Kapiti Weekend Rides

[rjg]

Ok, I'll check this thread again in the morning but 10:30 at the haywards carpark for the meeting place sounds good to me.

Cheers

where are you planning on going? And where is this carpark? Is it the one at the bottom of the Haywards right by SH2?

[blackdog]

[WuZards-Eugene]

Have a great day Richard. Big frost here in the Rapa - very chilly but going to be a lovely day

[Cloggy]

I thought it would freeze here in the Nui too but no such luck. Just cold and foggy.
Once the sun breaks through the fog here it should be an awesome day.
Anyone have any ideas on a destination?

well - who would have ever thought it would be so cold in the Rapa. Left home to a reasonable day. struck ice on the top of the Takas. Hands numb to the bone by the time i got to Haywards. Back over again with the rest of the team, ice and grit gone,

Very eerie ride round western lake in thick fog. The fire at the Ferry never felt so good. My fingers are still numb, and I heard the sun still shining in welly!!!

[GreenZX]

May have to invest in some heated grips. Quick run home timed the hill just right 2 boys in blue heading up the hill just as we got to the bottom on hutt side. suns out over here:sunny:.

[Connor]

Great to get out for a ride and catch up with people ,nice to get over the Rapa
again but a bit damn chilly round the Western lake in the fog.Still sunny up the Coast though.

[Quasi]

farrk - its still bitterly cold here. Nice to see some new and old faces.
Shit - what am i saying - think the old faces are even younger then mine:blink:

[Cloggy]

Nice to get out and about again and meet some new faces in the process.
Even though it was chilly I enjoyed it. And yes the sun may be shining here in Wainui but it is still cold here too, got the fire going already.

+1 Really good (if very cold) ride.

Sorry I didn't join you all for lunch - I got worried about my fuel level and decided to double back to martinborough (didn't realise that the cafe was only a couple of more corners away - doh!).

Luckily I bumped into the group again at the lookout.

[pauldarney]

A great day, was good and catch up I enjoyed it. (yes and a bit chilly).

[Gone Burger]

Sure was a cold day and I was hoping that you were all keeping warm out there.

Took the car out of the garage this morning, loaded it up in the driveway. After 2 minutes of being on the road i couldn't see a thing and was driving blind... managed to find somewhere to pull over and discovered my whole windscreen had completely frozen over. Wow - never seen it frezze over a I drive, that was something new.

Pleased a group of you got out for a ride and made it home safely again. I was missing not being out there.

Soo... next weekend, isn't there racing at Manfield on Saturday? I so, I think I might take a full day and go up and watch.

Perfect. Perhaps us two should do a door to door mission and round up some of the boys - I mean gentlemen - out that way. A good days riding, watch some racing, a bite to eat on the way home somewhere and Carla and me to keep you company. Now thats what I call a day out (is it working yet??????)

If weather is behaving, be keen to tag along

[Gone Burger]

Add another girlie to that list.

Good stuff Viv - looking forward to the good pace you set!

[Neshi]

if the weather is anything like today, I'd be keen to head up as well. I have to make the most of the free time during the start of the semester, while I am not yet swamped with ridiculous amounts of work.

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

+1, but I'm away next weekend.

Oh well, the ride pics sure will be interesting.

Come and join us the the local on Friday night ,plenty of accommodation over here

[Eyegasm]

Was an interesting day that is for sure.

Found out that waving is different from pointing at your tank... Sorry Ben.

Also had something I have not experienced to date... A tankslapper at 100+/-Kph... Very interesting feeling that.
Managed to keep it up and not panic, was over before I realised. But no way do I want another one!!

And I love the Crayon box photos, Silver Bike, Yellow Bike, Green Bike, Black Bike, Blue Bike, Red Bike.....

[ducatigirl]

I am assuming these quotes aren't related but it did read pretty funny for a moment.

I would like to go but have running in Waikanae. Perhaps if there was a convoy heading back, I could catch it on the way home or something.

[sinfull]

Just to add a new spin on things, if any of you riders wanna stop in and say "happy birthday you old git", I is having a wee shindig at the new place (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?hl=en&tab=wl)on saturday/night/sunday to cellibrate gettin old(er), tents welcome, with plenty of paddock space (bunkroom aint quite there yet)

Realise i havent been stickin my nose out in these rides, you'll see the reason if ya stop in, (hands hurt far too much to twist a throttle, ok so it's been cold too)

[Quasi]

Update for Saturdays proposed ride to Manfield:

Weather looking rubbish with showers all the way up with rain at times. POO!

Hopefully that changes again over the next day or two, but will only make a day of it if we get the good stuff from the weather gods **does a little dance to impress them and make the sun shine**

Now - as you were :)

Yeah - next time more dancing on the table gareth:sunny: But the rain dance worked a charm for the AB's:yes:

Wonderful ride, even the rain could not surpress the grin, though the blind driver trying to take out Aaron and Charlotte did leave me dismayed:angry:

Thanks for finally being shown the correct way to go North that does not involve SH1 - great road Wayne even the bouncy bridge:shit: Now just need to get the map out and work out where the hell we were.

Love riding with you guys and gals:love:

Karaoke anyone???

[Gone Burger]

lol agreed - great day and well please we decided on the two wheels instead of four.

Actually enjoyed the rain too, odd girl that I am! But it did mean for wet attire out on the road this afternoon. Wet soggy boats simply suck! No other way of putting it really.

Thanks ladies and gents, a real pleasure as always - so good I could sing a little song ;)

Hi Ya's. Anyone get out today? Was pretty darn good in the Valley. UNfortunatly Ive been tied up with an accountant ( more fun than you might think :blink:) for tha last several weeks. I think Ive got time off for good behaviour next weekend tho, so hoping to sneak out if the weather gods feel like obliging.

Quick headsup to you lot that I havent contacted. I'm celebrating the finalisation of the battle over my hubbys estate. Yaaaaay! Should you wish to come and help me out with partying on 21st August, can you pm me please? There is a dressup theme, we will all chip in and bring food, byo drinks.PLenty of off street parking on concrete for bikes, space on the floor ( a few beds ) for overstayers... Partners and kids welcome.

the ones Ive already pm'd, can you confirm please? And for goodness sake help AJTurbo with an idea for food ...

[Gone Burger]

Your a keen young man aren't you? Actually, the roads not too bad up there at the moment just a little slippery. If you came past close to 1pm stop at the top of the drive - you cant miss it - aweful big "FOR SALE" Sign outside.:argh:

Might see you tomorrow - safe riding

[sinfull]

We will be out and about today (yes just for a change) if anyone's cruising SH1

Gonna head up to foxton for a surprise visit to one of the boys in their new shop. They aint too busy at the moment (who gets into an ice cream hot dog shop in winter ?) so we gonna stop for a dog just before lunch, then on through the manawatu somewhere the nose takes us and back through to sparkies bar and then maybe an icecream at Robs before heading back to the clubrooms for a couple of bevies or coffee !

So if ya see a bunch of bikes parked outside a milk bar in main st foxton, yep it's us milkbar cowboys on a sundae sunday ride !

[wayne708]

Am working on getting out today, in which case I will try and make Rimutex around 1:15

Great days ride. Really sorry for Eddie's accident but glad no serious damage. Nice to catch up with the other riders at the white swan and be greeted by a hug from the lovely Carla. Take care one and all and look forward to riding again soon.

John

[spacemonkey]

What happened to Eddie?

[John_H]

What happened to Eddie?

Eddie took a bend too wide and ended up flipping bike in a ditch several times. He did a bit of flipping himself and we hope he escaped just with what seemed to be a broken collar bone.

[spacemonkey]

Bugger :(

At least no major damage to him..... Much left of the bike?

[Cloggy]

Eddie's fine. I had a call from his wife when I got home. No broken bones, just a concussion.
He will be very sore in the days to come.

Great day for riding eh? We even discovered some new Wairarapa roads.....pity they didnt go anywhere:doh:
Good to catch up with folk at the top of the hill and at the White Swan.
Had a nice pootle home via the Akatarawas (complete with Scone stop at Chez Katiepie - I ate your one too, AJ :p )

There are still plenty left :) and there will be more next week!

Thanks to the folk this afternoon for a lovely wee ride, and for the fun play on the Akas Sels - really enjoyed that. Pleased you made it home safely.

Will try and plan some kind of BBQ at my place soon after a ride.

[ajturbo]

I ate your one too, AJ :p )

i was scared of the grumpy "flatmate" that Katie told me about.... and i had to go and do some work...

[Ratti]

Good move all things considered AJ!
Perhaps we should raid Katies house this weekend???
Aunti Ratti will look afta ya

[Gone Burger]

Weather is looking good at this stage for Saturday, Wind becoming strong with rain on Sunday.

