Tagorama

[sleemanj]

Coming home from work yesterday about 6-630 [...] Was that you?

Russley-Wairakei, almost certainly. If you were in a ute then I think from memory I gave you a thumbs up to say it was sorted. As usual, it was the bikers [in cars interestingly] who stopped to help.

I was in a silver wagon. Got the thumbs up tho.

[Guzza]

Dont want this one to hang around over the weekend. Heres a pic from another angle

[EJK]

I bet that tag will be gone by tomorrow morning.... :(

[Transalper]

Now I c it, but I'm having a wuss moment :cold:

[fireliv]

1 Memorial Ave - cnr Memorial Ave & Clyde Rd


Awesome Liv :2thumbsup. That plaque represents the "memorial" in Memorial Ave. I've lived here since the late 80's and only just clicked to that.:blink: If we lived in France, it would be a huge stone arch over the whole road!...and of course, we would be speaking french...

...and we'd know how to spell Dervashell and shit like that.

Are you taking the piss?
Do you think the people the plaque was representing would approve?
Have some respect.

[FJRider]

Are you taking the piss?

Have some respect.

For the authority that made the decision, to place a plaque on the edge of a footpath, on a very busy intersection, traffic lights included. On the MAIN route to the "towns" only international airport ... must have been lacking in respect to those it was representing.

Any awareness of its location AND purpose. However distasteful it may appear ... must have a positive side.

[dangerous]

That plaque represents the "memorial" in Memorial Ave. I've lived here since the late 80's and only just clicked to that.:blink: If we lived in France, it would be a huge stone arch over the whole road!...and of course, we would be speaking french... bugger me... Iv been riding through thet intersection since the early 80's, and I have never ever noticed that memorial nor its signlficance to memorial ave. shocking :oi-grr:

Ummm... I think the plaque was put there well before any footpath, intersection, traffic lights included On the MAIN route to the "towns" only international airport some how.

[Transalper]

Are you taking the piss?
Do you think the people the plaque was representing would approve?
Have some respect.

Are you taking the piss, that IS where the memorial is located. Imagine no disrespect is intended.

[Spuds1234]

Can someone please explain to me how it was remotely disrespectful? I think Im stupid, but its been bugging me since I read Dodgyiti's coment.

[FJRider]

Ummm... I think the plaque was put there well before any footpath, intersection, traffic lights included On the MAIN route to the "towns" only international airport some how.

I beg to differ... as it used to be. WHERE it used to be. In the MIDDLE of that road. It has been moved even.... to widen the intersection.

[Guzza]

Are you taking the piss?
Do you think the people the plaque was representing would approve?
Have some respect.

Are you implying I photoshopped the pic? Posting a faked tag would kinda defete the purpose of the game dont you think? Or are you berating me for a general lack of respect because I took a pic of a war memorial and dared to post it on the net? If this is all you have to bitch about in life, I'd say you have it pretty sweet.

[dangerous]

I beg to differ... as it used to be. WHERE it used to be. In the MIDDLE of that road. It has been moved even.... to widen the intersection.
Ahhh... thats why I have never noticed it on the footpath, still riden past it for 30yrs tho.

Ohh and Ya all taking Diti the wrong way.

[Guzza]

Ohh and Ya all taking Diti the wrong way.


I'm not quite sure how to take his comment dangerous. Every way I slice it, it comes out looking ignorant and slightly offensive.

[sleemanj]

Ohh and Ya all taking Diti the wrong way.

Would love to know what the right way is. I can't make head nor tail of it. I see no disrespect going on. Actually I think our war fallen would be stoked to see people having fun on bikes in a free country :-/

[FJRider]

As an ex serviceman, it has been our fear. To die in some asshole of someone's empire, to be forgotten ... or never known by many, or any, that they existed. They gave for your freedoms... enjoy those freedoms.

In time ... over time, others will give too. Do not forget them.

[fireliv]

Ok well I dont see the problem, I cant see the disrespect..... so on with the game.

This shouldnt be to hard to find, expect it gone by sundown tomorrow (Or before sun up if Guzza is trolling!!;))

[Guzza]

Trolling Huh?? It just so happened that I needed to go out tonight and needed to go right past the corner of Lyttleton St. and Lincoln Rd...

