NZ-wide pass the tag

[junkmanjoe]

:scooter:......nz Wide Pass The Tag.....:scooter:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:scooter:....................the challenge......................:scooter:

the first rider must be from Invercargill or close.
The first picture is to be of bike or rider, and i belive there is a sign post down there some where that points to stewart island. Bluff maybe ??.
after this photo is posted up, then this rider needs to start the inter island tag run.

:scooter:.................the game...............:scooter:

riders need to place the tag far enough north for the next district's or towns rider to tag it and so on..... the idea is to travel the tag up the length of new zealand from bottom to top.

when the tag reaches picton, rider only needs to take a photo of the name of one of the ferrys, in port. and post it up.

the tag will then start in the north island.

A wellington rider will need to take a photo of the same ferry in port and post it up.

the same rider will need to start the north island run, by posting the next tag..

the end result will be the last rider with a picture of his bike, or person's at the sign post at cape Reinga.

please add location with your tag.
please dont make the tags to difficult to find, as to keep the game rolling.

any questions.....:scooter:

okies game on...:scooter:

and here is "the map" (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=118362401955073790939.000472c9c14f12cfeefc2&z=5)

[Monstaman]

Game on for Central Otago ...North Of The Bottom!! :eek5:

When you are ready Southland :woohoo:

junkmanjoe, this will be a great game, I am keen to more of the loopies in and around my area doin the same... they need their asses kicked!

We make take a group ride pick instead of individual but the tag will remain the same.

[junkmanjoe]

the idea is to invole all aeras and all riders.
it may take a while but im sure it will happen..

[Hawkeye]

So! The Wellington 'Taggers' are waiting. :wait::wait::corn::wait::corn::wait:

I can feel a group photo coming on when it hits Wellington.:banana::banana:

[BMWST?]

this will pass through welly and kapiti pretty quickly i think going on last nights example,but we need to loop it back through the rapa...or visa versa

[aer0]

:) looking forward to this one :D

[Jiminy]

So where is the tag? :clap:

[junkmanjoe]

well i thought this went down the shitter...
come on south islanders,,,,,,start it off,,:cool:

[tigertim20]

If nobody in gore or invercargil wants to syart it off, I would be happy to start it off at the south end of dunedin, say Green Island or something?

[junkmanjoe]

must be some one down that way..i know the weather is shit in all, so my be give it few more days, may be a hearty sole down there some where willing to kick it in to gear....

[junkmanjoe]

ill cheat and start it off..as its winter and very shit road conditions down south at the moment. ill start it off. Dunedin riders, please carry the tag on as per game rules..

Mine eyes, Mine eyes....I can't see the bike......Where's the bike?

[BMWST?]

i have made a post on a southern riders forum....we might get a real start yet!

[rosie631]

Only just found this thread. Saw your post on the southern rider website. Doesn't look like anyone down south too keen to play. Maybe should start at the top of the north and work downwards? Just a suggestion.

[BMWST?]

OK lets just do a loop of the norf island....
NORTHLAND RIDERS.......

[aer0]

us wellington folk are keen and waiting for it

[BMWST?]

us wellington folk are keen and waiting for it

maybe we should start it? i put a post on the northland tag game....

[Highlander]

I thought this was a good idea, shame it got stuck in Dunedin.

[Laava]

So you are wanting someone to head up to the Cape and kick it off, right? I am unable to go that far for a couple weeks or more but happy to be involved where I can.

[BMWST?]

hey its only a game.....when you can kick it off just post the first tag here...just to be clear the man who starts it takes two pics....one at cape reinga then one as far south as he wants to go,and that tag is passed down to the next town etc etc ...Should prolly make the tags or clues pretty straight forward .Once it gets down to welly we can maybe see if its going south or back up teh other side.....

[Highlander]

I'm assuming as with the rest of the Tag O Rama threads they do have to be "fresh" photos, not from your archive of old trips? :scooter:

I just happen to have archived photos from the one trip showing my bike at Cape Reinga, Wellington Ferry, Picton Ferry and Bluff (as I'm sure a few others here have). Not many other photos from that week mind you.

fresh photos cos the idea is to get out n ride!

