Skelstar - Riding is more important than TV.....
True...just made a judgement call on weather is all, and getting impatient and dont want another ride f*cked up because of the weather.

[adyone]

It was good to meet you guys n gals last week ,see you tommorow unless it's raining .

[Hitcher]

I may well be ready for a blat by tomorrow evening, particularly if the weather is good.

[Uncle B]

Listen closely.

SH2 is the main highway that runs through the Hutt Valley, over the Hill and through the Wairarapa.

SH2 runs along by some water, called Wellington Harbour. When the water runs out you are at Petone. You will go past a 10 pin bowling alley, go through a double set of traffic lights at Korokoro (it's a complicated Intersection) and the next set of lights is Maungaraki. Turn off here and there is a carpark directly in front of you. There will be bikes.

Hutt Valley - Petone - Korokoro lights- Maungaraki.

Easy.

kool..but i live in .........stokes valley... am working in ... a little old ladies house up on some hill, i think it is near a railway staiton, as i can hear them (the trains!!).....
i have a dvd PLAYER and no vcr..:doh:

[James Deuce]

Right then. Get on the Hutt Motorway (it really isn't a motorway, it's SH2, but that would just be confusing to explain) and head toward Wellington.

Look out for the Intersection that is two sets of lights and we refer to as "Melling lights". Stay in the right hand lane. You will see a train station that is the end of a branch line, at this particualar intersection. Go straight through, keep heading for Wellington. You will pass under an overbridge that has no on or off ramps. This is the Normandale Bridge. It has one of those blue signs on it. Keep on going under it toward Wellington.

The next turn off is Maungaraki. It is on your right. The carpark will be directly in front of you once you have made the right turn. There will be bikes.

It is all well sign posted. You'll be fine.

*abridged version*

Get on motorway, head South to Wellington, turn off at Maungaraki.

It's all sign posted.

[Velox]

Weather looks a little 'iffy'' we'll see how it goes
Welcome along old fella!!!:niceone:




Sorry, won't be out because of my mate's wedding shinanigans (again!).
Have fun and may the hill be dry and cage-free for you all.:ride:




Btw - beaut instructions Jim!

[Str8 Jacket]

Str8 Jacket - Harden up.


Arrgh, im a little wuss!

[Deano]

I'm keen to watch the mcycle programme on at 7.30pm, so will check with Sonny at Breakers to see if he can put it on the big screen.

A short jaunt sounds good. Hope the weather is ok, I have some work stress to deal to.

[Riff Raff]

Right then. Get on the Hutt Motorway ... etc
It is all well sign posted. You'll be fine.
This is AJturbo we're talking about here. Who know's where he'll end up.

[madboy]

Arrgh, im a little wuss!little?

If your bike is going, tyre is not too bald, indicator is not too missing, wind is not over 10km/h, rain is not too wet, you're not playing touch, you're not too PMTish, or suffering too many withdrawal symptoms and you've got enough money - you should come out.

Have I missed anything?

[cowpoos]

its a bit wet over the hill here....

[Slingshot]

its a bit wet over the hill here....


And it's bloody cold in Welly too!


I'm going to give it a miss today, for those of you going to the sprints I'll see you there (if it's fine).

[skelstar]

Bit of a family crisis so had to spend the morning with my folks. A bit shattered so I dont know if Ill be there tonight. Although the weather is bloddy nice at the moment.

[Str8 Jacket]

little?

you've got enough money

Have I missed anything?


OK. im a HUUGE wuss. And no you havent missed anything, I have highlighted todays problem which is a shame cause my bike needs a good thrashing at the moment....

[Deano]

its a bit wet over the hill here....

Some Wgtn bikers are not very welcome over there anyway.......

[Deano]

We can watch the Worlds Greatest Motorcycles at Breakers - will have to be a short ride so we can be there by 7.30pm. See ya's.

[Slingshot]

Now that the sun is out I'm thinking of coming along....might see ya around 6:20ish.

[madboy]

Good effort for those that made it tonight. Nice run down the coast rd. Bit windy and all, but so be it. Thanks also to the white commodore with extra aerials and funny "brake" lights mounted in it's rear windows for holding a group of us up on the way back, guess we needed the breather - not. Bit of a shame my plate was in such as position as to not allow me to take advantage of such a sitting duck.

Good to see that such a fine example of engineering such as that butt f***ing ugly piece of shit Honda scooter won the worlds greatest bikes too. All those people who bought Repsol replicas must be crying into their bank loans knowing they own an evolution of that...

Same time, same batchannel next week. And the question for next week is: -

What will Str8 Jacket's excuse be next week?

[Wasp]

yea a good first run i think, got bloody cold on the way there with only wearing a t-shirt under the leather jacket though.

you guys got held up?! and i still didnt catch you..... damn

[cowpoos]

im hungery

[ajturbo]

This is AJturbo we're talking about here. Who know's where he'll end up.
