Ride (Akl) Sun 10/10/04

[6Chris6]

Did 22 today so I'd be keen on the red ribbon run and then 16 to Old North through to Wellsford.
What time does the run start, route etc, etc.

[badlieutenant]

it starts at 10:30 and the ride is at 11:30. quite late in the day. was hoping to do both......................weather may crap out yet

[dveus]

Im keen to head down 22, I try to keep away from the city as much as possible. I'll be at the Autobahn by 10 so am keen to ride with whoever turns up.

Mat.

[Zapf]

Cool I'll be at Autoban at 10:00 leaving around 10:30

[badlieutenant]

Ill be checking in here in the morning to see if everyone is still keen. What kind of ride do you guys intend on doing ? was wondering because if the pace isnt to crazy I was gona drag my mate along with his xt400 motard (his 9YR old son will be pillion)

The WIMA run is my mission for the day.
Numbers will be down 'cause of the weather I recon, so I will bat one for the team today.
Plus the weather is crappy all over, north and south, so I figure the run will be the go for the day. all this rain sodden commuting has got me a little down, and I dont feel like a big cruise in more of the same.
Have fun folks..
And no bins eh?

[badlieutenant]

LOL I managed to get them roughly cleanish. I was parked next to a guzzi 1100. Errr was that you ? had pillion with them. I was on the crapyist looking bike there. Blue with dirt etc

[FROSTY:Me]

How did the ribbon ride go?
Working here so couldn't go

[badlieutenant]

wasnt too bad, bit of rain but otherwise there was a good turn out. I think they made a grand for the cause. I just like walking around looking at all the various bits of machinery. I need to get a KB sticker. Oh and just missed out on the big prize (whatever that was) 147 was the called numer and i had 148 did you know helen clark donated her old honda 50cc step thru to MOTAT, hmm she cant be that bad then

[FROSTY:Me]

Helen clarke as a rebel biker--The picture just doesn't fit lol

[MikeL]

Also saw a 1948 Douglas (showing that BMW didn't have an exclusive patent on the flat twin) and an MOT R80 from Motat. Helen's Honda was in remarkably good condition with the seat being the only part that had obviously been renewed.
Met up with some old friends from Ulysses but KBers were not much in evidence (Mad Duck and SpankMe being obvious exceptions).
Weather could have been worse...

[badlieutenant]

all i saw were heaps of riders and bikes. How do you tell whos a KB'r ?
