Tag o rama!

[Karloz15]

met a mate at the pine man on our bikes the other week to grab this tag, as i rolled up the the MAN, my bike shat itself, (suspected blowen head gasket), should have taken the pic anyways, but instead pushed it down to BP and waited for the rescue team, only pic i got was of the bike as we craned it onto the back of my mates truck. will post pic when i find...that would have been a hard tag to replicate, lol.

[Aristocat]

Old Tag: Main street of Tokoroa (and now in a festive mood)

New Tag: On the way home, down a damn fine alternative to Old Taupo. From Arapuni Dam turn onto Darby, then Lake Arapuni Road. This becomes Wiltsdown (which crosses Old Taupo), then hang a right onto Paraonui, it takes you right into Tokoroa. Good fun; the usual loose metal here and there and a bit of fresh-ish seal, but you're big girls now.

And now I need new tyres. Sigh.

Yup. Paraonui, Wiltsdown etc are all good. Used to live on Paraonui a few moons ago. At one stage they were part on the NZ rally champs.

[slofox]

A nice boxinhg day ride has yielded up the old tag and produced a new one...here ya go.


OLD TAG: Sign pointing at Heteri Hill, along Wiltsdown Rd (or was it Lake Aapuni Road?). Somewhere along there anyway.


NEW TAG: Much closer to home but a little tricky unless you have walked a certain Hamilton City walking track. Access is via a no exit road on the Western boundary of the city. The name of the road has a connection to a Footrot Flats character...You have to ignore the "No Vehicles!" sign to get to the actual site. Nobody came roaring out with their shotgun when I went in and got the pic so you oughta be OK...probably..maybe...

Maybe I really should print out the clues as well as the current tag to help in my endeavors. First checked google maps, looks like a nice little loop so will go down Howdens Road. No luck, so turn around and go back for Wallace Road. Ride to the end and see something about no admittance, Rottweilers on the loose etc etc, I though that it seemed an unusual way to stop people going down there but "Hey Ho" Slofox did say something about not meant to be down there. YES there are ROTTWEILERS on the LOOSE at the end of the driveway. Thankfully they were tame...ish and didnt rush me until I had manage to turn the whale around in the narrow drive. So slowly pootle back down the road until I find where I originally intended to be.

253542

Old Tag was Wallace Road

253543

New Tag is situated on Slofoxs' favourite piece of tarmac (your favourite was SH1 wasnt it Slofox?)

[Aristocat]

Hey St_Gabriel, can you please be a bit more forthcoming with details of the whereabouts of your tags? This one is as bad as the childrens playground tractor; i.e. unless you already know where it is you're never going to find it. "SH1" isn't much of a clue, sorry. :argh:

Sorry about the lack of clues on this one Aristocat, on second viewing it is quite vague, though you should be able to deduce that the tag is located on SH1 so limits the roads you must travel, and if you look at the picture (click on it then make it original size) you will be able to see a couple of signs, one being a Mitre 10 Mega logo, one being for Fitness fusion, and then a tall sign with lots of little signs which is usually indicative of an industrial estate. Hmmm, lets put these clues together shall we????

The idea is to get out and explore, maybe PM the tagger for further clues or a resignation that you have no idea.

But anyhow, try going here 37.89313 South, 175.47539 East and hell, if thats even too hard to figure out click HERE (http://maps.lmgtfy.com/?q=37.89313s%2C+175.47539e)

Look a bit more closely. The reflection, with the help of a phone book gives you the address. :sherlock:

You started on Ruakura Rd in Hamilton? not many twisty roads to really test a bike out unless you head out west past Dinsdale, the road to Raglan has some nice roads that come off it (like going to bridal veil falls). Too many straight roads here, found a road out to Paeroa that ha a 7km long straight. Not even a kink.

Photo's probably a wee different looking, forgot to save the old one to my phone so I could match the angles and shiz.
Had a different place in mind for the new tag, but the sun was in the wrong place at the wrong time and I couldn't get a nice shot, so it can wait for another day :)

You don't need to ride up onto the footpath if you don't want to, just made my photo a whee bit easier

Yep. I do an' orl...might even have used it as a tag not too long ago...:rofl:

Sorry Scream, didnt mean that how it was obviously taken, I was inferring that Slofox lived around the corner so would know exactly where it was. Geez the amount of retags I have done, I would be the last to complain :banana:

Just went to get the tag only to find the camera battery dead :facepalm:

Not the first time this has happened.

I really need to learn how to use the dslr!

