The Real Thursday Night Ride

[Deano]

These will be commencing the first Thursday after daylight savings starts 2009. (1st October)

Meet at the duckpond carpark at Avalon Park, Fairway Drive Lower Hutt from 6.00pm onwards for a 6.30pm departure.

Make sure you have fuelled up before arriving.

The route will be determined on the night. The Parrot and Jigger on Hutt Road is usually the destination for some refreshments and possibly a free snack. Monteiths Bar in Mana have also been very accommodating and is sometimes visited along the way.

Please take a few minutes to read and familiarise yourself with the Group Ride Guide

NB - These rides are generally for more experienced riders.

Yer Yer Bring on summer:headbang:

[Deano]

Hey hey not many replies.

Has my reference to the Group Ride Guide put people off, or has the double yellow lines on 'the hill' done that ?

[chanceyy]

hmm prob still trying to get used to this daylight savings lark Deano ... I know I am :laugh: and then waiting to see wot this lovely spring weather will be doing thurs

[quallman1234]

Hopefully catch you at the parrot! No bike too ride.

What yellow lines? I'm colour blind only see grey.

[Weaver]

As someone who's had his share of experiences on the TRTNR, I'd like to add to Deano's first post that this ride is about going at your own pace. It is not run by a club or anyone for that matter. We don't tell people how they should ride their bikes. The individual rider takes all the risks and the consequences.

[ajturbo]

i would like to be there...but i cannot afford everyones ear plugs.... :whistle:

[driftn]

Ah the thursday nite ride. Man I miss them, almost enought to buy another road bike.

[Str8 Jacket]

I just reminded Malcolm, his VFR is warranted and rego'ed AND working so he might come along for the ride.

MYGSFX - I will definately be at the PnJ from about 7.30ish onwards (if they let us back in again) if there is no rain.

We should be back at the Parrot and Jigger by 8.00pm.

It's up to the general consensus as to the route taken, but we always end up back at the P&J on Hutt Road for a drink and a bite to eat.

[WuZards-Eugene]

How long do these rides usually last?

Roughly about 1 hour riding time, and the rest is talking smack at the royal and the PnJ

[sels1]

Am in Welly

Nice to catch up again Jen, and good to see the usual suspects at the P&J

[mattathm]

Good ride was the first one........

The weather is looking ok at the moment - hopefully it will hold.

I got called in to Station Village last week to discuss our racing team (Drew and I) sponsorship with them.

It turns out that Station Sports Bar and Cafe and the Parrot and Jigger are separate entities, and while they were happy for me to bring people back and buy our drinks from P&J previously, they would now like me (us) to support the Station by buying our drinks specifically from their bar.

I know the food at P&J is good and I haven't sampled from the Station as yet - but, drinks are certainly cheaper at the Station and while I am yet to confirm it, I have been told that we may be able to get further discount on the price of drinks.

So, with this in mind. Would everyone attending TRTNR please consider purchasing their drinks (and food if possible) from The Station Sports Bar rather than the Parrot and Jigger.

The support they give Drew and I is quite awesome and reduces our financial burden considerably.

So, I am appealing to everyone to help Drew and I support them in return.

Thanks.

Good on them. Will they sponsor my rego? :woohoo:

[Deano]

:clap: Good call, but I doubt it. The bar manager rides a Harley so he is in the same boat as us all.

And I have just had the discount confirmed, plus another deal whcih I will explain tonight...if the weather holds.

Is the Parrot & Jigger actually one of your sponsors, or is it only the Station Sports Café that is a sponsor. Also, which one is the Station Sports, the one on the left or the right as you come in to the court yard?

The Station Sports Cafe and Bar is the one on your left as you enter. They are our sponsor, not the P&J.

Looks like the weather might cooperate tomorrow. Might see you guys then.

Bump. I'm going for a ride tonight. Anyone joining me. No, it is not organised. LOL

[Maki]

Thanks, nice ride up the hill. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your evening, I took off to see the fireworks.

[wayne708]

Yep, over the hill and back and still made it to town for the fireworks.

[mattathm]

Fireworks were good.... oh to be 19 again.
heheheehehehe

The TL was performing well again I just dont think it brakes as good as it should.
Any ideas? I have new fluid and sintered pads all round.

buy a buell.....:wari:

looks like there was a good turn out... i saw you guys JUST as you were leaving:bash: ....featherston

great timing... i should not have stopped for tea.. or a chat on the phone...lol:Oops:

[Deano]

Does performance drop off after riding and braking hard for a while or are they like it all the time ? If the former, braided brake lines could be the go if you don't already have them. If you get some just make sure they are DOT approved or you will likely have problems with getting a WOF.


i saw you guys JUST as you were leaving:bash: ....featherston


I wondered if that was you.

[Deano]

Great ride last night. Not a huge turnout but fun all the same.

