    As your attorney, I advise you to take a hit out of the little brown bottle in my shaving kit. You won't need much, just a tiny taste.
    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    Who mentioned racing anyway, I just said I'd be happy to show you the ol' ninja 250 can get past the mighty 120kmph !

    I most definitely don't condone exceeding speed limits..

    In my experience, organising rides - especially large ones- are very stressfull for the organisers - par of the course unfortuanately, especially when the group is as diverse as it. But that is also why the responsibility needs to be spread so that all of the yobs get to have a go at just going along for the ride. Just know that the effort is appreciated Jamie (and Mav)

    There is a time and a place for everything...well most things. However, speed and be prepared to wear it - by the cops or the road. I am no PC fella though - the whole speed kills thing is getting tiresome, I am not a criminal for doing 111kph.

    Yeah, I know.. it was more just a dig, I don't even know where the mention of racing came from !

    It came from me. Nothing like a hoon round a track with lovely big runoffs to learn the limits of your bike and gain fluency in control of your bike.

    I've done 2 track days and am a much better rider for it. Had help from my Mentor at the track days too which helps (otherwise you can end up developing bad habits).

    On these 2 fiddy rides there is very little opportunity for true Mentoring from anyone as the stops are too infrequent and too short (normally we don't have bins)

    If you can get a Mentor you trust it's useful to follow their lines but it's important to look through corners too and if you're too busy watching a back wheel that can be your undoing.

    If it's in Paeroa, and there are hay bails and it's Battle of the Streets then why not?

    Just a bit of a knee jerk reaction on my part to hearing that people were popping wheelies and stuff on Mav's ride. I wasn't witness to these events and hope it was somewhere straight and with good visibility but it reflects badly and is part of the reason I ain't organising another ride.