[slofox]

Hmmm - I don't have the foggiest notion...:blink:

Had a really nice ride anyway - just the standard route to Otorohanga via 39 then back 'round the west side of Kakapuka, Paterangi Rd home. Very nice in the early morning - dead still, cool, air clear enough to see forever, hardly any traffic. Love it when that happens.

[slofox]

Sil3nt, ya reckon y'could drop a clue in there somewhere? I have, simply, no idea where that tag is at...mind you, I got no gas in the friggin' bike to go get it anyway so what the hell...

EDIT: Actually, does the title of the pic mean what I think it means? Perhaps I ought to have looked more closely before I asked for a clue...

I cant see anything in any of the photos to suggest where/what this tag is.

[sil3nt]

Clue: It is at the end of a disabled car park and this is only just outside said carpark. Actually without knowing this you might never find it haha.

And awa there are clues just maybe not in the actual photo itself!

[St_Gabriel]

Try downloading the picture, may help you on the correct path.

A co-workers wife works for them so was going to email her the pic to locate for me but looks like Slofox may get it before I even get the chance. Either that or was just going to take a copy of the pic and ask randoms when I got to the general area.

Yea, I picked that up as well. The uni website has a detailed map of the place, with carparks etc marked out. Better info than Google. There is light drizzle here, so I'm spending the day catching up with my woodworking in the garage.

[slofox]

Hokay, here we go.

Old Tag: Round the back of the car park off Gate 5, Hillcrest Road, Waikato University. Apologies for camera movement - it was early and dark.

New Tag: The sign should be pretty self explanatory. Not in Hamilton awa355...:whistle:


Damn cold out there this morning. Got a little late and was thinking to "hurry" just slightly on the way home. But came up behind a highway patrol gentleman. Eventually he moved over and slowed down and allowed me to pass, then drifted back out of sight. Very polite, I thought.

I wont be going anywhere much for a while. I have my bike trip down the sth isl in May and need to replace my travel funds that I have been nibbling into. Also using the bike for work as much as possible. ( cheaper than the car).

Ask and ye shall receive, OR whose silly effin idea was it to go for a ride today. Bloody traffic/police - speed paranoia does not add up to a enjoyable ride. But was nice to get out on the bike anyhow (even if it was just a quick blast to keep it running and charged)

New Tag - Google is your friend

That would be the sculpture park on Scotsmans Valley Road?? I know where the new tag is......... :innocent:

Been up there once when I had the SV. Nice ride.

[slofox]

Old Tag: Gudex Memorial, Gudex Road, up top of Maungakawa Reserve. Great view from up there. And a nice ride up the hill as well.

New Tag: That's a dairy factory you see in the background. The trick is to get that particular road sign in the pic...kinda east of SH1 - not too far off the beaten track. Even stay-at-home taggers should be able to find this one...:whistle:

261922 261921


The Gudex Memorial is on the site of an old sanatorium. These places were usually stuck up top of some hill somewhere. I've always wondered why this was. Was it so the wind blew the contagion away from the general population? Was it because higher altitude was supposed to be somehow healing? Or was it just to give the dying a decent view to kick off from?

Verily, 'tis a mindfucker...:wacko:

[Toffee]

Old Tag: Stop sign ahead sign on Zigzag road with view of Hautapu Dairy Factory (not sure why the colour went weird?)

New Tag: Don ROWlands Centre

Went for a run up to the Gudex memorial after nabbing the tag. The place does have a strange 'feel' about it, specially at sunset. Then had a run over French Pass hence the lack of light for the new tag.

[nanahc]

Old Tag : Don Rowlands Centre sign at lake karapiro.

New Tag : Animates.

Wasnt an easy sign to find at 10:30pm missed all the signs at first telling me where it is so i was just idleing along for a while till i spotted one lol.
Decided to use Animates for the new tag as my woman dragged me there the other day so we could get a pet bunny so i thought id go there and keep the tag local
for those who dont like to leave town and maybe get a race going. :chase: :scooter: :scooter: :scooter:

[slofox]

OK OK, I wasn't gonna go out there this morning but the day looked inviting and I figured I might just get to Raggers and back before the steel belt appeared through the back tyre...(it didn't).

Just so as not to rain on anyone's parade (like Silent f'rinstance...), the new tag is pretty close to the old so the ride is still there for those who want to zip over the hill. That new seal on the hill is gunna be the shizz when it's finished. Although there are a couple of seams between strips that are far from flat...


OLD TAG: Like the man said, Manu Bay

NEW TAG: Same ocean, different viewpoint.

