Sunday vs Saturday Rides

**bikerboy** · 12th June 2003, 10:09

I don't mind which days I ride as long as I get to ride. I just find the "riding ritual" intriguing.

As for Ulysses M/C, I'm not familiar with them but get the impression they are different?. I do know Mike rides with them and he seems a good guy and more than capable rider so what's the implied subtext?

Are they as manic as the IMOC gang? or just the opposite...I get it now!

Thanks, BB. I was beginning to suffer from mild paranoia...

As for the implied subtext, take your pick:

(a) We are all a bunch of old f*rts and being over 40 is already a crime against nature so anything else is irrelevant.
(b) We all fall off our bikes at least once every ride, usually because the Alzheimers makes us forget to put our feet down when we stop. Thus we constitute a hazard to other road users and place an unacceptable drain on resources especially medical care.
(c) We are all desperate to recapture our lost youth so we constantly ride way beyond our capabilities, just like your average 17 year old...
(d) When we have the money to buy perfectly good bikes like 600cc sports bikes, FZRs, GSXs and so on, we waste it on sh*t like Goldwings, Harleys, Triumph Thunderbirds, etc. thus proving that we are not real bikers.

it's just a wind up.
it's all good.

back to the topic, I ride Sundays because i get things around home done on Saturday. I like to get the work out of the way first,
business before pleasure.

I'm a shift worker, so days off during the week are like mana from heaven.

Both times I've met up with other KiwiBikers have been Saturdays, if that's any help to you.

I always tend to think that Sunday gives more cops on the road than Saturday because they tend to stay up on Friday evening and snooze on Saturday morning and there is more traffic of family saloons on Sundays.

But, hey, there are lots of tendencies in my analysis there

well sunday is generally the day for religion - well christianity at least, and instead of going to church bikers just go down to the garage and pray to their little machines to hold together for just another week.. and so on

or at least thats what i do. Secondly what bluninja said is true - hard friday nights mean i dont usually feel like riding when i first get up

but then again its often both fri and sat? so who knows. Last point for me, on sunday afternoon i am feeling like crap because i only have work to look forward too for a week

so its like doing one last fun thing in heaven before entering hell

Mind you, SOMEBODY ORGANISE A RIDE, or better yet A BBQ! as i havnt done a proper weekend ride in a good month or so (scince ZXR go bye byes to pukekohe). So a BBQ would be great as id only have to ride there myself on the GS, as opposed to riding with others on it - im embarrased because that bike is like the only bike thats genuinly scared me, and well. And when i decide "f*** it, im man enough to throw this around the road" i go fast but mistakes are made and riding gets sloppy, wouldnt wanna take any of my brothers out now would i

cheers.

Hey - I like - I am Daniel - and i did that, excluding the praying that is (apart from the one corner where I got awfully close to the outside - but that was more like - jesus fucken christ that was close - is that a prayer?)

**babyB** · 12th June 2003, 22:09

i dont mind what day of the week i go riding (every day would be premo) getting the babysitter is the hard part

god may look after the kids but he sure dont keep them out of the cupboards.lol

Yeah Dan - I thought of you when I posted.

"jesus fucken christ that was close - is that a prayer?" - more an invocation to the patron saint of builders!

Please ease-up on the language guys. I can handel all your F words, But that phrase I find disturbing.

Well, let me ask y'all this .......

Who rode the first motorcycle ever, ever, ever ? Huh ?

Wasn't Mr Davison. Wasn't Herr Benz. Wasn't Mr Norton.

It's in the BIBLE. It says so in black and white.

MOSES had the first motorcycle.

Let me quote: ...."Moses came down from the mountain,

and the sound of his Triumph

was heard throughout the Land ......."

Excellent image SP Man. Full marks. Is that ping effect coming from his knee-slider? Kool, very kool.
