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

[Owl]

If you can set it up mate , i'll allow you the ultimate pleasure of being the first person to throw me out of a perfectly good aircraft

I've been out of the scene so long now Bill, I'd probably have to join you in the newbie camp. Watching first jumpers exit is a lot of fun though!

I should also add, in my experience there's no such thing as a perfectly good aircraft. They always have a gaping big hole in the side!

I'm still not 50,

Nor am I yet Just look it.........

I'm still not 50, .... my interest in parachutes!

As far as I'm concerned age stops at 49. Jumping out of a perfectly good plan scares the *#%) out of me. Now bungying I could handle. I'm still building up to ride in the crap weather at night.

What about Feilding riders meet as a group next Friday then head out. There are some more newbies interested.

[ynot slow]

Brilliant turn out! Great to see so many Triumphs, oh the class, the class

Get back to reality and look at the 2 real bikes you DON'T RIDE lucky bugger.

Have an inkling I'd try doing a parachute jump,but definately a tandem,that way if ya freeze on jump time with a tandem ya just have to go lol.Bungy is so so,whitewater rafting that is bloody great especially grade 5 like Rangitikei river was graded years ago.

Nah i'd do the full newbie camp and jump alone, freezing's fine they have hammers for smashing ya fingers to make ya let go ! Tandems too (give over controll) for me and it just looks gay ! Static for the first couple, freefall for the next 150 odd, then find the biggest mother fuckin cliff face to run and jump off !

[KiwiKat]

I'll yell jump and swing the hammer

For a one off jump, tandem is probably the way to go!

Don't know bout balls ! They shrink a bit over the years ya know, but scarin is what i want !
Made a resolution a few years back (call it a bucket list) to start doin shit that scares me !
Went straight to pram airport to see about jumpin (didn't realise they'd stopped it at that field years ago) and got talking to this young bloke who said have ya ever tried aerobatics ? lol like nah (took him an hour to get my lips poking out the quaterlight) wasn't the g's or loopdiloops that got me, was when he took me inland and did some top dressin (was the field he was gonna get into) Green i went !

[Bonez]

That's alright mate. Been feeling like 70 odd this last week.

[Owl]

Green i went !

Like that? I'm not sure, but I think Masterton or Dannevirke would be the closest to you.

Bloody good turn out considering the weather
Just a side note Dogsnbikes binned on his way home last night. He and Phoebe are ok. He dropped it about a k from his place and managed to get the bike home, then drove themselves to hospital. Heard from him this morning about 5.45 just as they were relaesed. No broken bones, just very tender. Ill pop out and see him tonight or tomorrow morning to see how he is
Gutted no doubt as i think the bike came off second best
