Will see how the TL goes tomorrow, if its sweet may come out, would bring the GSXR but it's having a rest from me for the mo, but the TL doesn't need a rest now thats a real bike (sort of, theres not much bike left) but it does the trick.

Eh death maybe you can keep up for once :Pokey:

Since I didn't make it last Sunday I'll be up for a ride. Hopefully I will be on my new wheels. :stoogie:

Don't u think it would be a good idea to maybe make the leaving time 15-30min later. If it's a fine day there could be alot of riders there, don't bite my head off, just a suggestion :eek5:

Ya reckon mate, you better not put any mint fairings on the GSXR, as they'll fucked from the the bashing it'll take from the TL if you try and get past me :wacko:

But anyhow regarding the ride, i have to bail as well, took my GSXR up north today, so Sunday is spend with the missus day, and there's no way i can afford to get round the loop, maybe next weekend the coin will be more in favour.

Hope yous have a good un.

Thanks Guys.

Hey YOHSI. I found the bugger!! He carried on when we stopped @ Kopu Pub. He 'claims' that they (he wasn't the only one who was blind) stopped @ Mirinda turn-off and waited for 20 mins........ baaa. I got home and the bugger was already in the spa! :stupid: It wasn't sixpack I was looking for, it was the other ugly bugger! ;) BTW Very enjoyable day, we both look forward to the next. :2thumbsup

[Qkchk]

How often do you get to see 3 the same?

[HDTboy]

Who'd want one? You'd need to be a sheep to ride one of those

[Blackbird]

Must be you guys I saw parked at the top of the hill looking down on Mania Harbour - a great sight seeing you all. Unfortunately, I was coming back south from the bach in the car complete with wife and cats :doh: Never mind, I'll be be up there on Wednesday, this time on the Blackbird :rockon:

[Teflon]

Excellent ride, cheers people.

[Cary]

Cheers Jim,

Good ride and managed to get some gravel riding in to :banana:

[myvice]

Bit of humour!
Must get a new back tyre, drifting on a 250 only slows them down!
Had so much fun I had to do Twilight Rd on the way home...
Good to see so many bikes on what looked like a bit of an iffy day weather wise.

[N4CR]

Looks like I posted this in the wrong thread...
Double posted..

Ahh it was a great ride. Nice to see a fair amount of people turning up.
And of course the 'team milf racer' gareth_d and the 'independant racer' tristank managed to keep the bigger bikes honest again
We ahh.. don't compensate for anything

The rain got me a little worried but it stayed away. As BJ said it kept it not to hot but not too cool.

The yellow gixxer 1k crew were fucking confusing... who is who. Only thing I could realise was SPB having no stickers on the back - not that you notice when they rapidly disappear under power on a long sweeper

Some bumpier parts of the road were interesting - heard various conversations about how the arse's came out a few times... good to hear it was happening to everyone so I can't blame the tyres :P

Nice to meet some fresh faces - liam (doing friggen well for a 5 day newb O_o), teflon, madmax gsxr guy, one of the red/white cbr250's (whatsa your name again?), I think sazLEX (white vfr400..?) and a few others I can't quite remember.

My can of beans helped great on the straights, mr SPB aka beanman

p.s. gareth - soft tyres are for pussies
p/t

[Karma]

Was a really good ride, weather really picked up for the return leg.

Looking forward to another one soon, as long as I can feel my legs again.

Yeah, you boys on the 250's were the best riders i saw. Made a lot of people look silly.

[XTC]

Was a good day for sure. The twisty's were just perfect for the XT's. Thanks Jim and Gareth

[SPman]

pity I couldnt come to balance the yellow ones with another black one. Still, did 1700 km over the weekend and over the Rimutakas 3 times on Saturday!

[BigB]

Thanks for the ride guy's and girls. Had a great day and can't think of a better way the 'brake in' the blackbird. Hit 400k for the day just as I turned into home, and the butt knew it.

