South Auckland Thursday Night Ride

[idleidolidyll]

Hey yea, I like your train of thinking Mmmmmm Ladies closeups.

Oh on the ride I think we should use a pointer system, so the rider following the lead rider, has to stop at the intersection, and be pointer to make sure no one gets lost, and waits till TEC come through be for moving on.

What say you good Idea.

i was thinking more along the lines of a trail of breadcrumbs but hey, i'm open to options

you may have noticed i have a problem with authority.

one of the reasons i ride in this bunch is the lack of it.

i also reckon authority=ego=issues=animosity=exclusivity

My 'vote' is there is no need to vote; leave the ride as it is, nobody is boss, nobody is in authority. For years we have happily got by with someone taking point on the night and that has often swapped by the minute, hour, week or month.

so people get lost occasionally, tell them the destination at the start and make some simple guidelines for us to follow every ride (or not).
guidelines can be as simple as "go your own way and see you at the .............."(insert pub, beach, dairy etc here) or they can be as complicated as as printed route map if anyone is anal enough to compile one.

ignore me and elect some kind of authority, boss or whatever you wish to call it; that's up to you.

I'll continue to post on Dovers' ride thread and will turn up occasionally to go in the same or a different direction.

I like riding with you lot, i like chatting but this is an informal ride night not a club. For me "ride night" suggests more riding than drinking.

DOVER! Come back please!

You gnna have to travel a long way to find the dover........he is gone baby gone.

[Korumba]

[Lula]

I'm keen to ride somewhere this week that has Sky Sport 1 so that I can watch the coverage from the Red Bull City Scramble on at 9.30pm. On a bit late but I don't have Sky Sport

[idleidolidyll]

i think the Clevedon has a big screen and sky but you'd still have to make sure they are screening the right channel.

looks like i WON'T be in Christchurch: I'll be somewhere between Hastings and Wanganui heading for Mania the next morning.

Pity the weather looks like shit or I'd take the beemer

[jafar]

I'm out this week guys, still doing the training in hamihole & not getting back fast enough

[DIN PELENDA]

I'm out 2 !

[scottjpalmer]

I'm also out tonight, slack huh, work shift swap . . .

[Korumba]

I am in, hope to see at least someone there.

[oldguy]

I just can't be F**ked

[Brett]

crap...you are all out the one night I would have been in. Was just on here to see where you meet up still, then onto the gixxer to catch you up. But alas, no.

[Korumba]

The six of us rode for an hour, then talked crap for an hour and a half, all good!

[puddy]

They say that you learn something new every day. I think that's true! DR650s are good learner's bikes. You can ARSE off and just pick it up and carry on!
