Regular weekend rides

[Mom]

Was good to see you all today, thank you for stopping in for refreshments.

Big thank you to yachtie for the tank bag, it came up like brand new after a wash.

I think I had my second best ride today ever.

I had a lot of things all seem to come together today and felt like I crossed through a barrier. I "know about" kissing the mirrors, but today I found myself doing it without thinking, and it changed tight corners from needing a lot of counter steering input to almost needing nothing and being effortless. I was sitting on the bike in a slightly different position than normal, lowering down a little bit more, and for some reason when I was looking through the corners I was seeing things differently from before.
I do have a cortisone dificiency which was diagnosed about 3 months ago. One of the things cortisone does is trigger the release of blood sugars for the brain to use. So when you have a cortisone dificiency it makes it more difficult for your brain to concentrate and take in information. Perhaps having medication to correct this has aided in the changes as well.

I don't know what it was overall. But it was a great day for me.

Sounds like we all had a pretty good day!!! Before I got to the end of your post P.Dath I was going to say its probably just the drugs

Was good to ride in the sun, have good roads and great people around me. The Pizza was a bonus as was seeing likes of you out and about Dumpty and finding that Boris was just being a girl over a slight polish to his ride (Hardly call THAT crash damage ).

Coffee and a BS session being kindly supplied by Mom was a bonus.

Ntox, looks like you might just be riding on a different motorcycle soon as you get the setup sorted. Got the front put back to standard settings as well? Nick will sort you on Sunday.

Thanks guys for a top weekend ender, it was a great weekend for me, starting with Hinny Friday night and a few drinks over MotoGP (and courtesy of Ntox WSBK footage), then a great testing day at Pukekohe and all topped off by a ride in the sun with you guys (and of course ... Pizza ).

Top day, top weekend. Cheers.

P.S. we missed you out there Zeal, I think you'll find a good few regulars at the ART day.

Heads up for anyone turning up for the regular ride

Most of the regulars (including me) are attending the ART day at pukekohe race track
so I dont know what the turnout may be
So if noones there do your own thing as the weather is looking good

Hey peterpan, I suspect that was a different ride. It was for the launch of MAG-NZ. Like p.dath says, check the first post that has the where and when details for usual ride.

Would hate for you to turn up at Albany when you need to be in Dairy Flat.

The ride you saw yesterday from Albany was the north arm of a 4 points of the compass ride to Drury where we launched MAG-NZ. www.mag-nz.org. Everyone is welcome on these rides too. If you join up you will get notified of what rides/events we are planning.

Hey Peterpan, there is the Pink Ribbon Ride on Sunday that you could go on - should be heaps of bikes there and you could meet up with a bunch of us at Silverdale - at the garden centre car park at the bottom of East Coast Road in Silverdale - 9am Sunday - then we head off to meet with the others in St Johns.
