TRTNR - Wgtn ride 19/01/06

[madboy]

Well what do you know, it's another Thurs night ride. I'm sure Spank must be thrilled with me clogging up his server space evvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrrry week. But just on the off chance the Welly crew haven't heard of it...

Meet carpark, bottom of Maungaraki hill, SH2 between Korokoro and Melling. 6pm, ride at 6.30 sharp. Ride will conclude at Breakers pool hall, above Grumpy Hole in Lower Hutt. Riders are welcome to discuss bravery and over-hype ones brief moment of glory on whichever road we have just traversed.

Feel free to bring DVDs... Deano (if he makes it) apparently has some of Jimbo trying to stick something in his butt, and if Velox can bring any band camp ones that would be much appreciated. Mikey can make his own Ghostrider vids up front... Uppsala anyone?

[skelstar]

These TRTNR posts are getting earlier and earlier. Think MB is pretty keen to mix it up with the Welly Hcore...a bit of 'me time' MB?

[Slingshot]

You just don't want anyone else to beat you too it MB.

Someone should make this sticky and just delete the posts each week :2thumbsup

[Velox]

and if Velox can bring any band camp ones that would be much appreciated.
Eh???:scratch:

[phoenixgtr]

I will try to make it this week. Been itching for a decent ride

[madboy]

Someone should make this sticky and just delete the posts each week :2thumbsupExcellent idea... moderators, where are you??

I post when I have the free time... this week was Monday night. But don't worry, I'll be away for a week in surfers and might have to miss a couple in Feb, and the bike will probably be getting painted sometime soon... so for keen wannabe posters you could have an opportunity.

[Bartman10]

.. so for keen wannabe posters you could have an opportunity.

Or should that be posers?

We'll see ya there. :mega:

[Wasp]

might not come, cam chains are starting to sound too nasty and im too broke to get them fixed :(

[Moxy]

Damnn. I work every Thursday evening. Left a note on my bosses desk earlier asking if I can switch it out for a Monday. Got to get my priorities straight. :2thumbsup

[phoenixgtr]

Any other slower riders going? I don't want to hold up the pack by myself

[skelstar]

From experience: ya dont hold the pack up from the back.
Dont worry about it. Everyone insists on stopping every once in a while to compare lines and speeds etc...

[phoenixgtr]

Yeah, good point Skel. It just doesn't seem like much of a group ride for me when everyone else is miles ahead and I catch up in time to get going again and get left behind again. I'm not saying you guys should slow down. I'd love to be able to go faster. My bikes just a baby. Looking forward to the newbie ride if thats still on

[skelstar]

phoen - I usually have a lonely ride too (esp last week ;))...but I reckon it is more about the gassing when you stop, rather than the gassing on the bike.

[phoenixgtr]

You might be right

[skelstar]

...I maybe be crazy, but Im just the kinda lunatic youre looking for!!!

Thanks Billy Joel

[skelstar]

Youve gotta go where the mood takes you buddy.

[Fatjim]

so how about you get that mood to take you back into the closet then:lol:

[Wasp]

Don'y worry I always have this fealing when its just me an some gixxers.

[James Deuce]

Wash your mouth out Wasp. Gixxer. Hmpf.

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

OK I know Maungaraki - where do you ride to from there - over the Rimutaka and back??- I am riding to Wellington tomorrow and may be able to join you all.

[skelstar]

Often we do that route. Depends on weather. We usually decide when we leave...(and then change our minds apparently).
Catch ya there then?

[Sparky Bills]

Be carefull where ever you go. With the X-Games beingon in town during the weekend, There will be lots of visiters on the roads, and Even more coppas me thinks!

Just keep a look out.
May see you all there.

Ditto. I can't make it this week, but maybe next - I'm certainly not going to be too fast for you!

[Slingshot]

The weather looks like it's gonna be crap tomorrow.


Hitcher...Wherefore art thou Hitcher? It's time for you to get that bike of yours fixed (or replaced), strap up the shoulder and the resurrect TOTNR!!!
It looks like you'd have a reasonable following.

