Manawatu Friday Night Ride. (Be there or be in the square).

[cowboyz]

Wish I had a bike..and a license..am I allowed to post this here?

that depends on if you are cool or not.

Hope you all have a good ride tonight,weather looks great and i'm still trying to get my electric problems sorted. Push starting just not on.

It not like its a concours. Pushing cant be that bad.

I'm out - man-flu

Harden up. You missed a minta.

set off out to meet you lot tonight ,turned left just before gorge/bridge from aokautere and got nicked for failing to stop at that f**king junctionwas very polite to the orifice but it was fri 13th and quota filling time,so nice present in post(any idea how much$$?)
needless to say i was not in the correct frame of mind to ride my bike sensibly after that so am now getting pissed

That sucks. $150 from memory. But thanks for keeping Mr Police busy. You should have bribed him with donuts. Its a fail-safe way to get out of a ticket.

Awsome ride chaps and chapesses. Nibbles and a natter at Murry's topped it off.

Just one thing to remember-we are all riding as group and setting an example for other riders, some new to riding. Dodgy overtaking of cars( i know we've all done it at some point) is not cool and the last thing we want on a group ride is to scrape someone off the road.

Reminder - KKs ride from Feilding on Sunday. Have a good weekend all.

Yep. Awesome ride tonight. Vhill was awesome. Mrs C enjoyed the back of the 9 with new tyres on. Got to see the sports mode on the sport-tourer that is the concours. Pilot Road 2s see another happy camper!

from what I recall, you were there at the start and there at the end. That seems to indicate that you kept up just fine.

Nice to meet new people tonight. Really nice ride.

Really good to be out with such a good bunch. Great to see some new faces out there enjoying themselves. I had a most interesting perspective from the rear seat and it was cool to be there. Nice relaxed catch up at Murrays and good to see people linger. We shot into town for a caffeine fix, and guess what. I drove all the way home from town The hand held up very well, only problem was it got a bit but the mangrips were superb!

Blacksheep - bummer! Man that must have been aggravating, know how you feel

Shake that cold BR, don't you have a wee ride soon?

Bummer man, tell those guy in town to pull there finger out and get it sorted! Pity you missed the ride last night, twas a pearler.

Mate that sucks, would have been awesome to see out there too, classing up the ride with all that Yamaha goodness.... Oh, and your good self too.. Try again next week mate, unless you feel like a ride sunday...?

that sucks...had the same thing turning from te matai onto napier rd a while back, he didn't seem to care that I'd slowed to about 3kmh and there wasn't an oncoming car for miles

Missed ya out there Yod, V.Hill was outstanding as usual, in great nick, with great weather if slightly on the chilly side.

Indeed that's a nice view, good to meet you, don't hesitate to show up next friday.

but the mangrips were superb!

Indeed, deployed mine tonight too, lets just say the grass will be crispy this morning.

[blacksheep]

yeah same scenario for me too yod,said i was concentrating on seeing wether there was any oncoming traffic to give wat to as opposed to looking at colour of lines on road(do you know if you incur any de-meruts to go along with the road tax?)

looks like you lot had a good one too,it would have been just what doc ordered,seemed to amuse mrs blacksheep who was pillion at time,first ticket since 1986!so not bad going i suppose.

That sucks mate, pity you didnt carry on we had a great ride, you may have even been able to have a chat with the other just before Hunterville

Nice to catch up with everyone on the ride and all the new faces. Got out the good camera only to find the battery going flat.

Like the last photo, didnt even see you on the side of the road

Awesome ride Took one of the lads out who comented that he didnt think i was riding very fast over Halcome hill, Viniger hill and Pilot road 2ct,s sorted that. Was realy nice to see and meet some new riders to the group. Some nice looking bikes apearing out of the woodwork. Bonez is right, everyone needs to be responsable for thier riding and making sure that they dont put thiers or anyone elses lives at risk. Ego costs valuable lives. And FFS remeber you are riding in a group when attempting to pass. Idiots will not be tolerated and will be told to stay away next time Rant over
Same time next week, have a good one all

Nice mix of sympathy and HTFU eh? Some of you suck less than others!

Glad I got the cold this week - don't mind missing the Friday night ride but can't think of anything that's gonna stop me doing the SC!

[oscarnz]

Awesome ride last night, totally what I needed.
Great to see new faces.

Only 8 sleeps to go
