Chch Wednesday Night Cruises 2009-10

I guess it is still greta for the evening. Being out this way I guess ya'all pass woodend around 6.50 7.00pm'ish, so I might just head out there and wait and clip on to the throng. Just over from the BP servo...

[Flip]

Bugger and bloody hell, I didn't get out of work in time again. This job is the curse of the working class. I have made arrangements to be free next week so I can pop out. Where we going?

[KiwiPhoenix]

I wouldn't worry Flip, there were a few missing tonight, I didn't go either. Hope you all had a nice ride?

So, next week, where are we headed??

[Ghost_Bullet]

It was an awesome fresh night out, rockin, got down to a mighty 5 degrees over the Ashley bridge on the way home, and 9 degrees poping from Waikari through to the valley. Good for getting intot he groove of the 30th Brass. Bring it on uh.
heated grips are awesome, but in saying that ya still need good gloves, otherwise the backs or ya hands are gonna get chilled.

And the griso made it back, no ignition key issues... maybe it was just the fear it had that I might strip the poor girl naked again. hehe.

Cheers peoples

Ooooh I would have thought diarrhea is a bad thing.

Hot grips will go some way to cure to that. back in 07 i did just that.

Good ride tonight although some were missing and missed. Chilly describes the conditions!!!!

And on the way homeNo probs officer just lemonade tonight

Next week how about "The Hop" via the summit road, port, gebbies, old tai tap rd, etc.

The week after is our last WNR for this seasonI was wondering about Duvauchelles???????? What think the crew??????

[maxf]

Yes, thank god for putting on the thermals before going - and for heated handlebars; hot pie from GV was soon history, I reckon. On the other hand, as the Pet Shop Boys put it, "Driving through the night is so exciting!" and at least there weren't any swarms tonight... apologies for those I ended up following too, I think the headlight was a tad "assertive" (read high) so I've dropped it a bit now.

All in all a good ride - which I wasn't expecting watching the black clouds roll over the Port Hills this morning...

[brp]

Yeah I did the same with mine, road trip to the north island to look at 3 , then week later a mint one for sale in greymouth that had never been off road, deal was done on the spot , loaded into old work van and home. Problem is the good ones are well sort after and don't last long on the market. Same when I sold it , got 1k more and gone 1st day advertised.

"Road trip" you were a keen man - Good Stuff !

Speaking of greymouth, I scored a motard set up yesterday from there for 9 hundie, thought good deal - same value for tyres, sprockets, chain, disk alone.

Traffic officer last night ? Where was the wee ecilop ?

Cheers to Mr Daytona for the extra light sitting in behind on the way home, one of those old school bicycle dynamo's would throw out as much light as the current set up



Saturday rides ? Wouldn't ya get a better turnout making it a sunday ride with a lot of people working saturday's ?