[skelstar]

Are you on drugs?...or baiting me?
The weather is going to be great. Woo hoo...weather looks fantastic for the start of my trip on Sunday. :banana:

[Velox]

Personally I reckon we should vary where we fo on these rides a bit more, just from the perspective of avoiding cop attention. So I'd be keen to do a diff road this week - maybe the one we were going to do last week (sorry Sean!).

new roads sounds good, only problem is theres only 3 main ways out of here......

[Velox]

Shhhhh. Even the trees have ears.

There are actually a few more roads that are good options though. It's just that none of them take as long as the Takas.

[Wasp]

meh, whatever. I dont know the roads well but I know a good back road out the back of martinborough but that would take too long.

was gonna type something else but i cant remember waht.

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

Hopefully I will be there, I'll have panniers on my bike - but hey they have never slowed me down!

[phoenixgtr]

Forecast for this avo is bright and sunny, although, I'll believe it when I see it. I'm keen to check out a different road, but I don't know any

[Sparky Bills]

Sweet! Well here ya go people...
We have somewhere to put beers!:laugh:

[Slingshot]

The weather is starting to look up!

So route A, B or C? We did half of A last week before it got a bit damp so then decided to do part of B...Perhaps we should try route C this week unless someone knows of a route D...there are some roads that go off route C which could perhaps become route D but I'm not sure what they're like.

From what I hear, there was an incident on route B earlier this week so there may be some ashes lying around still.

Confused yet?

[skelstar]

Well I scoped out route C for you guys last week. I wouldnt mind B, but then theres a bit of traffic on B isnt there?
Lets not to C if its wind-D.

[Skunk]

Just so you know:


NZ Police CommCens Alert 10:15 19-01-2006 Wellington

Location of incident: RIMUTAKA HILL, SOUTH WAIRARAPA

Incident Type: Diesel Spill

For motorists to be aware.
A diesel spill has been reported on every left-hand corner from the Featherston side up towards the Rimutaka Hill Summit.

Fulton Hogan has been advised & is enroute with sand.

Great...

[skelstar]

Thanks for the heads up Skunk...ohh...that doesnt sound good when you say it out loud ;).

[Slingshot]

So route A is out of the question now!

[Slingshot]

WGTN has turned out another cracker of a day!!!

I'm looking forward to tonight now, see you all just after 6pm

[Dafe]

Just so you know:



Great...

No Worries, My left hand cornering is fine anyway...... It's the right hand corners I need to smoothen up on!

Hmmmmmm - Interesting to see what Velox had in mind, possibilities of a D or E perhaps! (Is BM one of them?)

Yep, Night is looking fine, C U all there!

[madmal64]

Have a great ride all you guys & gals. I would have been there if that stupid person had not done the u turn in front of me on Tuesday.:angry2:
I had even arranged the day off today to do some work on the bike and then head out.
Anyway.... enjoy

[Bartman10]

Sorry folks, won't be there tonite. Feeling a bit off colour. :sick:

Have a good ride. :headbang:

[Dafe]

I was just thinking..... With the Licence suspension speed dropped to 140kph.
I wonder we will finally see a change in the behaviour of those awful cage drivers. Especially those maniac ones we see when we're departing Mangauraki.

[madboy]

I wonder we will finally see a change in the behaviour of those awful cage drivers. Especially those maniac ones we see when we're departing Mangauraki.I might have to slow down and find out... see ya soon fellas.

Which cage drivers?

[phoenixgtr]

Fun ride guys. I really enjoyed it. I'm learning so much with every ride.

Cheers for all the tips and help Skel. I appreciate it :niceone:
Have a good time down south.

Might see the rest of you guys next week, maybe

[skelstar]

It was a bloody nice night out there last night. Bit too windy out on the top of Paekakariki hill though. The ride around Grays Rd was great though.
Ta for the ride folks. An improvement on last week anyway ;).

[Hitcher]

I hope you enjoyed yourselves. Bastards.

[Drum]

I saw you fellas coming over Haywards and gave a wave. Good turnout - looked friggin' awesome!

[skelstar]

Yep, I saw ya Drum. Didnt know it was you though ;).

[Velox]

Beaut day for it! Good to meet you BloodyMadWoman. We went for a bit of a hoon down Wainui Coast road and found out she's a BloodyQuickWoman too! Let us know next time you're down.
