BFTP - Blast From The Past Rides

[Dodgyiti]

Nice one again Ivor, of course we hold you fully responsible for every bit of gravel
Interesting for my first time on loose stuff with that bike, the changes I made really worked against me, a standard bike with standard wheelbase and tire sizes would have been way better.

If your interested how it came about, I blathered about it here:

The more I have seen, the more respect I have for the mighty Jap bikes of the '80s, the ones I had around those times were awful in the handling department- seems I picked the wrong models because my opinion has changed seeing them in 'action'

Anyways,
You guys are a good bunch to ride with, I only took 2 pics- the sky tells the story of what a nice day it was.

that's good to hear, mate
so, lets wait til that gravel clears up and have another go! - that'd be one of my favourite roads around here, btw
i think flyin'croc would be in agreement, too. eh, croc?

thanks for the pics jacko2 - we're all so pretty, aren't we?

Well we had Zukies, me old Jam jar, a Moto Guzi an a youngish but great looking and sounding Trumpy on Saturday,we also had a tag along Aprilla for a while,now theres a nice package!
Weather couldn't have been better, roads as always, bloody fantastic and even the metalled bits didn't give too many of us heart palpitations, cept maybe ol Michael.
Scenery and views spectacular to say the least.
Another brilliant day had by us all.
if you want to come on these rides folks you'd better start taking some notice of when and where and get your behinds on the bike seat and Ride!
Cheers psyguy another success, c u in a week, Oh, Ok , maybe 3 or so weeks aye.

your words, caseye... poetry


now, it's been suggested we should do a longer ride one day... maybe do the Coro loop

any keen riders?

[Dodgyiti]

Coro loop

any keen riders?

Sounds good, if I'm free on the day, for sure
Have to get an earlier start than 10 at Westgate, the motorway will already be a bit clogged with 'shoppers' (New Zealand's national pastime)

Now, where's a good place to stop?

[psyguy]

yea, an early start would be in order and meet up maybe on the southern m'way "autobahn" station

I could be interested. Things are quite busy work-wise at present, so it'd be a last-minute call for me. Disappointed I couldn't make it last weekend.

[caseye]

Sorry Croc! course I'm innerested!Count me as in, unless it's on the 6th of Dec.

[rogson]

Yep, I'm keen - but not many already committed weekend days before Xmas for me.
