Not coming this week, gone skiing with my kids. I be in Ohakune for 5 days, what resection. Hope to catch up next week !

Way cool, have fun Din, I am very jealous.

cut the secret squirrel crap; it's tedious and smacks of exclusivity. if you want some of the other riders who have stopped coming to return, be open and can the 'club' attitude. the ride will probably have to become a ride again and not an excuse for a night at a pub.

Wow,I've missed all the fun this week.... there was no secret squrirrel crap the below post explains it all, where we went and what we saw, if you were there you would understand.

Nice Ride tonight Fullas, couple of new guys good too see and they did well with the pace, the two twins (Our evenings entertainment, the girls headlights) and the floss (What Little they had on) at the Last Post (MERCER) was worth the whole ride, nice choice Jafar...although i have a feeling we didnt happen on the Pub at the end by chance.

I'm all keen for a few longer rides, but in saying that what we have been doing the last couple of weeks have been great, dont care where we end up if its a pub or a cafe somewhere its fine with me, ending up at the village on hotdog night is fine with me too.

I will be there tomorrow unless its hosing down when I leave work.

I enjoy the SATNR. IMHO it's not as good as it used to be, but it's ten times better than the West AKLD one! I'm not a current SATNR diehard, I only go occasionally, but probably the last four or five rides that I've been on have lead to the same place, and by the sound of it a fair number of the ones that I've missed have ended at the same destination. i'd dearly love to go somewhere different. However, if everybody else want to go what has become 'the regular', then that's fine. I'm not trying to force anything. I'll either suck it up or go elsewhere. I'm for more riding, less drinking/talking BS. Too much more of this and I'll be willing to PAY $250 to go somewhere different! Maybe I'll chuck in a few hotdogs too!
As you were.

That's great and sounds like what I was suggesting; for me the paddy and the rides to it had become stale.

Cheers puddy,
That's about what I reckn except the last ride I went on seemed to indicate the ride and destination were not gonna change.
It looks like reason has prevailed.

The suggestion that we elect a leader had turned me off too. Hope that's over with cause I hate authority. It usually ends up an ego issue.

It's 3.10pm and i'm about ready to fuck off for the avo.

had enough of work for the day.

any takers on a daylight ride?

[Korumba]

I took a vote,with having done over a 1000ks on the bike in the last 7 days, I will give tonight a miss.

Enjoy the ride people and be safe, see you next week.

I'm out tonight, still stuck at work damn it....arrrghhh

[Lula]

Well tonight proved to be the winning one - so finally the SATNR as been there and done that....yes the $250 cash was won by one of us! See pics for proof it's not all pffft

Over 25 bikes there tonight ...and I got to take the new Moto Guzzi Bellagio for a bit of spin...yes we went for a ride, well over an hour out the back roads and it was as dry as the bottom of a budgies bird cage, oh and the staff made sure I got my hot dog tonight!

[caseye]

Hey folks, great ride tonight, roads great,destination same as every last Thursday of the month, for free hotdogs and a chance to sweep the pools.
An we did!
Welcome Mike form Manurewa on his Kawa 1200 2002 machine, you rode your own ride and arrived safe an sound along with the rest of us.
Next week, who knows where we will end up, who cares.
C u ugly buggers then.
PS: nice Guzzie Lula, I know a guy who knows a guy who would kill for one of those.

[scottjpalmer]

[Korumba]

To all those that don't like where this ride goes etc why not just do what I do and take your own ride either alone or with a mate or two? That way you get to go exactly where you want when you want at the pace you want. I like riding alone or with a couple of mates only over the larger club type rides.