It's a shame I missed it, but we did the loop from Tauranga-Whangamata-Coroglen-Coromandel-Kopu-Whanga-Tauranga on Saturday with brilliant sunshine on the East side of the peninsular. :D We all had sore arses too. :shake:

2 Guzzi's, 2 Ducati's, 1 Triumph, 1 ZRX & 1 TRX all had a great day out. And check out my new accessory. :D

[R6_kid]

has anyone seen that nana :scooter: gareth the minute man or is he still out there tryin to catch a sheep :Playnice:

lol, didnt get you in the corners but i did manage to pass you on the straight :banana: :banana: :lol: :ar15: :shake:

also pissing tristan off by pushing his mirrors in riding along SH2 on the way back, i think those behind us had a good few laughs at tristan and my hooliganism (had to love that boy racer!)

Karl the one time you did scare me was when you sandwiched me between you and tristan, that wheelie up the hill on between tairua and kopu was mean, i think you were 30cm off my shoulder :rockon:

Personally had an awesome day, really enjoyed chasing the pack up from the back after having to sort out my zorst, that twisty stuff over from coromandel to whitianga is mint!

Apologies to anyone that i cutoff/passed close to, was enjoying it a bit too much to slow down for too long.

HDT that was my first ride with you and i gotta say you're a bit mental on that CBR. If i was keeping the ZXR i'd get it jetted/tuned to the pipe and then i'd have that little bit of extra power to match you on the straights :2thumbsup

Cheers to all who came, anyone wanna chip in for my new rear tyre :blink:

[Slim]

... tairua
Which reminds me ...



They're hotmixing the hills north of Tairua!!!! :niceone:

Yeah that new seal was fantastic.

as you all most took me out

[HDTboy]

Yeah, it hurts less when you crash a 250 and you can't die on one. Everyone knows that :whocares:

[Avignon]

That was a great days riding. Thanks to whomever organised it and to everyone who turned up for being so . . . er, nice. Memorable moments, include being overtake in the twisties by a CBR400 on a mission, only to later find out it was a 250, god it had a loud pipe, I swear it was straight open. The Yoshi gixxer hammering past followed by the 750 on the back wheel was memorable, especially as the cop coming head on the other way would have got a perfect view, you were after all, in his lane and you are a lucky bastard for not getting pulled. It was good to have you guys up front though, sweeping the road so to speak, esp on the run back to Miranda, 200+. Cheers. :msn-wink:

[Mr Skid]

Memorable moments, include being overtake in the twisties by a CBR400 on a mission, only to later find out it was a 250, god it had a loud pipe, I swear it was straight open. When you've got a sprotsbike that slow, you'll do anything for more power.

[HDTboy]

It's to warn the XT boys to move out of the way

[TLDV8]

Memorable moments, include being overtake in the twisties by a CBR400 on a mission, only to later find out it was a 250, god it had a loud pipe

I never got to that point,i was getting passed by the campervans in the twisties and the 250's were passing me on the straights :confused: :scooter: :rofl:

[Teflon]

and to be honest with you vtr man you almost got told you were the worst rider out there(in my opinon )

You should of mate, because i still don't know where i nearly took you out.

In my opinion, your quick in the staights, but thats about it.

The little red Bandit, yelling "Go faster damn you! Faster!"

[Teflon]

Without the boy's on the 250's i would have been bored. Watching the guy on the cbr 250 tapped out everywhere made me laugh, it was good to see.

[RiderInBlack]

Gives me a nice warm feeling watching bigger bikes disappearing in my mirrors... :Pokey: :devil2:So what feeling do you have when they are not?
The following is not about you Myvice, just a general rant:
Leaving Coro and going down hill I was having a hard time getting pass all the bikes not using their mirrors. I don't mind being past. I'll even make space for you if I see you gaining on me. But it fu*ks me off if I'm following a rider that's cornering slower than myself and I'm hard up their arse, and they don't make some room. If you were that good I wouldn't be that close to you. Make a hole and let the faster rider past. If you really are as fast as they are, then they won't get that far ahead of you. Most riders I let past soon slip away ahead of me, so there was no point in holding them back was there. End Of Rant.
All in all, still a fu*ken good ride.

