Ride Sunday 26/6/05 up North - SLOW!!!!

[FEINT]

SLOW RIDE UP NORTH via Old North Road.

*Meet: Shell Westgate - End of SH16 and turn left, it will be 300m on your left.

*Time and Date :Sunday 26/06/2005 9:00 for a 9:30 departure.


The route is up Old North Road to Kaukapakapa. From there, probably on to Warkworth or Wellsford. If I can't go up to Wellsford, some of you might want to organise a ride up to Wellsford. We'll see, I might turn off at Warkworth. I have to be back in Auckland by about 12:30. We'll stop at Kaukapakapa and decide then.

I am bringing a newbie, therefore the pace of the ride is slow. So, if you other newbies want to join, more than welcome. Faster riders, if you wish to ride faster, will let you start first and meet up in Kaukapakapa. I will be putting along .. like I always do :)

If any questions, PM me or give me a text 021-899101.

See you guys then.

Few things about the ride:

There are one way bridges on the route, remember to give way if you are required to. Road rules still apply! :D Some of them are around corners, so be careful.

It is a slow ride, so no dangerous overtaking of other riders. I don't want slow riders being overtaken in the same lane by faster riders. Give them some space when overtaking.

Those who are new to riding, don't follow the rider in front too closely. Anticipate that they have to slow down at junctions, one-way bridges etc. Read the post on group riding in the survival section. :D

hey guys

Never been on one of the ride with you lots but was wondering since im pretty new with the 600 bike... which road is sort of straight - the NORTH or the SOUTH one..

Im thinking of coming for the sunday SLOW one just to get used to riding in a group with you lots...where bout you guys meeting and what time..?

Regards

Hey all

The weather according to the Herald is meant to be "Fine" on Sunday. My partner and I might join you guys on the "Slow" ride, as this will be our first group ride, so slow is good, and my partner is worried about being left behind on her 150, so slow is good :)

We live on the North Shore, so I see the meeting place is in Westgate? Is there anywhere else we can meet you on the way, otherwise we have to ride from North to West then back North again...

v.ros' I know you live on the Shore (I think??) so maybe we could meet up and them meet up with the main group.

I'll be leaving home (glenfield) about 10:45 prob to do the same trip. I'd normally meet them on Old North rd just out of coatesville but i'd have to show you the way. Unless someone can describe it better.

Basically head through albany, jump onto the coatesville highway. Theres a couple of turns though.

Well we live in Birkenhead, so not very far from where you are... So if we can get a confirmation from Feint to meet us at Old North Road that would be sweet.

I think I have a slight idea of where your talking about... do you mean heading up through Albany Village, over Albany Hill and up there somewhere, past the gas station on the left? then turn to head towards Riverhead/Coatesville?

Weather depending of course

Yep, thats correct. Follow that along for 10 mins or so, you'll reach a roundabout in a 60km/h area, turn right, follow road for 3-5 mins and old north road will cross the road you're on. You'll be turning right onto it of course.

[v.ros`]

nope.. i dont live on the shore... im in st.lukes area (so central i guess..)

anyways.. meeting at westgate. Is this near the westgate mall coz then i know how easy it is to get there...? if no, then could you like give me the name of the road where you are supposedly to meet up...

Thanks

[v.ros`]

sorry to post again.. but is the shell westgate on HONSONVILLE ROAD ?

Regards

[ATYB]

Yep... will be there with my pathetic 250. :weird:

[FEINT]

For the north shore people. The easiest would be to meet at westgate. I suggest the route below.


EXIT "Constellation Drive".
Turn Left on to constellation drive.
Go to the end of constellation drive. Turn left on to Old Albany Highway. Take the next right at the lights on to "Upper Harbour Drive". Follow that till the end (quite a long way) and you will come to Westgate.

FART: I have to be back in Auckland at about 12:30. :D

Any more questions, send me a PM.

