Deary me..glad it wasn't one of our lot!

Funny how that stuff seems to follow you around eh? Thats what we are trying to escape from down here but I guess it good to "Tar roads while the sun shines..." as long as do it now and not later in summer.....

See you @ Walkworth.....

**Morcs** · 22nd November 2007, 16:11

Could be a presence of Roadworks. Parts of the usual ATNR are in gravel/limestone however we should miss the majority of it this week. (With all this good weather they should be sealing the roads sometime this week)
Second mention about Tinted Visors. Feel free to use but take into consideration that we will be having dinner at approx 8.30pm so IT WILL BE dark when we leave the premises. Probably wearing sunglasses and a clear visor wouldn't be a bad idea.

Rant Over.

ps Great ride tonight, hope the 2 guys who had an 'incident' are ok...

**westie** · 22nd November 2007, 22:16

Saw quite a few coppers around the bar africa albany area tonight. Some in a black holden hiding in the bushes. One following us stopped then kept following again.
Its getting to be quite the hot spot for getting picked up by cops if thats what you're into.
Unfortunately I missed out tonight. Lol

**mitchilin** · 22nd November 2007, 22:29

I'm apologising for my neighbour to the guy from Silverdale who offered to get his ute and pick up his crashed bike.Reuben after doing a postmortem on his off decided to ride it back.He called me a the pub to try and find someone who knew you to try and phone you ,but apparently it was your first time.I reckon he owes you a beer or twenty for your good deed.How he rode home still has me fucked.

Another brand spanking new gixxer for the scrapheap....

**mitchilin** · 22nd November 2007, 22:50

The zxr1200 made it home.Someone saw the gixxer(?) being loaded onto a trailer.His rear brake siezed and I could smell brake pads for a hundred metres.I felt like a cunt for leaving my mate there but I was tail end charlie and had conflicting emotions.Really I justed wanted to ride my new bike that I just got a couple of hours earlier.The TL has got me absolutely gobsmacked.I should have got one years ago.You guys are a bad influence.I was happy with the katana until I went on the ride last week....
