Hornet Swarm Night City

[Interceptor]

Good meeting some new faces and putting names to them! Was good to see people deciding for themselves what to do and where to ride! A small group went to eat first and then rode out to Port Waikato via Whitford and some other back roads! Just the occasional possum, but fortunately none going under any wheels!

Just one mad bugger towards the end who was trying to race us to the onramp near the Bombays!

Plenty of bugs on visors, the usual quick chit chat and we rode back via roads that minimised motorway travels!

I hope the other group informs what they got up to! (we'll plan further ahead to make sure we can all ride together - just some bellies needed to be filled! )

Great ride south side on Monday night, as usual GI Joe took us on a winding trek all over the countryside finishing up in Port Waikato. Lots of open road, no traffic and considerably warmer than last time we trekked out there mid-winter so made for a good night.

I don't think looking where you want to go works this far into the crashing procedure.

Also: Next accessory for Gremlin?

You can tell you have no licence... all these random things. I love how they called it the Tenere, but then have a GSA inside. Besides... I don't doooo tenting (well, not yet, it's probably foreseeable tho). Oh, and I've seen it already

I imagine this would interest a certain someone.

I guess with Wanpo doing the hard yards on foot, he's been culling the interweebs for kewl motorbike vid stuff And yeah, Gremlin doesn't do rough, he prefers to flashpack his way around when he can!

Not many doo-dahs and gadgets that he hasn't seen!

He's supposed to be working

Meanwhile... his bike's been parked up for a couple of weeks and needs the running gear turned over so I'll enjoy taking Cammy out for a lunchtime spin through Paremoremo/Coatesville tomorrow, whee!

Sure, I won't be able to ride it much this month, go for it... oh wait, you can't! that's right, I'm the responsible one that hasn't lost my licence!

[gale_wolf]

That is an acceptable excuse, and an absolute gem from xkcd. Also, we need some swords to go with our swivel chairs...

Fate tempted? Check!

"It's like a tiny, loud, light, angry, stiff World Superbike racer, or a pukka 250GP bike. It's like no other supersport bike I've ridden – so raw, and more race than track."

"It feels every inch a track-ready racer, it steers quickly, gives loads of feedback for grip and the brakes are superb. It's fast, but revvy - a Daytona 675 or GSX-R600 have a lot more grunt and a far smoother throttle."

"The throttle response on the F3 can be a little snatchy and hesitant depending in which of the four power maps you're in."

Sounds like a little monster!!

[GSXR Trace]

you? responsible?

ha!

Damn straight I am! remember my licence doesn't have a single speeding ticket on it's record!


so I am going to be without a bike for a couple of weeks, some dickhead backed into the bikes at the shop today, another bike fell on mine, and mine hit the tarmac, so it's now being repaired... anyone want to help me beat on the guy? only reason i'm not screaming and pulling limbs off someone is cause the bike shop are fixing and replacing it all, and putting a new tank on it etc, so they have been really good, and appreciate that my bike was in great condition so are fixing it all without any questions


But I'm still more than a little angry tonight!

[Sharry]

That sucks big time Tracey. I hope the bugger was caught and is paying all the excesses
