Nice ride people. Off out but that was great.

I spoke too soon Dooly. Had a wicked tank slapper coming in to our valley on the way home. my fault cos I was scooting along and went to full noise and passed a van. That piece of road has a bad ripple in it and at 120 mph it just went nuts. My wrists,still, actually hurt.

But what a great day.

Looks like we have lost our Chicky to the H/D. She had a big grin when I saw her. Good stuff Chicky. You will be out setting da pace soon.

Have a nice day tomorrow everyone. Cheers and thanks for a great day.

Edit I love ridin.................

Yes another awesome ride, still lots of bumps on the road good to see constable Keith setting the pace on the way back, farout what anice bike

I never new they made Gixxers like that, got all the gear to. some more photos to have a look at.

Some more photos, bud looks like he's had to many Speights and we havn't got into the pub yet. Carnalee looked comfortable on your bike, I won't tell him you were scratching his pegs on the corners though

I have to say I have missed my saturday rides with you lot. Thanks heaps Wasp for the ride the H/D is an amazing bike to be pillion on....could have quite nicely gone to sleep. A HUGE thanks to Gixxer and Mary for their hospitality and big hugs to Gixxer for the lessons. I had a ball and can't wait to come out to do it again. Unfortunately I won't be there next weekend due to going down to Wellington to spend my birthday with my twin. Can't break tradition just because I moved I reckon.

Hope your wrist is ok Gixxer. See what happens when Mary or I aren't on the back to make you behave hehehehe. Nice Wheelies Speights_bud don't think Carnalee saw those.

Must of been a bad one to hurt your wrist.
Seems to be the in thing.
As I told you, I had another tank slapper today too, same bloody spot as last time we rode there. At least I saw the reason this time, nasty lump in the road. A good ride today tho.
Jason's Gixxer sure is nice, with all the fruit on it.
I enjoyed the fast blast from Elsthorpe to Patangata, still a dodgy bit of road in places, but magic none the less.

Did anyone take note what was going on with the patched gang members and the bikes on the side of the road on the way back?

I noted a cross on the left side of the road. I assume it was a memorial "ride out" or similar. I slowed down and gave a acknowledgement wave and got nothin back. Shame really cos I do care about others.

Was great to have you out Chicky. You need to do it often and we will get you up to speed in no time. It was great fun. Happy movin tomorrow.

That H/D is cool but we only say that in a whisper incase Wasp hears us.

Yep I need the stabalizing influance of a good woman on the back.

Turns out there was no wind. So where the bloody hell were you?

**BigG** · 10th June 2007, 09:37

Hope yo don't mind Speights_bud but it looks like you sucked instead of blew.

**yungatart** · 10th June 2007, 11:03

Sounds like you guys had a good ride. Damn, I hate missing out! And it is too blardy cold to ride today!

Rockquest heats were great, alas hxc and his band didn't qualify for regionals this year. I don't know why, they were way better than lots who did. Thats the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

I think it was the excitement of getting his hands on the Bandit. You are one brave man Lee. So how did you feel when you got to the turn off and found he wasn't there? Heart stopping moment?
I kept and eye on him and he almost behaved.

He saved the rubber on the front for another day
