ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Biggles08]

Not to forget bad or dangerous driving ........

Correct on this...plus I'm sure there are many other reasons that you/I could list but your getting the point.


Hell ... yup you are Dead Cool, a menace on the roads and with your head stuck up your a$$, nice mix. A real temporary New Zealander.:bye:

You have just confirmed my thoughts titanium, you are one of these small minded people who have been hooked in line and sinker into believing that you know best regarding road safety and whoever has a different opinion on this subject (the dreaded speed) is a 'menace on the roads with their head up their arse." Don't you realize that you have turned this debate/disagreement into a personal attack on the person you disagree with as opposed to putting forward reasons for your opinion. BTW, you have also presumed that I 'speed' just because I'm defending those who do. Have you ever ridden with me? Have you ever seen my decision making on the road? Not that I recall so you telling me that I'm a temporary New Zealander means about as much tits on a bull....but good on you mate, keep your head buried in the sand of this lovely country called NZ!

[Karma]

There's a few of them out there... those that believe that speed in itself kills... they're the same people who believe that global warming is a threat, and the Iraqs had anything to do with 9/11.

[Disco Dan]

wouldnt it be better if we had a sort of closed road thing, where we could ride at any speed we like without the threat of cars or the police? ....ahhhhh yes bliss indeed.... some might call it dreaming... others... Taupo Race Track. :yes:

[Morcs]

You nanas should all just STFU.

Its a ride, people know the risks, and we can bitch about it all we want when we get caught.

Nothing wrong with that.

When you've had a cock of a police officer telling you whats for, the last thing you want is a load of people that you consider your 'friends' treating and lecturing you in the same way.

Thats a real "good on ya" attitude bro?
We all get wound up in this game of who's view is right.

I just cant believe that people dont share my view I mean whats wrong with all of them! lol

Hey...

Correct me if I'm wrong but no one is bitching about people speeding or people bitching about getting a ticket (it sucks I've been there)... more along the lines of bitching that a cop dares catch people on the ATNR, yes it is an easy target. We all know this.

Now if said cop has broken the law and is witnessed doing so, then by all means follow the correct procedures and take him to task, as he is not above the law. Someone stated they he nearly caused and accident and may have caused R6_kid's have any of you reported this... just a question... as there has been a lot of bitching about his(cops) behaviour...

[eviltwin]

emotions have been running high on this thread eh!

whoever it was that was giving biggles08 shit, leave him alone, his girls been out of town for 5 weeks, the mans about to explode.

i was actually having quite a cruisy night, until i came to the long down hill straight where i decided to catch up to the two bikes at the bottom of the hill...i think a radar detector is on the shopping list now.

thanks to my mates for backing me, and getting me home, much appreciated.

lost my license for 28 days and $630 fine...shit happens! the law is the law, i know where the boundaries are and i'm not emotionally traumatized from this.

riding a fast bike is like having a hard on people, what are you gonna do, look at it, or use the fuckin' thing?

i may give it a bit too much of the right hand [occasionally] but i my defense i alway endeavour to be courteous around other drivers. :innocent:

that's right! i am now to be referred to as: saint eviltwin

[Biggles08]

whoever it was that was giving biggles08 shit, leave him alone, his girls been out of town for 5 weeks, the mans about to explode.

LOL:clap: yes, but rest assured shes back on Sun night and I'm in the mood for :love::yes:

[delusionz]

I'm keen on the next ride, Wonder if we can make it 3 good thursdays in a row, weather-wise.

[Cr1MiNaL]

Agreed¬> shit happens, absolutely nuthing u can do about it other than get on with life... Its what riding a bike is all about. Ride safe...

[Biggles08]

Ahh no Disco Dan, we cannot advocate speeding in any circumstance as some here would have us believe that "speed kills." Correct me if I'm wrong but this would include on a race track!? :oi-grr::yes:

[skidMark]

ahhh well mr accord euro did me in my cage for 62 in a 50 droppped down from an 80 to a 50 kph zone i was sitting on 58 59ish, slight downhill it crept up to 62 i hit the brakes as i did so boop boop, i got you at 62.....

fair enuf i was speeding but he had been following for a couple of k's ....

but oh well, hes doing his job, which is to enforce the law, don't break it and he wont ticket you.

ah well it was all worth it for a play on a deemed to be written off 06 zx10, so fast...me want drooly.....

tristan give me your replacement from insurance when you get it i wanna play :D .

