I am still waiting on a few more photos to be posted from our AGM. Where you go Isaac? we lost you on the motorway. We were meeting at Motomail Outlet in Western Springs.

I dunno, just got on the motorway... You said Kingsland, not Western springs! Anyway, it was raining so I went home. Buy anything?

Well i think the group spent altogether $300 worth of bike gears. Squiggles and I saw a universal bike jack for $99 bucks. Wonder did he buy it. Heaps of RJay bike pants for $109 bucks. Dan was interested in the RJay leather jacket you have. Do you still know the supplier that sold you your jacket Isaac?

**Macstar** · 30th September 2007, 19:39

The guy I used to buy from has left, when I went out there 2 weeks ago to buy the matching Rjays leather pants a new guy quoted me $190!!!! So i politely said no thanks and left. There are Rjays sellers on TM selling cheaper than him.

Was this one of the photos you were waiting for, Kim?

You look so fetching in pink

Good to meet you all today -

I thought we lost a few on the way to MMoutlet - there's 2 ways to go from WildWest, either down m/way and looping back from the Pt Chev offramp, or along New North Rd where I led a gaggle of bikes.

FXRs SUCK for leading people as the mirrors are painfully crap...

Didn't get too far on our 3 man Huia expedition - made it as far as Laingholm, but it was persisting down in the Waitakeres with no sign of let up, and gear was hinting at impending leaks, so the expedition was aborted about half-way to the destination.

To the Bandit 250 fellas - will burn off a couple of copies of the Owner's manual I scanned when I had my Bandit. Will tuck under the seat for the next time I see you...

Haha I am pretty sure I was wearing a black Shoei helmet. I think you must have done a bit of photoshop.....told you I was having fun at the AGM. I think I should ask Don for a part time job there.

i need a camera/video recorder with an AV line IN, so i can hook up a bullet cam on my bike/helmet and have video of all our rides (on and off the road, so needs to be robust, cheap, and preferably waterproof)

ZOMG! My worlds are colliding! I now have an association -- face and real-world persona, and KB persona. They have merged! I know who you are now

The FXR threw me. I should've guessed from the Bandit talk.

Yeah it did get particularly poor, the weather. At least we tried to get to Huia, unlike the rest of you lazy girly bikers

It was very slippery coming down the first sealed section of Huia Rd; my back wheel was locking under compression when I banged down gears, and I was very nervous about pushing the front. I enjoy riding in rain, but perhaps because of the great weather yesterday there seemed even less grip than usual.

**motorbyclist** · 1st October 2007, 00:08

i didn't have many grip problems, and wasn't intending to have any either...

the only slip i had was on the return, up the hill. exiting a corner my front wheel just skated along a tar ribbon

man it annoys me when they fix cracks in the road by filling it with tar rather than fixing the underlying problem. it may be cheaper but they end up fixing it properly eventually, and it's bloody dangerous. (that said, most of the corners have very nice seal around there, but it's all smooth and no chip, so in the wet it isn't encouraging)
