ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Qkchk]

Brilliant ride last night - And with NO cops involved........

40 Bikes made the effort :niceone: with some fine riding done, no complains from Joe Public either.........so the ATNR is not as bad as it sounds does it Mr.Vifferman? :p



Even though its dangerous and (heaven forbit me) law breaking.......... you cant help but smile when someone pops a mean mono alongside you....:love: or a two-up mono in front of you.......nice one BTW....

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Oh and Jrandom was watching your lady even if it looked like she was about to wear a Honda....... :no:


Er, wasn't my missus! (he nervously types while she looks over my shoulder...)

[Stickchick]

Oh and Jrandom was watching your lady even if it looked like she was about to wear a Honda....... :no:

That was me!!!:oi-grr: I didn't hear you at all until Jrandom yelled at me and saw you had already past me, lucky you don't target fixate.:woohoo:

[vifferman]

...so the ATNR is not as bad as it sounds does it Mr.Vifferman? :p
No, it were blardymarvellous!
I had a great time, and really enjoyed the second bit of the ride - did you enjoy following me, Qkchk*? Or did I need to take the restrictor outta the zorst so you could get the full V4 soundtrack?

I must take more time at the next ATNR to migle and meet people. :o


* Qkchk was following me only by chance, not because I ride better'n'her (I don't).

[NinjaNanna]

Even more amazing than there being no cops last night :second:, was the fact that NOBODY pissed off to the PUB early.

Must be the first time ever that every rider did the second part of the ride. Mean effort considering I counted 43 bikes at Dairy Flat.:first:

Oh yeh I do love the second part of that run!!!!!!!!! Ah the home stomping grounds. :rockon:

[jrandom]

Er, wasn't my missus!

Alex is in the military. They've trained him to grease pintles, not to communicate clearly.

:cool:

[Kittyhawk]

[vifferman]

:( Tisk tisk...next time we must meet.
Oh, but we did meet, Young Ms Kittyhawk. :shifty:
Do you not recall excitedly retelling the "We wheelied two-up!" tale, and being asked if you contributed by leaning back?

Then again, perhaps not.
I have an almost chameleon-like ability to blend into the background. Perhaps I should seek employment as a secret agent, or arseassin...

[Devil]

Been a bit sick of late, peoples. Hence my lack of attendance.
Might make next week.

I don't have an ass, just a donkey.

[007XX]

Bugger it. Will come outa retirement just to taunt the cops and abuse that plonker mark.

AH, well that's it...I'll be there next week too then. But might have to pillion behind 007XY if I want to check out your riding, no way in hell I'd be able to keep otherwise...:p

Soory to hear mate...get better soon eh?

[jrandom]

AH, well that's it...I'll be there next week too then. But might have to pillion behind 007XY...

It's a short ride, an experienced rider is always designated as tail-end charlie, and you won't be the only two fiddy.

Bring the VTR.

:yes:

[007XX]

It's a short ride, an experienced rider is always designated as tail-end charlie, and you won't be the only two fiddy.

Bring the VTR.

:yes:

Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know. But I was talking about keeping up with Sixpackback...still think I can do that with the VTR? :no:

Besides, it's nice pillioning from time to time...gives me a little joyride :eek:

[jrandom]

Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know. But I was talking about keeping up with Sixpackback...still think I can do that with the VTR? :no:

Of course you can; he's a total pussy.

;)

[Kittyhawk]

I don't have an ass, just a donkey.

EEEOWWWW ...does that mean its also hairy? eww *shudders* :whistle:



Besides, it's nice pillioning from time to time...gives me a little joyride :eek:

Hehe, so its competition to see who can get the wettest seat? :sweatdrop

[007XX]

Of course you can; he's a total pussy.

;)

Only if you know how to stroke him apparently...ask his wife!


Hehe, so its competition to see who can get the wettest seat? :sweatdrop

I don't have competition my dear...only followers! :lol::buggerd:

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Hehe, so its competition to see who can get the wettest seat? :sweatdrop

[Kittyhawk]

Erm, we talking Tena Lady.....or pornography here??:eek5::eek5:

Nah....its all about porn babe.. naked bikes, horny groaning sounds ahhh! :innocent:

[vifferman]

Crap, bugger...so you were there!
So, it was a bugger that I was there? :shit:

Didn't think you were going to make it...
Yeah, neither did I for a while. It was touch'n'go for a bit. :confused:

[vifferman]

EEEOWWWW ...does that mean its also hairy? eww *shudders* :whistle:
Yeah, it's really scary.

