ATNR Akl Thurs NIGHT RIDE & Drinks 8th June @ 6.30pm

[Qkchk]

THIS WEEKS REPORT *******
By looking at last weeks poll, the after-work ride is still going to stay as a Thursday night. Thanks to those who voted, at least I have a better idea of what most people want. (Even tho half of you who voted have yet to turn up to 1 ride!)

I would recommend to those who dont have a good headlight to consider replacing/upgrading your headlight bulbs with brighter ones and get them properly aligned, a good headlight can make such a difference to your riding confidence and make the ATNR a pleasurable experience! :ride:

We are now on to a winner with the Speights Ale House in Albany. Last week they supplied 3 bowls of wedges and 2 home-cooked garlic loaves for us for FREE! These guys are really supporting the ATNR so let's have a good turnout to show our appreciation! :2thumbsup

For those who feel the cold - there is open gas fire up at the pub to warm yourself up. If you feel you cant do the whole distance of the ride, you are welcome to shortcut-it to the fire to defrost your buttcheeks.:shake: (And to save us all a spot by the fire;))

************************************************** ********

What: A ride up north in da dark finishing with a cold one
When: Thursday night after work - 8th June :cold:
Where: Shell WESTGATE (end of the North Western Motorway)
Why: To get your fix for the mid-week blues
Time: Meeting there from 6.30pm departing @ 7pm
Pace: Open to all (As long as you can ride at least 100kph - not to say that we ride that speed all the time in the dark)

I'm doin the rides not for so much the riding itself (very limited with time and what you can do with it) but the social get-together at the Speights Ale House (Oteha Valley Road, Albany) afterwords. So if you can't make the ride, try and make the pub and meet fellow Kbers! The food is fine and a huge variety of beers to choose from. We are there from 8pm on wards.

The route will be discussed on the night. For those worried about distance/time the ride will last for approx 1hr - 1half and is 70kms long. We start at Westgate and finish up at Albany.


- Tinted/iridium visors are not recommended, please change your visors over to clear ones for the ride. It is hard enough to ride in pitch black darkness without having to look through a darkened visor. Any chance to lessen the risks we take in our riding the better! (If you dont have a clear visor, may I suggest buying/borrowing a pair of clear safety glasses and keep ya tint visor up....)

- Darkness = Slower speeds (self explained...)


This ride is WEATHER PERMITTING - I will post up in the thread if it is postponed due to weather. I will decide on the day and post after 5pm.

Disclaimer: You participate on this ride at your own risk. I will not be held accountable for anyones actions, to/from and during the ride.. Anyone who is caught endangering others by their actions will be asked to leave the ride and may be refused entry to forthcoming rides! (As we have had seen in the past) I will not be responsible for people ending up at Wellsford due to not listening to instructions nor the pointer system failing.......... :nono:

Go to the $2 shop and for $3 (so much for $2) you can buy a pair of thermal gloves that should fit under your riding gloves.

[Phenoix]

Sorry all, the bike decided it didnt want to play tonight.

Got home ok, but cant rev past 12K.
Think its a fuel problem, probably with a seal, just got to work out where

CHeck the hose running from the top of the airbox it goes to a flow meter that will be it (usually with 12K), or the tacho/ecu one of them has water in it. Happens to mine sometimes when It gets really wet, but it goes to 16k with the water problem.

Sorry guys couldn't make it hope you had a better night than me :angry:

[boomer]

Thanks for a good, albeit expensive:Police: :tugger: , night out

Highlights;
A kiss from Ryan
A cuddle from Glen
Pissed on by Ben
A good ride & good company
Paid my dues to the locals .. i suppose 5 years with no tickets and a 400 odd ticket is fair go.. but i'm ademant that my plate is fekin legal.:tugger:

[Zed]

yep me too 10 Characters:shutup:...but you've spoken a whole sentence fella lol. :shit:

Good to meet y'all at the pub 2nite, I was really impressed with the turnout for a fairly horrible nite to ride, the bad weather came on quite suddenly in the late afternoon, twas raining at home and looked crappy up north so I thought i'd skip the ride...some of you were saying that it was predominately dry, that was phenomenal!

Wrong place wrong time for that ticket Boomer! And u should have thumped Ben when u had the chance, let alone Mr Poos.

Was good to catch up with some familiar faces and meet some new ones, Finn, Cowpoos, et al.

And Dover you're a flaming faggot! :nono:

[Jonny Rotten]

yeah nice ride tonight apart from that guy with the strobe in the back of the red van having his own dance party DOOFF DOOFF.......

You got to be shittin me, weres your plate, just revenue collecting bastards. That sux man.

