ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[R6_kid:Me]

take it easy on your way out to westgate tonight. Saw a few cop cars hanging around the area when i went out that way before.

They're doing a massive stake out tonight, 2 un-marked and 1 marked, white holden late model and old navy blue one with no hubs.

Whaaahahaha. I'm taking the car.

Pssh... didn't see a single one, unless we didn't do anything to make them break cover.

Awesome ride and a great group. Felt great to be back on 2 wheels. Also good to see quite a few ladies on bikes.

[WickedOne]

Damn good ride and was great that the group kept together a lot better than last week. Awesome guys, have a great weekend and we'll see you all there again next week!!!

I'm a bloke - don't let the kilt fool you!

Good turnout - big barn of a pub.

Apologies to anyone that witnessed my little moment when my anchors didn't provide quite the stopping power I expected at a one way bridge. Managed to avoid hitting anyone so no harm done and a lesson learned.

To the rider on the Black Bandit 1200 - was behind you a couple of times on the run - either you use engine braking all of the time or you need to check your brake light - I could be wrong but I never noticed any changes in your tail light at junctions.

Did this actualy happen??

Was another excellent ride team! Really enjoyed hanging at the back and practicing the wheelies...

Yeah, there was a few of us last night - must try and get a photo of the matching black SV1000s together next time with their respective lady riders...

Lol, there's a Hyosung 250 that has a permanently on back brake! But just a note McJim, I rarely use my brakes due to the VTwin engine braking, can be misleading for people following me who are expecting me to brake and I don't. I often warn people before a ride so as they don't get too close - mind you, that's if they can keep up in the first place...

Thanks to the QK's for a well organised ride. I enjoyed finally getting along and meeting some of you.

The one-wheeled salutes were great as I got past (over and over again - nice). Made me miss my old gixxer - but glad my licence is fairly safe nowdays.

I enjoyed my lawn cutting sojorn after discovering the more limited steering range of the cruiser. Thanks to a fat-ass tyre being nice and stable.

It'll be good to meet some of the slower riders at some stage who cruise along a little more.

Will definitely be back when I can make it.

I have to say that although I am not a cruiser rider or even admirer, that Boulevard is a damn fine looking bike.

Thanks (green bling). I'm lovin' it. I was sports bikes mad, but just love riding the Boulevard. So damn relaxed.