Here's an actual, real-life photo I took of it on 30/12/2006 (so it's probably even hairier now). In this pic, it's saying (and this is an actual quote too: "Man you're hairy! Us hairy beasts got to stick together!")

[Stickchick]

Nah....its all about porn babe.. naked bikes, horny groaning sounds ahhh! :innocent:

You going to use your pass for the back of Jrandoms bike then?

[007XX]

Hmm is that so? I feel sorry for your other half, cos he will be struggling to ride behind with a wet trail while we are up on one wheel!! lol


Not a prob for him, just for those following us...:p
And him following you? you haven't ridden with him yet, have you? :shifty: Not that I'm saying it's impossible, just that it would be interesting to see that's all! :innocent:



Yeah, neither did I for a while. It was touch'n'go for a bit. :confused:

You need to touch yourself before you go? :shit: Doood...way too much info! :pinch:


Yeah, it's really scary.

[sAsLEX]

Alex is in the military. They've trained him to grease pintles, not to communicate clearly.

:cool:

You understood. Communication was therefore effective.


Oh and I am enjoying my half day today. Go the make and mend!

[Kittyhawk]

You going to use your pass for the back of Jrandoms bike then?

I'll get round to it in Kitty time lol! will have to find a towel though, Cos Betty is just that sexy!! :bleh: it'd be 2-3 year wait hahaha.




Sorry I diddnt make it--totally in kid mode. Swimming and stuff.

Did ya use a flutterboard?

How did they ever get that name, they dont look like butterflies or flutter at all in any way.....:pinch:

[Kittyhawk]

Yeah, it's really scary.

[007XX]

Cheers. Just need to borrow me a liver and i'll be all good.

Oh :pinch: can't really help there I'm afraid. Apparently, you can't go without your own for too long :rolleyes:

[Chocky]

Sorry I diddnt make it--totally in kid mode. Swimming and stuff.

thats a shame dude, I was looking for you to show you the mods I'v made to the RF9 (bog, primer,scratched mirrors,etc) :doh:
see you next week????

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Cheers. Just need to borrow me a liver and i'll be all good.

Like some Fava beans and a nice Chianti with that?

[Devil]

No beans. Seriously. I'm so bloated. Ugh. Too many pills.

Will have my new bike shortly...

[ManDownUnder]

thats a shame dude, I was looking for you to show you the mods I'v made to the RF9 (bog, primer,scratched mirrors,etc) :doh:
see you next week????

I thought those were standard GIXXER mods...

[vifferman]

I thought those were standard GIXXER mods...
Oh! :slap:
So that's why jrandom's brand-new bike has sundry scratches, and a duct-taped mirror!
Not doubt he's still saving for some special aftermarket GIXXER go-fast bog, and trying to decide which colour primer would best complement the glossy black paint.. :yes:

[Chocky]

I thought those were standard GIXXER mods...

Well it does have a gixxer big end :rolleyes:
(and a chocky nobend :pinch:)

[Kittyhawk]

Well it does have a gixxer big end :rolleyes:
(and a chocky nobend :pinch:)

Reckon he should modify those handle bars and put monkey bars ones on, extend the swingarm, lower it, nos it, customise a paint job and away ya go :devil2:

[more_fasterer]

Turned up at bar africa at 10:15 rather drunked, there were no bikers there!

What the hell? I thought all bikers were 'ard, and would drink until they could no longer stand, then do a burnout the length of the road upon departure...

[jrandom]

Turned up at bar africa at 10:15 rather drunked, there were no bikers there!

Macktheknife, tide, Stickchick and I (and a fulla on a blue Bandit 6 who I forget the handle of) were there until 10:30.

Did you not see Betty parked upon the grass out front?

[more_fasterer]

Nope, didn't see Betty's ample figure outside.

Maybe I got my timing wrong? 10:45 perhaps. Never been wrong before - what a wierd sensation!:innocent:

[El Dopa]

ride behind with a wet trail

Speaking of wet trails, I hope the guy with the knackered radiator got home ok - Noel, was it? And his missus with the flat tyre.

Hopefully they got rid of all their bad luck for the month in one evening.

See y'all next week. I might even talk to some of you. If you're unlucky.

[Jorja]

Just how fast do you need to go to be on one of these rides?

[Lula]

Just how fast do you need to go to be on one of these rides?

And at what experience level usually attend these rides?

