Hi All

After reading this thread I had planned to try to meet up with the Ashurst crowd but initially thought you weren't leaving til 12. Got home from walking mutt at 11 and checked the thread but found out you were probably already on the road. Charged off anyway, blatted all over the Wairarapa and saw heaps of bikes out and about - nice day for it. Forgot to grab the camera but have blogged my ride here:http://banditrider.blogspot.com/2007...nday-arvo.html.

Good day out on the bike tho.

Hi Banditrider

Welcome to KB. Good to see you posting and it's a shame we missed you yesterday - it pays to be flexible on the Ashurst rides

Had a very quick look at your site, nice job mate.

Anyway, will be good to see you out there, these rides are always good. Cheers.

when he says "flexible" he really means "dont believe anything you read/hear/see. we just make it up as we go along.

He was going to get us to clean it in the Wild Oats car park, but I had forgotten my toothbrush so couldn't help.

Finally got em downloaded Alan, check out the Solstice ride report!

Ah yes, the flesh wounds lol. The Trumpy has a beautiful undercarriage alright, and I seem to be 'blinging' it rapidly! That drop off the one way bridge took the suspension by surprise two up goddamn it. Still, it's British Steel isn't it, so no harm done

I can also think of words like 'dynamic' and 'rapidly changing', a bit like the rides really - works for me
