Cruisy Night Rides

[Transalper]

Nobody has argued against, several have said sounds good, so I'm assuming that's the route....
up Dyers Pass to the top, turn right and regroup at Sign of Kiwi, then along Summit RD to Gebbies, then left down Gebbies, regroup if needed near Weatcheif and go around to finish at Diamond Harbour.

Well, what a turnout! That was grouse, really enjoyed it. Good on everyone for turning up, what a lot of new faces! Counted nearly 35 bikes before I got confused and wondered if I'd missed any out! And even then there were plenty of guys I know who didn't make it along to this one. Still, new record attendance, coolness.

Had a grin on my face the whole evening... and not just from the ride. For those of you who haven't seen it, here's the reason for all my grinning...

yeah mint summers ride in Canty aye
Right... you little shits that run well over the center line, dont farking do it
Leaning the body over isent even idle, but cutting it to the point were you are leaning over the grass on the other side of the rd is brain dead.

Ok so the excuss one of you gave me was "but I could see nothing was comming" Fuck sake... what about the oncommer you DONT see (how many times after a acco do you here 'but I didnt see you'
How about the jack arse behind you that is about to over take... not happy use ya mirrors aswell. How about the debris/hole in the rd that apaires in front of you... you now can only go to the left to avoid it... sort ya shits out people, Bad habbits hurt

Well done on and keep on smiling - I'm told that it just gets better from here on in.

It was a great ride tonight, and what a turnout - I wasn't sure what I was expecting but tonight was far better than I imagined. Thanks to all those who were supportive and patient with me as a slow but steady newcomer - I'm looking forward to getting out with you all again sometime soon! Good for the confidence.

Awesome ride guys. The biggest turnout yet. What a beautiful night it was too. Sitting on the grass at Godley House, very nice. Well done to the newer riders and was it me or was there alot of sportsbikes there tonight!?!

Yep good ride tonight, Not a bad place on a nice evening for a beer. Was tail end charlie on the way home for a while, saw a couple of mid corner "freezes" and a near miss with armco. Speed comes with time -ride within your ability, if the dude in front is going to fast , who cares.......Not cool picking bikes out of ditches.

I also came along, was on the green fxr, good ride, enjoyed my self a lot. Will be back next week, unless something else pops up.

Man am I glad I made tonights ride. Only just though.

Left KG Motorcycles at 6.36pm and thought I'd just swing by BK to see if anyone was still there as we generally have a habit of leaving late.

Not this time though. No one was there so I carried on down to Colombo and started heading for Dyers. Ran into the group while it was turning onto Colombo and I was at the lights. Only problem was that I had to stop for gas at Caltex so I lost the group again

All good though, caught up again while going along Summit Road.

It was a bloody good ride and it was great to see so many riders going though town together. It looked very impressive indeed. I dont think we could have picked a better night.

As for my bike, the stator is fixed. Now I just need to get a new clutch hub and clutch plates. The clutch used to drag. Now it doesnt. Its only got a tempory fix though as the hub is fucked and the plates are pretty worn.

Its weird getting used to a whole new clutch though. It was almost like riding a whole new bike. Hell I may as well have been. With the stator fixed the engine wasnt struggling to run like it would off the battery and I had a lot more power than I have gotten used to over the last 2000km.

Overall a very good night me thinks.

awesome ride, I felt a bit uncomfortable on the ride down the other side of summit road so took it super slow...

me and spuds headed over dyers pass and stopped to admire the sunset (wasn't it fucking excellent?) then headed to the twisted hop where we ran into phil garret (top bloke part owner of street and sport)

if I stepped over the white line it was on the first bit of the summit road where I couldn't see it (it was very faded...might write a letter to the council) as it wound along a straight...was sitting behind the yamaha cruiser.

yea it was a great ride, nearly killed myself on the way back, but thats half the fun!
Hope we get this good turnout every week during the christmas break.

After my wee speach mate... why does that not suprise me, you beter be taking the piss cos if you are serious with a comment like that... dont bother comming again

For those of you who let my earler post go in one ear and out the other... reflect back on this,
DSS and LB didnt die hitting head on cos they were both on the correct side of the center line

[who_me_33]

Also did anyone else notice that in quite a few places (coming down off the sumit road especially from memory) that there was lots of tar comming through. Is there anyone you can complain to about this, ideally someone who will listen, and do something about it.

I'm guessing you won't be quite so chirpy about that concept when you're on the side of the road inspecting pieces of your bones that were hitherto inside your skin
