ATNR 22/2//07 DISCUSSION THREAD

[Pumba]

Care to share, I went straight to the pub last night, because my wife and I wanted to order meals.

So whats the story with the locals???

Some of them thought the speed limit should be lower and were telling us this. Hell you can't exceed the limit (by much) around there.

I think youve got it about right Stranger but I think there are a few that were exceding the speed limit by a little bit seeing how it is only a 80 kph Zone.

Its the old case of city foke moving to the country and expecting it to be nice and Quiet then getting all pissy when 40 odd bikes go past and they cant here there TV's. Im not saying anybody was doing anything wrong im just saying they looked pretty shity (one had a pen and paper I think) and wouldnt heasitate going to the cops, or maybe somthing worse (sp?), Block of wood in the middle of a corner maybe, or maybe im the paraniod basted that thinks every one is out toget me, you make up your mind.

Anyway back to my original thought. We varry the route again for a few weeks let them think they have scared us and then come back when the heat has died down

Sure, I agree we should vary the route, we want to ensure as many residents as possible get to enjoy the pleasure of our company.
The old codger was waving at me, I gave him a wave back and checked my speedo I was doing 76 in an 80 area, so yeah some may have been going a little faster, but you aren't talking much.

Oh dear God...!

Hey Indy - serious point mate... that scarf was not too far from your rear wheel a couple of times I looked. I don't like the chances of your head and neck being stronger than the rear wheel if it got caught.

You'd be arse over kite off the back of your own bike...

The higher gears piss people off less too. A bike screaming along in a low gear sounds faster than just rolling along in a high one. I use that while splitting all the time - and the RF's nice and quiet(ish) anyway so...

Went on the ride last night for the first time and it was fun, no doubt some of you can ride very very well and it felt good to be out. Bit of new seal, sun strike etc but all good.

Went down roads that I hadn't ridden before so really enjoyed that and met a few good people as well. All in all not the road race that I was sort of expecting and I managed to cruise along at legalish speeds without feeling out of place, no incidents, didnt get cut off, folks kept their distance, well organised and I may even do it again.

BTW going past that old bloke and the boy, I waved as well, doing maybe mid 70's

Plus it did look a bit gay indy

[idleidolidyll]

What challenge?

Good to maybe meet ya too... and blow Black Buell a kiss for me... such a pretty face

say gidday to my big bro on the weekend, have a chuckle together and ask him about our the private messages we've bin trading (I just can't bring myself to type 'pm's', it looks so much like a womans problem).

blackbuell and i could be twins (well if he wasn't a little vertically challenged anyway), we're both as pretty as each other but thankfully he's got a caterpillar under his nose like a copper to differentiate us

so yeah some may have been going a little faster, but you aren't talking much.

I don't know what everyone behind me was doing as i was leading the secound part of the ride. Tryed to keep to a good speed to keep every one happy but managed to pull away from everyone around the road works as people are a bit scared of the lose stones.
I never witness the old coger that you are all talking about, to busy looking at the road ahead trying to be safe

Farking good ride guys, think we may need to change the route for a couple of weeks though as there were a lot of angry residents on a certain road.....

Was great to catch up with some of the South Auckland Crew and was good to finally confirm that I do actually know Idle.... and have known him for about 5 years!!!!! Good on ya Mike!!!!!

See y'all next week!!!
