Seeing Donor's expressing ... or what I could see of it through his helmet after getting new tyres was a sight to behold.
Then getting a tour through a glass factor, well that was just crazy on a new scale!
Very good lookin' tyres, and cheers for the tip on cherry coke.. that was A M A Z I N G.
Now back to being home ridden by the powers of pure evil *waits for punch*... there it is.![]()
Bwahaha... go the powers of pure evil!
Did I mention the most excellent impromptu ride, commencing at the BP in Botany, and incorporating the greater twisty sections of the Goat Track?
Safe to say the tires are somewhat scrubbed, though another couple of hundred kms should see them properly prepped...
I'll let Master Pootler expand on the events of this eve... I'm still buzzing... I wonder if a short ride will fix that...![]()
At the 2007 Westpac Ride:
Donor: So ya glad you're a Biker?
Minnie: F**k yeah!
Well, after I got Vamr off to the moronway safe and sound, I had to do some chores ... involving my little ol'hornet dashing around and doing everything lickety-split.
The ride we took was in the dark and took in all the lovely twisties we know so well. BP Botany jump off point and we were all saying "Where's Jeaves!?" Donor took on himself to go to the little boy's room and we all knew Jeaves would turn up!
Lo and begorrah, Jeaves!
We did the ride through monument road, hit Maraetai and that's where Winter left us (I'm sure it was the delay!) Through to Clevedon and we adjusted our route to leave out Kawakawa and just do the Dover patented Goat Track route!
Through the twisties of twilight road, blatted back to Clevedon and into Paps to do Quarry Road. Pitch Black by now and the fun was only starting! Zipped and zapped our way through the Hunuas and back down to Clevedon.
Absolute Magic. I was point but rode like a nana - just the occasional cager coming in the opposite direction with full beams onso I replied in kind
It was so fun, I really wanted to keep riding! So tonight I did! Went to Slyvia Park, out to the city to read bike mags in Borders (I think I would like the new 2007 Hornet 600) to Wendy's for a feed (hey! I think someone else had a feed there as well!
)
Blatted around Mission bay, through St Heliers GP track, MT Wellington, Ellerslie and back on the moronway to Takanini Servo to refill and to post it all up here.
Actually, I still feel the need to ride ... and I've got a full tank of gas![]()

"And, look, the luscious and fecund fronds of the Silver Fern has given brilliant birth to a stupendous fruit! A red Hondaberry, desposited by a lesser known species of Plonker Gittus Maximus Idiotus."



Any idea what those large brownish square patches of roadwork were on the main road of cleavedon? Felt like mud the way the rear started to slide at a lean... had to stand the bike up then lean back down on the centre line. Wasn't the ideal choice but meh.
Good ride, for some reason enjoyed twilight road a lot more in the dark. The rhythm of the corner transitions felt a lot easier. Go figure.
Hehe, noticed you highbeaming the SUVs. At least we saw them coming up to the vanishing points well before being blinded.
Doner, did you get any friendly loose gravel fire this time around?
Have just finished work, arg, I am shattered. Time for me to pass out.
Cripes, just popped out to the man cave, and Rosey is covered in some nasty stuff, courteously of those brown patches from Clevedon methinks!
Anyhoo, awesome ride last night, I am no longer a Twilight Rd virgin, and several other twisty, pucker-worthy roads also got the SERIOUS nana learn from 'ol Donor last night!
Prior to last night, my total riding at night time was probably easily measured in minutes, so I was a bit more 'nana than usual (hard to believe I could go slower, I know) and was quite pleased to be riding TEC with the lesser spectacled Jeaves in front, as I got to blame him... nyuk nyuk!
After Jeaves' departure at Ardmore Quarry, I decided to suck it up and have a bit more fun with my fear and adrenaline. I quickly discovered my bike DOES have a high beam, and by gods does it light up! So then I'm off and before too long I espy a gijo1313 and a Vamr sitting and waiting, but only for a second and then vroooooom - ZIP!
I was learned and humbled.
But shit I had a POWER of fun!
Oh yeah, and my tires are all good too
Oh yeah, and the 2 smoker emissions were kindy sexy too, don't tell gi or ixion I said that though...
At the 2007 Westpac Ride:
Donor: So ya glad you're a Biker?
Minnie: F**k yeah!
I hate you guys
Yes, we were disparaging your name and making cheap your manhood! Little in repose, did we deign to uncover a dearth of diseased rumours and muck about your character!
Fulsome was our songs sung with the noise of our steeds of design!
Not small was the heartiness of platonic male friendship -
Strengthened was our bond of comradeship - brothers of the cycle.
Mayhap, shall e'er our tyred paths shall brook,
Espy our grins and jeers, of cagers overtook.
Through lighted darkness and twisties aplenty,
We few, we merry few
Tarried at the Quarry, wended our way through Twilight's challenges,
Safe to home and ensconced with loved ones...
Dreaming of new places to evince those nostalgic feelings.
Excelsior!

My mind officially exploded trying to decode that post.
I think, tomorrow should be a ride, be it after noon or night time!
Can't let donor get a big head with his new traction now, might have to set the record straight on who scraped their pegs on friday!![]()
Haha, *PWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
I have to admit, it was loud as shit but seemed like it could take off in a heartbeat... can't wait to see Daisy and Dandi finalised and be the first to be volunteer road fodderThe need for accelleration is excessive!
