Kiwi roads are a shocker: gravel, dirt, pot holes, bad cambers etc. No wonder chook chasers usually smoke the sport crowd when the goping gets tight

How did the food go?
How many peaps?
Was everyone keen to cough up?

Fuck it, let's ride!
Little ol'Hornet Rides again!
Good ride! Thanks to McJim for setting a nice pace for us slow two-fiddies - backfiring of the bike upfront scared bejesus out of me at one stage, thought it was an irate farmer taking potshots at us!
Numerous highlights : Finding some no.8 fencing wire to replace my lost clock unit bolt (was fun seeing it bobble around ... not!)
Checking out Adiddy's ride for the suspicious wet smear on the right side of the rear wheel (thought he was leaking coolant, but turns out it was something he rode through!)
Watching the lone biker zooming in front, zooming back and then zooming out of sight again (dizzam - he got 3 rides out of the ride tonight!)
The split group confuzzle that had bikers popping in and out and then fragmenting! Confuzed us? Confoozled the rozzers too! Watching the anchors slam on once our group realised that there was one waiting before the turn off from the Moronway! I watched the ecilop look up and then at me directly!
Me running wide after following too closely to Aiddy around a sharp corner
And finally, after we all left Clevedon pub, I pootled back home via way of Hamiltonhome in bed by 1:00am
Great fun everyone!

I preferred the Chile and Nachos but it was nice enough - warm corned beef.
About 15-20 - I didn't count.
Dunno - I paid and I'm a tight bastard so I assume some others must have too.

yeah, food wasn't as good as last week, "lesbian platter" I think boomer referred to it as.
most coughed up, there were 15 at the start of the ride, dunno how many actually made the pub but i've got about 35 pesos at home for the BBQ/Spank fund.

It was a great night, missed the girlfriend being pillion but it did allow me to take the corners a little more aggresively than usual.
Old Guy was great a a trailbalzer for us slow bastards and those fast 250's.
Enjoyed the food but I concur with McJim that the chile and nachos were better.
I think that everyone paid up, I slipped Dover my contribution. (let them read that as they will Dover)
Abou 15 bikes there. Seems to be growing. Nice to see the big singles there and hear how they gave the sports machines a real run for their money on the corners.
Where it's at...
Was funny as watching them overtake on the corners.......
disclaimer: the overtaking practise I refer to was safe and all involved had huge smiles

Faark was I supposed to eat that? I thought them leaves and stuff were just floral decoration - doesn't fall into either of the two food groups: Meat and Fried stuff.

The KTM rider has been known to me for over 40 years. I remember when he first learnt to ride a bike (Suzuki TS125, mine) in the 70's. Ever since then he has always been a better rider than me. Nice to see him doing it to someone else for a change.Was funny as watching them overtake on the corners.......

BTW Having known him for so long it has only just occured to me that this was the first time I have ever been out for a ride with him. Mike we have to do it again sometime.

good questions mate.
about 20 bikes.
8 people arrived fat the pub first and coughed up $5 each for food.
That food didn't last long at all.
Does someone owe me a beer?
I don't even have a job after all.

A beer for you will be provided by myself next ride you are on

47 years, 5 months and 20 some days actually bro.
BTW, I think I learned to ride on the old mans TS 90, my mates briggs and stratton minibike and big sisters ac50; i didn't get to ride your chook chaser much, you wouldn't let me and i had to 'steal it' like you stole the old fellas TS 90 Wolf.
Wifey won't let me do my stuff on the track anymore since the broken back and paralysis thing so I have to take it out on the roadies.She doesn't get the idea that I'd probably be less likely to crash and die on a racetrack.
Didn't we ride together? You might be right. My first bike was your crashed RD350B ($250, a handlebar, grips, paint job and goat skin seat cover) and after that mishap you'd given up on bikes for a while until you pissed off to pomgolia. I rode a lot with your mates though, particularly Scelly and Dick.

on yer bro!
make that a guinness, a big one
BTW: how do you get a rise outta these peoiple? I've been trying.
Caught up with Paul Pav a little while ago. I reckon making him the boss of Motorcycling NZ is the best move in the history of the sport of motorcycle racing.
Not only was he a fukkin good racer, he's a smart people manager too with loads of experience.
(hey Pav, that's a guiness from you too then huh? Or do I owe YOU one for nearly taking you out at Puke after I returned from not riding in Singapore for a year? flouro pink CBR600 the Phantom)

Tchh. You can tell he's a Glaswegian, can't you.
You're in CIVILISED parts now, man. Down here in Godzone we have a healthier , more varied diet.
There are FOUR main food groups, not two. Fat, starch , sugar, and burnt crunchy bits.
(Alcohol is not a food group. It is classified as a medicine)

yeah, those damn road bikes are moving obstacle courses eh! (but it's kinda fun carving them up)Was funny as watching them overtake on the corners.......

dunno why you buy them. hell, your CBR has about 100 rear wheel pony power vs my bikes 55 and with my porky 95kg arse onboard there probably wasn't much between us in all up weight either.
i gotta sing the praises of that chook chaser. i've had jappers (hondwhores, yamahahas), woppas (ducrapis, gruzzlies), goose steppers (bmwobbleyou) and have even ridden spanish and czech things but nothing has kept me drooling and smiling like the austrian trail bike with road wheels.
I usually get bored and flog them off after a year but have had the ktm for 3+ years already and still want to keep it.
Mind you, the 720 kit or superdupercharger might be next; that yamahaha chookie with 175cc less was practically identical in acceleration up to 160kph. He tells me it has the full race kit and all i have is a mild cam, some holes in my airbox and a noisy exhaust.
The ktm made 55 bhp on the dyno (up from 44 bhp stock). The yamahaha might make close to 50 bhp but they're a lot lighter and i think the rider was too.
any bites yet?
