Departing from the NZ Bloodstock Centre as usual.

Departure time is 11 am.

Mint - I got that day offski. Should tee up a KB meeting point... or something.

[Scorpygirl]

I will be there - helping to sell the T-shirts and badges!!! :clap: Come over and say hi. :hug:

[Holy Roller]

Last year we all met up at the Autobarn could do the same again this year
we could be there before 10am so we will leave together just after 10.
Then there is still time to view all the bikes assembling.

what I thought about thou is that if we meet up at the autoban. dont we have to go down turn around and go back up again?
what we COULD do is use the flag at the event? I mean thats what its for no?

[Waylander]

March 19th... Will put that on my callender as soon as I get it from Bugjuice.

That would only work if everyone arrived at the same time as the bikes are lined up ready for the start as one gets there, late comers will be farther back. Would be OK to meet and greet at the flag then assemble at the end of the run together if one wants to as there is more room to do so.

[outlawtorn]

Everyone from the North Shore!!!!!
Can we do the usual meet up at Barry's Point Road, between Suzuki and Honda, I'm going to try and get there for 9:45 and hopefully we'll leave at 10 ish and arrive at 10:30, then we will have plenty of time to meet up with everyone else and have a chinwag and a look at some bikes.

Cool? Anyone have any other suggestions re timing etc?

[danb]

Ok this is probably a dumb question but do we have to take anything on the ride i.e. toys or money etc? This will be my first time on this ride :stupid:

[Waylander]

Hmm have to do some grocery shopping tonight but aslong as I got myself $75 after that, I'll be there.

[Potzman]

Is there anybody going from out west way? if so we can meet at shell westgate or other place close to motorway i can meet u along my way. bout 9ish

is anybody still keen to meet up at the auto barn???

[Scorpygirl]

Sorry, Rhino and I are going to be there early. Rhino will be helping with marshalling and I will be helping on the table selling badges and Tshirts. Just bring $10 for a badge and $20 for a Tshirt. No Toys. Come up and say hi to me on the table - I am short on the wheel base with a cap full of badges.

Scorpygirl

[texmo]

Westpack Helecopter Run by Ulysses. Meet at Odeon lounge(opposite Galbraiths)to leave for Karaka at
9.45am .Full Tanks please.ride to Bloodstock Centre.Depart 11.00am to North Shore

[Rhino]

Calling all KBers,

The current record for the WestPac Ride is 1500 bikes.:gob: This could be your chance to help exceed that figure. It looks like the Weather God is playing ball, so let's fill Karaka with bikes tomorrow morning.:ride:

Remember to tuck your wallet in your leathers. Badges are $10 and T-shirts $20. Scorpygirl will sell you one in an instant. Just approach the short wheelbase lady:whistle: at the table and wave your money.

I will wearing a black floppy hat covered in badges and marshalling at the start, so all KBers are more than welcome to have a chat.

So is anybody else going to the Autobahn first? It's a fairly quick loop back up to Karaka from there.

[notme]

Just got back to my HQ - great ride, HEEEEEEAPS of bike to ogle, and now me, SlashWylde and a few others are off to Kaiaua for fish n chips on the beach. Will rack up a few k's today, but hey, my tyres aren't going to just remove their tread by sitting in the gargre! :msn-wink:

P.S. pix to follow...

[SwanTiger]

Nice sight, pity I lost a fucken cylinder riding in there, just past the East Tamaki turn off. You lot would of seen a Red Hyosung (beautiful thing, you would of noticed it for sure) on the side of the road shinning in the sun.

Crap in the fuel jets or some along those lines. The AA guy was a rider and the towie was one too, hows that for luck? Had a good chat to the towie all the way home.

I saw some homo on a scraped up 250 waiving, kinda looked like tristans bike!!

[Qman]

Mate that sucks

Let us know what they find

[Potzman]

Awesome ride folks! I ant never seen so many bikes before!!:eek5:

JSG, saw u on the side of road just coming down into queen street with a learner on another CBR, what were you up to bro?

