Wellington Wednesday Night Cruisy Summer Rides -- 2008/09

[Sparky Bills]

There were a few bikes tonight...
I could tell by the amount coming the other way on piekok hill leaning over with their bodys crossing the centre line.
I had to really slow down till you all went past.
Please keep in mind people that even if your bike isnt over the line, your body still is.

lots of bikes tonight...

heres a photo of them ... ( and GurlRacers head )

Oh look theres our bikes and my damn broken indicator bracket, oh well that'll teach me for being a show off. Great ride you guys and thanks to Guy for the DVD. I'll watch it tomorrow. Oh and could the bloke who has it next after me PM me so I can get it to you?

Oh and thanks to Sels and Gareth for being such great entertainment back over the Haywards.

Oh so happy, another primo ride with no dramas. Good bastards at Monteiths.
You should all remember the man punting a Yamaha Skorpio along for the ride. We were heading back around the bays on the way to Haywards. A nice young man with passenger in a lovely new Suzuki Swift decided he had found the best spot to perform a U turn. Out go the anchors and a nicely timed swerve had the trusty Skorpio around the front of the offending vehicle. I had done all the breaking I needed, so I gave them a scowl (very pale face on the driver, can't think why) and we continued our merry way. Well done Cloggy, good defensive riding.

I counted 26 bikes parked up at the end - nice.

...... I may take it for our very first ride together and join you all at the destination (if someone would be good enough to tell me where that might be.... )

Hehe, you gave a chance for someone to show their prowess and kiwi ingenuity with the ole' duct tape so it all ends well eh?

Ahh damnit! I don't normally have that problem Most people look straight over the top of me!

[flame]

sounds like I missed a good ride

The wines and company in Kelson were too great to pass up though
Next week I may have to come along and play

Yeah thanks for the reminder Nigel, I need to thank Hawkeye and his mighty Duct tape or I wouldn't be indicating right and the many people who came to my aid.

You said a mouthful there GurlRacer. I'd like to point out I didnt come off. My footpeg bottomed on a rather narly corner while I was doing my best Rossi impersonation and bounced the frame into the bottom of my seat. And I'd also like to point out I was following Nigel.

[GurlRacer]

Oh! And a HUGE thanks to Sels and Gareth for picking me up and dropping me home Muchly appreciated!
But alas, didn't beat you with the photos... ended up getting straight into the dishes and washing when I got home... oh..

[Hawkeye]

I need to thank Hawkeye and his mighty Duct tape

No Problem Insanity. I have always found it advantagous (sp - sorry Hitcher) to have a roll under the seat for such occasions.

[Drogen Omen]

Was a very laxed ride, had fun see u guys next week.

[Hitcher]

The Shiver enjoyed her first Wednesday nighter.

A very pleasant little pootle tonight, thoroughly enjoyable. Good to catch up with the usual suspects and see a few new faces too. The Montieths bar is a good venue, plenty of room, food came out quick considering the crowd, and they even put on a couple of free platters of nibbles. (puts a certain bar a few doors up to shame...)

Oh! And a HUGE thanks to Sels and Gareth for picking me up

You're welcome - you're a good pillion. (Ya must be gettin to know that seat quite well by now anyways )

And I got to traverse the PK Hill 4 times tonight.....

[Gareth51]

It was a great ride tonight,some fast some slow,
for Sels and I ...down piekok,up piekok,down piekok,up piekok
What a great spot the Monteiths Bar is, 28 bikers walk through the door and within minutes everyone has a drink with food not far behind,what great service
Was nice to have GurlRacer along for the ride,a few more bikes than she is use to in the HB rides.

See you all next week
