I can't make it tonight. But I've already done Whitford-Maraetai 3 times today. On GIJoe's Hornet and Predator, and my Gixxer. Lots of traffic out today though :-s

How fast do you chaps go? I might be in if not going to hold you up?

Also how far do you go? Need a full tank?

We go out for the fun of riding bikes, not going fast. A new face would be more than welcome.

Since we generally don't decide where we're going until we meet at the library, whether you need a full tank can vary.

I'll be there tonight, feels like I haven't been out on a ride for months. (I also bought a +90 bulb for my high beam and put the +50 into my low beam, so I may have a better chance of seeing things at night)

Cool, I will leave my knee sliders home then I dont have to pretend I use them.

My boy has come down crook which may stop me but will try to be there.

Well good to see the ride is still alive. Here in China, being a motorcyclist really is a life and death choice! The authorities impound and destroy bikes when they get their hands on them. Being winter here, all the bikes have these woollen mitts on the handlebars and usually trhe rider has something warm draped across their laps!

Thanks for the ride last night guys!

I enjoyed the riding under lights after the burgers. I had been told in the past to use the headlight of the rider in front and thats what I did. Works well. Only problem was Lankybastards brake lights were like looking into the sun.

Will be back sometime, hopefully without the L plate. Hope I didnt hold anybody up.
