The Cruisy Wednesday Night Ride 2007/08

**Hitcher** · 19th September 2007, 21:52

Seven bikes tonight -- and oh what a cracking evening it was to be out on a motorcycle: No wind, warm, stars, half a moon and a flock of sheep. The Secret Seven rode the Wainui coast road and returned to the pleasant hostelry that is the Fireman's Arms in Petone. Good company, great food and a doddery old fart with Tourettes Syndrome (who wasn't a motorcyclist). If he's there next time we'll get him his own KB logon. He agrees that the fucken fuckers have fucked it and the fucken place has gone to the fucken dogs. And he has some interesting theories on other matters of national fucken importance.

Ah! Gutted! I was half thinking about it when leaving work, too.

D'oh!

T'was a night to remember indeed. Out on the south coast it was so still and quiet. We found a new venue too ... most excellent food and the entertainment was like nothing you'd find anywhere else. Hitcher, Buckbuck, Ocean1, Nasty, Grub, KarmakillerNZ and Weaver was a great group and I was so impressed with the two L-platers (Hyosung mounted) who had all the right and expensive gear. Way to go guys.

Was good to catch up with those I saw at the pond.

Was a great afternoon to ride the bike, I should skip work early more often

Yep, it was a great night alright. The Wainui coast was beautiful tonight - eerily quiet and still. Stayed for a short while and watched the planes come and go. Great choice for a destination.

It was also my first time out on the bike at night so it was a whole new experience... very exciting! It's a whole different ballgame at night. I'm looking forward to more like it.

And thanks to Nasty and Grub for escorting me half way home.

Oh, and that old fellow at the Fireman's Arms was a hoot. Knew every swear word in the book and had an opinion about everything. He'd fit right in here on KB...

Aaght!,
I really must get out on some of these Wed night rides

Fireman's Arms is great for food, especially the Pizza

What time did everything finish up?

*maybe* next week..

I didn't get there - AGAIN!! Can someone stop the world? I want to get off (the world that is ... not.... )

We packed out of the Fireman's at 21:10 because Karmakillernz and Weaver are on curfews. KkNz had to go all the way to Kapiti so it was a good call and it was about the right time anyways. What time did you get home KarmaK?

I'm sorry, but you probably wouldn't have been allowed. We already had a Yellow (and a Black) Hyosung ... could you swap yours for red perhaps?

I'm sure mine would be fine, it doesn't have all that extra plastic stuck to the sides

He was wonderful, the world has nowhere near enough lunatics and he made my day. I can think of nothing better to do with my dotage than lurking in my local bar haranguing all in sundry like some resident insane prophet. Shades of “Several species of small furry animals etc”. I regret not buying him a beer.

Believe I’ve fucken found my fucken true calling. I’m fucken off to the fucken pub to get some fucken serious fucken practice in eh?

Pity I couldn't make it to this ride. I must have eaten something that did wonders to my internals, and I didn't think the vibrations of a bike would help the situation. And I'm way past wearing nappies.....
