Any other young North Shore guys (or girls)?

[DanielM8]

Hi, 19 year old learner rider wondering if there's any others my age on here on the north shore that some time in the next few months might want to get together for a ride just locally...won't be doing the highway for a while.. nothing against the oldies BTW :)

No luck mate, no one under 60 left on this site:ride:

Gosh darn it all! Sadly I'm too old and my bike doesn't have a reverse :weep:

[slofox]

I was 19...once. Can't seem to remember when though. :scratch:

Slofox seems to be really embracing old age. Hope you're not like the old guys in a car doing 40km.h when you're out on your bike . Would get run over doing that on a bike ;)

Cant wait until I am old enough to be allowed to ride one of them mobility scooter things around the footpaths, I have a 2 stroke 125 engine waiting to go in it. Im gonna take it down the local skate park and scare the fuck out of all the baggy pant wearing homies.:devil2::Punk::Punk:

40km/hr? You might like to add a digit or two in front of that...:devil2:

What like 0.40kph?:innocent:

Not sure it'd go that slow. I'll try it and see!

Dont strain yourself there fella, you would have to be pushing the bike to go that slow.:devil2:

[slofox]

It pushes quite easily. That's why I like light bikes - and I can pick it up when I fall off (at 0.40km/hr).

I'm more than twice your age Bosslady and I still don't feel old (apart from in the mornings of course...:blah:).

But I'd have to say that I feel youngest on the motorbike. (Or on the dance floor actually come to think of it - but the bike is better.)

I know I'm only 19 but.. me too! My family jokes about me going to end up doing that but I tell them its no joke!

[DanielM8]

Was pretty sure you were joking until I saw your post in the biker dating thread. I wasn't really looking for anybody but, for you .... I will say I am definitely NOT on the market. :)

Cool do you ever head over North for a ride? Could be interesting in the near future. I see you're a graphic designer.. I'm a web developer myself.

[Angel_of_Metal]

There are a few of us, Juniper would match your requirements exactly, although I am just in Grey Lynn and always happy to go for a ride around the shore as well :)

Cool, good to know. I'll post up here when I decide I'm ready to get out with a few other riders! For now.. I best concentrate on my own ability, I think. :)

Yea, do more desktop publishing really, but have a general background in digital design including some web design.

Cool, well post up on here or flick me a PM. Don't usually head over to the shore to ride, seeing as I live 10 mins away from Maraetai and Kawakawa Bay but I'm usually keen for a ride on the weekend, wherever that may be.

[sedub]

I could be keen for a ride sometime, I'm 19 as well, been riding for about 6 months.

I live in the central suburbs so I can pop over to the shore pretty easily whenever

[Juniper]

Young ish and a girl!

[Juniper]

I really need to browse the forums more.

Even though its been over a month lol. How are you going?

Everyone learns quicker than this lass. So you'll be passing me!!

Lol. Haven't taken up any offers on here yet. Cool to know so many are there for group rides. I'm slowly learning the skills... slowly. I stalled it doing a u-turn up a hill yesterday.. you gotta wonder why I even tried that.

How's the learning going for you?

The only way you are going to learn, is by doing it. We all stalled on hills when we first started, and even people who have been riding for years, can stall on a hill. You only fail when you give up trying.:Punk::Punk:

Too true, my friend. I'm really glad of the fact that it's the first time I've stalled it in about a month. Last time was also doing a u-turn.. but I'll keep trying until I get them, after all.. each attempt is better than the last. :)

What you doing today? The weather is too good to be inside.

Wana come to a carpark with me? I need to practice some stuff too.

I can come ride over to you if you want. The Samsung carpark is big, empty and locked off..

Thanks for the ride and the tips, me and Jeremy both had fun and learnt a bunch. We should go on a real ride some time when Jeremy gets his "cute 125" going and me and him get licensed. :)

Thats the spirit, you will look back on these days in the future and wonder what you were worrying about.:niceone:

Heaps of us riders on the shore, they seem to have gone into hiding for some reason though.

I'm still too coward at this point and haven't got enough warm gear for the ride out south, I'll be heading to SASS when I'm more experienced.. I'm also on a 125 at the moment but I'm looking at buying a 250 so I can keep up

too coward for what? can you go 100kmph? and as long as you have the basics clothing wise, don't worry about the "cold" it's no different to what you'd experience at nass.

I havent tried motorway riding yet. Juniper took me on a ride up North and that's the most out there I've gotten apart from suburban rides. The 125 tops out at 90 anyway.. so I don't think I'll be heading over the bridge and out south until I get more experience under my belt.. maybe next month or something though

I'm 23, living in Mt Albert but can frequent the shore as I'm close to the motorway.
Riding a hornet 250. Been riding every day for a year now, still on L's but R in a month or so. (Not that it makes any difference).

Frequently have Sundays and Mondays off work so these are really the only days I'm avail until summer when its light until 9pm.

Anyone keen on a ride??!!

Hey! We should go for a ride some time. Although, your experience level is probably a lot beyond mine.. I've been riding for 1 month, 3 weeks now.

I gotta agree with the above post.. night time is not that bad at all! I prefer it over rain, though. It just means focusing more of your attention on those things that are really important such as hazard ID'ing so you know what's going on around you, even if you can't actually see it for yourself.

I'm always up for a cruise. On a Hornet 250, had it a year but ony ridden for 3 months due to being sent to the US for 8 months of work. Just got back and keen to upskill again :headbang:

[hornetakl]

Yeah night riding is not so bad, riding during the day is just more enjoyable!
Ah thats alright, I started just riding through the suburbs and didnt even go on the motorway until I was riding for around 2 months!

I'm sure that others have said this to you before (as has been told to me several times as well) make sure that stuff stays away from your tires.

I use a car plastic wax. And beeswax on the seat. Makes the leather come up nice and it tacky enough to hold your seating position without effort

I'll have a better clue this avo.

Do East Coast to silverdale maybe the toll payment stop? Dan want to join?

[hornetakl]

Yeah I could be in on that!

Of course I keep it away from my tyres haha!
Its not so great on the seat... very slidey.

Props for being up so early :zzzz:

Edit: East coast through to shakespeare could be good??

80-90 is full throttle on a 125.. It was literally wide open throttle :P It stopped revving up at 8k .. I Wonder if its rev limited.

It actually does glow that much, it's really noticable even in daylight.
