AKL KB monthly meet/April

[Drunken Monkey]

Well I missed March, if it ever happened, as I was watching open wheeler Ferraris, BMW's, Mercs, Renaults, et al, race around Albert Park.

Are we up for another this Thursday evening (7th)? With no more daylight savings, that rules out another twilight ride. Not sure who's up for a night ride? Or we could go back to what 6Chris6 and I were tyring to sort out previously - something socialble (can't really converse with each other too well with helmets on over the roar of a poorly silenced engine) and something that can be enjoyed without drinking (for the many of us who enforce a strict zero drink and ride policy).
Alternatively we could not bother at all, and prove once again, to those smug pricks (you know who you are) down in Wellington, that Aucklanders couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.
What say ye?

[Drunken Monkey]

I just remembered LooseBruce runs Hell Pizza in Ellerslie. There's a bit of a burnout/skid pan out the back of the store, 'apparently'. We could meet there?

[SuperDave]

Dunno if anyone else remembers that once ride towards the end of last year where we went from Mission Bay through town and then to and around the Domain. That was a great ride, would be keen on something similar to that again. Alternatively dinner at Hell's and a bit of tyre spinning out back sounds good. :banana:

[bugjuice]

we're not allowed near the Domain, are we Frosty?

[HDTboy]

I'd be keen for a pool night, get to know a few of the others

[Two Smoker]

[aff-man]

[HDTboy]

So are the Jaffas going to do anything tomorrow night? Or do we suck compared to wellington?

[justsomeguy]

We suck.........


I got repairs to do so can't show up

[Drunken Monkey]

I'll talk to LooseBruce today. Watch this space.

[Motoracer]

Yea bro, do it at Hell. We've done it with push bikes there but I don't know what sort of stuff we can really do in that place with Motorbikes. Should be interesting.

[Drunken Monkey]

Alrighty then, meet at the carpark behind Hell in Ellerslie for a feed and maybe figure out what we can do next time. Around 8:30pm?

[T.I.E]

whats the address on that one? hell in ellerslie? just down the road from heaven?

[T.I.E]

we're not allowed near the Domain, are we Frosty?

and why not the domain? :whistle:

[Fart]

I would like to come for a ride, but this thurs night I have plans. Have a good one guys. :ride:

[Drunken Monkey]

Errrm, no Bruce, no M.R...no discount pizza!!

I didn't stick around long, sorry if you came looking for us and found no one!

[Motoracer]

Errrr... Sorry dudes. I took a last look at this thread and since no one had shown interest, I assumed it wasn't on.

Yep, the Welly crew are definetly cooler than us! :brick:

[Wonko]

Hmmm, well what about doing something this Thursday the 14th?

[HDTboy]

I'd be keen, don't want the wellington peeps thinking us jafas are lame.

would anyone be keen for 10 pin bowling? it's just a suggestion

[HDTboy]

bump ;)

Saturdays/Sundays (or whatever) are for organised rides. The monthly meet isn't supposed to be an organised ride, it's supposed to be a social occasion.

Hence ideas like pool, bowling etc...

[pyrocam]

ahh I see!

BBQ and beers at mine friday from 2 then? :lol:

[ManDownUnder]

Anyone up for skeet shooting? Awesome fun to see that little orange thing turn into talcum powder as 12 Guage hits it a 1,000 feet per second. There is something immenseley satisfying about it...

Before the weather turns... Wednesdays and Saturdays are practice days, I'm a newbie and keen for a go... done it one time before and it is brilliant! (About $25 bucks all up from memory...). Gun not needed - they have them there, I'll need to check on requirement for licence...

It's up Old North Road (near Kumeu), which is AWESOME fun on the bike. I'd sugest meeting up at the Old Albany Pub, head across to the gun club, have a shoot, a pint or two then carry on our separate ways!

Either that or put down a hangi or something...

Whatever is actually chosen (be it my or other ideas) I'll HELP organise it but I won't do everything...

PM me if needed
MDU

[pyrocam]

I could be interested.
althou do they let you take beer onto the shooting range? :whistle:

phwaa must be kinda hard to hit no?

[Drunken Monkey]

Definately be up for some skeet shooting. Usually they provide the o&u shotties, I got a pump action that hardly ever gets used - wouldn't mind making sure that action still works :)

Just found out earlier today it will get even less use, no shooting agreement has been signed on the lease between the property owner and the grazier. Damn graziers... bah!

[HDTboy]

i nominate meeting at Takapuna 10 pin around 2030 this evening, the 14th

[ManDownUnder]

They have a bar at the range... and they play it safe (of course).... re drunkenness...

As for hard to hit - yes, but only to start with. They make it easier by throwing the clays straight out in front to start with so you only have the "up/down" bit to work out... then they'll start helping with the side side stuff once you can do it better.

I shot at 25 targets last time, and got the last 10 in a row (no natural, they just made it easier as outlined above).

BLOODY GOOD FUN and bring your earmuffs.

I'll ring and see if they could handle 5 or 10 bods showing up on a Saturday...

They provide a semi auto and you chamber one round at a time (to start with anyway)...

No good having your shooting restricted on you like that... need to find some more (I've got 7 extra ducks at my place... but point blank range might not be too humane... or maybe it would... just EXTRA messy!

[Drunken Monkey]

NEXT THURSDAY NEXT THURSDAY NEXT THURSDAY.


I'm in.... and a night time ride sounds cool. Are you gonna be free SpeedMedic??

Others??????

A night ride sounds great. But the thing is if the roads are too twisty then visibility will be a nuisance. But as I said so many times now...... a night ride = :2thumbsup
Sometime around 6:30 as a meeting time would be primo:niceone:

PS - Speedmedic, please register this as positive interest.

Failing the other ideas, I gues we could totally geek out and have maybe a 'Cool Suzuki Riders' versus the 'Other Bike Brand Llamas' at Laser Strike in Wairau Park.

[HDTboy]

I'm going to register my inkling of interest

[justsomeguy]

Consider it registered.. some investigating going on with regards to deals at the bowlarama and hellarama pizzarama.

If those are the options then I vote for stuffing my mouth with pizza instead of lifting and throwing heavy weights around
