Newbie ride?

[hedgier1]

hey guys and gals party for kb riders easter saturday

[Spittie]

yea no problem (i start work up your way on sunday the 1st), be happy to lend a hand with cleaning the carbs too if i can find time/transport - this way you only have to pay for them to be balanced (if needed/wanted) which only costs about $60 according to alex (i think it was $200 for them to clean and balance)

Thanks doug thats great!!

I meant a noob as in newbie, not nob as in......

well what else do you call someone who crashes due to bad riding eh?
nooooooob

Ok, so to bring this back on topic!!!!!

I was just wondering how many eatery type places will be open on Easter Sunday and not charging like wounded bulls to be so?
What do people think of having a BYO picnic lunch or coercing a non-rider/bike-less sap into coming along in a car with a BBQ and snags in the back?

[hsvboy06]

Let your fingers do the walking... Choose wherever you want to take us, give them a call, ask if they'll be open, and what they'll be charging. More to the point, prepare them for about 20 bikers to arrive!
BYO picnic lunch is also fine with me.

[Wasp]

20?!

have we all forgotton how full martinborough square was?

do it for the 22nd, give the pub/resturant plenty of warning and do it at a time that suits them!

I'm more than happy for someone else to organise this ride.

[hsvboy06]

20?!

That's the most votes in the poll right now, and atm there are only 3 people registered in the calendar as attending... I was being optimistic.

Just trying to be helpful...

[Trudes]

I know you are hsv, and I appreciate the helpful comments.
As you mentioned there are only 3 people registered so far, so I can't start ringing anywhere to say there are a group of bikers turning up, it could be 3 or it could be 30. I suggested the picnic or BBQ so I wouldn't have to bother with exact numbers and people could be a little freer to turn up on a whim, with their lunch, I'm sure most people can make a sandwich.

[hsvboy06]

...I'm sure most people can make a sandwich.

Yeah, you'd think.

Bugger,
Cant make Easter Sunday, I'm going to be in New Plymouth.

[Nasty]

I really want to come .. but we are doing a trip on the bikes to Napier ... which should make life interesting.

[chanceyy]

I would be up for a ride ...

on 15th as easter hoping to be pootling over the eastern side with muh mentor ..

also riding all the way to wellywood on muh own does not hold much appeal .. still getting confident on the roads .. so might have to see wot the posse is doing & i might be able to drag them along
