Everyone is welcome to join this event, come along and enjoy the practice and the social aspect.
Miss L, come along and see if you still feel the need for an escort on the way home, we can probably arrange it if needed, but you might be surprised.

Ahh, now I know where the practise is I know I won't need help getting home from there.

See you all in Albany.

Sheesh, must have been something in the air tonight. Two bins

. Better to have them in a practice environment than out on the open road though. Nice low speeds so damage minimal to bikes and no serious injury to riders (I don't think). God I hate sound of scraping fairings and metal *shudder* - worse than finger nails on a blackboard IMHO.

Thems damn tricksy these two wheeled contraptions - keen to bite back without a moments notice.

skidMark showed up in a cage even - hooned about like some kind of nana-come-boyracer

Cheers Morcs and Yamaha4life for the blast to Albany - got meself bunged behind a few cagers unfortunately.

Yea glad everyone was fine at the end of it all.. was a nice run from riverhead ... my visor didnt even fog up this time.. shame abt the drops though.. but if ever I had to have one id prefer to take it like tht.. minimal damage just a few scruffs.. (mind u id rather not hav any)... skidmark was "lol" in his cage... hes had 9 binnes apparently n I let him sit on ma R6 (if only I knew tht earlier!! haha). Lissa? im sorry if i passed u at the lights I didnt mean to but I didnt expect u to stop n I didnt want to pop a stoppie onto bigdogs(i think) front end so i took evasive action n passed u instead, but if i jumpped u (as someone pointed out to me privately) I apologise dearly. Not my intention at all aye...

Raj.

Mmmm... beer + deepfried stuff.

**Disco Dan** · 14th June 2007, 16:30

Sounds like everyone had a good productive evening!

Sorry to hear about the 2 drops, however it is better to learn those lessons in a carpark under supervision than on the road in front of traffic!!

Hope to see you all again next week!!!!

**Morcs** · 14th June 2007, 16:54

Many thanks to Mack, Big Dog and Noel.

Im slowly getting over some temporary issues thanks to you guys.

**Chilling_Silence** · 17th June 2007, 10:51

Yeah bummer about the bins, but dead useful stuff learned! Better to fall in the carpark surrounded but supporting bikers than on the roadside.

Still, I'd love to do some more practise with the emergency braking, counter-steering etc, so will hafta keep coming along for the next 8-10 weeks whatever until it happens again :P

Thanks again to all

No Dan last week??
