No I didn't enjoy the ride. After 10 mins of it starting the bastard bolt that holds my gear lever fell off and I was left stuck in 4th or something gear, I had to leave the group and miss out on the

Whens the next KB ride?

What you doing tomorrow?

I'll be out somewhere as soon as I can figure out a place to ride to.

Can somebody please recommend some place to ride to? Ahhh... I'll start another thread

You still had the ride up there and meeting everybody. But i can see how that would suck. Did you atleast get to partake of the BBQ at Quasi's?

**MadDuck** · 30th January 2005, 18:58

and everyone else (Enigma, Hoon, TS, Saslex) who helped out to manage a day without incident considering how many bikes where there that is an awesome achievement. I didnt stay around for the BBQ as I had a 2 hour ride to get home and thought there may have just been a few too many of us for Brets neighbours to cope with

After today I have decided that speed isnt everything and its about getting out there and meeting new people and going new places...the more I ride the better I will get - TRUELY!. As I was having a relaxing potter and these guys were flying past I am in awe at the skill.

Thank you to the poor fella that had to give me a push up cos my short ass legs couldnt get the bike upright...now that was kinda embarrassing

Nope, had no idea where the BBQ was..........and dumb me forgot to get cell phone numbers

I was with the group for around 10 mins only.

Once I found a bolt I went for a ride to Raglan and back

**Waylander** · 30th January 2005, 19:06

Wish i had known yall were gonna go to raglan. I might have been able to meet you at the turn off from the thermal explorer motorway.

Yes, oh well.....

Can you recommend some other routes? Anything considered.

**sAsLEX** · 30th January 2005, 19:08

well a long hot day, I came back slow as due to the bike slipping around a fair bit, and when I tried to give it a bit I had the back end whip out on a tar snake! Had a good run north into ngarawahia with the guys on the bigger bikes but then the road turned to average!

Cheers to Bret for the barbie and vid!!

ps that was some shady splitting there aye ts!

pps at bombay my bike lost all electrics, there was nothing alive in the bike after backing it from the pump to infront of the store. checked fuses battery everything couldn't find fault, then TS just pushed it forward a foot or two and it was as though it never had the problem..... weird, maybe bikes dont like going back wards?

Na man sorry i havnt been in country long enough to know the routes around that well. Part of the reason why i want to go on some of these rides.

**Arven** · 30th January 2005, 20:05

Yep! I will say thanks to everyone orginising and all. I had the best time! Learning lots of new skills and meeting some cool guys!

That slippery Tar and gravel patches almost made me wet myself a few times! Had a few hairy moments! But everything turned out OK!
