Cruisy Night Rides

[NiggleC]

Like any group ride there is a quicker group at the front and a more relaxed group following along. Take your pick - we all have a good time.

Exactly. Ride at your own pace.

Thats the important thing. Never feel like you have to keep up with the fast guys at the front, especially if you're not up to it. And on the other hand, don't feel like you have to "cruise" along with the slower guys. As long as you know where you're going theres no reason why you can't get there before the rest of us. Just don't do any stupid shit that would endanger anyone and everyones happy.

Well you are a chick. I wouldn't expect anything less

sounds like i missed a great ride but unfortunately i had to shift house- although it was a tuff choice between being homeless for a night or going for a ride i realised if i was homeless then so was my bike and i didnt want it being attacked by nature overnight


cheers to transalp for posting the vid of the ride the other week

Thanks everyone, I enjoyed doing it. If people are keen and ya ask nicely I'll bring the camera out to play again sometime... when I get some more blank tape.
If some one has some more specific ideas on what to record on a ride I'm open to suggestion on that too. Most of what I do is just done on the fly, it's a bit hard to plan ahead as everyone is busy doing there own thing.
I would however like to sometime do a tank or handlebar mounted recording sometime, and a backward facing one too. Maybe I should come out and play more often. Problem is I can record a two hour tape in two hours, but it can take a month of my could be out riding time to cut it down in to a watchable video.

Liked the video. Reckon I would probably get my arse kicked - big time!

If by that you mean you think you won't keep up, there are usually more slower riders and some slower bikes than fast ones, I spent half the video chasing a couple of the faster guys.

No slow rider should have second thoughts on coming along, it's for them to mix and learn that the ride was intended.
I reckon you should come along and say hello, I'll be there again this week, no camera this round.
I'm going to hang with the man on the NZ250 this round if he shows up, we'll be focused on riding smooth more than speed, and my partner is talking about tagging along on her next free Wednesday evening too.

i wont be along again...fxr needs fork seals replaced (onces gone) so im taking it super easy and that gets done thursday.

[helenoftroy]

Cant make it this week but hopefully Casualty will come.

Would be good for him to follow others - maybe some new roads we have'nt been on yet....hes got his favorites already tho(Evans Pass is one)

He has'nt finished his exams yet tho

A little birdy told me the infamous bugger should be there this week, provided the weather doesn't get in the way!

Booked my full licence test on Friday... it's on the morning of the 5th of December, earliest I could get it. They were trying to say the 17th was the earliest, bah, wait another month?! Argh!

Everyone have a good weekend? I did, was on a weekend away in the Marlborough Sounds. Very nice, though too bloody hot for me! Scooped the nation's high the three days I was there, over 30 yesterday!

Oh my god!! Hes actually going to be there!?

Happy Birthday for Friday mate.


Blue Meanie. You'll be fine mate. Alot of the people that turn up are on 250s and we'll never let anyone get left behind

Those of you who have been looking at and thinking of doing a twin passes kind of ride might like to have a peak at this post to get an idea of distance/time for a 550km run at nice ticket safe speeds.

Weather looks good for Wednesday so far, see you then. Don't suppose you'd want to push on to Duvauchelle or something?.

[phoenixgtr]

Duvachelle could be a go. I've been thinking about it for a couple of weeks now. We would get back quite late

[Transalper]

Wear your clear visors and don't stop for too long before heading back.
It's still only about an hour and 10 to 20 minutes each way from BK.
Diamond Harbour via Evans pass is claimed 1 hour 10 minutes.
(all times approximated by google maps of course)
What's the licence restrictions now days for them not on a full? 10pm I think, should be getting home closer to 9:30pm.