Was thinking perhaps a castle point run on Saturday or something similar?

[Cloggy]

That sounds like a brilliant idea.
Just a shame I won't be able to make it all this weekend.:(
Gotta work all weekend which is not something I usually do. Installing a new ERP system at work and it's all hands on deck for the swapover.

Weekends not looking good for me. I might get out for a bit of a ride sunday afternoon.

[Gone Burger]

I hope you both know that I take it personally! :crybaby:

[Ratti]

Just you, me and our bikes then Chik. A run over the hill sounds just the ticket. Longest run Ive done on Ducky for weeks now was into MOtorad last week. Accountant confirms I can have Saturday off. Yippee!

[Quasi]

i may be a maybe. Going to Palmy but could go the long way via Castlepoint:innocent::scooter::yes:

Girls with bikes.......mmmmm

[Ratti]

PSSST, Carla...
If we keep quiet the boys will piss off somewhere else and do boystuff

You mean go play with ones self

[Paul in NZ]

You mean go play with ones self

Well I sincerely hope you don't go off and play with each other :sick:

[Ratti]

Paul, Gareth can play with himself or anyone else he wants to play with. Never have figured out what 'boystuff' chaps do when they go off together...

So, Carla, Katie, which boys shall we talk about? Actually I can think of way more interesting things to talk about. But what the heck, lets keep 'em guessing.

[ajturbo]

sooo... does that mean i'm invited or what?

[Gone Burger]

Now this could get interesting! lol :shit:

Its so hard to talk when you are singing to yourself in your helmet, whist still trying to smile! Need to work on my skills there I reckon.

Is there a cafe at all down at Castle point? I've only been there once and just dont recall.

Come on gentlemen, really, who can come and play? (Ratti and Carla, just giving them a chance so they think its "fair" lol)

[Gone Burger]

sooo... does that mean i'm invited or what?

Course you are AJ - you're fun to play with on the road! (sorry for holding you up on the takas though)

[ajturbo]

i'm expecting a friend NP... well WAS expecting them, but just got a txt to say that they cannot get a baby sitter.... told them that i think luke was 3 at one time, so i can look after the rug-rat.... but think it a no-come-to-see-AJ weekend.. this means i will be free to hoon... missed out on the last CP run...

[ajturbo]

Course you are AJ - you're fun to play with on the road! (sorry for holding you up on the takas though)


hell woman.. you were NOT holding me up... i was perving......

you were taking great lines and it was not a race!!!!
you were in front and i was happy to stay behind, so don't EVER say you were holding me up, it was my CHOICE to keep behind you

Ok - fair point, thanks. i just thought I was super slow on those corners, still getting a fright with my pegs on every turn. Must get over the fact that I think I hold people up, and must trust they they will pass if they want to! See - I'm learning ;)

[sels1]

. Must get over the fact that I think I hold people up, and must trust they they will pass if they want to! See - I'm learning ;)

Yup, if they want to pass and can, then they will
If they don't, then they won't.
And if they want to pass you and can't, then they won't either!!!:D

[Ratti]

Righteo Katie, in the interests of fairness, the boys can tag along and play with us girls..ok?

Ive tried this singing in the helmet game and it really sux.

If there is no cafe where we are going why dont we bring flasks of cofee? Boys bring a plate, or a packet of bikkies? If i knew the weather would be up to scratch I could bring my wee BBQ and we coudl do sossies and bread

Castlepoint is a great ride, I popped out there last weekend in the car.
I know, I konw, but I can't take pillions yet!

There is a cafe of sorts out there but it's pretty limited in it offerings, and it felt like I was inconveniencing the girl there by ordering something.

I could leave the woodwork behind for another day

[Gone Burger]

Great - looks like we have some takers!

Now... what time should we head out? Perhaps an 11.15am meet up at summit? So, leave from the Rimutex by 11am? Too late? Im in one of those "I can't bloody decide moods".

How is that sounding my friends?

[Wannabiker]

Given that it is a reasonably long ride, I suggest leaving a bit earlier. hows 10.30 from Rimutex??

[Gone Burger]

O.K - sounds good to me, I just always feel bad form dragging "certain" people to a meeting point any hour in the AM :)

I'll be at the Rimutex ready to leave by 10.30am - so for folks meeting at the summit, we should be arriving around 10.45am ish.

