[Sniper]

If I have the Op ( :doctor: ) on my knee tonight Aaron I know its a 250 but you can steal my bike.
Also if I do get the "other" bike on Sat, SG, you can use that.

I'll be offline tonight because of the laptop visiting the neverworld so if you want to get hold of me text me on 021 48 or phone me on 36. Like I say, Aaron, did you want to use my bike?

I don't have any choice :crybaby:

[TonyB]

HUh.... just ride it into Pitlane and let them do it costs no extra :apumpin: Erm- it's a bit more complicated than that. Once upon a time I bleated on KB about needing a new front tyre. Some generous soul offered me their front tyre as they were getting a new one "Hardly worn they said" Unbeknownst to me the generous soul got a bit carried away on it, went out and SHAGGED the tyre LOL. I dropped into Pitlane to pick it up, and Don said "Nah, I biffed it mate- it was fucked", then he sold me a slightly used Metzeller for $20 or $30. Said, "bring in just the wheel only and I'll chuck it on". Hence I need to take the wheel only in.


I dont, its an excuse for a spin :drinkup:
No fibs now D. Your BABYING that sucker aren't you? Worried bits will fall off or something?

Sniiiiiiipeeeer!! Are you going or what??

In other news: ye gods, when will I learn?? MrsB has spotted this thread, and is now having fun making me grovel so I can go! GOD I'd love to post the emails we've been flicking backwards and forwards.....

[Sniper]

Sniiiiiiipeeeer!! Are you going or what??



Just had a call from the doc today at 9:45 saying that tonight I have to go in and have the fluid drained off my knee (OUCH!!!!!!) and if they see fit they can do an arthroscopy at the same time. So either I will be too sore to come, or hyped on drugs that I will be flying and OK to come.

But the plan is at this stage I'll be going.

[Sniper]

If I am good to go, I have offered my bike to R1Aaron because he doesn't have one, but if someone has a more comfortable bike, ie not a sports position for the knee, would I possiably pretty please be able to use it to join youse?

Dangerous, whats the VTR like :devil2:

[TonyB]

Just had a call from the doc today at 9:45 saying that tonight I have to go in and have the fluid drained off my knee (OUCH!!!!!!) and if they see fit they can do an arthroscopy at the same time. .
No excuses! I have a cordless drill that will sort it out for you


So either I will be too sore to come, or hyped on drugs that I will be flying and OK to come. To sore to come?? Bah! I've never been too sore to come! Like the time I got out of hospital after major gut surgery and had a big row of staples down my belly. I made MrsB climb on top an..... oh, hang on, that's not what you meant is it? :Oops:

[Sniper]

Lol Tony.

Ok, heres the deal you sadistic buggers. I have just phoned the doctor and said to him that if I have surgery may I go on the ride. The answer I got was he did not want me riding for 6 weeks after the op. BULLSHIT. If I can take my full license with my leg in a cast I can go for a ride on Sunday.

Anyway the doc swore at me and said if I am adament about riding on Sunday I should ride something like a harley so Im not bending my knee. Anyway, any semi cruiser or cruiser that wont involve me having to put my knee down to turn a corner is good. Unfortunatly I dont have one and would like to ask if anyone of you nice people would loan me one or pillion me?

[Rashika]

err ...no I dont think that is QUITE what he meant TonyB :whistle:

[Flyingpony]

Can't make it. Got finals next week.

[dangerous]

Ok then if ya all keen for a wee spin north/west then how does My joint sound at 12pm...... if theres any other ideas lets hear em, those that dont Know were I am p/m and I'll tell ya.

[TonyB]

OK- interesting day. Couldn't get me front wheel off (no front stand-yet), the bloody thing is so front heavy that there is no where I can jack it up without the back wheel coming up too. Heavy old bitch :oi-grr:
So that foiled the mornings plan. MrsB took Lexie to a Bday party, Zach and I spent a few hours cleaning months of neglect off the bike. Looks almost clean now! MrsB wants me to take it round to D's house so he can finish the job properly. Zach was playing with a toy car- next thing he's going "CAR! CAR!" and standing by the pipe. OH SHIT! I hustle around there to see a dinky sitting well inside the pipe. Took ages to fish it out LOL

Noticed while cleaning what looked to be a nail in the back tyre. Great:oi-grr:. Tyre was still inflated, so I figured Don could take a look when he did the front. MrsB came back from the party VERY LATE!:oi-grr: So I hustled into town. Haven't riden anything except my bucket in a v long time. "Shit this is heavy" I did think. Then twisted the right hand grip did I " SHIIIIIIIIT". Bit quicker than the bucket...