Think I may have seen u Swantiger, sorry for not stoping man, didnt recognise ya bike looked too much like a ducati ;-)

Was great catching up with a few of ya!
Feel like I need a bit more tho, might go out again later, have to cool off for the moment. damn its hot!:2thumbsup

Yea man that sucks - I saw you on the side of the MW - Tristan was either in front or behind me at that stage.
Hope you get you wheels going again soon.

[danb]

Twas was a good ride - Pity it was to slow for what I expected - Bike was just about in the red by the time we go there. Had to laugh at some of the spectators and the on coming traffic at times. Anyone know what happened to that kid who was on the side of the road who looked hurt (Fallen Off??)
Now all we have to do is see if we get on TV tonight.

[Scorpygirl]

An awesome day and thanks to all Kbers who turned up and supported the charity ride. The ride was definitely much slower down the motorway than in previous years - which on a hot day like today was not the best for bikes or riders!!! We sold all the T-shirts and took a stack of orders for badges. Seeing the chopper again this year was great too.

Well done to everyone!!!

:wari: :D

[fliplid]

Missed out on the t-shirts....ordered a badge! Melted, but a good laff all the same! Hope that kids OK. Tried to catch up with one or two I saw wearing KB shirts to introduce the disreputable self- mebe next time/outing. Ta for the ride out folks!

Nah he didn't fall off but his foot slipped of the peg and hurt himself on the wheel, :doh: He walked away allright, although with a limp. He's off to the doc. Haven't heard anything after that yet.
Let's hope that's the only mishap for the day.

[Riderskills]

What a fantastic turnout - A pleasure to ride with you all.

think i lost about 3kg in sweat and have worn out my back break pad
(plus i need a shower, stink of sweat)so many bikes must have
been a record:eek5:

So that was you. Bad luck. I slowed down, but the AA dude gave me a thumbs up, so I figured it was all as under control as it could be and carried on.
'Twas a good ride, lots of friendly spectators, lots of waving, kids love it when you wave back.

Bit slow, especially as Phoebe doesn't like very slow speeds, cos the oil pump doesn't work if you slip the clutch. But that's a minor gripe. See Allun got a photo of her, she'll be crowing over that to the other bikes in the gargre.

Nearly didn't make it after a contretemps with lost keys, frantically swapping a T500 ignition switch into the GT500 at 9:30 - they're not the same but a bit of soldering and it's all good. A furious blat down the motorway (I deny everything, if anyone saw me) got me there just in time.

Apologies to anyone who I smoked out - that slow running followed by acceleration is a bit problematic on a two smoker - tends to make a bit of smoke.

Thanks to all the organisers for a very good day out.

EDIT - It was good to see the 150's and 250's, GNs and such like soming along. And the scooters, too. Pity there wer'nt too many classic Brits, I expect they were all down at Pukekohe. Saw a couple of nice small unit Triumphs, and a very nice AJS twin.

[Aitch]

That was fun! Never seen so many bikes in one place at one time, and lots of shiny toys to look at! No grumpys, no silly little old buggers in white coats, no real idiots on the road, and you had to love the little dog in the front pack on one bike, and the newfie in the sidecar!
Me and my missus got the last 2 tshirts but 2, (didn't win any prizes in the raffle though...were there ANY 900s in that bucket).
Where was the KB flag?
Nice leisurely ride home, no silly buggers anywhere on SH1 or 1B, we'll be back next year!
Two thumbs up to Ulysses for organising it, and ya gotta give Auckland drivers credit for their patience. Today anyway......

[Rhino]

Hi all,

Was a great day for the ride. Many thanks to all the KBers for turning up. I may not have got to chat with many, but I saw everyone as they arrived at Karaka.

The ride was a lot slower than previous years (don't know why.) Didn't worry the 'Wing, but I was thinking that some of the air-cooled bikes may have got quite hot.

You folks obviously took my comment about bringing your wallet along to heart, as SG and the rest of the ladies sold out of badges and t-shirts.

Well done KBers, take a bow.

