Saturday 3rd SH22 Ride

[loosebruce]

Sup ya'll.

With my finances not letting me goto the Coldkiwi or the Manfeild Track Day :mad: Think i'll go for a blast down 22 and the likes instead.

Meeting: AB Papakura 9:30am - Leave 10:00am

Down to Nga........that place and back via the back roads back onto 22, we turn off 22 just after ............ (edit later once i know the place) and goto Mercer then up some back roads, that take us to SH2 for a short while, then down the roads to Hanua way and back to Akld.

All riders welcome, people will wait for the slower ones or is that the ones that stay legal when riding? At all major turn offs so no one gets lost. If you get to a turn off and no one is there, carry on straight ahead.

There will be the usual one wheel antics and people going ever so slightly above the open road speed limit :innocent: so any problems with that you can direct calls to my p.a. 0800GIVESAFUCK.

Ride to your own ability, it's not a race (maybe), if you are putting a pass on someone please do it safetly and stuff it up the inside etc. And enjoy the day. Hang on dont just stuff it up the inside.

See you there :ride:

[sarg]

great ride Bruce
U did well in organising and keeping the group together
was good to meet new faces

Cheers Jon and Kerry

[Zed]

Thanks for taking the initiative to organise the ride today Bruce, we had superlative weather for it! :niceone:

Despite my detour to Botany Honda to fix my bike at the beginning, I was very happy to be able to continue riding and come down and meet you all before Ngaruawahia on SH22.

Good sized group today, was pleasant to meet some more KBers for the first time and ride with some familiar faces!

It was a buzz for me to see 3 Blackbirds on this ride, not bad out of the 10 bikes present, and one KB lurker turned up on his K5 Gixxer1000 which I drooled over...had to ask if I could sit on it! :love:

The infamous 22 road was fairly dirty which covered our pretty bikes in dirt & dust, and a number of corners had gravel on them which made for some extra excitement! :pinch: Most of the other back roads we rode on were in great condition, and I enjoyed the route we took back thru Mercer and onto SH2, Hunua, Bombay, Runciman Rd, back to boring old SH1.

My bike has now been washed thoroughly and the battery is on the charger...another much needed weekly riding fix accomplished! :ride:

[2_SL0]

Great ride. Well organised LB :2thumbsup better warn tomorrows ride about that little gravel patch on top of the hill. Not well signposted. :nono:

[motobob]

and one KB lurker turned up on his K5 Gixxer1000 which I drooled over...had to ask if I could sit on it! :love:

Hey Matt i had a spin on a K5 thou Gixxer yesterday. What an awesome machine, made my 6 Hundy feel about as fast as a Push bike. Ha ha eat yah heart out. Might get a thou yet though a bit early for my ability.

CHEERS

[The_Dover]

Cheers LB, it was an awesome day! I'm the lurker on the K5 by the way. Good to meet all you guys today and I'm sure I'll meet more of you next ride.

[Zed]

Cheers LB, it was an awesome day! I'm the lurker on the K5 by the way. Good to meet all you guys today and I'm sure I'll meet more of you next ride.Good to meet ya 2day mate, and to be able to show you some of our fine roads! Keep coming to rides and learning to master that mean machine you have there. :Punk:

Welcome to KiwiBiker btw TD!

[trev]

Top Points LB for a great day & a great ride. You kept us rounded up nicely - were you a sheep dog in a previous life ??
Mind you sheep dogs don't herd you on their back legs only & do rolling
stoppies looking under their armpits to make sure you are following !!
There were some schizzy bikes there too.

[Marmoot]

great ride!
me happy!
thank you!

...and after 1km swim in the afternoon, me knackered

[loosebruce]

Glad you guys had a good ride today, good to meet some new faces as always, spesh The Dover, mmm K5 me want, see you out thera again soon mate, what fantastic weather, dont know what i'll do if it gets any hotter though.
Road as Zed said was a little messy in places and that patch of gravel, uh yeah well came up on me pretty quick, kept it upright which is the main thing.
the back roads were in great condition though and had a good run home after leaving Mercer.
Shame Mattt and devus had to turn back 1/4 way along, got shit to do so cant blame ya, missed out on a good un, but on ya for getting out in the first place.

Hey Brutal Gixer where the hell you get up to??? becasue of you bloody blackbirds out numbered the GSXR's, .............blackbirds, wtf, never in my life have i been so ashamed, better not let it happen again.

Cheers all for the ride, till next time.

[zadok]

Sounds like you guys had a great ride. Did anyone take any pics?

[Zed]

Sounds like you guys had a great ride. Did anyone take any pics?I can't recall anyone using a camera bro? I would have taken mine but my whole underseat storage compartment measuring 200x150x75mm was taken up!

[zadok]

Hey Matthew, you haven't got that mic yet?

[Zed]

Hey Matthew, you haven't got that mic yet?Not yet Marty! :spudbn:

[The_Dover]

I did take a couple of pics on my phone at the BP down at Ngaruawahia, here is the better of the two.

Certainly was an eye-opening group of choice sportsbikes...pleasure to ride with y'all.

[Yokai]

I had fun too - thanks Mr LooseBruce - that was a lovely little run. Glad you kept it upright over that gravel patch... Yuck - I was only pootling and thought - F*** me! ... (but then, I'm a fraidy cat really)

First time I'd seriously ridden the bike since the rain started... so that was nice.

Nice to meet some new people too (although I left at Ngaruthingy...) good riding wit' ya!

[Motu]

Heh,heh,timely edit Quasi!

[Yokai]

So where'd you find your fuel cap key?
I didn't - I had to go to Smiths in Ponsonby, had them pick the lock and then adjust the barrel of the lock to fit the iggo... COOOL!!! way cheaper than a new petrol cap!