[trev]

Sorry I'm so late getting some pics on but my camera & computer wouldn't talk to each other last night - even with Nakid1's best assistance. Something to do with 1.1 USB ports should be 2's.......???????
Nothing special recorded - first time with the camera & all but the good news is the camera survived the bin & I WILL GET BETTER>

Gotta be fun riding that beast tho

[motobob]

Yeah great shots Trev. :2thumbsup Next time we'll try to have matching yella and black leathers and helmets. I hope the others note that there are no 250's anywhere near us. They must have been busy picking on those other bigger bikes in cruise mode. :ar15:

Have to second what RiB says about people not moving over. I thought having HDTboy running interference for me might have made a few folk aware others are coming but no.

As for the 250 guys patting themselves on the back for being so fast. Well its easy to ride bikes that are light and don't need to slow for corners. Maybe the should try a powerful bike like the "busa" and see what happens when a handful of throttle applied at the wrong time can do between two slow corners. Still I loved it when I had a small bike picking on bigger bikes when I was learning. :2thumbsup

But what a great ride.

Maybe the should try a powerful bike like the "busa" and see what happens when a handful of throttle applied at the wrong time can do between two slow corners.

havent ye got a frank and beans mate?

[R6_kid]

As for the 250 guys patting themselves on the back for being so fast. Well its easy to ride bikes that are light and don't need to slow for corners. Maybe the should try a powerful bike like the "busa" and see what happens when a handful of throttle applied at the wrong time can do between two slow corners. Still I loved it when I had a small bike picking on bigger bikes when I was learning. :2thumbsup

But what a great ride.

a lot of that is just a pisstake, we're not as dumb as we look at the end of the day! :hitcher: I know after trying the ZX7R what the power difference does to things, i'm looking forward to being able to use it as an excuse as well :lol:

Heh heh I'm taking the piss outta you guys too. I didn't need any excuses. :lol: At my age you guys should have been kickin my ass in the tight stuff. Ahhhh I was trying to point out that that young 250 riders are focussed on how fast they can go. While other riders have different means of enjoying themselves.

Theres a guy here on a old 84 XJ 900 who would go around the outside most of you.

[Teflon]

its ok im in the same boat it would appear my old shitta cant get round corners either or maybe is the old guy ridein it :doh:

How come you never passed me going into those twistys just before that oneway bridge where you stoped?

im not interested in the shit slinging you guys :angry2:
so if everyones to fast or focused to ride with the slower big bikes with older slower riders :oi-grr: sort your own rides out :2thumbsup
i enjoy my ridein out there and keep a eye on everyone :chase:
i organised a ride round the loop for club suzuki in 1991 ish
we made the front page of the herald 4 ambulances 13 casualties one poor guy ended on the rocks just outta thames with his thy bone through his leathers
is this the type of ride you want to go on :oi-grr:
if so dont turn up to a ride i organise :2thumbsup

How come you never passed me going into those twistys just before that oneway bridge where you stoped?
well if you knew how to keep to a line and not be a danger to fellow rides i would have passed you 5 ks back as thats where we almost came off but you were to busy tryin to prove a point rideing all over the road like a truck and trailer unit hence the wide birth you got after that but :whocares:
no need to turn up to ride with me again as id hate to hold you up

[trev]

Have to second what RiB says about people not moving over.



Guess GarethD's off the hook on this one

Guess GarethD's off the hook on this one

i thinks hes looking for a sheep :scooter:

[The_Dover]

Hey Trev, did you get a picture of me and pillion going around the outside of that 4x4 on the corner that Gareth_D is hugging the inside of?

If I was responsible for holding anyone up by not using my mirrors I apologise, gotta take it a little easier with a passenger and the mirrors on the k5 need a little elbow tucking to see much more than leather!