[placidfemme]

I'm sure your bikes not pathetic... I'll be riding a 250 as well and my partner a 150. :ride:

I'll look on the map book for Old North Road just to make sure I'm thinking of the right place... once on Old North Road, where will we meet up and what time would be best?

[steved]

Agreed with the route. I'm coming from Greenhithe and it is easiest for everyone to meet up in the one place. The Shell is near the end of the NorthWestern Motorway.

The ride North is a lot straighter (lots of 65 indicated corners) than the ride South (assuming the South ride is the Kaiaua GP?). When I went with these guys it wasn't really group riding, more like regroup riding at the numerous stops. I like this form of riding as everyone rides at exactly their own pace. The fast go ahead, and the slow feel no pressure to ride at an elevated pace. All meet back up at the agreed upon spot. Low stress for everyone. :Punk:

It wont be long now before I am back riding... :ride:

Im allowed to drive the car now WOHOOOO.

Good on you for choosing Feints ride matey..... the southern ride by Firefight is more suited for faster riders - how fast you ask?? Well how fast can your bike go?? - that fast - but a lot of those riders have a lot of experience and know what they're doing.

Well - u lazy bumble bee if you didn't rely on gossip and did some googling you'd find that Fathers day was on the 19th of June (http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&safe=off&biw=1131&q=when+is+fathers+day+&meta=)

Fathers day in NZ is September:

Fathers' Day falls on the first Sunday in September. The celebration of fathers was inspired by attending a Mothers' Day service in 1909 when Mrs John Bruce Dodd wondered why fathers' didn't have a day to pay tribute to them - hence Fathers' Day. In most parts of the Western world Fathers' Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. The date in September, in Australia and New Zealand, is a result of work by the Australian Tie Manufacturers' Association in the 1930s (don't ask me what they had to do with it!).

If that is the case, don't think the ride will be off. I'll see you all there at 9:00 ish for a 9:30 depart. :D


Just a few things about the ride tomorrow:

It is a slow ride!

There are quite a few one-way bridges on that route. So be careful when crossing them, you are required to give way on some of them. Some of them are around corners, so be careful. Be careful at junctions as well.

It is a slow ride, so no dangerous overtaking of other riders. I don't want slow riders being overtaken in the same lane by faster riders. Give them some space when overtaking.

Those who are new to riding, don't follow the rider in front too closely. Anticipate that they have to slow down at junctions, one-way bridges etc. Read the post on group riding in the survival section. :D

Well, I will see you all tomorrow.

shitabrickulot --did anyone actually do any riding--with all those pictures It looks like lotsa stoppin not much ridin. :devil2:
I must say my ride started out pretty--well to be honest shite.
I needed to work a few kinks outa the ol mind so i headed away first.
Waited till ol loosie bwucie caught up then off again.
First couple of real corners and the ol XJ set up soft for commuting had some scarey slides. -Note to self-chasing a 200? gsxr1000 on a 1983 desighned bike just aint gonna happen.
It wasn't till I turned back and did a second and third run that things clicked back into place. It was cool zipping past you lot in the opposite direction.
The ride across to albany was fun with nice open corners and non slippery roads.
It was as usual a pleasure to catch up with you lot I'm sorry if I wasn't being a social rider today
Thanks FEIGHT :Punk: for organising things for us

[Fart]

Great ride, great weather, great bunch of guys and great photos. :clap: :clap: :Punk:

[loosebruce]

Good to catch up with a lot of ya, Zed, Feint etc and meet new faces to the circus.
Still really getting to terms with the GSXR, it's a mint bike all round and i can't really fault it, part from the fact i'm still stuck with a stock muffler :oi-grr: needs a little tweaking suspension wise and it'll be the bizzo alright.
2nd time north for me and quite enjoyed it, i normally head for the Coromandel, even thou i live out west :weird:
Once the roads were dry, it was nice for a change to take on a more lesiurely pace and turn it up when i felt like it, a slight misjudgement by me had me thinking i was going to run outta gas, so i backed off for a while, filled up then took the wrong turn and led a few astray, my humble apoligies to you lot, we still found our way in the end.

