hey its Sam here the guy who just came off on the Takas!
well i have a nice load of lumps and bruises and its gunna hurt 2moro but till then its fine so the bike, well im thinking of cliaming on the insurance and i think that they will pay up so that will be nice, i am trying 2 put up some fotos of the bike but it's throwing a tanty at me so ill give 1 more go before i have to pick the munted bike up. See ya next time!!
Hey mate, sorry to hear about your off! I was wondering what happened to you. Looks like minimal damage, those bar's are mega weak naturally. If you can't get insurance you could easily buy some straight bars and new indicators and probabaly fix it up for under 200 =).

*Waits for thursday night thread to abuse this thread for yet more off's.
This ride looks far too dangerous. You guys are going to start getting the po po's attention. One has to wonder whether the ride leadership is out of step.
Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.
Hey guys new to this so show some sympothy for this sad sack!!
met one of the guys who rides from wellington! i work at caltex stokes valley pop in and say G'day sometime.

Im glad the wed night now has a dangerous look to it, just like the thursday ride... so now we are all even and back to square one.
Im thinking the leadership had nothing to do with why someone fell off.
I also thinking its either the riders or the bikes fault and no one elses, unless of course there was a third party like oil on the corner or something.
The GN250 is a great bike, to commute from lower hutt to seaview in peak hour traffic at 30kmh. Its also fine to go up the takas on but you gotta ride it to the weather conditions the bike conditions / setup and the riders experience has a massive effect as well.
I think Sams experience just doubled from his efforts tonight and hes not shy to tell everyone he fell offim sure before he gets another ride up the takas he will have a look at the bikes setup, tyres suspension etc and go thru the owners manual and set it up correctly or ask for help in doing so on this web site.
Afterall everyone is here to help, so welcome aboard sam....
and get back to fixing ya bike.
Take a panadol now, the pain wont be so bad in the morn, heheheheee
Good blast tonight, especially around the lake. That road is fun.

Wed night ride organisation...
Tonights ride was much more organised...
There was a small briefing at the lake, the destination was decided and a vote to stop at the top or carry on thru was also discussed.
There was also the question of an extra ride, no holes bared around the lake.
This was a great idea and those that wanted to go gave a hands up.
Once we made it to the pub on the other side, again the question was whos coming around the lake, once food was ordered everyone that wanted to go jumped on the bikes and off we went.
The grouping system worked well tonight, as the faaster riders set out front and the slower riders at the back.
All the extra rides once we arrive at our original destination are seperate from the actual wed night ride and how they are conducted depend totally on how many riders and their capabilites.
That sort of thing will be decided on the day.
All in all a great nights ride, thanks alot.
