Sydney City ride 24/09

[Rik]

Righto, decided to start a new thread to reduce confusion in the old thread.

Hittin the city AGAIN! This time, meet at the stairs where Hyde Park is split in two. Head from the city up to the big coke sign in the Cross (beweare the trannies are steep there), and there's stairs from Hyde park down to the road, we'll be on either side there.

I might not be there until 9ish, so will have to get someones number to call and meet up later on.
But yeh, bring your bike, bring a camera if you have one, and prepare to go big :!:

I did all the ground work to get out this week and , my grand aunty decides , Sydney looks nice , and arrives tonight for dinner from the Gold coast

[dannyboy]

Nice one , looking forward to getting out , i've spotted a few places this week , see what happens.

Later Dan

[Rik]

Righto, just got home... 35mins from Pyrmont Bridge to Concord on a tiny bike with massive tyres is doing pretty good in my books. Now I feel like passing out.

So yeh, not a bad ride, really nice big turnout, including a few random people that appeared out of nowhere.

Interesting parts:
-The fools flatlanding the staircase at Central interchage :lol:
-A very sideways Lexus
-Tasty BBQ pork from chinatown
-Some fun riding had by all, even if we weren't going big or being technical, it was just good to be on the bike
-Impressive trials skills displayed by the guys that appeared out of nowhere


Umm so yeh, awaiting pics from TD, and I can't wait to get a decent cam to get some footage as well.

[naz]

u forgot the interesting lad at maccas...who was pesistive about trail bikes or somethin...twas funn night

[Rik]

Oh yeh
fuck, forgot him.

It was Cleatus' inbred cousin, dressed in his camo jacket, mong teeth, and dodgy haircut "get a dirt bike bro"
wtf, and he was persistant too, not as if it was a friendly suggestion or a lame joke, but as if we'd all die if we didnt have dirt bikes. What a fucken tool.

[Techno Destructo]