[Morcs]

Does anyone know how many muggins, rapes, burglary's, assaults etc... were reported thursday night whilst the cops were out catching criminals?

[Chrislost]

Fuck off!!! This wanker was not there for any other reason than to stroke his own wiener to see if it makes him feel like a man! :angry2::brick:

To think I was defending the cops less than 2 weeks ago!!!??? You know why though, EvilTwin, BIGGBOSSMAN and myself were out having a go on SH16 when we stopped for a cig break at the end of Woodcocks Rd...a coppa turns up, pulls over and has a chin wag with us just for the hell of it. Turns out he rides a TL1000, comes from Dublin (Important point this) and isn't interested in merely lining Helen's pocket! This FUCKWIT last night was an arrogant c%#t with the integrity of a worm! just doing his job my arse! The dude from Dublin is what I would refer to as a cop "doing his job" properly! The reason in my opinion why the Dublin cop was a 'good' cop is that he has been brought up in an environment that isn't sheltered like here in little ol NZ. He hasn't been brainwashed by this agenda the govt has to turn the average punter into a crim. 'Mr Dublin' was a coppa with experience and knew the difference between the real crims and the guys who just like riding bikes a little faster than what the majority 'dumb' people in NZ call a safe speed!?! I can see people getting all up and bitchy about this post but the fact remains "SPEED DOES NOT KILL" and never will....people 'speed' quite legally in Germany every day without dieing....its the dickhead who can't ride/drive properly that is the killer.

It is obvious that these cops last night were waiting for us....why were they waiting for us? They are waiting because they want to 'target' decent people who they will justify are criminals by hiding behind a stupid law that is easy to police....In my opinion, policing an 'easy law' doesn't make you good at your job or even "just doing your job"...it makes you a wanker!!! If the Cop who did the damage last night is reading this...YOU ARE A WAIST OF SPACE NAZI!

rant over...hard luck EvilTwin (and the other casualties)....your not a criminal IMHO...just a jolly good rider and jolly good bloke to boot!
Biggles08

their targeting us perhaps we should winge to the media or somthign like every other fucktard in nz would?
if it was peak road that the police was on at abut 730-8 pm then they are definatly there to save children/other motorists yeah?

[Chrislost]

You think they should ignore people breaking the law every week regular as clockwork? What if it was a theif breaking into your house every Tuesday afternoon? Or are there some laws they should ignore coz... y'know... they're not so important.

Sort your shit out.

perhaps people speeding on a country road is only pissing off ummm a few sheep and a cow or 2?
someone breaking into a house every week is annoying actual people.
but it is harder to police so they will just be there to take out money/licences

[Chrislost]

Wrong... it's actually pissing off two coppers that live on that road.

We were told, and I quote;

"Two officers live on this road and they told the sargent that you bikers are still speeding down this road, so he sent us out to check it out"

what about the ones that wernt reported.. :innocent: mwuaahahahhaha

[Pancakes]

I've said it before, new root each week?

I have to gloat tho' I was behind a marked car today getting on the NWestern to come home and they took off to 110 in the 80 zone and then to 130 in the hundred zone, must have known I was following so around ST Lukes I decided to pass (they had shifted to the centre lane now and I was still in the fast lane) so inch by inch I crept by at around a 135 and thought if I get pulled over I hit them up about their speed for the whole time, have to admit I was feeling cheeky and nearly didn't do it but was pissed they were hooning around but no lights etc, as I go by they are having a full on conversation gesticulating and looking at each other heaps blah, blah. The guy driving looks at me as I pass, for a while, grins at me and goes back to chatting with his mate. I was off, just under the loss of licence speed and they faded in my mirror. WEIRD!

Gay for you guys, you know the magic number tho'. You can apply makeup, talk on the phone, change CD's at 95 in a hundy zone safe as but 120 on a sprotsbike on a dry straight is like sticking your pecker in the Queens bum, gets scratchy and.........
well.............
not good anyhow.

So, meet up as per, round the corner and a brief on a new route for the night? There are tons of places to go. The cops are being dicks, I have to say that most I've met recently are great guys but they aren't going to be the ones given the special mission of catching regular nusance riders that are interfering with some other cops downtime eh.

Just my 2c.

PS, If you weren't there you can post riding tips in "Survival Skills" this thread is about ATNR.

got their no plate? Id love to give their C/O a call.

[Pancakes]

Was saying it over and over in my head, then singing to myself and forgot it by the time I got home!

