+1 to Big Al
excellent night out, thanks to Donna for a good choice of restaurant - not too expensive and great food.
(afraid I'm not really bothered who won)

Awesome night out, with great company and a bloody cracker of a game to boot. Well done guys and girls of the LOR.

Gotta agree with every one else. Good night out. Disappointed in my other half not "sucking it up" so we could pop back to the Cook as well. I dunno, some people just think of only one person

Saturday 11 Areas of morning cloud or fog, then fine breaks. Rain developing during the evening. Northeasterlies gradually freshening.
Sunday 12 Rain, easing to a few showers during the morning with winds turning lighter northerly.
Monday 13 Rain or showers. Light winds.

Talk at clubrooms last night was "its about time for a ride"
Sunday forecast does not look good so maybe a decision will be made on the day.

If anyone interested and weather looks OK meet at the Kingsgate Hotel Carpark at 11.00 am and might go for a pootle to Okoroire.

No promises but if anyones keen turn up and see if anyones there. Could be a good afternoon to spend at the clubrooms????

Is the venue licensed? (i.e. can I get booze) and is there further discount if arrive in drag?

Yes it is licensed - not BYO though - Drag will cost you more

On a more serious note, now I have 6F - im naturally after a slightly bigger cruiser type bike, less than a 600cc due to rego costs. My current sights are on a honda shadow 400cc buts its in the south island. so am looking for something similar like a drag star, bollyvard etc.

Even if theres something at a shop - which suits me better 'cause then i can trade in the mighty (but trusty) hyo.

Is there much of a power difference from 250cc (mine screams on 8k rpm doing a wopping 110km) to a 400cc?

Dont compromise capacity for what you really want, realistically you are talking around 2 bucks a week difference in rego cost. Have you thought of trying something different from a cruiser? Not necessarily full on sports either.

Totally with you on that one. No point missing out on something you're gonna love riding just because some prick says it's too "dangerous" and charges you accordingly. If didn't have the daytona because of the rego...no, it's just not worth thinking about

To be honest, I pay less rego now since they put it up over a year then before. It just made me more realistic as to when I actually ride.

Go for a ride on what you really want, then work backwards. If you feel a 400 is little difference to a 600+, there's your answer.

Just checked and since i put the rego on hold for winter, I will now be "in front" in the event of a ticket (havent figured in the cost of the points but currently not a concern)

am looking for something similar like a bollyvard

Is that like an Indian manufactured Suzuki?

Well boys and girls. Only 8 days until my bike his fully legal again. Road and LOR rides await
