Sunday 10th Akl ride

[bugjuice]

Just to clarify.

Slow/medium pace ride - suitable for slow riders.

Ride down through Whitford, Maraetai, Kawakawa Bay then on to Kaiaua (Fish & Chips !!!) then ride back after.

Meeting place:

-BP on Chapel Rd (next to K-Mart) Its on the correct side of the road to go straight through to the Whitford rd roundabout. Instead of turning right at the lights for the Pak'n'Save carpark, go straight - 2nd set of lights go left.
-10:00 meeting depart 10:30. DON'T BE LATE.
-10th july 2005 Sunday!

You can see Botany shopping centre on your right hand side. As the road splits, bear left and that is "Chapel Road". Look for the BP, should be about 500m on the left.

If anything, PM me or contact me on 021-234 7744.

sweet as man :niceone:


for what it's worth, I have a spare pillion seat goin..

[chickenfunkstar]

I could be keen, if I can get my rear tyre sorted out by then.
I've barely ridden for nearly a month!

[placidfemme]

sweet as man :niceone:


for what it's worth, I have a spare pillion seat goin..

If Sam's keen would you mind her taking up the space on your pillion seat? She's a little person, only about 5'3 and weighs in at less than 50kg... I don't think you'd even notice she's there :)

[N4CR]

Ohhh goody! Went on this ride with danb and another non-kb'r last weekend and the weekend before that.. keen :D

Just gotta find my way through the concrete jungle of the urban botany shithouse. (I hate that place with a passion) :oi-grr:

[v.ros`]

man botany is awesome... really love the roads there - wide and new.........

esp the Te Iritangi (sp??) road...i wish i was saying there.

well c u at the ride then..

*Prays to God for gooood weather...

yeah, no worries. The more weight I can put on the back, the easier the front wheel comes up ;)
pt

pm me when you've figured out what's happenin, and we'll sort out about how to meet up before hand.
I managed to convince the gf that riding was safe, and she trusted me all the way down to National Park and back, on the back of the bike, so I can't be that bad..

[White trash]

I'll take three pug leads off my bike so as P/Femme has another 250 to ride with.

Ahhhh, actually. Might just spend the day with the kiddies seeing as it's the last weekend with them for a while.

Y'all have fun now, y'hear?

Sweet thank you :) I'll talk to Sam tonight and see if she's keen... I'll PM you and let you know

lol I will be jealous if Sam goes on the 636... my dream bike *sigh* then she'll brag about it :)

lol and you'd still proberly be faster than me...

Don't get me wrong I can keep up I just try not to hoon around too much... well... not when Sams around anyway (shhhh :whistle: ) cause she gives me shit about it

[Big Dave]

You'd do better taking your hand off your dick. What have dogs got to do with it?
:yes:

[crashe]

Ok I am kinda keen to go a tad further in my riding... WEATHER permitting.
But looking at the map.... ummm how do I get to Botany Downs..????

I'm a westie... and never go out that way...
aint going to go over the shore and then come back south...

What happened to meeting at AutoBahn... like we usually do...
Ok I shall wait til some kind person gives me better directions to Botony Downs... from west auckland.

depends from where 'west' you're coming from (can't remember)..
If you want, while the rest ride on, I'lll split off at the city off ramp (just after the flyover), and meet up around 9.15 at the Placemakers on the triangle bit of that junction. Then we just jump on the southern and catch up (not goin quick, I'll instruct the leader to slow, or if there isn't too many, we can all stop), then we'll all cruise to the BP to meet the rest.

how does that sound?

Ummmm Im coming out from Tat South way... up the nor western motorway, throu spaghetti junction onto southern motorway and then ????????

[bugjuice]

nope. If you want to meet at Placemakers, ride the NW to the city. At the lights, turn left as if you're going onto the northern SH1. But, instead of going left over the bridge at the next lights, go straight. About 50m on is Placemakers. There's some car parking at the back there. Hold up there, and we'll meet you. From there, we turn around, and head to the Southern.

If you want to just head there and meet us at the BP instead (ignore the above then), then get onto the Southern and ride all the way down to the East Tamiki turn off (the one before the Mt Wellington turn off, with the big long exit) and keep left. You go down a smaller motorway. Ride that to the first set of traffic lights, then turn right. Keep on that road and ride it for about 10 minutes or so to Botany. Ride past Botany (and you should have Subway on your left as you ride past), and the road seems to bear left. Just after you go round to the left, the BP is right there on the left..

Hope that makes sense. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone!!

[Waylander]

Sweet if you're comming that means I won't be the only cruiser. And having another Virago there is most certainly a plus.

Where is SlashWylde?:devil2:

[HDTboy]

I might be keen if I'm not too hung over :puke: and :doobey: wasted. I may also have ballast, so I'll be going slow. I'll be at cycletreads at 9 if I'm coming.
Placid, I'm a 250 too :ride:

[unhingedlizard]

I'm coming ( :slap: ) too so theres another 250.

If it stops pissing fuel all over the garage floor :unsure:

[SuperDave]

I can't come along for the whole ride as I have work at 12 but I'm pretty keen for meeting up with the other Shore riders and riding over to the BP and then maybe tag along for a short while before turning back for the shore to make it back for 12.

You 250cc riders can stop complaining as again I will have the lowest cc rating of the bunch...

[HDTboy]

yeah, but your bike strokes twice as quick as ours :P

[SuperDave]

yeah, but your bike strokes twice as quick as ours :P

Excuse the ignorance, but what do you mean by that? :S

[HDTboy]

I'm assuming FXRs are 2 stroke, correct me if I'm wrong

[SuperDave]

I'm assuming FXRs are 2 stroke, correct me if I'm wrong

Nope, they are single cylinder 4 strokes :yes:

[MadDuck]

Righto the weather is looking good for Sunday so if my alarm goes off I will see you North Shore peps at Cycletreads.

[aff-man]

I'll pop along for a jaunt...

Hey BJ with that wheelie balast on the back you'll finally have enough traction/wieght shiftage for wheelieing........

hmmm i need somw more practice as well :devil2: :devil2:

[HDTboy]

I stand corrected then and shall proceed to mount my high horse, secure in the knowledge that I'm not likely to lose to a FXR in a straight drag

[N4CR]

Oooeeer Sunday now :| I have gym from 8am... so ill probably be catching up to ya buggers on the way down... might be about 15 mins off the pace. (Beware of Ghost Rider tootling the horn trumpet melodiously while race past the opposing rider).

'Whitford, Maraetai' does this mean past pine harbour? I don't know the roads so well to get down to our destination BUT I know there are two ways.

[v.ros`]

seems we getting quite a good amoun of 'keen' riders for sunday...

thats good... c u guys there ...hopefully :)

[SuperDave]

I stand corrected then and shall proceed to mount my high horse, secure in the knowledge that I'm not likely to lose to a FXR in a straight drag

Too bad that roads have corners aye? :sly:

[HDTboy]

Quite
10 characters

[unhingedlizard]

I stand corrected then and shall proceed to mount my high horse, secure in the knowledge that I'm not likely to lose to a FXR in a straight drag

How about a TDR?

[Madmax]

sunday is good for me may have a hangover though
(depends how some house buying goes over the weekend)
:devil2:

[placidfemme]

lol always good to hear I'm not the only 250...

*is getting excited* :)

See you all on Sunday :ride:

[v.ros`]

HDT : not to let you down but mate... becareful with what you say to SuperDave. ...

In the last ride, he was literally raping that poo 150 machine.... and i dont mean normal rape... HARD RAPE .. LOL

[Lou Girardin]

You'd do better taking your hand off your dick. What have dogs got to do with it?
:yes:

Wellingtons version of a dog sled - three pugs and a Gixxer.

[pyrocam]

WOOT!
Im in with a grin. cheers for the organising BJ.

One of my 'co-workers' may be coming along too. He is building up a bike at the moment of which flavour is beyond my memory but I think its either a 600cc ot 1000cc bike

of course....
I will be riding my rather untrustworthy stead. the mighty 2 Stroke-Single Cylinder-148cc RGV WOOTIES!

sigh
slowest rider. AGAIN....

you have an estimated return to auckland time BJ?

[Waylander]

So I finally get to meet the psyco behind the screen name huh? This could be interesting. Wonder if Indy will show up. Denizens of the LOTPIHGAD, lol.

Hillarios(sp)
ditto.
isnt indy in hammy? or is that you. im no wait. it IS you. (remembers the DBZ stuff) your in auckers?

yeah looks like its gonna be a blast.

edit: maybe Ill get a silly hat and glue it to my helmet. by glue I mean maybe some sellotape. I dont think glue is good for helmets.

edit2: HAHAHAHAHA I have a blonde wig the size of marge simpsons hair. hahahahahah

Hehe yea I'm in Hams goin up there to get some boots from Buggy then headin out to Tauranga. Gonna be weighted down with a backpack and saddle bags so wont be going to fast either. I'll put the DBZ dvds in one of them for ya but you'll have to figure out a way to get them back to me lol. And I think Indy is in Auckland.

[placidfemme]

I have a yellow mohawk for helmets you can borrow for the ride if you like :)

I've worn it a few times and you get a lot of... well... funny looks... but I think it looks kewl :)

[bugjuice]

cool, looks like some faces meetin.. always fun..

no eta on return. At a guess, we'll be back in Auckland before 4 (kinda hope), but depends on how we head back too. When we stop, it'll be quicker to carry on and fly back up SH1. It'll be double the time it took to get there, to head back the same way home.. We can decide when we are done eating, and 2 groups can split if needs be, so anyone can go either way.

[Postie]

so you got your WOF ok BJ???

[bugjuice]

so you got your WOF ok BJ???
lol.. you tryin to dob me in?!?!
doing it in the morning, or afternoon, if I sleep in..

[v.ros`]

reach back in akl at 4...??? :gob: :shit:

i thought it would be around 2 or 3.. lol

[bugjuice]

reach back in akl at 4...??? :gob: :shit:

i thought it would be around 2 or 3.. lol
quite likely will be.. But as I was told the other day, what ever time I say, they add 2hrs, and that's when I'm back.. So I've added 2hrs.. most likely be less than what I said, but if you aim further out..

[Stroker Girl]

Hopefully manage to drag my arse out of bed on Sunday and meet up with you all.

As I'm heading in from the South, might meet you at Clevedon or Maraetai. What time do you think you'll be passing through? Is it about 20 mins from Botany to Clevedon?

[aff-man]

I have a yellow mohawk for helmets you can borrow for the ride if you like :)

You waer yours and i'll wear mine :devil2: :devil2:

It'll be double the time it took to get there, to head back the same way home.. We can decide when we are done eating, and 2 groups can split if needs be, so anyone can go either way.

Last time we headed out that way, I got back to the North Shore at about 2:00. That was including Mr Skid having a puncture and quite a long lunch at Kaiaua. This was heading back up SH1. So for those that are under time constraint, the best would be to head back up SH1.

If I have the time in the morning, I will come along. I will meet you guys on the North Shore. I will have to be back by 12:30. :nono:

[notme]

Sweet if you're comming that means I won't be the only cruiser. And having another Virago there is most certainly a plus.

Where is SlashWylde?:devil2:

We'll both be there bro - unless it's raining. Or I'm hung over. Or one or both of us sleeps in. Or I don't feel like it. :motu:

[Waylander]

Hope that makes sense. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone!!

CORRECTION:

Almost right BJ .... :devil2:

The turn off before MT Welly is signposted "South Eastern Highway and Airport". Get off here, and as buggy sez, go to the end of the highway (it's basically a 2 lane motorway). Go right on to Ti Rakau Drive at the lights at the end of the highway, then stay on it for 10 mins or so AND MIND THE FRICKIN SPEED CAMERA ABOUT 2 MINS INTO IT - 60KPH - and continue on to the BP on your left.

If you or anyone needs more help (Botany is a bit of an urban jungle...) a) wises.co.nz is your friend, and b) call or txt me 021 261 1706 on the day :yes:

[notme]

Tell ya what, if you're not there I'll come kick your arse out of bed. Hows that?

Make sure it's the right body first ok? Or all hell shall descend upon a certain Texan :mad:

[EDIT] - of course, if there is only one body in the bed then you have permission to laugh at the drummer who has no female company :rofl:

[DEATH_INC.]

Wot time do you think you'll be passing through Clevedon? We may be able to meet you guys there....

[unhingedlizard]

I have a yellow mohawk for helmets you can borrow for the ride if you like :)

I've worn it a few times and you get a lot of... well... funny looks... but I think it looks kewl :)

O, O ME ME, i'll borrow it if you dont mind?

Would look great on me yellow and black bike :ride: :weird:

[danb]

Ohhh goody! Went on this ride with danb and another non-kb'r last weekend and the weekend before that.. keen :D

Just gotta find my way through the concrete jungle of the urban botany shithouse. (I hate that place with a passion) :oi-grr:


Now you shutup now about Botany now - Its my local huh....

Yea might see me on the ride if its not raining.

[saiko]

I'm in, if anyone wants to pillion let me know, so I can sort out the rear seat.

[bugjuice]

fuk, I have got some stuff wrong, huh?
well you lot know where it is, and the ones that don't, I'm sure I'll meet ya on the way thru..

As for what time we'll be getting to Clevdon, I have no real idea. Someone want to say before I blurt something else out that's wrong? I reckon it'll be about 30 odd mins from when we start.. But not knowing for sure, I can't comfirm..

[notme]

........ to Clevdon, I have no real idea. Someone want to say before I blurt something else out that's wrong? I reckon it'll be about 30 odd mins from when we start.. But not knowing for sure, I can't comfirm..

17 mins 43 sec ....approximately......:devil2:

I reckon 30 mins at a nice pace is a good estimate.

Now please excuse me, there is a pub that needs draining.......:drinkup:

[Waylander]

Lookin to be a good sized ride now aye. Good thing I got some new batts for the cam.:ride:

[justsomeguy]

Sure mate. Few of us are meeting at Road and sport.

SlashWylde will be intown too. Me and him gonna go look at some bikes.

Got a futon here for ya too if ya need a place.

Thanks for that - I should have a bed organised i hope......

When are you gonna see some bikes?? I'm riding down in the afternoon - should be in Hammy by 2pm Sat...... are u gonna see the bikes on Sat or Sun??

Cos the rides at 10 isn't it?? We gotta leave at like 8:30 ish......

Slash is a good rider - rides his 250 very well...... much better than me through the corners

Hehe yea we're goin to look at bikes tomorrow. Don't know what time. Whenever he txts me I guess. Probably early to mid morning since most shops here close around 4 or 5 on saturday.

Yea the plan for sunday was meet at R&S at 8 or so and leave at 8:30. Will be doin SH1 all the way up as I don't have enough gas for 22.

Havn't seen Slash ride but here tell that even on a 250 cruiser he keeps up with you faster nuts. More than I can do.:no: Anyway I'm out for the night. See ya tomorrow if ya come down. Gimmy a text or summat, number should show up when you look at my profile.

[placidfemme]

You waer yours and i'll wear mine :devil2: :devil2:

OK :) lol

*will wear my yellow mohawk* :devil2:

[placidfemme]

O, O ME ME, i'll borrow it if you dont mind?

Would look great on me yellow and black bike :ride: :weird:

lol those little mohawks are kewl... It also depends on your style of helmet because if there are any bits that stick out on the helmet (like vents) the sticky things don't stick... and all 4 need to stick to the helmet otherwise it might fly off...

Unfortunatly I've already agreed to wear mine, but you can get them from most bikes for $25. Red Baron sells them, last time I went in they had a nice neon green one and a blue one... I wanted a blue one but when I went to buy one they only had yellow :)

I've worn it a few times just commuting to work... certainly makes cagers notice you a few more... the best time was heading home over the bridge and a van with teenage school chicks in the back were waving at me and blowing kisses :love: LOL guess they couldn't see my face through the tinited visor and thought I was a guy LMAO not that I cared :devil2:

enjoy

[BigB]

If I can get out of bed that early I mite tag along, haven't been on a ride for a while.

cheers

[aff-man]

hahahaha yes trying to take off a mohawk while going on the motorway is quite hard.... so just stick it on with tape....

Also i found that it creates quite a bit of drag at "speed"

hmmm looks like it is turing out to be a good ride..

Now PF where did you say that bus was :devil2: :rofl: :rofl:

[Waylander]

Ok so far the definates are:

Feint (if he has time)
Death_INC & Draco (depending unknown)
Danb (weather)
BigB (If awake)

15 definates with 25 if all the maybes show up.:ride: Still time for others to join in though.

[placidfemme]

lol bus? You mean the van full of chicks? They were infront of me heading onto the bridge going towards the North Shore, I was behind them and they were all looking at me out the back window... and as you know what riding behind a van is like I changed into the lane next to the van as soon as I could and when I did that all the chicks in the 2 (or 3) rows of seats could now see me and they were all waving and blowing kisses ( :love: hehe) and so I gave them a quick wave (so as to not burst thier bubble) and then took off grinning the rest of the way home... Sam was like "how was your ride home" my reply "yeah it was ok" lol :devil2:

yeah those mohawks are a bitch to remove on the motorway, tried once and it feels like you have to reach right back and try pull off the remaining sticky thingys without pulling your head back or to the side and all the while keeping control of the bike... it's a bit of a worry... tried to leave it and could feel it flapping away and was thinking "crap I paid $25 for it might as well try to save it" and made a second attempt at removing it... they do produce a "dragging" feeling at any speeds over 80kph... I'll do what you said and secure it on... then put some tape on it too :)

Hopefully the weather holds out for tomorrow... there's meant to be a few showers but nothing big...

If you want, while the rest ride on, I'lll split off at the city off ramp (just after the flyover), and meet up around 9.15 at the Placemakers on the triangle bit of that junction. Then we just jump on the southern and catch up (not goin quick, I'll instruct the leader to slow, or if there isn't too many, we can all stop), then we'll all cruise to the BP to meet the rest.

how does that sound?

Ok meet at 9.15am at placemakers...

I will be riding really slow guys... still aint up to speed yet, and I don't want to overdo it too much....

So the Queen of Slow rides again.... :rofl: :rofl:

[HDTboy]

Oi! Useless, you left me and my impending hangover off the maybe list

[stify]

slight change of plans,i will come & ave some fush and chips with ya's.

ok, so we just keep cruisin down the motorway, and you'll catch up then? There's a good chance we could be miles ahead, just cos we're a minute from the motorway, where as you're a good few minutes off. If you leave as close to 9 as poss, and we'll be leaving after we've messed around a few minutes later, so might catch up. Kinda annoying tho, cos there's no way of knowing who made it in front..

[pyrocam]

fucken YEAH
awesome ride

I woke up around 10ish so had to gun it to botony, some friendly bikers told me youd left and told me the way to cleavdon. got to cleavdon. checked with the shell guy (very quaint movie scene) 'have you seen a hoard of bikers come past?' "oh arr yes they left not near 10 minutes ago methinks"
as I was heading down to maraitai I noticed my godsend. a bloddy yellow mohawk helmet. saved. so did a U'y and had absoulutley no luck catching them on the road but everyone was going through cleavdon apparently. Woot I thought, im back in the group. only to be dismayed at the fact that I was last ... again. sigh

and crashe! thanks for the escort but honestly. queen of slow? what was that up sh1! :) . my poor booboo was struggling....aww doodums. :)

nice to met some more of you guys and see some friendly faces. I hope I catch you guys next time

[N4CR]

Ohhhh twas lovely! 'Bestest' ride I've been on.. good to see the 250's showing those bigger bikes how to ride :rofl:

Nice showing too.. was amazing to see heaps of bike ahead of you going through a valley... looks awesome!

John get your ZXR fixed so we can had the '5 ZXR's of doom' cruising around.

Poor bike needs an oil change, twas finding 'N' a little to much for my liking.
And uhh... it sure kept close to redline in the last part :love: poor neighbors think the F1 GP is going on when HDT/Me/Gareth etc go past :whistle:

[v.ros`]

I thaught there was a bin just before the chip shop after that blardy gravel.

Crashe said there wasn't though... everyone that was in the 'zxr' group was gone (left behind) except Gareth and myself. It was weird having a whole lot behind and infront and then the tail drops away...

[Big Dave]

I did - these are the best 6 - at wallpaper size.

Others - not quite as good quality (rushing to try and get as many as I could and some are a bit soft)

Glad to hear you guys had a good ride. Bugger, I was real keen for this ride but had to head back for work. Even got harrassed by a fucken cunt of a cop on the way back, pulling me over with such a weak reason pisses me off.

[saiko]

Nice photos Dave.

[crashe]

and crashe! thanks for the escort but honestly. queen of slow? what was that up sh1! :) . my poor booboo was struggling....aww doodums. :)

Mate I was so sore in my tum that all I wanted to do was get home...
There was one too many bumps out on that road for me today.
The last stretch was ok...

I wasnt going that fast up da motorway. I was doing 110km max. Honest.

Got home and washed the lime off my bike and now resting.

Now where did I put the painkillers.

[crashe]

I do want to say "Thanks" to Justsomeguy for the loan of his back today for me to lean againest after we had all eaten.

Draco, mate, it was sooooo cool to catch up with you again...
Get back out on the bike a lot more often...
Oh and I did forget to say they are a really neat pair of specs.

It was so neat to finally get out and do a KB run again...
I had so missed them rides.

Nice to meet new people as well..... to put a name to the face.

Now to suss out where all the pic's from today are...

[SuperDave]

I wish I was there to get a photo of myself like that. Good photos man :niceone:

[bugjuice]

did someone bin or not?

[crashe]

did someone bin or not?

Bugjuice - Thanks for organising today's ride... awesome .


Well I never saw no bin...

All I saw was one dude whose bike died on the road... which you stopped to help at BJ.

And some dude lost a key..

Sorry I don't know their names.

[FEINT]

Thanks for the photos Big Dave! Awesome shots!!

Really really good stuff on the panning and photos! I have to learn some skills off you! :D :D

[FEINT]

Buggy, Thanks for oganising the ride! It was an awesome ride! :ride: :clap: :clap:

The ride back, we headed up SH1 instead of through Hunua. Missed the turn off... woops.. :oi-grr: But I met Pyrocam, Crashe, Magicmarker and Placidfemme on the way back to SH1.

Hope you all had a good ride through Hunua.

Weather was good, roads were a wee bit wet, but dried up as the day went on. Great day and great company!

Fantastic photos...

Ok now can someone tell us why someone was washing their bike tyre and rear wheel with the car window washer thingee...???

I use that brush thingee to wash my helmet visor or car windows...
NOT to wash a bike tyre or rear wheel.

The poor buggar who went to use the brush next on the helmet visor or car window.. YUK.

[T.I.E]

excellent pictures guys. hope to be taking some pictures soon. got a new toy and need some pratice. excellent shots guys.

Yup, yet another awesome day... I shall miss these with great sadness.
Cheers Buggy... bigups yah. :drinkup:

Hey Nuan/Reese wtf was going on on the mway? It looked like Reese wanted to pull over & swap bikes back but Nuan just kept going... haha... hope yah got it sorted. :no:

[unhingedlizard]

The dead bike was me, dont know what happened, one minute having a ball the next, no power and cant start the bloody thing.

[unhingedlizard]

alas me again, trans fluid on rear tyre.

[Zed]

Thanks for some great photos there BD & MagicM! It helps us *slackers* who weren't there get an impression of the ride. :o

Wow, is that Hayabusa in that pic got a huge dent on the side or is it just the paint job or light that makes it look that way?

Glad you all had a good'un! :clap:

:Punk: awsome ride. Was a bit slippery but what ya gonna do. Had great fun playing catchup. Got after letting everyone passed me and roo waited at the miranda turn off for like ages and ages cause i thought superdave was coming then we buggered off. Set a good pace and managed to catch the tailenders. So at the miranda onto SH2 turnoff i set about waiting for big dave.....and waited.........and waited. Finally another set of bikers came along and they said he was taking pics back there so i waited some more......... he never came. So i decided (even though i was about 10-15 mins behind) to try catch you lot through the hanua's.....

Probably went a bit faster than i should have but when i reached clevedon JSG said i had missed you lot by like 1 minute or so. So i waited around a bit and kittyhawk showed up. went over scenic drive .... then went back over and over again for the hell of it.... i noticed i wasn't getting good straight line traction. So after a bit of tyre inspection i saw that it had worn straight through to the steel belt...hmmmmm... must have been the ride to clevedon cause my bike kept leaving the ground on every bump :rofl: :rofl: .

But yeh i had fun and will do it again soon...... well i will have a new rear tyer that will need scrubbing in :rofl: :Punk: :Punk:

I once had a dog with one leg, it ran the races and won until it grew wings and flew to save a princess and live happily ever after, on its newly colonised home on uranus.:yes:

[Big Dave]

So at the miranda onto SH2 turnoff i set about waiting for big dave.....and waited.........and waited.

Ahh sorry - i waited and waited for the main group to ride by and they never came. saw a few but....then I went back to the fisho just to check.

Then I headed up through the Hunuas as discussed - where i caught up to a mufti cop car, so i took the turn off to Ramarama and cruised the freeway.

We'll do the wheelie shots next time.

[HDTboy]

I'll have to make myself more conspicuous next time, not one pic of me :( Oh well I'll try and be louder

I was just too scared to stop the thumping single, being a short arse and all! :rofl: And I'm not accustomed to those levels of mid-range :whistle:

Rhys was signalling :drinkup: meaning that either:
* He had been drinking OR
* My Ninja was drunk
With that, I just wanted to get the hell outta there!

And props again to Bugjuice. All good today eh? :Punk:

[danb]

I did - these are the best 6 - at wallpaper size.

Others - not quite as good quality (rushing to try and get as many as I could and some are a bit soft)

www.davidcohen.co.nz/sunday


Thanks for the pics - First one I have had taken while I have been riding. :clap:
Good website I see as well!

[Gazzar]

BJ not that i kown of i just ment that before i left no one had bined and i hope no one did after. The last 2 rides there has been 1 or 2 bins that i have been on after i have left. :weird:

[Big Dave]

Not intentional - 1 bike was going by every time it wrote a pic to the memory card. I need 2 cameras !

Only got half of them

[danb]

Yes it was a good ride thanks to buggy and everyone elce...
Thanks to thoes to waited for me a few times going through the hunuas since I hadnt a clue where I was going and was getting left for dead :weird: :yes:

See you guys around on the next ride :ride:

I wanted to get off the 636.
I was finding it's mid range torque sorely lacking, and needed a stiff drink to recover.

[N4CR]

Yeah :( we both missed out huh. See the arse end of mine in one pic and the front of it at about 10*10pixels or something annoyingly small like that.

I think we need to drill holes in the headers or something ridiculously stupid like that next time :devil2:

[HDTboy]

Maybe it's cause we were too loud, it appears aff-man missed out too.

[SPman]

Good turnout, counted 40 bikes at Botany.
Ride conditions were typical winterous over the hills - ie - crappish, and I was riding like a nana!
Good to see old and new faces, Death and Draco turned up as well.
Had to get back to AK quickish, hence I left you guys after we left Kaiaua and I buggered off back up the m/way - may be boring but its still the quickest way home (107k in 53 mins!)

Hey, I got lots of pics of my bike this time. (although none with me on it)
you need a pink bike, you do!

[HDTboy]

(107k in 53 mins!)
That's quite an average speed !$)ish

Thats the last time I go to all that effort... :crybaby:


Ahhh! - didn't make the cut - overe - exposed and out of focus - the price you pay for all the effort.
Done what I can with it.

In a magazine we'd do something arty with it:

[chickenfunkstar]

Great day, especially once the roads dried out a bit.
Good to meet some new people.

Thanks Bugjuice for organising the day.

[Waylander]

Woohoo!!! Great to be back on the big rides. Loved this one. Fun twisty bits and heaps of cool bikers to hang out with. Glad I wasn't the only cruiser there this time too. Had a few spots that worried me a bit but never came close enough to a wreck to tighten the sphincter (sp) Crazy fun and great scenery. Left of from the group after fish&chips and took the 25 to the 2 then that all the way to Tauranga. Was a gorge about half way here that was fun to go through aswell. Sheer rock wall on the left and slow moving river to the right lots of fun turns. Back and shoulders are sore from the backpack and my neck hurts from fighting the wind on my helmet.

Stupid open face. Tis what I get for leaving my full in front of the heater to long.

Thanks to Bugjuice for the boots and hot choclate. Was a bit cold when I got up to Auckland. Mamma Crashe made me put on another pair of jeans and put a plastic bag under my jacket in the front. Worked a charm cause it kept me warm all the way here. Also thanks to SlashWylde for lunch, definatly a better f&c shop than the one in Hamilton lol.

Will post my pictures next week when I am back home since I am on my moms pc at the moment.

Thanks Big Dave. This one is me. (http://www.davidcohen.co.nz/sunday/pages/PICT0406.htm)

[MeHigh]

I’m so pissed off… me clutch bugger off just 200m to the BP, so I’ve missed the ride. Anyway was a great view seeing you guys going! Thanks to the friendly faces that gave me advice. Nice meeting ya Drunken Monkey and hope you found a battery!

[Big Dave]

Maybe it's cause we were too loud, it appears aff-man missed out too.

Nah - already got him yesterday see 'Saturday activity' thread - and anyone who wears one of those mohawks.....

Heh, I figured as much, but thanks for the efforts. I've never managed to take decent photos... my hat is off to you guys who manage to get a few good ones out of a days shooting.
Quite intrigued with the 'arty' manipulation... a good angle on recycling trash :clap:

[Keystone19]

Thanks for another awesome ride guys! Thanks to Bugjuice for organising it and a big thanks to Big Dave for the photo! First time I've been photographed actually riding!

Hope I didn't slow anyone down on the way from Hunua to Clevedon!! That is a very cool piece of road! First time I've ridden through there! :yes:

[N4CR]

You had nice lines, thats why everyone was behind you!

I took off and passed ya after a while... but nice riding :2thumbsup

front wheel isn't cut off and much cleaner than the original - the photo not the rider.

[Big Dave]

Oh I see now.. heres me being bloody picky.

Thats the free job. $65 an hour and it's invisible.
And besides that you couldn't ever ferkin' tell originally :motu:

[Waylander]

wonderful bit of software, the old photoshop
Haha yea thanks for that. Took a bit of the back side of the front tyre and added it to the front of it. Then just doubled a bit of the bush and leaves to extend the rest of the photo. Look much better. Got me a new Profile picture. Just wish the bike itself wasn't so mangled.:no:

[justsomeguy]

Nice ride today guys.....

Aff-man , Danb and I stayed back with unhingedlizard to help him load his broken down bike onto his ute -hope you get it sorted soon mate-

Then saw Phoenix and Kittyhawk cruise by

A few minutes later they probably must have recognised us as they turned back and came to join us.

Once UHL had his bike all tied down and was off - Aff-man, DanB, KittyHawk, Phoenix and I took off for a bit of a blat down Scenic Drive/Road....... enjoyed it so much we turned around and went straight back...... then turned back and returned doing three laps of some marvelous twisties..... I love those 25 corners......

I think we were all a bit high :weird: or something - cos there were a few - umm.. more than a few...Ghost Rider'ish moments in traffic - hehehe the best of which were 4 bikes drag racing in a single lane at a few traffic lights :laugh: .........bloody 600's kicked my :moon: .....and some enthusiastic lane splitting - all under full control mind you.:yes:

Then we all proceeded to McDonalds for a bit of a debrief and some burgers in Botany Shopping Center...... after which we went to kittyhawks place to check out 2 bikes she has hidden in her garage......Hey Kitty some lovely projects there-

Then returned home by 6:30 - great day atleast 600kms for me this weekend :banana:

[aff-man]

Nah - already got him yesterday see 'Saturday activity' thread - and anyone who wears one of those mohawks.....

OOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!! you with the face........... :rofl: :rofl:

[placidfemme]

Great pictures... for those of you who weren't there... you should have been... we started off with 38 bikes... was a great ride :) And it was nice meeting you all :)

[placidfemme]

Great ride on Sunday, some really good pics have been posted :) Was nice to meet you all :)

[Lou Girardin]

That was a fun ride, despite getting lost in Botany, then losing Pixie somewhere. So it was sprint time over Twilight road to catch up at Clevedon.
It was impressive to see so many bikes at Kaiaua, I bet the takings were well up at the Chip shop.
I'm even more impressed by these Z6's, never once slid, even on those shaded corners where you go from dry to wet at speed.
T'was nice to meet other KB'ers who've just been disembodied posts till now.

[FEINT]

Good photos!! :Punk: :Punk:

The rest of the photos are in the main thread, if you haven't seen them :D.

[R6_kid]

Not intentional - 1 bike was going by every time it wrote a pic to the memory card. I need 2 cameras !

Only got half of them

i knew i shouldnt have let that thumping ducati past me... maybe someones just biased towards 'cool' bikes unlike my rungus ZXR :Punk: Awesome photos tho BD.

cheers to bugjuice for sorting this all out, probly a bit too much stress for the old*ish* bloke but someone give that man a :drinkup:

was awesome to see so many bikes, and as tristan said - was awesome trailing in a line of 10+ bikes through the gorges up towards BD... i need to get a tank cam because that would have been awesome on video.

Favourite part was the little ZXR crew punching it out throught the twisties holding on to the bigger bikes...

Keystone... got tristan to follow you for a bit coz you take awesome lines for us medium paced people, just pisses me off you've got that low down torque to get out of the corners at decent speed without having to change gear - ya left me behind a couple of times there, but its always fun to ride with ya :2thumbsup

[bugjuice]

cheers to bugjuice for sorting this all out, probly a bit too much stress for the old*ish* bloke but someone give that man a :drinkup:
cheeky bugger..

welcome everyone.. glad you all enjoyed the ride.. ;)

[Motoracer]

Holly shit! This community is getting so big, it's hard to keep track of all the new faces. I'll try my best to make it to the next one to meet you lot.

[Brett]

yeah the twisties were good fun...had a couple of bad lines that had me worried...but over all i think that we did well to hold the bigger boys!
It was a kick ass cruise...i had to turn around half way to Kaiaua to be back in Howick by 1pm, so i missed the rest of the ride...the ride back was alot faster tho due to the road drying out! :yes:

[Qkchk]

So that was you on the Busa. Was wondering. Ofcourse the only time I saw it was when we stopped.

[N4CR]

Yeah that busa :love: mmmmmmmmm *wakes up again*

Was quite funny - while going through the gorge (where Big Dave was photographing) managed to go past the bus. Not for long :( next straight after the gorge this beautiful sounding behemoth goes right past me in a flash... darn it. :devil2:

Nice to see one in the flesh for longer than 2 seconds.

I'm sure I saw you going up the bottom of symonds st into town a couple of months ago as well!

[Waylander]

Got a pic of your bike Qkchk at the petrol station at the begining of the ride but it came out all fuzzy and porly focused. Have to make sure I'm not moving next time.

Hey yaaaawl. Yeah shame Dave never got me a photo side on either :( BUT hey I'm not the only one that missed out on that privilege... only makes me more keen for the next run!!

I do remember lettin in a quacker at the start of the Gorge - figured he'd have more fun than me on those corners. Next time I might put hubby on the 'busa and I'll 'borrow' his gixer1000, then I can play in the twisties. I was a bit unsure of my front tyre in the wet conditions - had a minor tank-slap about a month ago on SH1 on a corner, so keeping my wits with me for now. It was only when I got home I bothered to check out the breed of tyres I was running (Only purchased the bike in May) To my surprise, who would put a Mich Pilot on the rear then a Brig Battlax on the front???? :weird:

As for the ride - great road (except the odd patch of green slime on the 'always damp' side of the road) great company and great time..... :)

And on that note Waylander - I have a few old full face helmets in the top cupboard - They'll be a bit big for you perhaps - but you can wear your cap under one.
If you work out how i get it to you you can have one.

Yea left it in front of the heater too long. The other helmets are my dads old ones and are too big on me. New helmet is gonna be one of the first things I buy though. Need a @#&*$ Job.

Many thanks to Waylander who PM me about this ride to Auckland,without that shove I would not have come along :no:
Nice to meet a few of you, too many to get around you all..,next time!
Thanks to BJ for organising the ride..I had to leave it at Clevedon to visit my mother in Papakura before I rode back to Cambridge..babysitting neighbors kids :argh:
Hi to unhingedlizard,hope you got that bike home safe, also hi to Feint,lovely to meet you too.

[Qkchk]

You'll have to slow down then :yes:

Thanks, Big Dave

Will take your advice for next time :2thumbsup