I had a great ride and so did Ana on the back, hopefully next time she'll be on her own two wheels. I think the one litre club doing wheelstands past us at highspeed have inspired her!! "Why can't you do that?" she kept asking...............no balls i'm afraid...I lost them in my last crash. I think they can be found somewhere in Colemans workshop once they surgically remove them from the tank of my last bike.

[RiderInBlack]

99.9 WERE ALL GOOD AWESOME RIDE SEEYA SAT ? OR THE OPO RIDE ?

[The_Dover]

Can't make Saturday I'm afraid, got work in the morning. Where you headed? I may try and catch up for the last leg home and a beer afterwards.

Opo is a definite possibility, I'll be playing catch up again on the Saturday but am keen for the trip.

Now I just need to get a new rear for the k5, found a nasty split on Sunday so it's only good for commuting at the mo, sucks ass cos I reckon it's still good for another thousand k's. I may give the Avon Viper a try is I can get a good price.

[juzzer]

.....no balls i'm afraid...I lost them in my last crash. I think they can be found somewhere in Colemans workshop once they surgically remove them from the tank of my last bike.

A bit like this? :Oops:

[The_Dover]

Fuck, did you have a hard on when you crashed that? Either that or you shoulda seen a doctor before the accident!!

[The_Dover]

Na mate. You were riding fu*ken great:ride: So was your Pillion:not: Would love a pillion as good as her on the back.

Yeah, she's a joy to have on there. Just sits tight and enjoys the ride without giving me any hint of a weight shift at the wrong moment! I fear I'll be losing her soon though, those litre boys and their wheelstands have taken their toll.

"I don't wanna be a passenger anymore, I wanna ride like that. Where can I get me one of those???"

Looks like I'll be keeping an eye out for a decent two'fiddy for her!

[juzzer]

Fuck, did you have a hard on when you crashed that? Either that or you shoulda seen a doctor before the accident!!

lol - nope, but i cracked a woody in rehab about 6 weeks after the even...and fuck it hurt...(nurses were hot...)

[The_Dover]

Ouch...

I must admit I was back on the job the night I crashed just to check all was still functioning!! My bollocks were like King Kongs they were that black and swollen, however all seemed to be in order so long as I was not too vigourous.

Mind you it was two weeks before I could walk normally again and I only attribute that to the 48hrs rest they got on my flight back to the UK!

nice for some...took about 6 months to walk properly and about the same for the equipment :crazy:

[The_Dover]

See........that would just break a mans spirit.

The walking I could suffer for six months but to be up on bricks for that long? Shiit, you'd lose all rythm and probably need some retraining I expect?

Must have been a different corner.

[Right Charlie]

CBR400 on a mission, only to later find out it was a 250, god it had a loud pipe, I swear it was straight open

I did a bit of overtaking of the big boys in the twisties, and mine is strait open yeah(Was a baffle ectomy untill the packing blew out of it..., not a CBR, its the mad max Gixxer, i suspect it was me that went past :2thumbsup

[The_Dover]

Yeah, I thought that was the one just before Coromandel after the stop at the top of the hill. There was a point where you were hiding in the ditch with your camera and I passed a car, 4 x 4 I think, just as we were in your line of sight.

Nice pics anyway, thanks for taking the time out to stop and click! I sometimes take a camera but struggle to stop and use it, too much fun on the move.

How many shots did you get on Sunday? I like the one of the three yellow thou's all cranking round together!

sorry to burst your bubble but he is talking about HDTboy who was riding a CBR250RR, debaffled... he was probably topping out 50-60kmh faster than you...

[R6_kid]

Not all on the 250's are out there going to 100% of the bikes capability, but when you are on a 250 the most fun is pushing it as close to the limit as you can, which im pretty sure bar one of us (HDT) we probably werent that close to the limit. I know i could probably get 5-6secs off my time at Pukekohe but thats a different story...

