Wgtn - The Real Thursday Night Ride (TRTNR)

[Drew]

Ha! *his* beer is MY beer.... And if you wanna drink you''ll have to get past me. I'll be locking the door!

If he can smell beer, they dont make a door strong enough to stop the giant bugger gettin through it.

[Fatjim]

Why did the Tim Allens grunt from Home improvement suddenly come to mind then?

[skelstar]

Cause your sense of humor is stuck in the nineties?

[Pex Adams]

If he can smell beer

Is it like possum, only not so 'game':bash::bash::bash:

[points]

sooooo.........what time are we leaving tomorrow night?????

[Deano]

Sometime soon after 6.30pm is my guess. Hope there's no frikken diesel on the road, cause riding to the potential conditions would be a bitch.

[Number One]

riding to the potential conditions would be a bitch.

Ride to the conditions, if they suck reduce your speed....Ride to the conditions, if they suck reduce your speed.

Can you hear that song in your head yet?!

bwahahahahahaaaa

[Lissa]

Might see you tonight. :yes: Not going up the hill though so i will probably be at the pub with a beer. :scooter:

[koba]

May be along for a bit but it depends on how the A goes.
Trying to get the new piston in tonight so it can be broken in before the first bucket meeting.

[Str8 Jacket]

You are going Mr! The A aint going anywhere and can be done anytime if need be. You NEED to for a good blat and you especially need an evening away from your bitchy girlfriend!! :yes:

[Blue Velvet]

Hey like how does the Ethiopian Vege Cart handle? How well does it absorb bumps in the road? Does it have USD forks?

I've been looking at buying one for the track and just wondered if you could recommend some mods I could do. Cheers.

I would definately recommend a Piston. Base Gaskets help to..... Doh! I dont think that Ethiopia is very big on USD forks, hence why the are missing....

All in all it handles just like you would expect an Ethiopian Vege Cart to handle, like a vegetable. Its great fun! :D

[Blue Velvet]

Does it come with an Ethiopian or is that an optional extra?

I want one that can carry baskets on their head. Do you know if this is something they already know how to do or whether I'll have to train them?

[sinned]

I could make it but may be late, get lost, or not keep up! So - what pub will the finish be at? In case I need to take a short cut.

[Blue Velvet]

I may not be able to attend as I have to find my inbred inner child

[skelstar]

Dunno if we are finishing at a pub, but no doubt we will be heading to one (pub in Feathers).

Things You'll Need

* skateboard shoes

Goddamn. Skateboard shoes! I knew there was a secret trick to getting it up that nobody was telling me about.

I'm off to mug a skateboarder for his footwear.

[RSV Boy]

Anyone going up to Manfield Sunday?

[Deano]

Anyone going up to Manfield Sunday?

Yeah but most likely with the tribe in the cage.

Oh and the after match party is at Str8's tonight isn't it ?

I hear she has beers.

[rickjames]

peow peow ..

[koba]

Hey its rick james!!!

I know who you really are: James Ambrose Johnson, Jr!

[Blue Velvet]

:sunny: Good ride, but I'm glad I'm going to Taupo. I need some more skills, heh.

[skelstar]

It was a good ride... nobody got confused and everyone turned up to the same pub. Amazing.

[Blue Velvet]

nobody got confused and everyone turned up to the same pub

Haha, wonder what happened to the guy I was instructed to try and retrieve last week :lol:

"And he was never seen again..."

[Fatjim]

Hey its rick james!!!

I know who you really are: James Ambrose Johnson, Jr!

He actually does have a striking resemblance to Mr Bean.

[Weaver]

It was a good ride... nobody got confused and everyone turned up to the same pub. Amazing.

Yeah but somebody couldn't find there way to the kebab shop

[Blue Velvet]

Yeah but somebody couldn't find there way to the kebab shop

It would have helped if the actual location was given. "Kebab shop" isn't very specific :Pokey:

At least I had the nous to let my fingers do the walking and gatecrash before you'd finished eating :lol:

[Freakshow]

About time I came saw what all the fuss is about.. This has moved so now starts at the same place and time wednesdays do right???

