Was that the North Island or the South Island that jumped out in front of ya's ?? or one of those other pesky pacific islands ??

Anyone looking for a ride over the weekend have a look at the BFTP calander entry. If you head that way on Sunday I might catch up with you!!

Nice to see some new faces with Dazza, Jamie, Stephen all coming along and good to see slofox and Ckai back out with us. 12 bikes left 11 made it out of Hamilton for a good ride with good company. Don't know where all the regulars have got to Leyton still missing in action, spazm gone missing in action? .

Nice to meet ya'll (and see some very old faces). Broken down bubba bike rider phoned me up Sunday evening to say they'd made it home OK.

Next thing you'll be telling him that he's pretty too!
We'll be sure to keep you in front on future rides; bit worried what you might get up to if allowed to 'go behind'

By the way, my headlight problem was easy fixed - bit embarrassing really - you know how there's a switch that goes headlight, parklight, off? well...um... yeah, it was um like off

lol hrrmm yeah.. i looked down to see what time we were getting back into hams after a 5 hour ride then HELLO!!! Airborne... then landed nicely back on the road and carried on like nothing had happened.. was a bit random to be honest!!! I was pretty gutted coz I thought I was riding really well then just let my concerntration slip for just a moment!
was a slow ride home thats for sure!!! Lucky sli3ntwar was able to act as protection so I wasnt rammed from behind! (on ya mate!)
but yeah, i think that bike is cursed... or maybe I should just stop riding altogether!!! lol.... Nah!

Anyone organising a ride for this weekend?? Nothing up on calander!

Following weekend is Paeroa races and we have had a group go up in the past! Is anyone interested and I believe Ulysses also have some going up so may join with them for a ride on the Sunday.

If you havent been to the Paeroa race meet you need to do it!

Weekend after that I think is the Toyrun from Cambridge to Hamilton. Be part of 600-800 (or more bikes)

I'm up for the Paeroa races already, who's going?

haha lmao.. NICE!!! at least you didnt pay $80 for them to look at it, then tell you that, The first step for it to work is that you need to turn it on!!!

**BikerDazz** · 11th February 2010, 19:51

Bummer mate.
Moral of the story though is that most accidents happen close to home.
I guess you spent 5 hours being vigilant on the ride then relaxed as the ride was coming to an end and whammo.
Reminder to us all - the ride aint over till your parked up and off the bike.
Don't lose heart, you'll be right.

It's just ckai playing hard to get, then coming on hard and strong - must be all that hair's got him confused.

Okay, okay, I requested attendance at the last ride, ckai said na, piss off; I turned up and he said I was pretty then he's cuddling up to you - dunno if I should be jealous or what!

haha, I thought you may get me confused with a chick so I chopped the locks off. Now I look like Britney Spears. Well maybe not (I think I have a better ass).

As for the ride this weekend, I'm pretty much out. Saturday I'm up in the Land of Dork and Sunday is catching up on the shit I didn't do on Saturday.