[Shadows]

I'm with Dodgyiti on this one and quite disgusted by it.

Very, very bad form.

The only mitigating factor is that it wasn't intentional.

[Guzza]

This has to be the sexyest bus shelter in town. hope I dont offend anyone by taking a pic of it. Last thing I want is the dorkland branch of the Retired Conductors Assoiation giving me a hard time over it :whistle:

You may find a very reserved Erica across the street

[Guzza]

Shed some light on this Shadows. What exactly is in bad form?

[FJRider]

mmmmmmm ..... looks like the place...

[Guzza]

Might have known a bus stop wouldnt get past you FJR :lol:

[FJRider]

Might have known a bus stop wouldnt get past you FJR :lol:

Its the company I kept at bus stops that make them memorable .... I know that park too...

[Shadows]

Shed some light on this Shadows. What exactly is in bad form?

No I won't. It will just turn into an argument that nobody needed to have, or even intended to start, and it won't solve a thing.

What will solve a thing, is this... let's all agree on a new rule of the game that nobody is to park any part of any bike on any memorial for anything again.

That way every contingency is covered.

[Transalper]

That's interesting, I hadn't considered the paving stones in front of the memorial stone to be part of it. Just a nice area to stand off the grass when reading the memorial. I consider myself newly educated I guess.

[FJRider]

Two tags within 50 km's of your place ... go get at least one of them ...

[fireliv]

Trolling Huh?? It just so happened that I needed to go out tonight and needed to go right past the corner of Lyttleton St. and Lincoln Rd...

Yeah yeah!! I knew you would get it!!! Good job!

[Guzza]

I'm not one for pissing matches Shadows. At least now I see what you are objecting to. Still dont see what the fuss is about though.That slab of concrete gets walked on and stood on all the time. Its there to ensure the grass isnt perminatly worn out infront of the plaque.

My respect for our fallen is tangable in the number of hours I have stood stock still at Rest on Arms Reverse, as part of the Cenotaph Guard and the number of early ANZAC Day rises I have undertaken to be part of the Dawn Parade fireing party, and the number of old boys I've propped up ath the RSA after match function. Anyone with any real respect for anything has it in their heart though, and sees monuments for what they are: Slabs of concrete, lumps of marble and sheets of brass.

[chiefofthehill]

Hi guys n girls... I have not had the chance to play with you lot yet as I just don't get the time to get out on my bike, and this tag moves so fast.
However heres a pic or two of the Southern Rider forum canterbury tagorama which I had a crack at today, it was a nice day and I enjoyed my wee hoon.

pic 1) the tag
pic 2) the find
pic 3) my tag
pic 4 & 5) I decided to make my tag three tags each tag being a clue to the next, all tags witen 200m of each other.

[Transalper]

Shouldn't be too hard with Quail Island in the background.
Maybe I'll pop in at Southern rider for a look. I assume that was the point of posting here, to get their game moving too.

As for this game in this thread, I don't know where the buss stop is so I grabbed the NZ Wide tag this evening instead.

[Guzza]

...I don't know where the buss stop is...

surprised you are letting a bus stop get the better of you TA. There are clues in the text. The words in bold point to the location of the tag.

[Transalper]

Ok, I hadn't looked for it, Having read you post associated with it there's an obvious place name to look for.

[Spuds1234]

brb...

10char

[Spuds1234]

Here it is, the bus stop across Erica Reserve on Grants Road in Papinui.

Please excuse the crappy cellphone pic. I tried to lighten it but my Photoshop skills are average at best.

[Guzza]

All good spuds, thats the one. Seems a bit wasted hidden out the back of Papanui

[Spuds1234]

Yea thats what I thought. Then again it does look like they are making that area look nicer. Theres a whole lot of planting going on, and they have that small stream though there to.

Not sure what to make the next tag, not doing another playground though. Maybe a pool or something.

[Spuds1234]

What can I say, I had to do a midnight food run (I was hungry) and I had nothing better to do as I have to completly flip my circadian rhythm around as I had a 5am to 2pm shift yesterday and now I have 9pm to 6am tonight and for the next 3 nights.