[BIGBOSSMAN]

As long as you can hit 100k on the open road you'll be fine, there is always a tail end charlie to show any stragglers where to go. And as far as experience goes, it's not a knee draggers GP (ha ha) so as long as you're confident about your open road riding you'll be just fine. See ya'll next week then!

[FROSTY]

You wont be seeing Jorja or me at a tnr for a couple of weeks. But we will se there once school starts

[Lula]

And as far as experience goes, it's not a knee draggers GP (ha ha) so as long as you're confident about your open road riding you'll be just fine. See ya'll next week then!

Ok the ATNR sounds like a bit of me BIGBOSSMAN so we will see you next week and I'll try and keep the knees up!!!

you got that right:niceone:

some of us dig the engine into the ground before we can get the knee down, I really have to get a slimmer bike:o

as for riding fast, I have plenty of experience but the old technology of the bike doesn't allow me to push too hard

[sAsLEX]

scary too, I cant count the times I have nearly sucked the seat up a certain orifice while diving into a corner way too fast :doh:

[jrandom]

'kin A, I was really enjoying watching that old thing getting thrashed around the corners in front of me on those skinny-arse tyres!

Finall managed to play the virgin, taking the bike along for the first time and I was quite suprised, in a good way.
Awesome orgranisational skills by the "QK's", thanks for the breifing about the ride and the heads up about those 35k corners :)

Sorry to the Hyosung rider who followed me down the wrong road :slap:

[Qkchk]

Weather is looking good for tmrw night!

[Chocky]

You'll be in trouble if you do, be careful not to slip over when you come near me :shutup:

Sorry Kitty, I did find my old leathers but when I put them on the zip on the fly popped! (maybe I'm a bit bigger 'down there' than I used to be?)
I will be there tomorrow in my loose bottomed hand-me-down female's leather's (my sis gave them to me :( )

Oi! dont you go pulling out a Pumba stunt on me! He's never lived it down as he was chatting to us at westgate and another male Kber noticed his fly was down before me!!

Just pack ya ass full of bog roll, it'll work....then you'd look like a hoochie mama....:pinch:

Ya gota give me a hug so I know who ya are....there's too many noobs on the ride thesedays :bleh:

[Qkchk]

So who is keen for an outing this evening?

[Morcs]

I am always :D

[vifferman]

So who is keen for an outing this evening?
I dunno about keen, but I'm seriously considering it, and all set to go. :yes:
Even took my zorst restrictor out for you, so you can hear the V4 growl.
Didja get your mufflers gutted?

[Nagash]

And I still got 10 bucks saying everyone's keeping their license until Feb 1st.

[Qkchk]

Didja get your mufflers gutted?

Not yet............ thats a work in progress. However I do have a set of Hot Grips on the bike. (Yes it is the wrong time of the year but at least they are on now)

[vifferman]

:niceone:
I thought they were for wusses until I bought the VFR. It's amazing how much warmer you feel if your hands are warm!

[hedgier1]

Bloody Auckland Pansies. Hand grip warmers....lol.lol.
I guess you will all be getting orange flags next.

[vifferman]

Bloody Auckland Pansies. Hand grip warmers....lol.lol.

Hey! That's a bloody good idea.:niceone:
D'ya know where we can get some? Might start a group buy thread.

[SixPackBack]

And I still got 10 bucks saying everyone's keeping their license until Feb 1st.

Your a brave man. After a long break I will be riding tonight, and traditionally either licences are lost or bikes crashed when I turn up:blink:

I got my fingers crossed its gunna be all good:whistle:

[Pumba]

Well missed last week, so best I make an apearance this week

[Devil]

Yep, i'm aiming to be there this week. You bastards better feel priviledged, i'm even going to wash the bike.

Dont crash in front of me cos i'm not stopping.

[vifferman]

Yep, i'm aiming to be there this week. You bastards better feel priviledged, i'm even going to wash the bike..
Why? :spudwhat:
It looked shiny enough to me, the other night. :blink:

[Devil]

That was just the Triumph glow. It's filthy.

[vifferman]

Black's somewhat OK for hiding road spooge, but it shows the dust'n'dirt rather badly. My VFR750 was a bastid for that: the paint was black (so attracted dust'n'dirt), and the wheels were white (so they sucked up all the road spooge).

This blue one's worse though - it sucks up scratches from somewhere. :confused:

[skidMark]

I will be at the pub.

Provided KittyHawk and Badger8 are going.

