South Auckland Thursday Night Ride

**idleidolidyll** · 5th October 2007, 08:21

Off to the bike shop this morning. My clutch was OK and it seems I may have just popped a seal in the master cylinder.

shortest ride I've had for ages; damn!

Ahh it was good to so that ride again! Yep, just as I remember it - watching disappearing tailights into the distance!

Thanks for letting a little ol'hornet tag along at the back - felt great to smell two-stroke smoke along the way (reminds me of Daisy!

)

Really funny seeing a bike being ooh-ahhed by a tourist at BP Autobahn, seems they are a bit of a talking piece!

Good to see The_Dover again and a few other faces I haven't seen in a whiles! Thanks for the great company and patience ... cleaning off the copius amounts of bug splat from the visor showed I had a good time!

Seriously hardcase stuff, an Italian woman was checking out my Repsol and it turns out she has one too and so does her husband

Then she starts showing me all her pic's, of the bikes, of her with Hayden, Rossi etc...and to top the thing off she asks me if I mind if her husband takes a picture of me and her with my bike!!
Go the Repsol aye, cool chick magnet boys

Yup, my first runner and it's not from the police, it's a fucken ambulance!!
Two of the guys had shot ahead while I waited for the back group and as we headed off I started playing catch up and off in the distance I saw flashing lights (behind various cars and bikes...)
Two secs to think about it and grrrrrr, off. Suffice to say I had no idea that it had been an ambo until Mercer at which stage I started laughing and then couldn't stop which kinda fucked up my riding rhythm. Shits n giggles huh

Well thanks for a great ride guys, nice to see the core group again, awesome to get back into the Thursday night ride mode again...

When she put her arm around you, you seemed a little surprised, but then you warmed up to it and did like wise, that looked so Hot

I was getting excited.
Very friendly couple,
Sorry to the young girl and her mum, who was out giving her driving lessons
The very first stop, just before heading back onto the motorway, at the top of the hill at the round about, there was a young girl learning to drive, the first group of riders, must have given her a fright as yous all went pass, then have seen us coming up as she got too the roundabout she seem to panic we just pulled up behind her and waited her little sister was in the back holding the L plate up to the back window to let use know, in the end her mum got out and took over, so we rode around them,
