Hey, you don't belong here... shoo!


The skipper has called off tonights race so if I get my bike back from service and the weather isn't too atrocious I might still come along.

Weather looks like shit.

[imdying]

If it's not actually raining, it'll be bitterly cold, I'm picking.

[phoenixgtr]

My moneys on no rain but bitter cold wind

[imdying]

What do I think of riding in the bitterly cold wind...
YOU'ALL WANT A SINGLE?

[uNople]

I'm going, had my htfu pill today.

[JMemonic]

Have a good ride all, I miss out

[Ghost_Bullet]

Out for tonight, not even sure about the next few weeks. Bugger

[Mikkel]

Will see y'all there!

[fireliv]

I'm bowing out tonight! Gives phoenix the chance to ride with the big boys/girls instead of babysitting me!

Have a good ride!

Great ride guys, great weather too I might add.
Started out a bit ragged with guys lane splitting, that's no way to keep a group together but once out of town I settled in and then eventually I hate to say proceeded to break a lot of my own self imposed rules.

For me the ride wasn't very cruisy, then it was, then it wasn't and finally it was again.

We went out to Halswell and topped up the tanks then out Old Tai Tapu Rd and Gebbies Pass to the Wheatsheaf.
After a stop in there we followed the bays to Lyttelton and promptly just about run in to a car stopped in the middle of the road on a blind bend with yellow no stopping lines everywhere on Evans Pass.
Then down in to Sumner and toward Ferrymead with a small detour around Mc Cormacks Bay Rd and up Mt Pleasant way with more nice views on the way down to finish at the very expensive bar in Humphreys Drive.

I have checked some of the tape and looks like there's some good video on there, especially after the camera angle adjustment made at the Wheatsheaf.
I look forward to getting it on YouTube.

Cheers
TA.

...promptly just about run in to a car stopped in the middle of the road on a blind bend with yellow no stopping lines everywhere on Evans Pass.

That was absolute madness... almost thought we'd have a bit of biker imposed justice, all stop, get off, and go "have a word" with said complete plonker. I was honking around that corner doing about 70, and there's that bloody idiot in his home resprayed car right in my path... as he was for everyone following me. Lucky there wasn't something coming the other way or I'd have had nowhere to go!

Other than that it was a good ride. Bloody expensive drinks at that pub at the end though, whatever the hell it was called...

"Cruisy" was well and truly lost from the title last night, but we had no newbies so I think everyone was ok. I have to admit I enjoyed myself

The beast is handling a bit better now. I just have to work on getting my confidence back up

I still rate myself as such... but yeah it was fun!

And yeah that fucker in the car up towards Evans... *sigh*
I was so pissed off - coming around the corner as the first guy, swerving around the car and then just thinking "Nothing I can do to let the others know what they're coming up to!" Glad to see that everyone managed to get out of that ok!

And yeah, the Watershed is not exactly cheap(it is nice though). We might wanna have a look around for a cheaper bar.

And Transalper - the bar at Gebbie's is Wheatsheaf if you want the spelling
