Sadly almost true - until this sunday that is - i'm planning on stealing Ray Clee's bike during the awards. Shhhh. It's a secret.

I figure with the **small** increase in power and handling over the SV i'll TOAST your flubby white butt boy!

you know me snip, im always keen for a ride. your bike must have been getting quite lonely without you

17th January 2006, 12:39

Just an idea and cause its a valid reason, Im thinking of a ride to akaroa so we can all get to know roks :spudwave: and get out on the road. Also I will have the cast off and I need a ride :scooter:

Im thinking an evening (Im working) on Friday Jan 27th or Saturday Jan 28th. Let me know your general interest and I can plan from there.

Could be temped, maybe.

Akaroa is still quite a long distance away.

Don't like riding in the dark, so what time of the day are you thinking of?

What's the pace? Top speeds of 80km/h?

Sniper

17th January 2006, 12:42

Back by 9pm, so it should still be light.

EDIT: What days suit you R1?

JWALKER

17th January 2006, 14:17

80 km/h ?, i would say add atleast another 40 km/h on top of that for miniuim speed

And 180 should be the min speed, IMO....girly girls and this 80-120 crap:puke:

Mate, it was a hard regime of beer and sitting on the coach watching TV to get looking the way I did. But yea, I suppose I am a bit of a fut bugger. :weep:

Oh gosh a ride would be great!! Either day would suit me, probably Saturdy so I have Sunday to recover :yeah:

sefer

17th January 2006, 17:53

Hey, I could be keen. I've been meaning to meet some CHCH KBers for a while.

All comes down to whether I'm actually up and running by then though. I'm hoping my bike will be done by early next week at the latest, but it'll depend on how my part hunt goes...

bigbadwolf

17th January 2006, 19:21

sounds like fun! i'm up for a nice big ride, just depends on whether i have a bike by then...

onearmedbandit

17th January 2006, 19:45

Working, unless it's an evening ride. In which case I'll probably magically get that day off, go out to Ruapuna and be too knackered to go. Usual story then....

miSTa

17th January 2006, 21:05

Could be keen on Saturday morning. I mentioned to my daughter this morning that we should go for a ride on Friday but Saturday would be fine if she is keen.

Would probably need to be back by 2:00 - 2:30.

Let you know asap, if so I'll be taking it easy.

Well... thats the Woodstock Rally weekend, so sorry Roks/Sniper but weather permiting I'll be on the coast, if its wet over there then yeah I'll be in :spudbn:

18th January 2006, 07:29

Well I might still plan on one of those dates and let ya 'all know when I get back from masterton.

If you ride on the Friday anytime after 1pm I'll proberbly be in otherwise on Saturday I may be heading to Woodstock.
This coming weekend would have been better, i have most of Friday and all weekend free this week.

18th January 2006, 10:52

Not sure about next weekend.

Only if it broke down.

And 180 should be the min speed, IMO....girly girls and this 80-120 crap
You're lucky enough to be in a position to afford a bike capable of such speeds and feel comfortable at it. Speeding tickets are obviously not of concern.

80 km/h ?, i would say add atleast another 40 km/h on top of that for miniuim speed
Can't do those speeds and already pay too much tax.

Anywhoo, no Im not keen on 80? Why 80?
Can't afford leathers so prefer slower speeds encase of a spill.
Bike hasn't been out of city limits for 4 years, don't want to suddenly stress it too much and have an unaffordable break down.

Back by 9pm, so it should still be light.
Prefer to be back in town by 6pm.

JWALKER

18th January 2006, 11:32

is 80 km/h max speed you want to be doing?

JWALKER

18th January 2006, 11:34

i like the idea of a staurday ride too

Aaron

18th January 2006, 11:48

Count me in if that's cool.

Have not met roks or sefer (I don't think). A nice ride in the cool evening weather would be nice. Was going over anyway to recce the Bruce Apartments, anyone know where they are in Akaroa?

Going out via Gebbies pass, or returning that way? Might be the small bike, but the straights out through Hawsel get a bit dull after a while.

Hmm... if I'm feeling crazy might trade in the GSX on the '04 zx10 at Norjos', could use it as a 'run in' trip :2thumbsup (think there's time to sit my full licence test by Saturday?)

Hey dude I ment no offence, no one gives a shit who goes and how fast they ride, you would be a cock to ride faster than you are comfortable going, (some of us learn the hard way:thud: )

and dude tickets SUCK! but its all part of playing the biker game, cricket players have to put up with injury, and bad press, we get tickets..

Flyingpony

18th January 2006, 12:01

More minimum speed (excluding hills or head wind) but definitely not above 100.

Also have to work next Friday now and off to Hokitika with the missus for Woodstock Saturday. So I can not join you next weekend.

22nd January 2006, 14:23

Word of warning, there are probably half a dozen patches of new seal (going both there and back, mostly on the hill section up and down) to watch out for. There's no sign posts, only orange cones on the curb near the patch so if you're not paying attention...

Just about all of it's on corners :slap:

MMmm, I'm going to do a big err on the side of caution and not go on this ride. Would hate to taken out by stones in corners and want to keep this bike's crash free history.

I wouldn't worry about it. The new seal looked a day or two old on Saturday evening, by next weekend all the crap will be gone, mind you the cones might be too but it's faily easy to spot.

Watch out for A-Holes, had one (yes in their 4x4 Prado) empty the ash tray out the side window at 100km right into my face!?!

Well there's erring on the side of caution and there's being paranoid. Perhaps you shouldn't go for a ride today seeing how it's a glorious, hot, cloud-free day just in case in rains? Stones are a fact of life, it's all part of the biking experience. :ride:

Back on topic, won't be joining in this weekend - off to Woodstock.

sefer

25th January 2006, 17:33

Well I'm not going to be running before then now :( Probably Monday or Tuesday before I have all my bits.

I'd be keen for a ride sometime in the near future though :)
