[Keystone19]

Well I just think it's unacceptable to have a blokes-only ride. Really, what are you thinking. How can you exclude the girls like this.









P/T Just in case SPB decides to take offense and red reps me...

[loosebruce]

Ya might as well invite the girls then what a poofta's ride. Glad i'll be in taupo lapping the new track and crashing there, hopeflly i'll take out dss3 at the same time, mint!

[erik]

Sounds good, I'll be there. :)
It'll be my first KB ride on the Bandit. Hopefully the brakes will have bedded in by then.
[edit: duh, got confused about the date. it possibly won't be my first kb ride on the bandit and my brakes should be well and truly bedded in...]

[Vagabond]

Possible starter, will see closer to the time!

Take 'em out once for me too :Pokey:
It only counts as a crash if ya can't ride home.....:doctor:

[loosebruce]

It only counts as a crash if ya can't ride home.

Yea i've been thinking the GSXR needs a ala TL makeover, as good a time as any.

[justsomeguy]

Yea i've been thinking the GSXR needs a ala TL makeover, as good a time as any.

I can come and ride it tomorrow. Is 11am ok??

[aff-man]

Shit. I'm out. Going away next weekend so won't be able to make it. Have fun and i'll see some of ya on the 7th

[Mr Skid]

I can come and ride it tomorrow. Is 11am ok??Bruce just wants it roughed up, not implanted in the grill of a Folden.

[DEATH_INC.]

Yea i've been thinking the GSXR needs a ala TL makeover, as good a time as any.
We'll be taking that road too :niceone:
Went for a trial run with rodders yesterday through the kopuku to ngaruawahia bit and I think I got it sussed, he showed me a couple of good bits we can use, it's a mixture of some nice windy stuff and a few longish straight bits, come out at taupiri so we'll hafta cruise 1 from there down to ngaruawahia.
I'll need a tail-end charlie for this one and prolly hafta have someone wait at each turnoff through this section. Either that or everyone can wait for the following rider so they all know where to turnoff. It's a bit short between turnoffs to be able to get back past you lot if I wait.....
You can enroll here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=807&day=2006-4-23&) if ya want

[Motoracer]

Now that you don't even have to answer to anyone when you go home, I can only imagine how much harder you'll be pushing!

As for the ride, I don't have a road going bike currently as my R6 is still in race format. Oh well... Next time it is then.

[DEATH_INC.]

Ok, dunno 'bout this bloody weather, spose to turn to crap tonight......check in here at 9 in the morn and I'll post up if we're on or not......
Prolly still do it unless it's fairly crap.....

[DEATH_INC.]

You guy still up for it if there's a couple of wet spots? It's not looking too bad at the mo, but not too good either....
The chickies ride has been canned 'till the rain date so I've invited them too ( not really a blokes ride anymore....)

until next time folks--
ps bugs" clean ya bike will ya--

[erik]

yep, it was a good day apart from the bin.
I only lasted till mercer going back on SH1, then I had to turn off and take some more interesting roads!

GIXser, I've been a KB member for 2 years and regularly go on rides and I'm almost always meeting new people on them. KB is a large group.

[DEATH_INC.]

Thanks all who came, was orright considering the weather and stuff, bit of a shame we couldn't complete it but Myself and Draco and a couple of others were under a few time constraints so with our little unsheduled rest we had to bail home.....
I'll organise the same ride again another time in the not too distant future....:ride:

[2_SL0]

Nice to see you guys out and about. Shame about the weather we kept getting stuck in showers as well.

[Keystone19]

Thanks for the invite on the 'blokes only ride' Death. Was good to see that four of the girls turned up!

I found it challenging being two-up in the wet and given that I ride like a nana in the wet by myself it was even more interesting two-up! Cibby was a great pillion though and I rarely noticed she was there aside from the slightly different bike handling characteristics.

Highlight 1: watching the yellow VFR get stuck trying to do a U-turn when we missed a turn and needing a pull!

Highlight 2: getting perfect lines through the twistys just out of Kawakawa Bay two-up.

Until the next one! :niceone:

[bugjuice]

fook, not a bad ride, all things considered..
the amount of slides thru corners tho, might as well be a drift competition!
I had the front lockup big time on a left hander that was pure tar and not stone. Really thought it was all over, get the salt and pepper - I'm about to eat asphalt. Then I let the front brake go, and the wheel gripped whilst the back tried to buck me off, and then, there was the end of the corner!! The bike settled, I landed on the tank, and smacked it so hard, I swear I know what my balls taste like. So, a brief stop to find them, and I was back on me way.

I was following Postie at the time, and he hadn't seen my antics so thought the worst. He stopped and turned around to check out what was happening, but I had already started going again. We passed, and I pulled over to explain what happened. Then we took off to catch up to the rest. All was going well for a few more minutes until for whatever reason (Postie will probably posty) the corner was not made. Seeing my bro dive off into the rough again and the bike go down and legs go up, a colourful array of language came out. I pulled hard on the brakes (dry this time!) and saw gravel on the left of the road, so I pulled into that - but it tricked me! The gravel stopped and the thick mud started, and I couldn't avoid it. So the bike dissapeared and went for a slide in the mud. Thankfully, most of it is mud. Few new scratches, but I'll give it a wash tomorrow and have a proper look. No big damage but the gear shift has an extra clunk to it now. I'm sure that'll go.

