Piha via Scenic Drive - Sunday 8th Jan [Archive]

7th January 2006, 20:31

Alright all you sissy boys/nanas/big girls blouse's, get yer asses down to Shell westgate at 1pm for a nice little blat out to Piha via Scenic drive for a feed/watch cool surfer dudes/stare at hot chicks in bikinis.

Rather just keep it to sprots bikes, pace will probably be medium-ish, but i will have a person stop at each major interestion (there is only one or two) so that everyone knows where to go. So if you aren't a fast rider dont worry bout getting left behind.

So far it's TristanKKK, Aff-dude, and the Sexy VFR chick (aka the C in CaN)... so if you are youngish then i hope to see you at Shell at 1PM

I will wait till about 1.30 before leaving.

The route will be: shell westgate - motorway to lincoln road - universal drive - some road through swanson - scenic drive - piha road. If you go to www.wises.co.nz its easy enough to follow.

Sorry if thats all confusing, im in a talkative mood tonight (if you couldnt guess) hopefully its been slightly entertaining :Pokey: to read.

My cellfone number is 0272532246, so text me if your gonna be late or want to know if you qualify as 'youngish' or 'cool' :apumpin:

I object!!!!! :2guns: Since when have others on cruisers and tourers been excluded and what's with the youngish statement - Age is relative!!! What has Christine done with Noel? ;) And won't he be lost without her for the day!! :blink:

i knew this would tie some peoples undies in a knot. A lot of the time these rides happen without people knowing, i just wanted to go on a ride with people of a similar age, nothing against anyone else. If you want me that much just PM me and we can go for a cruise some time.

The 'Wing can handle medium/fast pace without any difficulty. Am I allowed to participate, or do I have to leave you all behind at the start?

Err you ride a goldwing :2guns: thats like 50yr old man cool. :sleep:

Unless you're one of the crazy goldwing riders that is knee down all the time, and can actually pop a wheelie on it, i suggest you stick to SH1.

This aint airline training man - its fricken TOP GUN :Punk:

It is quite easy to pull a wheelie on a Goldwing. Scraping the pegs isn't that dificult either.:cool:

Regarding airline training, I did my PPL (Private Pilots License) have you??? You can't be a Top Gun without learning the basics first. Some of the things that you learn in aviation come in useful on a bike, as I'm sure that other pilots on here will confirm.

7th January 2006, 22:27

what a dude. I fly skyhawks and hercs mostly. Dont crash unless i want to. And flightsim is my life, and i already got all of them since FS5.1, i am the l33t flightsim guru so dont be dissing my glidescope YO!

whats with all the tantrum throwin? And YOU know YOU want ME, its a fact, your an older woman, you cant help but fall for me! Ask Keystone, Crashe and VVV, they all love me :baby:

been doing flightsim since i was 6, got serious about the age of 10. Never got around to doing the real thing. However i am 3 years away from being a pilot in the air force. Not quite top gun, but when the NH90's arrive i'll be making sure its the next best thing :devil2:

I'm talking about REAL FLYING. Yes I have had every MS-FlightSim since 1.0.

Unless you have done real hands on flying, you have no idea what it's about.

7th January 2006, 22:37

done an hour in a CT4 and an hour hanggliding, also sat at the controls of a Hercules at 35,000ft (real life).

Very soon i will be clocking up a few hours, not so much to get my PPL but i have a few mates that are almost there.

The airforce prefers pilots to be trained ab initio so that you get into 'their way' of flying thats why i havent gone for the PPL.

Owned. :sherlock:

are you going to join us tomorrow?

FS didnt become and acutaly flightsim til v4.0, and it didnt really become anything like flying until FS2000. The real place to do flight sim is with X-plane.

So you have turned your other team member away from this ride... is this the end of Team MILF ?

Oh well its your loss to not have us three escorting you to Pihia...

7th January 2006, 22:49

Mr Skid cant join you as you have stated its ONLY for SPROTBIKES..
and alas Mr Skid doesnt own a sprotbike.

Poor Mr Skid left out in the cold as well......

Mr Skid

7th January 2006, 22:50

are you going to join us tomorrow? First you say it's a medium-ish paced ride for sports bikes and then you invite farm bike along?
Has all your unspent teen lust unsettled your brain or summat?

The route will be: shell westgate - motorway to lincoln road - universal drive - some road through swanson - scenic drive - piha road. If you go to www.wises.co.nz its easy enough to follow.

can I suggest a possible (more interesting) alternate route from westgate to scenic drive?

