Hornet Swarm Night City

[Interceptor]

Okay thanks for letting me know.

I am away on holiday next week so I won't make that one. However I will continue to monitor this thread and hopefully I will finally join you guys on a Hornet Swarm... well with a VFR tagging along.

Not a problem, the moar the merrier! It is a sedate get together and we do riding, talk bollocks and find somewhere that will let filthy biker scum come in and eat!

Dirty bikers!!!

Nice little Hornet swarm today, Sharry had her new Hornet CB00F on show (naughty wee girl she is ... Sharry that is! )

Badger on his steed, TOTO on the Hooligan and me on my lil'ol'hornet. The Big Ol'Hornet was at Botany getting new chain and sprockets and hot grips, and I was given a 87' CBR250R to ride!

Rode it promptly home to swap it for my lil'ol'hornet and went back out to meet the group at BP Botany for a nice little pootle to Kaiaua for lunch and back via the Hunuas.

Tried out the hotgrips tonight, found them too warm for me! even on the minimum setting. Guess I'll keep them off unless I feel the strong urge to switch it on! But the blue LED is so purty

So, now I have spent $775 on last weeks service and $600 on this weeks service ... and tomorrow, a new front tyre! Guess I will be eating baked beans for a wee while!

I make baked beans and noodles take turns

Why do I get the feeling your bill will make mine seem paltry by comparison

I'll be Re-Swarmed on Friday!
Found a purdy 2003 Hornet 900 in grey with twin Micron Carbon cans
Should be awesome.

That screen will need to go though...

Also happy birthday Sharry!

25 again!

And she had a good birthday full of hornettering! Went and got a warrant on her new cherry baby, and then over to cycletreads for some new rubber, brake pads, and blingy bits for me! After yesterdays wonderful ride i had a patch of breakthrough to the steel belts on the rear!
Then of for a lovely little ride up 17, across to kaukapakapa, then back down peak rd and old north rd to scrub the rubber. Only just threw it on, and me chicken strips already be crispy fried!
