SMC ride this Saturday (22 Aug)

[motorbyclist]

imo 16 has little flow, and when it does the road turns to crap

yeah.... wait WHAT? wtf!? how? where?!

yea, when you got knoblies on. get some motard wheel bro, u'll be hooning like we cant cath ya

no, no he wont

Now, SH22 IS a road with plenty of flow. I agree, sh16's pretty boring anyway, I'd prefer to have to be in 2nd or 3rd gear going around corners, not 5th or 6th.

only problem with sh16 is the leg from auckland to helensville

I just stick in 5th/6th and hold a steady 100. the only notable exceptions are the tight hairpin thing (currently entering at 70, exit at 80-90), a few blind crests that always scare me, and the twisties near the lookout. oh, and the 50k zones....

no tickets and no dramas

If you're gonna go up 16 you may as well make the extra effort and go to Mangawhai! That road has a good flow to it, even if it is only about 15-20km.

Haven't been on SH22 in a long time, but last I heard the road service has been fairly shite lately.

Unfortunately I had work at 10am so missed the ride. Though I am one step closer to owning that TRX850 - fingers crossed aye!

That was a fun ride. Trying to catch a group of motorcyclists on 16 with a cb250rs wasn't an easy job, lol.

Yif. Saw'd you als hanging outside the Kaucop cumin bark , but couldn't stop, I was on a mission.

[Danae]

Maybe I'll catch the next ride...

I can haz learner-oriented ride?

[PirateJafa]

Bat your eyelids at Pocketcracker and I'm sure there'll be one posted up shortly.

[PirateJafa]

yea, smc rides are sooo long. Man I couldnt wait till we reach wellsford so I can get off the damn bike. fak that was a long ride. Can we make it a bit shorter next time, maybe we can do the sky tower loop.

Well I got back at a good time, had an annoying 45 min encounter with a boy racer the whole time though. Bastard tried running me off the road, kept my cool and ignored him. Forty minutes later he got bored.

Softcocks the lot of you.

WTB circlip PST.

Called 4 bike shops lookin for one, then called past 2 hoping they'd be able to find something equivalent but no joy.

Morning of frustration, sounds like you guys had a good one anyway though.

[ital916]

U like riding to mission bay , via the "twisty route" eh ?




RETARD

Haha we gonna pull up all the stupid shit we have said and done bro in the past, like how you used to sandpaper your tires . Next time we are on a ride I'll bring some gold star stickers just for you

Come here you big lovable fatty you, we're all friends.

Probably had more luck than me and the busa trying to catch up to jafa and the bandit.

He might have been able to, but my bike essentially has the same engine as teh bandit, only slightly untuned, so unless they were travelling slow no chance of catching up

Also, the pic, OM NOM NOM my tank

[Rayray401]

hmm, was actually my first group ride so how often does the SMC organise these "learner friendly" rides? XD

Isn't the bandit the detuned one, I think the across' are at 45ps from factory...

ital916 - I got my numbers wrong when we were talking about it the other night, 33kW, not hp.
