I missed out on the ride last night due to family reason. Looks like you guys had a blast and great turn out, will be coming along next Wednesday for sure.

Sometimes doing night shift really blows, I can't do the wed

at night, do you guys plan or even maybe think another day/night

can be organized. I have 3day weekends but tend to

friday mornings
It don't have to be as regular as the weds night meetings but just in a blue moon kind way would be cool.
It be a nicer way to meet more KB'rs other than forking over money to a certain bike shop owner

not that I mind, the service is always top notch

What you need is an NZ based website, one with a meetings and events section, where you could start your own thread organising a ride at a given time to a given place. Now if only there was a website like that...

yep sure did sorry slip of the not so pc mind there.

Lets face it we are all getting older and if you have a look around the pics it shows. These kids are our best bet to keep motorcycling alive, fun and interesting. But its up to us (all of us) to get them into it. Dont have kids of your own? What about nephews and nieces? How about your neighbours kid? I am sure they would like a few hours to do some fun adult stuff lol while you entertain thier kid...

Was blardy good to go for a blat....was a great ride...I took it slow the first half whilst gettin to know my bike in the corners, but a bit faster the 2nd half...

My daughter loved it too (the young one in the Kawasaki jacket), and so did Rob my flatmate and his step daughter....I am sure the kids will want to come more often...

...and so will I!
