Anyone keen to get together on Sunday late morning (coz early ones suck) and have a play at a few locations out and about.
Prefably wana keep the group small, so only peeps interested in actully doing shit rather than sitting on the side line, will try and hook up a couple of our resident snappers to come along.

Main reason is i can't be fucked going on a big ride, rather just play round using less than a tank of gas and giving the tyres an easier time, and hopefully not looping it. Plus with the added bonus of a bit of practice before the 8th.

Will PM meet point rather than post it, meet time round 11am, not planning on being out for more than a few hours at best.

Your bike being legal will help if :Police: turn up, let me do the talking (if i'm still around) i have jedi powers, but most of the :Police: are pretty sweet if we are out of the way not hurting anyone, and we come over with a good attitude.

And in no way will i be held responsible for any damage to anyone or any bike, you do stupid shit at your own risk, none of this bullshit blaming the organiser :angry2: you hear!!!

If i get too many people wanna come there will be a cut off, it will help if i know you and know your skill level. If you miss out, too bad, come along on Monday http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=25411 and buy a pizza :yeah: lots and lots of pizza.

Laterz :crazy:

I's dont have the heart to break it to you, but it has to be said, you're not cool enough, next............ if you were Gixer mounted however this would not be the case :stoogie: Nah you're in Kit, don't go thinking you're cool or anything though.

Let me know your location, we can check it out, and anyone else with idea's as well, feel free to share, via PM of course.

Wouldn't you rather go ZX10 hunting? Our good mate on the 03 Red/White R1 is getting his on this Friday! W00T!! Just saw him now...

They'll be riding on Sunday with the whole crew. You should come bro!

Yeah it's on the cards for sure bro, but really can't afford it or the abuse to the tyres, they gotta last for the trackday which is a month away still, after that, we'll have to get the krazy krew and litre crew together for a bit of an attack on Waihi/Whangamata.

5th March 2006, 14:54

Compared to where we started, I thought the second place was better.. no one around, nothing to run into, until the fuzzy shows.. The first place we were at had more reason to get hassled I would have thought, but nope.. arse end of nowhere is obviously a bad place to be..

fuk, that was funny.. Good on ya guys ('specilly sudeep!!)
I didn't think it ended bad, just a bit quicker than I was hoping. I was needing to get away around then anyway

OK ladies.

Now that's its over and you are all home with mum bringing you a glass of milk and a bedtime story why not tell us unfortunates what happened.

And buggy you rotten citrus fruit I expect some great photography from you.

i can't take photos and wheelie you nonse

Zed

5th March 2006, 15:56

I had a great time practising, felt a tad exhausted afterwards too, hot work. I was only present at the 1st location which i thought was good with only a few Sunday drivers interfering, and some even parked up and watched!

Thanks for organising it LB, i hope your private parts fully recover after that tank-slapper matey! :pinch:

Now bring on those photos erik & co.

erik

5th March 2006, 16:52

I had heaps of fun :2thumbsup

Was mostly there to take photos, but I had a go at some wheelies towards the end. Roll along at about 10km/h, rev to 10,000rpm, dump the clutch and hang on :eek:
It took me a while to realise that 10,000rpm was necessary. Attempts below that only result in a small hop. There were a few better wheelies where I kept the front up for a couple of seconds, but usually I either didn't rev quite to 10,000 or I cut the throttle as soon as it came up.

I tried a couple of stoppies, but only managed to lock the front wheel up. I guess the tyres weren't warm enough, or maybe the road was dusty.

That Bandit 1200 was nice! Nice wheelies mate.

Here are the photos (http://community.webshots.com/album/548241954VdUaHu). I've done my best to edit out identifying stuff. Rather than pick the best few myself, I figured I'd just upload pretty much all of them. If anyone wants a copy of a full size version (1600x1200 pixels) pm me the one you want.

Cheers Sudeep and Johno for getting the photos of me. :)

Thanks Bruce for organising it. :niceone:

5th March 2006, 17:20

Cheers for taking all those photos erik.....

Looks like i started getting the hang of stoppies...

Oh and MR you're a bastard.... he goes and lends me his bike for a blat and now all I can do is think about getting one.....

Bruce: those tank wheelies were getting mightily impressive towards the end of the day

I gave it nah-nah's and pulled back, its ok its harder than the cbr250 to get up and the back wheel is on a lean so hard to keep going cos you start to fall over, I am not very good though afast135 has a 150cc scooter and I have seen him do some pretty nice 12'o clock wheelies...

Hey bruce just read your first post and it seems

Your bike being legal will help if :Police: turn up, let me do the talking (if i'm still around) i have jedi powers, but most of the are pretty sweet if we are out of the way not hurting anyone, and we come over with a good attitude.

Came true.

Zed: Was gonna ask are you switching gears while doing wheelies?? Or just holding them in second or something?

Motoracer

5th March 2006, 22:22

Cheers for the pics Erik! :first:

After finally getting some practice in for wheelies today, I can't wait for some more!! I always had an excuse for not bothering with wheelies but now I fully wana practice more and more. It's fukin fun!!!

Zed

5th March 2006, 22:25

Zed: Was gonna ask are you switching gears while doing wheelies?? Or just holding them in second or something?Yeah, apart from the half dozen power stands i pulled straight up in 2nd, the majority of the 50+ wheelies I did 2day I concentrated on lifting the front up at low speed in 1st (between 30-50kmph) and when the bike reached the right height was just hooking 2nd and holding it out trying to find balance point, did some real wonky ones too. I only hooked 3rd once in the whole session, then again, I only tried to do it once lol! :spudflip:

SwanTiger

5th March 2006, 22:36

Damn, looks like fun, need to practise on the Hyosung, highly doubt ill get anywhere, already tried dropping while standing on pillion pegs, it just does a gay little hop thing... it wants to go

loosebruce

5th March 2006, 23:10

Hah yeah the cop was hard case, told you i had your back mate (unnamed KBer), Erik those pics are top notch mate, so much so you got yourself a free pizza tomorrow night, i'll have to grab a cd off you.
I set out to learn gain better skills in 1st gear which i feel mych more confident now, then i thought why the hell not, i'll jump on the tank and try some shit, took a little while to get in to it, but started getting some pretty good ones near the end and feeling really comfy at the same time.
Likely the duo stoppies with my buddy MR, and was great to see everyone who turned up just get better and better as the day went on.
BJ you know the trick now, Gixser smooth shit near the end of the day, Zed looking sharp, Affman way improved and looking good, keep it up, good to meet UKbandit, good to get back into it aye mate, Sudeep mate you took some big steps today.

Anyhow the report on the 5-0 as he turned up someone decided to gap it and i can't blame him, so i went to cover the said person, funny as hell when the cop got to the intersection and couldn't work out which way the nutcase had gone, i pulled up and beside him, looked at him and said "stink" he gave me a dirty look and pulled me over lol. He didn't have anything on me for once, asked if i'd been in trouble with the police before, who me :blip: going on about wheelies and hooligan behaviour, i said we were teaching some noobs some new skills to help there confidence on the open road :yes: anyhow he happened to see Erik pulling a wheelie and pointed him out to me as the others cruised off on there merry way, and i said what that thing wheeling, you're taking the piss aye, i know what i saw he replied, okay buddy. basiclly i hadn't done anything wrong that he knew of so i took the piss a little, thankfully he didn't check my rego, :Oops:

All's well that end's well, have to hook up again for another go before the 8th, Gixser sounds onto it heading that way next time, catch you cats later.
