I'll be at BK this morning and see who turns up, fancy a little pottle to Little River. Anyone else keen??

[Autech]

POOOOOS!

With a big grin on my face, I slipped into my leathers this morning, slipped on my helmet and slipped my leg over the Hyosung. As I rode along with big grin spread wide, I went to slip the bike down a gear at the lights. It wasn't to be. Slutting front sprocket nut had decided to SLIP off, consequently causing said sprocket to slip off. As I pushed her off the road with the smile SLIPPING off my face, wondering if the gear box had shit itself etc etc. So anyway long story short I had to walk home (bout 30mins) get my work van, drive out there do some quick road side repairs and take her home. Next weekend I shall join you!

[KiwiPhoenix]

Bugger Autech! Hope you get it all sorted!

It was a great day. 3 of us turned up (plus Beamer89 Mrs) and we tottled off to Little River. Fantastic day. Took the 750 for a spin and he was lovely!

Saw quite alot of bikes on the road, some of them were :drool: :love:

Saw 1 police car and we were following them. I tell you there is no way they were doing 100 :blink::shit::facepalm:

[BEAMER89]

Was also good to catch up with Leon, What a awesome paint job you've done on that bike:rockon: looks like a newer bike man:yes:
Cheers Graham

After you turned off, they zipped away. I didn't catch up with them till Tai Tapu, and believe me I wasn't going that slow!

[Peeteey]

Hey bro, glad to hear you're all good again. If anyone went for a ride today, let me know how the snow was :D

[KiwiPhoenix]

I don't know who was more excited to see some snow flurries out here, MinxiMe or Me! :blink: :rofl:

Nice job there! Yeah, pretty heavy out by me as well.

[leopardskin]

Forcast looks good for Sunday - anyone up for a ride up to the Greta Valley maybe?

[neels]

Could be keen for a ride tomorrow (oops, today).

Post if there's a ride going somewhere, the ducati needs to stretch it's legs.

I'm up and waiting for the frost to melt and the sun to shine. Will keep watching. I'd be happy to meet at the peg at 11.00 for a ride to greata via scargill. Any one else??

[Freespaceage]

I'm keen,we have Ice Hockey practice this morning, if it finishes on tine I'll definitely be there - looks like it's going to be a great day for a ride.

[leopardskin]

[Retroqueen]

Oh you are up :yes::yes: c u there

[Freespaceage]

Shall we meet at BK at 11:00 for 11:30 as usual then out to Belfast/Greta? Why are we changing start-up points?

[leopardskin]

because we are free thinking individuals, also, BK is great start-up points for heading over the hill - the Peg is great start-up point for heading north.

[gloplg]

Hey you "free thinking individuals" I am envious and I hope you had a good ride today!!!!!!!

[Retroqueen]

Hey you "free thinking individuals" I am envious and I hope you had a good ride today!!!!!!!

Was an awesome ride thanks. Not as much grit as we thought there might be and the sun shone beautifully the whole time. Four of us rode and one caught up with us at the Greta. Excellent way to spend a Sunday. A nice wee nana nap in the sunshine when I got home just to thaw the toes out. :yes::yes:

Thankyou WK!!! I appreciate your offer. Luckily it is all minor stuff, mostly from February. Indicators, mirror, small paint damage, a scrape on the fairing etc. A matter of getting spares and repainting.

Travel safely and I will see you soon.

[SpeedMonger]

Hi again Mr Net. Good to see you are out again also. What are you riding?????
Almost exactly the same, just a different pipe ;-)

[Freespaceage]

I suppose this Sunday's ride is off, unless of course someone can supply snow chains for my bike :laugh:

[Desert Eagle]

The worst thing is that I only just got the restricted licence... <_<

[willytheekid]

Well...
I see no snow...feel no snow...and expect no snow today.....so I'm off for a ride :wings:

heading north to waikari then to greta for lunch...snow chains permitting :laugh:

[willytheekid]

WELL!!

Ive seen it...felt it....and now back from the ride (glad I cut that one short!)

Thought I could fit a quick ride in before it hit tonight....but the guy at the gas station advised me other customers had come from the south and the snow was already there.

Have a great white sunday night monday folks :love:

[FJRider]

It's been here off and on all day ... motor racing on tv ... :laugh:

[SpeedMonger]

So, anyone up for a ride tomorrow? Weather is supposed to hold....

