Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[MSTRS:Me]

I have a plan.......we do breaky at W & Ds....say 6.15am - 6.45am...then off to Palmy North....eta 9.00am easy. Meet up with all the Southern cuzzies going to the Protest Ride and ride up the Desert Road to Taupo...eta Taupo 11.30am. Do the Protest Ride through Taupo...then grab some lunch followed by a nice leisurely run back home to Napier and maybe a BBQ tea somewhere real close to where we started ( thats if ya dont mind having tea where ya had ya breaky) and that way all the ladies and others that coiuldnt make da ride cause of work and dat could come round for da BBQ as well....now, dats a plan. I realise it's gunna be on a Tuesday...but what the heck, it's close enough to xmas so might as well make it our Christmas get together as well...what you all reckon....Cheers W
Hey, we could invite Freddie...cause all us HBers love our wee Freddie
Any of the southern mob want to overnight here on tuesday nite...we will find beds, no worries

Too big a day for the (nearly) Wimpy Club members....but liking the idea if it can be 'shortened'

I gotta work the day before and the day after...its a dreadful time of year for schools anyway, so the stress levels and work levels are high....
I'll pass on the brekky and the extra kays but join you for a protest, lunch, a ride and a BBQ tea...

I Dunno I didnt get me ticket yet, 40 demerits though and possibly $250 cos I got caught in the Mrs car at 127 and it cost me $170. Gona have to take it easy now cos I dont want to let Paddy ride me bike.

Hmm sounds like you're going to have to leave it in first gear for a wee while aye George? Demerits are a bit of a bugger though, still waiting for mine to tick over the two years, got them back when i was young and immature

Although you could always park the R6 in my shed so you're not tempted to be naughty and go fast on it....

[yungatart]

When you were young and immature, eh, Pat?
Like you are old and wise now......
Good try in protecting Big G from himself....but could you resist?????

So I guess a wine or two's outta the question then.....

[Colapop]

A whine or two? That's the 'other' thread...

Always up for a wine or two....unless I'm riding! Get some OJ in eh?

Did you ask if you could pop in and offer your opinion?????







Hi Col!

[BigG]

BigG, how hard did you get on the brakes when you eyeballed the fuzz?

I've personally found that in such situations I have to overcome a natural urge to ride on past without heavy braking, whistling innocently into my helmet as though nothing's happened.

Unfortunately, that instinct can stop one from braking sufficiently to avoid a ticket. If you stand the bike on its nose the moment you glimpse the cop, you should be able to slow down fast enough so that they can't lock on to a ticket-worthy speed. Remember, if they can see you, you can see them. Keep those Mk I eyeballs peeled, and use those brakes for all they're worth!

(If you're travelling above the ton, though, I'd say that slowing down sufficiently probably wouldn't be doable, so... just have somewhere to run to eh?)

Eternal vigilance!

Instant reaction hit breaks hard comeing down the hill. just as well i did cos i would not be riding for a month or so never mind got to take it on the chin and be thankfull I never got snapped the other day.

Yes.

Yep them demerits aint good could be up there a little bit now, young and imature got nothing to do with it, I cant see us doodeling along at 100K's I'm old and stupid, should have had me old radar fitted to this bike.

[BigG]

Yes.

If you want to ride it all you got to do is ask and treat it with love and respect.

Thanks for the offer. however i think it's about time that i got back onto some wheels of my own instead of borrowing others gear
And besides whenever i get off a nice bike i know i cant afford to own all i do is go cry in my room

[hXc]

Hahaha, Pat's an emo. Cheer up, save your pennis and buy yourself a big bike.
I can now officially get my full licence. Getting off my arse and going into town to book it is another question though.

[Colapop]

So... umm... get off your arse and do it!