[WRT]

Nice sight, pity I lost a fucken cylinder riding in there, just past the East Tamaki turn off.

Hey mate, I was the red and silver aprilia that pulled up, spoke with your missus. She said you've only had it a week! Not good, but she perked up when I mentioned the word "warranty" . . . You guys had everything in hand as much as possible so there wasnt much point in me hanging around.

Saw you were sat next to it when we went back past so gave a quick wave, plus the AA guy was parked up by the northbound onramp checking everyone out. Hope it doesnt turn out to be anything too major.

[Sparky]

What a great day, here are some pics:

AWESOME ride today....

I was up the front of the pack..... having fun...
with the ever watchful eyes of Rhino and Scorpygirl watching me...:rofl:
I was behaving myself... honest I was.:whistle:


Twas great to chat to Nodman at the AUT carpark and he allowed me to hop onto his cop bike.
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=24525 pics of it on this thread.

Yep it was so hot.... that I was naughty and rode in t-shirt, demin vest and jeans.

Great to run into so many KBers as well. So many to name them all.

Big congratulations to Auckland Ulysses Club for organising it.

1200 motorbikes and we raised $11,000 for the Westpac Helicopter lads.

[SlashWylde]

...and some more

[Madmax]

how many bikes this year
;)

[Scorpygirl]

About 1200 MadMax. But I would have guessed more as they seemed to be coming into AUT for ages. We raised $11,000 for the Chopper but this could increase a bit once all monies are counted. The new suits for the chopper team look really cool!!!

[SwanTiger]

Ah, hey thanks for stopping, it was lucky with the AA guy, he was a rider himself and was able to suss it out pretty quickly. However like most people, didn't know what the fuck a Hyosung was!

Had a couple of other people stop, one guy started talking to my missus about public toliets. Suppose he was a bit special?

Was great to watch the bikes though, some of those big bikes like the voyagers and goldwings looked mamoth compared to all the other bikes. 'Twas a beautiful site, pity it was from the other side of the road!

What happened to the majority of bikes once the ride was over? I imagine a few went Puhoi way.

[Maha]

Yes we ended up there for a few well earned bevvey's, met up with Busa pete and his good lady, then headed back to the Bridgehouse at Warkworth for another one..............:drinkup: all n' all a great day, roll on next weekend :yes:

[Leong]

Hey Swantiger, Bad luck today... guess we're lucky it didn't happen yesterday eh! Hope all works out well for you, and the bikes not off the road too long.

First time seeing so many bikes in one place for me... good to catch up with a few KB'ers. So hot today all my riding gear's in the wash!

[N4CR]

Nice ride, amazing amount of bikes.

Good to see you were a captive specator swanny :P

Puhoi was a nice stop, will go there again. And that v8 tractor with wheelie bars... jesus O_o

[raster]

Fantastic day, bike didn't fall apart after the hurried engine transplant last week, although I still didn't have second gear, which would have been quite handy today.

Great to meet people, although trying to find someone I know amongst 2000 people was a bit of a challenge at times. Still finding out who people are.

Spent about 5 minutes looking for my at the start.

Even the tractor came out to play.
Notice the front wheel is off the ground, does massive burnouts, wondered what the huge black marks on the road were when we turned up.

[Waylander]

Damn, should have come. Didn't feel like riding up to aucks after work saturday. Did a sprint to Paeroa and back today instead. Nice pics of the choppers though Slash.

[GT250R]

Absolutely gutted I couldn't join you all today!

Bad news about the Hyosung man, hope it's sorted out easily for ya.
my GT250r doesn't arrive till next week so it would have been hard for me to keep up on foot haha

Will definately join the next ride though! Get rid of this green haze that surrounds me (envy)

It was awesome to be part of that great mob, and everyone was enjoying themselves and riding with others in mind.

But I guess I must be getting old, coz out of all those wonderful riders, I couldn't help but notice all the kids that were on the back of bikes wearing only sneakers and sweatshirts. Maybe it's just me...I don't know!

