Back to ATNR after 4 weeks off bike (overseas). Rode like a nanna (expected). Difficult "trying" to ride quickly at anytime, but at night its ..... dodgy. Stayed in comfort zone. Good company, but cant say I like the Speights Ale House, prefer the atmosphere of Bar Africa. Speights you feel like you are sitting in the car park. And there arent any decent chicks around.

Hey I thought that was you doing the not quite legal U Turn as I was coming round the corner from Motohaus. Mind you the manoveor that I did to cross the intersection probably wasn't quite legal either.

WAS NOT a close call by any means, I was quite impressed that after 2.5 years living in Auckland, I at long last have randomly encountered somebody that I know!!!!

Wadja mean? I was indicating!

(Fecking cages)

Good job we didn't get intimately acquainted!

There were some fine looking women at that pub on Thursday.
Almost as fine as that sunset we saw tonight.
A leftie to Helensville on the Thursday ride is a definite goer I reckon. Particularly once the days start getting longer and we can get to see the setting sun over the Tasman. Pretty cool view. I'm a sucker for good looks.

Well since everyone cant make up their mind on which pub - why dont we go and try somewhere else? Things to consider:

1. Perferably at the end of the ride. (Albany/Glenfield/Marangi Bay Area)
2. Parking for bikes, where they can be seen and not tampered with
3. Real Food has be available (not bar snacks!)
4. Resonable prices - Food and Drinks
5. Somewhere new. We have been to the Old Albany, Speights and Bar Africa.

Ideas please! Only interested in ideas from people who ACTUALLY go on the ride, thanks.

Have thought of the bar in the new Westfield Complex (but parking is a premium) there is another next to the Caltex Station on Mecari Way. Could try those bars down at the other end of William Pickering Drive...... How Ponamu in Northcote? Just bouncing ideas around....

**FROSTY:Me** · 11th May 2008, 14:29

throwing an idea out there. Any particular reason the ride has to end ova there?
Why not that pub topa nor western?

Lol, But the goss patrol

What about the brewery hellertau on riverhead coatesville highway, or the albany pub(used to be a hang out for bad ass bikers)

**Morcs** · 12th May 2008, 10:25

We could just try and bar every week and see how we go. adds a bit of variety too.

and that way, people will actually have to go on the ride to find out where we are going :P
