South Auckland Learner Friendly Ride, 3 June 07

Right, got the Stebel on (finally), so some Sunday drivers might get a nasty wake up call if they get in our way

139db of screaming goodness

See you at 10...

It's the South Eastern Highway turnoff, follow signs/lanes for Pakuranga (not Onehunga).

The South Eastern will take you up on a ramp over Sylvia Park, down to a junction crossing Carbine Rd, straight on and over the bridge.

You'll need to get in the right lane to turn right onto Ti Rakau and follow all the way to the end (long road) where it crosses Chapel Road.

You'll pass the Botany Town Centre where you'll see Countdown on one corner, Pak N Save, McD's and Kmart. The BP is just around the corner hidden by the Kmart block of shops, just turn left there and all hey presto you're there.

Will turn up tomorrow to say hi, but have limited Babysitting hours so will bugger off early in the ride to take the kids out for a jaunt to see Steam Trains.

I'll do the "finger-out-the-window" test in the morn. If it comes back wet I'm staying put - warm in bed else I'll see ya there.

Zeocen, you sad sad bastard!

hahah, you bitch!

After viewing the list and seeing all of the bikers attending, _damnit_. I made the wrong choice, motogp on a massive projector was awesome.. but the real thing would have been so much better.

...argh, I always go for the wrong decisions

Damn you Donor, you suck at slappinmg me into sense!

ps. Doing anything sunday arvo/evening? :P I have a feeling I'm gonna be itching for some riding/looking/mancave/beer events.

Not to throw this thread off topic, I hope you all have a safe and happy ride, be careful of the dodgy black water on the road in the corners! Ride like the wind ! I now kick myself and wish I was in bed much, much earlier to be able to ride with y'all.

The weather looks as if its going to hold just long enough for us to have a nice wee ride.

I'm riding up to meet you all from our destination and the weather down here is looking great, a few clouds here and there but mainly blue sky. I'll be setting off at about 8ish in order to get back to akl b4 10am see you guys there!

Thanks for organising the ride, it was a good one. I couldn't believe our luck with the weather, there were some really dark patches of sky but our route just missed them.

I hope you didn't mind me deciding to go back via Kopu, it's just a lot twistier and a bit less traffic than the way we came.

Yup. Good riding today. First time I've been down that way ... I can see the attraction. Pity about the traffic - could have been better.

YamahaR64Life, just keep the fuzz interested long enough to allow the rest of us to slip by unnoticed.

McJim, you need a bib for ur boike

. The pains of owning exotics hey?

But that sound -- oooooooo baby.
