ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Pumba]

So who will join me?

Well the answer to that question is no bastard.

Was a fun dry ride though. I did stick my head in at the pub but noone was tere and two double decker party buses had just unloaded and although the view wasnt half bad the three deep at the bar put me off hanging around

[Qkkid]

It's not like you would have turned up anyway is it?

Up yours

If there is bugger all turn-out I might shoot down to the AMCC instead.

Had my day in court last Thursday - finally, after two years of hassle, expense and worry.
The ATNR nemesis (ACD868) had come to my place at 10.30 at night and said he had seen me speeding on the ATNR three weeks before and took my licence off me.
One months disqualification, 6 court appearances over two years, briefing two counsel and he doesn't bother to show on the day.
He had punished me without having to show; and without having to perjure himself.
He sent copies of some of my KB posts to show that since I had pissed him off he would make me pay.
JP told me it was my lucky day! And it probably was since it appears you have no defence when it is your word against the accuser.
By waiting three weeks instead of stopping me on the night he ensured I had no defence. Could not for instance show him my GPS log to show I had not been going at the speed he alleged. He followed me for 39.5 km. On two occasions he was within 50m of me while I was telling the pointers he was behind me. Passed us at the Dairy Flat regroup - still didn't do anything. But he obviously got a bit upset about some of my posts.
Well lesson learned. No longer will I refer to him by disparaging names like the Ginga Coont or suggest that his badge number is the new number of the beast etc. That behaviour is no longer acceptable and I shall refrain from this day forth.
Onwards and upwards.

You might as well come over for a catchup at the bar on Thursday. I guess with the feeble numbers on the ATNR, our mate has found larger fish to fry.

[Morcs]

Ginga is a coont.

I said it.

[Qkchk:Me]

Ginga is a coont.

I said it.

Yeah but you know him on a first-name basis.

So who is coming out for a play tonight?

Testing some winter gear to prep myself for the Queens Birthday run to Turangi. Guess the temp at night will be somewhat similar to daytime temps down there next month.