[Qkchk]

This blue one's worse though - it sucks up scratches from somewhere. :confused:

Yeah I noticed them last week........... you must have some pretty bad roads 'round your way.......

[vifferman]

Yeah I noticed them last week........... you must have some pretty bad roads 'round your way.......
:confused:

Yeah - that's it! The roads.
Yeah definitely the roads.

Although the ones on the tank are from our Norflund holiday in Easter 2006.
I neglected to check the underside of the tankbag, and picked up some grit on our 60km or so of riding on gravel roads. :o

You're gonna love the Northland ride! :2thumbsup

[Pumba]

See you turkeys at Westgate hmmmmmmmmmm me got heated grips tooooooo:banana:

Shit Steve, youve gone soft too. Next thing you will be buying a Honda to match the other one in the shed:bleh:

[Xile]

Stop being lazy and ride down for the ride, or to the pub :D

Hehe..I'll try maybe next week if weather is good and not working, not diving and awake lol!

[ManDownUnder]

Step right up step right up... only one more chance to lose your license this side of February and someone needs to... there's a tradition to be upheld and I have $10 on the line.

Step right up step right up. Don't be shy, apparently it's not actually painful physically and a good number have taken the plunge already. It's clearly the right thing to do.

Step right up step right up!

[ArcherWC]

Archer - try and keep up next time will ya bro - I must have passed you 3 or 4 times throughout the ride - and I was 2 up!


Hahaha.....im pretty sure it dosnt count when im stopped directing the ride on a corner

[Morcs]

Hehe..I'll try maybe next week if weather is good and not working, not diving and awake lol!

Let me know if you need accomodation.

Bah. I did it last week and got to front...

Derek on the VTR had pulled your trick, slowed down. Kitty was pillion and spanked her arse as I reluctantly went past.

After tail end finally came through, caned it and got to the front... passing kitty and spanking my arse as I went past :D

heheh

[Nagash]

Haha, clock's ticking. Last chance :2thumbsup

I just went to the doc's again today, they took off my third cast and it's still buggered so have a brand new one back on for an all up 9 weeks in a cast. F*ck..

[Qkchk]

Anyone coming on the ride tonight or can I have a night off?

[vifferman]

Anyone coming on the ride tonight or can I have a night off?
Can't you have a night off anyway? :spudwhat:
I thought we were all (mostly) grownups...

[Pumba]

I might give it a miss tonight, shit im still trying to recover from the weekend:blink:

I thought we were all (mostly) grownups...

Well each time Im not there, someone either:

-Gets Lost and ends up at Wellsford
-Loses their Licence and ends up walking

So maybe MANDOWNUNDER should pay me to stay at home tonight! :blink:

I enjoy doing the ride but if there are only going to be a small group I would rather stay home and watch Shortland Street.

[NinjaNanna]

I would rather stay home and watch Shortland Street.

OMG what has that Honda done to you :oi-grr:

Sell it, sell it now I say!!!!!!!!

Mind you I can't say anything I can't make it tonight cause I've got a bloody conf call setup for work at 8pm, hey maybe if I time it right I can do it at Dairy Flat.

...and there's another $20 that says we can't make it through Feb...

Thought you weren't into escalating bets - that looks like DOUBLE OR NOTHING to me!!!

Fookin' awesome sounding bike yours. Loved that note when you tapped it open a couple of times...

[ManDownUnder]

Thought you weren't into escalating bets - that looks like DOUBLE OR NOTHING to me!!!

Nope - that's a pro rated bet. The first one was for 2 rides (only offered half way through January)... this is for the whole of Feb. First one to take it wins... assuming no licenses are lost of course...

[Devil]

Not a bad ride. Some of the riding skill displayed left a little to be desired however...

[NinjaNanna]

Oh dear!!! Was there a BIN or was some twit being inconsiderate?

Details please - but please don't name and shame or identify the bike, I'm sure the rider should recognise themselves.

I'm a big believer in CONSTRUCTIVE criticism so unless the rider was confronted last night how are they to know that their behaviour was not appreciated by all?

Also this is NOT a dig at Devil or an attempt at putting him on the spot, I truely beleive that some online debriefing after the ride could help the supposedly poor reputation of the ATNR.

[ManDownUnder]

Not a bad ride. Some of the riding skill displayed left a little to be desired however...

I heard you say that last night but got no detail... am keen to hear and if it was me feel free to point it out. Live and learn man.

Respect!