[rosie631]

Can we still do the original one as well as the new idea? I'm in Chch so a days ride to get it from Dunedin and another day to take it to Nelson. Since it looks like no one else in the South Island is up for it. Only problem is that I need to get the risers and bars on the new bike sorted and that won't be for about a month.

we can do the original one too,once summer comes and everyone is out riding we can have another crack at it!

Ok, happy to start it in the Southern end of Central, weather dependent I will head out tomorrow morning (Tuesday 11th Aug) and take a tag pic, it will be road friendly as I will take the Tardis.

So no Bluff sign with that then?

How come this is in General Bike Ravings?

No Bluff sign ... that is 340 km each way from here, to far for a work day "meeting", as is was I did 310 km, endured 4 Mr.Plods (no tickets) to get that pic.

Dunno why it is in general ravings, JMJ started it so I suppose that is where he put it.

[Rockbuddy]

:shutup: the reason this game hasnt started in bluff, no one lives down there, everyone is north of the bombays, people only go there to see if it really exists :whistle:

[Transalper]

lols, I've been close but as yet haven't seen it (Bluff) myself either.
I'm tempted to say I'll show ya, but reality is I can't really afford the ~$110 (round trip from ChCh) gas money :violin: and every year I find I get just a little more intollerent of the :cold: so I guess unless i have a huge insane :wacko: moment I won't show ya after alll. :pinch:

Well no other bastid has done ANYTHING to start it, this is Northern Southland, Western East Otago and Eastern Central Otago.

You want a Bluff sign ... don't be a poof and get angry on here ... go get it!

[Laava]

Well said that man. Also, just a thought, do we make the "tag" a small novelty item that must be moved from end to end? Such as a tiny stuffed toy keyring size or a patch. Something that can be attached with a pushpin to whatever is in the tag photo? or a tiny scroll that can be signed or a deed to the south island or somesuch?

[Monstaman]

Ummmm.......... NAHHH :oi-grr:

Here you are Jatz, just for you, dusted off my continum transfuctioner and ignited the flux capacitor on the Tardis ... whoa, back before I left ... fuck I'm good!!

Don't worry, once you get your first tag, insanity is the norm. You get used to it quickly, you'll see :yes:

[Transalper]

But I'm having enough trouble with the local Christchurch game without adding a second dose.

Honestly if someone were silly enough to finance the fuel for a Bluff run I'd do it... :stupid:(have to be next Saturday though).

Me too and I am 420km closer!!! :bleh:

Is there anyone from the KB contingent down there or not?

[chanceyy]

I have moved this to meeting & events .. its an event after all

only found this thread by accident so moved for higher profile & some more riders who can play the game

yup manawatu are playing the game so once it gets to the north island should be sweet as ..

Ya want I could pick you up on the way through. Have to be next w/end though....

damn near took off yesterday, lucky I didn't, pissin down here

[Transalper]

Shit dude I'll be free from Friday afternoon on. J is busy all weekend so I can play.

Big BUT is that I assume you be wanting to go the long straight bits faster than me. I want to put some more kms on the engine before I sit on 100kph all day. I'm thinking stop in at Raes Junction, collect it, then bounce it off the Bluff Sign and up to the Dunedin Virtual start that Joe initiated and carry it toward home. You could practically drop at Picton or within a two hour ride of Picton by the time u r home.:niceone:

I'll try and get Fri off too, happy to go at any speed, I think I just need to go for a ride :scooter:

[junkmanjoe]

Wow....i thought this was a dead thread for sure..thanks heaps guys and girls for keeping it alive. cheers mods, for moving it up the ladder.
im stoked its going to happen...
remember game is open to all riders what ever your bike is.. after all its only a game..

thanks
JMJ

[BMWST?]

I'll try and get Fri off too, happy to go at any speed, I think I just need to go for a ride :scooter:

so you guys gonna drop this in chch or take it further north....or west?

[Transalper]

That's a good question. Jatz and I and our extras :laugh: are booked in at Omarama for a night and then my thinking was I expect I will grab it at Raes Junction then drop it at Bluff. Jatz can pick it up at Bluff and who knows where he'll drop it.... maybe even Motueka?
Where ever it ends up at the end of the weekend I doubt it will be 'stuck' while still in the SI any more, until it returns after the NI has had it at least.

[ckai]

shit people. You SI always harp on about how much better the mainland is compared to us filthy buggers up here but if this started up north it would already have made it to the south island by now!

Shocking :laugh:

Is it a bit cold down there for rides? Bloody soft! haha

[JATZ]

Where I drop it depends on how much interest is shown between now and when I post my tag........
Could be Dunners or Christchurch or Westport maybe even at the ferrry, I'd hate for it ot get stuck again.
And it better not get stuck in the Norf Isl. either, I only go there for weddings and funerals

how do you judge how much interest there is...i posted on the southern riders forum and there was barely a murmur.....granted winter can be dodgy in the cetreof otago,but there was very little interest shown,the chch tag guys have shown the only interest(bar the Dunedin guy)

[RiderInBlack]

Is it a bit cold down there for rides? Bloody soft! hahaI wouldn't harp on on how great we are in the North if I was you. They gave us the option of starting this up in The Norf Cape (see http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1129340817&postcount=57) and we still haven't dragged our arses up there yet. We have only had rain to deal with. Better they have had way more than that to deal with. How about ya get this started by ride ta the Cape or the Bluff? Na I thought not. All piss and wind.

So it was you buggers up North that screwed it up!! And it's us Central NI people that have to prop up the good of the island. hahah

Maybe I should take the day off and mission up to the cape. Shouldn't take more than a few hours. Could do it in a day I reckon. All for the good of the game...;)

Are there any KBers at the tips of the island? Actually dumb question, obviously not. Maybe this is a summer mission type of game.

PS. The rain has been pretty extreme. I saw at least 1 puddles form on my driveway...

[JATZ]

:Oi:

This is starting in Bluff by god. GPS track logged, day off work sorted, Bike fuelled and ready.........

Only 2255 k's to go

I would be sooooo pissed if I got home to find it already tagged somewhere else

[junkmanjoe]

Jatz mate
you have the ball..you are go for launch..
i think a madman mission just to take a photo, is well worthy, of a gold plated slab of beer.
you could just tag the whole south island, and dump it at the ferry..

ON YA MATE.

..:ride:....ride like the wind mate...:ride:

Interest shown. Drop it between the mighty river town and robbies statue and I will pick it up and carry it another 100 k or so. I know we have been slow to pick this one up but I think the point of PTT is to get people out on their bikes for more than the weekday commute so whilst I am in awe of your road trip from motueka to the Bluff and back I would be disappointed if the tag flew past on SH 1 without showing a few good photos of my region. (and yes I know I have had a month to pick it up frm the railway station (which I pass daily) and carry it all of 3 k to work but I don't think that would have been helpful.

JATZ just arrived at my place now we're off on the next leg.:bye::scooter::scooter:

[Transalper]

So we picked up the Raes Junction tag and actually have to Monstaman for getting us on those roads this morning.
Haven't done the Alexander to Rae's Junction roads before, it's absolutely superb.
I found it a bit hard to apply enough attention to the road at times while being distracted by the views and interesting old cob cottages and ruins scattered about the place. We'll be back there when we have more time for a better explore.
Even without the views it's a great road fully of nice sweeping bends.
Note, you can't buy food at Rae's Junction Hotel, it's permanently closed on account of it now being a private residence. Lucky we ate at Alex.

[Transalper]

Then we went to, wait for it.... Bluff :woohoo: like you didn't already know the plan ;)
Seems at Bluff there's a lot of people trying to get their photo taken with a certain sign.

I got home an hour ago.
JATZ and Mrs JATZ with the next stage on their camera are hold up in Oamaru for the night from what I hear.

# 1 - After I shoooed all the rugby heads away
# 2 - New Tag....I was sort of looking for a "We hope you enjoyed your stay in Dunedin" sign on the way out of Dunners but it was dark and foggy and I was pissing about with the GPS while dodging trucks

[Monstaman]

Well done JATZ and Transalper :banana: :headbang:

I have Wednesday off and I was gonna do a quick squirt down if you didn't make it.

