North Shore ride - Invasion of the Southers!

**Donor** · 12th March 2007, 21:40

18th March 2007 - changed to this date to suit us hard core Southers!*

So, you going?

I'm going.

See the Meetings and Events area, I'm too cool to post a link.

Zeocen - be there, or I will clean your bike.

Chisanga - be there, or I will scuff your leathers.

Lucy - be there or I will tip your bike over while you change.

Mav - be there, or I will hide your shades thus reducing your biker cred.

Gijoe1313 - be there, or I will not remove the caveat on Daisy preventing any ricer bling.

McChickaJim - Half of you be there, or I will ... well, it won't be pleasant.

Everyone else - be there, or Zeocen will sing.

*Southers = South of the Bridge...

Shit, time to get your guns out and lay the mines on the bridge guys....

**Unforgiven** · 13th March 2007, 08:10

Dammit, Id better hurry up and get some paint on my fairings and put the bike back together.

Sorry dude, probably can't make it

And my leathers have a scuff mark on them from my last bin

My Bonny is over the ocean, my Bonny is over the sea,
my Bonny is over the ocean, o bring back my Bonny to me!
Bring back, bring back, o bring back my Bonny to me, to me;
bring back, bring back, o bring back my Bonny to me!

And now ... for something completely different ...

Pootle over the bridge to goodness knows where? Like everything else in my life, I cannot make a commitment without it blowing back up in my face!

...

So... in reverse pyschology karmic terms ... "I won't be there!"

Oh, heck.

Got the carbs back from Motorcycle Surgery today. Send me some good vibes and hope that everything goes back on the bike alright and she works....

Booked Friday off work to scout the route.

Could someone wake Mav's weather Genie up? Ta.

**zeocen** · 13th March 2007, 18:13

I won't be able to make it

a greater force (in the form of a female) has me surrendered on sunday, if it was saturday I could have come!

My bike could do with more than a clean.. try some plastic welding and a new windshield!

And also, my singing is flawless thank you very much!

**idleidolidyll** · 13th March 2007, 18:40

What's a Dorklander? Damned if I can find a Dorkland on my map.

And ain't nuthin' wrong with us going there - means more riding time for us.

No pleasing some people.

I will seek this female, and berate her. I have sacrificed golf and beer, you SHALL attend.

And you don't need plastic welding, duct tape works better.

As for your singing, explain why all the windows in your house are Plexiglas then!

I shall light the sacred incense and begin the chants to alert the necessary deities to your plight...

Oh sure, you COULD organise a set route - but where's the fun in THAT?

an hour + on an auckland motorway? hardly quality ride time.

if that's to go north then i'm not interested; must be their turn to come south

An hour + on a bike is an hour + on a bike. 'nuff said.

Didn't realise biking was a turns based game. Brings back fond memories of BRE/SRE...

Anyway, enjoy your day south of the bridge on Sunday. You'll be missed. Probably.

Well, that's sort of the point.

This is a 250 slow/medium ride, aimed at the less experienced who want to gain a bit of road time without it being a baptism of fire. It's also for those on any size of bike who don't necessarily want to squid it up.

Maverick & McJim have been organising rides along these lines down south every fortnight for the last six months or so. I thought it was time to invite them north, especially as there's a group of north shore usual suspects who travel south for their rides regularly.

nope, an hour on a motorbike on the auckland motorway is an hour missed on some other far better piece of tarmac

sometimes it is and sometimes it's just about respect

Anyway, enjoy your day south of the bridge on Sunday. You'll be missed. Probably.

"probably", i like that tongue in cheek stuff, i thought the talk last week was to head to hamilton and meet those guys?
