BOP KBers GET TOGETHER

[woody68]

Hi guys

I would like to have a get together of the Bay of Plenty KBers so we can get to know each other in person and maybe organise some rides or maybe a monthly get together. :ride:

I think the Auckland guys do something similar.

I was thinking at the Worlds End Sports Bar at fraser cove its got plenty of parking out side so we can check out each others rides and have a drink and a chat. :drinknsin

Sunday the 12th of June at say 11:00

If you got some ideas please post them.

I think there is about 20 to 30 KBers in the greater BOP area it would nice to meet you guys. :niceone:

Cheers Darrin

...

...

No, we officially proved last month that we blow goats.

You must be thinking about the Wellington guys - Thursday pool nights.

[What?]

Hmmmmmmm...
Could be a plan.

[Ogri]

Where the hell is Fraser Cove???

[saul]

I would be interested :D :niceone:

[Holy Roller]

Monthly may be too much of a commitment at this time already attend Ulysses rides when shifts and family commitments allow.

Is there another name for this establishment its not listed in the phone book is it by Parkdale.

[woody68]

If your coming into Tauranga for down your way you turn left at the first set of lights on 15th ave that is Fraser St and go down there to the lights and turn right into the carpark.

You cant miss Worlds End Sports Cafe its on corner closest to the road in the main building.

Fraser cove is where the big Warehouse is.

We dont have to meet every month but there may be some that would like to.

I will be there with one or two of my mates on that sunday and see what happens

[Rainbow Wizard]

And you'll have to keep mentioning the date in every post so it gets into the minds of every Tga/Mt/Te Puke/Katikati rider that reads this site.
I may not be that easy to forget (just try it buddy), but I am decidedly wayward when it comes to remembering dates that I intend to be somewhere.
Something about being too overloaded.

PS: Have we started work on your job yet Rainbow wizard.
Sorry, le Voxan is retired for 5 months awaiting the custom mufflers I am threatening to make, and a few other bits n pieces that I hope to pick up in France when I go to the Voxan factory in July (nah-nah-na-nah-nah). I get to pat the tank as I walk past it on my way inside each evening; sort of reminds me quietly like.
PS GR is coming to see me tomorrow about the new building.

[saul]

Just wanted to bump it because I am useless and wanted the +1 to = 100 :niceone:

[kawa10]

i'll be there. although even 11 is too early for me too start drinking though. :msn-wink:

[woody68]

Good one guys sounds like we should have a good number coming.
Would you like a later start time or is 11:00 ok?

I was thinking of the ones who want to come from out of town.

Are there any KBers from Rotorua who would like to come?
I get down that way a bit and would like to meet any one who is up for a ride around that area theres some good roads around there. :yes:

[Excal]

IM from Rotorua , but im getting my license this weekend , and then have to get a bike . Just wondering if anyone knows of some places to buy bikes ( limited to 2k ) . Any help would be appreciated , Thanks

[woody68]

Hi Excal
Did you pass your test today?
I dont know much about your bike shops there but try them.
I would go for a GN 250 first. :niceone:

[kawa10]

just bumping it up. got it marked on the calender? :ride:

[woody68]

Good job Kawa10

I've been away for aweek and a half so just catching up now.

[Matt Bleck]

Oh buggery bollocks, the club I ride with (TMTC) has a ride on that day! Maybe next time. :niceone:

[woody68]

That sucks.

I tried not to clash with anything.
Sorry better luck next time

[woody68]

This date is on the calender and should come up soon. :niceone:

[What?]

First lesson for an organiser - You can't please all the people all the time. Not even if you supply free beer.

[DingDong]

12/6/05 at 11am, Worlds End. Will be there
You will have to confirm once you have numbers... might be just u & me!

[ajturbo]

Where the hell is Fraser Cove???

ummm MY question is ..WHERE THE HELL IS KAWERAU..????

[ajturbo]

12 june........ 11 am.........fraser cove............turbo.......me.....luke......we ....be....there............:Punk: :drinkup:

[DingDong]

xj650s are cool, I raced one for two years (non turbo) and I killed it... boom!

[Holy Roller]

ummm MY question is ..WHERE THE HELL IS KAWERAU..????
Halfway between Rotorua and Whakatane, just over the hill (some of the best twisties in the bay) from Lake Rotoma.

The flooding at Matata that has been on the news is 15mins north from us.
One of the better provincial towns I have lived in, tree lined streets, councl will to work with you not a lot of red tape. A low crime rate. Usually mentioned on the news weather section for having the nations high. Hunting fishing and bike riding paradise.
But you can't come
The price of houses have increased in value because too many peeps want to live here now. (That is until after I have brought a house)

[ajturbo]

xj650s are cool, I raced one for two years (non turbo) and I killed it... boom!

a friend of mine raced an xj900 in a sidecar.. speedway for a couple of years, he built up a longer sharft drive.. i think that lasteda couple of seasons also.....

[saul]

Good day out... thanks guys, we'll need to do it again in a month or so and get the rest of the BOP KBers out on the road. Camera was playing up a little but managed a few pics. Wanted a picture of an R1 mono but it vanished...? :niceone:

radar on picked up cops in greeten... barks corner!

here are some of the guys... take note of the guy on the turbo!!!!:Punk:

[What?]

