[McWild]

Giz a yell if ya need a hand. :bye:

Cheers me and Harvd are just going to open it up sometime after the big Whakatane mission and have a look.

Not sure if I'll have the money to fix it this time so there could be a very cheap RG coming up on trademe sometime soon :bye:

[gloplg]

Ok I won't only not be there beacause of exams.

I also won't be there because I managed to blow up my RG as well haha. Yay for blowing up bikes.

Sorry to hear about that McW. You are not having a lot of luck with your bikes. Hope your exam results are good.

[gloplg]

Good ride tonight. Only 20 or so bikes. Anyone for Duvauchelles next week?????

[TuonoTom]

Cheers for another great ride guys. See you all next year!

[gammaguy]

Going to open it up in a couple of weeks but it looks like the powervalve has decided to get friendly with the piston.

Interestingly enough that seems to be the case with the RGV right now too.

that would not be at all unusual.

the words "achilles"and "Heel" spring to mind

good luck with it dude:blink:

[McWild]

I've said it before and I'm happy to repeat myself...

I hope they fired the guy who designed Suzuki powervalves. He must have been drunk.

[maxf]

Too much saki... such a sad fate.

Let me know if you do want to sell ... looking at options for a playtime e-bike conversion, and a rolling chain-drive chassis might be ideal....

PS - good ride last night, you shulda been there :woohoo:

[maxf]

Good ride tonight. Only 20 or so bikes. Anyone for Duvauchelles next week?????

Yep - never been over there on 2 wheels... (nor one or three, but they don't usually count).

[stevewederell]

Great wee ride people, sorry to anyone stuck behind me as I was scrubbing in the new rubber.

:niceone:To Ian and Wayne for a great bit of rubber. Top job and super price. I'll be back soon for a service.

[helenoftroy]

Where to this week??:confused:

No Dave to sort things......I dont mind in the slightest where we cruise too....:chase:

[phoenixgtr]

Well I've heard murmurings about Duvauchelle. What do we think?

[h211]

Sounds like a plan...

[R1madness]

sounds good to me....

[gloplg]

Where to this week??:confused:

Some womble said something about Duvauchelles:doh::doh:. Better fuel up the Duke.

[tupelo]

Yep! I'm up for it!

[Dave-]

[phoenixgtr]

Ok, so if anyone can't remember this (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1129470974&postcount=464) is what we did last time

[KiwiPhoenix]

I won't be doing the ride tonight (saving my petrol for the weekend) but I will be there with my trusty camera! So if you want a picture of you on your bike, just come and ask!

[fireliv]

Wont be there tonight, to tired/grumpy. Have fun!

[Ghost_Bullet]

Would have loved to have made it tonight, sadly crashed me bike on the lawn, and skined me shin.





Thankfully it was just the pushy, while doing a stupid Dad stunt in front of the kids, made the Mrs laugh though...she pissed herself:laugh:

Next week.

[Flip]

Just got in from Wellington. You all missed the biggest dam biker get together New Zealand will see for a long time.
Didn't have the energy to come along tonight.
CU next week.

It was absofuckinglutely awesome!!!!

Anyhoo just having a nosey to see what my old mates are up to.....

[phoenixgtr]

I was actually thinking we could just go to Diamond Harbour...back to ride number 1. We haven't actually stopped in there since the first week and it's got new owners now so I reckon we should check them out

[KiwiPhoenix]

will be back later with some photos from last night.

Flip, glad you got back safely!

Sorry Ive missed you over the last two weeks or so will be there next week. :Oops:

[maxf]

Sounds good!!:2thumbsup

Will probably miss it next couple of weeks - got the Burt Monroe (leaving Thurs) so I guess I'll get the kms quota from that!... PS - found out the problem with the cornering, I don't counter-steer going right but do going left! Always said I was biased.

It ok a group of 3 cyclist cycled past us while we were parked up in sumner, lead guy decides to let of a smart comment directed at us bikers and the women behind him (wife I think) clipped his wheel because he broke pace (big no no in bunch riding) and went down. She was fine when we left.

He'll be getting a good slap on the head tonight I imagine!

Yes great ride. Dyers just above Hackthorne was most interesting. Three of us had scary moments on the way back!!!!

