some of you guys had helped with my 'wind issues...' in ferrymead...

Welcome to KB Mr Jekyll.

Ahem, wind issues? (mental note to self not to follow the Dr).

Have missed the last couple of rides, have had a twinge in my neck / shoulder and was hoping it would get better by itself, but finally am going to have it looked at next week. Might be a good excuse to get a masseuse ~ lol. I get withdrawal symptoms every time I hear a bike go past!

do you guys meet every wednesday night?
it tends to be my night to look after my little boy so I'll see if I can come to an arrangement if you are continuing through Winter night hours...

couldnt ya forks be straightened? most dinged up buckets dont have the corect forks in them, easier to butcher some others in like GSXR250

[DrJekyll]

More gutted than a gutted thing on national gutted day

there I was all psyched up to brave a ride tomorrow night with not having my boy... and I have to work a late shift at the clinic...

well aren't I just Lord Sluttedalot

[phoenixgtr]

Doh!!

And it's supposed to be a beautiful day too!!

[ShawNee1]

Anyone interested in doing the Greta Valley run tomorrow since the weather should be like today, a couple of us did it on Sunday didn't take long to get there and back to town?

[JMemonic]

Stuffed up and forgot to organise a shift swap, I will miss this week, have a good ride all.

[MyGSXF:Me]

Well that was a nice first ride, pity I slid off on a corner

It sounds to me like you need to find an empty car park, set up some cones and do a few hours practice at a safe speed.
If thats your third ? bin, then you are going way to fast for your experiance.

I know exactly where i went wrong, and 1st time off my bike. Put it down to inexperience at open road night driving. I approached a corner too fast, cos couldn't see round it well enough and just went off. I don't think cones around a carpark is gonna help. Next time I just gotta learn to be a bit more cautious and slow down.

A carpark with cones (along with fun & friendly professional instruction.. ) will make the world of difference.. shall I put your name on the list... (see thread below..)
