What we did was get right up behind the people in front then stop and turn the bikes off for a couple of minutes then same again.

I know...

but if you do the bike run first then the bikes don't have go at that speed... it will become to seperate parades in a sense

It won't be all that hot at the end of September - its not summer temps we are talking about here - as for the speed - mmmm - we could ride in an oval pattern going round and round with the oval gradually moving forward - some of you sports bike riders might be

with that though.
If we were really good we could do a figure 8 if we could avoid each other in the middle ??? - then at least we get to turn both ways

That might need some practise in a car park or quiet road - twood be easier after a few drinks??

Pat circulated them at the club meeting last night and i am guessing they will be in the newsletter next month. I wasn't worried about the cold - it was the way my motor missed after the big puddle (small lake) and my air filter was soaking wet. The club meeting also discussed a Club web site - so maybe in the future you can look at them on line - but not yet.

Finally got out on the bike yesterday, was only for about 45 mins while doing a couple of messages including an appointment at work, but it felt good.

Although legs sure are not used to it.

Now just need a huge fan to blow the rain away and I'll be happy

It sure was cold, without being a member of the OMC so no new letter a web page would be good - especially for upcoming events

Sunday 13th July, Wayne, owner of Honda Otago, broke his leg & has had it pinned.
He was just about to leave for the UK release of the new Triumph Thunderbird 1600cc. Bummer eh.

Sure is a bummer. Don't suppose he wants someone to go in his place? (hint)
