Wellington Wednesday Night Cruisy Summer Rides (TCWNR) 2010-2011

[Gone Burger]

Great ride last night. Excellent turn out as always. I personally had the best run over the hill that I have in a long time. Perhaps 7 days of riding in the South Island got me into the swing of things but pegs were scraping and I stuck with it. Had a great time! Thanks all for another good night - looking forward to next week already :)

yep - head his way - its farken freezing in the Rapa. Just rode up to Masterton for new brake pads and now i turned to ice

[spacemonkey]

Lil bit cool coming over the top and 400m either side of the summit was a touch damp but otherwise a great ride with awesome company. :yes:

Was thinking I should have taken a side trip out to the wineborough.... Next time if you don't show up ice queen I'll come hunting for ya. :Police:

[Darryn]

Boy you guys that turned around at the top missed out on free wedges and chips and there was even no double dipping in the sauces going on

Was nice to find a dry road just after the summit and also had a good laugh at the pub with the waterproof crowd or are they the new dinner club (you guys know who you are) :drinknsin

[spacemonkey]

Bah quiet in the cheap seats..... Oh wait you were too cheap for seats.

I admire the creativity mate, but what happened to those welds!!

[Gone Burger]

Enjoyed the ride.. took me a wee while to warm up though. Yes... good laughs at the pub you funny buggas! It was a few degrees warmer on the otherside of the summit and dry roads. Twas lovely.

I went to visit a mate on my way home that lives in Featherston. Coming back off a side street to the main road, there was a pile of peagravel right at the give way point of the road. Was only in first gear and didn't see it 'til I was on it. A very large load of gravel and quite deep too. Had to break to stop for intersection, as per normal, my bike went out from underneith me and there was just too much gravel to get any traction, and no road ahead to run out to. I came out of it upright, but was staionery on a good lean. Tried with all my might to pull her back up but FAIL. Bike landed on me, in an intersection, and my leg took the full weight of the bike.

Raaaaaaa - couldn't be more ready to get ride of this bike now, desperate for something lighter. A car load of kind men stopped and helped me to get back upright and on my way.

Damage: broken indicator, new scratches, bent gear shifter, confindence dented. All pretty minor, but it was a slow speed off.

Ba-hum-bug. That road was a mess and will be writing to the local council to report it. :(

I'm fine, sore leg though. But the bike is important as I really want to sell it, especially now. So, will get the repairs done and on trade me she goes. May be without a bike for a few months, but it won't be for long.

Oh Crap Sweet Pea - thats a bummer, and I know about the confidence thing. Mine still badly dented from my minor mishap. Def time for you to upgrade to a real bike. Hope your leg not too sore, prob a good thing you doing quiet stuff at home this weekend. See yah soon. xx

[Bald Eagle]

Bugger - glad to hear it was low speed and no major damage to you or that lovely bike.

[davebullet]

I've dropped 2 bikes. One on gravel and luckliy it was a 250 so I used my body as a cushion (and no injuries). The 2nd was the SV650 at the cold kiwi - that was on dirt but had frame sliders fitted so they took it - again no damage.

That's why I have frame sliders on the Speed Triple. I highly recommend them if you can find some to fit your bike. If I have a high speed off, they'll probably do more damage than without, as if they catch on anything, they'll break the frame mounts = bike written off. However a low speed over or wind gust fall over - will save a bit of the damage.

Yep - have just listed her on trade me, and repairs will be done next week.

[nomnomnom]

So where do you guys normally ride to? Id be keen to come out for a Wednesday night cruise depending how far you go?

- Good to hear your OK Katiepie!!!

Usually its just meet at the Avalon duck pond to the Royal at Featherston for a feed and a pint then make your own way from there.

Would just like to point out that my eventful night was on my own, well after the ride finished and not from stupidity, but circumstances that were at the time beyond my control. Nothing to do with the ride - the ride was bloody lovely, and a very gentle cruise.

Sorry to hear of this new riders experience. Would have been very happy to meet someone new and ride with them. :(

Boy do you write kids books for a living with a imagination like that

Lession 1. The only knob I know of is myself
Lession 2. Whats a highside? and do all bikes have them
Lession 3. Is a R1 a Yamaha or a measurement of IQ
Lession 4. Your were a sucker for agreeing to unzip my vent zips and I didnt even ask you. I was bloody cold all ride!
Lession 5. Shit stirrers are found in any mixture
Lession 6. I've never dropped a Daytona 675 but look forward to giving it a go next ride if you bring yours

Bring it on and hold onto your earplugs it could get loud :yes:

Hay its all in fun plus Ive only had one beer :2thumbsup

You can have a go on the 675 if you take the mohawk off. People might think it's me.

I'd prefer it if you didn't drop it.

[MOTOMART_PROMOTIONS]

Hope you all can make it to our Christmas ride on the 12th of December! The more the merrier and from what I have read in this thread you all sound like a merry bunch.

Kate...sorry to hear about your off
Dont go blaming the bike, shit happens, had it been a lighter bike you may have highsided it, you just dont know, maybe the big beastie just let you down gently.:)
Hope the leg comes right soon.

That was a most entertaining party Trashie - I just feel very sorry for the poor girl whose boyfriend kept tazering her. Funny enough - they didn't seem to be together by the end of the night.

Can only imagine what Drew got up to.. poor dog

He got a steel clutch plate from a ZX6R, that had been heated on the BBQ for about 45 minutes, branded on his left arse cheek. It is particularly unpretty and blisterey looking, however that could just be a bit of the mange. Ask him to show ya on Thursday, it's well entertaining.

