Bugga! Sorry to hear that John, was coming too for once.

I'll be there tonight at the Autobahn out the front of the cafe at 6.55pm.

Trying to get some stuff done but aim to go so please don't piss off before 7.00pm. Don't want to be out after dark though. There aint no way I'm spending $100 on a visor to see better in the dark when I hardly ever go in the dark anyway.

So, I'm in for a quick one to one and half hour squirt and back home again if that's ok.

Anyone confirm?

**jafar** · 28th February 2008, 18:31

Sorry I couldn't get there , work got in the way

**gijoe1313** · 28th February 2008, 20:17

Well I was running a little bit late today, blardy probs at BP Takanini servo and it took ages to process my card!

Anyhows, rode to Autobahn and no-one there ... I thought as much (everyone buggered off) ... and I did the ride anyhows ... through Drury/Mercer and the Hunuas and checked out the Clevedon pub in case any likely bods there...

Nup!

Hope everything is good with you oldguy, nothing too serious I hope!

Twas a goody and not a solo.
Just me and Stify and he rides well

Meant to be a short loop around 27 Kauiau and back over Clevedon but got turned back on 27 cos a road closure for 4 hours, real bad accident, cars, trucks etc.
Went back to Mercer down Island Road, Findlay road etc and clocked about 190kms in the end.

Nice cop at Mercer in HP told us where and not where to go and asked us both to gun the bikes so he could hear the exhausts. I said how fast and he replied, go for it mate

So of course we did.

Ended up riding in the dark thought, not much chop with a dodgy visor. Oh, Stify managed to reduce the marsupial population by one more. Split a possy down the middle in the Orere point gorge

Good to get out for a good blast after a crap day at work.

GIJOE, must have barely missed you and crossed paths almost by the sounds of it

**gijoe1313** · 28th February 2008, 20:28

Ahh poopers, the roads were beautiful to ride, a bit of loose stuff in the Hunuas, but nary a cager in sight and the fading light made for a great ride!

Was wondering if there were any of you riding out around ... I was thinking I must just be missing your stops and making a different turn here and there!

All good though, there was a resurgence in the SATNR!

All good mate, just a bit pissed at my self, stuff all damage, gear shifter, indicator, and a small dent in the frame/tank.
but I guess its not up to me, the insurance company has the last say.
congratulations, to you and your partner/wife to be 8 years, I guess its like taking a demo bike, you have to test ride/run. I wonder if any bike shops do a 8 year demo's on bikes, would like to be sure before I buy.

You okay John?

unfortunately it is the Buell, doesn't look bad, but its up to the insurance people.
I'm fine,
