And if KB'd gotten a gold coin donation for every time that happened to a KBers, we'd be having KB sunday BBQs all through summer! :laugh:

Hmm, a regional KB fun sounds like an idea! It'd not only teach others to check their killswitch first, but Sunday BBQs would be great!

[Tigadee]

Different? From the talk that goes on in these forums I thought KiwiBiker was filled with fags. ;)

We don't all ride Hondas... :whistle:

Dont forget about this, fast approching....

Wonder how I can get a bottle of wine down on the trip and have it cold when I get there....

mmm candy apple red blairnz...rather fetching if i may say, i have a yin for colour! So, hows recovery Popeye (f2dz) an Cripple (GIBBOX)? Tig-One of the things i loathe most is when i come back to my bike and some filthy swine has deigned to taint MY by laying their grubby hands on her and hittin that kill switch. One of the 1st things i check these days, but yes, wish it was wired to emit a 50 volt shock to the porcine pretender. I found acupuncture somewhat helpful, some osteo and massage therapy...

Feeling better so far. Boss made me sick on Thursday though, so had yesterday off and stuck indoors again today which sucks. Hopefully make it out tomorrow to check out the classic show going down at the Telstra tomorrow though. Anyone else going to that?

Will be on the bike again on Monday, so hopefully seeing you guys on Wednesday, weather permitting..

Hey peoples, i must apologise for the no show and or notification of non attendance on Weds. Totally caught up in work and got distracted. Have not ridden all week! and very pissy bout it. Fingers crossed this weekend comes good weatherwise.

I got hammered coming home from work. Absolute ruddy downpour and wasn't in my rain suit. Couldn't make it owing to all my gear being completely soaked and no feasible way to dry it before 6.

Gah one day both work and weather will cooperate and I'll get to go. Been doing nothing on my bike but going to and from work, and thats so :yawn: Itching for a good ride.

[Tigadee]

Wife wasn't felling well, so had to stay home to keep an eye on her. Sorry fellas [and gals, if Maakz and Sis were there]...:bye:

Now that sounds like a really good plan. Will have to do that. Currently shopping for a bike to get me through the next 18 months (ho hum stupid restricted changes). I don't think the XJ could handle any extended rides :P Once I find whatever (No clue what I'm buying yet, anything I'd like is JUST over the power/weight ratio for LAMS compliancy) I'd be up for it. Dying to do the Coro loop.

I'll definitely be doing the Cape Reinga ride if that gets going again this year. I love the Northland, its my favorite part of NZ hands down.

The motorised 2 wheelers are abit kamikaze in their riding style too...freaky AND Last week i saw some cops on bikes...thought OH cool (they look so official and spiffy)...then laughed...they don't filter here (so were stuck for ages in the que even though there were filtering gaps a mile wide (the Japanese do strike me as being big on RULES..meh...)-my tour bus beat them down the road?) and drive in the left wheel track even though they're right drive vehicles??? Guess there must be logic to this, something um missing.

How are you and Moms? Enjoying 'NIFTY' ness ??? I see the Te Whakawi rides gathering steam and followers...i like the double entendre of the rides name BTW...KRAK UP.

Spokey-back to being a Westie aye...mate...i'm in for the odd ride with Tig and others when ur able.

Howdi All,

I know you meet up Thursday evenings and Ill join you folks on Thursday evenings from time to time, but do you do regular weekend rides as well?

I'd prefer a regular Sunday run, could join the North Shore crowd, but since I live in Pukekohe, makes more sense to ride in this area.

[nzspokes]

Anybody going?

[Sis]

Me!
And the message was too short!

[nzspokes]

Sorry, no body replied by 4.30 which is my home time. So im at home. Out west.

I am not sure that I want my "one-careful-lady-owner" bike being hooned around a race track.

Took a risk the other day and moved it to the storage while the rego is still on hold. Funny riding it with no noise and having such a short wheelbase. As well as revvy.

[JafaSaffer]

Soon to join you folks:

Mighty fine looking too.

Just make sure that you are riding in the correct group here.

We tend to pootle out in the country, honing our cornering technics. Followed by a bit of slow work in the carpark before wetting our whistles at the local.

[JafaSaffer]

works for me. I'm not that fast but been riding since 1997

[Maakz]

Hey Y'all!!! Back on home soil now...just getting over the jet lag, but come weds i should be ready to ride. OH YEAH!!! Mellow Yellows been outta comish for too long. Barring catastrophe at work, i should be there...:niceone::msn-wink::yes::scooter::scooter::scooter:

Maakz back with Mellow Yellow chaffing at the bit so it should be great

Hope the weather doesn't get in the way

[nzspokes]

Will try to make it but we will see. Life still getting in the way of riding. :confused:

[Glowerss]

I'll be there if the weather permits and I can get a new clutch cable in between now and then :wait:

looks like im in.