Anyhow now it's off to work, get shit sorted and rock on home to watch the motogp tonight and then after that watch both SBK races and the Supersport as well as MotoX World champs highlights, then no doubt fail to goto bed and head straight for work in the morning, gonna be a long day tomorrow.

Cheers for the company all and see you all again real soon :Punk:

The weather was great, and it was a great first ride for me although i didn't get to take my fzr250 :( but it was still great with the cb400 :D Thanks to feint for organising the ride and here are some photo's from today.

who had the yellow gsx-r 1,000 and the rossi replica 600? what are their usernames? NICE bikes! and nice 636's.

I don't know their usernames. It was nice meeting them though.

What happened to the others that were suppose to join us?

anyways, it was a good ride anyways.!

MOTO GP Tonight!! 11:45 on Channel 5!!!

[2_SL0]

Feint, is that a new muffler I see. how does it sound?

[SuperDave]

Awesome ride had a great fun along those twisty roads! Thanks Feint for organising it :yes: I'm gonna give the little beast a nice clean now and then fit my ultra cool lights! :D

[steved]

What happened to the others that were suppose to join us?
I've got a great excuse. My car was locked up by Tournament Parking last night and towed this morning. I didn't get home until 11:00am (with a lighter wallet :mad:). Went for a blat out to Kaukapakapa anyway and felt better about things.
It is nice riding with a group. Next weekend Feint?

[bugjuice]

Feint, is that a new muffler I see. how does it sound?
sounds fuckin awesome. I thought the 636s were too quiet. This fixes that. It's not a stupidly loud sound, it's a nice 'race bike' sound of grunt.. sounds nicer than my bike!!
Every 05 636 rider needs one of these cans.. Nice one Feint :Punk:

[Zed]

Feint, is that a new muffler I see. how does it sound?Sounds great, but it is a Yoshi remember! Feint let me start his 636 and rev it up in front of the group at Kaukop...there were a few ooo's and aaah's. Excellent delivery time from the States too - a mere 5 days! :Punk:

[Waylander]

Nice pics.:Punk: Looks like y'all had a great ride and no one wrecked?


Frosty, somehow I always pictured you as looking older... go figure.
Edit: Duh could have just looked in your profile.:weird:

[Zed]

The weather was just too good to miss this ride today so I promptly jumped out of bed this morning and straight onto the bike to meet the crew at Westgate. Was encouraging to see a good number turn up, about 15+ bikes I think?

I felt that everyone rode at 'their own pace' to Wellsford for brunch, with several short stops on the way to re-group at Kaukapakapa and the Kaipara Lookout. After spending about 30 mins eating and chatting we headed back to Auckland the same way we came up. Was good to get home safe & sound by 12.30 pm for an important engagement. :yes:

Highlights:
Blue skiies and dry roads!
Madguitarist on his flash new red Daytona!
Loosebruce on his new Gixxer wheelie machine. :shit: Good catching up with you again Bruce.
Mr Cycletreads on his mighty fast ZX-12R. That reflective shark helmet was cool!

I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, and thanks to Feint for the organisation today, keep up the good work mate! :niceone:

[Keystone19]

Thanks for the ride today and for making a newbie feel welcome! :yes: Really enjoyed it and it was great to put faces to names!

[WINJA]

WTF
They have a slow mode!
YUP , LEAVE THEM IN FIRST AND THEY ONLY DO 160 KMH

[MacD]

Thanks to Crashe for turning up to see us off! MacD, pity you were only running on 3 cylinders.



The curse of the damp RF struck again. Lost cylinder 2 which runs off the lower output from the right-hand side coil. Usually it clears up once the engine is warm, but not this time. :(

Pulled the tank off, cleaned and dried the coils and associated leads and sure enough #2 fired up again.

I've decided the problem is that there is foam on the inside of the frame, and the coil rests against it. If the foam gets damp/wet then water runs onto the coil, the lowest point of which is where the lead to #2 comes out, shorting it out. The plug chambers were clean and dry.