My boss hates me (its ok, I hate her to).

Once again camera phone pic that Ive tried to lighten. Use your imagination, there's a stream and a bridge directly behind the pole and behind that there is a field (a big one that used to on occasions hold major archery tournaments that the Christchurch Archery Club couldn't hold on its own grounds due to space) and some buildings on the edge of the field.

[Gareth123]

Sheesh I'll lend you my camera. I can hardly see the pole! GO BACK IN DAYLIGHT! (I can shout at him, I'm his brother)

If I happen to be driving past could I draw a picture of my bike and make sure that it's in the photo? Just thought I better ask

[Spuds1234]

Sheesh I'll lend you my camera. I can hardly see the pole! GO BACK IN DAYLIGHT! (I can shout at him, I'm his brother)

If I happen to be driving past could I draw a picture of my bike and make sure that it's in the photo? Just thought I better ask

Drop your camera off at my work tonight and I'll have a better pic for you guys in the morning. Although I think there is probably enough clues in my post anyhow.

[Gareth123]

May do it for free food...I like your new angus burgers - They do need some cracked pepper on the pattie though.

[Spuds1234]

Ask for a sachet of pepper then.

[fireliv]

What brotherly love you have!

I must admit though I am with Gareth! Better photo please!

[Spuds1234]

Heres another clue, its about halfway between my first tag that I put up and the last tag.

I'll try and get a better photo tomorrow morning after work.

[Transalper]

I can think of only one park that has targets and it's not where the club is based but don't know if it would be correct. Guess I should go for a look instead of sitting here, but it's cheaper sitting here.
Hey, just seen a picture of Spuds all reflecting in bike jacket on the Archery Clubs website :D

I see a new clue and I think it rules out the park I had in mind... but will have to double check the locations mentioned in the clue.

Dont go near New Brighton you will only be disappointed.

[Transalper]

That seems to be where the club is based and you already said it's not their usual shooting range.
Unless of course you're also saying don't go near New Brighton Rd either which is indeed what I read the clue in post #1302 to indicate also.

Is there something special about the pole?
Can't be sure from the pic.

Well I think I'll go check Norman since I seem to be awake.

[Spuds1234]

Well I think I'll go check Norman since I seem to be awake.

Norman is on the right track.

The pole is octagonal, it has a lamp on top of it and each side of the lamp has a blue shield on it.

[Transalper]

Just like this one... on Normans Rd off Papanui Rd
A very nice place it was too, all the blossoms and stream etc.
Glad I done it while there was no one about, lots of people would spoil the setting.

Off looking for a new tag now.

[Transalper]

Here we go, it's so nice up there at the moment.
Yes there is a few patches of gravel in the usual places but most the road is fine.... and it's so nice up there.

[Dave-]

I drinketh from the spring of life.

[Transalper]

Indeed and it still looks like a beaut day up there :yes:

[Gareth123]

ARRRRGGGGH I hate you all! My bike isn't working! Dammit and I had work today! I couldv'e ridden around taking pictures too:mad:

The sun was out and everything this morning!

[dangerous]

Here we go, it's so nice up there at the moment.

I drinketh from the spring of life.yeah too easy wasnt it Dave...
and since when have you had a R6? very nice, same as Lil'Ms aint it, I hope you have slowed down in town.

[JMemonic]

since when have you had a R6?

Umm I would say the deal was concluded at about 1815 on Saturday 05/09/09 so since then :)

[Dave-]

yeah too easy wasnt it Dave...

faaaaar too easy

mine is going to be a doozy, should be up before 5pm tomorrow.

had the r6 since saturday, M's is a carbed model...inferior....chicks bike...haha stir....STIR!

[Dave-]

here it is, sorry for poor quality but i couldnt use the dslr i had access to.

requirement: angle has to be the same.

[Transalper]

That's different.

My last one wasn't supposed to be hard, it was supposed to be enjoyable to ride to.
I think it was.

[Dave-]

That's different.

My last one wasn't supposed to be hard, it was supposed to be enjoyable to ride to.
I think it was.

last one was fun alright, did it instead of maths assignment!

[Transalper]

Well I took an educated guess and now I see the area you parked in.
Google Satellite imagery is great. Not sure about access though.

