I would like to do a trip to raglan some weekend awa? im getting more confidence on the open road since im taking every opportunity when murray organises rides. the thing is, many of them are speed demons and if it wasnt for tail end charlie i would be put off being a learner on a SLOW 250.

You're just lucky the Daytona club hasn't gate crashed. Then you'll see some speed Us triumpy riders are nutters on the road! In fact, we do join you on most of the riders...we're just that fast



In all seriousness, has the group gotten faster since I haven't been riding? I used to like hanging back every so often to watch lines taken (mainly because I couldn't keep up with the leaders ). Made for interesting viewing at times.

You would have been astounded at some of the lines, passing and speed on the last Boyd's ride.
I thought I was quick, until certain few passed me on inside as well as on the outside of a corner, and that was while I was mid corner with my knee on the deck

haha I bet. I got that a bit on Monday at my Training day. But then I know I'm not quick I did enjoy passing the one guy in my group though. It's scary when you're not allowed braking

I'm off work this weekend. Happy to sit back and run at 80-90k's if thats your comfort zone. It's not hard to let the faster traffic past. Steady riding on the open road is a lot more enjoyable than town riding. Just PM me if you want a run somewhere.

He's not that slow and can ride comfortably at 100-110. Speaking with Milan and Nigel last night they commented that TEC was not to far behind the main group at all times on Sunday.

Nope pretty much the same - 18 bikes on Sunday for a great day out

Anyway: I have a friend whose Grandmother has a bucket list and on the list is a ride in a motrorcycle sidecar.

Anyone know of anyone who would take a 78 year old lady for a spin in their sidecar????

[slofox]

If you were certain you would come, I/we could wait till then. That way I get my tea before the ride.

Nah - got a practice at 7.45pm as well...no leisure for wicked people like me...maybe next time though.

im super keen for this saturday if its fine, the wife will be following in the car as we are planning on doing some surfing with the kids. And I agree with riding in the open road. did the kaiaua trip with murray and the gang two weekends ago and it was great - got me hooked.

if anyone else keen for a 100kph cruze, leaving hazelwood ave, dinsdale (my boy would love to see the bikes - the wife may not though) to raglan, please let me know.

Apart from the little 'blow out' through the forest, which could have lightened the wallet somewhat ......... the so called 'speed demons' kept it at just a tad over 110 most of the day. The experiance the front guys have, means that, at that pace there's not too many corners that slow us down. That's where we tend to pull away from the middle group & the TEC's. At no stage during the day did the front guys wait for more that 3-4 mins for the TEC (except when we lost MzTulip ). A very enjoyable ride considering the 18 bikes & range of experiance. LOR continue to encourage all levels of ability on our rides and always will.

Had a neat ride out to Raglan this evening. a bite to eat and the ride back was brilliant, the late sun behind me, the cop car in front,

Wharekura, What time would you want to go out on Saturday? As it's our 37th anniversary this week, I may have 'be nice' to someone on Saturday. will be in touch.


I will be at Boyds in the morning for a new front tyre. might have a wander around the bikeshops while waiting.

I saw one officer while I was behind car&boat. I assume s/he looked in the rear vision while watching us zoom past, and took note of regos? Cause if thats the case I'd better start putting aside some $
