MR Ride - Sat 06/05/06

MR Ride on Saturday the 6th of May 2006

Hey all,

A lot of you might not know that I used to organise BIG massive hugely successfull rides (48 bikes in total) in KB a while back.

Although, I am not really expecting large numbers on this one, it would be good to meet some new and old faces this Saturday. :)

The pace of the ride is irrelevant, as anyone is welcome to come along. Like always, I will personally hang back and make sure no one is lost by stopping at every intersection etc.

This is not a race. I am organising this ride, to hold a fun social event where we have an oppertunity to meet people while riding our bikes!! I'd kindly like to ask everyone who's coming, to ride at the pace you are most comfertable in and just have fun!

When? Saturday the 6th of May.
Where? The infamous SH22. Lunch at Hammy, then back through SH22 To Auckland.
Meet up? 9:30 AM @ Papakura Autobahn.
ETD? 10:00 AM (No later guys and gals!).

So... Who's keen?? :doobey:

So... Who's keen?? :doobey:

The slow Indian fella - that's who's keen.

By the way I hope you don't mind but for his b'day I asked Slob to give you a slap on the head.:nya:

Edit: - when's the last time you went down Firefight's driveway?? Have those road works cleared up?? There was a heck of a lot more gravel than normal about 3+ weeks ago.

[Karma]

Hey, would have loved to come...

But have to work overtime on Saturday to pay for the ride on Sunday :(

[SwanTiger]

I could be in for this as I've never done SH 22.

Is anyone able to give me an idea of duration and distance?

Basically you are riding from the Autobahn to Hamilton via the back roads.

I think the distance one way will be around 120 +/- 30kms.

It should take around one hour or less if you're MR/FF,etc about two hours for us turtles.

Typical beautiful scenery and some lovely roads.

So say approximately a 5 hour ride, Autobahn-Autobahn.

Is that mr time or real time :nya:

I will see what i can do might not be able to though

[slob]

The slow Indian fella

Do you mean "The Worlds's Slowest Indian" :nya: ? Nah, mate just couldn't resist slipping that one in.

I should be able to make it - as long as I can convince the GSX-R to fire up..

[aff-man]

did the 22 on tuesday and it was fine... just watch that bit where it says one lane. They have put down heaps of metal.

otherwise it's basically just 22.

[crashe]

Sorry MR not this Saturday... have other plans.
Plus until 22 is all fixed up its a no no for me.




(off topic - MR I will catch up with you to get the thingee and 3 screws for my front mudguard from you soon - Txt me when it suits you mate.)



And now back to the ride.........

[Warr]

Do you have any idea on your lunch-time plans... Where and approx time ?
Could meet up and head north or something.

[_Gina_]

Either stify or I will be in MR, as discussed we will have to toss a coin to see who gets to ride and who gets to look after the kiddies!!

Can you strap the cow on the bike as pillion?

I'll donate $10 to spank me if you do. And so should everyone else.

[erik]

I'll be there!

Consider it done Swanny - although 'Daisy' likes to get around so she might need to be strapped onto your bike too!! :scooter:

[Vagabond]

I'm a possibility at this stage, should know by Friday evening, weather dependant!

[justsomeguy]

Yes, yes....... The sloooowest there is and ever will be :scooter:

Make sure you bring your bro turns up too. No later than ten remember :blip:

[The Pastor]

Im so there. I'll bring my camera again. Bike gets out of shop + pay day.. its density.

Comon on people, Lets make this happen!

[Magua]

Lol, classic.

[kickingzebra]

I Second that!

[justsomeguy]

We should be in Hammy around 11:30-12 pm.

[Warr]

For the hamilton guys... & If the weather is sweet how about we head out in good time to do a bit of 22 and meet these guys.
Could meet at Shell TeRapa and head out TeKofi !! up to Ng place and on to the Waingaro road. Say.. 10.30 ??
What do you think ?

[kickingzebra]

I can't do big kms but a small blat should be OK then lunch.

Got any joints sussed out for the biting? spose it depends how many peoples come.

[Quasievil]

I will shoot up and meet them, only for a little one, got racing on Sunday, need to preserve my old body you know how it is.......... why the fuck am I writing in italic....................how the fuck do I turn it off...................fuck it im going to bed

[PaddyFZ1]

Hopefully i will be joining you for the ride down, got plans for the afternoon. Need to sort out a few things with the Mrs after work. Will confirm this evening.

[BigB]

Hi MR

Would have been good to catch up, but I'am doing the Sunday ride so can't make Saturday.

Hope you guys have a great ride and maybe I'll catch you another time.

cheers

You wuss, there on seperate days, sheesh.

[PaddyFZ1]

Ok, ive got a leave pass sorted, the Mrs has to go into work.:blip:
Is the meeting point the big BP just off the motorway? Wouldnt want to go all the way up then not find anybody.:(
Will leave Ham a bit after 8, dont mind waiting for everyone to turn up, if i get there early, just dont want to be late.

[Magua]

Meet up? 9:30 AM @ Papakura Autobahn.
ETD? 10:00 AM (No later guys and gals!).

Where's the "Autobahn"?

[Motoracer]

Awesome stuff guys! I gotta shoot but I'll be back online later on to read all the posts etc.

[PaddyFZ1]

Where's the "Autobahn"?
I was wondering that myself. Have a look in the FAQ, there is a section on meeting places. All the info is there:rockon:

[The Pastor]

say what now?

