Badjelly's inaugural KB ride - Sunday 25 May 2008

[DingoZ]

Ya bugger. Ya coulda picked a different day. Otherwise you coulda stopped in at mine (on the way back from the nooey coast) for a coffee, but I Will be just outta hospital on Saturday and not able to ride the bike for a month or two, and not feeling like company....


Next time...

Well, that's handy. I wouldn't want you to have to travel for this.

While your concern is touching, you needn't worry. I'm sure I could handle a wee pootle around the valley before my afternoon nap time.

[Badjelly]

Badjelly's only got a limited pass from Mrs Jelly,

Oh man, are you going to get me into trouble! She would not be amused by "Mrs Jelly". Let noone speak of this.

Heh!

I'll give you a yell on Saturday to arrange our departure time and location, etc, and one of us can update the thread thereafter for anyone who feels like tagging along...

Edit: Weather forecast is still poo, though. Here's hoping The Computer is wrong.

[Badjelly]

Meeting at the bottom of the Wainuiomata hill, Wainui side, 1 pm.

Great weather for visiting the south coast!

[CDFloss]

Anyone else tagging along (or welcome to tag along)? Would like to get a ride in today, but don't want to slow anyone down.

PS: BadJelly, do you commute on the scorpio? I see one every now and again coming over the hill.

It's not all about you, however given the weather and the type of ride (small bikes, and a 750 with a pillion) it's not going to be a MotoGP race is it?

As it turns out, I thought I had a lot more to do to get the NZ running. If I'd bothered to WoF and rego it last week I could have come too, adding another 250 single to the mix

Don't worry about slowing people down, just make sure you know where people are going and ride your own ride.

Its not? Aww crap.

Yeah I guessed it wouldnt be a race, but I'm new 'round these parts (KB) and have had less than awesome experiences in the past turning up for "group drives" with certain car clubs in the past, and then being ignored or given dirty looks cos I wasnt one of the established club old-timers.

I've got 2 sick little girls at home, so wont be able to get a long-term pass from the Mrs anyway, so if I can get away by 1 I'll head to the bottom of the hill, else will take a ride down the coast to see what I can see.

Cheers

[Badjelly]

Now meeting at 2 pm. Sorry for late notice.

As I said in previous message, jrandom & I are now meeting at 2 pm. I will head over now and see if anyone is waiting there, but won't get there until 1:20 pm. I'll be on a blue Scorpio, red & black riding gear, red & white helmet. It definitely won't be a MotoGP.

dont let KF see this

[James Deuce]

Dan left about 5 minutes ago. The weather looks like it may even be lifting a little.

Have fun chaps.

Which would explain why 30min of assiduous lurking produced not a single 'cicle...

[riffer]

I had to scrub in a new Storm today (front) and after half a day's begging got a 1 hour passout to sort out the bike. I headed on up the takas about an hour ago. It's fine until Kaitoke Park turnoff then just spitting lightly. There's a little bit of diesel on the hills (mainly spots here and there - pretty normal) which doesn't affect a brand new tyre so I don't imagine it'll give people riding to the conditions any trouble at all.

Enjoy your ride guys.

[CDFloss]

Good fun, thanks guys.