[skidMark]

or you know do the ride......and don't speed?

just thinking common sense,

in the past they said they were happy for us to do 120 but no more and they wouldnt ticket, they gave us that leanency(sp?) and we did not respect the chance they had given us.

nobody to blame but yourselves in all honesty.

that is what they told us about 3 months ago when they took 6 licenses.

but alas nobody listened.

and the saga continues.

you have much to learn young padawon yessssss.

[skidMark]

Awesome ride, kept up with the big bikes this time, Once again made it with my bike unscratched, my license in my hand, all my demerit points and cash. Bad luck to the guys that fell off/got fined, etc.

Last couple sets of lights before the pub eh, was that a drag race or what haha. Who was it, Qkkie? didn't expect a twin cyl 250cc keeping pace eh? Or you gonna burst my bubble and tell me you guys were on half throttle? :ride:


they were at idle with the clutch out.....

Mark,
I might not b the best rider out there and yes indeed I have much to learn, but this I know... regardless of what they say... i have 50 bucks that says if u ride in front of a cop at 120 he will ticket u. If he said he wudnt he wud b breakin the law. and hes noone to set a new speed limit, not that its a bad thing.. but hey, its just not gonna happen.

Then you owe me $50.

A few of us passed the copper doing 120 and he didn't do anything... instead he waited behind us until our speed 'allegedly' creeped up over the 150 mark before deciding to pull us over.

Thats a different issue, I was meaning if u constantly stay at 120. Hes obviously wanting ur lisence if he can get it. Im sure ud get pulled ova at 120, ive got pulled over all too often.

[Pancakes]

and thats the shit part. If 120 was truly as awful as they make it out to be they'dstop you asap. But no, they wait to see if they can get a few more points on the quota for an extra minutes work.

Do they go to a shooting and let the gunman walk around for a while longer to see if they can't do them for killing more people and lock them up for even longer?

You might think thats not that relevant but if they genuinely believe that you have a good chance of hurting yourself or anyone else at a speed abonve the legal limit they should stop you straight away not go fishing for a bigger catch! If they think you are endangering others they are using those lifes at risk to add a few more K's to your ticket. Do you really think that would be acceptable of a police officer?

[delusionz]

What you talkin about skid? I don't see you doin 120, maybe it's cause you crashed all your bikes lol

[Biggles08]

your doing a real good job at pissing him off if hes reading this....

I hope he is reading this! he's a Fuckwit and not because he's a cop (I have family members who are in the force)...he's a Fuckwit as a person! Power crazed Nazi....FUCKWIT!:yes:

$50 to me too.

Most speedo's overread by an average of 7.5%, add in the 11kph lenience zone, at clock speed of 120kph you would be most doing 111kph real speed - not outside the leniency zone.

:D

:D


Actually you're wrong on that one... the whole point of the 10kph leniency is to cover for the fact that your speedo may read up to 10% out. You can't have 10kph then claim another 10%.

[westie]

There goes my excuse.

So are we gonna think about nice quiet raods to go on for another thurs ride?
Maybe discuss at the next briefing, as well its pretty clear we are being watched:confused:

[Morcs]

No, im correct. Im not combining them in the calculation.

120 clock speed > translates with speedo innacuracy of 7.5% = real speed of 111kph.

So its right on the border of the leniency :D

Thats why I will sit on the motorway at 120 (clock speed) and have never been pulled for it...

[Karma]

Well I can't say why you've not been pulled over, but the leniency of 10% is definitely because of the fact that your speedo may misread.

How fast we go is up to each of us, but lets not let the newbies think they can run around everywhere at 120kph and think it's legal.

Right in that sense, you are, wise daniel. I speak from personal experience. Want to set a bad example to the youngs ones we would not. Yes, hmmm.

[ManDownUnder]

Abuse of power.

So - as I said - hold 'em accountable.

No problems at all with that. Just as the motorcyclists abused privilege by speeding. We're trusted on the road to obey the laws too...

[ManDownUnder]

Well I don't know anything about last night as I wasn't there, but in my case I believe the copper pulled a number outta the air and was themselves committing an illegal act.

The law applies to the police as well, contrary to what they may think.

I have never argued the cops are above the law. Do the crime, do the time - a simple motto that relieves me of any anxiety when facing a fine or punishment I actually deserve.

If the cop was wrong - then yes defend thge ticket. Do it with all your might... the inverse statement also applies (you don't do the crime... etc).

