Hamilton 250 ride 16/12/2006 (Learner Friendly)

**McJim** · 9th December 2006, 18:55

Some of the regulars of the 250 themed ride from South Auckland were discussing possibilties for a the last 250 run of 2006. It was mentioned that it might be nice to meet some of the Hamilton 250 riders halfway.

This thread is started to see if there would be any interest from the Hamilton end - we would also need someone with some experience to agree to organise learner and less experienced riders and accompany them to somewhere halfway between Auckland and Hamilton.

We already have a route and destination if there is no interest but if there are people from Hamilton keen to meet up and get some good kilometres under their wheels simply post in here and I'll keep an eye on it.

Thanks.

Your better half is on her own 250 now isn't she? Could be a good wee opportunity for her to get some kms under her wheels.

That's the whole point - Our group leaves Auckland their group leaves Hamilton - we meet somewhere in the middle with good food/entertainment, talk bikes/shite, kick tyres, admire yellow 2 smokers etc. then fark off home having met some more KBers and expander our respective horizons a little....Oh I forgot...you're dressing in Red not Yellow that day...if you'd been skinny you would never have got the job

How about Taupo people go and we all meet in Hamilton?

I'd be keen to get the electric mango out and about on Dec 16th.
Trying to book myself some training that morning, but if that falls through then a ride would be more fun.

Let me know... depends if I can write 30 odd school reports though betwen now and then.

Pretty keen though, there isn't as many 250 rides I've seen down here.

there's a shortish learner-friendly ride tomorrow morning (Sunday 10/12/06) @ 10am at the Hamilton Motorcycle Club (opposite the Rugby Stadium on Seddon Road).. I would be going, but my carb to airbox hoses are leaky again, so I gotta sort that out after I go to sleep, then wake up..

I'll probably be keen to go on that two-fiddy ride on the 16th though

You sir, are a b'stard.

I have tentatively suggested to the organisers of said work function, that I may be unavailable. This causes me no concern, as I personally don't celebrate xmas.

There was mention of me having a leg broken if I don't show.

I figure if I can con them into breaking the right hand leg, then at least I can still change gears, just means I'd have to go easier on the braking...

...hmmm... tempting...

Provided the interest I would'nt mind organising those who were coming from outside of hamilton to meet some where in hamilton then heading up the line to meet the auckland crew.

Send me a PM if your keen and we can get the ball rolling, (as long as MCjim is comfortable with this arrangement.)
