[homer]

let me just hope to fin early next week, may get along

[gammaguy]

great ride!

the RG cooked my butt,but i loved it!(im sick like that)

nice to meet a few old and new faces too!

[stanleychung]

If you would like, you can follow along behing me next week, our bikes actually have similar ability, you might find the Suzuki to be a bit faster in the corners, your cornering was quite good you just have to pick the pace up a bit in the straights.

Thanks for that Flip I might just follow you next time. Its a lot easier for me to follow someone

YAY I'm excited...except that I might not make it...... but does a 1 year old nephew really care if I am at his birthday???

He doesn't care as long as you fly in making a huge amount of "look at me" noise, (looking like a biker is fine) give him a small gift, a couple of nice words about how well he is doing, and a hug.

The same will go for his 21st ... start out like you mean to go on.

missing you Helen!

Hows it going everyone? i hope you all had a good xmas and new year. see you all on wednesday (if the bike starts)
Actually while im thinking about it, ive got a ZXR250c that wont rev out, she redlines at 19,000 but i cant seem to get her much over 15,000-16,000, and ive just had new piston rings, new gaskets, and a valve grind done but still no better. Can anyone help??

[Flip]

How dirty or old is the air cleaner?

[imdying]

Make sure it isn't over filled with oil. I rode one with a litre too much, even hammering down through the box wouldn't get it over 10000rpm

[Oakie]

see you all on wednesday (if the bike starts)

Wasn't the green and white one I saw trying to be crash started near Centaurus Road this morning was it?

[Dave-]

Wasn't the green and white one I saw trying to be crash started near Centaurus Road this morning was it?

wasnt the green blue and white one I saw turning on to moorehouse from lincoln this afternoon was it?

it might've been an A model....

but go go the '91 250c, best 250 ever.

[McWild]

Won't be along this week either due to bike fixing and work, but all things going well I shall be there this coming week. So try not to have too much fun.

And you can always get the ride to park up outside the window of St Martins New World, if you should feel so compelled. No, really, I won't mind!

[homer]

wheres the ride heading to this week?
any plans as yet

[phoenixgtr]

We have something in the works. I've been too lazy to sort out all the routes but a route and map will be up today for tomorrow night.

[phoenixgtr]

Old Tai Tap to Gebbies Loop

Destination: The Twisted Hop - Poplar Lane off Tuam Street between Manchester & Madras

Re-group Points:
1. In Halswell after turning left onto Halswell rd.
2. Outside the Wheatsheaf Tavern in Teddington.
3. In Lyttleton on Norwich Qy before heading over Evans Pass

We'll also get someone at the front of the group to stop on the corner of Old Tai Tapu Road as not everyone knows where this is.

Link to the Google Map here

This route is fairly quick and straight for the first part until heading through Gebbies Pass, where it gets a little more interesting. For those who don't want to ride so far they can head straight over Dyers Pass, rather than going all the way to Sumner. Of course you'll be expected to have beer waiting for the rest of us at the pub if you choose to do this