Kapiti folk.. not sure what time for you to meet up?

[wayne708]

And Masterton Mobil North end around 11:30 ish for a wee top up before the run to the coast:yes:

[Neshi]

is this for the saturday or the sunday?

[Gone Burger]

Saturday. Weather looking bad for Sunday

[jonesy63]

sounds good hope to see you at Rimutex about 10.30 Kapiti folk meet around 9.30 am old mobil station cnr Ihaka Street and state highway one. The station thats no longer in use. come back to me via txt 0274 421 927

[DR650gary]

Not sure if he was a member but a V Max rider, Mike Thomas from Raumati, died last weekend from complications after a recent motorcycle accident. His funeral is tomorrow 11:30 am, Saturday, at the funeral home just over the railway line in Paraparaumu. They are then taking him to the crematorium in Waikanae and his widow wanted some form of escort for him, sort of Buzz him off.

If anyone is able or knew him and is willing then I am sure his widow would be please. A mate of mine, Ross, will be there on his Harley as he knows the widow from his work, but not Mike.

Cheers

[Gareth51]

Saturday. Weather looking bad for Sunday

Saturday it is then...and I think 10:00 at Rimutex and 9:30 at Mobil Kapiti lights otherwise the day will be gone before it's started

Don't confuse the locals, it's the 'working' mobil station at the lights for Kapiti ride assemblage.

A heads up for anyone headed out to Castlepoint tomorrow..... take it easy.

Heading out not too bad but the wet tar blead sections coming back as slick as.

I lost my rear end coming back mid afternoon today in spectacular fashion after exiting a long damp sweeping left hander @ 90km/h. Was truly an arse puckering experience. Must've amused the sheep shagger 4WD tailgating me as i was trying to dodge the sheep shit & tidy it up.

Hey thanks for the heads up - there was an unfortunate accident last weekend on a group ride and we wouldn't want another one. I'll mention to everyone to take care through there.

Pleased you kept it together, well done! Must have got the heart racing I bet.

[Ratti]

Ah crap - I can't drink beer, eat anything much and cant sing... (sigh)

Ability is not a pre-requisite for karaoke, only a degree of drunkeness.

Ive just scored another part-time job and its chewing ito my headspace time, so sod the garden and home stuff, Im taking Ducky for a spin. Catch ya's at Rimutex.

[sels1]

Ride safe and enjoy folks - despite the temptation and much arm twisting from a certain relative I have the urge to push on with the house 'n' garden projects today while the weather is good. Catch yas next time.

[John_H]

Hope your ride went well. I have been laying concrete at my house making my newphews push wheel barrows. Would much rather been out on the road.

[ajturbo]

what a great blast.. great riders.. great people...

thanks for such a cool day people..!!!

hope everyone made it home safe after i left....

and watch out for mini's next time eh....

[Ratti]

And just to cap off a lovely day...

Got home to find the sealed papers from Court in my mail box! Yippee!

For those who have missed it, ive been fighting since the day after my Husbands funeral last year to keep our home. His family have supported his adult sons in having me removed from the home and forcing the sale so they can have his money. Well guess what? Do NOT fuck wiv Ratti, Im nice until you get me cornered.

Ahem, anyway. I get to keep our home, buy them out for a very small % of the value of the property. But it's doable.

Anyway, come party to celebrate wiv your ol' mate Ratti. 21st August, pm me for details.

Cheers!

[wayne708]

Yes, home, showered, and feet up in front of the fire. Good days riding folks.:niceone:

I cut down a big arse tree and got half way through the roots to remove the sump. I was shitting myself that I'd drop it on the house but - all good... Just one more to go... gleep...

If anyone is keen there is a great artist at Lembas tomorrow..

Open mike from 4pm - artist (musical) later. Not sure if we are going yet - still got half a root to dig out.... Funny - its half done yet I'm totally rooted...

A few snaps.. actually forgot to take some at the other locations.

Gees, what a great bunch you lot are ;)

but what happened???

yes. I don't know if the brakelight of the Buell was defective or just so covered in dust that it wasn't visible,
but I didn't see him brake and the distance between us reduced more rapidly than I expected. close call..

on the way back I lost focus. During cornering in an S-curve I looked in my mirror to see if Ben was still there, and the 2nd halve of the corner snuck up on me.
Got caught in the ditch and landed with the bike sideways. brake pedal got bend, some scratches and cracks in plastic pieces..

seems like I just can't keep the bike in one piece...

