[QUOTE=DEATH_INC.;1907533] the twat has tried to do both of us for the same thing, because he only had a couple of digits of the plate of the offender so he obviously doesn't have any idea who it was, so really can't prove anything.

right there bro!!!

Thanks Mark For the Pics

DH - the mono you do is really impressive - maybe will come for a lesson when I'm up to it

Cherio for GunnyRob and YMR6L for taking care of the quick group too

Thanks To MadBikeBoy for providing some menthor advice and looking after riders too, on ya Mike

And also a BIIIG thanks to Badger who was TEC for the Learner ride, and took care of everyone

Badger (or was it Fizbin) - what happened to the sand shoes you "obtained" - ask if someone misses them or you wanna keep to yourself ?

No worries cuz, always happy to chill out at the back and help out learners. We all gotta start somewhere, and it's nice to be able to pass on my learnings and experience to the new flock

i 'acquired' them, stuffed em in fizbin's pack. So if anyone left a pair of sandshoes behind, fizzy has them. If not, he stole someones shoes!

**TOTO** · 26th January 2009, 22:14

FIZBIN has somebody's sand shoes - ask him to give them back yall , or he will use them for when he rides squid style...

I think the highlight of that was convincing you that it was all Gwinch's fault... and you completely believed me... right up until I explained he only appeared joined in from the 2nd stop at Dargaville, south.

Ta TOTO... good ride, enjoyed myself. While you guys were swimming and stuff, I was off checking roads, finding paper roads and discovering unmapped roads. Found that a lack of tread on the rear tyre is fun, but useless in gravel, but didn't come off despite plenty of wheelspin... umm.. everywhere. Then I managed to fall over when my foot slipped on the station forecourt, in front of everyone. A+ for effort
