Hey Guys i'm pretty new to biking, been drooling over it all for aeons, got a Hyosung GT250R a couple of weeks back and am looking for a group ride to join.

Is it possible to become a part of this weekend ride?

Yes there are quite a few people on here who race Hyosungs much to everyone else's amusement... ok that was a redundant comment but I had to throw it in there... lol. These rides aren't learner friendly I don't think, do you do illegal pace well?

[sl8er4lyf]

Haha, illegal pace shunned upon here?

Personally i think the 70kph rule is retarded...

Haha, not liking the hyosung comment already, beats the bus though dude!

Well illegal pace is shunned by the trolls on the forums... and they start all sorts of threads about it, the real bikers you will meet on rides, actually riding bikes - just a tip lol.

Get used to the Hobag comments dude haha

would you like to start a thread about the 70 kmps rule, I'm not sure what your referring to...?

[sl8er4lyf]

Hahaha i think my ego can take a few harsh comments on the bike, i just hold it in high stead personally - treasure is probably a better word.

If you guys dont mind i'd love to tag along and be shown up by your R6? - which by the way is all i have my eyes set on for when i get my full.

Just don't want to be hated on for riding ilegally lol, not that i care for it much, just better to make new friends than new enemies

Thats cool, I was looking for a male aged 18-25 do you fit in that category?

PS: I've got an R1 for the road now. I'm a lot slower on it though lol.

Welcome to KB

I dont care if you ride a hyobag but not having a full licence is more an issue.
you do need to be capable of open road speeds

dont listen to YamahaR64Life he is just winding you up

cheers

Take a look at the Wednesday Street skills rides. They do training and also rides aimed at the restricted riders amoungst us.

Also there are lots of riders that are happy for a ride without the pace needing to be too fast. Put up a post.

NASS is the North Auckland Street Skills search for it.

[sl8er4lyf]

haha mr.R1/6 (whichever it may be)...

We will see by jan 2010 how many on that list i gotta tick off lol.

Here's to knowing that the hyo's headlights work fine - never heard one complaint



Thanks duck i'll go make a post now; great help thanks

My experience on KB group rides is that the pace is somewhat spirited.
You get to meet some great people and ride some fantastic roads.
Much as people like to say "ride your own ride" there is an element of wanting to keep up with the group and some people will invariably push beyond their limits.
I've been guilty of this myself and fortunately through more good luck that good management have avoided any accidents.
First time I took my old 400 for an out of town ride I was trying to keep up with a friend and found myself on the wrong side of the road exiting a corner.
If I'd have been through there 2 seconds before or after I'd been a hood ornament.

Unless a ride is advertised as learner friendly I'd recommend against it until you are confident with open road riding.
