    Hamilton

    there hasn't been much organised for riding in Hamilton for while has there, I guess there too busy getting their new web site up and running.
    But I have been on a couple good rides in a groups catering for smaller bikes and new riders. And the wiakato has some great roads close to Hamilton

    I'm a nana on my 1200, so I don't mind pacing it with 250's
    Lifes Just one big ride - buckle up or hang on

    Yip

    I know how you feel.
    I got left behind for the first time ever and really didn't like it much. It's not that I don't like riding by myself because I love it...it's that if you go out with a group you at least want to be able to see someone-line of sight type of thing. I was so far behind I actually thought I had gone the wrong way!! Soon found a few faithful friends waiting for me-just as well they couldn't see me blushing under my helmet I guess.

    Think I will cruise myself for a bit until I get a bigger bike-although I don't want to go `fast', it would be nice to be able to overtake safely with the group.

    Oh dear, another sad little post from the man who thinks sarcasm is wit.

    Whose getting a new website up and running???? Sounds like there's quite a few Hamiltonians out there looking to meet up with others and do the leisurely ride thing. Count me in that group too. Name the place the time or whatever and arrange the weather and I'm in!!!

Always like talking to people about their bikes etc and I ride for the pleasure not always the speed. Actually my wife (pillion) is the one who always wants to go faster.

    cheers and beers
    Cheerz man, thats great advice, will keep you in mind

    I would like to get the restricted first (in the next few weeks)... i have this annoying habit of getting caught EVERY time i break the rules. sigh!

    Talking

    Whose out for a ride tomorrow (Sunday). I'm heading to Pirongia for lunchtime coffee. Great place to meet other bikers. Don't go to Raglan tomorrow as all the crazy rally cagers will be doing their rally stuff on the roads.

    Thought I might then head back via back of Mystery Creek to Cambridge and have a look at the biker friendly bar RPM something in Empire street (I think) and then backroad back through past Morrinsville.

    See you on the roads

    Have a great day riding in the Tron and may the force be with you all