Did you hear the one about the cyclist who slowed to abuse the motorcyclists and had a fellow cyclist run into him. Thank heaven for the HOT lady who was present to render assistance:2thumbsup:2thumbsup Good one to all who helped.

Oh and sorry Petra (Quack Quack):whistle:

Did anyone notice the new WNRer on the Kawasaki with the big yellow L label. She is pedalling a bit faster these days. Hmmmmmmmmm if this keeps up I will have to up my game or hang up my boots!

[Retroqueen]

That was a great ride folks. Thanks for the heads up re dyers. We chose the tunnel :msn-wink::msn-wink:

I'll let ya away with it this time Mr gloplug :spanking::spanking: Ok ducky!!

I'm gonna need knew boots soon unless I learn to hold my toes up!!

[Mikkel]

Yep, feeling a bit sore at the moment. Half a bottle of Sauv Blanc and some Panadeine helps though. :(

Had they put some signs up yet? I called them once I got to Pitlane this afternoon - they said they'd sort something out. Hopefully the tar would have solidified by the time you went past and at least some of the gravel been driven off.

As long as you stayed upright it's all good. When I passed at 15:15 the shade of the trees made it impossible to see that anything was amiss. I was going quite slow through there - there were no indicators to put me on guard besides the earlier roadworks - and the next second it was doing a face plant into the gravel and liquid tar. The riding gear is a mess, the helmet is buggered, bent handlebar bolts, pranged lever guard... my right thumb is taking on colour and is quite stiff, my left shoulder is rather sore and I'll get a GP appointment first thing tomorrow. The specifics of my ACC claim will NOT include the words motorcycle, motorbike or anything like it.

Good to hear you had a nice ride guys! :niceone:

nah, the patch they'd repaired was sketchy, I went around it and was still on grit, the whole road was covered in it, you don't have an option.

there was road cones on the side of the road, but they're on the inside of the corner and you cant see them until you're on top of the grit anyway.

another shit NZ roading job, who do they have in the north island? those roads were beaut.

[Mikkel]

Ouch!!!!!! Thanks for the heads up via Dave. Sorry to hear you and your bike. I hope everything goes well and we will see you soon on WNR!

Don't mind the bike, she's a motard - they love getting dirty. You might see me on a WNR if I get well enough to ride, but not yet well enough to go to aikido. However, I really do hope the soreness will be better in a week.

That's just unacceptable. I bloody well called them and informed them that that particular corner needed a decent sign. I sure as hell hope no one else is going to come to grief there! At least the tar should be firm by now...

[Shadows]

What was the comment about?

Did everybody laugh and point?

[leopardskin]

thanks to all - thoroughly enjoyed ride - apart from watching womans head bouncing on the road.

[phoenixgtr]

What was the comment about?

Did everybody laugh and point?

He yelled out "get a real bike"

We would have laughed and pointed if he took the tumble, but unfortunately it was the innocent woman behind him who suffered

Hitting the road is not funny guys. Even if the victim were to be the architect of their own demise.

[KiwiPhoenix]

Yes great ride. Dyers just above Hackthorne was most interesting. Three of us had scary moments on the way back!!!!

Thankfully I came back through Gebbies, sounds like I did the right thing!


Did you hear the one about the cyclist who slowed to abuse the motorcyclists and had a fellow cyclist run into him. Thank heaven for the HOT lady who was present to render assistance:2thumbsup:2thumbsup Good one to all who helped.

Silly bugger that he was. It's a shame that it was the lady at the back that was hurt and not the twat that hurled the comment!


Oh and sorry Petra (Quack Quack):whistle:

ROFL


Did anyone notice the new WNRer on the Kawasaki with the big yellow L label. She is pedalling a bit faster these days. Hmmmmmmmmm if this keeps up I will have to up my game or hang up my boots!

Hey not that new!! :cool: But yeah, definitely getting faster! Better watch your mirrors, young man!!

Great ride last night! I've enjoyed all the rides but last night I relaxed and enjoyed this one even more!

[Transalper]

....That's just unacceptable. I bloody well called them and informed them that that particular corner needed a decent sign. I sure as hell hope no one else is going to come to grief there! At least the tar should be firm by now...I could certainly see how someone might come a cropper on the last patch of loose stuff coming back into town on Dyers Pass.

[Shadows]

He yelled out "get a real bike"

No Harleys there last night, then? :p


Hitting the road is not funny guys. Even if the victim were to be the architect of their own demise.

