You guys looked pretty damn cool screaming past last night!

You may have spotted the ZX14 going t'other way. T'was I out for a familiarisation ride on the new bike. Hope to join you's in a week or so. (Still pissing my pants - the 14 is a big step up from the ZZR1100 I've had for 12 years....)

They're pretty awesome to ride though, I was on the other 14 going the other way, still breaking it in.....

And remember the last trip over Woodcocks in the 'Dark'.....

EJ I hope you rode your own ride and didn't try and play catch and chase with the big boys or did you scrape a little more of those pegs away and try and pop the piston out of that wee thumper

If i can get my ride sorted better for next week i'll keep you company if you like cause at the moment next Thursdays going to be free again for me

He did just right and gave the little bike what your supposed to give them! Thats why you NEVER name little bikes, just like you don't name cows you plan on eating.

Come out dood! Another Ho-bag for me to ride with!

I think a meeting in Auckland for all those interested about getting Frosty back as a moderator may have to happen this can be done on ATNR night for all those that hold this as a important Auckland showing there collectiveness on this issue.A mass email to spank maybe or maybe a petition what do you all think. For all those interested please email myself or Dawn and we will get back to you and turning up on thursday night would be great to discuss this issue and what to do about it , So lets hope for great weather so all ya turkeys turn up.

LETS GET A RECORD TURNOUT FOR FROSTY

Just come out dood, really, and if your worried about the pace just nominate yourself TEC. I did the first 2 times I went out, and once after that when I felt like a ride but just a cruise, get to know the roads and no pressure.

and if the plan is what I think it is you really should come on the next one! That or EJ will just be able to PM you how awesome it was and you can wish you were there again?

Yeah it was fun but some parts were quite scary lol
e.g. when my rear brake got locked while downshifting from high speed

lol

I don't blame my bike! lol It's suppose to be a "commuter"

So, you on GT250R (U know who I'm sayin), get ur ass here lol You've got a better bike so whats the doubt? lol