[leopardskin]

how about Akaroa? leaving BK at 11.30 - by that time the frost should be melted

[Gareth123]

So is it BK at 1130?

[cruza]

So, anyone up for a ride tomorrow? Weather is supposed to hold....

I'll be up for a blat to aka.....kids off to chipmunks for couple of hours, perfect excuse:shifty:

[Retroqueen]

See you there...:wings::wings:

Me too, see you all at BK.

[Gareth123]

Sorry guys, after turning up late and needing gas I had to stop at Tai Tapu, I was watching the kms go by and knew I wouldn't make it to Little River. Didn't have a snowballs chance in hell of catching you up after that. Didn't have much chance keeping up either come to think about it.

Hope you all had a good ride.

[CeeJay]

Well we waited for you at Lil' River for 3 hours :msn-wink:. Then we figured that you'de followed the guy on the F450 back over Gebbies. Still, not a bad turnout and grit not too bad up & around hilltop. Nice lunch in Aka followed by lemonade at Taitap.

[Freespaceage]

Anyone keen for a ride this Sunday - the sun is shining, weather is great, it's perfect for riding?

[schrodingers cat]

Yeah - anyone riding today? Its been a while for me and after a week in the bush I'm ready for a bit of a blow out

[KiwiPhoenix]

Won't be along, down in Alexandra at the mo, Have a great ride folks!

[Transalper]

I find myself at home alone today so I would have been keen if the bike had been Registered and WOFed, only two weeks to go.
This close to being legit, tempted though I was, I didn't want to go out on the seal and risk a ticket that would mean I had to spend my Rego budget on a fine thus prevent me from having the cash for actually getting the Reg in a couple of weeks.
The plus side is that the wait will make the next ride so much sweeter. :Punk:

HMMMM....Tis very tempting!

Could be keen mate.....the road to Akaroa is pritty good at the mo<(mate went on sunday & reckons its in good nik for this time of year.....but there IS still some ice grit in some unsavoury places)
Will check with my better half & see if me an PhatGirl can come out to play :laugh:

....I hope your bringing that loverly wee guzzi Gloplg :yes: (she deserves a nice sunday run with "relatives" lol)

[KiwiPhoenix]

Do be careful there is still grit around the hilltop and taken the wrong way could result in a slip.

I'm out as the bike isn't rego'd, will have to get it organised!

[CeeJay]

Rode to Aka Sunday early morn with Mully, Stilo & a couple of others, came back via Gebbies & Dyers. Here is the situation: Aka road is fine all the way. Just take it easy within about 1 km either side of Hilltop as there's mild grit either side of car tyre tracks and between them. Gebbies is pretty good too - just wish they would sweep the new sealed bit on the hairpin properly. Take care on Dyers as it appears not to have been swept at all. I guess when you are only paying ~600 a year for rego, you can't expect the authorities to do anything to make it safer for bikers. <_<:no:

Thanks for the heads up CJ.

I rode Dyers to Gebbies and back round the bays to port this afternoon. There was some grit on the roads, enough to make life interesting:shit::shit: on some corners. Hopefully we won't get any more snow, so the grit will dissappear with time.

Enjoyed the ride though.:yes::yes::2thumbsup:2thumbsup Been off the bike too long.

[Gareth123]

Thursday's weather is supposed to bring snow to lower levels. Friday will have sleety showers.

Sundays weather is supposed to be fine if a little chilly.

I could be tempted into a ride this weekend. Depends on my financial situation though. I'm already spending money I haven't been paid yet. Still one must eat :confused:

[gloplg]

Damn!!!!:mad::angry2: Work!!! The curse of the motorcycling class. Sorry folks I'm rostered on this Sunday. ....... BUGGER. ....... Looks like another lonely ride during the week:(:(

How did the ride today go????????

[CeeJay]

Awesome. 6 bikes (2 MT-01s, 1 Busa, 1 B-King, 1 GSXR 1000 & a brand spanking new XTZ 1200 Tenere). Fantastic conditions, nice lunch & amazingly, all the way there & back without a fuzz in sight. :woohoo::shutup:

[leopardskin]

hmmmm wonder who's got the new Tenere???

