Manawatu Rant n Rave

[manwithav8]

[QUOTE=cowboyz;1262146][COLOR="lime"]Just go down to woolys and get a little pink packet of HTFU.

Mate, my seat slops towards the tank with no releif which = nuts crush at every application of the brake. Now, put the Mrs on the back, she slides foward aswell so double the weight on the old fellas kissing the tank... There was a few times on the ride to Lower Hutt I have to push the big guys back down from the neck lol....

Don't get me wrong though, that won't stop me riding, might just stop me having kids lol

Yeah, dead keen. My mate (Blue Bandito) wants to hit it too. He's a shift worker though so may be tricky to tee it up. Be nice to do it one weekend so we can rope in a few more bikes...

I'll have a chat with him and maybe it can be one of the next Manawatu Rides...

Yeah i'm down with that.

So Mrs V8 not too keen on the outdoors then

Ah..oh..not to be the wet flanell type but I wont be so keen if it's an overnighter, might check it out over the xmas shut down at work.

bloody hell...everybody organising rides without my supervision



anybody decided if they're heading up Taupo way this weekend with cowboyz?

I know I said I was'nt going to go but i'm umming and ahhing it over at the moment, certainly not 5am though. If I do go it'll be at a more reasonable hour maybe 8:30 to 9ish.

Saw a brand new "08 R1 in Hewitt's in Vegas this morning all black and sexy, a few changes from the '07 that make quite a difference. A local guy is trading his '06 ZX10 on it....wise man!

Oh I see. The difference being I dont use the brakes and/or I have smaller nuts. No, it must be the lack of braking thing.

And who said not having kids was a bad thing?

FFS. I am going to have to get bigger mirrors....

Now why would you need bigger mirrows when they would alll be in front of you

oh yeah too see how open the road really is behind you

[86GSXR]

I guess I like to enjoy my ride, remember what I rode passed instead of getting home and saying "huny the view was awsome, the blur was amazing" lol..

Besides, I paid enough for the bike, using the brakes is just getting my dollars worth lol