Don threw the new front on. Then extracted the nail- yep- punctured. So he did a temp repair. Pumped her up and sent me on my merry way. Refused to take more than $20. Shit he's a good bloke! Buy all your tyres from Don. I command you!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo, the reason for this ramble is, I have a request. Can we please not leave until at least 11:30 am. I still haven't got a WOF. Please??

[TonyB]

12? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeexcellent. I shall be there.

[gav]

Hope to be there, too :niceone:

[TonyB]

Hope to be there, too :niceone:
What? No golf??

[gav]

Golf today.....83 off the stick :whocares:

[dangerous]

Hope to be there, too :niceone:
Sweet.... Kickaha said and in his own words "If I can be fucked I'll go" and Deisel Pig may aswell.
So we will decide on the route to take tomorow.

BTW............... remember DAYLIGHT SAVING TONIGHT clocks go forward :niceone:

[Aaron]

Don't forget daylight savings tonight, clocks forward one hour :spudwave:

[Bren_chch]

i missed ya's didnt get up till 12! :O good ride?

[TonyB]

i missed ya's didnt get up till 12! :O good ride?
You could have easily made it. Everyone was waiting for me! Sorry guys! Thanks so much for waiting... it's actually quite embarrassing... Sorry about chewing up so much or your riding time guys.

Was good to get out and try some new roads. But that will be the first and last time I ride down German Road... dead straight for fecken miles and bumpy as feck. Not my cup-o-tea

I FINALLY got to meet Sniper! He exists! And so do I! And I know where he lives ..... MUHAHAHAhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

But, due to ..... events.... that transpired after the ride I may not be doing any 'social' group rides. We might have to do some rides for the time concious. Ride to destination, no time for chatting, turn around and scamper back home.

[dangerous]

i missed ya's didnt get up till 12! :O good ride?
No excuse Bren... we dident leave till 1pm, bloody TonyB was draging the chain.

Well awesome turn out guys 18 KBers in all.
The day was cool and cloudy but I dident cear I had a new bike to wind some K's up on.
speedygirl, vfrboy, Rashika, dangerous, Gav & missus, Jimmie, Skyrider, Aaron (jr) Geoffm, SuzyQ, 30UTD, cheeter, LeMans, serowdownunder (hot chick on a Guzzi ;-) manuboy & TonyB headed of after Manuboy wanted to de gay the SV by rermoving the reflectors of the frount wheels.... sorry man but you still look gay..... we head of to Loburn to pick Kickaha and diesel Pig up, and just after that we all (apart from a few) took a very nice senic ride on some awesom light hilly roads.... then headed back to find the others but they had done a runner to the Oxford pub, we meet up later at the Cust pub and then the group departed in small numbers to head home to do the lawns and go to open homes etc.

Heres a few pics of the meet up and the Cust pub.... wicked pies there :apumpin:

ps: dont the Mk3 & Mk4 Lemans look sweet as (Lemans and serow)

[Bren_chch]

thats a nice turn out! bugga so i could have made it after all!!! next time!

[Aaron]

Thanks for jacking the ride up Dangerous, was a good afternoon out :niceone:

[laRIKin]

Thanks for jacking the ride up Dangerous, was a good afternoon out :niceone:

I'll second that and so will SDU.
She enjoyed riding the super tanker even more.
I seen her doing the Guzzi wave a couple of times, but all's good.

Good to try to put some names to face's.

Rik

[Kickaha]

Well awesome turn out guys 18 KBers in all.
we head of to Loburn to pick Kickaha and diesel Pig up, and just after that we all (apart from a few) took a very nice senic ride on some awesom light hilly roads.... then headed back to find the others


A nice scenic ride? there was a reason for that! :rolleyes:

As we rode past straight past the BIG SIGN that pointed left and said Ashley Gorge I was wondering where we were going as the road we headed up gives you the option of turning around and coming back the same way or riding Lees Valley (50-60km of shingle) it quickly became very obvious that the guy (who shall remain nameless but who has just bought a new Guzzi ) didn't know where he was going :finger:

Diesel Pig gave the GSX1100 a bit of a squirt to pull up behind the nameless Moto Guzzi rider and I thought he was going to pull him over and tell him just what a cock he was but he was to interested in seeing just how far we would get before the Moto Guzzi rider woke up and realised his mistake, a little bit up the road Guzzii rider finally wakes up to the fact he has no idea where he is going and pulls over and we tell him where to go :lol:

We head back to the turn off and head off to the gorge, the road is quite fast and flowing with some tighter corners at the Ashley Gorge end and we were getting along at a medium pace, just past the Gorge we turn off and head down some other roads to Cust and bypass Oxford completely, I just about stuff up one 60km corner and end up very near the edge of the road on exit but they say a miss is as good as a mile and carry on to the Cust pub

After arriving at the pub we realise we're about 6 short but they're soon tracked down to the Oxford pub and turn up about 1/2 hour later, where after the usual beer,coke pies and bullshit we all head off home :niceone:

[SpeedyGirl]

Thanks to all (you know who you are) for an awesome day. :whistle:
Big hugs to Mr and Mrs Sniper who are the best :not: :grouphug: (yes he does exist, I can back Tony's sighting)
Nice seeing some KB'ers that I have not met before and some familiar faces,

Big thanks to Dangerous for organising it all :niceone:

[Skyryder]

Good to see you back Dangerous. Just knew the lure of the purr.........would see you back fure' sure.

Skyryder

[TonyB]

No excuse Bren... we dident leave till 1pm, bloody TonyB was draging the chain.

AN HOUR?!?!?!?! You waited an hour?!?! :o God I had no idea it was that bad! :o Never again!

[SpeedyGirl]

AN HOUR?!?!?!?! You waited an hour?!?! :o God I had no idea it was that bad! :o Never again!


Tony..... just 'cause it was you :spudwave: we waited

I really did wonder where the hell D was going, but I just followed blindly. Hubby stopped just before the proper turnoff and I never saw him again.

We head back to the turn off and head off to the gorge, the road is quite fast and flowing with some tighter corners at the Ashley Gorge end and we were getting along at a medium pace, just past the Gorge we turn off and head down some other roads to Cust and bypass Oxford completely, I just about stuff up one 60km corner and end up very near the edge of the road on exit but they say a miss is as good as a mile and carry on to the Cust pub

It would have been nice if someone had waited at the turn off - I was riding with Skyrider behind me, happily travelling to Oxford as i wasn't really sure where we were going!!

After arriving at the pub we realise we're about 6 short but they're soon tracked down to the Oxford pub and turn up about 1/2 hour later, where after the usual beer,coke pies and bullshit we all head off home :niceone:

yes I was one of the 6. I really wanted to be back in CHCH by 2:15 at the latest and it was 1:45, so I went home via the tram road, having no actual idea where everyone else really was!!!
I now know where the tram road goes to, very boring road.
Did not get to chch in time for what I wanted - just missed the open home by a matter of minutes. Hubby was nowhere to be seen and I got home about 2:40pm. What a ride, don't actually want to repeat that one! :argh:

[dangerous]

Did not get to chch in time for what I wanted - just missed the open home by a matter of minutes. don't actually want to repeat that one! :argh:
Ohhhhhhhhh... go on you can book a time for a viewing.... and yeahh you will repeat that one again :spudwave:


Hubby was nowhere to be seen :argh:
Well, when we turned up at the Cust pub... he was sitting out on the porch (rd side) with a beer and pie... he looked quite content :whistle:


I seen her doing the Guzzi wave a couple of times,
LOL... mate I dont know what the Guzzi wave is I have no idea what 1/2 turn 40mm cabs are like with chevy rear suspension springs as slide returns I aint no 'real Guzzi' rider :niceone:


Thanks for jacking the ride up Dangerous, was a good afternoon out :niceone:
No worries man, nice tidy bike ya have there, sorry I dident get a chance to have a chat with ya.

Look Kickaha.............. the unnamed Guzzi rider was more than happy to take my 'brand new' Guzzi on a 60k ride through shingle, river crossings and to a alttitude of 300m and finish up with a shingle slide back down the other side of Lees vally...... not my fault you soft cock Japp riders cant handle a little adventure.

Nobody is worth waiting around for an hour for. Not when you could be out riding.

[Kickaha]

:laugh: ....hmmm ya think the xj would make it? With amount of smoke it puts out you might get the bush rangers in thinking it was a bush fire :dodge:

of course it would make it and it only uses a litre of oil for every 1000km,I'd bet I wouldn't see any Buells or Guzzis around there though :finger:


Nobody is worth waiting around for an hour for. Not when you could be out riding.

and especially if they're called TonyB and they're running late :lol:

of course it would make it and it only uses a litre of oil for every 1000km,I'd bet I wouldn't see any Buells or Guzzis around there though :finger:
nah fking way..... I know when to use the right tool for the job, and the Buell would not be it for that one!!
The river crossings could be a bit of an issue... glug glug glug :whistle:

[laRIKin]

Well looks like we'll be going for a ride next Saturday arvo then :finger:

I'm keen to do that ride again.
But I think I will be taking the LC4 and not the Guzzi.
But we did have a guy ride XV1000 over the Okuku Pass with us.

