A general discussion about a possible ride to be organised sometime next week...

**gijoe1313** · 22nd July 2007, 14:07

Now this isn't a postulated exact 250 group ride (apparantly needs to be put into Meetings and Events)

But merely a convivial free thought discussion about where new learners and experienced 250 riders would possibly like to go next week (of course, this is highly flexible, not set in concrete - there may be things like weather to consider, Aunty Jemima's crockpot evening, even a small stroll on two legs through the affable surroundings of the Winter Gardens in mind)

I was thinking, note, just thinking that there could be a case in point to have a 250 group ride heading north! Just for a change, possibly taking in the merits of a motorway trip on the Nor'western...

And mayhap pass through Kumeu onto SH16...

But of course, this isn't an organised ride, since I need to have input from other riders to suggest other options!

So, to summarise, a possible 250 group ride, possibly heading north, possibly taking in the route to a more northernly direction with possible stops possibly next weekend, perhaps on a Saturday or Sunday!

All ideas to be considered and by group concensus hammered out in a robust way here in club 250.

I may or may not be the organiser, I may or may not be present, even to the extent that this thread may or may not even exist here for long!

Get a custom saddle made I hear they are ideal for sore dates.

Bah. No need.

Im 6'2'' on a little rvf. Can quite easily hoon all the way to taupo with only quick fuel stops. No pain in the arse...

Did whangerei with a pillion too no worries...

I think with your busa, if you rode it fast enuff, it would just jesus walk across the water!

Heck, with your busa, you could do the trip there and back before we even got there!

No fair... you make up 4-5 of our little two fiddy bikes!

Actually thinking about it now, we could always use someone to scout off down the road further along to check on road conditions!

So, there is a thought of heading up North (weather permitting) on a weekend that favours a Saturday ... hmm it's starting to come together now!

I think we will have to build in plenty of rest stops for those sprotsbikers and not to mention "learning points" so we can reflect on our riding and even have constructive feedback by more learned riders.

Yes, yes ... so Whangarei for subways or an ice-cream? Or in Hellraiser's case, he can tow his jet ski behind the busa for shits and giggles on the water!

Maha man is supposed to be organising a little pootle out on Saturday, prior to the 3M birthday bash, perhaps you may like to consider joining up with that ride, if indeed this said proposed sort of pootle of yours takes place at some part of Saturday next weekend

Could always head south and enjoy a nice day of drag racing.

No, you just have to do them 4 times
