We can make the call while were waiting at Ashhurst though, my idea can keep if need be, the road ai'nt goin' no where.

cul-de-sac? bit of an odd place for a ride innit?

20 odd bikes goin' round and round might be a laugh...

Would be good to have a route planned before everyone turns up, especialy for the late comers so they can catch up or meet us somewhere along the way.
I like organised, makes more sense of things, but ill go with the flow

ye olde halcombe hill, vinegar hill is always nice, in either direction

out colyton road, up kimbolton road to pemberton, across to ohingaiti, back through vinegar hill perhaps?

if pohangina east is reasonably tidy the apiti loop could be a goer and come back down kimbolton rd

Can't bloody wait till 6 lol be out there shortly going somewhere but nowhere
What time you usually get home Meanie ? I'f i'm en route to nowhere and up that way i'll wave (nah i'll stop in and drip oil on ya drive, hey its a triumph !)

Sucks that the only bloke local, that i know who's not working today is a lazy prick and don't rise till lunch time or i'd be out there now !

[Horse]

the return of the Manawatu's active ride threads and community

Yeah, good luck with that.

A huh, done a couple of mods to the bike, need to see if it's gonna break down or not.

I know how you feel

Friday Night Ride Review 10 October 08


An awesome ride. fantastic atmosphere. You guys blew me away, both literally and Metaphorically. Keep the system running.
26 Bikes at my count, terrific work at corners etc. Nice route through the windys with a blat down the straight towards the end.
I enjoyed being able to ride at a comfortable pace on an unfamiliar road.
Great social time At Murray's.

An A+ result Meanie. Thanks

4 Feilding Riders.

Blaardy primo ride tonight. 30 odd bikes, ideal evening, no one trying to prove a point. Stopped in to Dogs and Phebs to lower the 995i off the "workbentch" then on to Apiti though to Feilding for a natter at Murrys Irish Bar. Publican even threw in a couple of plates of fodder for the riders.

Well done all.

[GSVR]

Yeap good ride. Will be even better when the daylight is around longer. Good venue for the after ride too. The free food was a nice touch.
Wonder if Farmer Phil is still there taking "bikes" with that lady. The lone bike in the carpark after we left.

[banditrider]

Yep, nice night out. Bit chilly in places but was quite pleasant riding home. Got to try out the high-beam on the Honda and it was a pleasant surprise. Good to practice a bit of night riding (well 10 mins of it) - gonna see a fair bit of darkness pretty soon.

gonna see a fair bit of darkness pretty soon.

True - but not on the Honda!

[86GSXR]

Yeah, can't wait until the nights get a little bit longer, there are some seriously good roads out there just waiting for some evening riding.

Excellent ride tonight, long lines of some very classy machines, the MV Augusta is very, very nice

Great venue to end up at, thanks KiwiKat.

[Bonez]

Certainly a nice selection of bikes alright.

[Meanie]

Bloody magic ride, and it was awesome to see new faces turn up. Realy good to see the structure working as it should, everyone looking out for each other and some good sensible riding. The venue in Fielding was great and the it was a nice of the bar to give us some free plates. Have a feeling we will be back there again
