Sweet bikes in Wellsford!

[Hahn]

Who were the four fellas on the RSV4's, RSVR and KTM in Wellsford around lunchtime? Just got to say... Very nice...... you made us all start drooling haha:drool:

[labrat]

Hey there,
I was trying out the KTM. Its a bargain now if you lust after one. New Models 28.5k with the Akrapovic pipes free & a couple of Demo's for 27k also with the free pipes. I have bought the AMP's demo now. Yeehaa! Tell you what, the RSV4's just piss off well quick when wound out but are tiny for us 6+ footers! Lovely day & a lack of plod made Hw16 awesome. :headbang:

[Bytor]

Yeah, they came past us heading to Wellsford, KTM looked nice! You must have been in the other group (Gixxers/ZX10's?) that came past - fook me the first guy screamed past us.

[Aaron_newrider]

I was the only one on a Hyosung! Haha!

There was a guy with a Yamaha v-max with 1000k's on the clock, the thing was a tank! a fast tank at that though.

Haha yeah, two 750's, two 600's and an sv1000. We pushed it bloody hard to Wellsford, love that ride, and no cops ;) That fulla in the lead... doesn't believe in chicken strips:crazy:

Maybe when I grow out of the 600:woohoo:
would have to do some saving too... but dreams are free!

[labrat]

I was the bloke who had 3 bikes stolen in mid July. Insurance only just paid out last week! Otherwise, all those bikes too pricey for me. Was just a pleasure to see all the bikes out on the "Blacktop". The 09 R1 with the tiny pipes sounded amazing. 4cylinder multi's never do it for me but this thing rocked:2thumbsup
Hope we all have a safe ticket free summer!

[Big Dave]

You still got it?

[labrat]

Nein. Pick it up Tues .
:no:

Saw them parked up as we went through, saw them again at Waipu. Alot of bikes out yesterday.

[labrat]

black with orange frame?
No again. Thats the "R" $39k RRP. Just the bog Std RC8. I'm not on journalist wages! I know you will be scratching your head Dave considering my recent fleet & previous machines but the theft made my lady & I finally figure what we need. (Too many compromise machines.) This things for me alone. You know, "my mid life crisis" thing.

[Big Dave]

>>You know, "my mid life crisis" thing. <<

Fairings are ghey. Crisis that :-P

Can't see em from the pilots seat! Wanna come round & help me sew the sleeve on your new cardigan?

[Big Dave]

Have the sleeves got leather patches?

I was just starting my ride up north at about 1:30, had just turned onto Coatesville-Riverhead Hwy from SH17 and on a short straight saw an RSV coming straight at me in my lane trying to overtake 5 or so cars. There was also another bike in front of the RSV that I didn't recognise (didn't have time to register, saw bikes coming at me and moved the hell left! Haha)... both of them were fully in my lane... :oi-grr:

It was a great day for riding yesterday though! :ride:

[Scouse]

black with orange frame?No Pav has that one for the track day today

yea but did they wave? :laugh:

[musicman]

yea but did they wave? :laugh:

Haha, well the first guy didn't, or at least I didn't see him wave (he was probably too busy trying to get back into his lane!) but the guy on the RSV did. I love the look of the RSV4 and the RSV1000R. :love:

[scott2ride]

I was one of the guys on the RSV4.

I was riding on my own on the way up to Welsford, then Mungawhai Heads. Stopped at the lookout on HW16 and had a chat to a couple of blokes there.

Caught up with the other RSV4 and RSV, GSXR & KTM RC8 in Welsford and had lunch there. We had a "Rather Brisk" ride back along HW16.

The RSV4 certainly has no problem keeping with a GSXR1000. And the RSV4 was stock and not run in, while the GSXR was 20,000km so well bedded in, had a pipe, Velocity stacks and retard eliminator, and the rider was 24kg lighter than I am. (Cos Im a little more portly that desired) :confused:

The RSV4 is an unbelievable bike to ride. It truly is. And I have done many many km on the latest GSXR1000s, CBR1000RRs etc. The RSV4 is better! No question.:Punk:

[nosebleed]

Just got internet back (Woosh hates rain/storms).
Hahn:Were you in the group of guys that arrived as me (on the RSV) and the RC8 were waiting on the opposite side of the road?

Was a great day for riding and had some fantastic company (for a bit anyway LOL).

I can hear the pitter-patter of Katana Man now

Yeah that was me, glad we didn't lead you astray saying there were no cops:Police:

Hope the weather picks up again so we can have some more days like that!:sunny:

Haha you guys must have had everybody you passed staring lol

[Swoop]

Lovely day & a lack of plod made Hw16 awesome. :headbang:
Pleasantly bacon-free, indeed!:yes:

With the lack of crashes or accidents on that road, the police presence is completely un-neccessary!

Yes that would be bloody good.

But truth be told, if I lived on HW16 and had bikers passing my home at over 250kph with loud pipes and hitting the redline then Im sure I would be getting a bit annoyed. Hence they probably feel the need to request the police to spend some quality time there :D

Not hat I would ever do that cos Im an angel :innocent:
