Budall I got of you as you went past was a blur of the tail section of your bike
Bugger about stacking the FXR:slap:

I was talking about one of those funny round things that shine light out of them that was a victim

Having finally made it to one of these rides I made some observations and have quite a few suggestions for further rides particularly for younger riders wanting to learn, the location of the departure point, and a couple of other points that should be considered in the future
Well we had a fun night toodling along near the back of the pack on the way out to Diamond Harbour. OK, we WERE the back of the pack. It was only Mrs Oakie's second time past Lyttleton so it was just a road learning / confidence building night for her so watching the tail-lights dissapearing in the distance mattered not a jot to us.
We spent a nice hour with our friends at Purau but I had this guilty feeling that I should have popped into Godley as we went past just so you knew we got there safely. My bad!
Heading back we got to Godley and saw bikes started up and ready to roll so we just carried on back via Lyttleton and Evans Pass.
Grow older but never grow up
I had a nice evening, was very tempted to split off on the way back and do the dirt road from Port Levy to Little River as I still had my dirt tyres on, but I resisted and had a nice run back too.
It was of course quite dark on the return run as we left the Port Levy leg quite late after first having food at Diamond Harbour.
Note that the man at the bar suggested we call them and let them know we are coming again next time, but I think they did ok getting the chips everywhere they needed to go.
Chin up Dave, corners are harder to judge in the dark. I'll be popping back up there soon to have another look.

Thank you and hopefully can make next week too.![]()
It's all good mate, it's a nasty little bend that tightens up halfway through... one of the best riders I know has come to grief there. You weren't speeding, or riding silly, I suspect it might have just caught you out as you were thinking how nice it'll be to get home... I sometimes find that I need to actively refocus my brain after a wee while, I just get in a groove and pay insufficient attention at times.
It was great to see you all there. It was only a short ride for me as I live over that side of the city. I did see a cop at 830pm nailing it, in Governers bay going out, I thought he might have been going to see one of you's.
They wont listen Man (a couple of the not so younger ones will tho) nearly every time I try and sugest, comment, change things they go crying to the mods and I get my ase kicked for suposidly going off topic (fuking rot) Its not worth the trouble they no best.
HUH... the 1st right hander on the west side from the Kiwi??? ya joking its a very simple corner, smooth, positive camber and wide (often light shingle hard into the amco but you shouldnt be anywere near that)