[sleemanj]

Well I took an educated guess.

Funny how things stick in your mind from years ago that you never even took notice of at the time, I had a feeling and google confirms it. No handlebars still, so it'll have to wait.

Two person job really this one I think, one to stand guard and one to commune amongst the dead trees for the photomagraf.

[Transalper]

....Two person job really this one I think, one to stand guard .....
I'd agree, I'm not comfortable going there, even less so going solo.

[Dave-]

hehe, thought this one might mix it up...

[Harvd]

its a goodun all right. id been trying to think of a good one to do around there but thats way better than my ideas...

[dangerous]

Google Satellite imagery is great. hows that work?


I'd agree, I'm not comfortable going there, even less so going solo.
HUH... aint Hampshire st is it, so whats so sceary in canty?

[Transalper]

hows that work?Is that a serious question?
Google maps with the Satellite button turned on.
(http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=-43.531492,172.636546&spn=0.000447,0.000778&z=20) (not the location in question)


HUH... aint Hampshire st is it, so whats so sceary in canty?
Students, they're scary.
More so leaving my bike alone in the middle of a courtyard covered in them. I've seen them on TV. I know they are all broke and drunk.:drinkup: :puke:
Ya leave ya bike with them and it'll be gone or burned ya know.:cry:
I think it's too much education frying their brains makes them like that.:wacko:
Scary man, real scary. :dodge:

[PeterJ]

hows that work?


Like this....

[PeterJ]

I am still trying to figure out if you were up a tree or out a window in the library....

[Transalper]

I think only a visit will revel the answer to that.

[dangerous]

Is that a serious question?yeah... I know what google satalite is... but how does it find that pic.. I have to asume you had an idea so looked it up?

[Transalper]

Yep, thought about where I might have been if I were Dave to see something like that. He's one of them people overloading his brain you know.
Looks higher than a tree shot to me so I was thinking tall buildings.

[JMemonic]

here it is, sorry for poor quality but i couldnt use the dslr i had access to.

?? Why not

[FJRider]

yeah... I know what google satalite is... but how does it find that pic.. I have to asume you had an idea so looked it up?

IT doesn't ... you have to find it. An area you think may hold the "target", you skim over at height ... in time you find what you're looking for.

Maybe.

[Dave-]

?? Why not

couldn't get your camera bag to the "site", couldn't even fit your camera in my backpack....

i used a bit of zoom to help frame the shot.

[dangerous]

The court yard out side the Uni library, see I can do this computer shit.

[Pete.Viking]

I can see which angle thats from, might be riding in the morning. Out of interest what time of day did you get that shot Dave? Draw a bit of attention?

[Dave-]

I can see which angle thats from, might be riding in the morning. Out of interest what time of day did you get that shot Dave? Draw a bit of attention?

had intended on doing it at 12:50ish, right between lectures amongst everyone and would've if I'd had the dslr to capture the gaping confused looks of people from 11 stories up.

buuuuut i saw a pretty girl and bought her a drink instead :D took the photo after 5, still got some funny looks.

[JMemonic]

buuuuut i saw a pretty girl and bought her a drink instead :D

Ahh now the truth comes out lol

[Guzza]

...buuuuut i saw a pretty girl and bought her a drink instead :D took the photo after 5, still got some funny looks.


The funny looks may have been due to the confusion of seeing a pretty girl and you seemingly communicating. :p

[Dave-]

The funny looks may have been due to the confusion of seeing a pretty girl and you seemingly communicating. :p

yeah but your idea of "communication" is seeing her ankle....wooo risque...

[Guzza]

yeah but your idea of "communication" is seeing her ankle....wooo risque...

No, my idea of communicating is talking without beating the crap out of each other. If shes flashing her ankle at you, it means shes easy ;)

[Pete.Viking]

Got the location but had some trouble with access to get the angle since it was after 6pm when I got there...

[Transalper]

Yea, it's a bit of a funny tag really.
Must of seemed like a good idea at the time but.... :oi-grr:

[Guzza]

Got the location but had some trouble with access to get the angle since it was after 6pm when I got there...

