Mid-week ride

Bugger
What time did you make it to the BP? We left about 6.05.
If you are coming next week post here and we will wait for you.
Cheers

I did'nt expect to meet you guys at the spot you meet as it was after 6.30, but I never saw one bike on the road anywhere, was weird.

Yeah I will advise when I can come, reckon I could probably be there 6.15 latest if all goes well at work.

When and where are these rides? I'm keen to try it out once my bikes back on the road.

We went north, that's why.

Every Wednesday night. We meet at the BP Taradale Rd at about 5:50pm, leave 6 sharp on most nights unless informed of someone who may be running late for whatever reason.

So you got the plaster off? Riding next week then? You bettert take the Gixxer.

No! No! (maybe a pillion, if I'm lucky!) And NO!

No! No! (maybe a pillion, if I'm lucky!) And NO!

What do you mean if you are lucky? I will give you a seat if you need one. After all these are SLOW rides........ ..........

[yungatart]

Lucky, as in, getting these casts off...so that I can get boots, gloves on and then pillion. If the casts are still on, then the gear doesn't fit - hence no ride, see?

You got off light, .....I had way more bugs than that, noticed heaps more goats coming back, they seem to hang around the road more on dusk. And mail trucks.

Wasp and I did see a mail truck...not for long.
It was the produce trucks that we had to pass in the last gorge.

The Goats cross the road at dusk to head back in to the hills. I have seen them crossing back in the mornings at daylight when I have gone up for breaky. They are a problem. I did smell dead stuff 3 times as we came home so I assume their are some dead ones. Just got to ride slow enough to stop for them

By the way you ride well. You will be moving up to the Thursday rides soon.

Someone please look out for the new face - he/she is a learner so you might need to drop your pace a bit If we don't get there enjoy your pootle, tis a gorgeous day for a ride

When yu read this you will be home from your ride and as you will know I was not there, ......arrrrr, what am I doing.

Had a bloody good 2 days in sunny Wellington, was b e a u t i f u l there Monday and hot, man, whew, ......with my liners in, cause the way the weathers been I was expecting cold and had nowhere to store the liners so had to sweat it out in them. I enjoyed them later on Tuesday avo coming back along SH50, the temperature dropped, and riding into Napier it started to rain, whats going on, this is the Bay ! a rain free zone, ....not amused.

In case you do not know there was a KB ride ride organised for the 6th, approx 20 riders where expected, I arrived at Rimutux early to find a couple of bikes, after that they just kept rolling in and rolling in, dam good turnout and good to meet some of the people behind the names on KB. Must have been over 40 riders. Was an awesome sight with so many bikes on the road, an interesting mix.

There are road sprints on this Sunday 11th in Carterton, I would be keen to ride down, anyone else ? Good excuse for a bit of ride.

Hope you all have had a good ride this evening, I'm feeling like I missed out already before I even hear some stories, still its going to be hard to beat last weeks ride to Wairoa and back, that was fun.

Hi

I just got my bike a week ago and am keen to go for a ride,
I have been looking for any local events to go to but had no luck
till I stumbled onto this thread.
will have to come along and have a look.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I missed the ride..............You won't believe it but I got my work bike stuck in da mud up to the seat out the back of da farm. Took an hour and a half to get it out. Never ever had that happen before.

Then the battery went flat and the mud flooded the exhaust pipe and then water got in to the carb via the air intake and I still had to put the cows away and ....................... I am shagged from pulling and pushing the f$%cking thing in knee deep sticky mud. I hate work

Hope you had a good ride tonight you lot time for
