    Hornet Swarm by night ...

    Well, it was a very impromptu meet n'greet tonight ... ended up with Toto, Choco and I having a little Hornet get together!

    Turned up that it was a bigger ride than expected! Had Banzai and PirateJafa bingle bonking along with the swarm...

    Met up at Auckland City Library, Banzai already in Borders waiting for us!
    I was playing with my bling ice blue LEDs on the Big Ol'Hornet waiting for the rest to show up.

    Nice sounds of the Hooligan and a lil'ol'hornet meant the swarm was complete. The others duly arrived and the usual bike shite talk fest commenced before Jafa needed to fill up (rather than riding on fumes).

    Toto graciously allowed me to have a blat on the Hooligan and I was mightily impressed with it! Gotta luv' them Hornets!

    Anyway down to Caltex, through the domain twisties, along to Mission Bay and a stop to swap bikes again. Through the St Heliers GP, down to Panmunters where we chin wagged and took obligatory photos ... a couple of homeless fellas asked if we had smokes ... as if ow!

    From there, it was the parting of the swarm, Toto and Choco off back norf, and Jafa, Banzai and I did a quick zootle to Buckland's beach.

    I ended up riding back through Whitford way and goddamn if I didn't run into the biggest, juiciest, squelchiest bugs at night. I got home and had to throw my gear into the wash since it was a mess of gloopy yellows and greens!

    Never mind, was a good night for a meet n'greet n'ride!

    Just have to find more Hornets to go buzzing around with next!

    I think your lil'ol'hornet needs some bling LEDs next! And piccies! Need piccies 'cause this thread will be useless without them ow!

    @PirateJafa : Hey, remember if you need a hand, ask the Electric Red LED camo ninja!

    Holy crapola, I just watched some of the water chugging out of the washing machine and it is blacker than the hind arse of Obama! Must wash them more often! No trace of the green and yellow gloop of suicide bugs however!

    Hooligan has been secretly talking to me the whole day while I had my two exams - one in the morning and one in the avo. As I was doing all the Muly-Guess questions I get this voice in my head saying - gotta go for a ride , gotta go for a ride ...all too settle but contant. An impromptu ride was just what the doctor ordered to take care of the voice in my head...

    Me and choco got to the building full of books and knollage to find the master Ninja already on the sidewalk, pacing back and forth playing with the newest bling on the Big Ol'Ornet - Bright sparkling blue sources of magic that lit the bottom side of the Big Ol'Ornet like christmas three on at night. It was a WOW feeling looking at it. Kust like those bugs that get hipnotised looking at the UV neons , me and choco were hipnotised by the dazling display of prittiness comming from GiJoes thrusty big steed.

    Set of on the St. Heliers Gp trough the nice smoothe roads, parks and alike with the brightly lit up Big Ol'Ornet in the front leading the way, amazing all the kids eating Ice Cream on mission bay.Following were Banzai's worlds fastest GN, PirateJafa's fastest race VFR, Chocos Hornet with the chocolate wheels. Me was in charge of the Hooligan at the end of the swarm to scare off any unwanted elements by making sure that if they happen to follow the Hooligan too closely are risking their eardrums exploding...

    At some stage of the pootling we picked up a Car full of smurfs that were attracted the Hooligan's exhaust as it was Smurfiet toples on the beach. Anyhow they decided that we were just a bunch of innocent bikers that wouldnt bother to brake the lay so they decided to not interrupt our happy swarming around Sin City - yeppeee

    Met a few Homies that were up to no good but seeing that we were bad ass bikers that possibly kill people decided its not worth comming close to the swarm, and good for them


    All in all a great night swarming around the city of snails with the Head Hornet Honcho in the front.

    Me sa things that ought to become a regular activity ... what do ya say fellow hornets ?

    The rinse cycle on the vibrating fluid flux agitator is now revealing clearer water, in spin cycle now! Shall hang them in the hot water cupboard and have that nice fresh effervescent feeling of clean biker gear! (an oxymoron I am shure!)

    What route did you guys take? "Nice smooth roads", "Domain twisties", where are these? Can someone please Google maps the roads? Thinking about going for a ride around there sometime.
    Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.

    The "Domain twisties" are a short, but very sweet, set of bends in the Auckland Domain.

    Do a google map search for "lower domain drive, auckland"