[Motoracer]

Edit: - when's the last time you went down Firefight's driveway?? Have those road works cleared up?? There was a heck of a lot more gravel than normal about 3+ weeks ago.

F/F checked it out for us yesterday mate. He said it's all good, just your average condition for SH22 so we need to take care at all times!


Is that mr time or real time :nya:

I will see what i can do might not be able to though

Ummm I'm hoping for real time but the truth will be known tomorrow. Be there to find out! ;)

Will do Crashe.

Yep, good estimate... I'd say aim for 12 PM for lunch at Hammy...

Mate, it was half past 10 FFS! How old are you??


Hi MR

Hope you guys have a great ride and maybe I'll catch you another time.

cheers

Since a few people I know are going on the Sunday ride, I decided to go on that as well to catch up so see ya there! :)


Where's the "Autobahn"?

It's the BP service station that is just off the motorway just past the Papakura off ramp. The Autobhan is just a cafe that's next to the BP. Please do not get confused with the other Autobhan that's a few KMs down south on top of the Bombay Hills.

Here's my mob number just in case: 021 636 156 (Sudeep).

Cheers! :)

[kickingzebra]

We're gonna meet you on the road some where, might be a few of us, time will tell.
Whats the lunch plan?

Gotta go into me Garage now and swap the fuct Rennsport rear tire with a nice Supercorsa.

Night all.

[Toast]

Might catch you guys out there. Depends what time I get up.

Need to test out my new suspenders.

[kickingzebra]

No woofetering. If i have to be up early to go get a wof and boot laces, you can get up early to go riding!

[Toast]

Actually I meant if I get up early I might go do my own thing 'cos I wanna be back in Akl early...and I can't sleep no more...so I'm off :)

Have fun guys :niceone:

[_Gina_]

Either stify or I will be in MR, as discussed we will have to toss a coin to see who gets to ride and who gets to look after the kiddies!!

Gg

Oh well stify won the toss....and to rub salt is takin' me bike...lol

All good catch you next time MR.

And swanny - stify won't take Daisy, says he doesn't like riding with a pillion!!

Gg

[erik]

Cheers for organising that MR, it was a good ride.
I particularly enjoyed the ride back, it was a good pace. I can't wait to get my suspension sorted though.

Magua, I hope you got your bike sorted. I noticed it on the way back up.


Here are a few pics I took of the ride down and one at lunch.

[kickingzebra]

Fun ride. :scooter: :drinknsin :spudwave: It was good meeting you guys. Pity about Maguas' bike, which is now on it's way back to the land of the auck. Here's some photo's of lunch for all that didn't come; Dribble away boys and girls!

[Vagabond]

Thanks guys was a good ride and good company, I have aways to go yet in rebuilding my previous confidence in riding. That last bin really took it outta me, but has also taught me to ride my own ride, the most important lesson Iv'e learnt to date although Iv'e always known it!

Cheers catch ya next time!

[enigma51]

[The Pastor]

Yeah, awesomeish ride :P well more awesome than an rg150! Big thanks to jono and bron (I hope thats your names, my memory is kinda shocking- please tell me your kb nicks again) Bringing the bike back to my cussins was just pure awesome! :rockon: Bike is back at maguas house (9.30pm) the ride back for me was alright, some nuts crusier was going 150-200kph in police city (on the motorway) :S

Moral of the story, SERVICE YOUR DAMN BIKES.:nono:


Edit, cheers to the ledgend with the trailer - you all top blokes, aweome trailer too, I'd want one - IF i had a cage :D

[Magua]

Cheers to kickingzebra aka Johno and bron for picking the bike up from 22 and to Renegade master's parents for bring the bike to auckland.

We'll see what the bike shop has to say during the week. :P

Good to see you back out there, not that I was there, but it was a while you were off. 22 is a good lesson road, teaches you alot of things about how to ride safely and not follow the two bikes infront of you straight in to the same ditch etc well some learn the hard way on that road

[Magua]

Moral of the story, SERVICE YOUR DAMN BIKES.:nono:


Don't be a dillweed scott, this isn't a case of negligence.

Shit happens.

[Mental Trousers]

Shame I missed everyone. Went up to Auckland early and got back into town just as you were all leaving. Next time hopefully.

[_Gina_]

stify completely missed you all, I gather he was probably 20 minutes behind y'all..

[LXS]

great ride, good to meet some of the hammy crew.

good to hear you got your bike back to akl magua.

[PaddyFZ1]

Would like to thank you all for the ride. :grouphug:
Always good to meet more people from the site, and great to find roads that you have never been over before. Hope the ride home went well for the Auckland crew.
A few pics from the ride.

Thanks everyone for coming along! Had a mint ride down and up. Perfect weather conditions and it was my 1st road ride on the R6, so I had a ball! Thanks for the pics too guys. Also it was good to meet some new faces, as well as a pleasure to meet the old ones.

Until next time. :)

[HDTboy]

Which muppet forgot to get the MoviStar and the Alstare in the same pic?

[kickingzebra]

We share a car park during the week, so it aint too hard!

Don't forget to get the Alstare rep owner to be included in the pic with them jeans on. :yes:

[kickingzebra]

Haha... I'm sure it could be arranged, but my wife could be having words with me if I was to start taking photos of female Alstare owners jeans...
