Manawatu Rant n Rave

[yod]

Might have to skip it. There's a slim possibility that I may make it tomorrow though. Would only be going as far as Hawera and then turning off up to Inglewood. Still playing it by ear though.

Great night for a blat!

Yeah we've got it all wrong - the working week should be 2 days long with a 5 day weekend.

You can be leader of the country any day mate coz I like the sound of that!

[NZsarge]

Shit mate....I doubt it some how, i'm all over the place like a fart in a bottle at the moment. Got a 850-900k ride over through the Naki tomorrow, but there are other plans afoot, maybe gonna duck off half way through that ride and shoot over to Gizzy yet! Make a two day ride of it. It's all up in the air at the moment though.....

Not goin to the east cost, well at least not tomorrow anyway so i'll be in for the whole ride.

[NZsarge]

Wakey wakey!!!

Dunno if I'd be that great - I gave up a 4-on/4-off job for 5-on/2-off

Where's everyone? Don't tell me you all got abducted by aliens in backwoods Taranaki, for them to figure what these motor thingies are that we keep banging on about...

The last five pages everyone's talking about this amazing ride coming up yesterday, but Sun night - silence...

It was a good ride to. Be going back up there at the end of the holidays to drop girl back again. I might have to see how the money tree is holding up weather I go for a wander or just get up there and back.

Hey Roger, Youll need to keep an eye on the Meetings and events page and look for anything with Manawatu rides or Ashhurst rides, sometimes someone will post another thread We got a trip to Gisbourne planned soon you maybe keen on

Yup copied across - cause i can

well simply awesome ride today

after promising 86 choccy cake if he got his ass outta bed this morning to join english & I at manfeild .. & a few hours later (not organised that boy ) Sarah & Al finally made an appearance. Watched some great racing & caught up with a few of the kbers before we decided a quick flick on my new playground would be a great way to end the day .. as we gassed up the hawkes Bay crowd also came through so decided to hook up to Ashhurst .. Mstrs & Tart decided to head off ahead .. so with myself in the lead (just for a change ) robertydog, gixxer 4eva, wasp27 & donna, 86 2 up with sarah, english .. hmm & I think I am missing someone else .. off we stormed .. caught up with Mstrs & just tucked in behind him .. at Ashhurst lots of toots & waves as we seperated ..

86 with english hot on his heels disappeared into the distance over the saddle .. well perfect time to practice some of sugi's lesson .. so slowed down & decided to play

hooked up again on the main road .. quick stop for refreshments & off through Ballance & the track .. OMG Betsy in the lead again .. now getting ones Mojo back after a bin or ... well damn sugi has hmm taught me well used the whole road & glad there were no boy racers on the wrong side of the road today.. & it felt blardy fantastic .. English & 86 can give their perspective but from my grin .. well that said it all .. took it fairly easy on the eastern side of the track but coming down the western side .. well lets just say thats the fastest i have ever cornered or gone & it felt just damn awesome ...

after saying our goodbyes even had a spirited ride back to shannon ..fed the horses & shot off to Levin for dinner ..

just need to practice some more twistie stuff .. but figure with daylight savings starting the block will get a bit more practice .. then there is dogs playground with grit on corners .. that will be the next practice ground ..

[Bonez]

Keep the practice up girl.

[chanceyy]

Keep the practice up girl.

cheers bonez ... with daylight saving around the corner will be out & about every other day riding this new block .. may drag one or two other "senior" riders out for a bit of company & practice

What about the Para Para's for a nice 50k wind up? then back again for some fun? did it on the way to Cold Kiwi this year and it was great, would be more fun without all the stuff on the bike too

Saw you guys at the racing today but was unable to get out of the stables to say hi, one to many "hiccups" from the guys I was with, every time i was going to come over something else went wrong, nice to be needed though