We also went to some other places on our travels, see attached pics.
Absolutely stunning roads down that way, next time I'll have a bit more time and have a real good look around and take some more photos
We only had one car infront of us between Omarama and Alex and we didn't have to pass him either as it was close to Alex, brilliant
Central Otago and the Catlins needs further exploring on the DR
Great weather except for the last 300 odd k, few showers then rain as it started getting dark, with some ooops moments to keep me focused
The TransAlpers need an extra beer for getting back to Chch on the sat night, mamoth effort that one
Might have to do it again when the monkey butt gets better :lol:

Pic 1 Lake Tekapo
Pic 2 A statue of a dog ? good grief
Pic 3 Lookout on the Catlins road
Pic 4 What you see if you turn around after tagging the tag

:scooter:......nz Wide Pass The Tag.....:scooter:


riders need to place the tag far enough north for the next district's or towns rider to tag it and so on..... the idea is to travel the tag up the length of new zealand from bottom to top.

any questions.....:scooter::

Jest one...what sort of distances are appropriate....say I picked the tag up in Picton and dropped it off in Bulls....just to piss of the Welly riders.....

[RiderInBlack]

Jest one...what sort of distances are appropriate....say I picked the tag up in Picton and dropped it off in Bulls....just to piss of the Welly riders.....Then someone from the Wanganui would pick it up and drop in Te Kuiti and I'll pick it up and drop it at the Cape. Then the game would be over too soon and everyone would pissed off. Don't be a dick. We doing this for fun. the longer it lasts the more fun we will have. Quite Happy for SI to play with this one for awhile yet before it crosses the ditch.

[BMWST?]

and who says it ends when we get to the cape....someone might pick it up and bring it back...

[BMWST?]

Jest one...what sort of distances are appropriate....say I picked the tag up in Picton and dropped it off in Bulls....just to piss of the Welly riders.....

Anyway the picton ferry is teh tag.When the tag finally arrives in picton someone tags the(say) Aretere.The tag is picked up in wellington when someone tags the Aratere in Welly

[Retroqueen]

Dunners girls and boys watching this thread!!! or do i need to take a day off and go get the thing :clap::clap::clap:

[JATZ]

I really did think of dropping it at the ferry on the way back, but that sorta defeats the pupose


and who says it ends when we get to the cape....someone might pick it up and bring it back...

Still got the West coast to do, this thing could be bouncing around for a while yet.
Hmmmmm...... wouldn't mind a cruze down to Haast :scooter: :woohoo:Stop at Harihari for some yummy bacon :drool:

[Retroqueen]

Bump....... Nudge ..... wake up in Otago!!! get on that :scooter::scooter:

Give them 'till the end of the weekend to move it, work and all that.
There was one rider who requested it be dropped there on the promise of him shifting it 100km north soon.

15.5/3 is perfect :yes:

Ha, that's what I thought but he's right 16/3 is best.
Start with one finger pointing at 1 and another at 31 and move them equally together and both fingers land on 16 at the same time.

SHW6, Lake Dunstan, a little north of Cromwell around Lowburn Valley Rd area

Don't be sheepish, grab it by the horns and ram this thing home, no pullin the wool over our eyes either, current pics only.

Remembering i came from Alex

Good boy!! ... no lipstick today tho :love:

Now we have some action, I know exactly where that one is too but someone in Canterbury or Mackenzie can grab it ... unless it is still there on Thursday :devil2:!

[Transalper]

Ahhhhhhgh... you stole all the fun bits.
Only 151km from my place (less than a tank of gas round trip) but 3/4 of it is long straights.
Must be a crusers turn. :mellow:

Ha ha, what u going to do, drag it backwards toward the lakes?
Probably best to just leave it this time, There should be another chance when it returns.
We have a city full of KBers here surely someone will grab it by the end of the week(end)

[Clairsky]

Cant believe I've only just stumbled over this game! Like McJim I would've been to Bluff quick as if I'd known earlier. Next time tho. I'll watch for it coming back down anyway.

I am safely home with the tag where I left it. Was not really going to move it any direction other than where it should go ... NORTH..ish

My thanks to Petra for allowing me onto her computer to post the tag ..... very much appreciated, and relieved... the tag hadn't gone... was a long day (or two)

[rosie631]

I'm back online and in the game. Am looking for an excuse for a good long ride this weekend and this is the perfect one.

