South Auckland Thursday Night Ride

[BigB]

yeah, cheers all.

pace was a bit slower this week cos I didn't really know where the fuck I was going and then it got dark and bug ridden.

still, good to see some old mates and some new ones and have a coupleof jars.

we're gonna restructure the rides a bit from now and do a whip around to cover the munchies and build a few bucks for spank and an end of summer bbq/piss up.

i'll discuss the details with the family and post up soon

Sounds good Dover,

so which one of you upset mr plod? was on Hill rd heading for the Southern when 1 highway patrol and a police station wagon came flying pass heading your way

Cheers

[adiddy]

[boomer]

if it was me, they didn't catch me


i managed a couple of 2 footers then stopped for a waz, only to have a young chickie stop and ask if i was ok? i said thanks.. it's all in hand!

lovely cage driver

[boomer]

ps.. cheers Ben for organising the ride and Ozzie for the food. good riding with everyone.

[The_Dover]

glad you posted boomer, i thought you'd got lost in the badlands and not made it home.................

i know what you northern dorises are like with directions

[Dai]

ps.. .. good riding with everyone.

Wish I could say that. Old and slow. 10 min behind the pack.

One day I hope to halve that.

Another great ride. Another brilliant social night.

My partner was feeling really tired and miserable before comming out with all of you. By the time we got home she was laughing, smiling and happy as hell. For that I thank you.

Dover, she thinks you have a wonderfully sick sense of humour and loved the banter between you and Boomer.

[Ozzie]

Great night chaps and chapettes!

Hopefully will get to do the ride with you lot next time, see how it goes. Was good to make it to the common end point though.

Sorry to all about the bomb shell re the food, I swear I didn't know before hand.

In talking with Dover and Boomer, we have come up with an idea of taking a $5 per head donation at the beginning of each ride. For this donation, you can partake in the nibbles (the food, not Dover), which based on the head count last night was $40, the left over, will be accumulated and perhaps at the end of the year, or the end of summer, we'll have a kick arse Sunday ride, ending up with a free (sort of) BBQ at the pub.

If everyone is in agreement, I will put to the pub that our "group" will use them as the base (a few of us drink there regularily anyway), sort of how their fishing club is set up. Then we can look at having the pub "help us out" with our end of year/season piss up. Not sure what that will get us, but maybe a discount on the piss for the do or something.

So, thoughts?

Oh, there was $20 left over from last night, which I have. If everyone is in agreement, I will get the paper work for a trust account, sort of multiple signatures for withdrawl sort of thing, to keep it all legit.

[boomer]

yeah, cheers Dover. pretty simple from there on in, even a fick norfern munkey like myself can find north ( after a couple of detours )

Dai, you should get out on teh day/weekend rides to build teh confidence. I'm sure in teh daytime you'll be ahead of The_Dover and only 5 minutes behind the pack.

i need to go find a screw for my radar mount as i felt naked last night without my pig spotter

[sillywilly]

bloody hell,didn't look at the bike till this morning,every forward facing surface has a nice crust of dead bug meat all over it,gonna take a chisel to get that lot off.
building up the piggy bank for a piss up/bbq sounds like a scheme to me

There are plenty of goods roads ouut south so I'm sure we can come up with something. Having said that any roads that you haven't been on before Dover are good as it allows the rest of us to keep up.

cheers
