(09) 250/learner riders doing the westpac ride?

**zeocen** · 29th January 2007, 23:20

I was just wondering how many learners or 250'ers are going to be attending this? Some bastard who shall remain nameless decided to shed light of this astounding ride to me in the weekend and I'm pretty much 100% going.. I was just wondering if there were others of the 250 ride groups who were going. I'm scared of riding next to 1499 bikes that are more expensive than mine, I need people I trust to ride next to!

So yeah, who's heading to it !?

I'll poodle along if you like , being thinking about going.

Dont know if you can trust me though

I really want to go but I get married the day before and I'll probably end upo being divorced if I went. Will go next year

Its a tame ride for anyone and everyone, all sorts of bikes from scoots thru to trikes. You'll love it.

Who was this aforementioned bastard?

Name him, so we can beat him senseless with loose women, and drown him in a vat of horribly expensive imported beer!

Oh, and I'll be there!

I'm there too mate, hopefully Donor will be over his bike inadequacy issues by then but just in case i'll bring a few packs of tissues for him

**tide** · 30th January 2007, 12:26

I'm going...

Although not sure if you want to be riding amounst a group of learners...

**placidfemme** · 30th January 2007, 12:28

I may be going... Still not 100% certain... depends on how much Sam bitches at me... but I'm keen

**McJim** · 30th January 2007, 12:31

I'm going on a 250 but I'm not a learner no more.

The missus is going and she still has her yellow plate of pride.

I'm just upping my post count so I can get to 1000 posts

Actually this sounds like a fine excuse to go for a ... bike ride!

My pillion has been chomping at the bit to go out too!

And lordy, lordy, lordy - will an electric mango square appear again on my little ol'Hornet

But...it's for the children! Oh, the humanity of it all!

Now, where's da details, I'm a lazy git!

**Minnie** · 30th January 2007, 19:25

**zeocen** · 30th January 2007, 22:40

Oi! How did you know about my run-in with a power pole that jumped out at me?

Oh wait...darn...

gosh...that seems like a lifetime and tight orifice long ago (cue : SW soundtrack ) ... just re-read that thread myself and wondered how the heck I learnt to ride a bike in the first place!

Apologies for dragging thread off topic (again...and again and...

)

So...it's in Karaka as a jump off point ... now... exactly where in Karaka?