[rosie631]

I'm keen to go for it but i actually don't have a clue where it is.

[Transalper]

Well I have a friend who lives on Winchester Hanging Rock Rd. which is inland some from Winchester, but Hanging Rock is accessible via several directions.
FJ Rider came from Alexander (judging by his profile and maybe something he said earlier) and went to Christchurch dropping the tag along the way.
If I was doing that trip by sealed road I'd probably pass a Hall Rd somewhere between Fairlie and Geraldine according to the map.

[JATZ]

I'm keen to go for it but i actually don't have a clue where it is.

Hell, that was easy. Nothing to this computor stuff. Tag tells it all as far as location goes. S.H.79. Heres the new tag. No clues needed.....but for those who don't pay any attention to their surroundings while riding let me know and a will drop a hint.

On a mission by any chance this weekend are you? Serious?

J is trying to avoid the people power cycling plan for the weekend by pushing for a motorcycling trip to the coast, maybe via Reefton.
I don't know, we were originally going to Kaikoura via inland/Lyford on Sunday anyway but she reckons the tag should detour North West.

Maybe I should go have another look at the weather forecasts. I actually really wanted to push pedals Saturday.

[Retroqueen]

I so wanted a chance at this thing and what happened!!! it got here on the one weekend I've gotta work!!! Never mind maybe I'll take a day off next week and have a practise ride beofre my mammoth ride round the long way to get to the pneguin.!!! Happy tagging

Well it would be crazy if those sunday riders don't take it north tomorrow!!!! but I can tell ya if they don't I'm having the day off on monday, cause this working all weekend is not good for a biking Gal!!!!! i'll go mad if I don't ride soon :blink::blink::blink:

[JATZ]

J is trying to avoid the people power cycling plan for the weekend by pushing for a motorcycling trip to the coast, maybe via Reefton

:wari: Reefton....... mmmmmmmmmm whitebait sammies at the future dough co. for lunch

Busy this w/end and some of next but anywhere within 500k's of home is now fair game

[Transalper]

Went for a ride with J today.
1 & 2 Collected last Tag from the North bank (and west side) next to the Ashley River Bridge on SHW1. S43 16.602 E172 41.352 to be precise, although the Google satellite images aren't aligned exactly where they should be so it appears on the wrong side of the bridge if you search those coordinates.

3 & 4 Had to stop and admire the view occasionally.

5 - New tag nice and easy, no guesswork required, I gave you the signs.

Perhaps those wishing to make the tag next, needs to bring a piece of bread and glue it to his head .... Just to get the pic right :laugh:

Funny story....... got to the statue this morning and there was a seagull on his head, I thought "cool" but then the bastard pissed off and wouldn't come back untill after we'd gone. So we went back on the way home armed with pizza crusts from The Slip Inn, in Havelock, and what d'ya know the gull on afternoon shift was much more co-operative,and didn't need a bribe, least the kids tea is sorted :D

Mrs jatz sugested I do that in Picton but by that stage we had the pic and I was getting my head ready for the twisties of Queen Charlotte dr. i.e. sitting in the sun, having a dury and enjoying the view.

I HAD to get close though cos it was dark.....I dont think it would have been better in the morning(at about7) or not with the clocks goin forward

[Transalper]

I'm glad to see it finally in the NI.
We watch with interest to see how it travels up there, warmer spring weather and all.

[BMWST?]

OK NI landers now its our turn....How do we do it..Do we make it a straight out dash to the north or do we go up the west and down the east?It may come back of course.Do we play like our tag games where its each man for himself or do we organise it a bit more...

[Laxi]

needs to travel a reasonable distance I think, was considering grabbing it tonight but didnt have time to do it justice, best bet would probably drop it near to the manawatu boys, most likely to run with it

thats the question i guess,do we just run it north or give it a tour of welly ,rapa and coast?

[Laxi]

I wouldn't over analise it, these tag games seem to have a way of taking on a life of their own:niceone: somthing tells me there wont be much time for discusion anyway, I would expect a cue of tag addicts lined up at he station 1st thing tomorrow :chase:
