AKL Photo session II

[Big Dave]

Aff-man has been on my case to photograph him on his new pride and joy - we'll have a go this Saturday if the weather is suitable.
Suggest we might head out to Clevedon/Monument hill area again and find some nice corners for some ride bys and action shots.

Few people said they would be interested if we did it again.
We're after this sort of thing:

[Big Dave]

Would it make it better for you 'I've got to workers' and voters if we made it after lunch? I'm free all day.

(Weather forecast is not too flash at this stage either.)

[bugjuice]

saturday looks to be 'showers', sunday looks to be hacking down.. yay.
xbix it is then.. postie............

[Devil]

Yer, weather is looking a little gay. If its not gay, i'll be off test riding anyway :D

[loosebruce]

Ya can still pull wheelies in the wet, so no problem here. Whatever time suits me Dave, whats all this voting crap people going on about, is an election coming up??????

[enigma51]

I will see you on saturday big dave

[aff-man]

Naa don't change the time. It said rain and showers and shit last time and ended up being fine. :woohoo:


But if you do just post.... Cheers

[Karma]

First time out with you KB folks, but Mission Bay is my back yard, so I'll be there.

[bugjuice]

how do ya do that..? I've tried and just get mental wheelspin. Doesn't matter how soft or firm or whatever I try.. just spins up.. tips?

[aff-man]

how do ya do that..? I've tried and just get mental wheelspin. Doesn't matter how soft or firm or whatever I try.. just spins up.. tips?

ditto............

[crashe]

What about getting a cruiser in the shots...

Mind you it depends on whether I get my boots back...
They are being resoled at the moment...
Hope to pick them up by Saturday morning at the latest.

plus it also depends on the weather as well...

[Big Dave]

Scattered showers turning to rain Saturday afternoon or evening.

At this stage it's go then - will confirm at 9.00am ish.

[SuperDave]

Hey Dave, any chance of you attending the Pukekohe open day on Friday the 23rd?

[Zed]

how do ya do that..? I've tried and just get mental wheelspin. Doesn't matter how soft or firm or whatever I try.. just spins up.. tips?On power without clutch on a modern 600 or 1000 you can wheelie with a tug on the bars in the wet! :hitcher:

[Big Dave]

Hey Dave, any chance of you attending the Pukekohe open day on Friday the 23rd?

It's possible - yep. Depends on the workload and all - but i've been skiiving off most fridays lately.

[Damon]

Hey guys, can anyone give us an idea of the weather for where we're ment to be going today? i cant quite see that far :blip:

[BigB]

Hi Guys

I might join you as I'd be keen to get some photo's of the 'New' bike :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

see you there.

Brian

[Big Dave]

Weather is borderline - but at this stage we are on.
If it turns sour earlier than forecast we'll postpone till next sat.

[Damon]

sweet, see you at 10.30

[crashe]

13 of us meet up at Mission Bay.....

We all rode off to Papakura to gas up...
A couple of us had trouble getting the petrol machine to actually work...

I left them at the gas station to head home as my lower back was so sore....
so 12 headed out to get some lovely snapshots of their bikes.

[Karma]

I was running late, got to Mission Bay carpark at around 10:48 and everyone had gone :cry:

[White trash]

Mint stuff, big thanks to Big Dave. Gotta have big kahunas standing at the side of the road while a bunch of adrenalin charged throttle jockeys come hooning towards ya.

Mind you, who the fuck's gonna want to crash into you?

Had a nice leisurley ride after that, lost half the group, "lets go back the way we came" 'round a bend and here they are, one having a little lie dwn and a rest and a very saturated bike covered in mud. No bad injuries, I'll let tose that saw it post comments.

Now I feel like I've got the flu bad. Nice.

[justsomeguy]

'round a bend and here they are, one having a little lie dwn and a rest and a very saturated bike covered in mud. No bad injuries, I'll let tose that saw it post comments.

Here we go again....... no I'm not being sarcastic:shutup:

[White trash]

I'd say who it was but I don't knw is name. The headlights on his bike are full of water too, they had to get a tractor to get it out of the swamp.

[Marmoot]

great stuff. Nice to ride with ya, WT.
Glad it didnt rain (much)...

Looking forward to the pics :sunny:

[dveus]

Not so full of water now, tis all leaking out into my van.

[Keystone19]

Not so full of water now, tis all leaking out into my van.

Ok, what happened...?

[justsomeguy]

Not so full of water now, tis all leaking out into my van.

So it was you ........ come on man - you can't hate the poor thing so much.:calm: Why did you try to drown it......:sweatdrop

EDIT : Are you ok??:doctor:

[White trash]

It wasn't Dveus, he was just the good bastard that went back and picked up the waterlogged bike.

[White trash]

great stuff. Nice to ride with ya, WT.
Glad it didnt rain (much)...

Looking forward to the pics :sunny:

Nice riding with you too mate. You and the SP seem to get on very well.

[dveus]

Wasn't me, I was just the bike transport man. I'll let the guy tell his side of things when he comes online.

[Keystone19]

T'was a fun morning.

Mighty relieved that the crash happened after I left you all. At least then I can take no responsibility for being there when it happened. Would hate to think that these things always happen when I'm around!

Hope he's ok.

[Zed]

Ok, what happened...?The young guy on his multi-coloured ZXR250 took a corner too hot and went wide into the gravel and lost it into a country drain full of sewage, someone took a pic of it in there so hopefully will post it up. I hope the rider is ok, he had a good spirit about him and his only complaint was a sore ankle?

Four of us were at the castle on SH2 waiting for more to meet up with us but they never came, so we departed for home the same route we had come and found the rest of the group 15 mins up the road...

Good on ya Dveus for grabbing your van for the rescue!

I had a great ride, thanks Dave for the organisation and pics, looking forward to seeing them. Enjoyed the wheelie practise!

Missed most of the rain except the last 40mins before arriving home, otherwise had dry weather, bit windy though!

Until next time...:wavey:

[White trash]

Gotta say also, it was a jolly nice group to be a part of today. Good feeling all round, I think I was the only wanker there.

[justsomeguy]

Thanks for the info - it was really educational.:hitcher:

[Zed]

I think I was the only wanker there.Lol, *most* of us didn't think that mate! :psst:

[aff-man]

Cheers guys it was fun.

Gotta work on that one wheel action though...... give it time give it time.

[Big Dave]

It wasn't Dveus, he was just the good bastard that went back and picked up the waterlogged bike.

Yep - big ups Dveus - i got home with a dry camera thanks to not having to wait cause you had it in hand. thank you.

processing the shots now - good results so far.

[aff-man]

Was just thinking dave. Someone else should bring a camera so we can get some shots of your ghostrider type self :bleh: :bleh:

[Big Dave]

WT - features in next teknic advert.

[White trash]

Bwahahaha, wait 'till the bikes owner sees that. Nice shot Dave, thanks.

[Keystone19]

Bwahahaha, wait 'till the bikes owner sees that. Nice shot Dave, thanks.

You should be ok, look at the number plate...

[Joni]

WT - features in next teknic advert. Thats a stunning Pic Dave... :niceone:

:not:

[justsomeguy]

WT - features in next teknic advert.

Why is he sticking his d!ck in the petrol tank??

[White trash]

Coz it's my dick, and my mate said I could. If you could, I bet you would.

[justsomeguy]

Coz it's my dick, and my mate said I could. If you could, I bet you would.

Err...

So what your saying is that you rely on your mate to tell you what to do with your dick??

[Big Dave]

Thats a stunning Pic Dave... :niceone:

:not:

Cheers - the rider's skill is passable too.

So what about the number plate issue in the wheelie shots. Do you want me to block them out, not publish any showing plates or don't worry about it - advice pls.

[Marmoot]

So what about the number plate issue in the wheelie shots.

I don't really worry. Either way works for me.

Nice pic of WT...I still couldn't stop laughing.... :)

[White trash]

Just smudge 'em mate, or whatever's easiest for you. Doesn't really matter as it was all performed on a private road anyway.

[Keystone19]

So what about the number plate issue in the wheelie shots. Do you want me to block them out, not publish any showing plates or don't worry about it - advice pls.

Doesn't bother me Dave, so long as I'm not doing anything illegal... :whistle:

[juzzer]

Surprised nobody took this piss with my early 90's gay looking leathers.....

[Big Dave]

Doesn't bother me Dave, so long as I'm not doing anything illegal... :whistle:

You're just looking so good it's criminal girl. Roll on leather and spandex days!

[White trash]

Leathers are leathers man. At least they're farkin good quality.

And, if we had to take the piss outta your leathers, we'd hae to give aff-man twice as much shit for his and his hair cut.


THEN, people would feel the need to take the piss outa my sparkly leathers and we're just not going there. It's been done to death.

[Keystone19]

Surprised nobody took this piss with my early 90's gay looking leathers.....

Hey Juzzer, 'twas nice to meet you today...

They are a bit pink aren't they...

[juzzer]

Good to meet the tribe today, think it's called magenta not pink.......
Perhaps a mullet growing comp, keep the westies feeling good about themselves ;)

[Keystone19]

Argghhhh, nooooo, I like the pink, really I do...

[juzzer]

Perhaps i could get some sparkly leathers like Trash and add some fairy wings....

[Big Dave]

Thanks again to all for a great day.

Some (well one) of us could have had better days - that bike in the ditch like that is a pretty sad sight.

Anybody heard how he is?

[BigB]

Hi Guys

Thanks for a great day, the new bike now has 140km on it, and I've got a big smile.

cheers :drinknsin

[juzzer]

Hope the young fella is ok - and the smell from the ditch doesnt last to long.....

[dveus]

Hope the young fella is ok - and the smell from the ditch doesnt last to long.....

Have just had a txt from him saying that its just a sprained ankle. As for the smell I've just spent the last hour cleaning the van, tis back to its normally only slightly smelly self now.

[aff-man]

yeh he wasn't in to bad shape. Just a bit muddy with a hurt ankle. Thanks to Mr friendly farmer with the tractor (shown in pic) he says in the summer there is at least 1 a months minimum at that corner

[SPman]

So, young Dan binned it, eh? He'd just spent a bit on that bike, too.

[Zed]

Hi Guys

Thanks for a great day, the new bike now has 140km on it, and I've got a big smile.

cheers :drinknsinGood choice in bike too!! I hope those double-Bird shots come out. :ride: :ride:

Btw, was your headlight intentionally on high beam most of the time today? If not, they may be out of alignment?

[boomer]

Sorry to hear you binned it mate, i hope your ok?! And i hope your backs better Crashe!

Thanks for the run out guys, nice to meet one or two of you and have big Dave peer down at me :2thumbsup

Some moments to remember; The two SP1's Rumbling side by side; The kick ass tricks on 1 wheel; and seeing that gixxer (k4?) fly through that corner ready for some photo's.

Thanks for letting me take up the rear ( you note i missed out the 'it' ) :scooter:

[White trash]

She's a lowly K2 that one. With a pogo stick with no oil for a rear shock.

[boomer]

Goes to show how much i know 'bout scooters huh :sherlock:

Well, pogo stick or not you rode her well .... one day i'll be confident enough to be smooth on the corners so i dont have to give her heaps to catch up on the straights :not:

[crashe]

And i hope your backs better Crashe!

Cheers..
Yep when I got home after voting I had a wee lie down on the couch...
almost feel asleep... while watching some dvd's.
It still feels a bit stiff and sore...

[Phenoix]

Just a note. SP, the name Ben, not Dan :P
Yea, have spent alot on it now, got more to go to :crybaby: :crybaby:
Thanks to all those that stopped and helped.
ANd for the photos

[White trash]

Must say young Phenoix, that was one tidy looking ZXR, sorry it had to end up in a ditch like that. Cool paint job.

[juzzer]

Hey boomer good to meet you today, careful about talk taking up the rear, Trash likes putting his dick in the tank.....

[SPman]

Beggers can't be choosers........

[White trash]

Beggers can't be choosers........

Nope. And neither can buggerers.

Y'know, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were having a wee dig there.

[boomer]

[White trash]

Ohhhh I don't know, I've seen some pretty sexy Hondas in my time.

[boomer]

Nope. And neither can buggerers.

Y'know, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were having a wee dig there.

Well she is only a lowly k2 :bleh:

[juzzer]

Nope. And neither can buggerers.

Y'know, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were having a wee dig there.

Nah, no dig at all, just like yr style.....

[White trash]

That's why I said "if I didn't know better"

You'll have to get out on more rides with us, there's some freaky shit to be seen on two wheels, and folks with leathers a hell of alot gayer than ours.

[juzzer]
