Many thanks for letting me join you today. It was a good day out for my first Summer ride and we took a few new roads for me so that was good.

Sorry I had to bail early. On the good side, I made it home with 30 mins spare to take my old computer for dumping, so I now have a clean(ish) space in the garage to fill with bike related junk.

Might see you on another one soon.

no worries
pity you could have cleaned up my garage

I am guessing you are talking about Thursday night's North Auckland ride, like a fool and against Hiss's advice and better judgement we went to meet for the South ride mainly cos it was posted on the KB events section (where as the North ride wasnt) and it seemed that more people were planning to meet for it but after riding all the way down there from Devonport on The North Shore and waiting for nearly an hour only one other guy was there,

thankfully he was a really decent bloke ( Jafar ), who took us through some twisties to some place that looked like a western saloon bar

then on down Pioneer Road and ending up at The Village Bar & Kitchen for the hot rod evening, was a good ride and a cool evening in the end (even if we did get f**king soaked on the way back home)

, but still cant help thinking we should have taken wise old Hiss's advice, lol.

Can someone please provide details about what is happening with the Sunday's ride this weekend please ?

like where to meet and at what time, many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Chaos.

Hi
Info on where to meet and when is on post 1

Next sundays ride will be on but I wont be there as im at hampton downs that day. I think most of the regulars will be at ART day, HD or dessert Storm.

Be helpful if those intending to turn up would post so newbies have someone to meet up with.

See you all the following weekend

Not that I am a regular any more, but I'll be at the ART day.

Chaos_Warrior, why don't you cruise on down to Pukekohe and have a look? Real friendly atmosphere.

I of course will be at the ART Day and so should you!!! For the first time I can remember we still have places for "on the day" entry into group one (newbies). Usually we are either booked solid or very very close to it.

Come on down and have a go, if you have never been on a track before or have been scared off by your last venture THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE. Its friendly, safe and well run. You'll get really great tutition, the chance to get your bike sorted out, lunch and smiles that will last for a long time.

The biggest buzz I always get is the change from nervous first timers to confident track bunnies in a single day, talk about raising your confidence and safety margins for the road, best investment you can get and probably the most fun.

good timing as I had a wee confidence knock on Thursday and although got straight back on my bike....well after my legs stopped feeling like jelly

have been over cautious since ....

I am fine, wasn't me, some other idiot smacked his car into a pole knocked it over the mw spun out and landed on the barrier

I was 1st on the scene little bit dramtic then the realisation kicked in i was 10 seconds away from being collected by him

my breaks work well

slow, shakey ride home

**Sharry** · 15th January 2011, 23:42

So glad your ok and managed to keep yourself safe Tania

it does shake you up a bit though eh.
Have a great day tomorrow

**zealchick** · 16th January 2011, 18:06

OK so i'm pretty happy with today (as everyone that attended ART should be) I got Most improved Rider for the day

Thanks Greg for all your advice and guidance clearly its made a huge impact on my riding

Very tired girl will sleep well tonight

**Sharry** · 16th January 2011, 21:48

Well done Tania, you are realy putting all your learning into practice girl

**OutForADuck** · 17th January 2011, 06:26

Great day yesterday at ART, the KB guys were tearing up the track, After a great discussion amongst the trainers, Tania took out most improved rider with comments like always on the right line now, always smooth and the real teller, biggest thing holding her back is the bike. At which point it was said if your riding better than the bike you win

Tania wasn't the only one though... A certain Ntox was ripping around the track, rear wheel steering through Jennians and trying to sign his name coming out of Castrol. It got so bad that an instructor had to suggest to him that his tires had had enough and he should consider going home

To his daughters birthday!!!

I think I am going to have to start taking instruction from Ntox!!!

The day was a scorcher and starting the day exhausted already I'm sorry if i seemed a little detached, I'm sure some people came up excited about how their riding improved and I was not as full of enthusiasm as usual. By the time I got home I didn't even have the energy to up pack.

Thanks for a great day guys.... always good to see you out there.
