Dunedin KBers

[bigbadwolf]

I'm heading down to Dunners on Saturday for university, my first time away from home!!! :bye:

So what I want to know is... who are the KBers in Dunedin?

We should organise a couple of rides sometime soon, so I get to know the city, and the best pubs! Just look out for the guy on the red Xelvis, who can't change gear to save himself (I'm blaming it on my new boots...)

I'll make sure to give you a wave :2thumbsup

Yours sincerely,
bigbadwolf

[SpeedyGirl]

Keep in touch as I head down to Dunedin a lot!!

[scumdog]

Virago? magg? Hollowman? anybody???

How do I do that?

[scumdog]

How do I do that?

Dunno a quick way but click on Members List at the top, look up the names I mentioned earlier (Virago would be a good one to contact) and send a PM to the one you want to contact.

Anybody got a better/quicker way?

I'm not a dirty old fart but I know what it means... eww yuck... but at least all those years of looking at internet porn weren't for nothing! :puke:

Just call me Clark from now on...

[[ENDLES]]

I would be keen. Im using the bike every day now. We are going to pick up magg's new bike this afternoon. Hopefully she will stop nagging about it before then :nya:
I know she would be keen too.

[gamgee]

me too...
yeah i'm at uni too, i usually park under the isb, mines the shiny black ninja (i just waxed it)

[thehollowmen]

I'm moving between dunedin to Christchurch.

Give me a PM on a weekend and chances are I'll be down here and would be happy to meet up for a beer.

[bigbadwolf]

Definitely shouldn't be abbreviated. My gosh we are a bunch of deviants.

I'll post up a thread sometime this week about going for a ride, I'm pretty busy sorting everything out right now but maybe next weekend?

[Virago]

Sounds good to me.:niceone:

[Virago]

(Bump)

I'm guessing we're all huddled around heaters here in Dunedin?:cold:

Not interested in a ride myself in this blurdy weather. I don't envy the guys away at the March Hare....

haha yeah i sort of wormed my way out of that ride last night, bloody glad i didn't go cause it's ffffreeeezing!!! might go out for a surf later on tho :crazy:

[bigbadwolf]

Oops sorry have been really busy lately so havent had the chance to even get onto the computer to organise a ride!!! Yeah this weather sucks. I'm glad to have a nice warm jacket... and an electric blanket... but the frickin heater in my room doesnt work!

How about a wee blat around the hills tomorrow (Sunday)? As long as the weather is decent...

Oh and before I forget, where's the best place to go to for servicing? My brake light doesn't go on when I pull the front brake lever (still works with the back) and I don't have the means to try and fix it myself.

[Virago]

I don't think there's any bike service places up the Uni end of town, they are all at the south end of the city. I get all my servicing done at Honda Otago in Princes Street, they are pretty good to deal with. If you need some tools to fix it yourself I can probably help out.

The forecast is not too good for tomorrow, but let's see what happens in the morning. I'm willing to get out for a quick blat if there's no horizontal rain / hail.:2thumbsup

[slimyxylofone]

I'm third year Uni. Ride a blue Suz GN250 (without an exhaust silencer at the moment, so it sounds badass). Live close to uni so no need to ride there to lectures.

I'd be keen for a ride some day when it's not freezing, as long as the pace is within a 110km mark, as I'm on a learners and am riding a GN.

I took a ride out the coast yesterday (Sat 04 March) and shit was that scary. Those roads are horrible! Man hole covers, paint and gravel on every second corner! Two buses had a minor head on too!

You sound like you're in a hall bigbadwolf, how are you finding it?

Jesse.

[bigbadwolf]

Jesse.

Yup I'm in Aquinas, way up on the hill lol. It's a half hour walk from campus which kinda sucks. But the people there are really nice so I'm enjoying myself!

And yeah I'd probably be keeping the speed down on our rides because I'm on a 250 as well, doesn't particularly like high speeds but not too bad as it's a V-Twin rather than a single. Doesn't sound too much like a sewing machine like other 250's tho...

I usually park under the Archway lecture theatres, if you see me there then come say hi!

Went for a drive with Ken (Virago) today (thanks for that, was good to meet you!) and we'll probably organise a big ride in about 2 weeks if the weather is good.

[Virago]

Nice to meet you too Clark. Sorry the drive around got a bit disorganised! But I hope you got a better "lay-of-the-land" and some ideas for some local rides.

Yes, a slow-to-medium speed ride in a couple of weeks would be great. We've got a few riders here on learners licence, so this would suit the majority. Who else would be in?

[gamgee]

yeah i've got a decent circuit sorted for dunedin now, start somewhere in town, or near uni, whatever suits, go out to st kilda, just to get warmed up, nice cruise along john wilson drive, back over, past st clair, then up through the twisty backroad to caversham, through the 80k zone to blackhead, and around to green island, then out to Mosgiel, (you can see where this is going) through mosgiel and a quick blat over three mile hill, then maybe around the backroads of ross creek if it's dry (to slippery if it's wet) takes less than an hour, but heaps of fun

Ah, high altitude Aquinas, good times! Was in Cumberland a few years ago. Halls are good, but a bit of a pain in the arse by the end of the year :eyepoke:

I'd be keen to go on some rides pretty soon. Gimme a PM a few days before hand and should be sweet. I'm on Harrow st with enough parking space accross the road to sort our shit before we leave if we need a meeting spot.

I'll keep a look out for a red Xelvis (Honda right?) under archway and Black Ninja under ISB.

Ha! BigBadWolf will be all clued up for doing that run with you - Mrs V and I took him out sightseeing in the cage yesterday and we did almost exactly that run, including John Wilson Drive. The only bit we missed out was the back roads through Blackhead, we shot out to Mosgiel over the motorway instead. We even took the windy roads through Ross Creek on the way back down to the Uni.

By the way Gamgee, was that you I saw getting on to a Ninja in Lower Stuart Street this morning (about 11ish)?

I working in Gymeeze shop right where you were parked. I went across the road to the car for tools, and saw you getting on your bike. I hesitated about approaching you ("Er, excuse me, are you Gamgee?"), by which time you were gone. Next time!:laugh:

I think I had the same thing with Gamgee today, were you parked in the motorbike park near the Burns lecture theatres today? Beside a bright blue GSX? Saw someone getting on a black and red ninja but going up to some random asking if they are "Gamgee" kinda put me off :p

Stupid anonymous internet names...

Yup sounds good, I'll sort my shit out asap and post up some times that I'm free. And yeah its a Honda, has Xelvis plastered all over the fuel tank and has quite a weird fairing on the front because bits are missing lol. If you walk past Unicol towards the OUSA lawn it will be on your left under Archway, there's a guy who parks his silver Beemer there as well.

You mean outside Dick Smiths? Yeah I was late to meet people so couldn't stop and say hi.

And re the soccer, are you guys a very competitive team? Cos I'm more of a "social" player... if you know what I mean... only position I can play slightly skilfully is goalie, out on the field I'm hopeless lol

[gamgee]

oh ok, yeah it's quite competitive, there probably are a few social teams, i'm not too sure.
but i saw you along near the well, um not that i was in there on a tues arvo or anything :innocent: but along near the bowler

[bigbadwolf]

**BUMP**


Anyone up for a ride today?

[Jantar]

How about tomorrow?

We can do the short loop up through Middlemarch to Alexandra and back to Dunedin via Milton. Or the long loop over the pig route to Alex, via Queenstown to Gore, then back to Dunedin. Either way I'd join in at Alex and complete the loop after everyone else drops off in Dunedin. :ride: :ride:

Sweet what did you buy?

:Edit: Dam should have checked your previous posts, go the CBR! I want one now!

Although there hav been a few nice FZR400's on Tardme lately... so tempting....

[slimyxylofone]

Hey Cabbit, was that you buying the CBR250 late 80's model on Tuesday with your Dad at Otago Honda on Princess St??

I was the guy who took the ZZR250 for a test ride. Nice bike - pity about the pink/purple paint work though. Getting back on the GN afterwards sucked.

If that was you, how'r you finding the new ride? If it wasn't, just disregard my whole post :)

If anyone knows of a good cond ZXR or CBR on sale then PM me, as I'm very interested!

Hope they get the bike to you asap Cabbit. Good to see a dunedin KBer getting their wheels turning :soon:
