First AKL monthly meet for '05

[Mr Skid]

Hey guys John got home and told me what a good ride he just had.
it seems there were about 15 bikes on the ride including a father/son combination on a bandit 250 and a GSX1400 -
Good riding on the way out to the Fish and chip place at maraitai.
Aparently Aff man had a bit of a job catching up to John on his ancient XJ900
Bet ya diddnt know a pathetic 75hp beast could hussle so well aff man lol

Hey, bloody nice of ya to lend the xj to your brother as well as your son for the ride. Rather sporting of ya.

Tell ya what though, you're going to have to have a talk to baby bikie about not touching bits on the bike - John went past me at one point, and the little critter on the back must have been pushing down on the center stand, there were sparks everwhere!

Shit Crashe that was my Fault. When we got to the first roundabout I did a head count and we had the correct number of bikes UM ya see we caught up with two blokes out for a ride on their own -I counted heads and got the correct number so carried on--Shit.
Baby bikie was asleep behind me so I came straight home ...

No worries Frosty, seeing as you weren't really there, it can't have been your fault eh? .
I don't mind too much getting left behind/lost anyway, I'm kinda used to it now...

Anyway, it was a pleasant ride and was good to meet a few new people (sorry to those I didn't introduce myself to).

I've gotta admit, I was kinda hoping for more shenanigans, but it was fun anyway. Motoracer, you did some good rolling stoppies there

Baaaaa 75hp that explains it hahahahaha. Hmmmm need to get some practice in... that was the first ride i have done in absolutley bloody ages. Oh well hopefully the next one will be on a 6 hundy . Wheelies under power here i come yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[bugjuice]

Shit.... that could be rather dangerous....

actually looked bloody good (not that it should be condoned. If Frosty was around.... tut tut..) but he wasn't, and the sparks looked cool in the evening dusk.. Next time, I'll have to be closer behind, see how cool that looks!

[avgas]

You did it on an aproach to a roundabout while following Drunken monkey. Thought "Here we go" for a moment, but I was in other wheel track, and you recovered fine. Relax a bit more, and give yourself a bit more space in front of you and you'll be fine.

Yeah you dont have to worry bout me recovering, used to be a bit of a bike drifter on a Cafe' Racer, as long as i dont loose the front (on a corner), im usually sweet as.
Hey Frosty, lookie what i found:
XJ matey, its all good for more
Last few rides i was on, were teaching my mates how to ride, so the poor bike wasnt used to me (or vice versa), but was sweet comming home.

[FROSTY:Me]

yea 75 to your 60 and 250kg to your 140kg --Im told john offered to swap and ya wouldnt have a bar of it lol
I wonder if Baby bike got his knee down on them corners

Actually the zxr weighs 172kg dry. Anf i thought it was dave that must have been tony's other brother. Yeh he offered me a ride but when the bike weighs more than 4 times your weight and is more than 20 years old i don't think i want ro risk it hahahahahahahaha...... Of course if it had been a new 600...... well judgment call

[avgas]

Ahhhhhhhh work. Just what i need, yeah right.
Did anyone on the ride have a radar going?
Dont look so flash for the dragwars either, hope it clears up.
If not then i have some fairings sitting in my shed that need a respray, so theres always something fun to do.
Mabey i should reincarnate one of the old XS850's for the next ride

[blownae92]

Great ride...actually considered turning around at he 1st petrol stop due to the pace, but with a few words from Frosty decided to keep going....pity I could'nt ride back with the rest, due to time constraints....but good trip on the whole
