MENTOR required in Dunedin

[Quasievil]

We have a rider in Dunedin who wants a heads up on riding, this falls into the "Adopt a newbie" scheme
If your interested please go to you User CP and join the group membership, I will pick it up and put you in contact with each other

Cheers

He'd be able to teach how to best protect your home, attach tassels to a jacket and ride a Skirtster like it's meant to be ridden.

He'd be the man for the job allright.

[Jonty]

Good twisties on your way to South Otago too!! Just make sure you take a good winter jacket, you will freeze ya nuts off at this time of year

And how to avoid tickets, drink copious amounts of expensive whisky and talk shit. ( yep, got a black-belt ranking on that last one for sure.) :D

Seriously, I suggest he join Otago B.R.O.N.Z., they are quite active (over a 100 members from memory) and they will have an experienced member who is a whole lot handier than my address.

And a bit warmer for them too - got a beautiful clear day here this morning - shame about the 5 degree frost. (but hey, it's better than the rain some of you up north are getting.)

Scumdog, I used to be from down your way - Tapanui in fact. Some great rides through to central from your way especially the Manuka Gorge :niceone:

I'm not really one to teach as I'm still learning.

However if he does want a buddy to travel with him down to visit scumdog, and one that can patch a bit of leather.. pass on my details...

As an old fart just back in the saddle after 20 odd years, I'm probably not really qualified to tutor anyone at this stage. But if I can help in any way....

A bit cold down here now though :cold: When the going gets tough, the rest of us prefer the cage........ :whistle:

We all are, all the time I hope.

be careful he might take you a little too seriously, after all it has been pretty cold these last few days :tugger:

Oops sorry - I take it all back. I'M A REAL MAN!!!!!! Frost??? Snow??? I laugh at such trivials! HAAAHAAHAA!

(Does anyone know how much heated grips cost?) :cold:

Didn't I post that somewhere before?

[gamgee]

the only time it REALLY sucks is when it starts snowing, or you hit black ice, cause no matter how slow you go your pretty much gauranteed getting the arse out on it, as i found out, and dunedin is pretty hilly so you just have to stop ditch the bike and walk the rest of the way, not fun!

[Virago]

I don't know - I would need to give up work to keep up with your posts.

Congrats BTW on being the most active member. Can I asssume there's still no luck on the job front? :msn-wink:

Yep, years ago I lived up the top of Andy Bay, and would ride to work on frosty days at walking pace. When the bike slid out I'd just step off it and let it go. Too old for that crap these days.....

A set of Oxford wrap-around grips costs $135.00
Takes about an hour to set up the wiring, you then just put the wrap-arounds on and off as you want.

Both my bikes have a set.

Sorry Quasi, off topic.....

I have a cage too, but I just get sick of jump-starting it because the battery is flat.

I use my bike waaay too much :Punk:

Sorry - I started all that - suitably chastised :Oops:

[gamgee]

sorry, just dunedin doesn't come up much on here so sounded like a perfect opportunity to have a bitch about it :-) seeing as we don't get to whinge about bike cops/floods/<<insert other common rant here>>

Oh the nostalgia - my home stomping ground too; oh for the cold and dry weather - not the humid JAFA shite weather and traffic... :argh:

Good luck to the n00b you'll be a seasoned (and cold hardened) pro in no time!

Oh to go for a blatt on the Otago Peninsula...sigh...

(Sorry Quasi - off topic I know :o )

[Waylander]

Hey Quasi, did this mentor thing ever go anywhere? Not meaning just in Dunedin but over the whole of KB?

[igor]

he shift to Auckland and walk down Ponsonby road at 4am and hopefully Mr Sturm is driving past in his Porsche

he wood like to be his mentor.

[Jantar]

I've only just noticed thgis thread. I'm happy to mentor any Otago riders although I don't get to Dunedin very often. I was there on Saturday, and briefly saw Viargo and his wife as they tooted their cage horn at me.

So any Dunedin newbies who want advice just PM me and I'll help out where I can.

[Virago]

It ain't exactly a glowing balmy day further north either - or any drier.

It IS almost winter after all.

[Waylander]

Funny.. Perfect riding weather up here.:nya:

Only downside is being stuck at work forced to look at it and my boss showing up on his Guzzi just to flaunt the fact that he had the day off. Bastard.
