Chch Wednesday Night Cruises 2009-10

Sounds like a fun time, what type of cc ratings are you getting, we are 50 riders and would love to join in but not sure if your just big boys or not?

Thanks

The bikes that come along are generally in the 125cc and above range, I think if you are on pretty much any 50cc except a RG50, NSR50, or RS50 you will struggle to keep up and it would be unlikely that the group would wait too long for you.

You would definitely be welcome at the carpark and at the pub, and even within the riding group if you push those little 50s really really hard but more than likely it would for you just be a solo ride with company at either end.

No biggy, chalk it up for a learning experience.
Bike was only missed for one day thanks to R1madness. Did ring Safe R Brakes to see what they would do and was told I could get a new inner cable made next week.
So not a bad result at all.

[Hey wait for me!]

Yo young grasshopper sorry i didn't get back to you about the video footage from my bike camera. Hey i can chuck what i've done on a cd for you if you like I went and got a hand full of bits and pieces today to make a camera mount that will take way better footage. Once thats made i'll take a cruise over the length of the summit road and put that on a disk for you if you like?

Glad you all had great rides but I just wanna say spare a thought for me slaving away at work as you blast past me heading towards the hills--stop torturing me

welll, i think Fiona coped really well on her first WNR witht he wee Scorpio - she did find it very stressful and was really worried about holding people up but she was very happy when we got home.

She did really well! I was following her most of the way. I mentioned to her at Diamond Harbour that I was admiring her riding. In fact, I have her on video! She can watch her progress if she'd like ... She'll soon be on Youtube once bloody Slingshit get thier act together and sort out my internet.

I'm making the most of it mate 'cause in a couple of weeks I'll be in the same boat as you! Am trying to figure out how I can shuffle my workload to a Thursday instead so I can ride on Wednesdays.
Got the ride on video if you wanna see it ...

Hey Mcwild, what happened to you on Wed? You were behind me then you vanished ... Didn't know you were a magician too ...

[McWild]

Well although I am pretty amazing, I didn't wanna take the bike too far hence stayed at the back. Took a right turn at the Ferry rd/Tunnel rd roundabout and headed to Governor's bay.
Stopped at the pub there and had a coke while I waited for and eventually watched the WNR roll through.

I think I saw a couple of confused looks at the Pepsi parked up there too, was good for a laugh!

Not many better ways to spend an evening in summer, bar actually riding.


And wow you guys make a lot of noise!






Edit: Also, was I the only one to read the paper this morning? A nice big article on women riders, quite the entertainment. Was funny knowing all the people being mentioned. Good job Tracy, Helen, Donna and all!

When I asked him, he always answered yes it was good fun and would do it again..

Well he can go on your ride but he sure aint welcome on any ride I am on, I wont ride with a loose cannon like him (Geordie if you are reading this I mean you).

Glad he didnt put any for you at jepody like he did the year before.

It was a very good article. Not sure If I agree with Kiwibiker being called a club.

Yeah that was my one difficulty with it. I suspect it would have otherwise been difficult to describe to the average Your Weekend reader however. Ever tried explaining the concept of an internet forum to someone not at full grips with the internet?
Tis a challenge and a half.