[koba]

yup, correctomondo.

[Deano]

c ya tonight.

[Canterbury]

Another great night, and another great ride to the pub and back... saw more cops tonight than i have in the last month, but they didn't stop any of us.
Patches of oil on the featherston side all over so watch it if your going over.- was even in the lane coming back before the hill top...

[Freakshow]

Thanks for the deisel warning Fatjim!! I could smell it all the way over and it looks like everyone made it home in one peice.

[Deano]

I saw two HP on the motorway at about 6.10pm.

The Repsol is not quite roadworthy at the moment and I was very tempted to bring the SV, but I took the two HP cars as an omen, and sat at home with a couple of Heinies instead.

The SV does have a numberplate of sorts......:innocent:

[Fatjim]

Yep, saw those 2, but its the TRTNR, cops are but a mozzie bite on the arse of wankerdom.


The three coppers on the top eating burgers (I kid you not) were there because of an anonymous phone call about diesel spilt all over the tukas.


FUCKING TRUCK DRIVIN WANKERS

[James Deuce]

I just spat fucking tea all over my monitor.

3 cars ? I'm surprised they sent any. Was the truck speeding and the driver on P ?

Trucks spilling diesel - this was raised at the Roadsafe seminars, but conveniently left out in the final report to the minister.

It was suggested that every truck fuel system (including filler and cap) be checked at COF time to try and reduce this problem, but alas.....keep bashing our heads against that brick wall....

[MD]

Twas an odd night up the hill.

First we headed down from summit to Feathers and one of our group throws away a perfectly tidy bike into the bush. I was infront but the rear rider described it as one of the most spectacular spills he's seen with sparks and scrub flying everywhere. He was Ok and rode home to assess the damage.

We heads back to the summit where some of TRTNR mob were hanging. Then we try a second attempt to head to Feathers with a guest in tow, only to discover the freshly laid diesel from top to bottom. I chased down a suspect stock truck but it wasn't him.

So at Feathers we see a HP Cop buying his tea and mention the spill to him. He heads up to check out the mess. We did tell him to finish his donuts first.

Then it turns funny. We have a snack and by 8.30pm it's all dark and scary so we decide to head home. Our guest rider, who will remain nameless, tears off into the darkness first. A minute or so up the hill behind him and we see the tell tale red and blue flashes in the darkness chasing said motorbike half the way up the hill.
Quite a weird sight in complete darkness how red & blues light up for miles!

The rider got off lightly considering he could have been walking for a few months.

The irony that he got stopped up the hill by the very Copper that he/we sent up the hill didn't escape us!

That was the worse diesel spill I've come across...you BASTARD :2guns:

[Tony & Carolyn]

With you all the way Mark...... whether it's a ute, camper van or truck if suspected they were spilling diesel i'd chase the fuckers down too!!!! Yeah i've paid the price for the cunt's filling up then heading over the hill as many others have too. It's not rocket science, if your diesel is leaking there's a big stain that you would notice if you gave a fuck about others live's. To truck drive's it's your bloody lively hood to know your truck and fluid's you fat lazy cunt's!!!! to the HP open your eye's to more than speeding vehicle's.....

[Fatjim]

I chased down a suspect stock truck but it wasn't him.



Yep, wasn't him, I think it was a the Articulated blue panel truck that went through. He was gone by the time I reached the bottom (slowest ride down there for a while thats for sure). Didn't catch what was painted on the sides.

[Weaver]

I think it was "Fosters" beer on the side. Not 100% sure though. Fucken cunts

[Drew]

What a bastard that these last few rides before daylight savings ends are ruined by inconsiderate pricks spilling gas on the road.