[jaybee]

the little boy whom was on the side of the road as Sparkie said he's ok, i work with his grandma whom was on the ride also, she said he was all excited waving frantically at all the people on the overbridge, foot slipped and went between the back wheel and the swingarm, took a hunk of skin off but he is fine.... well a lil sore today couldnt walk on it this morning, how ever as the above post says about kids in sneakers lesson to learn here is this lil guy had proper riding boots had he not guess he would have lost his foot ............. something to think about eh

[R6_kid]

had an awesome day, bike started getting quite hot on the shore side of the bridge so i got off at onewa and took a 'shortcut' to AUT and got some video as all the bikes rode in.

Had a really good ride up to Puhoi via Coatesville/Riverhead, SH16 and Westcoast/Woodcocks road. I managed to get on the edge of my tyre with a pillion :shit: even tristan was a bit WTF as i was leaving tread lines on every corner :weird:

Cheers to Noel for the drinks at Puhoi and a very belated Happy Birthday to Christine! Good to see you working that VFR hard :2guns:

[Nicksta]

I thought the run went very well, i was on foot at Custom and Queen
Oh and the numerous complaints about motorbike riders not wearing helmets:angry2:

thought it was you, i waved, but you looked real serious.....:sweatdrop

yea, i saw 2 dudes with their helmets on their arms... lots of good they do there protecting their elbows.... silly boys :stupid:

was a great ride and i thoroughly enjoyed it.... thanks Rayza and Potzman for hanging with me on the ride :niceone:

[Mrs Busa Pete]

good day out got to blood stock centre about 9.30 good turn out more next time please no pikers its well worth the effort maybe prime would give us the coverage we deserve just have to get homes on the back of a bike. i thought there would of been more at puhoi for lunch but i gue ss there was lots on that afternoon here are some pics its hard to do the ride justice from the ground.there must be some great shots from the choper

[heavenly.talker]

Yes :yes: but the beast didn't like the slow ride too much, most speed is just between 1st and 2nd gear, I was wearing Leather, black helmet, gloves and boots, the heat from the 1850cc flat six plus the sun was :sweatdrop (the radiator fan was almost blasting at all time too)

However, I really enjoy the event, nice to catch up with some old friends and great to see so many nice bikes

Well who ever that Brian PRATT is.........
I sure hope that they or any of their family members, won't need to rescued and transported in the Westpac Helicopter at all, in their lifetime/s, after that comment. Man some people are so up themselves, that it aint even funny.

I bet by now after moaning and groaning to his mates (if he has any) and found out why there were 1200 motorbikes holding him up from him getting his latte and parking space for 10 minutes.. he should be now be feeling like a PRATT and hopefully be ridiculed by his so called mates and co-workers. I hope he feels real dumb about now.. the idiot.

[notme]

Well, we WERE asking for it.....being all loud, arrogant, and ill-mannered (according to the PRATT)

How dare we raise some money for a good cause??? I would have stayed away if I'd known I was going to inconvenience PRATTS for 10 minutes or so....his latte would have been getting cold!

[notme]

10 minutes, 10 minutes......Hmmm..... 10 minutes waiting on the side of the road.....or an hour waiting for an ambo to get to you somewhere where a chopper would be able to get in within....let's say for example - 10 minutes...

Some people live in a very small world huh?

What do you think?

What an arrogant piece of S.... BIG PRATT!!! :brick: His name says it all really! :laugh:

I think all of you have said it all. Damned if you do and damned if you don't!!

Some people - what is 10 minutes!! You are a long time dead. :headbang:

Like to see him try to raise $11,000 for a charity.

I second that Scorpy.... his loose change spent on parking and coffee could be easily spent donating to a good cause... considering he only lives in parnell..... why didnt he walk to the coffee shop??? or use his own expensive percolator at home?

Thanks for posting the response. It's nice to know that someone took the time to defend us :-)

The letter in question......

A whole 10 minutes!!!!!

And imagine those evil anti social bikers actually accelerating on the road while they had the right of way.
This is the end of civilisation as we know it.

Or is it????
