Yea we should be at the carpark next week and so on. Or just drinking

Unfortunately I spend more time clocking up airpoints instead of being home... I might be around home next month.
I'll make sure I bring some drink. Raro anyone?

Bugger and that means less seat time too!

I guess I make it up in other ways.... but yeah, I don't have many weekends either. But its rewarding in the long run.

Never mind, I'll bring my flash new wheels down another night.

New wheels? Tell us more

What happened? PM me

Nothing happened.. more what could have happened. Mainly I just wanted to point out the group riding thread as I think it's really useful and knowing what's contained in it would help make the experience even more enjoyable than it already is!

But different groups have different rules.

I mucked one up on a cycletreads ride and Toto got grumpy with me.

I didnt bother to tell him im deaf and couldnt hear what he said.

They should have contrasted it by showing the same bike with a motorcycle tyre. But yes, I don't think there is much comparison between using a tyre designed for the application of using it on a motorbike, to that designed for a four wheeled vehicle being mis-used on a motorcycle.

Car tyres have a flat contact area,even in the vidio you can see that most of the tyre is off the ground. A sports tyre has a pointy contact area this gives the tyre less foot-print when upright but when leant over in a turn there is the maxim foot-print when you need it. I would like to see the demistration done at pace in the wet.
The only time that you fit car tyres to a bike is when it has a side car,I think the reason is obvious.

Hey all, earlier in the month I mentioned the possibility of a ride up north. I am not doing this now, instead, my wife and I are riding down to Napier to see family. If anyone else wants to organise a ride up north over Auckland anniversary weekend, feel free
If anyone knows of a nice way to go to napier on the bike, in one day, I would welcome suggestions other than the normal via taupo route.

This a happening thing tonight? do you go far? Need a full tank?

We meet at a service station, so if in doubt ... fill up.

We might split the group in two tonight. A might take a shorter ride (30 minutes) so the car park session happens, and some people might like to go for a longer ride (sometimes an hour).

[nzspokes]

Sweet, I will try to make it. I will be up for the hour ride.

OK, listen up people. It would be wise to avoid OLD North Rd. there is new seal laid today between the one way bridge and just before the bottom of the nice S bends that wind up to Peak Rd intersection.

AND there is pea gravel all the way up the S bends hill almost to Peak Rd.

I don't think this would be a good time to test the newbies on gravel.

Rick.
