Was that your first time there El Hombre?

Will be making the most of summer's nights whilst we can and shall meet up with whomever else after the ride as we did tonight...seemed to work well too

But he black ZX10R looked better eh?EH! :yes:

A) Why didn't ya come over and say hi?
B) Where do you work and does it serve food or bourbon? [/QUOTE]

Yea most of them did :yes:

A) I was at work while you were at the pub and when you rode past I didn't want to come running onto the road to say hi.

B) Countdown so yea lots of food and we sell beer and wine but that's it

Countdown, it's sad really but Bungy mungy and Midnight mike work there too so it's not too bad

Surprisingly we have about 8 or 9 motorcyley interested people
as apposed to all the car fags:sick:

Met some of you last night at the Marble - Sorry I was a bit bashful as I did not come on my bike - will next time and join the ride as well.
Great meeting those that I did. - I go to the Oko regularly and it is a great place.
Must say it will take me some time to remember all your names - so forgive me in advance if I ask again.

Cheers

Cheers matey! Roll on Sunday!!!
Was a lovely night out for me. Thanks for the good company and a great ride over the hill. I ended up going back up the hill and had a blonde moment on the way home. I forgot to bungy my bag to my bike and about half way down it fell off. My mate Pete was a few corners behind me and saw my bag in the middle of the road so stopped and turned around to get it. As he went to put his foot down, the road was steeper than he thought and he tipped his bike over and almost dropped it. I got to the bottom of the hill and stopped and waited...and waited, then thought the worst! Went back up looking for skidmarks off the road but found him there with another guy who stopped to help him get his bike back upright. Got home eventually with my gear and my dodgey old bungy still flapping around on the back.
Hope to see you all next week.

You don't count as you also have a bike, Im talking about the one's ,

'bikes are dumb','you can't get phat sounds in a bike',I'm so stupid I actually think my $500 car with $2000 mags could give you 250 a good run in a race as 250's are still pertty slow.'

I once saw a drag race between a 6.6ltr firebird and a TZ250? (4 cylinder yamaha from the 90's), the tranzam got beat... then got pissed off and run the rider over, my bro then threw a strainer post at the guys bonet when he tried to gap it.
Problem with drag strips (Maru St in this case) they usually only have 1 exit.

There was $250 on the table... the rider got that because the dude in the car was a homo:yes:

Posers? What's wrong with habing a pic of you or a mate going hard out around a corner.Don't think we need four photagraphers though, BabyB, Dingdong (bikeless? Sold it allready?) and myself should be pleanty lol.

DD with the vid cam, BB cause she takes bloody great photos incase mine come out all shit. And me cause it was my idea and I want to practice getting good photos lol.

Talking to KArne, I think Monday might be better but most seem like thay are going for a ride so if you guys going on that know what time you'll be heading back over (if finnishing on the Kaimais) let us know so we can get things arranged and meet y'all at the top.

Anyway, G-string wants to know if photos are being done today. Could do other than I'm not really feeling like going anywhere at the moment (realy bad headache and a good book that needs reading)

So I will say tomorrow at 4pm (that enough time to get your kids sorted Karen?)
That way those going on a ride will have time to go and do that then meet us at the top of the kaimais.

The whole ride was just what I needed to finally try to get into the groove with the Aprilia. Some of those mid island roads really reminded me of some of the awesome Norfland roads we have left behind, I will be hunting them out again soon.
Enjoyed blasting home on the ZX10 as much as DMNTD enjoyed nana-ing home on the Aprilia. Looking forward to more of these Towelronga rides soon.:rockon:

Steve rang on Sat cos he needed someone to take the R1 over for a service; I was anally careful the whole time. Decided to catch up with the mrs who was in Whakatane. Mr Curly Tail was sat behind a light truck and got me at 70mph! Laughable if it weren't so sad. Equivalent of me not glancing at the speedo for 30secs...

Got 15dem left now, til Sept. So group rides it'll be, from now on.

Ok those going up to the Westpac Helicoptor run, since we'll be going through Kopu to pick up a few from Thames and such, say we meet at Summit BP at 8:00am? Gives us three hours before the start. Pleanty to meet others and then join the main KB group.


Looks like you, Ralph, G-string and I at the moment. Hope Mike either has a stronger thumb or new brake lever by then though.... lol

Change in plan on that Ralph. We'll meet at summit BP at 7:00am instead leaving at 7:30am

Still think we should do the same route though(waihi-tirau-kopu-auckland) may be longer but it's more fun.

Well finally getting out of this place and into a house near Bay fair where my bike will only be sharing the garage with 2 other bikes and my tools.

Me, my dad and my brother just signed a lease agreement for a tidy little three bedroom home and moving in tomorrow. So I may be offline for a while untill we get internet set up there.

I think all of you are on my buddy list so you can see my cell number in my profile if you want to get ahold of me before I get online again. Hopefully someone will be nice and keep me informed on what pub we are meeting at and any rides going on I might be interested in.

See y'all thursday wherever.

Sorry guys been slack, meant to post earlier...

Drivers Bar this week.

It's on 11th ave next to the mcdonalds on the corner of 11th and cameron rd.



i dont know... wot about "AJ's in Maungatapu" ?
i heard its its a possibility, but i aint been there


Aj's sounds good. How you get there? Is it over the overbridge at maungatapu with the shops?

has anyone who's been there actually recommend it? no offence but if we just start trying any and all bars that we've heard of then this could take forever.

So far the list of bars i have that people have recommended is as follows:

rose & thistle (done)
marble bar (done)
the flyover tavern (done)
drivers bar
barmuda
brewers bar
the cornerstone pub
worlds end (or whatever the pub is at fraser cove?)

have i missed any out? or are there any that you would like to add to the list?

come to think of it, we might as well do them in the order as above... gives us some form of order and that way everyone knows what's going on. any problems with that?

Sounds like a good ride - I'm still going to join in on a ride soon - promise,
- I should've yesterday - I had to work in the morning and decided late yesterday afternoon to go for a quick ride round the back of the lakes.
Roads were perfect and dry and so we did go 'quick' - coming back I binned it on a tight left hander. Slowed up too quick and straightened up - was crossing centre line and see a ute coming - It was a case of hitting him head on or dropping bike - took the latter option - hence I'm able to post this. Stupid! Stupid!
Lucky it was a left hander - Only a bit scratched up on the left and indicator gone as well as gear change busted. Managed to ride home but had a painful night - hurt rib and pulled shoulder.
Hopefully see ya all on Thursday night.

What a loverly ride. Thanks chaps and chapettes. Them icle 500 Suzi's can bloody move can't they!. Bit of luck with the fuzz (for a change) just before Paeroa. Still can't believe the size of that burger at Kopu.
Your right on all counts, awesome riding with Dragonfly everytime, I smiled for our group when we saw the fuzz cause we was being good citizens as we usually are:yes: , and yep, I reckon there is definately a nationwide challenge on to see if that burger can be beaten. In fact Im specially going to go back and order one so we can post a pic and see who else can come up with better. Mind you, I will be taking a couple of fellow hungry bikers with me cause there's no way I can eat one of them:sick:


good one ID
hey thanks for putting the ride together in short time karen.
premo ride those southerners seemed to agree:rockon:
Yes thanks Karen, was one of those most awesome last minute rides and given we didnt get home until after 7pm was a good days outing. Thanks too you guys for taking us up to that lookout at the end of the day, I will certainly be making that a tourist attraction for future visiting KBers:niceone:


Mustn't forget dmntd and his part in organising, cheers:rockon: . Lets keep riding:scooter: :yes: .
Yep dmntd always good for knowing whats going on and great he could make it up to the meeting point to meet everyone. (Pissst, did you say riding, motorcycles? really? cool:msn-wink:

Shame we missed them would have really made up a good group that was already happening. Five of us (four bikes) had an excellent cruise back home from Paeroa was one of the best riding days I can remember in a while (well from the point of view I was actually riding well for a change):Punk:

Fucking Karma....
Well, after everything looking to go smoothly for tomorrow, my fucking bike catches fire outside of dicksmith on 11th. Regulator rectifier is completly fucked now and the bike only runs for aslong as the charge in the battery lasts.

Didn't even get a chance to scrub in the new tyre. Mark and Rick will be laughing their asses off reading this, the shit I've given them while off thier bikes.

So for those that were gonna be riding up with me from Summit BP for the Westpac run, I wont be there. Wont even be able to ride till I get a new reg/rec and god only knows when that is gonna be.

Funny thing, pushing the bike along the causeway twords bay park (where I was when the battery went flat, just after the bridge then the uphill where it opens to two lanes) A guy on a BMW K100 going the other way turned around and came back to see what was up then went home to get his trailer and while waiting for him a guy on a silver and grey R1 (also going the other way) also came back to see what was up. But the 4 cruisers that went past heading the same way as me just road on past without so much as a wave.



But on a possitve note, the new tyre has a bit more profile to the tread so I don't have to worry about running off the edge of it as often.

At least yours gave you warning. Mine died without warning so I carried on riding and the @#$ng thing cut out at night in the gorge between Waihi and Paeroa. If your reg/rect gets too hot like my viffer one you might want to fit a small PC cooling fan or a big heatsink to the replacement. It's a piece of p!$$ to do. Seems to have stopped my new one melting.

Alternatively I've heard good things about these guys who make "better" replacement ones. http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/

rose & thistle (done)
marble bar (done)
the flyover tavern (done)
drivers bar (done)
barmuda
brewers bar
the cornerstone pub
worlds end (or whatever the pub is at fraser cove?)

have i missed any out? or are there any that you would like to add to the list?

come to think of it, we might as well do them in the order as above... gives us some form of order and that way everyone knows what's going on. any problems with that?

Just thought I would share this song, link in my sig for the video.


The saints are crippled
On this sinners' night
Lost are the lambs with no guiding light

The walls come down like thunder
The rocks about to roll
It's The Arockalypse
Now bare your soul

All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe

Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring that hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high

The true believers
Thou shall be saved
Brothers and sisters keep strong in the faith
On the day of Rockoning
It's who dares, wins
You will see the jokers soon'll be the new kings

All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe

Rock 'n roll angels bring that hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring that hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high

Wings on my back
I got horns on my head
My fangs are sharp
And my eyes are red
Not quite an angel
Or the one that fell
Now choose to join us or go straight to Hell