[mattathm]

Hell yes....
good ride and good pasta at the pub afterwards, tho might try the nachos or the burgers from the station....

Ps small turnout... cmon guys and gurls

[Str8 Jacket]

[Maki]

Tremendous ride, great turnout. Had an epic ride back from Featherston, only got caught behind one car and it let me pass immediately. Very little traffic this evening, I guess everyone is having a BBQ in the nice weather.

[mattathm]

Awesum ride!!!

[ecko_nzed]

yeah good turn out, including a house!!!

why is it they could do a u-turn with a house in a small car park and my misus still has trouble getting a small car out of the drive????

[james007]

Hey, great ride last night. Finally got some really friendly weather. Pity about that Bushetts Transport truck that was deliberately obstructing us. Such a hero, we all saluted him on the way past.

That was a good run last night. A truckie pulled aside at the top of the hill and let us through this time. Nice. Road was clean and grippy. Nice to see some new faces too. AND and old one - great to see you Simon !! What a surprise.

[Fatjim]

Thats alright Hels. I'm an experience rider who has survived several Wednesday night jaunts.

[ecko_nzed]

Hell yeah, let's do that Wednesday nite ride!

I'm gagging to follow Buck Buck on his 250cc magical mystery tour (whadya mean ya don't go over the Taka's?)

[flame]

(unless anyone has a spare clutch master cylinder for a limping Aprilia I could borrow):weep:

[Deano]

Actually I may have spoken too soon. Washing and loading the bikes up tonight so may not be able to make it after all.

It may be Christmas eve, but it's still a thursday night. A thursday night featuring some of the finest weather so far.

[ajturbo]

if i have finished work by then, i will be keen..
but i am heading over to Martinbrough... so as long as we head towards there sometime on sunday..... lol...

[Deano]

Weather is looking........okayish at the moment.

Timely reminder to everyone that this ride is not a race. Group rides can be dangerous. Ride at your own pace and if the person in front of you isn't at 'your pace', make sure you overtake them safely and not scare the shit out of them.

I would be disappointed to see one of these threads started for TRTNR .......http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/117652-Wellington-s-Wefs-night-group-ride-RANT

Not that I'm anyone's mother of course.

[Str8 Jacket]

Yeah, ah.... *ahem* well I have ridden with you Thursday nighters and well I feel waay more safe riding with you guy's. In fact I am considering bringing my (new to me) RG out for a blat tonight, however with a combination of last night (which I am still fuming about) and lack of WoF & reg I may just meet ya'll at the pub.

[mattathm]

Count me in!

[wayne708]

shouldn't be too many bogans on the hill tonight....they'll all be at the AC/DC concert

[ajturbo]

looks likes there maybe a buell or two.......

[Str8 Jacket]

I have just come back from a jaunt over the hill. There is stock effluent, dirt and stones all over it! Just by the summit there is about a 30cm wide line of dirt and stones/gravel. While sitting at the Royal I watched a few dark clouds rolling over and then left before the bus to AC/DC did!!

See ya'll at the pub.

[ecko_nzed]

Not that I'm anyone's mother of course.

Yep me too. Leaving work now. Looks like a great night for it.

[Deano]

That was fun eh. Great attitude by the cop at Featherston pub....I think he felt he had done his job with the 'warning' and that was that.

I still stand by my view that the real point of the matter is who the feck decided to paint those yellow lines all over the place ?

[mattathm]

What yellow lines?

[Str8 Jacket]

I have had to come to the rescue of one of you boy's 2 weeks in a row now.

Ya'll have to start buying me beer..... ;)

Bloody cold morning though. It was the first time I'd worn my leathers in ages, and I forgot how well ventilated they are, especially around the inner thigh area:doh:

[mattathm]

I know who you are, haahahaahhaha UC.

[Southmotian]

The weathers good, who's keen for a ride? Meet at the duck pond at 12, probably head over to the 'rapa :scooter:

[mattathm]

Well that was a good ride, best decision made today was to turn back from a weather bomb on the Western Lake Road and head back to Featherson for a feed. Cheers guys, least it got us out of the house for a while.

[james007]

What ETD are people looking at?
I did the Castlepoint run the other weekend and a good bit of the nice twisties were like real damp and slick, but it`s still good getting out to the coast.
Whatever...I`m just a bit cautious riding on damp stuff y`know.
If there`s enough going I`ll be in.
This shit weather and the onset of cabin fever is getting to me.

Hi Stormer - keen to ride somewhere, anywhere. You on call at the mo or can you go a bit further afield?

[Stormer]

HA!!
Yeah, on call every 2nd week and that`s this week.
Either coast this side of "The Hill" is my limit...and that`s pushing it!

No, that`s a bit far out.
Roll on summer and dry roads!

Hey, such I nice day thought I'd go for a ride, as it might be a bit windy tomorrow (yes I know I'm a big girls blouse). heading out late arvo, for those of us that have chores to do.
