ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

**justsomeguy** · 24th January 2007, 10:17

Hi Qk'ies,

I'm thinking of turning up as this will be my last ride before the bike is picked up on either Fri or Sat morning.

I'm curious:
With 10 million bikes turning up - do you have a "110kmph" group that doesn't stop at every intersection and 100kmph group with all the 2nd bike stopping rule?

If you had shut up about it instead of crying in public you could have sneaked the odd ride in and no one would have known, now......

Fuck off cock, If you had seen my bike and where i live, There is absolutly NO point in riding it, Just WAY to obvious.

If you do actually go on this ride, maybe we can "discuss" it at the pub

I hope to be there tomorrow, depending on the weather... is forecast to be raining off and on... so hopefully they have it wrong and will be sweet as.

I might toodle down to the pub if I can be bothered.

Stick with beating the wife and kids Jake!

I like my curry.

I'd suggest that you be more worried about Mark turning up on some mangled death contraption than a spot of rain.

HAHA, not beating, just spirited discussion

And fair call about Mark

Me a cock?

Well based on how you've described yourself you seem like a peacock.

Awww -- you want a shoulder to cry on? Sure, I remember my days with no license.

If I do come - I don't know what you look like - I look like the guy in my avatar and profile pic, come say hi. Black cordura instead of blue leathers in case it rains.

The ATNR rides as a 1 group but I can see what you getting at.......... time will come that the ride will be too big for itself and for me to handle. What will we do? We may have to make up 2 groups. But at this stage until I can keep my hair and my sanity it will remain as it is.

For those who do not enjoy 'doin pointer duty' have a thought for those new to the ride and how once you too were fresh.

Wise words of the ATNR:
"If everyone wants to enjoy the ATNR they too must sometimes sacrifice their ride to do pointer duty. If you do not point, the next guy (who may not know where they are going) suffers"

Weather should hold for tomorrow - Fingers X'd.

Wouldent be more fun to let people search the old ATNR threads and come to there own conclusion, theres some good reading in those

Sorry off topic getting back on now.

Put me down for a maybe this week

It's official - Chickadee has said I can have Thursday evening. Now what can I do between 5:30pm and 6:30pm? I work in Ponsnobby so hardly seems worth going home only to turn round and come back again.

Justsomeguy, ArcherWC I know both of you - I could introduce you to each other for fun!

Seriously - I'll be at a loose end between the end of work and the start of the ride so any suggestions are welcome.
