:psst: SV reports the shoe tag I grabbed as 308 Apley Road. I assume SV is good enough for the map, coz I know the street numbers can be a bit dodgy at times?

i found that one,i figured after someone post the road name that it could be close to that online art place and indeed it was.What i want to know is how you found it,or was the clue all you needed?Great effort mate in having all those tags,i know just trying to get three was difficult enough
I need to know where the hastings one was.

I thought when the man with the nice jiggly avatar (one fast tl1000) posted the actual road name that the tag would be moved pretty quickly, but taggers are a funny lot - sometimes they do nothing for weeks and other times they tag like crazy men (and women).
There was a heap more shoes on the fence there than what it shows on SV so finding it wasn't too hard even in the dark and rain.
There's some lovely roads up there and I plan to go back in more sunny weather.

Would have gone and tagged this today . Today however is the sort of day that "I am thankful I have a car to drive"

[bi-winning]

I shot out and got the Tag today. Timing could have been better, cos when i got to Glen Massey School, it was 10 to 3 and there were kids and parents everywhere, probly not a good idea to rock up an start taking pictures, so i went for ride down the road further and came back later.

Old tag = Glen Massey School.
New Tag = Now I know its not far from the old one, and you sure shouldnt need any cryptic rhymes to get hints to find it. But its a wicked road to ride so it would be a good excese to go out and get it. Not far from SH 22 for Aucklanders to shoot down and pick it up either.

Going North

Going South

keep a track of it by going to the map(in my sig) and keeping a link to it in YOUR sig??Its going north for the second time

Hey guys when you pick up a tag can you be a bit more precise with location.If you have a google account you can edit or place markers on the map,i can do the pics etc if you arent sure of that part,

It's got ta make ya wonder. they had the MAG-NZ Official Launch Ride (Sun 3 Oct) (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/127898-MAG-NZ-Official-Launch-Ride-(Sun-3-Oct)) (I was there) and yet the tag still stayed put. There's a 1/3 of NZ's Pop in Dork-land and yet a tag will sit there like it's stuck in a Black-hole. Mmm that could be the reason. A black-hole is caused by excessive mass causing gravity to cause a massive collapse, ending a super Dense Mass that sucks the living mass out of anything that gets close to it (that's why I need the 1400, so that I have the power to get free of it).
This Weekend probably 1/2 the Dorkland KB riders will stop at the new Tag spot this weekend without thinking at shift it for us. There is no reason they shouldn't know where it is, but I will not be surprised if it hasn't got shifted over the WE:facepalm:

Yes but the Auckland Tag wasnt moving either. The Aucklanders dont like riding more than 40km apparently, they'll only go for the tag when it's on the North Shore or out west Auckland. Every time I get the tag I take it down south and then diss them for not getting it.

[BMWST?]

thats a pity it seemmed to be a good game when it started....however our game is nothing like it once was either

[RiderInBlack]

Ah perhaps I shall go for a lazy wee ride down and bring that further norf tomorrow:yes:That would be awesome. Was thinking of heading it out ta Mangawhai. Kaiwaka would be cool too, or The "Swing Cow" South of the Hill.

[RiderInBlack]

Is this current tag somewhere around Brynderwyn?Ya not from around here are ya. That Look-out is as far from Brynderwyn as it is from Dorkland, down the road haunted by the "Ginga Cop" that the Dorklanders used ta bitch about.

[RiderInBlack]

Every time I get the tag I take it down south and then diss them for not getting it.LOL, a rider after my own heart:love: I do the same ta them when I take the NZ-Tag North:innocent: If they aren't more on to it when the tag is heading South again, I'll by-pass Dorkland altogether to put it in reach of riders that enjoy playing "Tag".

I suppose I'm just more into it because of the distance I travel for my commute. I go from south of the Bombays to Albany most days, so I dont mind anywhere between there and out east Aucks for getting/setting tags.

Turned north instead of south, this will be a mid week Jobie if it doesn't move before hand, Mangawhai could be on the cards.

The tag was at the entrance to the walkway down to Whale Bay, looking on google maps you will see almost a full loop just beyond Woolleys Bay heading south to Matapouri Bay on the loop road from Hikurangi to Whangarei via Tutuaka Coast.

Was going ta put it at Broadwood, but lucky for you Guys I had ta cut my day short. Brakes had seized at Waipapakauri and had to do a on the spot repair job. I then stopped at Kaitaia Motorcycles and got them ta check the brakes out. Awesome dudes those Guys. got me sorted and didn't charge me a penny:Punk::wari: I then decided that it was better ta take the more direct route home. Didn't fancy getting stuck in Broadwood if the brakes played up again.
All in all though, I have had a really good day.