[The Stranger]

So - as I said - hold 'em accountable.

No problems at all with that. Just as the motorcyclists abused privilege by speeding. We're trusted on the road to obey the laws too...

Come on MDU, you are surely not that naive are you? Honestly.

Look at the outcome of recent rape trials when people have "held em accountable" for what is effectively an abuse of power.

No we aren't trusted to obey the road laws, where ever did that one come from?
Should we just accept a law because it is a law. No. If a law is unfair, unjust or arbitrary it is not my responsibility to obey it my friend, quite the opposite actually.

Abuse of power, in any of it's many forms, is not ok and for the very reason that recourse is often not the simple matter you would appear to suggest.

Bang on! You think you made a complaint to the cops about abuse of power and they give the guy a warning and a pay cut? More like a good laugh at the cop bar with all the confiscated booze!

Think of why there are 2+ cars out most rides, cos a COP living on the route is pissed off at the loud pipes while he's kickin' back with no other vices to keep him entertained! There have been 20+ break-in's at the same time on the same day of the week in our area which consists of only a few streets and there are no cops staking that out. They are a company in business, there must be some perks to having such a shit job and dealing with scum daily on rotating shifts for average pay. We just live (ride?) on the wrong side of the perk!

[Chrislost]

you dont even ride on these rides.
bitch.
fuck off

...cos a COP living on the route is pissed off...

True I think he is a dog handler, watches as we go by, not sure of road name, but just passed the roundabout (off old north???) in the dip before it goes to 100km limit.

[ManDownUnder]

Come on MDU, you are surely not that naive are you? Honestly.

You're confusing accountability for justice. Accountability being the process by which you are caught and correctly identified as being the offender (of whatever you did).

Justice is the process of meting out the appropriate punishment. I (personally) think this is where the problem is. If there is an abuse of power then those abusing it deserve a more sever punishment because of their privileged position/higher office.

My fundamental point in this while argument is this... if someone did the crime - they deserve the time. People can quite rightly complain about a cop using illegal tactics to catch them or do whatever... but if they were ticketed for speeding... and they WERE speeding... they get no sympathy from me.

[ManDownUnder]

Well this is quite different to going over 100kph...if you cant figure this out for yourself, your a twat!

Ok - I can't figure this out for myself... so spell it out (for the record... I'm being serious - please spell it out). Why should the cops police one law and not others?

Try to avoid name calling too - it belittles any argument.


Question...will you still smack your child after they tried to put a fork in the power socket??? I know a lot of people who will but if you do....ooooooo......You criminal!!!

Yes - and I'll happily defend myself afterwards should there be any repercussions. I'm simply suggesting you do the same - assuming you think you have a defensible position

Again names - but that one was more justified...


If people all follow along blindly and just do what we're told and when, you will end up with whatever others decide is best for you...me...nah...its bullocks and I won't shut up just because you say so.

Agreed - that's how Nazi Germany ended up the way it did. Not a good thing. Small point though - I never told you to shut up... simply sort your shit out.


I get so fucked off with small minded people forcing their opinion onto me!
Me too


FYI I didn't get a ticket, or lose my license but I am gutted that my mate did! He was going over 100kph, he was 'breaking the law' and yes by all counts he should face the music...does this make it right?! No it doesn't. The penalty doesn't serve 'justice' to the crime...he was not riding dangerously at all to himself or others...it only remotely makes sense if you buy into the bullshit propaganda quote "Speed Kills."

Ok hang on - on one hand I hear you arguing the cops should be held accountable for trangressions (agreed)... which sounds like a "one law for all" approach

But then I hear you saying some laws should be ignored.

Which is it?

Just clean it up and leave this thread for it's original intention - information regarding the ride. Getting rid of the drivel into the discussion thread gets my vote.

[Joni]

Keystone there are pages and pages of drivel and non topic related stuff in here.

This is the umpteenth thread that we have tried to keep on track for the reason you are requesting... it does not seem to be happening. No thread should need constant monitoring by a mod.

I am not sure why people cant keep the discussions to the discussion thread and use this one as a resource.

Right I will clean it up (again) one last time... but this is the last call!!!!!!

If it goes off track again, then its not as if more than enough fair warning was given.

It seems people seem to think mods have no life, we have hours and hours to spend re-doing what they have already done half a dozen times... come on guys, keep this thread on track.