Don Buck road -> Red Hills road -> Sunnyvale road/McEntee road -> across the intersection on Waitakere road and into Bethells road -> Te Henga road to Scenic drive.

They're less suburban than going through henderson/swanson and bethells and te henga roads are quite nice. The other roads are more interesting too.

I'll see you at westgate.

I'm sorry that your running around with a chip on your shoulder but your arrogance, stupidity and disrespect is not really welcome or appreciatied by this member.

The Stranger

8th January 2006, 09:01

Just so everyone knows...i wasnt part of the "lets just invite young people" idea. Im sorry to say that i will have to agree with Wendy on this one. This site is for everyone and i personally enjoy riding with all ages.

Considering i have only had my bike for a couple of days i wouldnt mind having a more "mature" rider out there to look after me :2thumbsup (notice the word old isnt in there :oi-grr: )

Im still going to be there for the ride but the more the merrier in my opinion.

Come on guys, a ride is a ride! :yes:

okay, so i was bored. If you talk to some of the 'older' members in auckland you will find that I too enjoy riding with people of all ages - how else would team milf have started???

if it was a 250's only ride no one would have complained, its just a ride so come if you want - its not my road!

:ride:

Gareth, are you implying I'm old? Mate, when you can ride faster than me on my bike round Pukekohe, you can call me old...:rofl: You missed another good one on Friday!!

lmfao at thread.

Love ya Gareth!

R6_kid

8th January 2006, 09:48

just read the first thread and it dont say anything descrimintating about age - just that if your 'youngish' i hope to see you at westgate. So what happened to all those 'young at heart' folk out there?

Well, no, probably not - at least not until you can afford to fix it if you break it. You'll prolly beat my 1:17 on your first lap out on the R6 anyways.

R6_kid

8th January 2006, 09:57

it sounds like a great ride, having such sports bikes like goldwings, farm bikes, and cruisers that will be a huge sport bike ride, and only young people allowed so that's anyone under 80 thats wicked. woo hoo.
dam ill just get the old nifty 50 out and tag along.
did you say you will wait at every corner?

mate if you came on a nifty fifty that would be cool :not:

but it would be a case of see you when you get there, or rather, will wave at you on the way home :spudwave:

yeh, we got held up a little buy some guys on cruisers on the ride back along scenic drive.

Saw a few goldwings before we left, hoped it was rhino coming to show us how its done but alas none of them pulled in.

Was a good bit of fun, especially watching dave discover what vinegar in a bottle is! :slap:

8th January 2006, 17:36

Good to see you guys.. and yes beware of the vinegar dave.
Oh and gareth... loved the stiff arm!

Yeah it was. I thought that number plate seemed familiar. Anything exciting down that road you turned down before Kuemu?

9th January 2006, 11:10

Sorry I missed the ride, there was a road accident of some kind at the end of old north which meant I had to double back to Waimauku and take SH16 to Westgate from there. You guys must have already left by the time I finally made it there. I ended up doing a bit of exploring around the senic drive area, including Huia, Piha and Bethels beach. Some really good roads around those ways. Saw quite a few bikes but mostly cruisers and turkeys on mini choppers.

Hope you guys enjoyed your ride.

Shit that's at least 2 accidents in 2 days then on old north road.....
Came flying around the bend onto the one way bridge on old north rd to find a brand spanking new beemer wedged into a cage half way accross the bridge...rider was a tiny asian bird, bike and cage bent to shit but the rider was aok...seems the cage didnt give way...:Oi: Bastard....

Ahhh, if you hadn't have posted I wouldnt have clicked. I thought it was a TLs following me (your model sv and the TL's look very similar when they're in your mirror!).

That road comes sorta into the back of Kumeu then back out again onto the road 500m down from the accident. I was heading back to coatesville. Bloody huge detour if you ask me!

justsomeguy

9th January 2006, 11:31

Nice ride guys and a nice slow to medium at times pace..... I guess we could have done better if there was less traffic.:doh:

Oh and a big :finger: to all the idiots on this thread with no sense of humour... leave Gareth alone...... young/old..... PC bullshit......

Hey Chickenfunkstar - dunno if you recognised Erik and me late last afternoon as we passed you in the opposite direction :spudwave:

See you'll next time.

Yeah, we got turned around at that one. Thought it might have been a bike for some reason. Those one way bridges through there are dodgy. Have had a couple of incidents where cages have not given way and I've had to slam on the picks. Guess they have trouble judging how close we are to the bridge before we get there. If you're riding Old North and Peak Rds, be careful on those bridges, someones going to die on one sooner rather than later.
