    It was a beautiful ride today. I think the 2 group format worked very well. The only problem was the Tin Hut that refused to take orders for food
    Ride fast or be last.

    The sound of metal on road.

    I am pleased I went even though I missed the start and headed up the hill to be the first there. It was a new experience hearing the sound of metal on road and watching the action in my rear view mirror. Rider and bike came out of it okay. A little rain can make the surface a bit tricky.

    Nice ride and good to meet some new faces.

    Another crash!
    Jesus christ it really is becoming the The Carnage Wednesday Night Ride.
    With what every ones says about the TRTNR you'd expect it to be leading the most bins wins race, but I think that the wednesday nights are in the lead.
    While you sit there liking things just cos' everyone else does, I'll be standing up here keeping it real.

    No one EVER said the TRTNR folks couldn't ride. Quite the opposite.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Sorry guys but Masterton Ulysses Club members and partners beat you to it!
    Even so, we did have to wait a long time for our meals, probably because the person who was supposed to book us in forgot to do it, plus there was a group of 15 or more in the back dining room.

    But it was good to see a KB group show up!
    Gareth51 and Sels1, thanks for stopping at our table.

    They were going to take orders after about an hour of being there, then told us the huge amount of cooking had broken the deep frier for good wholesome food like fries and wedges......
    4 of us ended up eating pies at Rimatex.
    Was a good evening, with a couple of L plater's in the group who seemed to maintain the cruisy rate of knots quite nicely!

    To set the record straight that 'bend' was a passing lane as well. I know the limits of the bike well, and ride accordingly to the conditions giving myself at least 35% room for error on the road.
    No petrol for tonights ride.

    Yeah, that was that Deano character, I bet.
    Good to see you Radar, and cheers for the pics

    You are not the only one! The Tin Hut is off my list for the forseeable future. There are plenty of other places to eat.

    Good ride everybody, the 2 groups thing worked ok, and those that kept with the cruisey group - hope you enjoyed it. Good to see some new faces along too.
    Experience......something you get just after you needed it

    Yep, my first time too. Really enjoyed the ride and everyone had heaps of good tips and were really patient.

    Even the pies at Rimatex seemed pretty good - although I was a bit pissed off to find that there'd been a big roast pork dinner scoffed at home while I was gone

    Hope to see you all again next time....

    Was a good ride. Bit disconcerting when everyone dissapeared from behind me. At least no harm done.

    Ive never seen a bike hit the ground and do that little damage before, let alone a faired one.

    The cruisey group tends to stick around the speed limit, but i'd be happy to ride along with you on the motor way, (i'm on a L plate anyway) was talk of heading towards the coast next week, word is there's a pub over that way that actually serves food!

    Far out you'd almost think this was a club

    All I said was how one can avoid the problem you are having if he takes a wheel into a shop to get a tyre changed.

    Take it or leave it, I couldn't give a fuck.

    Any way. If you took the whole bike in then there's no excuse. Have fun changing your tyre by the way.