[helenoftroy]

So envious of you people who have bikes to ride !:crybaby:

Tuono is due to have EQ repairs completed this week - fingers crossed.Would love to catch up with you guys in Kaikoura next time you head that way.........:yes:

[mulletman]

[Guzzi-chick]

I will keep an eye out for when you do another Kaikoura ride, I ride up to work in Blenheim from Greta Vlly most sunday's, would be good to ride with a few others.

[CeeJay]

If only I had known... it would have been great to catch up. The ride was organized Sat afternoon via the usual mates Txt network. If you want to be informed of other spontaneous adventures, pm me with your bat phone number. :soon:

[SpeedMonger]

Anything happening tomorrow?

[Transalper]

Great weather today so I was out today doing a bit of 2up gravel out past Little River etc.
There's already lots of lake flys out that way waiting to be collected by nice shiny fairings and the weather is supposed to be even better tomorrow but alas most my fuel is burned.

[gloplg]

Hmmmmmmmmm. ......... Not working today. ............. Might head into BK and see if anyone turns up :scooter::scooter::scooter::scooter:

[Freespaceage]

What a nice day for a ride - unfortunately sold my bike yesterday :cry: and now I'm bikerless, but...............walked into Rolling Thunder yesterday and saw this amazing 1200 Nighster, I think I may just buy it! :yes:

Well the weather is perfect and I can state that there are only 14 lake flies left. The other 18 million committed Hare Kare on my bike and visor yesterday. :yes: For all those contemplating a squirt - there was a fuzz on a BMW cruising the Aka road Saturday and reportedly he pulled a couple of bikers. I've seen him a few times now in that general vicinity. Take it easy.

[SpeedMonger]

So what's happening about the WNR this season? Thought the thread would be up and running by now, not far...too..go...

Not that I am offering of course, all criticism and no responsibility here :yes:

Cool, bit of a change from the 250! Try a few bikes out though, bike shopping is the best part :scooter:

[Freespaceage]

Shopping for a new bike is definitely fun. Have decided to go for a cruiser. Rode the Kwaka Vulcan 900 (maybe go for a Vulcan Custom 900 - looks great), M50 and M90 and then passed by the Harley shop. Took a 1200 Nightster for a ride - I think I'm in love :gob: - never thought I'd like a Harley but the Nightster is one fun bike to ride.

I'm still in two minds though................

You're very lucky to be able to be in that situation! I think that once I took a Harley for a ride, providing it was the right one and a Nightster would definitely qualify, I too think I'd be in love.
I'll have one one day! :yes: Either something modern like that one or a classic chopper, something with unique character. If you remember my BMW you'll know what I mean :lol:

Good luck with the hunt! Am very jealous!

I can highly recommend the M50, have ridden one myself and know someone that may be selling theirs! Very nice ride and lots of power when needed!

[Freespaceage]

I could not resist - I bought the Nightster (second hand though, 2008 model with only 3 000 km's on the clock). Fetching the bike on Saturday..............can't wait.

Anyone planning anything for tomorrow? Seems like the weather may be smiling on us...

(also, if it's just a "turn up" job, where now - BK @ 11 or otherwise?)

Yes I agree!!!!!!

Tried to change the name of this thread but was unsuccessful. I think the choice is to either create a new thread or continue using this one.

If someone wants to create a Weekend/ Saturday/ Sunday thread then please go for it.:2thumbsup:2thumbsup

[maxf]

So any ideas for tomorrow? Weather guesses look good ...

[KiwiPhoenix]

I'm out due to a knee injury. Not sure when I'll be riding again!

Just a heads up, Greymouth Street races is on next Sunday 23rd Oct. f few of us will be going through, it's a great day!

[Gareth123]

I'm out for tomorrow too. I've got a stag party tonight so I won't be in a fit state to go anywhere tomorrow:drinkup::drinknsin

[SpeedMonger]

Did anyone get out for a ride today? Was miserably cold and overcast here till midday, so went for a wee blat down and back the scenic highway thru loburn later in the afternoon when the sun came out, the road is in good nick and the humps are always fun :innocent:

If I knew you were heading that way I'd have invited you round for a few beers and some whitebait patties.

PM me next time.

That goes for anyone riding through Rangiora. Let me know. I might not have any whitebait but I can definitely put on a couple of cold ones.

A very generous offer thank you, there must be a quite a few North Canterbury kb'ers around these days, hope you have a well stocked fridge!.
