Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[v8s&2wheels]

I get exactly what you mean, it is just different which riding with people who have 'made it' financially with the top notch bikes and stuff. While it is good to hang with them (and learn form them) it is also good to have 'own kind' time

You got it mate. Anyways ill add you as a friend and we should organise a little meet up and trip somewhere.

What you reackon

hey mate

Nah im not too quick. Might have a quick bike but ive only been riding for a year. So ive got smoe skills but definatly havent mastered the 600 yet lol.

Id just go slow anyway let the smaller bikes keep up. I know what its like. Had a ride with my boss on his gsxr1000 when i had a zxr250 lol not fun.

Dont mind riding with older guys. But trying to get more of a young thing going on. Just more relative people to talk to etc. Not bagging the older guys, would happily ride with them. But ya must know where im coming from.

Yea i kinda get what you mean, i think im just an old fart on the inside i def know small bike syndrome, had a GPX250 as my first bike and rode with the bigger bikes then, more of a challenge to try keep up

have you thought about doing a trackday sometime?

So you still on restricted licence?

You crack me up Paddy, you 're after his 600 for the track Eh!

Yeah still got restricted. Low profile is the key i think.

I wouldnt mind doing a trackday just to get some good experience. But generally too busy for it. And im happy just using my bike as a bike not a racing machine. Maybe in a couple more years i might get into it a bit more

Anyguys in here around the age of 18-28 sorta thing? Im no expert rider or anything but im interested in mixing it up with some guys around my age to go for rides every now and then.

Anyone want to put their hands up on this situation? Or can someone point me to a thread or something where i could progress this?

Cheers guys

Most of us are old cunts if you call over 40 old.
But we dont ride like old cunts if you know what I mean..........
Its just the way it seems to have panned out for some reason in our group.

But age is irrelevant I reckon when we're on our bikes.
Come for a ride with us, we're nearly all on sports bikes and ride as such.

Track days are for learning to ride they can be training days best place to be with lots of people to help out and show you lines and the correct way to handle your bike.

Thats the problem. As im only on my restricted im worried about cruising anywhere at 140 (and yes i know thats what you guys tend to do lol). As if i get busted by a cop im going down big time. I feel more comfortable staying at 110, im just far too worried about the cops to cruise and be relaxed about it.