[Biggles08]

Why should the cops police one law and not others?
Well Mr Twat, its like this:dodge:...If one law is stupid, and one law isn't, A 'good' cop will understand this difference and won't be a twat concentrating his efforts on the stupid law (notice the effective way i used name calling while staying on topic) ;-). What I'm hearing from you is that you like the fact that we (NZ citizens) have been dumbed down so much that even the most respected (traditionally speaking) profession about should not be allowed to have individual 'discretion' and 'responsibility' for any actions taken. You appear to believe that cops should 'blindly' follow along like stormtroopers hiding behind a socialist mentality of 'i don't make the laws, I just police them' attitude. Just what a little Hitler in power would like his people to be like.


Yes - and I'll happily defend myself afterwards should there be any repercussions. Should there be??? Now I'm confused...do you, or don't you think they should prosecute you for smacking your child if it is illegal? Maybe they should use 'discretion' when deciding to or not...oh no thats right, using your logic, they shouldn't be able to use discretion should they....twat (justified ;))


Agreed - that's how Nazi Germany ended up the way it did. Not a good thing. Small point though - I never told you to shut up... simply sort your shit out. ooooo...see you started the name calling first twat. Ignoring that, can you not see my point after writing this? Their ARE some laws that are in place to 'control' the masses...dumb laws! They need to be re-addressed if I am ever to be convinced that we don't have a socialist movement in this country..ie Nazi Germany in a clever disguised so-called democracy.


Ok hang on - on one hand I hear you arguing the cops should be held accountable for trangressions (agreed)... which sounds like a "one law for all" approach

But then I hear you saying some laws should be ignored.

Which is it? I reiterate my previous simile (sorry to digress) Should the police prosecute you if you smack your child as you have indicated you would in certain circumstances...even if it is against a "law." Do you honestly believe that is a good way to spend our hard earned (road) tax? I think we can agree (unless you are a twat of course:whistle:) that this is an example of bad law that should NEVER be policed...abusive parenting sure, but proper disciplining you child...dumb. presuming you agree then essentially you have to agree with my whole point which is, this cop that was "supposedly just doing his job" was in fact policing bad (easy) law that shouldn't be accepted just because we're told to, and furthermore, he should be able to use his discretion to decipher whether the 'speeder' was in fact endangering himself or others.

Their was nothing gained from him taking away the license of good responsible rider in this case, apart from getting some coin for Helen and putting a message across that they know better...Bugger that for a joke.:nono:. Now I must make myself clear that I am not saying that we should all go out there and go as fast a we like, I'm merely pointing out the FACT the speed alone does not kill, and in fact is usually the lesser of the evils when considering other contributing factors in an incident. If a bad driver (or even a good one that has made a poor decision) were held responsible for their actions on a daily basis then we would develop a different attitude to everything...sure their are people who are stupid and will never be responsible on the roads but this is not a defense to not do this, as we have these people on the roads now! I personally love to go fast, whether it be on a bike, flying a plane or driving a car and I know that speed is not bad...its good. I'm looking forward to track day in Taupo to give my ZX9R a crack at the track and will push it harder than I ever will on the roads because the situation allows it, But 100kph on our roads is not a magical 'safe' speed...speed does not kill!

essay over.
PS if anyone is wondering how I can write such a long reply in work hours, I've got the day off:Punk:. Furthermore, I'm very very passionate on this subject...if you want to hear a lecture, just bring up this topic and disagree with me:yes:

[slinky]

other thread seams to be closed?? i was just reading the discussion about passing and have this to add. Im about 10 pages behind. So, sorry if its already been said.

Personally i don't like people slowing down and pulling to the side for me to pass. Yes its most likely my fault because i have made them uncomfortable by following too close.
Its just that sometimes in the panic of having a "faster" rider behind you, you might not take the time to think about the safety of passing at that point - [whether you are out of their way or not]. Shit road surface, other traffic or it could be that I/they don't wnat to pass and then have to break hard, right in front of you for the corner coming up.
Basically the rider themselves should decide when to pass. NOT anybody else.
Long story short - Just keep riding, You will be passed when they decide.
Its an organised group ride, if they care that much about coming accross slower riders, they would go riding on their own and not join us.

[jrandom]

Its just that sometimes in the panic of having a "faster" rider behind you, you might not take the time to think about the safety of passing at that point...

Yeah, wot 'e said.