Took the bike for a test ride up HW16 anyhow this afternoon. Nice weather but it got a bit chilly on the way back!

[v.ros`]

Feint: Thanx for organising the ride. It was an amazing one and since it was my first - guess its the best one i ever had :)

MagicMarker: cbr600 was mine. Which bike was you in...?

LooseBruce: mate... those were some amazing wheelies man.....Respekt !! (you gotta teach me how to do those....)

Everyone else: thanx for the great ride....the ride wasnt THAT slow... i mean it was like everyone was going at their own pace... some were mighty fast..

Can someone tell me who was the one in the fxr150... damn that guy literally was raping his machine... nice riding mate. didnt know the 150 could go that much...

Cheers

*Puts hand up* Thanks mate, I ride it like I stole it ;)

[bugjuice]

LooseBruce: mate... those were some amazing wheelies man.....Respekt !! (you gotta teach me how to do those....)
he is a bit good, ay? I was behind as he was backing off.. strange, me thought. Then the front went up and off we went. Touched down at a fair pace. All legal, might I ad *cough*..

anyway, if you want to 'play' one fine day, then I don't mind going out for a little one, and I'll show you my lame attempts, but it's a start. for a 6 hundy anyway. LB, Death, DSS3, WT and a few others are the kings of monoplay (huh, cool..), and might one day get us really going. I want to do a 'closed' session so I can record what I do and see how I'm doing. We should arrange that some time, with tuition etc..

[SuperDave]

Loosebruce! Holy shit, passing me on one wheel whilst I was topping out at 156kph :rofl:

[Zed]

Thanks for the ride today and for making a newbie feel welcome! :yes: Really enjoyed it and it was great to put faces to names!Nice meeting you 2 Keystone, hey you were doing really well for a gurl who's only been riding a very short time! Nice lil' bike you got there too!!

Thanks for a great day Feint. Awesome weather and not bad company...

Was a strange day as I felt off my riding and apprehensive for some stoopid reason....but seemed a waste not to get out there. Was happy to be tail end charlie yet again :ride:

[Two Smoker]

Yes crashe im riding a TL1000S and yes crashe im booking my full licence this week...

Sorry guys i couldnt make it, was still at Palmerston north after MR, KK and 6chris6 decided to hit the town...

Glad everyone had a great time :niceone: If you like wheelies (yes bruce is FARKEN awesome at them) wait till you see Death :yes:

*Puts hand up* Thanks mate, I ride it like I stole it ;)

I always thought you stole it. :nono: :motu:


Feint, is that a new muffler I see. how does it sound?
Reply With Quote

I can't actually hear it when I am riding. The bike is louder but it isn't excessively loud. Some of the others have said it sounds quite low? It isn't VERY VERY loud. The Akrapovic is another choice, but decided the Yoshi was nicer. :D


Looks like y'all had a great ride and no one wrecked? Nope, nobody!! thank goodness.

[R6_kid]

cheers guys for a mean day!!! SH1 wasnt so bad but a few too many cagers to be immensely fun, however i felt amazingly confident after giving that last stretch from kaukapakapa to wellsford a good push (love the last bit of 45km recomended down hill twisties - my speedo was dead so not sure how fast i was taking them at)

Super_dave - my apprentice neon *bling* biker, awesome riding man!!!
Keystone19 - my lady, awesome lines (on the road i mean) :whistle:

My two highlights were seeing Frosty doing 200 and something in the opposite direction, meant a passing speed of like 400kmh - now that was fucking buzzy!!! all i heard was **whoomhp**

Also watching bruces wheelies, or just having him pass at me at light speed.

So wanting my full licence and a 636.

justsomeguy - you had me worried for a bit their man, try and stay on the left hand side of the road, specially on those blind corners, was crackup watching you stand up over every single crest, i honestly thought u were trying to pull wheelies :rofl:

good stuff guys :Punk: :2thumbsup

[loosebruce]

Yea the slow mode on the gixxer had a slight malfunction today, will have it fixed next time i hope.