Great to meet you guys today. Not a bad meeting place, either, even if the coffee was a bit "Ho-Hum"(bloody laughed when Rainbow Wizard ordered a long black and it came with a little jug of milk!!).
Where did you all go? I decided to go back from the top of the hill - had a job or two at home that required taking advantage of the fine weather... Plus it leaves me free for next weekend.

[Rainbow Wizard]

Great to meet you guys today. Where did you all go?
Left into Te Waerenga Road (a nice variation for the descent to the lake but watch out in winter because that lichen on the big downhill is much greener and just going for it!). A good short loop is R at the lake then R up Central Rd which is the next one after the Tauranga road when going towards Ngongataha, then R again into Jackson Road which joins back onto the Pyes Pa Road just uphill of Te Waerenga Rd. Great for pushbike exercise too if you need it!
We went out the Ohau Channel end and back here via Paengaroa/Te Puke and Welcome Bay Rd. http://www.voxanclubdefrance.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/new_color_.gif

[DingDong]

Who was the chap on the thundercat was he a mate of yours???

Nah... I think he came down with woody, but I heard some things :rofl: and I later saw with my own eyes :ride: .
But each to their own, he was having a blast :Punk:

Oh yeah, I knew you were off... maybe I'll mount a video next time and you can be the STAR, if I can keep up.

[kawa10]

What did you see???

[DingDong]

On the edge at 20... i better leave it at that, dont want to offend anyone :yes:

[DingDong]

Who was the chap on the thundercat was he a mate of yours???

And now that I know WTF I'm talking about... Yes, Darrel is a mate of mine, we've been racing (beachracing- see photo) and riding for years.
He has an absolute hard-on for R1's too he's been talking wesico for the thunder-ace. :devil2: He's our local FZ expert.

We go riding alot, mostly off the cuff.
I'll be sure to post our next outing... Meremere might be a hoot

The first pic is an almost blowed-up XJ650, and next is Darrelssoon to fall out FZ crank!

[saul]

Ok we are on track :niceone:

Is that beach racing up at 90 mile beach?

Rooosterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr tail territory :yes:

[DingDong]

Rooosterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr tail territory :yes:

Both those photos were taken at Gisborne... the black sand pics below are from Waioku by Pukekohe.

Noone races there anymore, one guy (Euan) on a gsxr11 could hit 240kph within the 800mtr straight, my gpz900 would be lucky to hit 200kph and my xj650 could only manage 160.
Roosters? yes indeed... I wonder how fast an R1 or ZX10 would go? we'd need to find a 190 dirt tyre to shread.

[woody68]

Hi guys sorry about the orgnistion will try harder next time. Had a good time anyway bloody good to meet you guys. that side road Rainbow showed us was great on the Duc just like the roads in its home country. I cant get to a putor much at the moment but will keep up when i can.

PS: Saw Kawa10 on a KR150 on thursday what a smile that put on my face. :rofl:

[kawa10]

at least i was on a bike and not in a cage . i saw you hanging out the window drooling at the power. :ride:

[DingDong]

:rofl: :motu: I like it

[DingDong]

I've started a thread to go to the drags in Meremere if you guys are interested, it's a bit early but :whistle:

[stocky]

so some one mentioned that there would be another meet for bop kiwibiker people any ideas when i should have my bike within a week or 2 and would be very interested to get some open road mileage on it

[tl_tub]

Hey, I might even have the Katana back togeather in time for the next meeting (with 6 bolts and one camshaft left over)! :yes:

[DingDong]

I'm sure someone will organise something soon, great to have you along :Punk:

[ajturbo]

i am free for next wekend....

if weather ok....

or is that toooo soon, :motu:

let me know and i will sort out a ride... 2-300ks?

andy

hahaha just thought... i really don't know the area very well ... i could just go get lost.... with all the other BOP kbers.. hahahaha:whistle:
but it will be fun!!:clap: :yes:

[ajturbo]

just a thought from Babyb........

Some are interested in coming to furture events that they can bring the kids..

Maybe similar meetings like this could be arrange mounthly
meeting at a cafe in the morning, for the ones that can not always ride as well as the ones that can and have it tied into a bike ride in the afternoon for the ones that can, so that everyone can still get together and get to know each other...

examples, husbands, wives and partners all meeting for coffee and the ones that want to ride in the afternoon can all go off together and those that don't could always stay and talk/shop/eat/ race out with spanner's if someone forgets there like has happend before LoL.

[ajturbo]

ok.. Babyb has just told me that she would sort out a route:devil2: :devil2:

honest she did:devil2: :devil2: !!!:whistle:

:yes:

[saul]

Hi Andy.

Good skills mate :clap:

I should have my bike back by next weekend and would be keen.

Where ever we go needs to be a little open as this weather at the mo is a bich if the roads are covered in shade all day :yes:

[ajturbo]

ok...

open it....MAY be hahahha

will work on something durring the week...

BUT IF IT IS RAINING IT WILL ONLY BE A COFFEE MEET......i am toooo old to do a fun ride in the wet
:motu:

[stocky]

yeah that sounds wise i am too young and inexperienced for it!!
um we could just go get lost random turns here and there would be fun haha
i wont be able to come for at least a couple of weeks dont wanna rush into a bike wanna find a good one