From what I was reading it sounded like it was abuse of some other sort, but "get a real bike" is more funny than anything else. If it was some other abuse and then that happened I would definately have been laughing and pointing - even if it was his Mrs and not him. Birds of a feather and all.

Now it has been explained, yes I do feel a bit sorry for her.

Any way how are you feeling today? Have you managed to rip anybody's nuts off regarding those unmarked roadworks? That shit is far too rife around these parts and they can't be allowed to get away with it.

[Mr Triple]

Great ride last night peoples. good to catch up with you all on such a warm night. I went home over Gebbies Pass as well with no probs just a little windy from about Hornby :)

[helenoftroy]

thanks to all - thoroughly enjoyed ride - apart from watching womans head bouncing on the road.
Great night for a ride it was

There were a few new faces.....dare I say it! a number of more mature riders were noted,aint life good when you can ride bikes guys??:woohoo:

Hey!pleased leopardskin & your friend had a good evening

That was a first having a cyclist come to grief & knock themselves out in front of us!!(Id be giving the smartarse guy more than an earfull if I was her!!):bash:

[cruza]

We did a loop taitapu- gebbies-lytt-summner and had had meal at indian place at ferrymead , saw you guys go past. We did a side run up to sign of kiwi on way home. Was shit sign posting on dyers. small patching repairs with excess road chip shovelled on . There was a kawaski on that bottom corner when we went up with gravel rash . I had my beast lock up on compression and had to give it a fist full and motard foot down to recover as I exited that corner, guy behind me had a arse tighter as well, we all riding slowly up and down and still had loose moments. Few worrying moments as rgirl was still afew corners back :pinch:. but came round real slow and stayed up right:2thumbsup . Home save and sound to pick up the kids soon after 8

Rgirl booked her practical test for dec 3rd. :woohoo:

[glanvillejon]

He yelled out "get a real bike"

We would have laughed and pointed if he took the tumble, but unfortunately it was the innocent woman behind him who suffered
Wat a tosser, did anyone get his number plate???? oh thats right! THEY DON'T PAY ACC LEVIES TO BE ON THE ROAD!!!! What an Arse as Paul Henry would say!

Good to hear you had a nice ride guys! :niceone:

Hey bud sorry to hear you had a bit of a moment and that you are ok. We took an early ride with Richard (R1) and another fellow rider whom you have already seen, lots of gravel shit on the ground about the bays but no drammas for us.

Heads up after little river new tar seal as you head up the hill there are major work roads before you get to Hill top certainly the heat is lifting up some slippery bits so just keep an eye on those and prepare to use your riding skills :Oops:

hey cruza didnt see you out there we took off around 4.30 gladly with no drammas made it all the way to Devous and back a bit windy, outstanding day for it :woohoo:

[gloplg]

He yelled out "get a real bike"

We would have laughed and pointed if he took the tumble, but unfortunately it was the innocent woman behind him who suffered

So how are you going to better this weeks drama, next week???????

Where are we off to and how are we getting there????

[Zenith]

Hey everyone! Just randomly breaking into the thread... I've just moved down from Hamilton, and I'm in a horribly bike-less state at the moment :crybaby:

So I figured the next best thing to riding would be catching up with people like who were lucky enough to have bikes at the moment! Is there a social catch up somewhere local? Or is there some lovely person out there who doesn't mind taking a random on the back of their bike on ur rides? Just finding out how things work down here, it would be great to meet new people. And to be on 2 wheels again!! :)

Hey Zenith, Welcome to the south!! We meet at burger King on Moorhouse Ave, come along round sixish next wed and meet people. I'm sure if you bring your gear some nice person might have a seat for ya!

I would offer but having only pillioned Phoenix (who refuses to do it again) I am not a good bet!

Blonde moment... Just realised that all my gear is up at home, so I'll just come along to say hi and wave you off into the sunset

Lol I'll take your word for it! Thanks for the almost offer tho :) I'll wait till I bring my gear down in Jan and sort something out then

No probs either, I have several spare lids, jackets and stuff. There is usually space on the back of the ship heat.

Yup Flip would be an awesome person to pillion with if you want. Be good to meet you either way!

[Zenith]

Awesome! That would be great thanks. In that case I'll probably pop in and say hi next week, and sort something out for the week after.

