No, no - they knew you wouldn't get far b4 the Duc fell apart ... so they thought they'd be kind

Stoneville · 25-07-2008, 07:08 AM

In my view I'm still the weather goddess, jeez it is meant to be winter you know and it didn't spit for long

I miss all the fun being up the front

Sorry to all that my brake light wasn't working when I used the front brake, I guess my using the back brake to let you all know I'm going to be doing something paid off, as I didn't wear anyone

Thanks to those that did sit on corners in the dark

Was good to see Princess Jo and TORQ out and about again

Thumbs up to Ghetto for the ride to Marmion to get Homer

umm I have a bruise though

Din't get home till 11.10pm, couldn't work out why someone wasn't impressed, until I noticed the time on the kitchen clock ooops

Homes clock read 10.30pm exactly so I didn't think it was too late, 40 mins late, Graham must have had the battery off when he was fixing him up, oh well, got to make up for it

See you next Tuesday, think it's gonna we a wet ride, might be a transfer to Thursday night even

Captain Starfish · 25-07-2008, 07:33 AM

^^ good point.

Massive kudos to those of you who waited for the pack surrounding Dion and his shitmobile. All those cornermarkers (except for T-Bone and Jess, who suck) who waited 10 minutes or more - I was surprised and grateful to see you still there.

Well done!

Perhaps in future, rather than everyone hanging around the crippled bike, someone needs to make the "See ya" call. The TEC can keep going, mop up all the cornermarkers, and anyone staying with el crippo can either leave the ride then or meet at the halfway/end point.

jonnyking · 25-07-2008, 07:43 AM

Thanks stoney for another great ride. good to see you all again!

Your not alone there... I didnt realise till the meet that my brake was only working off the rear switch so i was rear breaking ALOT last night keeping it in my mind that if i only use the front no one knows im breaking but me. Made for an interesting ride.

Espesially when Bart came up behind me at the roundabout after the "hairy incident

" He said at the dinner stop he almost ran into me. Didnt help it was an late brake cos i saw a car at the last 2nd so i was still in 3rd when i came to a stop, then stalled taking off again. no wonder...

When the rain started i though oh crap, had the wet weather pants in my bag but they dont do much good in there. Thankfully it stopped and wasnt to bad. Espesially after the last LNR when there was only about 8 of us. The weather then was crap.

But regardless was a great night out. Thanks Stoney

See what happens when you ride without me???

Falcore · 25-07-2008, 01:49 PM

yep i had a hoot

shortSteve · 25-07-2008, 03:38 PM

Ta all. Twas a messy first half, second was better. As CS mentioned, we had 5 or 6 bikes stop for Dion, all could have gone ahead to cornermark. I tec coz i'm slow, and have a ute and trailer if absolutely neccessary. I will stay (as a tec should) with unreliable bike until a solution is set, or it's whelled into the bushes etc...
Oh well, another learning experience... and apologies to those I was snappy at. Bad day, nothing to do with you people.
Hopefully see you all next week...

ddoth · 25-07-2008, 05:34 PM

Thanks for the ride everyone.
Was only a little amount of 'rain', still hoping it wouldn't get heavier because it looked reallynice out so I didn't bring any wet weather gear.

Sorry Steve for not answering you straight away at the corner, I thought you meant how many passed the correct way, not went passed the corner.
Hope all is well.

Seems we started with a fair few more bikes than we ended with

joneen13 · 25-07-2008, 11:42 PM

Well, it sure was a long time since I went one one of those rides and its nice to be back out and about and to see all those shining PSB faces, although I had no idea who half of you were...

Thanks as always, to our fearless leader (Ms Stoneville) and her band of merry CM's, I tried to CM at one turn but I had no idea who the actual TEC was so I may be guilty for leaving early, but I belive the lost warriors were long gone before I left you to your own devices *cheeky grin* sowy!

So yes, I left early (at the halfway mark) and I took Sir TORQ with me, but I have wonderful reasoning, I swear! This diety thing I'm on only allows me to eat every 5-6 hours and being that I had lunch a smidge late I wasnt able to eat til mid-rideish and as I'm sure you're all aware, HJ's and the likes are not suitable diet food so it was home time for me, yay!

Might see ya'll out again soon, hopefully
