Sat 26/6/04 SLOW Short West Ride

**Kwaka-Kid** · 23rd June 2004, 01:03

Hey guys, thought id better throw it up here.

Shade and myself are sure to venture out towards kaukoppakoppa on saturday via old north road and peak road, possibly go further to wellsford this time? just an idea...

anyway its just honestly going to be slow as, so we can learn more about the roads and just experience more twisty riding/developing street lines etc.

any riders willing to ride at a slow pace welcome, meet up at my place say 9am or 10am (whatever?) just gimmie a PM and ill give you Addy/Home phone details. Dunno what interest there is but id like to think its going to be as fun like always and if any maintanence needs doing on your bike bring it around earlier saturday morning-see if we can sort it out.

cheers guys

sounds good

**Posh Tourer :P** · 23rd June 2004, 08:25

I might be there for a bit. I have to be in Ellerslie at 12.

Goodie. I was looking for a ride this weekend (if it's not wet. My plug cap's got a tear in it, and doesn't like waterer.)
Iffen it's going to be SLOW, then I'll just use first gear. And mebbe second.

**jrandom** · 23rd June 2004, 10:04

Sounds good, although I'll need to be back home before 2pm or so. And I don't think I'll come if the weather is too rubbishy.

Maintenance? Hmmmm. Got any spare BT39 rears lying around?

**Kwaka-Kid** · 23rd June 2004, 11:31

haha! unfortunatly not.. wait a min, what size? Step father just got a GPX550 and is replacing the tyres, 17" rims, 110 front i think and 130ish rear? something like that, they still got mint tread, just unknown commuter brands (he wants proper tyres

) he might come on the ride too maybe.

Hopefully I can make it....my ZXR400's in a millions pieces (head off, valves out) and I'm still searching for some valve guide seals but I can't find any packs of 10 - I'm sure not paying $13ea for the dealer ones!

So I might just slap it all back together as is

**Kwaka-Kid** · 24th June 2004, 00:38

No Way Milks!!

dude that sucks! was going to ring you tonight from work, then realised the time a few minutes ago... Wanted you in on this ride dude.

Well we will see how it goes and how slow slow is etc and see what the riders think. Im thinking of heading not just to kaukoppakoppa - but then further up SH16 to Wellsford? will see on the day, shades keen, im keen on just any ride anywhere and giving anyone a hand. If shade gets all the crap ive dumped on him together we ought to have a good first aid kit with us all too, so get it together dude.

**Milky** · 24th June 2004, 10:30

first aid kit aye... in any way related to or derived from the place you work at?

**Kwaka-Kid** · 24th June 2004, 10:56

Ahem, i figure the stuff was sponsored to me, after all the safer i am out on bikes etc and if i come off i fix myself up good ill be back to work sooner, its for their own good.