On the road its about enjoying your bike as much as you want to. On a 250 its just much easier to push it than it is on the bigger bikes and even though we dont tell ya we do give you guys some *gangsta voice* MAD RESPECTS */gangsta voice*

I mean if we did tell you then there wouldnt be much room for pisstakes would there :laugh:

[HDTboy]

Sorry mate, bike's got more in it than I can give it

PS, Hangover didn't help either

To end the bickering, we all had fun, and none of the people playing silly buggers crashed. :Playnice:

[SixPackBack]

For whats its worth, i think as a group [upon reflection] we were often going a little hard.........particularly in the 80 and 50 zones.
On two occasion's i witnessed there were local's standing on the side of the road shaking fist's. Guy's if we piss them of to much the cop's will do something about it.....[ i count myself guilty, and will be altering my behaviour]
Might get more of my high speed fix at the track where it belong's in future. :2thumbsup

[bugjuice]

just force yourself to ease up thru the zones in the towns.. there's plenty of open roads out of the towns. Last thing we want to do is piss off the peeps, else it'll wreck a wicked ride.

Mate, you do not what lines are, LOL.

And, you do not know what fast is, you think you do, but you don't. "tryin to prove a point"?, if you knew fast road riding you would know i was far from being aggressive. A good rider on a GSXR1000 should leave me for dead any where, and should have no problems overtaking my 90hp (if i'm lucky) VTR. It was obvious you're a bit scared to twist that throttle thou, so if you did, you know i would be right behind you.

WORSE RIDER?, mate, you need to take a look at yourself. I think it's a case of a shitty old VTR showing you up :buggerd:

Sixpack does this mean instead of 250KmH in a 50 zone you will knock it back to a sedate 220KmH. :2thumbsup After you went past in to Coromandel the locals where all lookin skyward wondering if the Air Force had let a Skyhawk loose.

Got to say again what a great ride it was,no BS or politics..just folk enjoying themselves which is what its all about.. Well done :niceone:

[Kornholio]

Hey guys...My friends and I were at the Kopu pub when you guys turned up(we were on a Yellow/Black 01 GSXR 750, black VTR and a red VTR).
Must say a nice mix of bikes and riders, do you guys do these rides often cos we may be keen to tag along, along the way :D Lol at the guy that was lying on the ground all the time yous were there...mustve been a big night beforehand :)

Oh and about speeding through towns I thought bikers had more sense than to race through streets with kids and stuff running around, plenty of time for that in the 100k zones...The cops mainly leave us alone on the open roads but a few bad reports in the towns could piss them off more

Cheers and see yas on the road :)

[Right Charlie]

Lol at the guy that was lying on the ground all the time yous were there...mustve been a big night beforehand :)

Night started at 7pm, Drank, Danced and chatted up a chick for the next 4 hours, took chick back to mine, chatted for an hour, {Not work safe}:doctor: untill about 7 or 8, then kinda dozed till 9 and jumped on the bike.

Man what a night it was.

i'd hate to think how long you had to work to pay for that... must have been harder than the time you got with her, or do you normally have problems in that department? :whistle:

I did see a few people waving/fisting at me to slow down, however when i looked down at the speedo i was still within the limit (less than 10kmh over), i will admit to fanging it a bit up around the coast but i know the first few 'towns' quite well...

Rightly so too. I'm doing 50 in the 50 zones from now on when on rides
and you do realise that that means doing 50kph in 6th gear, not 1st...??

I'll meet you halfway and use 3rd

[BLACKYOSHI1000]

and you do realise that that means doing 50kph in 6th gear, not 1st...??
the prob is you can hear 30 bikes for a couple of miles before you get to town so the locals are allready thinking what the fu#k is that

[R6_kid]

when the 250's are out you can hear 5 bikes way before that, specially with these retards taht remove all the the research and development put into exhaust design :whistle:

Yes, this is correct a whisper quite bike, would seem a lot 'slower' to the casual observer. This is offset by people not only not seeing you, but not hearing you if your quite.
Personally i would rather cage drivers heard me coming as clearly they are largely blind. and as previuosly mentioned slowing down to very close to the posted limit around towns etc
