BFTP - Blast From The Past Rides

[psyguy]

Don't think I can make this one... Got a guy coming around for a new set of carbs and boots for his 650 and I've offered to tune them for him.

i know i know, you dont like it if it's not raining cats and dogs

seriously though, ask the guy along for the ride and do the tune later/earlier on if that might be possible at all

[gammaguy]

BASTARDS!hope you all have a horrible time cos i can t go

maybe next time(there will be another time right?)

[psyguy]

If my junior is not deciding to pop up tomorrow (my wife is in the final stage of the pregnancy), I’m in. Hope is not a problem if my bike is 86 not 85 but … is an early 86… hehehehhhehe

We're going to miss that FJ Alive! Never mind mate, we do these things and make the big sacrifices for our mates, good for you.We'll see you nect time i'm sure.
For all those who don't come along, Pity, these rides are good clean(must be clean, we always have so much water) fun!
C ewe at 11 guys.

yeah, very true caseye, last time i didnt have to wash the bike off after the ride at all, it was so clean from all that rain - in your average rain/shower the bike always gets a grey-ish film thats not so easy to wipe off - but the last time i guess the roads didnt stand a chance getting dirty because of the quantity of fresh waters from the sky
the same with my jacket, all very clean, the reflective stripes all bright again...

[xwhatsit]

Wicked, I finally get to make it to one of these. If you could just drop some white pebbles behind you as you go so I know which turnoffs to take that would be grouse

See you chaps tomorrow.

[psyguy]

no rain this morning??? weird

[SeppoDave]

Thanks guys, what a day!

I had a great time, and it was a pleasure to meet you all.

Here are some photos...

Great pics Dave, shes a nice one that little ol 750 of yours.A pleasure to ride with you, watch that grippy clutch though aye, we nearly were both riding the same bike,LOL!
Ivor, as always mate a beaut ride, destination different and awesome to view, cheers mate.
To those who missed it, we had a Blast.
Harley anyone? he he he, Mehigh, nice meeting you too man, and I hope the bubba and mum are fine when the time comes.

[xwhatsit]

Cheers guys! Enjoyed that a lot. Had me worried there for a second (well actually I waited almost 10 minutes before I turned around and went back) at that Riverhead/Waitakere turnoff, but at least it was just a mechanical problem the Harley had, not something worse.

Great to meet you all -- some lovely machines out there. The two air-heads in particular caught my eye Thanks for the ride!
