let me educate in the way of the germans......

five minutes before the time is the correct time....!

[Rehab]

I tried selling my FXR and upgrading to a 250. Didn't sell though. Some of you may have noticed a rattly sound coming from my bike on the taupo ride. Got that fixed. It was part of the baffles. I suppose I'll put a bit of money into properly servicing my FXR (4000km and 8000km services haven't been done) and hold onto it till it's time to buy a six hundy (or similar).

I noticed your FXR making a funny noise the whole trip - sounded like it was only running on one cylinder.... How much did you want for it?

Oh, and I better chuck in a tenner as well or people will cal me names.

[Armi]

HAHA! We have a funny guy. Was hoping to get $2200 for it. Had 2 offers for $1800.

Wanted to get a half decent 250 cause most of my riding now is on the motorway and I sit at around 10500rpm with a 12500 redline. It's pretty much the same on bigger rides like this.

30 minutes late was more common for a German train coming in to Basel station.

[Armi]

Wasn't expecting to have to book a whole month in advance :pinch:

I was just looking at the camp grounds website and thought hmm.. Ruakaka. I know I've been there before. Maybe for a daytrip or something. Then I realised that's where my mates and I went camping for a week in February! The owners are nice people.

Looks to be a lot of people trying to get in at the moment. I looked at my full and went back into it an hour later and it had jumped a day. I have to wait a whole day after im due for it. <_<:laugh:

Get in where ya can...no excuse for you Armi, you now have the funds to sit your 6R...:corn:

[Mom]

The managers are nice people.

Fixed that for you, and yes they are. This is where I broke my ankle and I could not have asked for a better place for it to happen. Mike rides a CB1300, good people all round.

[Armi]

Is anyone looking for someone extra for a cabin?

[nzspokes]

Split ya half?

I looked at a GSXR1100k yesterday, only 157bhp. That could be fun.

[nathanwhite]

Is anyone looking for someone extra for a cabin?

Yep. you booking one?


I looked at a GSXR1100k yesterday, only 157bhp. That could be fun.

Should we just get a hayabusa while were at it?

[Armi]

Yep. you booking one?

I'll be late on the friday if I go. Will meet everyone at the camp ground.

Will put it through tonight? :mellow:

[Armi]

Whenever mate. No rush

[Rehab]

Whenever mate. No rush

Paid.
$10 is an ok deal for an FXR I reckon, although I'm still not completely sure I haven't overpaid a bit. Anyway, just drop it round when you can - no rush.



Oh, while I'm here, didn't you want some help with funds for your test as well? Same bank account? Happy to help, although now I've bought another FXR bucket I can only spare coins.....

[Grant`]

Money Paid Armi!

on another note I also got a refund for my steering damper that was faulty after 5 months of not being replaced so bitterly disappointed about that although no fault of the NZ distributor. So I have now spent an additional $200 on top of $500 I initially spent to get a new steering damper as I was sick of waiting. Can't wait for it to arrive makes huge difference on the bike when on the track.

How is everybody haven't been around for a while - Work is extremely busy at the moment :crazy:

[Hellzie]

What he said. Add on part time studying on top of that.. Who's idea was it to do a Masters degree?? :facepalm:

[Armi]

May be a bit early but any idea what time you'll all plan on leaving on the Saturday? I think I'll ride up in the morning, participate in the Saturday ride, hang around for a bit then head back home.

[Grant`]

I would expect we would be on the road for the circuit sometime between 9:00 and 10:00 am on the Saturday, although Maha will have a better grip on that.

But with regular stops along the way, you could come straight through to Dargaville via Sh12 and catch up with us then.

Yeah probably 9:30 Grant..looking like a smaller group than usual, so wont take as long.
313 KMs.. about the same as Akl-Taupo.

Relax, when I did mine, I was told it would take about an hour..after 30 mins I was told go back to the satrt point, it was either good or bad news...I thought it had made a few mistakes (because you seem to be so tentative about the test) but it was a pass.

[Mom]

Thank you again everyone for the donations towards my restricted. The earliest date possible for me to book is the 20th of April... So when I see ya'll on Saturday I had better be without my L plate:woohoo:

We can have a little celebration of "L" plate destruction :yes:

[blue rider]

We can have a little celebration of "L" plate destruction :yes:

considering the size of the plate....it will be a very little and short celebration....but combined with the possibility of some L'Angels going to their Full, this could indeed become a large celebration.

