Tauranga ride to Stunt/Dragwars, 8 April

[DingDong]

You'll need to get up early for this one sleepy head, we're meeting at Tauriko service station (the last servo before heading up the Kaimai ranges) at 6:30am!!!!!:motu: on to Matamata for breakfast, Morrinsville,Gord'ngton(sp?), Huntly and Meremere by 8:30-9.

Yeah I know its fuckin early and we'll freeze our testicular appendiges off, so drink strong coffee:doobey: get motivated:Punk: double up on undies (this might be handy if you shit yourself stunting):shake: and we'll see you there.

[kiwifruit]

thats a hell of an early start but i will be there with bells on :)

[Idrumm]

Mate thats an early start, Ill be there though Sandy will bring a Trailer later.

[MidnightMike]

6:30 :cry:

Thats crazy talk :eyepoke:

[Riff Raff]

Could be worse guys - you could be like me and be on night shift on the friday night, finishing at 6am on the stunt day. Time to head home and cook breakfast for White Trash, Larriken and Mouse (yeah right), consume a couple of gallons of caffeine, quick shower and then head down to the dragstrip to organise all participants! Why do I do this to myself???

[DingDong]

Shit! thats an early start you dude...

[Waylander]

Pfft. 6:30 isn't early. I get up that time everyday. I'll be able to make it afterall Wayne so you and me gonna drag each other? lol

[DingDong]

Are you imply'n we'll be a good pairing? :scratch: right'o:apumpin:

[Waylander]

Ofcourse. What you think my bike wont be able to keep up the the XR?

[2much]

Ummm, for some reason, I doubt Wayne's gonna be riding the XR up to meremere and back, let alone dragging it. Good luck against the RF.... you're gonna need it!

[DingDong]

please dont rain...please dont rain...please dont rain... shit it might bloody rain!

[Waylander]

please dont rain...please dont rain...please dont rain... shit it might bloody rain!
And that worries you because? :bye:

[Matt Bleck]

should i, shouldn't i ??

[2much]

And that worries you because? :bye:

Because stunts and drags in the wet suck.

I'll explain it for you real simple like:

The surface water caused by it raining drastically reduces the amount of grip available. Grip is very important when one needs traction for accelerating (I'll give you some leeway here as that's a situation you're probably familiar with), wheelies, stoppies and other such tomfoolery...


Do you actually think before you post?

[2much]

should i, shouldn't i ??

I prayed for you, God said yes, you most definately should.


See you there.

[Matt Bleck]

Chur .

[kiwifruit]

Meet you at that same servo at 5:30 r4q2?

looks like we could get wet :cry:

[Matt Bleck]

Sure thang kiwifruit.

Bleh, :motu:

[DingDong]

Bleh, :motu:

oohh... I like where this is going:hitcher:

[Waylander]

oohh... I like where this is going:hitcher:
Bah, I'll race him so long as we swap bikes.:devil2:

[2much]

Bah, I'll race him so long as we swap bikes.:devil2:

Sorry pal, you couldn't pay me enough to be seen on that thing in public...


On second thoughts, am I allowed to wheelie it?

[kiwifruit]

am I allowed to wheelie it?

ooo oooo
im bringing the camera!

[Mental Trousers]

I'd like to see you prove the theory ya can wheelie anything if ya know what you're doing. Be interesting to see how long it takes 2much to pop the fork seals this time :kick:

[Cajun]

that goes alone same theory that 'you can't wheel stand shave-drive bikes' which i know for a fact is incorrect, seen it down a few times,

and other is wheel stand cruisers which i have seen before.

I believe if its got two wheels and you got the skills you can wheel stand it.

[Waylander]

Hell know ya can't wheelie it. Have enough things I need to fix on it to pass warrent without adding fucked seals to the mix. When you can putyour own front tyre down a bit more gently then maybe you will have the skill needed to ride the Virago.

[kiwifruit]

we all still going if its pissing down?

[Cajun]

[Waylander]

Maybe have you stop somewhere on the kaimais to get somepics of us going past? Need a new profile pic and avatar.

Awesome day guys!
Big ups to kiwifruit and r4q2 who had to get up even earlier than the rest of us!
Thanks to Sandi for the legendary support! :niceone:
Sitting at rangiriri, work was a burden, didn't want to have to rush off, but the bonus was... found the bike key, that was in my jeans pocket! Then found the cell phone... that was in my inside pocket!!! Oh well an hours sleep will do that to ya!! Would have been quite happy to have had a drink with you all in Matamata, but oh well made it to work dry.
You all did the Tauranga team proud! Hey Dingdong if you are having the vidio night on thursday at yours may i borrow the tape? BTW thanks to you and blackbird2 for keeping an eye on me on the way back. See what happens when I think I know where I am going?! :doh:

[Mental Trousers]

You think she had a blond day?? I left my farken wallet and phone at the Rango (cheers for handing it in Korumba) but didn't find out until I filled up with petrol (made it from just out of Taupiri to 300m before the first servo). Road Rash payed for it cos my missus was on the phone already so I couldn't call her to come and pay for it. So, I had to go all the way back up to get it. Walked out of the pub with my wallet and cell phone then wondered where my farken key was. Left it on the bar ffs.

Great day though. Looking forward to the next one.

[Kornholio]

Lol blondes everywhere :D

[Matt Bleck]

Yeah was a great but long day. Up at 5am and by the time the GP finished it 3am the next day!!