I wouldnt worry about trying to take an exact copy of the tag. Straight away that would limit this round to students. Get a pic with tyour bike or lid in it proving it's the correct place and that would do it.

[Dave-]

Got the location but had some trouble with access to get the angle since it was after 6pm when I got there...

11th floor is open till 10:30, anyone can enter the library, they don't retina scan you, or god forbid ask for your student ID

I knew this would happen...but it's in the spirit of the game, you've worked out where it is, now you have to go to some place new and interesting to get the tag.

if you refer to rule #1 there's no reason to not reproduce the tag as best as possible, there's only 2 windows you can stand at on the 11th floor to get the angle.

if you refer to rule #2, canterbury university is very historic, if you go down kahu road etc it's nice and twisty.

rule #3 you've found the tag, and it's obvious 2 sports bikes can get there

now harden up and go get the tag, I'm getting bored.

edit: guzz, I haven't limited the round to students at all.

[Transalper]

11th floor ...but it's in the spirit of the game, you've worked out where it is, now you have to go to some place new and interesting to get the tag.....

Yes, somewhere newish, I have no doubt the view of the courtyard is nice up there although I had hoped I'd left visits to Uni in the past never to be repeated.
Now if I were to argue the point of 'in the spirit' it has been said the game is all about riding where as you require us to park our bikes then leave them behind for a while as we enter a building and go up some stairs or a lift, ending up quite a long way away from our precious s.
But rather than argue :whistle: I'm just going to leave it to others to fetch while I go :ride: elsewhere.

[Guzza]

Here you go then. We infiltrated the invisible wall of intelligence and while Susan held the pyromaniac students at bay with a whip and a chair, I took this pic. got there too late to get into the library though.

[Guzza]

Not a million miles from the previous tag. Wouldnt go after this one between 9and 3 on week days...

[dangerous]

[kerryhare]

hard to believe that this place was a working area not that many years ago.

Either that or we are old enough to remember it :)

Either that or we are old enough to remember it :)

and brave enough to say it ...

[sleemanj]

Blimey, at this rate I could almost make this my triumphant return to tagorama. Course then I'd have to find a new one.

[PeterJ]

Taking my bike to work tomorrow for the first time in a couple of months, Will take my camera and check the puta before I leave. This one has to go before the weekend.

[sleemanj]

I extend my blimey to a Ray Ellingtonesque Cor Blimey. This one sure is hanging around a while.

Bumping.

[PeterJ]

Yeah, was going to get it today but couldnt be bothered riding into town, Went to Akaroa instead.....

[T.W.R]

Yeah, was going to get it today but couldnt be bothered riding into town, Went to Akaroa instead.....

:blink: you went past it twice :shutup:

[Kickaha]

I would have got it myself as I was just down the road, but thought it would have been long gone by now

[Transalper]

I extend my blimey to a Ray Ellingtonesque Cor Blimey. This one sure is hanging around a while.

Bumping.

And what was your excuse? Or have I missed something?

I guess the novelty of the game is slipping for Christchurch-ish riders.

[sleemanj]

And what was your excuse?

See page 82. Repairs continuing.

[Transalper]

Ahh, right, I remember that now.

[dangerous]

Bloody hell... Iv killed the canty tago thing :blink:




Yeah, was going to get it today but couldnt be bothered riding into town, Went to Akaroa instead.....
Ummm... its not in town but infact on the way to Akaroa, the giveaway is center of the close up photo of the board I posted :Punk:

[JMemonic]

If no one goes and gets it before I will endeavour to do so tomorrow, am out of time today :(, then I will try and post something easy for all the youngsters to go find.

[PeterJ]

you went past it twice

Not when you live in Southbridge!....

[PeterJ]

Ummm... its not in town but infact on the way to Akaroa, the giveaway is center of the close up photo of the board I posted

I know where it is...
It is not on the way to Akaroa when your starting point is Southbridge...

[been_there]

It looks like the game is dying ....

[Transalper]

No one can complain about the tag moving to fast for them to get it this time, or claim that bad weather was an issue.

Personally I thought I'd sit back, save some fuel for gravel roads and overnighters, give others a chance and see what happens.
I see nothing.

