At the Register Meeting I initiated a round of applause for Alex for his service as Area Rep: I repeat that here. Everybody take your fingers off the mouse and keyboard and give the buggar a clap for a job well done.Thank you all for that.................Mr Kuysten? What can you say? It is the kind of scenario any lead rider or t.e.c. dreads - someone decides to take a late pee on a hedge, or drops their bike getting it off the stand, or some other last minute tomfoolery, and you just know there is a split coming up in the run as a consequence. Who are you going to abandon to their fate? I assumed I was left with the plonker, and that the rest of the ride would sort themselves out. It followed from that assumption that the best way of regathering was to go to the midpoint of the ride and head back towards the main group, which happily worked out. It is a nasty feeling losing a ride when you are tail-end-charlie, because t.e.c. is the last resource sometimes if things go pear-shaped, so it ain't a good look if you are not where you are supposed to be.Richard still has his blond hair, so I have finally figured he wasn't playing with his music when he was f**t-a**seing around with his i-pod, he was re-starting his blond instructional tape, "Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out......................"Not only does Richard have "open minded sexuality" towards "he-cows", but he is still in contact with his teen-self with his teenage toys. Not a problem for me - I am so old I wouldn't know how to drive an i-pod, so I would never hold people up playing with one. 🙄

We enjoyed a scenic ride enroute to a tasty lunch and Bwucie convinced us to drop in for an ice cream at Pokeno on the way home. Many thanks to everyone for making Kerry and myself so welcome and a special thanks to Alex K. for organising this wonderful ride. Very much looking forward to catching up again at the next event.Cheers, Alex and Kerry
Glad you enjoyed the ride, pity I had to miss it due to a birthday champagne brunch but will catch up with you another time.Glad you didnt disapoint me by not having an icecream Bwucie 😀

Yes, there were some raised eyebrows :-). On the other hand not many people notice my slight detour.
AnonymousGuest21/12/2009 at 2:27 amPost count: 2134Reading back through this thread, it occurs to me that I should give consideration, between now and 1 Jan, to resolve not to pick on Richard K next year – unless he thoroughly deserves it. 😀
Yes, the poor man got a bit of a hammering. He has a heart of gold and I am sure there wasn't the slightest bit of malice behind it. Unfortunately he doesn't get to ride to the SI this year, so he must have been dreaming about that.

It was a pleasure meeting you. Garry has already given you his email address, he is obviously on the ball. We are looking forward to the report and the photographs. Let me know if you need any help linking to the photographs on photobucket.Cheers,Alex

personally I think u guys are just "Ginga bashing" if even only a mild dose.
I thought T.E.C should know which route the group was taking,any how had great fun trying to catch up and was first in for lunch, brucie that nice 1100s might need a tune up struggles to keep up with My 60hp bmw tractor.till the next ride
