Ride anyone?

Anyone interested in trying to organize some kind of meet/ride? I dont know if there are any events coming up anytime soon. Maybe we could try and find a dyno shop who's willing to stick our bikes on for a smaller than usual fee
Any ideas

Re: Ride anyone?

Ah another ride day thread. Don't worry Cowboy this will soon turn into a post whore competition like the other one

That will be followed by Ratter saying "no it won't"
Then Matt "yes it will"
Ratter "no it wont'"
Then Zop will turn up "It might"
And so on and so forth

I'm up for a local ride but you guys are going to have to be gentle the bike and rider are still getting broken in. Will have you still got your bike this could be the ride you were looking for before you get rid of it.

Re: Ride anyone?

Everything at work has decided to break (litereally), so I'll have to leave it up to you guys to pick a route, just don't have the time. Ratter as the last man, feel like making a decision?

But I'm still good for Saturday.

Re: Ride anyone?

I've gotta take the young bloke to Oz kick in the morning, but can meet you guys up in healseville or similar around 1pm if that's any good. We could do the resurfaced and blissfull black spur and Reefton spur and back again. Could be loads of fun.

Re: Ride anyone?

Whats this about a comp prob Ratt? Where you getting it fixed, I know Coxy gave me a good deal down at top gear but man it took them 2 weeks to figure out the noise in the engine was a loose mounting bolt, oh yeah and the bike had 120km more on it then when I dropped it off!

Sorry cowboy and omen...I've been awake for 3 days trying to piece together all the systems at work that has spontaneously and simultaneously decided to break (you wouldn't read about it). It has to be involved with the lunar eclipse somehow.

I doubt I can wake up to meet up at Healesville on Saturday, I can see myself sleeping to well after midday. I know that you can’t please all of the people all of the time but it appears that there are a majority that aren’t available for a Saturday jaunt.

So how would people feel about a Sunday arvo ride? Say meet at Healesville at 12pm, have a bite to eat at a café there (suggestions welcomed). By about 1pm we should be ready to roll. That should give those who want to join us enough of a window to meet up.

Looks like both sunday and saturday should be good weather.