Yeah I think that's his name.
That was his last ride on that bike, as he now has a new bike and said that it will not be going over the pass.

Cheers guys and gals for a great first KB ride, good to meet people. Pity I had to take off early from pub for work, but will stick round longer next time. Might have to upgrade to a tidier bike me thinks, everyone elses was so nice and new looking.

[TonyB]

Huh? What you talking about, Willis?

Um, lets see.... as soon as I got home mention was made -quite loudly- of the time period "five and a half hours". Admittedly for 1.5 hours of that I was sat on me arse waiting for a WOF. And then we spent a fair amount of time ... erm... helping out. So the actual ride time would have been more like 3 hours. But we all ride for enjoyment- for me personally it is a fantastic stress reliever- but yesterday after making 17 people wait for nearly an hour and then coming home to a grumpy wife I was actually quite depressed.

[Sniper]

Anywhoo, good to see you guys got out and had some fun. I managed to get all the dishes done and vacuum the house! Damn, Im becoming house trained. :eek5:

Yep it was finally good to meet TonyB and damn, I only just realised he knows where I live :Oops: Thats ok, I'll just stalk him until he gives in and tells me :bleh:

Must be something with Guzzi riders getting lost. I seem the hear it all the time :blink: Anyway, how did the bike go dangerous?

Well, after a few weeks I should be able to join you all on the ride.

[Silage]

AN HOUR?!?!?!?! You waited an hour?!?! :o God I had no idea it was that bad! :o Never again!

Hey Tony don't sweat the small stuff. There were lots of those who arrived before you :whistle: whom I had not met before. So for me anyhow it was a chance to chat to some new KBers (well new to me) and make rude comments about Dangerous' guzzi.

Glad to see you made it. Not easy balancing the needs of the family and having a blast once in a while. Although reading your other thread it would seem you got thru the "late" return home OK.

yep totally agree Jimmie :niceone:
...lots of people were running late and it was cool to be able to meet a quite a few that I hadn't meet before, really good day thanks guys!!

Part of my peculiar psychological makeup is that I HATE being late for ANYTHING. Having 17 people stand around and wait for me is not my cup of tea. Maybe that's why I ride a sprots bike?

I survived the late return- barely. :dodge: I can do the ride on t'other thread because MrsB will be at work and the kids (hopefully) at preschool.

And yep, balancing family/ riding/ racing/ working on old bikes/ new business/ work is not easy, as I'm sure heaps of peeps here know all too well. MrsB and I have been discussing this this morning.

[TonyB]

wasn't quite an hour...close but not quite...but you are sooooo worth it TonyB :devil2:

Tony..... just 'cause it was you :spudwave: we waited
With talk like this I'll be amazed if MrsB ever lets me out of the house again...

[Rashika]

ooops yes we better be quiet eh TonyB

Hiya M! :spudwave:
We tried not to keep him late...but one and another...just got sidetracked, you know how it is.
We will make sure to get him home on time next time :niceone: ...fingers crossed

Sigh- TonyB will be in trouble again. She looks at KB to see what I'm up to...

Thank you everyone for a good ride. Even if we ended up at the Oxford first. Old habits die hard! :Oops:
Thankyou for waiting for us, too, I worked split shifts yesterday. (as usual).
Thanks Aaron for keeping an out for me to make sure I managed to get the tractor around the hill & for putting up with a slow ride. :niceone:

lemans & I were not our selves yesterday, & may not have been the best off company as we said good bye to our old boy Dray on Saturday.:crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby:
Appreciated the distraction of the ride. Hope to meet you all again in a happier frame of mind next ride.
Here's a pic off Dray.

*cough* Yes All our bikes were very tidy*cough*


Hey cheers guys for a good ride, at least I seemed to be able to keep up :D

Looks like I have to try to convince some of you guys to let me ajhve a ply on a bigger bike... its been so loooong

[laRIKin]

No I think that is was a XV1000 and not a TRX.
As it was a "V" and not a in line twin.

No sorry man, but you need a lot a pratice 1st, wee p/m comming your way right now, glad you enjoyed it but keeping up with us is not needed.... more skill is 1st.

[TonyB]

Mate forget about the w/e start softening her up for Sundays bucket meet..... last round of tthe year for the bears (cept xmas meet but thats a rally w/e)

No need to soften her up. She is insisting that I race. I just think maybe I need to stick around home this weekend. Plus I won't have a back protector