[Sis]

I will be having dinner at the posh diner tonight again, before the ride.
See you there

[Tigadee]

Just a short report on from last SASS: After the pub, the Suzuki started to run really rough. Before that it had died at the car park and Rob managed to find that the +ve battery connection was loose, so managed to revive it. Starting off from the pub later on, however, it was spluttering and backfiring, and only managed about 30kph. Headlight wouldn't come on either... :(

Just got on the motorway with Rob and Chris playing mother hens when Rob said it just wasn't safe, so we turned off the motorway and left the Suzuki at my workplace which wasn't far away. The next day, had a look at the bike with a couple of workmates and we found a blown fuse, plus tightened the loose battery connection. Bike started right away but headlight wouldn't come on. Rolled the bike out for a test ride and the headlight came back on! Rode the bike home with no incidents. Whew! :sweatdrop

Thanks Rob & Chris! You're awesome, mates!

Glad to hear you and the bike are OK mate. Was Worried about you getting the bike home, but as I still had the giant yellow loser plate hangin off the back, I had to book it home before the Five-O spotted me :ar15:

Also glad to hear the bike was a minor fix! :banana:

Plan is to go out through Maraetai and end up at the carpark in Manukau (opposite the police station)
Then we end up at O'Ryans Irish Pub which was The Bog. Behind Lone Star (near TelstraClear Centre)

If you don't get time to grab the scoot, some of us have been known to use 4 wheels.

[Maakz]

I'm coming tonight...though i might have to bail for the customary pub beverage.

Tig-wasn't thinking and assumed the blokey escort would do. Sorry to read things took a turn, but glad you were able to find the proby and fix the next day. Well done spokey & co.

[f2dz]

Correct me if I'm wrong, have only been to SASS a couple times, but I'm sure I saw Sis this morning on the motorway.. pinching car mirrors as she rode by.

I sat behind you for a few minutes before passing in the next lane, stupidly wasn't expecting so much traffic so I was almost late to work.

So if you noticed the blue ninja who pulled in front of you (after checking that you were futher back mind you!), and probably splitting too fast, that was me.

Gidday.
I noticed the bike. Wondered if it was someone I knew
I was a bit pissed off with 2 cars that were dilerberately trying to block me
When I got to work I had a message from police telling me that they will pull me over next time. The male voice mentioned about the Harley. What has that got to do lane splitting or pinching mirrors.
I can do it just as well on the CBR

By the way, CBR is back on the road and going up for sale

Pass the word around if you know of anyone who would like one - "one careful lady owner"

[Maakz]

Hey y'all-not gonna make it tonight...working. Have a good run, hope the weather plays ball. :bye:

Beautiful weather and lovely sunset this evening. Surprisingly I made it to the ride, so met Sis, Blue Rider and her fellow Teutonic friend, Mattias.

A relaxed ride and then straight to the pub for some good yarns and laughs.

[Matz]

It was realy a nice small ride, wonderful sunset. I'm looking forward to next Wednesday.

[Maakz]

Heya-yeah, problems cropped up at work. Looking good for this Weds, and have tales of little people to share aplenty, don't worry bout that Tig. Met Beryl today...rather sassy lil number blu...nice weather today. Hmmm, i reckon we should do a BBQ soonish...what yaz reckon?

[nzspokes]

My girl is coming home for a visit Wed and may be staying depending on how she copes. So i wont be there.

[OutLander]

Is anyone coming tomorrow?

[Tigadee]

I'll be there... :niceone:

[JafaSaffer]

Is anyone coming tomorrow?

Yeah I may actually be there as well. I need to get out for a blast.

Will confirm later tomorrow all depend how work goes.

[Chris_r]

I'll be there too

[Tigadee]

I'll be there too

:niceone: :drinknsin

[Maakz]

still looking good to meet y'all at the rendezvous point as per usual...:banana:

[Tigadee]

:woohoo: Will be good to see you, Maakz!

[nzspokes]

[Tigadee]

Pity you won't be there tonight, Spokes, but with good reason... :yes:

[JafaSaffer]

[Maakz]

See yous at the rendez point-Spokes, :2thumbsup:2thumbsup:2thumbsup have a great night in buddy.

[Sis]

Looks like I will not be able to make it tomorrow night.

[Tigadee]

I might not make it for the long ride (50-50 at the mo), but will be there for car park and pub if weather holds... I thought it was supposed to be sunny today?! :facepalm:

[Chris_r]

couldn't make it tonight sorry, Had to drop some stuff off to a customer after work

[Tigadee]

Nobody but poor Maakz turned up at the Z station? And no one at the car park and pub? I turned up late and found no one! Ah well, next week fellas...