Looking forward to meeting you all :)

Flip is a great rider. I have been on the back of his bike, you'll love it!

[Flip]

So whats it to be this week?

Wets route or Duvaucells are my pick. How are the bugs around little river.

P

[Dave-]

we did duavechelles recently i think.

I'm pretty sure it's gebbies, bays, evans, hop.

[Transalper]

You're obsessed with the Hop.
Long range forecast not looking good.

[Dave-]

You're obsessed with the Hop.
Long range forecast not looking good.

yes.

but im leader and you guys just follow me right there, i mean, you dont _have_ to come :P

[E Ashmore]

the bugs arent bad. we had none today going through little river. but there are some small patches of grit on the hill.

[KiwiPhoenix]

yes.

but im leader and you guys just follow me right there, i mean, you dont _have_ to come :P

:jerry:..............

oh and on a more serious note I've decided I like leading simply cause the middle of the pack makes me feel claustrophobic, at the front I can ride my own tune without getting in much of anyone's way if I do get caught up then I'll wave them by (yes people sometimes overtake the leader!!!)

but more importantly anyone got any suggestions for other pubs to go to in the inner cityish area?

[phoenixgtr]

I may sit it out this week depending on how I'm feeling on Wednesday. It'd be the first WNR I'd miss this season. I'm sure you'll all survive without me

Everyone that can, should turn up this time, as time is running out to stop this levy increase shit.

Sorry - definitely had enough cold (:cold: x southerly gales & rain on Friday from Dunedin to Bluff, then :cold: x rain, fog, mist then coastal gales from Twizel to home on Monday) from the Burt Monroe trip... definitely drowned rat syndrome, tho the cruise control has definitely paid for itself!

Definitely try for next week, depending on what the family have planned!

Not necessarily so. There is a bit of a revival in two stroke tech with the big manufacturers. Also like the Renesis rotary, two stroke tech has the best chance of dealing with Hydrogen.

Two strokes will always be lighter, cheaper to manufacture, and more powerful....

On my bikes I make sure the choake is off and then hold the throttle wide open while pressing the start button for a few seconds, then try again as normal.
If the starter will work with the kill switch turned to off then I'd have it in the off position for the clearing procedure (throttle wide open bit).
It may take off with a roar if the kill switch is in the run position and it clears quickly.

That's how I clear my bikes anyway.

Oh yeah, sometimes just walking away and trying again in 5 to 10 minutes is enough too.

Another thing... some bikes start best if you don't touch the throttle at all while pressing the starter button. can be a bit hard to do if you're holding the grip while reaching for the button with the thumb and you naturally twist... especially with small hands.

I'm Darrell :) the other fella on Hyosung (who knows how to spell that?) is my wee brother Karl - and filming was not a roaring success - as soon as speed got up it went blank apparently

So it's back to the drawing board then??

i'm sure Karlos will give it another go - he don't give up easily - only some low speed around town "action" came out.

That tdr is a nice bike, well looked after, few comments from others about it to .

not to many lake flies on way home, slightly later this run, may have been the key.

hmmm, half points.

if you pointed out that the rgv did infact blow up (which is why he was on the cbr) then you'll get full points _b

[KiwiPhoenix]

I still think I deserve the full points since noone else managed to quote that post!! :lol: and the fact that I am such a geek to have even re-read the thread!!

[McWild]

This has naught to do with the ride.

But do any of you know if Lee's Valley Road, through Oxford and Ashley Gorge out to Glenburn and back round is sealed and in good nick?

[jimichelle]

and apart from the water crossing i wouldnt go in a car but in saying that my brotherin law did more suitable to dirt bikes and 4x4

[jimichelle]

around to white rock and then back to ashly

[Transalper]

The shingle starts at the intersection of Ashley Gorge Rd and Lees Valley Rd. and dont stop untill you get to Whiterock, out North Loburn way.
Pretty sure you will get to Glenburn from the Oxford end without getting wet feet, the river fording starts after that. It's a great ride on an Adv bike.

[McWild]

Ah ok yeah was thinking it could have been a nice bit of gorge fun from Google maps but possibly less so on something like the RGV.

Cheers.

