5 sets of tyres in 24k's,you must be giving them arseholes.pirelli corsas on mine have done 5k's so far and still got some life in them,any how will be down amps mon/tues to have a look and see wtf

damn! you picked the wrong time of the year to break your bike. i used to work there and i know amps is particularly pressed for time about now as all the summer riders dust off their mounts and send them in for a service.
add delivery time from Blue Wing to that and you might be wise to go ask for a loaner (cross everything you've got you don't get the suzuki 100.

Nope: too bloody windy and mrs idleidolidyll is fling back from Palmy tonight (snigger)

If she makes it to Auckland I have to collect her at about 7.30 but frankly, I expect a delay

I considered this ride...then i remembered how windy it was riding into town before. Stuff that, too much effort. Was gonna take the cage, but hell, it is far to easy to sit on here and talk crap.

It's more than easy - some of us can't talk anything else. My excuse is the missus has taken the car and I can't be farked riding through Glasgow weather to drink New Zealand Beer.

Well, that was a damp squib of a meet tonight! I blatted around twilight road and Clendon before meeting at the agreed point at 6.50pm, twiddled me bleeding fingers I did

By 7.15pm no-one else had turned up so I went to bugger off for the ride myself when lo, Dover turns up in a cage ... with a L-plate on it! So, yelling through the window, we agree to meet at his place - after I told him that bugger all else was there!

After spending some civilised time we meandered to the Clevedon pub - I however decided to fang it around the goat track and through the Hunuas anyway on my little two-fiddy lonesome! Dodging branches, ducking strong breezes and overtaking tardy cages! Arrived at the pub and lo! I see the motley crew (ladies excluded!) all having a pint and... not wearing their biking clobber

Anyhows, got some drinkies, shovelled down the "non-lesbian" platter (as quoted previously), listened to some great biking stories and then ...

I still wanted to ride! So I did the quick, long way home and did twilight at night

So much for me wanting to ride over the shore or down to the 'tron!

C'mon lads and ladettes! Get yer two wheels out next time and enjoy!

Oh yeah, nice to meet new peeps and put some faces to nicks!

Nice to meet some more KBers. Crazy Steve was nothing like I expected, and I'm nothing like the 'fat chick' he imagined I would be!

**The_Dover** · 10th November 2006, 08:36

yeah, steve is about as crazy as bill gates stag night.

blade not fixed yet but i got the use of a mighty RF900 for thursday(beats walking) so hope the weather holds this week
also just a thought for the end of year thing, ride to matamata airfield or similar, jump out of a plane and head back for bbq and beer.maybe even use a parachute

**BigB** · 15th November 2006, 11:52

So we on this week??

**The_Dover** · 15th November 2006, 11:53

Weathers looking a bit pox at the moment but we'll still plan to go.

if it rains then we'll just have to shelter somewhere warm and dry, hmm, how about the pub?
