any CHCH bike nuts keen on heading to akaroa on saturday 5th for the sole purpise of removing rubber from tire and placing on road? I will be leaving the sign of the kiwi after sufficient quantities off caffine have been absorbed at 11am. Ride on only if track is dry

Hi Jeff
Welcome to KB. The locals are a bit slow in replying but just so it doesn't look like you are being ignored...

Sorry but I'm tied up Saturday (and far tooo nana to leave rubber on the road) - if it is good enuf for the tyre to have chicken strips, who am I to grind them off :whistle: See you around some time.

[Skyryder]

Not too sure on the 5th but welcome to the board Jeff DM

Would love to come, but Im on the wrong Island, I MISS CHCH/CANTERBURY. Spend 5 years there and learned to ride in the area on my Norton 850 commando. Have many fond memories of trips to Akaroa. Certainly would love to run the Duke over that track. I feel a big trip calling.... yep, only 1000miles from here, no sweat. Yep, sandwiches, sleeping back, map (forget the map, I'll find the way, head south), pre-paid tyre for the trip home, just about covers it, now, excuse for sick leave for a month, hummmmmmm.
seriously, welcome to the madhouse
Have a great ride and hope you can hook up with some like minded riders.
PS, Love ya bike, think Aprillia to replace the Duke, but not just yet :weep:

The track would be primo at the moment! Smugglers to the wheatsheaf would be top notch, gebbies sweet as, little river through to akaroa is always good this time of year.

Hey Geoff, my bikes going in for a service tomorrow, will be keen for some after work rides. I'm working this Saturday, so can't join in the fun.

Welcome Adam.

Tony, howcome are you allowed out?

[onearmedbandit]

Because dangerous is going over.

Welcome to the site Adam. Caught up with a guy on the Port Hills the other night on a 900ss, thought it might have been you but he was on a 94 model.

[Jeff da maori]

dam do all you guys work saturdays? I should be working too but the hills are calling and it's pointless trying to fight it.
Nelson would have been good but I would have to get permission from the old dra....... loving girfrend and you need to apply 2 weeks in advance lol

[onearmedbandit]

Yeah, and I work both Sat and Sun. Farkin car industry, oh well it pays for my toys! I've got wednesdays off, so keen on getting out then. Not this wek though, bike's in getting a birthday treat.

[Suzi Q]

[Jeff da maori]

Didn't know about that one

[Adam_B]

Hi Jeff
Still on for tomorrow?

[Jeff da maori]

[TonyB]

Faaaark what a primo day! Jeff, sorry dude I can't make it. Off to the beach.
I hope you have some company. Enjoy the ride

[onearmedbandit]

Oh yeah, absolutely fuckin' beautiful day. And I'm at work.

[Rashika]

Oh yeah, absolutely fuckin' beautiful day. And I'm at work.
yeah...had to escape the heat, so at work too :crybaby:
but the OT is sweet :niceone:
...it might contribute a little to my extremely HUGE visa bill after new helmet/gloves/packrack/tyre in the last month or so, damn bikes are expensive at times

[Adam_B]

Oh yeah great day for it. Not too much traffic on the way over, but a bit on the way back. The wind was the worst part of it though.
I kept Jeff company, and held him up a bit. Sorry Jeff.
Looking forward to a few more trips over there and hope for a few more riders next time.

See ya.

[Jeff da maori]
