TCWNR - Wellington 2006/2007

[Freakshow]

Stu (TSS) says "Oh, that's Fatjim - just go out there and say 'This is for FAT Jim'" (his emphasis, not mine!). The poor guy gulped, thinking he might be being sent to his death - walking into a group of leather clad bikies and calling one of them fat - and I'm sure I saw him say a short prayer before he headed out the door...

I did see him arrive at the table a bit nervous

errr ummm....that was me....sorry.

Nothing to be sorry about as you gave plenty of room, I had done a real quick take off and then was shown my place

Some thing to look forward to

I remember my first footpeg scrape on the 'takas, had just got it down and was feeling quite chuffed then cowpoos comes flying past and plants his knee in the next corner

[Uncle B]

Sorry, I'm possibly coming over a bit harsh. Point taken; sorry Bruce.

Hey, no worries......next week I'll ride with you.

Looking forward to it - and working out who you are. Mine's the bike held together with gaffa tape :-)

I think the pressure comes from not keeping up, feeling left out, being worried about forgotten and left behind and ofcourse the feeling of competition.

I remember that when i was a total newbie i felt the same thing, i had to keep up or i'd be left behind in the middle of nowhere with no one to help me if it all went wrong

Yep, but then I started out doing a couple of TRTNR's. Not so good for a newbie.

There will always be someone who will wait.
That's what makes the Welly crew so good to ride with.

Hear hear

how about we appoint a newbie officer each night? its their job to ride with the newbies and make sure their all right, ideas anyone?

Agree

What about riding buddies? pairs of 2 people of similiar ability that stick together, kinda like what me and pgtr used to do anyway.

I think that worked cause we were riding at similar levels. You would prob kick my arse now.

The bottom line is, theres always going to be people riding at different levels. The important thing is that those that are less confident get looked after

How's this for an idea

Meet at the usual time and place, 5 min before departing we decide on the night where we are going. Majority vote rules, destination will depend on numbers, weather etc......
Each ride we will need a lead rider and a sweeper, if no one steps forward, again, majority vote rules.

This way everyone has an input and can voice any concerns.

Just a thought.

Good plan Uncle B, although if tomorrow is anything like today I doubt we will need to implement it tomorrow

[Hitcher]

Here's an idea. Let's do it tonight.

[Str8 Jacket]

Im guessing that no one is keen to ride tonight?....

[Wasp]

Weathers looking up........ gimme a bike.........

[phoenixgtr]

[Pex Adams]

The boss is shouting drinks!

So now that Fatjim and has bottomless Colostomy bag have buggered off to the Darkside, the rest of us might have a chance of getting some now!

Have a good ride guys.

Suspicious circumstances...

I found it had met the ground when I came out of my exam on Saturday.

Yet another mirror to replace. Thats not so bad, but the foot peg has snapped off. The solid piece of metal broke right through. So now I have to find a new one. I'm gonna try Buckets n Bits today