[Maakz]

All good, i had a fair idea y'all would bail given our thread memos, so decided to be the diligent checker upper in case some poor soul decided to go to the rendezvous points. Alas, i thought any laggers would hit the car park by 8.30pm not get waylaid like our mate Tig..curiously, not much traffic on the roads tonight after peak hour which was entirely pleasant. MY and i had a nice pootle zipping around the back roads to get home. OH and reminder to the SASS ladies, AMPS has a ladies night on tomorrow 6pm-9.30pm. I had a mind to turn up, but ya never know what the wind holds.

[Tigadee]

, but ya never know what the wind holds.

Especially after some beans, beef vindaloo or in my case, capsicum!

[nzspokes]

Yeah sorry guys, I may well be out for sometime looking after Sharry. Shes getting better everyday.

If anybody heads out west, pop by for a coffee.

[Tigadee]

Woohoo! :woohoo: I'll bring some treats to go with the coffee...

[OutLander]

I got late so went directly to the car park but didn't find anyone(7:15pm). Noone there or wrong map point on the first page?

Thanks to the rest of the group for sticking by and helping get petrol for a rescue! :niceone: You know you're riding with top people in the SASS group...

[Sis]

I thought it was a great exercise and something we have not covered before.
Always something going on here!

[Chris_r]

Couldn't make it tonight as I had my birthday dinner. see you guys next week

[Maakz]

Adventurous night...meeting yous enroute at the village, the mishap taking in the idyllic view, me getting waylaid by hunger pains then transporting turkish contraband (the chicken kebab stuffed in me jacket) back to south auckland, taking the wrong turn off home and ending up in East Tamaki where all the roads back to Manukau were closed off due to road works and having to go via East Tamaki Otara, being complimented by window washers at the Puhinui lights who mistook me for a patched dude and finally...meeting the crew back at the watering hole to be greeted by hot choccy courtesy of Tig and to share some laughs about the night. FABULOUS MATEs.

[Tigadee]

Couldn't make it tonight as I had my birthday dinner. see you guys next week

Happy birthday, mate! :wings: Hope it was a good one!


...being complimented by window washers at the Puhinui lights who mistook me for a patched dude...

:killingme

[Glowerss]

Sorry I couldn't make the Pub! Partner just got back from being away 4 days, and it wouldn't do me any favors to be out all night with the bike :devil2:

Was as interesting ride following behind ol tiggadee as leader! Between the fuel mishap, and your seeming philosphy that speed limits are more guidelines then actual rules :laugh: it was a great ride!

Looking forward to next week! What a nice night out though!

[Tigadee]

What a beautiful sunset... to see that flaming red globe of a sun setting into the horizon as we crested the hill coming into Manukau city centre.

It was a perfect end to an eventful ride... :yes:

Good session last night. Four of us for the ride and car park and then five at the pub (actually Lone Star as the usual watering hole was booked for a Xmas do)...

Weather held up and a luverly sunstrike-less ride thanks to low clouds. Figure eights in the car park with ever-decreasing radius. Good solid training...

[Maakz]

Yes, was a good wee pootle and practice sesh.:scooter:..was amazed at the hot choccy mallows that came with the hot choccy :love:..so should have ordered one of those! AND was good to see our young padewan replete in some rather styly gear..very good young fulla. :msn-wink:Gratz to Big Papa, a lovely addition to the SASS family. :niceone: hmmm we should do a coffee run out west very soon, just cos we can and cos a mate resides out those ways.

[Sis]

Just checked the rain radar

I think I will be taking the car

Not looking good for coming home later

[Tigadee]

In that case, how about I meet you peeps at Rob and Sharry's?

Or if you don't know the way, then somewhere along the way, like the Countdown at Lynfield? I can take you from there.

[nzspokes]

Tiz wet out here now, but dont worry I stayed dry on the way home.

[nzspokes]

Plenty of room in the carport if anybody on a bike.

[Tigadee]

Great night - nice to see Sharry up and about, and in good spirits. What did we talk about? Bikes, biking and bikers, of course! Thanks for the hot drinks and bickies!

[nzspokes]

Unfortunately i had to call an ambulance an hour after you guys left. Sharons back in Northshore now for a day or so by the sounds. I got home about 3.30.

[Tigadee]

:eek5: Oh no! Let us know if you need anythng...

[Glowerss]

Seconded what Tig said. Only a minute down the road mate, hollar if you need anything.

[Maakz]

Awww NO mate, sorry to hear...:no:...we didn't tax her too much with our visit did we? Ditto everyone else, just hollah.

[Tigadee]

Sharry's home by the afternoon, so no worries now. Apparently she needed to upgrade her Iron Woman suit to the Mk 7 aka Avengers version...

