Just a piddly little 40 tonne semi travelling 85 kph faster than me :sick:

Stopped that F#@%KER dead in his tracks :innocent:
Now about that bike ride :yes: Hope to get my licence back end of this month, then there is some cabin fever that needs a severe dealing to :scooter:

Righty dokey.

Got any ideas for a short HMCC ride?
I wondered if there were any places in town we could use (I thought about next to the Railway line, but I figure that that's illegal?).

[dino3310]

plenty of areas around the expressway... but i got chased away so that might be illegal too:laugh:
only close place i can think of would be the old mountain limeworks loop, a big truck yard with a few cones could be good for some cornering techniques figure eights etc. maybe to an extreme that mx track up by your place, but that could be an overkill for a newbie, and with no real benefit to gravel riding but would be a bit of fun for the more experienced.
there used to be a spot up past harveynorman in that new area, could be worth a look if they haven't built there yet.

i'll poke my nose around when i ride home after work over the next week.

I was just gonna do a loop for the first ride (Old Mountain Road LimeworksTriboy Road kinda thang).
Then maybe we can have a skills session (riding/bike prep) in the future.

I'd be keen for a ride tomorrow but i have to work, could be keen for one on Sunday if anyone is going anywhere

[mikemike104]

Waikato adv types, your assistance required.

Doing the 42nd with a mate next Saturday, I'm no mechanic but I figured I need to be able to fix a flat if the need occurs, bought a new rear tire, tools, watched a bunch of you tube etc..

I can do my own oil & filter changes but I've never done a tire / tube change.. I get the rear off the Transalp after work today, I broke the bead all the way around on both sides, I started at the valve, I can get maybe 15-20 cms off the rim (on one side) but I'm left with zero room for more spoons (cant even pick up the edge of the tire still inside the rim to work with) thus am unable to get any more off.. any ideas / tips?

Cheers

Mike

Have two spoons in, chose one to work with a third, let that spoon drop back in like you're leting the tyre edge back in; this will give you room/less tightness to use the 3rd spoon.... The 3rd spoon will now be what your 2nd was... Repeat until the tyre is loose.

Make any sence? Someone else will explane better probably... (Well definitely)

Oh and make sure the first spoon doesn't move.... Get its arm under a spoke.

Oh and this is so of topic you're in real trouble:bleh:

[mikemike104]

Seems my main issue was bad technique (nobody saw that coming right??)

Once I got about 20cm's off one side I pulled the rear of the tire towards me and was able to easily slide the rest off.. Ahhh, the sweet smell of learning :brick:

Sounds like a nice flexy one.... Some you have to work for ages. Glad you got it. Have fun on the 42nd.

[dino3310]

Hey Mike i always start with 3 irons:niceone: and i also use crc for the lube, but theres a tire thread where all can be answered.
theres a few of us around so if ya get stuck one of us could pop round, be warned my xr rims are marked to f#ck from my tire changing :lol:

so whats this 42nd ride.... kaituna and others are keen to get down there at some stage, could be a chance to hook up down there

[Danger Dave]

I could leave that one till Sunday if you'd like to go that way.

So whats the plan? Is anyone else keen to tag along?

[oneblackflag]

Well we could meet in Pirongia at the gas station around 9, head over towards Kawhia then south down the coast. Haven't ben that way before so open to any route.

Sounds good, I've only been that way once but i'm not 100% where to go but it could be fun trying to get lost um i mean not get lost :cool:

It seems to have settled down apart from Kieth and the ADVRider Reject from Akld still trying to get a rise.
Pretty boring, actually.

The HMCC meeting was last Thurs (two for one beers at the bar!!!).
How's about getting together at the pub next week?
Friday after work(sucks)?

Or do you still have it buried in the garage with the DR...

[Waihou Thumper]

Funny that 2 1L bottle thing, My DR (that Dino also owned once) came with 2 1L reserve fuel cans mounted at the back, as the fuel range is around 500ks on the standard 29litre tank I"m unsure where in NZ you would have call for that :shit:

500 kms my arse......Especially the way you ride 'em
And I owned after Dino...try riding a 1000 km day around the east Cape......You might need it.

I'd take at least part of that as a compliment, I think on the road I get at least 17kpl so thats 493km's with 29L plus a bit in the carb & fuel hose I'd be close, guess I'd have to fit your bottles back on to find out for sure though (took them to cut back weight but will admit they were cute ) and from my last East Cape ride on the KTM after missing a fuel stop I rolled into the gas station with no gas at 350ks (took 22 litres to full on a 22L tank) so am unsure what you'd want the other 100 + k's for ?:confused:

Just checked and according to the manual reserve is 7 litres so you were doing near on 20km/L as you returned (on your Wiakato ADV ride:msn-wink:) meaning you could have ridden another 140ks, total ks before using the whisky and bourben bottles 557ks :banana:

I also hope to get to the north end of the Hokianga, small settlement there...
Then there is the ride down the beach at Houhora......(best video to music, that one...) I recall three riders hitting that beach a little while ago. :)
Plus a few others...
Loose plans, but I will be keeping away from local haunts...

Let's not start pointing fingers mainly coz it was my cock up....

[Oscar]

So I left home at 5.30 and there was a thunder storm with lightening over by Te Pahu. On the way in I saw there was another storm coming in from Morrinsville. By the time I got to the gas station on Lincoln Street it was tipping down.

So against my better judgement I kept going to the club. Igot there about five to six and sheltered from what I assumed was some sort of publicity stunt for Mr Crowe's new movie. Much to my surprise in the next few minutes two guys turned up. One was on a 1200GS and the other was on a F650 Scarver!


