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

[banditrider]

God what are you guys doing, we have never had bins on the FNR before.
It's suppose to be a casual wind down ride after a week of work.

Maybe I should come and give you the Mother speak
Nah just jokes, but will be along hopefully this Friday coming

this falling off business just has to stop!

Mate! Those short cuts are not mint! At least you're still around to post about it dude, bikes can be fixed or replaced, people can't be replaced.

Damn straight. No more bins thanks. And none of the below either!

sorry to hear bout your off sparkles, your first one?

FFS!!!!!!!!!

2 weeks in a row? Ok last week was a minor but this is very rapidly becoming unacceptable. The Friday night ride was created as a wind down to the end fo the week and where everyone could relax and ride their own ride.

this falling off business just has to stop!

do ya want a vt250 pace bike next week? Ill keep them speeds nice and safe

[cowboyz]

speed and danger do not go hand in hand. one doesnt directly relate to the other. I wont be at any more fri night rides cause I working nights now but there a a few of us who have been here since the beginning and would hate to see fri night ride get a repuatation that is just doesnt deserve.

It is a newbie friendly social ride where everyone keeps in their comfort zone and rides at the pace they feel comfortable with. The only thing thats not allow is falling off.

Sorry to hear about ya little miss hap Sparkie, not good, could havesold ya a mint gxs 250 a while ago, might be safer if ya buy me swift instead, at least it's a suzi

LATEST WEATHER UPDATE:

Heavy showers and lightening and thunder predicted for Manawatuat about 6pm til 10 pm. Gale force winds to 200 km/hour.It is advised that all motorcyclists lock their motorcycles in the garage and stay indoors, as they have not yet payed enough ACC levies to warrant a ride in such conditions.






Rant over, oops wrong thread, piss off

Still no bike huh

Pleased your ok sparles, unfortunatly it happens to most of us when we start riding. Normaly a great reality check
I am a bit concerned with the amount of accidents on the fnr as well, like cowboyz has stated we started this ride as an easy ride to finish the week off and enable us all to have a regular catch up. My suggestion is leave the testosterone at home if you are a little competative when you ride and ride to live.
Lets be a bit more carefull out there, life is short enough as it is

[ynot slow]

Had a few speedsters on Taranaki rides which were Tuesday night rides,went on one,and never again,when you see a guy pass 5 bikes on yellow lines and just(and was just)miss being a bonnet emblem on a Mack truck as he went round a corner.Was ok but 2 or 3 of us were just pssed and right in the line of crash had it happened.

Just slow down a bit guys,sure at the end of the week you can be either knackered mentally and brain fade kicks in,or just stuffed,no need to hoon off with the fast guys,mind you the straights are good if ya can tuck in behind them,they get caught first.

I suggest a Friday ride meeting at Takapau intersection about 6.00pm,heading into town.

He he, I don't see that one happening Tony..

[ynot slow]

Was thinking about maybe organising a cafe/bar to meet at after the rides on Friday.Somewhere that if you're unable to get on the ride can have a coffee or beer with any crew not heading home.Might be about 8.00 ish or so depending on ride length.Or a finishing spot to end the ride and grab a feed and drink.

Maybe Speights bar,Cuba,Aqaba,Barista(open till midnight),Rexs as example,or anyone have a favorite.Needs to have enough room if a few stay on.

Worth a crack,will enjoy the ride home hit middle road,and other ones to explore.

By some freakish coincidence I'll be in Havelock North next weekend... with bike... and time to spare on Sat arvo

I've just skimmed several pages of the HB BIKOI thread Yungatart can you point me to the post with the details? Where is Anderson Park?

[yungatart]

Post is the first one in HB Bikeoi thread I think...not good at the linky thing, but will get Mstrs on to that for you
Anderson Park is in Kennedy Rd, Greenmeadows (between Taradale and town) across from the ambulance station.
If you come in on HW 2, go over the first overbridge and take a left just before the second, stay on that road...you will see us!
Will get Mstrs to post a map for you too, eh?
Thanks heaps!