[Blackbuell]

[boomer]

[boomer]

yeah nice ride tonight apart from that guy with the strobe in the back of the red van having his own dance party DOOFF DOOFF.......

that was funny; i've just had a ticket and tail end charlie is kind enough to wait for me; we hit the 50/70 zone and i see teh van so i slow down only to be passed by tail end charlie and voila... The van lights up like a christmas tree.. flashing lights and two coppers stood crouched over in the back of the van.


here's to another ticket in the post... oh wait no visible rear number plate..:whistle: :finger:

[FROSTY]

well charlie (im told) hopes like heck the cops diddnt turn round fast enuff to get number plates. not that i would know being tucked up at home not on any dirty ol bike ride (honest orificer)

[Finn]

No tickets here although we hit 130ish in the 80k section of the motorway catching up to Zed cause Dover wanted to show him something. Moments later there were flashing lights but they drove past. Lucky me - what's the fine for 50 over & DIC?

If you were with Dover then the penalty is just a hand job :bye:

[skidMark]

Is it or is it not true that a Suzuki GN 250 overtook you?

Phil is the man :first:

he overtook me cus i was stopped having a chat with the boys in blue you knob lol.....i was stopped and 1 min after ive been pulled over he comes puttering through...and hes not the man because he binned on the way home....

[SwanTiger]

Not what I heard Marky :wait:

Doesn't matter anyway, just jerkin' yah girkin'.

[Black Bandit]

Sucks that the boys in blue are prowling the backroads. Definately sounds like underhand tactics. :angry: Just as well I gave tonight a miss then, probably would have taken a hit from the tax collector for speeding! (L-plate rider). I was just wheeling out of the driveway tonight when it started pissing down with rain and decided against joining the ride tonight. Surprised to hear that you all didn't get soaked!

[Finn]

Surprised to hear that you all didn't get soaked!

Nah, just Boomers bike.

[Qkkid]

:blip: Its a pity i could not make this ride could of had matching tickets with Boomer :innocent:

[GR81]

if the cops are prowling the back roads, skip a week... then they might lose interest.

[The_Dover]

And Dover you're a flaming faggot! :nono:

C'mon Zed baby, we've all seen pulp fiction.

You were just pissed cos you hit on me and I turned you down.:nya:

[Devil]

Thanks to the cockknob who adjusted my mirrors.
:tugger:

[Zed]

C'mon Zed baby, we've all seen pulp fiction.

You were just pissed cos you hit on me and I turned you down.:nya:Lol yeah right mate!

Unfortunately I cannot utter with words some of the actions performed by our beloved Dover last night, lets just say that when he has a few too many 'chocolates' he is basically anyones!! :sick: And Boomer you really should have thumped him when you had the chance, you were truly justified in doing so lol.

[The_Dover]

Hey man,

boomer is a lover not a fighter.

[ManDownUnder]

Hey man,

boomer is a lover not a fighter.

Gonna set my world on fire?

[GR81]

[The_Dover]

Gonna set my world on fire?

Nah, he's from oop norf so probably just your house and your car.

Once he's robbed it.

[ManDownUnder]

Nah, he's from oop norf so probably just your house and your car.

Once he's robbed it.

Thank God for that - I was worried about the sheep to be honest...

[Riff Raff]

Well 'twas an interesting night. Got home from work and there was Poos doing the dishes in my kitchen. I was ordered to go and get changed while he dried the dishes, and then we headed on the long drive to Albany. Why was it so long? Lets just say Mr Poos isn't very good at listening to directions and will take any road on a whim.

Good to see some familiar faces and some new ones. Had a couple of drinks and a few larfs before heading the long way back as a rather terrified passenger. Multi-tasking is not one of Mr Poos strong points, especially when he's driving.

[boomer]

Multi-tasking is not one of Mr Poos strong points, especially when he's driving.

Is WT happy with these sorts of goings on..?? Liberated couple aren't we :blip:


MD - Arson is a speciality... sheep and livestock isn't, hence the move here to 'upskill' :yes:

[Maha]

heres the number plate... fascist bully boys

'ding ding'....tickets please... (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/gallery/albums/userpics/13076/DSC00504.JPG)
Ah yes, we can see why the ticket was issued now, your plate had scribble on it........:nono: :laugh:

[Riff Raff]

Is WT happy with these sorts of goings on..?? Liberated couple aren't we :blip:
Multi-tasking in this case would be texting, singing loudly and driving - not a good combination. Had to forcefully remove said cellphone from Poos' vice-like grip to ensure we got home in one piece.

[oldguy]

Glad I didn't go, if the cop was givin ya a ticket for your plate, then he would have givin me one for my pipes, saying to loud. :shutup:

[boomer]

as i departed said cop, i made sureeee i got ther yoshi poppin and farting in his general direction before duely stopping and planting both feet at the stop sign :innocent:

talking of loud.. the buel with the jardine sounded mint

Ya wouldn't be as loud as Blackbuell and Rayza were, thundering through the quiet valleys......
