[Meanie]

Goodness next thing ya know FNRs will be organised and it'll be downhill from there

Im sure youll bring enough disrepute along with your old Hondas Bonez. Hell, we're depending on you of course

well if its going downhill then that helps the hondas get to the end doesnt it!!!???!

[NZsarge]

yes we thought we would leave Ashhusrt go through the gorge through woodville and make our way too dannievirke,think Sarge is keen too meet us in dannievirke for a change

Not this Friday nor the following, thanks for the consideration though.. Not doing the next 2 FNR's.

Was definitely missing the organization last season, need to get it back to how it was during the first season, they were good.

Hey I read some were on here some really important info from Al about how FNR's are to be run, but for the life of me I cannot find it, so Al can ya post it again or set up a link?
Just wanted to check I was doing things right, as been a suzuki ride we find that very hard to do!

Cheers mate











how does it go again AL, put it up again go on

[yod]

here it is.....

After a bit of feedback I'd like to say that EVERYONE except kawasaki riders are welcome on these rides as they are great fun and a really good way to kickback after a long week, have a good ride and talk crap with all other non-kawasaki riders.

Yes, they did get a bit quick for a while there so it ought to be noted that there should always be a group leader and a TEC to ensure the group doesn't get split up or anyone left behind. But since we won't have any kawasaki riders along, we shouldn't get lost anymore.

A preride brief should occur so everyone knows exactly what the route is to be. We may let a kawasaki rider come along to give the speech.

There is nothing wrong with people doing their own thing as long as it is done SAFELY, doesn't force us to ride with any kawasakis and doesn't interfere with others enjoyment of the ride.

Basically, lets try and keep it a group ride, that is where the real fun lies and everyone should feel free to provide input into the route and how the ride should be conducted

Hoy does that work for ya? Original post VVVVVVVVVV

I've just had to give Dog's his Triumph back but we thought it would be a great idea to get people out for a cruisy easy short ride on a Thursday or Friday night and end up at a cafe for coffee and a chat

So, ideas and sugestions welcome, the basic idea being a short, no pressure ride around some of the great back roads round here.

All experience levels catered for, it would be great to see some of the newer riders out there and a great chance to pick up tips and hints from the more experienced.

Rides would probably be no more than an hour or so and be home before dark.

So get posting with your ideas guys, now's the time for those warm balmy evenings which are so good on the bikes

Thats a sterling idea

And while on the topic of FNR's I think its a good time to reiterate a few words relating to the orginal intent of the ride.

Seriously though, might need to convey a few of these messages during the ride speech too so everyone knows what the deal is.

here it is.....

uhh, huh.. What? did you say something, don't understand Honda language.. oh well...

[86GSXR]

I think it might be easier to just ban all bikes from the FNR

[ynot slow]

And with long weekend starting the 4km tolerance is enforced till Tuesday,lucky it wasn't today lol.Mind you the weather was crap,both gloves soaked,thank god for BP coffee at Vegas.Think the swimming pool I left inside has subsided.

And slips starting to appear in gorge tonight,slippery surface.

[Punchy]

So much kwaka hate :-(

[ynot slow]

So much kwaka hate :-(

Nah also the odd 3 cylinder guys get upset as well lol,yours looks good,well did last week from behind,sounded fine.

[NZsarge]

So much kwaka hate :-(

Not really mate, they're just jealous and have difficulty hiding it so it surfaces through thinly veiled anti-Kawasaki comments.....

[SuperSonic]

So anyway, whats the plan for tonight, Over saddle, back roads to meat works, (sth Danvages) back roads to paihatua, over hill, back roads to balance, ash pub??

Anyone else, other ideas???
