Was that you guys parked up some back road behind kaiaua last weekend? Looked like a bunch of bikers either practicing some stuff or watching someone about to do something stoopid!

Hi Guys,

Just an additional comment about the weather, some of the roads that we are going on will be quite twisty and can get slippery when wet. If you have no experiance with riding in wet conditions, or little experiance with riding at all it might be best to come on a ride when the conditions are better.
At the end of the day we dont want to be telling people not to come, but even more we dont want to be picking people out of the gutter and putting broken bikes on trailers,

And what do you know ... somethings come up ... my chainsaw and I (yes an actual chainsaw .. not the hyo hyo) have been co-opted to a mates place on saturday ... he's moving oversea's and needs my help ...

Sucks being a good friend sometimes ... but what can ya do.

Next time lads and ladies

with the forecast like it is, I think I'm not going to make this ride... damn weather. I'll see what it looks like in the morning, but I'm not too hopeful.

It was actually really good, weather was a bit cloudy on the way out to Kaiaua, started to get a bit dark after lunch so we moved on, caught a couple of light showers around clevedon, but other than that was a nice dry trip

So much for everyone else who signed up, we know who the hardcore bikers really are!

Looks like your weather geenie came through Mav. Sounds like you boys had a nice ride, shame no pickies?

When's the next ride likely to be? Hope I can make the next one (and have the confidence back a bit!).

Happy texting with your special lady by the way. Vvvv vvvv smile

Cheers

Hey Squeek, not us me thinks. Must have been another bunch of riders - unless we've got clones. Only really stopped at the Kaiaua chippy for some tukka (only 4 of us last weekend - went for a nice relaxed ride). Only other stops were liquid refreshment for the bikes.

Of course it rained in Clevedon - apparently it ALWAYS rains in Clevedon....that's where I got completely soaked on the way home from the New Years eve ride, (after getting rained on there at the START of the ny ride.

I think your weather genie has a voodoo doll with Clevedons name on it?

As per PM... I would love to have tagged along, but was in the land of nod after a night of watching rampant stupidity and projectile vomiting...

Will make sure I am not working the night before the next ride...

Still, I'm off on a pootle out to foreign parts shortly, to make up for missing yesterday, the land where Banjos are plucked, and 12 fingered children clap along to their favourite C&W ballads.

Yes, I am going to Waiuku - joy!

(Leaving in in 30~60 mins if anyone is up for an impromptu learners run there and back...)
