Yeah when we got to Wellsford and saw "Across" on the tail, I suddenly thought "hey that's the bike that Yui was telling me about! The one he wants to get when he goes to Australia!" and the first thing I asked was to see the storage compartment.

Was a real sweet ride. Cheers guys for making it an mean day.
Awesome to meet some more bikers!

However some racist people kept calling me Charlie after Badger left....

Bro, count yourself lucky i wasnt there to add to it then!
I was actually quite impressed with your riding to be honest, pretty good lines, and keeping things nice and smooth, and keeping your speed through the corners well That is the secret to keeping your pace up on a cruiser, you learn fast young charlie... errr... padawan

Seriously though, i was pleased with the good behavior and quality of riding for the first few k's that i saw from TEC

Well, i've been out on the christmas party harbour cruise, and am pissed as a newt... just spent half an hour lying on the lounge floor mewing like a feral cat (RAWR!!! Rawr rawr raaawwwrrrr...) and this post has taken about 15 minutes to spell check, so i think some sleep is in order

Hope to ride with you all again soon!

[Badger8]

Yeah dudes, sorry about that, I felt like a right tool
A 12 pack of coronas and bike will be fixed by tuesday later, all was sorted.
Time to crank out the Specialized BigHit to work for the next couple days

Just bloody thankful I didn't fall off with the ass slapping.

Gah. Third time's the charm, eh TOTO?



A big thanks to all who stood around for half an hour, helped my bike onto the ute and especially badgjuh, for the nice ride into Kumeu!

GAH.

Yeah.
Hope you guys managed to ride sommat later!

No worries mate, anything for a biker in need

These things can happen to the best of us, and at the worst of times. The lesson for all of us to learn is, never be afraid to pull over. If something feels wrong, it most likely is! no-one knows your bike better than you... If something feels out of place, never be afraid to pull over, hop off, and give her the old once over. If she comes round a corner and doesnt feel right, take it REAL easy into the next one... if something is wrong again, for goodness sakes pull over... much better to discover the problem whilst stopped on the side than at 100kph! You did well to pull her over and keep it all together mate, a puncture can be scary stuff on 2 wheels. Glad you enjoyed the ride back to Kumeu, i always ride like a little girl with pillions on

[TOTO]

lol Just got back from riding.


Brilliant ride to waipu. Glad there was no major trouble and everyone kept it shiny side up. Would ride with any of you lot any day. For Those of you who either slept in, had a blown tyre, had to go to work or were in dying need to go murder some beers and couldnt do the whole ride , we will have to organise it again . May even incorporate it to my 250cc Northland loop I'm planning in a few weeks.

After we split from the ice cream place, we did the famouus Ridge road in albany - twice. first for fun and then to go back look for you MusicMan. anyhow , after that me and MenthalFacility ended up in albany gathering if the Hells angels. I was the oly hornet there - go figure

At the Hells Angels Mafia gathering we picked another KBer (King_Rider) on a Suzuki Bking and I led the boyos trough some of my secret albany twisties.

After the secret twisties, we went home so Toto could put some more layers of clothing on , and leave the white Princess and take the Hooligan out for a play.

Cruised on to the MoronWay till marae tae and I got shown how fast a CBR1000RRRRR and a B-King can go. and it is Bloody Fast. I neednt try to even think about keeping up in a straight line ( and loose me licence while doing it...).

Anyhow maraetai was nice. Got to kawakawa bay and we turned round coz it got too dark and we werwe too tired from all the riding. So we couldn't do the whole Kaiaua route and Hanua as I wanted so I'm in the process of organising a south side ride for monday. Will post the link up here if some of you is interested.

Gah. Third time's the charm, eh TOTO?

Must be some kind of unlucky charm on you when you come on my rides bro. As you said, maybe when you come for the third time you will hang till the end.

Keen for a Coro loop when I get back ending with a few beers.

I'm in, but you lead!

I'm assuming the rest of the ride went well

Sorry to have to cut and run - had free beer to consume at Galbraith's landlord shout.

Hope it was nice beer too

Hey are you the guy on the black bike and all black gear with black helmet and tinted visor? It should be you because your bike is pretty unique (Hornet with GSXR headlight). You ride down Nelson St and turn onto Fanshawe every morning eh? I often see you, you might've seen me with my little blue CT110 on the Nelson/Fanshawe St corner with the old public toilet building in the mornings, haha.

I saw your bike parked in the toilet on friday at 1:30 pm. didnt see you tho...

Meh couldn't wake up and bike needed few things to get done so I didn't go XD

Arggg missed the mighty Across!

However some racist people kept calling me Charlie after Badger left....

Charlie is a good name...whats racist bout that?

[Badger8]

So long as you didnt follow it up with "in the treeline" it's all good eh?
