The other Feb 19/02/06 AKL to Paeroa ride for BOS (spectators)

[Drunken Monkey]

(Actually I appear to be in first this year.)

This is the one that caters to those of us who enjoy sleeping in and still have the ability (or at least think we have) to do the late run to Paeroa via the Clevedon/Miranda loop to turn up sometime shortly after the racing begins.

As per previous years, we don't want to miss too much, so we won't be sticking around. (SpankMe can tell you all about his birdstrike incident (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=9102)).

I can collect people at Caltex/BK Mt Wellington for a 9:15 depart, but the official meet up will be the usual place:

What: The 2006 Pearoa battle of the streets spectators late run, that's what!
Where: Shell Clevedon.
When: Meet up from 9:40 or so for a 10:00am departure.
How: Looping via Kaiaua/Miranda and finishing at Paeroa.
Special Instructions: Meet new KB'ers and organise your own way home.
Special Instructions for Nhuanh: Don't be a plonker this year.

The 'normal' meeting place & place to dump gear actually at the races is on the "grassy knoll" overlooking the hairpin.


There is normally another ride that leaves around 8:30 or so for those who prefer a more direct route and/or sedate pace. I'm sure the ride details will be posted soon (hint, hint).

Nhuan's check list.

1: Ensure it is a Daewoo free route taken
2: Spare Key ductaped to fore-head (we can assist it the fitting)
3: Rear cowl ductaped on, NOT TO BE REMOVED.

I think that will cover it.:blip:

[Riff Raff]

This ride sounds like me. Finishing night shift at 6am (hopefully) and can get a couple of hours kip before heading to Paeroa.

dont have a cowl on this bike.

Stop stalking me. No means no!

Damnit, women are always telling me no means yes. Make up your damn mind. :weird:

[DingDong]

The Tauranga crew (hopefully Rotovegas too) might stop in at Kopu for gas on the way through... if your heading through Ngatea we wont see ya, if your not we might get lucky.:scratch:

[Drunken Monkey]

Don't need to wait around for us, we go via Ngatea. Sometimes the tail enders do seem to get lost and end up in Kopu, but they're big enough and ugly enough to look after themselves...

[aff-man]

sound like a bit of me.... going through the hanua's or down the coast??

[aff-man]

Down the coast, not the Hunuas...

[aff-man]

Down the coast, not the Hunuas...

Shweet i should be in

3: Rear cowl ductaped on, NOT TO BE REMOVED.

I think that will cover it.:blip:

So if the rear cowl's ductaped on, where does the emergency fuel go?

[2_SL0]

Good point, he will have to get a pack rack. Or maybe sell the bike and get a bike that can take a pack rack, just a thought i hear its happened before.

[SlowHand]

The original post implies this will be a moderately fast ride.
Kawagreen - what are you doing on this ride? Sign yourself off before anyone sees.

[Potzman]

Where abouts is shell clevedon? is it easy to get to from southern motorway.

Also anybody heading down from north western?

To anyone planning on camping out in Paeroa, look for a gs1200ss and a fzr750 that has bugger all paint on the fairing pannels. See you there guys...

[loosebruce]

Dont know about you but it only takes 1/2 an hour or so to get there:whistle:

Yea Aff hoping to have the GSXR going by then, fingers crossed.

Anyone got an itinerary for the day?

Hi Drunken Monkey,

I have been asked take over the OTHER ride to Paeroa on Sunday which ZXER was organising. I was wondering if I can bring our group (currently leaving from BP in Manukau @ 9:30) and just come and meet up with you guys and we all ride together (you lead the way). It would be pretty silly having two rides 10min apart :eyepoke:

We should all be there before 10, if not could you hang around for a little while till we get there?

Cheers, saffa

Feck.... you gonna be passing me on the back wheel all day again arn't ya...

[Drunken Monkey]

Hi Drunken Monkey,

(snip)

Cheers, saffa

Yeah, no probs. Don't know about me leading the way though, I can never remember which right turn to take to Ngatea...

For those who don't know the route:
Leave Clevedon Shell, going North
Right at the round-a-bout
Follow the road...
Keep following...
Keep following...
Stop for a head count
Turn inland at the shops
Keep following...
Keep following...
Stop at Miranda for a head count
Stop at the main highway Mobil for another head count
Turn left, follow the highway
Turn right to Ngatea (I think it's the 4th or 5th right) = when we figure this one out, can you please turn then STOP and make sure the person behind you has seen you before proceeding.
Go down the straight bit, splatter a few birds
Left at Ngatea (maybe another head count, but if you're lost by this point, you're long gone)
Paeroa = fin

[saffa]

Sweet, I'll bring a map just incase

[Scouse]

Yeah, no probs. Don't know about me leading the way though, I can never remember which right turn to take to Ngatea...

Hi there the right turnoff is just past the steel girder bridge which is at the miranda turnoff or turn on which ever way you want to look at it the road that you turn right onto is called west canal road if you miss it no probs cos east canal road is just over the canal and runs paralel with west canal road at the end of ether of these roads you turn left and this brings you into ngatia

Cheers

Steve

[swanman]

I am in too. Weather looks perfect as usual. Anyone overnighting it down there?

[saffa]

All you guys and girls coming from Franklin area and up north, the two Auckland to Paeroa rides are now joined.

We're meeting at BP Manukau corner of Redoubt Rd and Great south Rd 09:00 for 09:30 departure, and then meeting up with the other ride at the Shell in Clevedon for the 10am departure, anyone is welcome to join us :scooter:

[danb]

See you all there at AB..

[crashe]

Righto you lot....

I want you all to take care and ride safe out there on the roads tomorrow, on the way there and on the way back to Paeroa.

I shall be thinking of you all tomorrow as I will be at home resting all my aches and pains after my wee crash on last Thursday arvo.

I would have loved to have been heading down with you all.... to watch the road races.



To all the KB racers.... all the very best of luck in your races.
I shall get to watch it all on tv when it is shown on TV1 sports.

[Ixion]

Well, all I can say is that the official decoy was sadly missed. Talk about roads crawling with plod.

[Drunken Monkey]

Only saw one rozzer the whole day, although we went the back way through Kaiaua.

[Ixion]

So did I. I waited at Kaiaua for ages for you. Then a bunch of bikes came through about 10:30 that I thought must be the beginning of the KBers so I tagged behind. But I don't think it was, was a bunch of HDs and crusiers and some sprotsbikes. All good though cos they set a nice pace (Harleys don't seem too good at acceleration, but) and I tucked m'self into the middle behind a Rocket 3 and had a brisk ride. Couple in front to keep any rozzers that we approach busy, and couple behind to occupy the rozzer who sees us go past and sets off in pursuit. First in line or last in line , gets the fine, I'm told.

[boomer]

Ixion, you shot off pretty darn quick mate. What happened to tagging along with us?? :ride:

[Ixion]

I waited for ages just round the corner - then went back and looked for you - and concluded you must have shot off while I was extricating the bike - sorry.

[aff-man]

Good ride there .... Good ride back........ good day out...

See ya all on the next one