[Gone Burger]

Sorry to hear that Neshi - hope you made it home ok from there? Was that on the way to the Gladdy? I got worried about you two when i realised you weren't behind us anymore.

And about the mini - it nearly got us all, no exceptions there. I was just thankful to AJ for being a true gentlemen and leaving me that awesome gap to shoot through. Cheers for the kind thought mate, bloody good call!

[Neshi]

Sorry to hear that Neshi - hope you made it home ok from there? Was that on the way to the Gladdy? I got worried about you two when i realised you weren't behind us anymore.


yea, made it home ok. It was underway to gladstone, but we lost you a long time before that. Just really pissed off at myself for looking in the mirror while cornering.

Glad you're alright mate. Sounds like you guys had an interesting trip back from Castlepoint.

That was a nice ride out there. Sorry for taking off on the way back Ratti, I felt the urge :)

I finally got introduced to my reserve tank when I ran out of gas just before Palmerston North.
Had a nice look around ANZA Motorcycles, it was a beautiful sight, all those Triumphs and Harleys. I really wished I was on one of them as I had my throttle fully open just to keep up with traffic!

good to see that you learnt 3 things on the weekend...

one... NEVER look in your mirrors during a corner
two... make sure you have room to panic stop
three... always look ahead

the mini in the middle of the road not moving , should have given you a warning that i may have been slowing... oh, there is nothing wrong with the tail light.. it works.

but hey.. you have learnt important things.. well done!!!!:Punk::Punk:

and Katie.. stop spreading rumours that i am a gentleman... or i will have even more women fighting over me...

[Gone Burger]

[Ratti]

_STAIN_ has buckets and Bits Google it and you'll find it. Across the tracks from me in Naenae. Glad you are ok Mattias. Heck, i wont ask you again before a ride if you have come off recently . No point jinxing the ride eh?

Richard, Im a grown woman I dont need babysitting. Take off whenever you need to. Right now Im happy to pootle quietly along on my own.

AJ...so does this mean Ive got competition for your affections? Im gutted mate, gutted. YOu miserable slapper..we all know what happens to slappers eventually.

That few metres of slush was fun wasnt it? COuld have been embarrassing

[ajturbo]

OK you two... stop hassling me....

[Ratti]

Hassling? I like that. I'm gutted and crying into my drink :beer:and you tell me off for hassling you.

sob :weep:

[Ratti]

Bryce made an excellent point to me today...clever man that one!

If I want people to come party with me I better confirm the date....so...Saturday 21 Aug it is. pm me if you dont know the address

Feel free to bring 'old' music to go with the nana/grandad theme. Otherwise you will have to put up with my selections. If the food you want to share doesnt travel well, let me know and I can make my kitchen available during the afternoon. If you want to drop stuff off early then let me know as well and I'll get it sorted.

see you there!

I too headed out today on me own - had a lovely afternoon. Just a wee cruise over the takas for my pizza bread and drink as usual. Dry over that side - got wet on the way home and just loved it! Was a beautiful evening coming back over, just took it nice and gentle and could have kept riding actually.

Good to hear you guys got out too, it just felt good - its that simple!

[Big Col]

I managed a ride saturday, went over the takas stopped at masterton and had a ride on a hyabusa. Awsome bike. Then carried on round the block , pahiatua track and back to Waikanae, a bit damp but a good ride.

I am saying nothing, my lips are sealed. I couldn't possibly get a Boulevard as I would look like a potato on it compared to you!

[sinfull]

Must point out that it aint just a boys club lol we do have ummmm 1 lady member last count

[Cloggy]

I don't know but I am hinging my bets on a Triumph? Being a pom it would be rude if you didn't. Street Triple perhaps :blip:

[azzanuts]

Friday night karoke aye? might have to bust out some ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINK
or maybe something outta sid viscious's band. They're quite similar, old engle used to get knickers thrown at him on stage and sid used to steal them off washing lines.

[azzanuts]

My boss gave me an exelent idea today, if I still have my bike by the time the flying quarter comes round then I should enter it in. Why not I say, then I can actually show what it can do and some one may want it afterwards. I dunno why people hesitate with the deal I want for it, There's someone interested in it but he has been for over a month now. I think the guy before him was scared of the bike, he done the old "Yeah mate keen as" showed him the bike and what it could do and I never heard back since. For crying out loud it only go's as fast as you ride it....