[sleemanj]

Sorry guys, the rain today is my fault. Literally just tightened the last bolt on the exhaust before a re-assembly-test-ride-come-tag-napping and naturally it started pissing down, shoulda known. :doh:

[McWild]

Wow guys. I expected better from you!

Next tag up when I FEEL like it.

[sleemanj]

Ahh bollocks, 1 minute late.

[dangerous]

Wow guys. I expected better from you!

Next tag up when I FEEL like it.

NA... sorry blood nut, but ya bikes facing the wrong way, go back and take the photo again... ohhh, and were and what is that place? :third:



your turn man!

[JMemonic]

NA... sorry blood nut

Pot, Kettle, Blackn :shifty::laugh:

[McWild]

Bloody gingers, always so demanding....



It be the building at Halswell quarry. I should know, I already took a tag in the gardens there.


sleemanj, I feel your pain, earlier in the thread I lost to Rosie by the minutes because I was dicking about getting the RG150 across the beach.
Wheelspin galore!

Bring on the next tag. Must admit, have been very slack on this game lately. Not cos I haven't been out on the bike, just too lazy to do the picture thing. Planning to get back into it.

[Transalper]

....Next tag up when I FEEL like it.
What's that? a forfeit coming? don't forget there's a time limit to keep the claim... not that you'd think that would matter being that no one has played for a week and a half.

[sleemanj]

Maybe I get to use the new tag sitting on my memory card sooner rather than later.

[McWild]

Here you go. Want clues? Just ask.

[Transalper]

Well, it's not the chippy I use so I have no idea.

[rosie631]

Clue please lol

[sleemanj]

I did a quick google map check of the chinese sounding "takeaways" in Christchurch and didn't see anything close.

Please to be coughing up with a clue good sir.

[phoenixgtr]

Hehe, good one mate. Pity about the car. That could be a good shot.

I think it would be a bit unfair if I went and got this

hehe, well done tiz a shame bout the car... and you could have tieded the sign uo a bit with some paint.

[McWild]

Yes if Tristan gets it, it doesn't count.

Just a simple clue. If you've journeyed to, (or more accurately, from) some of Canterbury's twistier roads you're likely to have gone right past it.

[PeterJ]

Give us another clue, I am stumped.

[Transalper]

Well, I didn't see it on google maps out at Taitapu way.
I been out in Halswell and up Dyres Pass today and didn't see it.
I'm starting to wonder if it's out Sumner way as the twistiest roads in Canterbury are in my opnion around the bays. and/or Akaroa.

[fireliv]

I know I know, only too sore to ride...... but I dont think that I am allowed to get it either is Phoenix isnt


Clue Lets just say a ride departing today would have gone past it.

My clue sucked?? Well I gave you the general direction!! LOL sore loser :bleh:

[Transalper]

No, didn't even notice your clue until just now.
I'm saying this clue "If you've journeyed to, (or more accurately, from) some of Canterbury's twistier roads you're likely to have gone right past it." was a bit sucky as it sent me looking in a completely different direction.
Going north to get any thing comparable still requires a fair amount of straight and the corners are more open, which to me are less twisty.
No problem, it was just too ambiguous for me.

[Kickaha]

I am out of town this week and may not have computer access so if you can't get it there may not be any clues until Friday

[McWild]

Well if you'd like to um, "upgrade" then I'm willing to do a one off trade with my 1998 RG150.

Go on!

[Guzza]

I agree with TA but I can forgive you your very sucky clue because despite your tender years and propensity to ride a small Japanese built billboard that sounds like an overworked sewing machine, you clearly have excellent taste.

