Evening newbie rides?

**ital916** · 9th November 2007, 07:07

Hey guys, the names D. I just got my bike and was interested in joining the Auck uni MC, just wondering how i go about doing that? Also if anyone is keen on some sedate evening rides around auckland? I a newbie so am still pretty nervous.I work from nine to five thirty but the suns setting pretty late so i reckon evening would still be pretty light. I live in remuera so if anyones close by and wants to cruise i'm always up for it. Oh and i'm a bit nervous about riding again cos i dropped my bike yesterday

*chalk it up to a learning experience*, it's got a vicious back break ask kyle haha. So any braking tips would be well appreciated. Hope to ride with you guys soon.

Peace out and ride safe

Hi D,
I'm over in Mt Eden and keen to go riding!
Squiggles is the president of the Uni Bikes Club, he is in Epsom so not too far away either.
Drop him a PM and I'm sure he would be happy to come out with you too and give you some tips (He's the one who taught me to ride).
Hope to see you soon, and sunny side up,
Hanne

Hey "D" This aint CBR David reinventing himself is it? Just kidding mate...

I'm not sure how to join the club, I've been an unofficial member for 6 months now. My unofficial status hasn't stopped me for joining and organising SMC club rides though! Probably give Bomma or Squiggles a PM.

As for rides, yep always keen - evenings are sweet for me. In fact, riding with other bikers is probably the best way to build your skills up quickly as you can follow their lines through corners, see what speed to go and watch when they brake / accelerate etc.

What bike have you got?

There is also the mentor ride on a Wednesday (?) evening, but if you need peeps to ride with, a quick post will invigorate some action...

i havent officially joined either but i like hanging out with these guys so here i am.

i am always keen for a nana ride, i am in epsom too so just about your neck of woods. problem being there aint much good roads smack bang in the middle of dork-land

Just gimme $3 bucks and you are an official member. lol I live in Remuera too D. If you see a blue/yellow/white Fireblade 929 that would be me.

Are you the person who has a RG150? Someone was telling me this yesterday.

Hey guys, nice to meet you all. How does monday evening sound (12th)? I'm kinda nervous after my fall but i'm keen to get straight back on. I ride a RG150, it's a great bike but pretty high strung haha i've been riding about four days so i'm not great. I'll give squiggles a pm and try organise a ride. Yeah there aren't too many roads in rem but if there are a few of us i'm sure we can ride out a bit cos i won't be afraid of stalling and the such (shame i know, plus my bike s a kick start so it's a pain in the ass).

hey KL yeah i have the RG, she's super mint even after the fall. I love her to bits i guess it's just first bike infatuation haha. She's a pain to learn to take off in...i gotta work on my clutch control.

**Squiggles** · 9th November 2007, 08:54

Yes great bikes that was my first bike too (sorry all I know my first bike was not a Honda). Well normally I ride to Mission Bay then all along Quay St. TUrn into and ride up Queen St then motorway back to Remuera off-ramp a good 30-40 mins ride. PM me your number and we can meet up for a ride like that.

It wasnt me honest

I am innocent. . As the committee know I did not want the treasurer role. If I was the treasurer you guys aint getting any money from me cos I will be investing it.

What trade Ehab?

You wanna trade your GSX250 for my Spidi jacket?or you wanna trap 4 late model GSX for my Fireblade?