[Tigadee]

May be a few drops in the afternoon but nothing major, so let's meet up and go for a ride this evening!:eek:

[Sis]

Have a great holiday, y'all, and I'm eagerly awaiting the start of next SASS!

[Glowerss]

Gutted I couldn't make it to the last one. Looked like a really nice night for it too.

No SASS till Feb? Gonna get withdrawal symptoms! :cold:

If anyone want's to go for a ride in January sometime, I'm always up for one :woohoo:

[Tigadee]

No reason why we can't just keep meeting up for a ride and pub session on Wednesday nights... :blip: Sis deserves a rest of course, but the rest of us can still go for a blatt, especially for the newer riders if they're keen.

'cept for some major sunstrike, it was indeed a beautiful night last night.

[Tigadee]

Hey, SASSy people! Are we meeting up for a session this Wednesday [tomorrow]?

I'm keen! :headbang:

[Sis]

Count me in

And Happy New Year

[The End]

Hey, SASSy people! Are we meeting up for a session this Wednesday [tomorrow]?

I'm keen! :headbang:

[caseye]

Never been before, but any excuse for a ride is a good one. Might be there depending on whether or not I can find some new tyres tomorrow :scooter:

Go see Drury Performance Tyres, they'll be able and willing to sort you out.

[Sis]

Will Drury be open?

[caseye]

I believe so there Sis. hope to be seeing you guys and girls a bit more from now on, both me an Ratbag.

[nzspokes]

Never been before, but any excuse for a ride is a good one. Might be there depending on whether or not I can find some new tyres tomorrow :scooter:

Drury tyres and cycletreads would probably be open tomorrow, ring first.

Sass is a good bunch of people.

[nzspokes]

Count me in

And Happy New Year

Happy new year Jayne. Enjoy the ride tonight, perfect weather for it. Let us know when you have a spare evening and we will see if we can organize a dinner. Would be nice to hear that Harley rumble again.

Sharrys off for another hand team visit next week. She may be getting the external metal work out. :clap:

[Sis]

Cool about Sharry and the dinner.All the best Sharry. Will let you know about dinner.

[The End]

Go see Drury Performance Tyres, they'll be able and willing to sort you out.


Bugger me, the one time I want to get tyres and I pick a public holiday. Drury Performance are shut today, and not getting anything from Red Baron or Cycletreads. Maybe next week then :sleep:

[Glowerss]

I'll be there tonight. Looking like an excellent night for it!

[Sis]

Great Night Thanks Guys.
I may not be there next week. I am sure you will find the Hunua Gorge again. And remember, we did Jones Road tonight. If you take the next left, you will come down SkyHigh Road into Clevedon.

[Tigadee]

Beautiful night for a ride and thanks Sis for the new route!

[Glowerss]

Was an absolutely fabulous ride. Thanks sis for doing leader and navigator duties :) Fabulous route!

[nzspokes]

I might be there tomorrow. I might bring my girlfriend along. Just depends

Got a pork roast in the freezer for when you come around.:yes:

Have a nice ride guys.

[Tigadee]

Take care, Spokes! Looking forward to the day when you're back to SASS...

[Glowerss]

Take care, Spokes! Looking forward to the day when you're back to SASS...

[nzspokes]

It looks like i will be there tonight.....

[Tigadee]

[Sis]

Sorry Guys but we have had too many beers here so wont be driving/riding anywhere.

[Tigadee]

:laugh: That's OK, Sis. Good to have a few too many beers once in a while...

We went on the same route as last week courtesy of Spokes. Awesome ride, some challenges and lessons learned. :niceone:

Where's Maakz? :scratch: Haven't heard a peep out of her and surprised she missed a couple rides...

[Maakz]

Hey fellow SASS bodz, still here. :yes:..missed the last few rides cos i've been the only one manning the office for work over the holiday period.:violin:..and tonight was my last work day before i head to the middle east for a couple weeks tomorrow.:woohoo:..had to get some bits and pieces sorted. Was gutted i wasn't able to ride AND prob won't make a ride til Feb the way things are going. :cry:Rides sound like they were great though. :scooter:

Oh, as for challenges...coming out of High St carpark building, i'm at the lights and get a green to cross Victoria St lights onto Lorne, then 3 people decide to walk leisurely in front of MY and i when i am literally in motion and crossing the threshold.:facepalm:..the witless young female and her dimwitted escorts got the fright of their lives, they were on a red walky person...paid no heed, trotted across without looking left and right, then heard me rev a warning, looked at me - then leisurely kept going and assumed i would be stopping. Hog passed a hairs breath from the vapid females frilly slippered foot. :Oops:Some people have no goddam sense! :angry:Knew i wasn't going to hit her obviously but they danced a fine line tonight, or should i say, skipped...hahaha...unbelieveable. Natural selection 2013...natures way of culling abberations. :shutup:
