You could be on, Paul. Mind you, I know it's only cos you might need a push, eh?

You can't push what you can't see.... :innocent:

Although seriously its not a place to be silly these days - too much traffic and cyclists.... but a nice ride all the same if you want a short outing....

23rd November 2011, 12:50

I used to ride that hill back when it was not patrolled, had little-to-no traffic and I had a near-new T500. Then I took a Norton-riding mate pillion on a hot CB500/4. He swore at me...
Wouldn't want to ride it like that now. But I kinda miss those days...

Can't say why, but apparently it's important that YT and I be in LH over the w/e. :innocent:
We be in the car :shit: but I can throw my gear in and I'm reliably informed that a bike (or two - for choice) will be available to me :niceone:
Not looking for a race (borrowed bike and all that) but I'm not averse to getting out of first gear either....

Filthy rumour floating around that I will be in Welly that day too......but I plan to bring my bike with me :eek:

Hear tell that if you turn up at Welly Motorcycle Centre between 9 and 10, there's a good ride on !
Won't be doing it mind (unless you're willing to tow me on my pushy ??) Good loop through the rapa this one, got to be in early if ya want a hand in the prize stakes though !

MSTRS

24th November 2011, 11:48

Good they may be, although I can't help but notice the 'small'. And how do you know?

Earlier question...not really sure, but something that takes several hours and covers interesting roads

Small goods is a generic term

Several hours might see me out - like I pm'd I have a few other options ;-) Interesting means the Wairarapa and I think the local kids can point you in the right direction :innocent: The rest of the place is duller than a winter weekend in a dunedin student flat thats not paid the power bill and run out of chairs to burn....

MSTRS

24th November 2011, 12:03

No reason why there can't be something for everyone. Do it all, or join/leave as suits.
I had a loose plan developing that went along the lines of...
Paekak-Waikanae-Akas-Takas-Martinborough-?? Don't really know off the main drag in the 'rapa.

Just need to time things to avoid the poker run.

I've only got a GN250 and just moved from L plates to restricted.

I'm keen to go out and the GN won't do "Flat tack get outter my road" type of riding. :mobile:

MSTRS

25th November 2011, 07:35

If riders are comfortable at the speed limit, that's all that's important. As I said, I'm not interested in a balls-out ride - I'm on a borrowed bike for a start.
I'm happy to give tips and such like to anyone that wants them.

MSTRS

25th November 2011, 08:26

Will be off the net (maybe) from tonight, and I'm not putting my cell up here, so...
Is the Duckpond carpark at Avalon a good place to meet? And what about a time that suits most?

That is going to depend on what time you arrive in wellie and when you are free?

I'd suggest no too early as drizzle is forecast 1st thing plus you will have a hangover ;-)

MSTRS

25th November 2011, 08:45

Will be in L/H tonight. And I don't do hangovers...
Of course, the weather might dictate what/when

And over the hill (http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/masterton)
and the other hill (http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/paraparaumu)

So - the day is looking good.

Is 10am at the Duck pond too early?

10am Duck Pond.. Sounds good to me! As long as i get my vote done before i leave, I'm happy

Remember folk. Full tank of gas! There is a station a few mins ride from the Duck Pond for those that forget.. But its in the opposite direction!

25th November 2011, 16:53

If the weather plays ball I'll be there at 10.... I really don't have all day (at the moment) but that might change eh... ;-)

It was a great ride today with great weather and fellow riders.

It was nice to meet you and put a face to your KB handle as I have seen you pop up on there from time to time. I would always be keen to go for another ride anytime. :ride:

Thank you and your family for a great lunch and opening your house to us, it was very much appreciated. :drinknsin

Hope your ride back to the Hutt was a good un ;-) (we got the lights up - the goat has had an epilectic fit and next doors gone blind but hey - its christmas.....)

So i finally got to put a face to the name. Strange little world we live in. You may remember me asking you about a year ago about Paul and Vicki (the chef one) Via PM?? :pinch:

To be fair - I did warn you :innocent: That roads a shocker at times - a couple of times its been the only option to get back up the coast due to bad weather and accidents so imagine what its like at night in the pissing rain! FUN! Still, I'll bet the ride back to LH was a goodie as it was a bonza day?

After you guys left we finished putting up lights n stuff (can now see our lounge from Mars) and then did a bunch of dumb boy stuff (much to Vickis rolling of eyeballs) with the grand sons..... Those little green plums that blew off the tree make fantastic slingshot ammo)

Happy days and you guys are welcome anytime!

yungatart

28th November 2011, 07:13

Unfortunately, Paul, it does no good to warn me of these things as I was just the pillion...I go where the pilot dictates! I cannot imagine that road in the dark and pissing rain!
Glad you have your Christmas stuff all sorted, I haven't even begun yet :sweatdrop:
I love to see boys doing boy stuff, but I am glad you waited till we'd left!

28th November 2011, 07:19

That has to be the Aka's he took you over ? Lol love that road, not done it for a while though, it's a bit of hard work on a harley haha

Had to be done, good on yas lol nothing better than a goat track to keep ya apreciating the busy highways !

MSTRS

28th November 2011, 08:00

The Akas - a goat track? Nearly, I guess. It's all the roads we love to ride, just made tighter...
It's even better at 2am - well, it was in the 70s. No-one else on it, and in the unlikely event there is, their lights give you warning.

I thought the Ginny went well and I was suprised it managed to keep up, that can happen ever now and again in Welly when I don't have a head wind.

I am looking forward to upgrading ASAP and then be able to venture further out.

Planing to go to Wanganui on boxing day so let me know if you are going through. Maybe catch up.