Me, I always try to start out at the back of rides. I'm not fast, someone always needs to take on the job of riding sweep, and if I get too bored I can always squirt ahead for a bit of a play.

On the open road, everyone should just focus on riding a safe line at their own pace. Anyone who wants to go at Warp 9 has the options of foregoing group riding, staying at the front of the pack and waiting at intersections, finding low-risk spots to pass, or just sucking it up and looking at the scenery for a change.

The onus should never be on slower or less experienced riders to move aside.

[ManDownUnder]

There's a difference between being able to ride in the dark and wet, and wanting to.

I felt, after much consideration, that staying home with the heater on, eating sweet and sour chicken and watching a film was a better way to go.

Yeah me too. Riding at night is ok but having done it enough I prefer scenery and warmth vs cold, dark and riding following a trail of tail lights.

Yeah it doesn't stress me out but thought I'd throw it out there for discussion. I don't ride with anyone except ATNR and haven't been that much. I don't move over to let people pass unless it's somewhere I think they would anyway and they might appreciate the space. I know what it's like trying to pass or choosing a spot to pass too, sometimes everything is perfect EXCEPT you can't be sure what the rider in front is thinking, generally they are the only thing that is not static in the scenario. Just wanted to see if any of the regular group riders had an "off ya go" signal or what.

Side note, quite bummed some of the posts that have been given the boot to over here are directly relevant to ATNR, have to agree the bickering doesn't have a place anywhere on the site really, get each others MSN addresses guys and go at it! Where no-one else has to see!

[Pancakes]

The name would give it away too! If people can't work out if it is or isn't related to the ride I'm not sure that the posts saying the same will help!

Like I said earlier mate, move to the left of the road dont slow down too much( if theyre good enuf to pass u they will, or bin tryin). And wav them past with ur right hand. If its safe enuf for u to ride with ur left hand then its safe enuf for them to pass. Personally I never pass on the ATNR unless theres a Rg150 or the likes in front of me then too I hold back and pass on the straights... Also I like havin noone in front of me coz my headlights are powerful and blinds other riders... and I cant/wont ride on dipper on the ATNR. But thats just me.:Punk:

So hands up who thinks it's a good idea to undertake?

Happened once, three of us together, i was in front (yes thats right) and was passing 3 cars on the straights before Kopu, i could see the 900 kwaka with me so when i got back into the lane after passing i moved to the left to give my mate room and fuck me! the other twat that was with us was coming up the inside on my left, didnt see him till it was almost to late, it was so close...fucken idiot, anybody does that me they will get a slap...not from me, from my wife!...:yes:

I know the exact position you are in, cus i did it when i started last year.

Its a good one for discussion, but then you will have people not involved in that discussion wondering wtf you are doing with your foot out, hand tapping your head while your indicators are turning back and fourth.
If its safe enough and there is enough time for you to take your hand off the handlebar and wave someone by, chances are if they wanted to they would have passed you already.
So i rekon its just best to worry about whats in front, ofcourse be aware that someone is behind you and that they might pass you. But leave the choice TOTALLY up to them.

Yea A guy did that to me two weeks ago. I was pissed at him!
Totally not a good idea. Far more dangerous than speeding I recon

[Pancakes]

Only had one near experience on the ride, a real young guy must not have seen me brake or was trying to pass on the newer/most bendy bit of that real narrow Rd up the hill from the Prison. Was waaay to close, pulled level with me and turned into me :angry:, I braked hard and they nearly got thrown as their bike was all over the show. Funny thing was they are somehow connected to a friend of my sister and we were at her place the week after and he had been telling them big fat ones about his heroics, when he saw my face the stories stopped. I wasn't a dick to him but I think he knew what actually (and nearly) happened. That was my first ATNR ride and when I got home I told my wife I wouldn't go if they went again. Haven't seen him since. :whocares:

[Qkchk]

Who's keen on a ride tonight? The weather is meant to be on the improve :sunny:

So is it gonna be a small bunch cause some people cant ride legally?

C'mon as said before,

"Why speed on the straights and pay the man when you can do legal speeds in the corners and have more fun doing it?" Ask yourself this - Can I do this ride without using my brakes into corners? Get to know the corners and what speed you can safely take them at - You'll be a better rider for it. :yeah:




At this stage, unless it pisses down........




The ride is on for tonight!



See you all up at Westgate 6.30pm

[Pancakes]

I'm keen, just can't stand on my right foot well and my bike is only going left at the moment. Have fun kids, remember, there's more than one way to get to the Pub! and the cops will be on only one of those routes if they are out tonight. Take away their lollies and they might not come to your little party?