The MHR is one of only two real Ducatis ever built. The other being the 900SS of about the same vintage. Preferably in black

Of course they stopped building real Ducatis when they went to that belt drive rubbish in the early eighties

Although I think the 1970s SS are better looking than the early 1980s SS

Good to see you're keeping it clean :bleh:

A green frame 750ss or a 78 900ss wire wheel are the pick of the bunch though :niceone:

The bevels were the class act compared to the Pantah based belt brigade.... 86 was the end of an era :crybaby:

the MHR is more aligned with the S2 innit? I am sure there was one in the showroom when i bought the S2

[T.W.R]

the MHR is more aligned with the S2 innit? I am sure there was one in the showroom when i bought the S2

The 1st generation 900 MHR is close to the S2 which were both based on the 900ss but the MHR Mille was the last of the line of the Bevels, the Mille designation is relative to the capacity (1000cc).... the largest bevel drive engine produced......the end of an era (85-86), the S2 was produced after the finish of the ss models using the same spec motor and then at the very end used the Mille engine as well.
Kickaha got his through TradeMe from Invercargill and the one I put up was brought through Pacific Motorcycles (ex-japan) then Phil Payne sorted it out with a lot of the gear he was using on his MHR Mille powered Alchemy RV-1 race bike (Brook Henry, Vee Two Australia designed frame units running duke engines) in BEARS in the early 90s). It got a small write-up in the readers rides section of STREETBIKE magazine (issue 47).

[Kickaha]

and the one I put up was brought through Pacific Motorcycles (ex-japan)

I went and looked at that one when Pacific had it but they weren't interested in trading anything on it

Well... I was to busy even tho I did get out for a blast on the XN85, but this tag is a tad to far for me, maybe tomorow if its fine.

Seems reluctance to pick up but not a lot to commend the roads to get to the Church on the corner of Mt Thomas and Mairaki Rd Guess I got to go around 5 corners each way and catch the only bit of hail for the day. Sun is out so can get another but maybe still this side of the bridge.

[Vgygrwr]

New tag and I did not cross this bridge either, I wonder if the grim fellows hold the key?

[sleemanj]

Hmmm, looks a little different in Google, but I guess this is the one?

[dangerous]

Hmmm, looks a little different in Google, but I guess this is the one? how the hell do ya find shit like that on google? I can only asume you had a hunch so looked the township up and studied the bridges?

[sleemanj]

Easy, we knew it was north of the Waimak, picturesque steep banked river in a residential area/township, and could guess it would be closer to town than Oxford. Doesn't leave much room for guess work, there's only one river that came to mind.

Fire up google maps ( http://maps.google.com/ ) or google earth, satellite view and zoom in over the river(s) to look for foot bridges.

It's about 100m from where I have a monthly meeting on Wednesday. Now whether I get there with the bike or not is another question.

[Vgygrwr]

Not a lot to "crow' about really just a few ravings

[FJRider]

Old tag new tag ..... No "pi%^&^%$ng" around

Clue is : 3 words 2 clues .... Off out west

[Transalper]

Well didn't know it off hand but just one of those clues was enough to have it jump out at me on google maps.
Kind of have other stuff to do when I get home from work tonight.

Thank you panoramio.

Now, I bet my camera is flat.

[Transalper]

Thank you panoramio...

[Silage]

Hey that was the Tag I was going to use if I ever got to one first. Made it easier to find, and it is only fair as I'm an Elder of the parish (from the Hornby Presbyterian connection.

One of the oldest Pressy churches in Canterbury and I believe the only one with a grave yard connected - more of an Anglican and Catholic tradition.

As for the new Tag - doubt that you need any clues if a pile of scrap metal (tag before last) can be found so easily!!

[Transalper]

lol, been there, there's a geocache hidden behind them.

[Silage]

lol, been there, there's a geocache hidden behind them.
Why yes there is. Its a bit close for you to get to eh Tim!!

You will note that I have missed the dead giveaway part of the object (just out of shot).

Whoever gets to this tag, give KBer (rarely) Cal a wave.

[sleemanj]

Aw hall no.

You posted that about 20 minutes after I left.

I'd be pretty good if this was google tagorama.

[Transalper]

That's a bit of an obscure picture format you're using there sleemanj.
Won't open easily in a new tab, big file size for small picture.

[FJRider]

First of all .... thank you to all my friends for their help last night. You know who you are ... :2thumbsup


The memorial to ploughing, on springs road.

The new tag is a little harder .... I had to wait for daylight ...

The clue .... if you're heading for "the coast" ... and not going that fast ... take a peek up the odd driveway. Its not very far off the road. And not that far out of town. A regular pushie may have already seen it. Google earth streetview MAY show it ... if you get lucky.

