Wow! What a turn out. I think there was 55 bikes at the carpark, which equals our all time record set two years ago.

OMG that bike is awesome. I took it really easy last night but I'm already feeling at home on it. I was gutted when I got to work this morning, not only cause I was at work, but cause I wanted to keep riding!!

Now, who want's a Ninja?

"KP, I'm really sorry but I can't make it tonight, I have uni commitments that I can't get out of, Would it be all-right if we do our ride later in the week or year."

In this case "uni commitments" = party at the student bar. Well worded Eliot.

Congrats to KP! Well done! And with the added responsibility of being a camera person too!
Hope you got home ok, I peeled off by the hills ...

Thanks for trusting me with it! Although I imagine the footage will be very interesting.... I thought that you would have peeled off there, so thank you for babysitting me, hope you didn't mind the slow speeds. First time doing that run at night with me at the front. Amazing how the road looks completely different at night and the fact that I was tired didn't help, I certainly didn't appreciate the concentration needed for that ride. I was so glad to get home. Head hit the pillow and I had a great nights sleep!

Nope, my keys are goneburgers.

Replace it with an RFID chip in your glove... no more keys (but no more steering lock, if you give a shit about that on a gp rep), just wave your hand over the bike like a Jedi

[TuonoTom]

Also I think I passed the rider formally known as CBR250Tom crawling along on the way home, sorry if I caused you any concern. I didn't mean to pass you going into a corner like that. I thought there was more road before the corner. It wasn't until I was just past you that I flicked my high beam on and saw the corner properly.

Wasn't me, I didn't end up doing the ride because I was helping Andrew look for his keys...

Edit: Love your new bike Tris

I think you're very much onto an idea there... hmm....

[imdying]

Would be happy to help, could even build a couple of them.

So what did you get for yourself? I gathered as much that it is a Honda - and a CBR too as far as I can tell... But which year and which size?

[phoenixgtr]

It's an 05 600. Completely stock. It's cool

Good on ya for getting it!! few rides to learn the bike is always a sensable idea.

[FJRider]

sick only in the mornings ... ... ?????

Excellent taste Tris, except the colour, Honda's s'posed to be red duh!

[McWild]

Relative to my losing of my keys, I had a new set made up based on the petrol tank, but unfortunately they only work within the petrol tank and helmet lock, not the ignition barrel. Luckily I have a spare ignition barrel and key, but for some bizarre reason the manufacturer makes these barrels pretty bloody difficult to remove.

And so, if anyone on here has a large socket (to use on the triple clamp) and - I'm unsure of the correct name - but a tool that's sort of the inverse of an allen key, that I could borrow for tomorrow, I would greatly appreciate it. If this sounds like you you can PM me, reply on here, or give me a ring on 332 3943. I can pick up tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks.
