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

[banditrider]

Thanks everyone. And Owl, hope that ute never has to leave the shed!

[road king]

nooooo, not the firestorm!!! glad to here you didn't do yourself to much damage BR

hopefully the red beast wont be off the road for to long

[SuperSonic]

Ok, so it's been a few days now and everyone has been nice and quiet, so it's time to spill...

I turfed my little red bike down the road after the Friday nite ride. No, it hadn't been naughty and didn't deserve it but I did it anyway...

Basically I took off from the pub on the back wheel, landed it and then when braking for the corner the front went out from under me on some slippery/hot tar (I actually thought at first that it was metal on the road but Sonic went back and saw a skid in the tar).

I landed reasonably hard and got to watch the bike sliding away down the road as I chased it on my butt. No significant injuries to me although my mouse thumb is still annoyingly sore and there's still a bit of a bruise on my thigh. I was wearing my Spidi pants over shorts and my crappy old Nasran jacket. Both saved my skin but are pretty 2nd hand - any offers?

The bike is a little worse for wear - see below.

Big thanks to Sonic for racing over to see if I was ok and a huge thanks to Meanie and Sarge for helping me get the red beast home!

Don't be as stupid as me!

No worries mate just wished our crap roads where not bike killers, it was kind of unreal watching seeing the cool wheelstand then not really beleaving my eyes seeing you and bike on the ground the next min.

And this is why wheelies are bad. Who does that sort of thing anyways?...

[Flynn]

Cowboyz said to leave the wheelies to the professionals, that's why I never bother, for me they only happen by accident

[SuperSonic]

Right so the wheel thing is over and out now, it's like so last week! Now this week any ideas?? Kind of like the idea of heading east. Have not been that way for a while.

[Meanie]

ooo bugger

mate, by all means, treat the kwaka like shit, but NOT THE HONDA!!!

Ooooh you nasty little bugger

Andrew it wasnt a problem and like Owl i dont have a problem picking up stranded bikers with my ute