You probably didn't realize it but you can feel priviledged to have actually spent an evening in the company of the infamous Mikey, one of the first people ever banned proper like from KB. And him and Briar were still together at the end of that night, it's what went on a couple of months later that nailed the lid firmly onto that coffin......

was a bit worried as my engine light came on riding home from work yesterday but then the engine light turned off this morning, so think its just a old fault notice from disconnecting the air intake sensor and CO2 sensor...

Hey Eugene, time you gave us a brief from Perth...

[Cloggy]

Damn, got all hopeful this morning when the shop rang me to tell me my bike would be ready this afternoon. Then hope started to fade as the phone stayed quiet. At quarter past five the call came it wouldn't be ready until the morning.
Bugger. No ride for me tonight. :bye:

[Drogen Omen]

almost had an off on the way back, front wheel went out on some gravel, managed to bounce back by kicking off with my foot, ended up on wrong side of the road.

thankfully there wasn't any cars coming... scary as hell 2up so took it extra slow after that...

hope every one else made it home without any incidents...

what was going on at the bottom of the hill? group of ya gathered on side of the road...

[carbonhed]

Darryn said there was a mufti cop at the top of the hill on the way home. Boy you could come a serious gutser overtaking one of those :facepalm: Hadn't really considered the possibilty.

[Darryn]

Yep came across the mufti car just past the summit on the way home.
Blue Holden with the aerial in the middle of the boot. The red and blues hidden in the back window. I hit the picks but was amazed 3 other bikes went flying past him without him doing anything. Followed him for a bit then thought better of it and pulled over (my nerves can only take so much) :shutup:
I can only think that it must have been a detectives car as was in plain clothes and showed no interest where he had plenty of opportunities
Great ride anyhow :drinknsin

Normally stop there for everyone to group back up again, let the fast ones go ahead and the slower ones catch up, after all it is a ride together, sort of, hahaha

Everyone pretty much rides at their own pace, on the mtrway we all ride in a group, on the hill it gets split up a liddle so a regroup is a good thing.....

hope the slip didnt scare you, sounds like you handled it well

Yep, had problems with the battery not being charged. There is no warning of this not happening on the 675's, not even a warning light. It died on the motorway during the SPCA run. All in all this took nearly two weeks to get fixed. All good now though, they fitted a fancy new regulator thingie. Getting a little plug in box from Ecliptech in aussie which will give me warning of the battery being over or under charged via the alarm led on the dashboard. Also got some new rubber today so we're all set for the upcoming holidays. :scooter:

I put some sulphate of ammonia on the big lawn here when it started raining a week ago and haven't been able to get the mowers on it since. It's now very green and very long :laugh:

Hey, were you riding down Willis St. approx 8am this morning? Gave you the nod as you went past (I was the clueless looking fashion disaster in an orange fluoro vest standing next to the bikes between manners and dixon on Willis). Whoever it was - the Buell sounded great.

[ecko_nzed]

so what are we thinking people?

A. Far too much xmas shopping and wind to ride
B. Stuff the weather, go for a wee pootle and fine somewhere near for a lager

So what's it like down there? On the Coast it's cloudy, windy, but not actually raining and the roads look dry... perfect :scooter:

I joined too. Leaving Mana BP at 8.30am and then leaving Bulls at 10.30am. This plan seems to be based on arriving late at the circuit as past events have started late. This doesn't make any sense to me; so I may leave 30 minutes earlier with a cunning plan to be at the circuit by the official start time of 11.00am.

Just a brief few hours to get checked over as I couldn't stop vomiting, an injection and copious anti nausea pills and we were on our way. Unfortunately we didn't really have a christmas as we ALL got sick with Gastroenteritis, but no biggie as my daughter is only 14months so she really didn't know.

Have a lovely ride - see you all next year. Heading back up North tomorrow if anyone wants to join me for a few hours riding.

They did some initial costings back in 2008 and it was in the order of $800 million for a full tunnel solution so it's cheaper to take some of the kinks out of the road.

Pretty bloody cheap compared to Sandhills/transmission gully highway or the Orewa holiday highway.

And taking out 3 corners on the Taka's at a cost of 10's of millions is not even close to a partial solution for that road period! :facepalm:

Why don't we follow the same idea as the Eurotunnel and run a train back and forth which takes cars, trucks and campers through the train tunnel?
Drive you car onto the train, remain seated in the car, 15 minutes later you're on the other side and drive off.
Leaves the hill for motorcycles only :yes:

mmmm... was thinking of a wee ride myself - but my dogs escaped today when i left the property - it seems I haven't done a good enough job with the fencing, so will need to stay here and keep going. When I leave, they try to follow. Oh its nice to be so loved.

[Cloggy]

my dogs escaped today when i left the property - it seems I haven't done a good enough job with the fencing
They can be cunning little buggars eh.
Our youngest dog has learned he can climb a 1.5 mtr gate (he could jump it too if he really wanted too, he nearly clears the 1.8 mtr fence between us and the neighbours to get to their dog). So I had to put a backwards overhang on the gate so he can't climb up it.
The oldest dog leans with all her weight on fences to see if she can force a hole big enough to escape from.

But am I riding this weekend? Not sure yet. Might go to the 4x4 trials in Whitemans Valley tomorrow.

Nice to have the cage option :sunny: I managed to get home before the wall of water fell, wasn't looking forward to riding in the damp gear today. Nice to be dry :woohoo: Had to wash the salt off my visor when I got to work this morning.