If you get to West Melton ..... :no:

[Transalper]

Well, yes you sort of can see it from street view, if you look closely.

[FJRider]

Well, yes you sort of can see it from street view, if you look closely.

Just shows how close to the road it is :rockon: ... perhaps not as difficult to find as I thought it could be... :sunny:

[sleemanj]

Old tag is just before West Melton on West Coast Road. I saw it on the way back.

The new tag. Hmm, something about a honey drink.

[FJRider]

All these people that have nothing ELSE to do on a week day, except take photo's of their bikes in odd locations ... :rockon:


Old and the new ... Ferrymead was the old one :wari: ... and the new one is down by the river :gob: ... shouldn't be hard to figure out which river. :innocent: This river is IN Christchurch ... :sunny:

[Transalper]

No need to search for that one, it's an easy one.
Since I can't go to it I suppose I could bring the map up to date instead.

[FJRider]

Can't make it too hard ... nobody would play ...

Ok so it was a bit longer than an hour, has he gone yet?

Catherine, Jerome, and Lawrence can help you find this one

[Transalper]

Well, don't reconise it so started searching the clues.
They are all Saints, there is also a Mt Catherine, a Lawrence River both in Canterbury, cant find much on Jerome searches other than the Saint result.
Nothing really helpful yet and I guess my biggest problem is I just really don't know the context in which the clues were intended.

Catherine - well, which one, there's a few.

Lawrence and Jerome both hold students amongst their patronage.

So we probably assume that it's a school house.

You'd assume wrong

[Transalper]

lol, depending where you look there are 3 to 20 different St Catherines, 11 St Jeromes (all though I think I know which one answer sounds reasonable).
I expected just one Saint of each name but.

I'm thinking Library to start with. No idea where.

Many saints are claimed by more than one group. Jerome is the patron saint of librarians (and others). Lawrence is the patron saint of archivists but is often referred to as "Lawrence the Librarian." Catherine is the patron saint of, inter alles, librarians, archivists, philosophers and more.


I really thought that would be an easy clue

Google street view wont help you with this one either

[Transalper]

Obviously it's been a long time since I had any religous education and even then I'll admit I didn't subscribe to it much.
Not a totally bad clue, Library did seem to pop up quickly as a common denominator.
Knowing what we are looking for don't nessacerliy help knowing where to look though.
A lot of clues given on previous tags have turned out to be more directly related to street or place names.
I guess when we start trying to work them out it's easy to go off in one direction and get stuck along a line of thought unable to see other possabilitys.
They usually seem so obvious once the answer has been reveiled.

Still have no idea where but off on the cycle today and not expecting to see it in the places we will be.

[Kickaha]

Well, nothing to support this theory really but Sefton might be worth checking out.

A) The MHR has no reserve

A few times pushing and you'll realise the value of keeping some cash stashed in your jacket somewhere, even just a 20 will pay for any gas you wind up pumping before you realise the wallet is at home.

St Thomas Church, South Eyre Rd

St Thomas’ Anglican – 590 South Eyre Road.
The Eyreton settlers originally attended St Paul’s at Flaxton, but that church
was not always accessible due to bad roading and flooding, so it was decided
to establish a church at Eyreton. Marmaduke Dixon donated land for a church
and cemetery. The Price Brothers were the builders and the church was
dedicated on 17 February 1874. The church was attached to the Kaiapoi
Parish and was first served by the Rev. Wm. W. Willock.
The Eyreton Cemetery is alongside.


The Chch lot seem reluctant to move beyond the city limits so I've moved it a bit closer to town

Ohoka – St Albans Anglican – 528 Mill Road
St Albans was consecrated on 31 May 1882. Robert Miller built the 130-seat
church after the completion of the Vicarage. B. W. Mountfort was the architect.

The vicarage was converted in 1909 to become the Te Waipounamu Maori
Girls’ College, a residential school for young Maori women. In 1926, the
college moved to Christchurch and the building became a private residence.
St Albans celebrated its centennial in 1982.

St Albans is named after the Roman soldier who was born at Verulamium in
the latter part of the third century. He embraced Christianity, and became a
renowned teacher, subsequently suffering martyrdom for his faith.

You have to look "Beyond the mound" to find the next one