I might attend the ride this coming Thursday on the hill climb weapon:scooter:

Wont be riding at hill climb pace but it's a sexy beast that I'd quite like to show off a bit:innocent:

Well there's no reason why your bike should miss out on all the fun.

[Deano]

Well there's no reason why your bike should miss out on all the fun.

The bike will be in 'jail' won't it ?

[points]

The bike will be in 'jail' won't it ?

Well yeah me and the bike shoulda been in 'jail' under the boy racer act but thankfully I managed to talk the coppa out of it :cool: instead I had a very nice slow police escort home...

Bugga - was that last night - thought i saw you going over the rimas as i was coming back from masterton (checking out the way to Gladestone)

Yep it would have been me, I was talking to a guy on the k7 special edition up at the summit, ironically he was an x-trafic cop

[Deano]

Only 3 more TRTNR's left before the end of daylight savings.

Meet at Avalon Duckpond at 6.00pm to leave by 6.30pm.

[James Deuce]

Watch out for holiday traffic syndrome.

Have fun.

[Drew]

I think we might be there tonight, nice and warm, and the WMD needs more exposure for me to seel it. I'll do a listing on here for it tonight if ya know anyone wanting a real cool Ducati.

[skelstar]

Only 3 more TRTNR's left before the end of daylight savings.
Any chance you can slow down the attrition? I have about 5-6 weeks before I can negotiate my motorbike key-fob.

DISCLAIMER: I'll wait until Lissa reads this, I've been known to be inaccurate in my time assessments before.

Hmm lets extend this a little... lets say by MONTHS!!!!! Until you can go to the toilet on your own at least ;)

This ammensia thing is a worry, you are a Wednesday Night Rider, and you like to ride at my speed, and stop as often as possible so I can have a smoke and a coffee. You also love to clean my bike, and do basic maintence around my house, am saving putting away the firewood until you are well enough to help just like you said you wanted to do before the accident. :love:

Jeez, you're a hard bitch alright, taking advantage of the infirmed, that's double hard:shit:

[Fatjim]

Seam, your a hard man, who drinks everything neat, no ice. Rides fast, gives the bird while wheelying past, scraping you pipes along the side of any wanker that gets in your way.

You mistriss part times as a lingerie model while she's not washing your helmet. Your really generous to you mates, already planning to lend your next bike (1098s) to Drew and Fatjim for the next hillclimb.

[Deano]

Last weeks congregation was a little on the light side, but I gather that everyone was preparing for the holiest of weekends.

This weeks sermon will include the conversion of a Gixxer that has seen the light, or as it appears to be anyways.....perplexed ?

Come along and see for yourself. (providing it/he turns up)

Avalon duckpond, 6.00 - 6.30pm.

[Lissa]

Might catch yas at Feathers... I might have to confess my sins. :innocent: opps :devil2:

[Number One]

My big hair monster will be there on my girls bike :buggerd: But at least it doesn't LOOK or SOUND like a girls bike

[Str8 Jacket]

Have fun everyone!

As someone who just finished their apprentership a couple of years ago, all I can say is, thank fuck for that. It would been happening to me every week otherwise. Borderline verbal abuse is still acceptable though

Ever get welded into a steel cage?

[Weaver]

No, I was lucky in that my toolbox took all the physical abuse and me the verbal.
Anyway, enough talk, its time to go for a ride.

[Blue Velvet]

We want to be free
We want to be free to, to do what we want to do
We want to be free to ride, and
We want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man
And we want to get loaded

Jesus take me to a higher place
Sliding in 'n' out of grace
Christ - body and blood I crave
Sliding in 'n' out of grace, yeah

Cry for mercy, relieve my hate
Sliding in 'n' out of grace
Spill my seed, suck my waste
Sliding in 'n' out of grace

Oh God, how I love to hate
Sliding in 'n' out of grace
Save me Lord, and fuck the race
Sliding in 'n' out of grace
Yeah
