Fat Bikers Hit the 'Naki - Saturday 7 February 2015

[Fatt Max]

You are all welcome to join the Fat Bikers as we celebrate our 5th Birthday at our annual FATOI, this year in New Plymouth.

Yes indeed folks, if you fancy a ride and a feed then come along with clean undies, a loose belt and a full tank of gas.

So, put that pie down, kick the farm animals out and brace yourself, here's the deal you sexy beasts....

Meeting Time 9.00am

Where? The Deluxe Diner, 36 Leach Street, New Plymouth. We will be scoffing some brekkie here so keep your bowels empty and have your rusty greased.


Once we are fed, watered, burped, farted and ‘evacuated’ it will then be time to saddle up and hit the
road.


We have a ride planned which is all up aboutt three hours road time plus a lunch stop in between taking in some of the sights, sounds and smells of the Naki. Now as we all know there are many
things that can change on the day (apart from my undies and bad guts) so the exact route will be sorted at brekkie.


Needless to say we will be riding along some of the most picturesque and amazing roads NZ has to offer and there will be plenty of opportunity for photo and gas stops along the way.


Pace wise this will be, as all FBMC rides are, cruisy and enjoyable. Its not a track meet or a race, its an opportunity to ride as a group and enjoy the freedom and beauty of the road. If anyone does feel like breaking off and going for a blat then that’s cool too, we will meet you along the way somewhere. If you get lost however, then that’s your problem and something we will laugh and laugh at (and something you may very well get fined for….).


Hang on, im getting peckish, must be lunchtime…..


Lunch

By now we will all be fading away into our leathers so its time to stop and fill up the gut tank again.


We are booked into the Treehouse Bar in New Plymouth at 1pm for a feed. It’s a great looking venue and they are looking forward to hosting us. The main menu on their website and they also do bar snacks as well if a full lunch is not putting the jam in your doughnut. Check out what they have to offer on their website which is http://treehousebar.co.nz/


The plan is to have a nice leisurely lunch to recharge the batteries for the evening get together.


Fatoi 2015 social

For those of you that fancy it we will be having a social get together at FBMC FATOI HQ which is the Top 10 Holiday park in New Plymouth. Time for some dinner, some boozing, some laughing and some joking….yes indeed it’s the FATOI birthday bash social.

Grub will be a bar b of sorts (chip in for the food) and bring your own booze

Same as previous years, we get together and enjoy each other’s company and wind down after a long day doing the FATOI thing. This year, however, the FBMC are introducing a new element of fun, frivolity and downright embarrassment in the shape of the Fat Bikers Fines.

Yes indeed, Lippy our Sherriff for the day will be seeing and watching all over the course of the last 36 hours and will have the notebook crammed with your most obvious (and not so obvious) faux pa’s, mistakes, oppsies and down right balls ups. These will be mercilessly shared with the rest of us and, just to rub it in hard and slippery, cost you a gold coin.

Although you may have the opportunity to appeal, Lippy has the final call so make sure you have some spare change with you. All the money collected in fines will be given to a worthy cause which we can decide on the night.

And then, its time for the annual Fatt Max awards. This year no expense has been spared with the quality and size of the medals on offer. There are 5 to be won and anyone can be a winner. Bribery, all though not allowed, is certainly encouraged if you want to get your pinkies on some fine FBMC bling.

Drinks done, food eaten, piss taken and big sloppy snogs all round and thats it done, another FATOI all over with

Be great to see you, clothing is optional....

Thought I'd do Ngaruawahia to Te Kuiti then peel off and come back. Not working Friday but am working Saturday.

[Fatt Max]

4 more sleeps............

[Fatt Max]

Now then, just a little change to the plan next Saturday. Due to a an Ironman event taking place in the New Plymouth area the Fat Bikers are insisting that ALL members attending this year's FATOI are to wear nothing but Lycra and speedo's....

Just kidding, dont head down to Rebel Sports just yet.

What it means is our lunch venue is now changed to the Stumble Inn located at 198 Mangorei Rd,Merrilands, New Plymouth .

Same sort of time (1-ish) for arrival and the menu is attached for your per-musement.....

All done, see you next weekend

[Murray]

4 more sleeps............

1 more sleep for you guys

Tossing up whether to meet up with you guys for a wee pootle at Ngarawahia or get to the pie shop before you guys :msn-wink::msn-wink:

Post away me ol mate, whats the worst that can happen????????????? oh yeah, I remember now, that one of... te he he.
Awesome weekend away with great buggers who simply had a shit load of fun and enjoyed everyone's company. It takes all sorts to make a group and I reckon we've got a damn good one.
The Naki's weather was picture perfect, not to hot, not too cold, overcast with a bit of cloud on the way down, beautiful and yet cool on Saturday as we rode all around the Naki in convoy and did we enjoy those beautiful wide well cambered Naki corners.
Also naturally and of course enjoyed some damn fine grub at the Deluxe Diner in New Plymouth, beautifully decorated with 50's and sixty's Americana and staff who looked after us like royalty.
OK, who managed to get those two massive loaves of bread into their gunny sacks, the Bakery wants em back guys!
Then we had lunch at a place where we could have stayed all weekend, beautiful setting, indoor outdoor decks, landings and the best grub around at the Stumble Inn, also in New Plymouth for lunch.
The Top Ten Holiday Park deserves a mention too, clean and tidy, beautifully presented grounds, amenities and rooms, good staff and management were realistic when it came to a little problem I experienced with our 4 adult "bungalow" 10' x 8' room. Sorted that quick smart and all was well, go back there again no worries at all.
Mokau White bait Inn was gorgeous and their Truckies breakfast is the all time best I've ever experienced and I've experienced a few.
FBMC Birthday bash went off with a monumental Bang, all enjoyed their rides, their accommodation, their meals and their free time, the swimming pool got some incredible work outs what with 8 fatties in it at once chasing a suspiciously shaped and tipped inflatable Bossum! The Fatoi "Fitoi" it shall be remembered for all time as, most of us got out of that pool totally spent and then there was the exercise!
The local rag got a double work out, first being used to house Saturday nights fush and chups for the entire crew funded mostly by the Sheriffs fines on all and sundry for the smallest little digressions.
Then secondly as a kind of gloriously simply bike blanket, though i'm not sure ol Lethal thought it a good idea, perhaps a pic or two would better explain that situation.
Haven't had so much fun away with a bike group in a bloody long time, thanks to everyone who came along and I'm certain everyone went away smiling after the entire three days of relaxed socializing and exploring with good friends. New and old.
Oh there was one small slightly aggravated incident, seems a certain Hyobag sleep walks! Bwaa ha ha.
Sorry Maxi I was certain I'd carried it off perfectly only to be undune by that impish grin from the Lippy one.
Pity about Phreaks upcoming Stag do! aye mate???
Ride on people, done and dusted for another year, looking forward to next years beauty at the lake! Come one come all.

and not the end I was wanting to the ride.... a push start

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd316/leathel-one/IMG_9916-1.jpg (http://s222.photobucket.com/user/leathel-one/media/IMG_9916-1.jpg.html)

Starter motor died so I have another on its way, brushes toast, armature looking very sad so going new over a set of brushes

[caseye]

Don't know if Nonda did it the same as Yamaha, but the ol coal burner used to have a 2 brush armature with main line in and out thick as, pulled so much if your battery was even close to retirement it'd not start. I replaced it completely with a 4 brush one that had a built in relay and it spins it so fast on so little current you could start her with a 9volt battery.
Hope shes OK again soon mate.

[TheDemonLord]

Next year......

Looks like you guys had a blast
