South Auckland Thursday Night Ride

I'm a definite maybe; ha!
Bike shop coming to collect the KTM after work so it depends on when they get here.
If I come, it'll be on the Beemer

A friend on mine had a massive accident on Sunday at the AMCC racing and is currently in hospital with 6 broken vertibrae, 6 broken ribs and a broken pelvis so I'm trying to get up to the hospital everyday to see how he is doing. Pending being able to leave work early to get up and see him and then get out to you - I am a tentative booking at this stage.

You have to come along, you saved me and my toy bike getting left behind by all the big kids on their real bikes last week

I hope it all works out for your mate though.

Hope your mate recovers soon!

There were a couple of offs but not as many as I've seen at other days. AMCC do a really great job of making the days as safe as poss.....Unfortunately though it is a risk of the sport - I guess just like any sport. Text me and let me know where you end up and me and my cage might come out and meet you.

Speaking of ice, it was most satisfying leaving work at 7am these last 2 mornings riding past all the cage drivers scraping ice off their windscreens (we have motorbike garages at work).

Then my visor fogged up and stayed that way all the way home

Any tips to get around that before tonight?

That's what the TEC is for.

I was sticking behind with them to act as a sort of gauge for billie to follow but from what I could see you weren't doing too badly! You might not be on your own this week, possibly two others on 250s are coming along too.

What happened to the Orange machine??? were you a bit hard on it during the weekend or has it got frostbite?

**idleidolidyll** · 4th June 2009, 16:57

It's 500km past its next service so Triple X picked it up today.
That plus they're pissing about with it for some more HP's.

Anyway, I feel old today so the Beemer is more appropriate!

5pm, down the beer and hurry home. Bloody motorway!

Din, looks like you should bring the Whale so we can all have a picnic on the side of the road. No point racing to your doom on these cold roads.

**Korumba** · 4th June 2009, 23:49

Good ride tonight 13 started and 13 finished I hope...
Gwinch I thought you were with us at the end of the road after the pub...once I got on the motorway and people started waving goodbye I run out of single head lights behind me...and had not seen you.
hope your not lost in a cabbage patch somewhere.....

Nice ride tonight guys

What? 12 na, wait a minute, 13 riders last night, even the "OLD GUY" came out to play and theres just Jafar on here this morning.
I'm blown away, theres usually so much hot air after one of our rides you could fill a Hellium balloon with it.
Great to see Thani-B and monkeymsea there last night, well ridden you two, nice lines and good road positioning.
Well it was cold but hey it was also perfect weather and the roads were relatively quiet, another great SATNR ride, cheers Jafar.