[sil3nt]

On the way back home saw a car in the ditch by the golf course about 2 metres after some roadworks :facepalm: straight piece of road as well. Never had so encountered so much roadworks on a ride before. Not just on the way to Raglan but also in Hamilton. Never seen so many cops either. Got breath tested on the way out by the Ham East cop station and saw 5+ cops on the way to and from raglan.

I did kinda mention it...sort of..."That new seal on the hill is gunna be the shizz when it's finished."

SH39 south of Whatawhata is also GUR at present. As is SH1 just norf of the dairy factory. That time of the year when every regional council goes all out to fix roads before winter I suppose - or maybe before their budget runs out...

Sure is a pain though, I agree...

Anniversary weekend, I went on the Boyds' ride to Taranaki. Mt Messenger is all done in that stuff. Nice ride over that.

[ZondaX15]

Those roads on the deviation were pretty ridiculous. Except when we got moving. Me being the proud rider (not owner, Dad payed for the bike :P) of dat sexy blue DT200, I found this most enjoyable. Especially overtaking Screams mate on his VT250. I must say, the freshly completed bits weren't terribly glorious for me, cos trail tires.

Thanks Sil3nt for tagging along, you were great company. I didn't see you leave though, but I imagine it was my legendary navigational skills around Raglan, taking us through the main street as opposed to the quicker way that you must have gone. I think we did see you ~10 cars ahead of us at one point just after Te Uku.

I was gonna ask if they were doing what they did on Mt Messenger. It was a PIG when they were doing it. The father-in-law said he has some hairy moments in the race car transporter when they stopped them on the hill. He said 3 trucks in a row spinning wheels is not fun!

But holy shit balls batman...it's well worth it! The grip is insane and it holds up so much better.

It's pretty much the same deal. I was over there again this morning and the western side is pretty much all done. They've also resealed the eastern side but with chip seal. Which has tons of loose blue chip on it right now. How unusual.

The hotmix joins are a little uneven though - some of the strips look to be a little higher than the one beside...

Still, the grip, as you say, is indeed lacking in sanity. :devil2:

My darling wife Mrs Dodgy :love: spotted a very nice 600 Bandit on retard me and said to me " Oi Dodgy......How about I get me another bike?" Who am I to question her? So seeing as how it was such a nice day today we went for a wee toodle to get the tag.

Will need to find my thermals it is fkn freezing this morning :cold:

Never timed a run to Kawhia before. Would leaving at 8 be too late?

8.00am would be fine - it's about an hour each way. And yes, by all means feel free to firebomb the place...:devil2:

Here ya go lads and lasses - new tag. Fine ride out there this morning albeit cold as to start with.

OLD TAG: Sign outside Oparau Roadhouse, just before Kawhia. We got this on the way home - blew right past it on the way out...
NEW TAG: Sign tells all. We were tempted to use the AOS dude with the big rifle at Pirongia for the new tag but we figured he'd probably move on before anyone could get him.

If ever you've ridden 39
You'll easily find this tag just fine
Not too far from Meadway Road
So on ya bike an' give it the goad. (hell's bells...:facepalm:)

Must be winter .. I drove past this twice in my car.

Me and Scream decided to go on get the tag, cos it hasn't been done for a couple of centuries. We didn't get far before it got too cold, so sorry if the new tag is a re-post.

Both of ya can cut ya whining...I was rich before I had a kid (and a bigger mortgage)!! At least before the kid, the beer fridge was always full, we had two bikes, two cars, and eating out wasn't having fish and chips once every 6 weeks.

They warn ya. By god do they warn ya. But did I listen? Noooo. Let's have a kid she said. It'll be fine she said. I want the bloody beer fridge full again!! :crybaby:

I was wondering if that old tag was in Pirongia. Kinda put 2 & 2 together but didn't know for sure.

After a ride through manky weather and roads, the tag has been unearthed...Wouldn't recommend Waitomo Valley Road just now. There's a logging operation happening part way along that has left the road covered with shitty clay with a slip factor of about ten million. Oh and it gets all over the bike as well. Gixxer looked like a trail bike by the time I got home today. Might even hafta ..."clean" it...shudder. :thud:

OLD TAG: Signpost near Waitomo Caves.

NEW TAG: This is the only E85 fuel pump in the Tron.


Should be easy - it's close to home and the options are very few. Picture is a little fuzzy - it was gloomy at that hour of the day. Not very imaginative but time was of the essence this morning.

Man up, you got the time, you can get it lol (I've been sleeping with a roll of toilet paper for the last week and not for the usual reason guys sleep with toilet paper haha). If your nose is that bad just tampon it.:msn-wink:

While you're there go Limeworks Loop road way there or back, it's a cruisy little road with not much traffic (and not surrounded with trees so no slippery leaves lol).