[Gareth123]

I drove that road once when I was 16. It was about midnight when I got to the river crossing. I put my lights on high, got out and had a look. Didn't look too deep so in I went. Almost got stuck 2/3rds of the way across. Loose shingle.

I could just imagine that phone call to my parents!

Provided it hasn't rained for a couple weeks you'd probably get round alright. That was almost 9 years ago so I wouldn't want to guarrentee it though.

[Kickaha]

It's a great ride on an Adv bike.

It's also quite doable on a road bike so long as the river isn't to high

[Flip]

Well can I take my landrover? Dont think the harley would do that crossing.

Why not? they're as close to a tractor as a motorcycle gets:msn-wink:

Last time I did it (which was several years ago) I did it on my Darmah

[Transalper]

I've been through with it cresting the top of the 21" wheel but current gets to become an issue for me by then.

Also had an old Yahama XV750 in the group once (pic included is a different ford in the valley). It's just more comfortable on the cushy suspension of an Adv bike.

Anyone got another idea????

Well the evenings are getting longer so why not the rides as well. How about Chch, Rangiora, Lowburn, Oxford and return? There is a Nice cafe at Oxford would probably stay open for coffee and snacks if we called and organize it....

But the greta valley idea has merit as well. Via the Waikari route?

Hey look sorry guys, just been asked to pop into this thread and let all those that know Ewan (McMotomanie) and/or his wife Maddmaxs whom have done the last 2 WNR's that they are welcome to attend Ewans funeral this Friday at John Rhinds 19 London st at 3pm.
From there Ewan will be taken to the crematorian in Linwood, bikes are most welcome, and then to a pub for a drink.

PS: Ewan rode the Moto Guzzi Breva and Seona a nakid SV1000.

[leopardskin]

very much saddened to hear of Ewan's passing. enjoyed riding and meeting with him and his wife over the last few weeks, especially on the cold WNR a couple of weeks ago when only a handful of hardy souls turned up....showing his Scottish indifference to the weather!

[fireliv]

Lots of straights, few corners through ashley gorge

[neels]

Weather looks average for cycling tomorrow night, so I might join you for a ride instead.

Which way will you be heading out of town? I'll be a bit tight for time so it might be easier to pick you up on the way if you're heading north.

[Ghost_Bullet]

I would love to go on this local ride, but damn it, tomorrow night is the beginning of the silly gobbler season at work, and I am committed to assisting at some silly hours as well. Maybe next week??? :argh:

[helenoftroy]

what ya need.... if they small they may fit Matt's and I can't risk taking him for a couple of weeks

Thanks Retro!Liv has offered some gear too...

Will be in touch if we need it.....

[phoenixgtr]

It's time for north but I'd rather not do Oxford. Last time we went that way I almost fell asleep. Greta via Scargil is better.

I will try to make it on Friday.

[Dave-]

...and hopefully Casualty,& we may have two gorgeous young ladies with us(if i can find enough gear for them both)

wait, what?

[Retroqueen]

wait, what?
na na na na nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you have to work :whistle::whistle::whistle:

[Dave-]

I can boost it at 7! you'll only have a half hour head start!

[Jenny]

[Tacoman]

[Flip]

If I can get out of work in time I will be there, I really need a ride.

I have been dealing with a couple of the fuel companies (its stress full) and I don't like dealing with them. I used to work for one about 10 years ago.

[KiwiPhoenix]

Hi guys, I spoke with Seona today, she is doing as well as can be expected, but she has asked that if you are coming to the house that you park opposite the house so that as the hearse goes by, we can all follow on behind.

I for one will be there and will be honoured to ride with Ewan on his final journey.

Thats a familiar feeling! Happened to Phoenix the first day he had his bike in Chch!!

Not sure if I can be bothered tonight, though the SV is running bloodly well after the weekends drenching!! (cheers LW!!)

[Roger]

What a wonderfull ride tonight, it was so much fun following you guys up SH1.
I just love straights, and not just roads either.
All those young bodies clinging to their seats
Oh the view as TEC on my Panther was so erotic

[JMemonic]

Good ride again although I nearly went to sleep on the way home Pheonix. 35 or so bikes at BK tonight.

Next week is Christmas! How many WNRers are going to be here over the next few weeks??? Are we going to have WNRs after Christmas and New Year weekends??? I will be a starter if anyone else is interested.

Now the important stuff. Where to next week????