Thursday

Showers for western areas, turning to rain late in the day. Mainly fine elsewhere, apart form some early cloud over the South Island.

As of last night the Main ATNR thread was Closed down. The mods have made 2 threads:

1. The Main ATNR ride thread
- This thread is locked and Sticky'd
- Where all the ride info/updates can be found
- Special details or points of interest
- Check here to see if the ride is on (or not)


2. The ATNR discussion thread (This Thread)
- Open discussion thread related to the ATNR
- Talking about the ride/how it went/what happened/who's go a new bike etc



I can understand why the Mods had to do this, people were getting a "tad" fed up having to read through pages of verbal diarroeah just to see if the ride was happening etc...... Hopefully this will resolve the issue.

Thanx,

i attended quite a few a couple of years back until i got busted, 40points and a $25 ticket for allegedly concealing my plate ( which i got off ). that ride about 7 of us got nicked by the bobby no mates ginga

only been up 16 a couple of times since and won't do that road any more... far too much bacon.

[ManDownUnder]

Cops or no cops - I'll be there. If the weather's crap I'll be heading straight to the pub. In fact - I'll probably just do that anyway. Riding in the dark's not really something I need to practice.

I thought that's what V twins are for...

Chuck away two pots, double the capacity of what you have left and attach industrial implements...

[Qkchk]

It'll give you more torque throughout your whole rev range D. Nice power out of corners and being able to overtake whilst still in 6th gear commuting it always a bonus.

BTW....it'll still do 280kmph afterwards and if not give it 'ere!

Ha ha ha, I assume your not coming up tonight - I suppose the weather could be holdin you back eh?

Yeah I'm only using the lower rev range most the the time on the bike, if I wanted a bit of grunt I gotta be doing 120kph in 1st gear and Im still no-where near red-line. :lol: Would like to use some of that mid-high range since the R1's low sucks.....

Qkkids ZX10 has a way superior low range than mine, the front gets all flighty and starts to lift, not a chance one mine (unless you drop the clutch - which I aint ever gonna do....)

HMM lets see....taking precautions, reading the road, riding to the conditions and all that jazz.

Bear in mind it wasnt a race!

Oh well if Im slower than you, at least I can say I have had less crashes and people respect me for who I am and how I ride. Im not out to impress anyone. Only enjoy riding with others who know how to ride safely and properly.

[ManDownUnder]

yeah - a few new faces.

For those that (understandibly) didn't show.

Fun ride with no ticketus-interupptus or premature evacuations along the way. Got to Kaukop and the drizzle arriving... decision made to head straight to the pub and we met the rain on the way. Good call re the pub. New faces and a few regulars (not sure which group I fit into LOL).... and talked plenty of shite into the nite.

007XX's hubby was there, bloody nice guy actually but he didn't do the tabletop dance to introduce himself. Aaaa well.

Cheers Dawn :rockon:

Short forecast for all New Zealand to midnight Thursday 09-Aug-2007

Northland to Waitomo, including the Bay of Plenty and Taupo
Fine apart from a few showers in the west.

******IMPORTANT NOTICE******


For all of those coming on the ride tomorrow, can you PLEASE bring a gold coin or two and donate some $$ for MACKS APPEAL (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1163750). He is one of our most staunchest ATNR supporters, so how about we give some support back?:hug:


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

we should see if the bar want to co-operate. They have a good relationship with Mack in particular.

Have a pool comp. All proceeds go to the appeal?

Good idea but we might have to make it for next week, too short a notice now....... we can all have a chat after the ride tmrw night and see what y'all think :yeah:

Ill give them a call?

It doesnt need too much organising I dont think, for the whole night its everyone playing pool, with the bar giving mack all the proceeds?

but actually, phrasing it like that theres got to be something in it for the bar - ie. greater numbers.

yep so I agree with ya.

[ManDownUnder]

Bump... Gold Coins tonight all... see my signature for details. I'm probably only doing a hit and run tonight for the $$. Nothing personal but I need to spend some family time too and my little people haven't seen me for more than an hour in the last 36...

Morcs - thanks man... cool idea... sounds like you're onto it.

Those that can't do the Gold Coin thing or simply prefer to, click the link on my sig, there's a bank account detailed there. Open your wallets and donate some love.

Cheers all...
