TRTNR - Wgtn thurs night ride 05/01/06

[madboy]

Be the first in 2006 to experience the exhiliration that is TRTNR.

Carpark, bottom of Maungaraki Hill, SH2 between Petone & Melling. 6pm for ride at 6.30. Usually ends up at Breakers pool hall (above Grumpy Mole).

Route to be determined at meet up. All paces welcome, the fast crew are smokers so they don't mind waiting.

Can't promise spectacularly calm weather, can't promise wheelies, stoppies or runners but the barmaid was hot last week, in a Lower Hutt kinda way, so that's worth turning up for if nothing else.

See yas there.

[skelstar]

I think Ill be there.

[Str8 Jacket]

I think Ill be there.

Ditto, as long as the wind aint to bad....

Unfortunately I must deduct points for her having no visible underwear. But were I not a married man I'd happily show her what only a Kawasaki owner can...

Doesn't look as bad as yesterday. A few of us headed round the lake and back and it was a tad gusty at times.

AND we saw a cop on the East West access road. :shit:

I'll be keen for tomorrow night.

You guy's are lucky you got back when you did....
Fark, it was soo bad last nite that the TV aerial has broken of the roof AND the BBQ got flipped over and blown across the balcony. I was all alone and scared last night.... :crybaby:

[James Deuce]

Thanks for the heads up. That's an unpleasant piece of news.

[cowpoos]

should hav call poos....I'ld be there with jelly in minutes :sherlock:

[Deano]

It was a marked station wagon so probably wasn't too interested in collecting tax, cause I mean he would have had us if he wanted :rofl:

We were doing just a wee bit above the limit - I stabbed the brakes initially then thought what the hell, it must be sooo obvious when the front end dives rapidly.

A brief glance was about all we got.

[skelstar]

Help me out here...is the east-west link blah blah the road between feathers and martinborough? Or maybe a part of the lake road?
Ta.

[Fatjim]

goes around the south side of the lake.

Take the very first right at Featherson, follow that for about 10-30 minutes depending on your speed and hang a left.

Ah, yes I know the one. What the hell would a cop be out there for? Weird. Playing 'hooky' maybe?

[madboy]

Ah, yes I know the one. Of course you do, it's the long straight piece of road where your bike develops a reverse gear.

Lucky, Deano. Wouldn't be my pick of roads for "avoiding" a ticket...

[Deano]

Not many escape routes, but a few hiding places.

Lucky he didn't see us a minute earlier on the sprint road.

[cowpoos]

oh god...lol...bit of a brisk pace long there huh?

[madboy]

Lucky he didn't see us a minute earlier on the sprint road.That's where you Honda riders go wrong... if you'd been on a Kawasaki on the sprint road, he wouldn't have seen ya :devil2:

[Str8 Jacket]

The road is not a race track! :nya:

[Velox]

Well it seems like we've lost our 'priveledges' at the GMole now. The afformentioned barmaid seemed determined to only let us have the pool table for the alloted hour that we'd paid for, and the food was 45mins late! Bit of a change from the free food and pool that we had a month ago. I'm wondering if it's cause we don't park our bikes right outside the pub like they requested, but I guess it's a small price to pay for being able to keep an eye on the bikes over the road.

Also, Fatjim said last week that evidently the guy that was up the top of the Takas in the cafe offered to keep the cafe open on a Thurs night if we give him warning that we're coming up. That could work one time eh. It's also good to hear that they're obviously going to open up again some time soon!!


Anyway, see you all Thurs.

:sick:

Not quite the sprint pace but........there was a K5 Gixxer and two 999's to keep in check.

The new barmaid probably doesn't know the rules. Will have to have a word with Sunny - get me to order this week and we'll see what influence I can exert.

[madboy]

[Wasp]

ive been out and about on and off the bike since about 12ish and it looks quite windy but i havnt had any problems on the bike yet.

im comming to meet and then I will decide once i know where we are heaaded

[skelstar]

Weather aint lookin brilliant and Im bored at work. I think ill go home and head out to breakers later if its dry. Have a good ride and might see yall later.

[VasalineWarrior]

@#$%* bike has been kidnapped by the evil bikeshopus gang, and I dont have the ransom money to resue my sweetheart until tomorrow (if they have in fact fixed it by then. Third time lucky but I wont go there), so will see you all at the pub. Was gonna take my bike gear in to get free pool but I hear that has stopped? Madboy, go chat her up and see what you can do (promise I wont tell your wife!)

[Wasp]

yea im out, weathers looking kind of alright but i cant find my polyprop and i dont want to freeze.

have a fun safe ride!

EDIT: just went upstairs to get food and theres a big fog cloud hanging in the way, looks like rain tonight after all.

EDIT: yeap its raining allright.

[Sparky Bills]

Good luck for the ride peoples!

Just started pissing down and hailing!

[Fatjim]

Yep it's pissing down. Are we still on for a beer and skank.

[Wasp]

its fined up lol, im considering a quick sprint down to see who is there.

[VasalineWarrior]

Hey sparky, hows the ducati fairing?

[Dafe]

its fined up lol, im considering a quick sprint down to see who is there.

Too slippery out there! Just had a decent scare so I'll coun't myself lucky and sit this one out.

You need a twin mate.

[Velox]

Argh - I've just got home from up in the hills now and it's prob pushing it to get out there in time AND it sounds like crap weather so I guess I'll flag too. I'll pop out to the pub later though.

[Dafe]

You need a twin mate.

Been there, done that! I think I was unlucky to have taken a corner through a oil patch. Lucky I was going so slow, the bikes rear wheel slid out and dropped away from under me. I stuck my foot out so my leg wouldn't get caught under the bike and my foot slammed the ground with my weight upon it, which reflected the bike back upright again. (Since I hadn't loosened my hand grip)
Darkman was right behind me, he agrees we took the corner at a sensible speed considering the raining conditions, he heard my foot skidding along the ground as the bike came back upright. Damn - Maybe I should have done motocross! It was a good save for an expensive bike. I was taking corners like a nana after that! I'm a little concerned about the Battleaxes wet handling too. It just doesn't add up, I'm thinking I must have hit an oil patch!

[skelstar]

Good to see TRTNR-ers down at the joint tonight. Was good to have a chat James.
Looking forward to next week already.
