Not saying have to go law breaking fast, but to have a decent (and safe) amount of space is impossible in a huge group.

yeah but then as soon as become pointer, get stuck behind the traffic, and have to go half the speed through all the good corners

Weather is looks promising for this Thursday. Showers clearing......

Hopefully Troy will put some of his awesome collection of bikes on show including:

A nice selection of 250 2-strokers (NSR, TZR and RS)
A couple of RZ500's
One Mint RC30 (VFR750)
Extremely tidy RZ250
Cute little NSR80

Shame the NR750 went to its new owner.....

However it sounds like a 2009 Vmax will be on the ride.

No worries.

Anyone wanting to go faster can overtake me and wait at the next intersection. Not like we are doing stupid speeds anyway.

Shall I seriously Invite our friend to the bbq?

Hmmmm, so I guess that is a negitave on the skids then.

Have a good ride and big ups to Troy for puting on the shin dig down at the shop, shame I cant be there might have been a good chane to score a set of tyres out of the parts dept while no body was looking

or at least get a good deal, but alas I have got my bosses piss to get shit faced on and I dont have to ride home

See ya all in the new year.