[loosebruce]

Loosebruce! Holy shit, passing me on one wheel whilst I was topping out at 156kph :rofl:

Sorry mate - always ride like that - and I usually stand up to see over things I can't see sitting down:yes: ......that includes crests and roofs of cages with blocked windows.....

A bit :weird: upstairs.....

I need a faster bike - stupid ZZR just looses it on uphill varying speed corners ... and I feel my gears are too tall....
......and I hate changing gears while on full throttle mid-corner

Naaah :bs: just need to learn how to ride better........

Got around a month before I qualify for my restricted:Punk: ......then I can go faster than 70kmph......can't wait:spudbooge

[SixPackBack]

yellow/black gixxer thou's username is sixpackback ......cool day good to meet you all

[placidfemme]

Hey guys,

Looks like you all had a great ride. Sorry my partner and I couldn't make it...

During Saturdays wonderful weather some cager took it upon herself to ruin our weekend and attepmt to drive right over my partner at a give way.

My partner is ok, a sore and bruised ankle... as for the FXR, it's in the shop (accident happened on K Road), I'm not sure what damage has been done to the bike, when I first spoke to my partner she said the bike was "munted" but she managed to start it up, stuck in 2nd gear and ride it to Red Baron... so I'm hoping it'll be ok and cost too much to fix.

Anyway... once the bike is up and running hopefully we'll be able to make one of the "slow" rides.

Ah shit thats no good :( cars failing to stop always sucks... Hope she has a speedy recovery, and the bike too (maybe it will be a write off to get that ZXR???)

[placidfemme]

Thanks Two Smoker, Sam is doing good, she should be fine to ride again when the bike is fixed. Just waiting for 9am so I can call Red Baron and enquire about the bike... The cager said she'd pay for all the damage (lol I bet she doesn't know how much bikes can cost when it comes to repairs... I'm assuming at the least the back farings, rear light and rear indicators will need to be replaced, it might cost more if there is any damage to the engine as it was stuck in 2nd gear, and there could also be damage to the rear wheel and suspension given the collision point...).

The ZXR we were looking at buying had previous accident damage, so we were bike shopping again anyway... Sam (my partner) is now looking at those ZXR at Red Baron with the purple on them... :)

thanks again :)

[v.ros`]

Superdave: may i ask how long you been riding and if u on your full...?
Gotta say, seems you will be following the footsteps of Loosebruce mate..by the way u were pushing that poor machine.

Well back to work so hopefully c u guys at some other ride someday...


- Regards

[Lou Girardin]

Shame I couldn't make it, 9.30 Sunday is a tad early for me. especially after a few wines on Sat night. We were heading north up 16 when some of you were returning. I don't don't know if it was a KB'er, but the guy on the white sports bike that overtook a truck north of Tauhoa should really look to see if the way is clear first, he nearly took out Pixie.

[R6_kid]

dont think that was one of us... i dont remember a white bike. Still not good to hear. Might see you next time lou?

[Fart]

That would have to be a chap by the name of Sixpackback! See I pay attention :Punk:

Ask him how he got his name "Sixpackback". You wont believe it when he tells you the story.

You can pretend its a 400 if that'll make you happier ;)

Good ride guys, got my tyres scrubbed in nicely.

Come on Sixpacker.... tell the lads how you got that name...
Even start a new thread about it...

The lads will really love the story...........

[v.ros`]

Now i am really keen on hearing how he got his name...

atleast PM me if its not worth posting here... :)

[SixPackBack]

ok ok, i lived in queensland for quite some time and one of my work mates was going thru a messy divorce. he bitched and moaned about the lack of sex so much i started teasing him about my wife, who at the time would have had someone hanging out of her 24/7. Hence the name sixpackback, the muscles developed when shagging to much.

[bugjuice]

someone hanging out of her 24/7?
not sure if that's funny or disturbing...

jury out....

comes back funny.. :niceone:
