as much as i would like to see a ride on the north shore i do agree about the plod being more of a issue this side of the bridge.it is publicly anounced and i have witnessed it to that there i a rodney district wide blitz on traffic offences,,its been mayhem out there the plod have been having a field day and helen can now finall afford the op. best to wait till end of year perhapd for a shore ride or some other ways to avoid police harrasment

I am thinking of running another ride this weekend, usual part of auckland, can I get a heads up idea of numbers since its labour weekend to see if anyone is interested?

Yes. PM me if it's on.

BTW, my home internet connection is currently fucked (thanks telecom), so I'm currently in a shitty cybercafe trying to clear the backlog, and I'm not able to organamtorise anything on the North Shore until I've got decent access.

The cop that spoke to us on Sunday understood that we were out for a squirt and told/asked us to have a good day and just, dont do anything stupid, he spoke long enough to have good look at all of us and the bikes, and he seemed a alright dude, he added '' dont draw attention to yourself '' and '' dont give me any paper work to do''.... dont give them a reason to stop you and your day riding will be all that you want it to be, choosing your moment to twist it a little is easy, going through the Dome on sunday, plod waved, flashed his headlights, maybe doing a tad over the limit but we weren't being 'cocks' on the road.........

I dont like that comment after all the effort that Mcjim and I put into running the learner rides, considering you havent even come on one!

Who was the one that lost their licence recently??

[toymachine]

If you wanna go nuts on a 250 tag along in one of the more general rides... my Bandit screams to keep up.

The learner rides are just that...

[Morcs]

hey toy machine where are you out west, youre bandit isnt black is it?

EDIT, just seen youre profile pic, was that you behind me the other night caning around whenuapai?

[toymachine]

Nup, wasn't me... perhaps it was "black bandit"?

[Morcs]

couldve been, all i know is they couldnt keep up when i was accelerating, followed me right round whenuapai and gave me a big wave when i turned off. was a good rark.

If you're all about thrashing the arse out of your bike then the 250 rides we run wouldn't be your bag - you wouldn't enjoy yourself cos we don't cane it - we go at an even pace - the objective of each rider is not to lose the rider behind. It is NOT the responsibility of the rider behind to keep up with the rider in front - that way lies madness, broken bikes, broken bones and lost licences - we let all the more experienced riders risk their licences

Remember - faster = better only on the track - the better rider on the road is the one that lives longest.

I'm not taking a pop at the stuff you enjoy - what you do on your bike is up to you but our 250 rides aren't too fast.
