Tauranga KBers, ride times

[DingDong]

Hi guys,
I was just wondering... If we were to organise a mid week ride, what would be the best time to suit as many as poss...


I would be avalible between 5pm- 7pm all week for example...

[Highlander]

I work 7 to 7 (2 days, then 2 nights then 4 off), so depending on the day I'd be keen.
Reading the posts here I'd say I'm probably a bit slower than a lot of you guys but I'm up for it.

Regularly go for a couple of hours mid day (Wife at work, kids at school) timing.

...Reading the posts here I'd say I'm probably a bit slower than a lot of you guys but I'm up for it.

I cant keep up with some of the guys either... need to get a fast bike:niceone:

[Highlander]

Not using mine to its full potential yet. Still getting back into the swing of it.

By the way I voted for a couple of time slots in the poll and it shows as multiple votes (oops).

[saul]

I am a bit useless doing the week, I have the young daughter ballet run, then the number one son work run, then the look after the wife time:hug:

I will watch this thread though because sometimes I can just disappear like the ghost who walks.

Cheers.

Has Mark made it back yet:corn:

[Idrumm]

Good idea Wayne, maybe Mike will bring his trike that will be interesting.
Any time after 4.30 Pm w/days is good excluding Wednesday.

Cheers.

Hey team, I am up for anytime tuesdays, and most mondays, usually start work around 4pm weds - sund. Can always make the pub meeting after rides at the Navigator in the mount (next to bobbys massage parlour, You know where that is right ;) ) I will be happy to pour your drinks. :)

Ps Opps that is once i get the bike back on the go. :brick: . And highlander you havn't seen slow till you see me ... :P

[2much]

Anytime's good for me at the moment, once I get another job thing's will change though..... and of course I'm always up for the pub!!

Good idea Wayne, perhaps we should organise something like what the vegas crew have (thurs nights i think), maybe even intergrate it with theirs?

Darrell and I maybe going to Vegas Thursday night, I still havent made up my mind because of my early start time the next day (4am), but more than likely I'll be there at Hennesey's

[2much]

Gimme a yell if you guys decide to go and I'll probably come with you

[Blink]

definately keen for a ride after work, nothing like swapping the shirt and tie for helmet and gloves.

although weather doesnt look too flash this week

[Goblin]

I can sometimes do 9am-2pm rides on a Thursday and Friday. I'm trying to make the Thursday night thing a regular but it doesn't always go to plan. Hope to make it this week.:ride:

[DingDong]

We'll let you all know what were upto tomorrow afternoon, prob meet at start of Pyes Pa Rd at 5pm, but all depending on the weather like Blink said.

[emaN]

cool!

will try & rally the troops to ride back here wiv' yas...show you a nice bit o' road that's just off the Tga Direct road!

[DingDong]

Shit I got wet comming home tonight... so if its not raining tomorrow (Thursday) Darrell and I will be waiting at the start of Pyes Pa Rd at 5pm, we'll give ya 10 mins grace... or you'll be racing to catch us up(there are a few sections of new seal, B carefull)... we expect to get to Henneseys at 5:30/45, It would be quicker for a couple of us to go the other way I think so we'll see how we go.

[MidnightMike]

Hey wayne you got a Black helmet?

[flash]

i can do stuff after 4.30 on weekdays, but first i gota find another bike (mabye a couple of weeks) and also thats peak traffic time, where about were you thnking of going?

Weather permitting, I'll be there at 5. Would be quicker for me to go the other way but the roads boring and I don't know where Henneseys is anyway.

C u guys there.

[Waylander]

Anyone keen on a ride today or tomorrow? Don't care where we go as long as it's fun and not to early (after 10am would be preferable) sunday is the only day of the week I get to sleep in.

[Highlander]

Today and tomorrow will just be riding between work and home - sorry.

[Waylander]

Well if anyone is up for one give me a buzz since I can't get online whenever I want anymore. zero two one 160 6380.

Edit: its called user notes ;)

[Waylander]

Doesn't charge me for peaple to call me and collect calls require my ok to be put through. Anyone calls I don't want to talk to I'll just hang up on them. Most from here just get added to my phone book anyway. Have about 30 KBers phone numbers at the moment lol.

[2much]

Couldn't agree with you more Highlander.
That's why it's taking me so long, can't bring myself to remove the pic of that beautiful bike :(

[MidnightMike]

Is your gsx250 blue?

[2much]

Nope, used to be gray but I sprayed it green

[Waylander]

Paeroa was very nice today and the gorge was a nice treat. Shame about it being 80k but who ever really follows the speed limit exactly anyway... hehe

Changed my name because its my real name... and I dont want to get arrested because of it.
I was playn around making animated GIFs, thought I'd use one... its going to change when I have some time, might make a spinning 360 veiw of my bike... that'd be pretty cool.:yes:

[Highlander]

That would be cool.

Went for a ride today to Whangamata then over to Kopu, back via Paeroa, Te Arhoa Kaimai. Good day for it, home in time for a kip before Night shift.

[Highlander]

That's all I do most weeks.
Hewlets road doesn't quite cut it though.

Agreed... but it was pretty clear today??? dont know why

[Highlander]

Works for me... but I bet if I take the ute to work everyone will pack the roads again... took me 1hr 10 mins to get to Greerton last Firday (50mins to cross the bridge!):angry2:

[Highlander]

The times I travel it is usually pretty good unless I get a week of office hours or summint (usually avoid them though).

[Waylander]

Just so y'all know, both main roads from Tauranga/Mount to Papamoa/Bayfair shopping centre have road works. The one that goes by Baypark raceway is nearly all new seal.

[Waylander]

Came through it today and a fair bit has been cleaned up but they did another section closer to the track.

Came across someone on ared FZR who followed me all the way into Papamoa. Anyone we know?