So I told Murray and Barry that they were now officially hard bastards (well 'ard!), and sent them home.
The rest of you cahnts are wimps...

Went by myself as I couldnt make the group ride tomorrow. Left Hamilton for National Park at 6am - :cold:

After eating at The Station Cafe in National Park I made my way to the start of the 42nd, I was anxious at first to be honest, didn't know what to expect! The first 3rd was the hardest (mountin - owhango direction), the going got easier after that 3rd crossing or so. Wouldnt go the opposite way.. far to slippery and steep for the Transalp!

Met 3 groups of locals on the first 3rd of the track, all in 4wd's, they basically said same thing "You're going the whole way, on that?" One guy gave me a earful on safety, telling me I should turn around as somebody got choppered out last weekend after breaking a collerbone, rich coming from him becuase he looked like he'd just had 3 cones and jumped in this hilux, he and his passenger were wasted as.. Also past 3 ppl on mountin bikes, I know I had a two hundred something kilo motorcycle to deal with but looking at them made me think I'd made the right choice.

What an amazing ride, I really enjoyed it. Absolutely beautiful, not too techinical but a couple tricky bits to help keep your eye in. I was home by 3pm :scooter:

I'm thinking of going down to the No way in Hell enduro at Waipa (wherever waipa is..) on monday to spectate. It's all subject to weather and if I get the final drive re-assembled in time plus a few other things, I should have a handle on the bike re-assembly by thursday night.
Anyway, I'm sure there are some gravelly bits between here and Waipa and there may actually be a plan but probably not until sunday at the earliest.







In hindsight that probably isn't particularly helpful, I promise to refund your deposit if nothing actually occurs. :innocent:

Might give it a ride tomorrow....
I spent over 9 hours cleaning her, lubricating her and replacing some bolts with KTM bolts I have....
One thing I have trouble with, I cannot for the life of me take off the rear wheel?
Stuck big time!

Anyway, lovely bike, also had a side stand issue once lubricated...(funny, wasn't there before)
I had somehow in my dedication snapped one of the wires...(Brown)...
Had to do some re-routing, all good now.

I must say, the motor is spectacular for a LC4 400.
I have one niggle with the speedo. There is a resident spider and web dead, cannot get him out without disconnecting speedo and going through all of that palava..
The thing is, I did thing of drilling a hole and trying to get it out via tweezers? Might just live with it, name the bike.....Incy Wincy....? :)

Hi Nic, at a leisurely pace Kawhia to Port Waikato is around 4 hours.

No difference in North to South or South to North,allthough there are 2 different gravel routes you can take from Te Akau to P/W and I rate them as good as each other.
Enjoy the ride, wish i could join you but still got the sling on for another 3 weeks.

Reminds me of an incident on the afore mentioned roads some time ago,

An unnamed riding was doing a leisurely pace and overcooked it around a tight left hander, upon approaching to see if he was alright he quickly remounting and sped off into the dust (I'm pretty sure he was afraid of being overtaken) :shit:

Phew, leisurely pace, sure :no:

PS, KTM still has the stone chips as evidence to the event :laugh:

Years of experience with navigational equipment lead me to ID that model as a Garmin GPSMap 60Cx. That's also what is written clearly on the front of it in the pic :rolleyes: :Pokey:
Like Rosie's newer 62 model they are good cos they'll do topmaps as well as street routing.

In the weekend I made some sweet jumps with the digger under the pretence of erosion control. Might be summer before the main loop is dry enough to be adv bike friendly again though.

Saw the surgeon yesterday and got my sling and brace off.:woohoo:

Quite a relief after nearly 4 months. :violin:
Only another 3 months now and I will be allowed back on the bike.

Counting down..................

The 510 has gone to a new home, may look at something a bit tamer when I am fully fit again.

Hi Col, good to hear you are on the mend also :2thumbsup.

Are you back at work now ??

I was hoping to have been mobile for the MMMMM ride but that now seems a bit optomistic.:weep:


Will have to see if a certain bunch of Naki Lads are going to do a Cape to Cape ride this year, pretty keen for that seeing as how I broke myself 2 weeks before last years ride.:brick:

Save up those pingers Dino, because i have 2 epic rides planned.

1. Based out of Te Awamutu and including Tokoroa and Pureora forests staying 1 night in taumarunui
( Need some low river levels for this one so maybe later in the spring early summer )

2. Far north ride ( Dargaville ) with a bit a forestry alot of beaches and sand dunes, this would be a 2 nighter and
has some awesome ex international rally roads

Then there is also the dirty weekend in the 42nd traverse that never happened last year plus i have also been planning in my head a coromandel ride finishing at our bach in pauanui.

Dont know who is going to do all the work at home next summer as I plan to be either riding or fishing every weekend to make up for this year.:bleh:

[Shewolf]

These all look mint, I'm getting back into riding after a stint babysitting...looks like another thumper joining the DR soon yeehaa!

Thinking about maybe doing this on Sunday as going south is chilly

or given that this is a Waikato Forum how about this?

https://www.google.co.nz/maps/dir/Bo...-36.964225!3e0


If anybody is interested in joining me on either route PM me and I will send you my mobile....planning on an early start but I am pretty relaxed about how the day might unfold and I will wing the route onthe day- assuming I have a say:-)

[Keithf]

I would be keen on joining in on the far north jaunt and if headed down towards pouto might be able to get some access to some of the forestry etc and some local knowledge

cheers

I'm intending on spending some time fitting my new starter motor to the R80 and reassembling it tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get it to a stage where I can take it for a run down the street.

In about another month I will emerge from the bike riding drought (house selling / buying / work stuff) so our place half way up north is available for the Dargaville trip Mark, I think I can still remember those roads too....