[Rehab]

you should make sure that no snoring will disturb you :innocent:

Every time I have been on a group trip lately, the room I have been trying to sleep in has either contained people snoring or fucking. Just a warning that on this trip I am only cool with that happening if it's me making the noise. If it's anyone but me, I'll be quietly filming it for you tube. Just saying

Well I don't have any other options other then getting my own room, and sharing with mrBirds is cheaper cheaper then that anyway.


That said, I have a homebuild tazer I build out of a disposable camera that is somewhat kinda mostly totally practically lethal. mrBirds I think is too fond of his skin (and heartbeat) to try anything :devil2:

Oi, what's so amusing about that?

Doogal, you're quite safe mate - since my Honda broke I seem to have lost the desire for violent bum sex. But bring the tazer anyway - I'm sure we'll find a use for it. I have actually been zapped by one of those home made camera jobs before. Not saying why, but will say it hurt like fuck.

[swbarnett]

Both these food groups should make an appearance at the Camp...well done to you guys...:jerry:
Thanks Mark. It's nice to have our efforts appreciated. So glad you liked the result.

Have to start some planning - only 3,628,800,000,000,000,000 picoseconds to go (give or take a few)... How many are we now?

[swbarnett]

Mr. Barnett thank you so much for picking me up.......
An absolute pleasure. I just couldn't leave you stranded. Afterall, you were an essential part the gathering.

Looser plates? :bleh:

[Maha]

Those that started out as L Platers have advanced somewhat in a year or so...:scooter:

Its looking more likely that there be a ''play time'' group...I have no objection to anyone wanting to enjoy the chosen route at thier own comfortable pace. As long as the heroics stay at Base Camp..one can always pick them up upon return...thats the only time the bullshit shall reign..:drinknsin
If the weather is good, there is no reason why the roads shouldn't be used to the riders potential.

Twin bridges is still on my list, will give you a call next time I'm road legal and will go for a blast hey.

[Grant`]

Pity we can't encompass Mangamukas, even just up and down them lol. They are so fantastic for anybody to ride over :yes:

[Newbi]

Well the mangamuka's are right on my doorstep, perhaps i'll give them a whirl.

First rule of Playtime group is no body talks about Playtime group! :shifty:

One thing that I cant stress enough is, there is no fast group.

My words were ''have no objection to anyone wanting to enjoy the chosen route at thier own comfortable pace. As long as the heroics stay at Base Camp''
Anyone who wants to try and ride outside of thier abilities can do so another time, when I am not around. :love:

[Newbi]

Ok, all goods, I never ride outside my abilities, cos thats how ya get dead. And at the moment at least I'm not on a suicide mish.

[george formby]

My abilities + heroics (look at me! Bang) + speed tax = Nana. :yes:

Always the opportunity to do a lead arse ride. Ruakaka to Kaikohe, Twin bridges south, Dargaville, Waipoua forest north, Mangamukas, Matauri bay loop south, Old Russell road via Keretu too hone the gravel skills & a wee dash down the state highway to the Lazy boys in Ruakaka:innocent: Prolly take a good 7 - 8 hours with short pie & stretch stops.

Ok, I'm just kidding, my butt is not conditioned for that mileage.

I hope we can make an appearance...:yes:

[newhere]

Ok so i'm rude, I get that, however I do feel sorry for the guy, who's name is spelled that way. (Oh and it was a joke by the way) Even foul mouthed awful horrible me wouldn't say something like that to Maha.

So, I dunno if you've all heard or not, but I'm moving back up to Auckland next week!!!!!!!!

Which means there is a fairly strong possibility I may be able to join in on this ride (if there's space for me...?) even though I already counted myself out...

Cheers! Hopefully starting a new job as a bike messenger next week up in the big 'A', thanks to Mr Birds! I'll have to figure out logistics of my shifts once I get underway with them. So don't write me in as a definite just yet, but will keep you posted on how things go...

As for my next bike, I've got something along the lines of this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=451048974) in mind, but as you say, not for that price! :)

Check out my blog (link below in my sig) for all the latest on what's been happening in my world...

Oh yeah, if anyone has a good quality mountain bike that I could use for my first couple of weeks as a bike messenger, that'd be a huge help to me! I've been hunting online, but the state of my finances is a bit low at the moment, don't want to buy something cheap and nasty and have it fail on me during a shift... PM me if you can help!

(Sorry Maha, this is a bit off topic, but I've been trying to capture as many people's attention for this as possible...!)

[Rehab]

Bloody helll. I turn my back for five minutes and you bloody kids.... Righty then - fasten your selt belts and remember what you said coz I carnt be arsed with all this quoting business.