Anyway, so an ambo was called and eventually came (not bad considering we were in the arse end of nowhere) and picked postie up. Cibby chick rode his bike back, follwed by Keystone, and myself to Middlemore. Keystone took off just before we got there. We waited for ages in the ER before he was seen. I've just got a text that it's a fractured collarbone. Not too bad then. He's on his way home now, so I guess he'll fill in the rest when he gets online later.

Thanks Death for arranging the ride, thanks Keystone for looking after him and coming along, and nice to catch up with the regulars and some new faces ;)

[APPLE]

thanks for the ride guys,enjoyed it,apart from the wet roads.......cheers

[Postie]

howdy folks.
twas a good ride today, mostly. I was quite enjoying the wet roads, they were slippy but it gives you more to think about.
Anyway i fucked up a corner, i was riding fine, enjoying, having a look around, lost concentration for a split second and found my self half way round a stupidly easy corner, bit the brakes hard but unfortuntaly for me, my right fork seal is toast and the bike nose dived under hard breaking, i should have pulled it through though, i saw a nice large gravel run off so took advantage and thought there would be enough to stop but changed my mind once i saw the drop off into a river at the end of the gravel pad, at which point i decided this is my stop and pulled thr front brake, dropped the bike under and supemaned into broken collar bonedom.
Thanks all who stopped to prod me, sling me, sit with me and laugh with me.
The bike is sweet, just a few scrapes which can be sorted no worries.

The paramedics were awesome.

anyway, got away lucky. Will be back out as soon as my should works properly.

[erik]

Hope you heal up quick.
How long did the doctors say it'd take?

[Nicksta]

Sounds like an eventfull ride... hopefully the chicks one will be on soon....
Heal quick Postie....
Glad you guys had a good day....

[Matt Bleck]

Bummer dude, hope you get well soon.

[Wonko]

Interesting day for a ride, what with the rain bucketed down as I left. Fine for most of the ride, buit surface water in the odd place here and there. Hope you heal up soon postie. Thanks to some good spotting by Pete(?) and Zaph's tools I tightened my chain up a fair bit. Was a good ride, and I'd lov to do it again in the dry, thanks Andy.

Draco just a reminder, brake light.

[Zapf]

Glad you are ok and just nothing more than a fracture postie... I am sure Cibby brought that camera along for a reason :laugh:

heal well and quick and remember about the corners next time. :)

Nice meeting u all again... and the new people I meet.

[DEATH_INC.]

Draco just a reminder, brake light.
My fault, My wof guy told me about it on friday but I forgot....it works on the rear brake though....:doh:

[Postie]

thanks to all the well wishers, Dr's said 4-6 weeks but i should be fine by 4 i think.
Anyway, it got me a day off work today so nice long weekend for me, oh yeah a day thrashing my new V8 supercars 3 game.

Glad to hear your ok and on the mend..

[Cibby]

thanks for the invite death, was a mostly great ride,

Keystone, you rock, nice riding, nice intro back onto two wheels. :)

I think postie crashed because he just wanted the Special Cibby Bed Side Mannor treatment :devil2:

[crashe]

Postie - sorry to hear of your accident that happened yesterday.

I'm pleased to hear that you will only be off the bike for 4-6 weeks:ride:

Rest up and do as the DR's tell you...

thanks Crashe, but the Drs only said it would take 4-6 weeks to heal, they didn't say anything about not riding for 4-6 weeks.

[crashe]

thanks Crashe, but the Drs only said it would take 4-6 weeks to heal, they didn't say anything about not riding for 4-6 weeks.


UMMMMMMMMM I think that they mean NO riding until it is healed.

If in doubt go back and ask the dr to tell you WHEN you are allowed to ride again after this injury... cos he/she will give you a time limit.

Are you likely to be needing physio as well?

Not worried past injuries (leg), cos we know what they would say about that one.

I would hate for you to start riding too soon and stuff up your shoulder/collarbone for life......

[justsomeguy]

Right... good,

So how's the bike??

[Postie]

Right... good,

So how's the bike??
the bike is sweet, Cibby rode it home, just has a few scratches and broke the screen brace but i have a spare one of those anyway.

[Stroker Girl]

Thanks Death for organising a great ride. Was good to get out and see some new roads and met some more KB's. Paul and I both had a blast even in the wet.

Note to self: When sign reads "Uneven Road Surface", don't just assume its just that little pot hole you cleverly avoided. Lets just say I was glad to be a girl after hitting a rather large bump further on :eek: (may have been the one that got Buggie!).

Glad to hear your injuries weren't too serious Postie and I'ms sure you are making the most of some top class nursing from Cibby.
