[johnsf1980]

About 250k's is what Ive done this weekend :ride:

[Ixion]

Bugger all for me. I had to werk Saturday and sunday, so all I got was a little tootle to Helensville and back. And commuting distance. Couple of hundred k's

And today I didn't get out at all. Changing transmission oil, oiling chains, touching up paintwork on the Pajero, lots of other maintainence stuff and WASHING THE WHALE.

I *HATE* washing bikes. I don't how some of you fellows can do it the way you do, toothbrushes even.

[Motoracer]

I went from Auckland to Wellington through the longest way via Napier and shit cause the usual roads were closed, then I went from Wellington to New Plymouth and back to Wellington on one night, then I went from Wellington to Auckland, all within 3 days.

It's not on a bike but does that still count?

[sAsLEX]

did the coro loop from the shore so that must be a fair few kays, and a hundred today out to the airport and around the place and about 10 on sat so a few

[Big Dave]

No - tell someone who cares :devil2:

[crashe]

O kms.....

[warewolf]

531km... but lots of that on gravel so it feels like 531 miles.

Down to Waitomo Sat am via the bottom of SH22 (nasty roadworks - don't go there on a roadie). Skirted Bridal Veil Falls onto Aotea Harbour. Skirted Kawhia Harbour and on down Hauturu Road. Excellent ride, wet all the way!

This afternoon, back via Hauturu, different way to Bridal Veil, then west onto the coast and followed it north to Raglan. Gave up due to sunstrike, so from there directly home, apart from doubling back to Huntly for fuel... joys of a new bike with uncertain fuel range.

Excellent familiarisation trip with the 640 Adventure. The feckin thing hoots along the gravel! Looks [nearly] as dirty as the Triumph boys got yesterday.

[SPman]

Hmmm ...Aucks to Waitara....Waitara to NP to Okato and back...back to Aucks.....about....800 odd k's, plus some of Steve and Mikes best Ale...:drinkup:

[Motoracer]

Wait till I get a road bike mate! I'll be clocking up some K's alright.

[Biff]

300+K's. Attempted a ride to Akaroa with Ms Biff on Friday. Got over halfway there fighting strong winds and stonger ice cold gusts and gave up. Decided that this was best after we stopped at Little River and Ms Biff looked like she was going to cry if she hadn;t been so cold. Not funny almost being blown into the paths of trucks around corners I guess.

The back off to Akaroa on Sunday with Aaron KDX etc. Yes, he is alive and his R1 looks like a street fighter at the moment, with the head light fairing missing. Looked really mean actually. I quite liked it.

[idb]

About 350ks into Central Otago & back, mostly dry if not fine, some fog.

[scumdog]

About 480km on the scoot going to/from the Brass Monkey - then another 400+ km in the Laserrati going to/from Riverton.

Probably not able to use the scoot for another fortnight now though :no: :weep:

[Fryin Finn]

All the way to the brass monkey and back via Lewis Pass - bloody good ride - sunny all the way back :cold:

[Riff Raff]

.003km - got the bike out the garage, washed all the grime off that it collected after it's little rest on its side on 24th April, started it, rode it back into the garage.

[XP@]

I'll join the 0km's club :(
Was too knackered after trying to start the XT with the spark plug cap off to bother wiith anything else.

[Jonty]

Only 3ks to the gas station and back - too damned miserable outside :no:

[SPman]

k - too damned miserable outside :no:
Taranaki and the waikato was fine and clear Sunday(apart from a cloud right over Mt Messenger - bugger!)

[250learna]

[Hitcher]

Didn't even get the bike uncovered. There were a couple of brief moments when something warmish and dryish on the excursion front may have been comtemplated, but those narrow windows of opportunity soon closed.

Went to The Motorcycle Diaries last night, if that counts...

[JohnBoy]

just about 300km, went to snowplanet.

had a pretty quite one considering the last 4 weekends i have been in: Taupo, Palmerston North, Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga and Auckland.

Well, the title was lifted from Alberto Granado's published diary of a trip that he and Ernesto "Che" Guevara did in 1952. Their objective was to ride down Argentina to the resort of Baraloche, cross into Chile, ride up the west coast into Peru, spend some time helping at a leper colony and eventually end up in Venezuela. Granado was a 29-year-old biochemist at the time, and Guevara at 22 was one term shy of completing a medical degree. This was to be a "road trip" before they both settled down into their respective careers, marriage, etc.

The movie combined both Granado and Guevara's diaries and the story is told more through the eyes of Guevara than his travelling mate. Hardly surprising, given the latter's fame. It is a journey that profoundly affected Guevara and set him on the path for which he is more famous.

The motorcycle only features in about the first third of Granado's book (which I've read) and the movie. It was a post-WWII Norton 500 and finally gave up the ghost after being dropped once too often in Chile. From that point our heroes took to their feet.

Granado also went on to great things in his life but not as spectacularly as Guevara.

The movie is subtitled, but don't let that put you off. It captures well the innocence of youth and subsequent coming of age of one of the 20th century's more influential and misunderstood people. The actors were well cast. The cinematography is outstanding, giving a great sense of mood and spirit of place. I recommend it highly.

[FlyingDutchMan]

About 800km. Had brand new rear tyre, and there weren't even enough corners between chch & Oturehua (Brass Monkey) to scrub them in fully. I've since managed to scrub them in and chicken strips are now only 6mm.

That sounds good, I'll make sure I see it.
You soon forget that a movie's subtitled if it's good enough.

Two of my favourite filmus of all time are subtitled, namely Jean De Florette and its sequal Manon de sources. Filums immortalised by the ongoing Stella Artois perverts - sorry adverts.

About 2500k going to the Brass via the long way (however it may not count as it was Wednesday to Monday)
