Wednesday Night Ride

[Gibbo89]

Hey guys and gals

i know its a bit late but i was wondering if any of you knew what the name of the road was that i crashed my bike on, on the way to akaroa that evening. and what the posted speed limit was? i dont really remember the night very well so any info you could give would be great.

Thanks

Wasn't is just past little river? so i am assuming it had just turned into a 100k area. someone will post soon what the speed limit was.

As others have said the road is the CHCH Akaroa Rd. Where you crashed the posted speed limit is 100K/hr.

I hope you are feeling better.

How is the bike??? and when are you coming out again???? safely!!!

hey, thanks for that! bike still isnt looking too good, went on holiday to auckland for a week so didnt get around to sorting the insurance till now, i'm pretty confident its a right off though. i'm really missing biking and i cant wait to get back into it, just a matter of when the insurance company will pay up

maybe this is your next bike:

but the price should be slightly negotiated first I reckon

edit: after a good payout I mean

[helenoftroy]

Your CBR will be looking pretty damn sweet once the tank and decals are put on. I wasn't meant to be enticing hurrie to the random mc22!
More the fact that he has now crashed a mc17, mc19 - so the next step is the mc22 you see just don't crash the next Honda mmk?

Oi Helen, you know how we were talking bout hoping to make it back to Chch without having to top up the petty? Well, on the final bridge/overpass thing before hitting Belfast... guess whose bike started to cough and act like a fag?

Had to stop and put her to reserve, then needed to wait a bit before the bike wanted to start (flicking to reserve is not instant it would seem )

I did the same run in the winter on the Sat ride, but did not encounter this problem(of running dry). I reckon it might have been from me pushing the wee Zeal pretty hard on the way to the pub (just cantered back to Chch on the way home) and that made the difference, oh and maybe 8k was already on the tripometer (I think that's the word I'm after).

Cheers flip and mrs flip for pulling over to see if I was ok etc. good people you two

[helenoftroy]

No sure specter!

Did you slot in with a wee group of us before Woodend?Dave on the R6 was at the front?

[Gibbo89]

possibly, I think I might have noticed it on Marshlands Road and wondered if your lights were on or if it was just me not noticing from the angle of the sun etc.

I just swapped my back light. It's $10.47 from supercheap auto at the moment. (as long as your bulb and mine are the same)

Hes just a track whore show off!
does sound awesome....

Yes do get a new bulb!

[Mully Clown]

Yeah that was specter with the dead lamp.

Is it just me or is the ride home just about always more enjoyable? No stops, full belly and just had a booze/sugar/caffeine fix. Oh, less commuters as well.
