Hornet Swarm Night City

[rie]

I think an urban mayhem ride to MurderBurger must be done for din-dins, we can just bounce some cars out of the way for praking.

We can kibbitz on what theme or direction we want to ride to.

see you tonight!

we can go and taunt Tracey at the mall!

YES. put our sticky fingers, still hot from the ride, all over her pretty blue bike. *snortmewmew*

[madbikeboy]

Mmm. Fondling a Gixer. I can see why, after all they are the best bike in the known universe.

Oh noes! Mah foot!

My workboots have been giving my feet hell this week, and a few badly placed itchy bites and excessive time spent in riding boots probably hasnt helped...
Last night i had an itchy as hell foot, and apparently i kept scratching it with my opposite heel in my sleep. I awoke this morning to find a big raw patch on the top of my foot, and have spent the day in agony at work. So methinks i'll be off the bike for a couple of days Now that y'all come back out of hiding... *mutter grumble*

Will have to see if i can find my steel-capped jandals for work tomorrow i think i'll get thrown off site for that somehow, heheh

Have fun ya lucky sods! Someone bring me a burger dammit!

[Choco]

Do you usual swarm suspects have MSN?
I often forget to check this thread and am left out of the riding loop!

Pretty much, most of us have that wee winged button up there to the right

Hey badger, how'd the brake bleed go? any difference?

Great mate, nice and firm, and constant response
Even after the cable tie trick, had a few bubbles and a bit of gunk come outta the line

Is bleeding the brakes pretty simple?

you wanting to bleed to get rid of air bubbles, or replace the fluid entirely?
The first is pretty quick and fairly easy, the latter is a little more involved and a fair bit more time consuming.

Well, if your going to do a job, you might as well do it properly...

Sad we missed you guys around tonight, was quite keen for a swarm.

Hope was fun night for ya falks. Igot my nails done at the bike show tho...

[rie]

lol toto, the seacrets herd got you too? there is no way i am spending $89 for cuticle oil when even coverage of auckland malls gets my nails done for free

the swarm celebrated quietly on two separate ends of the city tonight. it was great to match some faces to KB names!

[TOTO]

yea, we were with Banzai, Swee and musicman and Trace swarming round and another 15 other bikers around us. There was my hornet and bomma's hornet too so tecnically it was a swarm.

Pah...

You weren't graced with the presence of the mighty crusier though...

[gijoe1313]

Well that was entertaining as a night goes for me, the comings and goings of the various KBers and personalities were all over Auckland tonight! Biker mayhem indeedy!

Waited till 7pm and then we rode up to Murder Burger ... only to find out rie just wanted the stickers! Well, after a great feed and nosh up care of MBB, endless texts with no coherent game plan, rie, MBB, Donor and I pootled off to Manukau to tee up with Maverick. Tried to find the others, but they had gone back to Mission Bay :slap:

Just remember, if you want to make a friend of MBB - give him caramel ice cream! I played ninja warrior on rie when she was left alone in the mall (dangerous that! ) and generally looked strange with filthy biker scum clothing. And rie with her large padded shoulders (heck, she had to carry her helmet since it would show why she was wearing large, padded shoulders!)

Anyway, missives from Banzai et al were all good and eventually when MBB headed home (due to night and becoming pumpkin like), Donor needed shut eye time and eventually there was just Maverick and rie and I heading back to Auckies.

I turned right towards Mission Bay after rie left and I met the crew at Reef's Bar. A good yarn and suddenly an impromptu ride through the St Helier's GP and Whitford-Maraetai was on!

Good to see the group riding well and keeping to their own pace. I was on lil'ol'hornet so it felt like I was going a zillion miles a hour (even though it was a sedate pace and riding to the conditions).

Stopped in Clevedon to have a last natter (World of Warcrafting was a priority after the ride! ) and from there a quick blat to the moronway.

Thanks everyone for a great riding night! Jeez, I'm turning into a social butterfly, flitting between groups and latching on for the next ride ( in this case, generating it through group pressure! )

Swee and Banzai, good to see you at the end eventually!
