hehe When Baybeblade2250RR, Breakaway and I was about to leave, Mav told me "Hey I should organise a Newbie ride ey, remember this ride was NOT a newbie friendly etc etc..."


AARRGH!!!

I know I was struggling but it was MY BIKE not me! lololol
Seriously I can handle 25-35 corner at EASE but on the straights, it's absolutely Donkey Bum Hole!

Ah MAN! I so hate my bike.... Even Skidmark laughed at my bike! (ofcourse he would lol)
It's so disappointing! Fahurk! lol
It really upsets me that I can hardly overtake a car!

I guess this bike is not designed for these weekend rides

aaah... sigh....
How am I going to survive this Rotovegas ride on Saturday?

Your bike would be a hellacious flick machine for the corners. I wouldn't listen to Mark either, he still has chicken strips.

Will post more about the day later. Needless to say it was a pleasure meeting the faces behind the handles and taking the Hornet for a decent length ride.

007XX, squirt more next time please. I was cooking.

I'd like to say thanks to everyone who rode and to everyone who turned up for the BBQ afterwards. We had a great time. Unfortunately for you lot the buyers of our house have pushed the hand over date back to 2nd November so we'll be here for 5 weeks longer than anticipated.

Gotta love the roads out to Whangamata thoughnice xonditions too.

You were fine. Next time go near front of pack as it's harder following. Don't be goaded into risky overtakes and going into corners too hot to try and keep up the big bikes. Better you arrive 5 minutes later than not at all (and it will only be 5 minutes)

Good to see ya'll. Hope yous all had hangovers. Pulled a u-turn just after Opoutre. If it had been twisties on way back I probably would have went to BBQ.

Hi all, just to say I joined the ride yesterday as well. It was a great sunny day and I enjoyed the ride very much. I've only clocked up about a thousand 'kays since I got my bike in June but yesterday I clocked up nearly 300 in a day.... so apologies for being a bit tired looking, I had chronic cramp in my leg and a headache from squinting in the sun all day, will bring sunnies next time...
It was the longest and fastest I have been out on my bike and it was great expierence for me, and a big thumbs up to Donor for being tail end charlie and taking up my considerable slack.

Great day, Cheers!
