South Auckland Thursday Night Ride

[DidJit]

Cheers all — nice ride! Most enjoyable.

[Cary]

Good ride, nice for it to be dry for once.

Like others I had to do a bit of flicking between hi & lo beams quite a lot just so I could see the corners, 999 has good high beam, crap low.

Possibly see you next week.

[Lula]

Mmmm nice ride alright, looks like I don't miss the hot dogs afterall. See you boys and girls next week

[DidJit]

Didjit, night time makes things appear and feel very different,you rode well and sensibly.

Cheers caseye. (Didn't see your post earlier this morning — still rubbing sleep from my eyes...) Yep, night time is certainly a completely different ride, but I'm very happy to keep practicing.

It was nice ride but it all gone bit weird for me at the end as younger one of two guys that start playing pool table approach me and introduce him self to me told me he is from Austria and he ask me do I like to have free Dive from the Plane, then he said that he like my size and he will give me free jump and some ether discount for year of that usually cost 350$. After he give me his ph number, he told me JUMP is free and I can take him for hot ride on my bike . WTF I just look at him and I was that close to him but older guy that was with him just hold my hand at the bar and ask me to leave him he just had much to drink, so I walk out. Thanks sharperXB for making sure I'm OK!
So anyone (Steve) that like to have free JUMP call 1-800-TO JUMP and ask for Alex.

I bailed when I heard him saying Oh Din your arms are as big as my thighs that was enough for me... only came back to see if i could take your bike home instead...

[caseye]

Sharper, you left?come on that just doesn't sound like you, Din possibly in a scrape and you bailed, I don't believe it! nope, I just don't.
Carey, thats the worlds best understatement I reckon, "flicking" man I was forever hitting high to see round some of those monstrous Corners.
Didgit, always good to have people along who want to learn and who ride sensibly and for themseilves, enjoyed the company mate lets see you again.
Puddy, missed yer etheral sense of humour at the destination mate.If I'd known you was heading for Coroglen I'd probably have joined you, come with us next week,
Jafar, I swung by the Post last night before leaving Mercer, didn't see a bike anywhere so I carried on, hope it was a good night there too.
Oh yes, Jafar, Poker run, The Kentish, Sunday, THIS SUNDAY I believe, details please, wifey might just join me for a little poottle on Sundee if it's all systems go.

I ride with my light on high, all the time, I don't mind if someone behind me has there lights on high, I just turn my mirrors down no worries, I,m more interested in what's out front than whats going on behind.
Better who ever behind can see where they are going than follow me, if i make a bad judgement and run off the road, don't want them following.

[puddy]

You're excused from the SATNR John. You ride past me every morning, so you ride more often than I do!

Good ride Thursday indeed, a dozen bikes at the Autobahn and almost a full moon.

like others I struggled a bit with the light conditions; in a way it is better when it's fully dark. The moon looked bloody awesome though.

Damn near did a crazy steve just after sharper took off to catch the front riders. I took off behind him but just after that my radar dtector fell off it's mount and was hanging by the power cord. With $800+ at stake I took my hand off the left bar to grab it just before a corner; very loose and missed kissing the ditch by maybe a metre

Sux mate, have no car at the mo. got no choice, though sometime if its a nice afternoon, I take the long way home as you do, via the coast for fish and chips.
