Hornet Swarm Night City

**gijoe1313** · 30th January 2012, 15:37

Well Baffa and I have finished the morning hornet swarm ride

Went up to Waipu via 16, on the way up, we stopped at the look out and had a great chinwag with some retired yank airforce guys. Last day of their tour around NZ and some great stories.

Plenty of twisties and gravelly bits to make things interesting, some plonkers who love to drive with half their vehicle over the center line as well!

I got to play on Baffa's sweet new ride, a nice fireblade, which was a joy to go back home on 16! (Of course, Baffa had to endure riding my Predator!

)

Played around with a car driver who thought he was a hot shot rally driver, quite amusing when another bike overtook all of us!

Baffa got into the spirit of things when he finally overtook him with ease over a long line of cars. I'm sure he will have fun relating the tale later to you all! (dang, he's also doing the evening ride meet as well! lucky lad!)

Was really really really good to have a bit of a ride after being bikeless for 35 days!

Have fun y'all!

Good ride. Rather interesting at the end there.

Proper hornet swarm - 4 out of 8 bikes there were Hornets.

So...just found out that football training has now started (well actually started last night...don't you love the fact they didn't tell me until today??)which at the moment is on Monday nights 6-8pm

This means I won't be Swarming until they change the days back to Tues and Thurs (lets all hope they do!!)

I will still be at NASS rides I believe! Hopefully there will be some opportunities to catch up on a regular basis

Fingers crossed they change training. Otherwise we might have to turn up on our bikes and rip up the football pitch so you can't train..

At this rate it'll save me some money!!

Heheh, well when Baffa and I rode past Waipu cove, I was kinda glad that Gremlin wasn't riding with us - the bikini clad girls would have seen him running his bike off into the beach and then the sea! (from my past experience when he almost didn't make a 35kph right hand turn due to bikini clad girls!

)

Sounds like an interesting turn of events at the evening swarm ride!