Seeing lots of bikes up here. Don't know what's up with the Rest of the Norf Crew. It's not as if I've made the tag hard to find.
Not much I can do about it myself at the moment as my bike ("Bagheera") is down SI on loan to Korumba until 5/1/11. Korumba is being spoiled, as I don't normally loan my bike out to anyone (geez, I must be getting soft in my old age).

i.e. the rule about no file photos.

[Smifffy]

Of course that's just my interpretation, and I seek clarification from the match official.

It has been known for the old ... and new tag, to be posted ... at the same time ... :innocent:As long as the old tag is posted before or in the same post as the new tag, there is no problem. I've done that before. But ya can only claim the old if ya the first one to get your pic up on here first. Saying ya going for it doesn't count for shit. I have raced a rider back to my PC before and only beaten him to posting the tag because I had Broadband & he was on dial-up.

[Highlander]

I thought they had to be done in order?

i.e. no "after" shot can be taken before getting the tag?

It would certainly make my Tues ride a lot easier if I'm mistaken.

I understood it as RIB has explained.
Like Smifffy has said in the spirit of fair play, where I can I hit them in order but this time I got the Opotiki shot while I was going past, then the BOP Polytech one on my way home about 2 hours apart.

If Smifffy has the correct interperetation the old tag is still valid.

[BMWST?]

my take on it is no file photos to CLAIM a tag,and i reckon as long as the new is taken on the same "mission" as the old then thats fair.The distances can be larger than the round town games so I think its fair

[Smifffy]

Ok, I was planning two missions for this tag, but now I may be able to do it in one.

:bleh:

[banditrider]

That was part of my thinking in putting it there.

Could get a photo of somewhere SOUTH of there first, then get this spot on your way through. You just run the chance of someone else grabbing this tag before you.

Actually will be going South after that particular point as we've decided we're doing the Waioeka and the whole East Cape loop as part of the Southern Cross. Makes for a big day between points 2 and three - but hey what's an extra 200km...

Plus it looks like Smiffy is going to get it anyway...

I'll have patchy internet (relying on motels etc) from Friday but I'll try and keep an eye on the thread...

Actually if someone moves it South of Palmy by say Thursday, I'd be able to take it back across the straights. Glove thrown down - accept the challenge!

Good on you.
Often thought of doing a Tauranga - East Cape - Gisborne - Tauranga day ride.

So wish I was doing the Southern Cross.

FFS someone move the thing, instead of discussing it. I dropped it at the ferry in March last year :eek:Yep and that was heading South. Ya put it back on the Ferry heading North in May. Players are getting thin on the ground but it could still be on the Ferry by the end of March if ya lucky. As long as it is moving at least that shows there is still an interest, aye:msn-wink:

Still there in 2 weeks I'll move it again.

you tellin me you only get 200 k a tank? how big (small) is it! :shit:

[Highlander]

you tellin me you only get 200 k a tank? how big (small) is it! :shit:

With a mixture of town and open road riding the fuel warning comes on (with 4 litres left), usually somewhere around 220km. Have hit 240km before the fuel warning a couple of times on a trip. Desn't seem to make any difference if I'm solo or two up (probably a touch quicker pace solo makes up for the extra weight of two up?). I know I can get 45km with the fuel warning on so in theory I could get just short of 300km from a tank but would rather fill it than push it.

Under all that fairing they only put a 17l tank. Have read somewhere that with the non ABS model (such as mine) you can get a 3.5litre auxilliary tank made to fit the gap where the ABS processor would have been.

thats a pity...a reckon a tad over 20 l would be nice.I like a bike that can do over 300 ie Welly Tauraunga with only one stop or even welly Auckland with only one stop.Must look up the capacities of the other beemer sport tourers...(the 1200st has 21 l,and the 1150 rs has 22 litres)

It is the one thing I don't like about this bike. But the reality is my bladder fills at about the same rate, so emptying one tank and filling the other is a stop I am prepared to make, I just have to think about where.

nice little halls like this are dotted all over the country....who looks after them?

[Smifffy]

nice little halls like this are dotted all over the country....who looks after them?

Usually local councils, with input from a "hall committee". Unfortunately in smaller communities, with the age and upkeep of these halls there are some (I'd like to say many but don't have figures) that are being 'consolidated'. Particularly so since there aren't as many dances & socials etc held in them.

For instance, even in these last two tags the comment was made that the two halls weren't too far apart. Council beancounters often notice this too and decide that the better of the two halls should be kept and the other disposed of. The only thing that has saved some have been the fact that they are war memorials, but I doubt even that will hold much sway in time to come..