Maha, due to some interesting application of the new Give Way rules, I too have experienced the numb nuts this week. Something along the lines of "Top of the tee goes before... no wait, gives way to... wait.... I'm at a stop sign in a van at a tee junction and... ah fuck it, the bike will go around me, I'll just go...." Shiiiiiiiiiit!!!! *crush*. I felt your pain. Then my pain. And now nothing at all.

Doogal, I knew you were the right man for the job. You and Jo were on your way to a slap for talking shit about me while I was out of the room, and then I sussed you were organising that orgy we discussed. Well played mate.

Jo. Spooning? Like you need to ask.... Bed booked (and a spare one all of your own for when you get tired later on).

Scotty - yes you are coming on this ride. Your bed is also booked and paid for (don't worry chaps, got a fourth one). We'll be riding up on Friday night after work and a beer at Club Chris & Danny (best not-a-bar bar in Auckland).

Everyone else - hi.

Righto, off to work for a change.

*edit* PS Having just recieved a worried phone call, I should mention that the van didn't hit me. Close, but nerves and bollocks the only damage. Sorry Scotty! But cheers for caring.

[Newbi]

Awesome, glad to hear I definately have a bed, or a few it seems, to choose from, whats the going rate for aforementioned bed?:woohoo:

Cheers

Hey,

Sorry just say this post (I've been slack and haven't been on KB for a while)

I can't make it as I play Football on Sundays and that'll be the start of the season, and by then I should have a job and leave might be an issue, depending on what I end up doing!

...Ash also has a lot of work on those weeks and unfortunately cannot manage to take the Friday off work!

Looks like we are out :( Maybe next time...

All good ..this might be the last before the crap weather sets in...but I want to back to the San Marino (Coopers Beach) later in the year and do a day ride out of there, but noto the cape..*Tick*

I have a couple more destinations in mind, but once again, they will require 2-3 days and public holidays are best left out of the equation.
One south/east and one south/west...

Dam right :yes: God I hate snoring, fine once im asleep but if ya trying to sleep and someones snoring, oh god, soooo bad :yes::laugh:

[nathanwhite]

I think something needs to be done to rectify the current male/female ratio. I think 1:1 would be ideal, but but 2:1 could work also.

Still waiting to hear from work if I can come, but if I can...Does anyone else still need to arrange accommodation?

[Rehab]

I'm guessing you meant the male/female ratio should be 1:2? Otherwise I'm worried about what you have in mind. Or has Jo offered you some 'incentive' to keep things in her favour.

Yea ok, 1:2, but then there would be some 9 people in the cabin :crazy: I figure 2:1 everyone gets half, except for the lucky 2 who get double :devil2:

Unleashed. Ha. Ahaha thats funny


I think it was always there, just below the surface. It just pops up when you least expect it. Much like herpes.

^^ See he knows where it's at.



Except for the herpes jibe. That was just not nice.

[Newbi]

Working on the Taupo run/New Plymouth via SH43 (forgot what the highway is called) and back up over mount Messenger and Awakino Gorge to Te Kuiti.

The Awakino Gorge is a fabulous bit of road to ride on :yes:

[swbarnett]

So I've heard. I've done it in a car but have yet to get around to doing it on two wheels. This will be a good oppotunity to rectify this.

It was my first real ride when I got Millie. We went to the Naki last Easter, man those roads down there were amazing!

That would be the Forgotten Highway ... awesome piece of road.

A coffee stop at the delightful cafe in the middle is a must.

Passes through Whangamomona - a place so isolated they declared themselves a republic and issue their own passports ... :-)

[Ntoxcated]

That would be the Forgotten Highway
:facepalm:

[newhere]

Yeehaa, looks a-maz-ing!!! Can't wait :woohoo:

[Newbi]

Thats one mammoth ride, not sure if i can handle that, but time will tell i guess.:eek5:

[Mom]

You would be surprised really. Once you get going it is all easy peasy. You just need to get out and ride a bit more. If I can ride all the way from here to New Plymouth in one day you can do Taupo to New Plymouth in one day easy as. Just think of the small steps is all. Break the trip up. Stop here the night both ways.

Done

Oh I will definately be considering it don't you worry, every time I ride I get a bit better, and make small improvements. And I might just take up your offer of a place to stay each way. Thank you soo much:love:

Going from a 150cc single to a 4cyl 250 is awesome btw. The sound!! A fair bit heavier than what I'm used to though. An extra 40kg.