[Kittyhawk]

People should know how to ride and know their limits.

If constructive debrief should be done at the end of each ride shouldnt those who feel that attend a newbie ride instead?

The whole point is to just ride, meet up at a pub talk and meet other bikers...

Ride at your own risk.

Ride at your own risk.

There is a big difference between Newbie mistakes - and Testosterone fueled reckless abandon.

My proposal was to generate a non confrontational method in which one could say...

"to the guy who overtook me on the double yellows at the top of the crest, that was fuckin stupid and the oncoming car that had to brake and pull over to the side, scared the shit out of me. But because I didn't want to create a public specticule and ruin the evening for all those who just "want to ride, meet up at a pub talk and meet other bikers...." I let it slip"

My proposal was that the "offending" rider should remain anonymous and the complaint should be made after the "offended" has had time too cool down, all in an attempt to prevent any serious anamousity to arise.

Please tell me how else one is meant to raise any such issue with out stuffing up the night?

And as for "ride at your own risk" I hope that was a PT.

It happens. No matter how much people debrief etc when the helmet goes on, bike starts up, you're in a different mode, different frame of thinking.
In most cases there is always one on a ride...(I'll put my hand up and say yes I've done it)
Best way to sort it, go up and punch the fucker over. Name and shame why? because people know right from wrong.
The only way to get the message across is in a negative manner..Skidmark is an example, people dont compliment him on his riding, only mention the negative.

[ManDownUnder]

The whole point is to just ride, meet up at a pub talk and meet other bikers...

Agreed but that's fucken hard to do if you're lying in a ditch somewhere, bounced off a tree, gone through a fence or are left standing on the side of the road waiting for 28 days to get your license back.

If I EVER do something dumb - I want people to point it out. That's what a true friend will do - bugger being popular. The one and only time I've shouted at SkidMark was for exactly that reason - he put his life and the life of a good friend of mine at risk.

Whether I choose to learn from that is over to me. Likewise if anyone EVER does something that puts me or mine at risk... I'll similarly have words.

If a debrief helps then all well and good. What's the downside? And what about those with poor risk assessment? Do I stand back and watch them hurt themselves? No - HELL no. I can't do that in good conscience.

[MadDuck]

If I EVER do something dumb - I want people to point it out.

....is that motorcycling related only :dodge:

[ArcherWC]

I say as long as people arnt endangering you directly, leave them too it, genoclean will get them eventually or the filth.

The only exception to this, is if your the ride organiser. If you are tell whoever you like off, but still remember at the end of the day, they are public roads and you cant stop d%ckheads using them.

And if yourve got a problem with my riding, tuff luck, ride somewhere else

[ManDownUnder]

yes - I don't have enough hours in the day otherwise...

You can be SO rude!

That's exactly what I meant, I don't care if you pass me doing 200km on the road to Dairy Flat, as long as you don't cut too close to me!

As long as you are respecting my personal space then I'm happy.

The most anyone can do is give advice or guide. We have people to police the roads for a reason. No one can control another on a machine of grace. Certian inputs create negative and unpredictable outputs, but one must remember that at the end of the day, anyone out on a road could always be close to death.

I see it if people fuck it up, put others at risk etc, then they should not be welcome back to the group, however we have no control over riding on the roads as this is a public environment.

As for those with poor risk assesment...do we ride with strait jackets on??

[ManDownUnder]

I see it if people fuck it up, put others at risk etc, then they should not be welcome back to the group, however we have no control over riding on the roads as this is a public environment.

In extreme examples yes, but we haven't reach that point with anyone yet (have we?) and as you point out - what're we going to do? We only have control over ourselves so a quiet wander to KFC Westgate might be the order of the day?


As for those with poor risk assesment...do we ride with strait jackets on?? No - we point it out to them when they do something stupid and do what we can to increase their chances of survival.

Should they be THAT bad they are a constant risk to themselves and others - I'd ring the cops and have them re-assess their entitlement to use a vehicle on public roads. Curtailing the freedom of an individual not worthy of it is the much better option relative to someone getting hurt... lety alone dying.

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[westie]

Mental note to self - dont piss off mdu on the road and will stay out of jail(:

Lots of banter
Sounds like it was a good ride though

I dont see the point in increasing the chances of survival because no matter how safe you are out there on the roads, there will always be someone else who will stuff it up for you. We could all be riding along in safety bubbles wear all the safety gear and still someone would get inside and hurt you. There is one kber, whom I told him "too much power too soon, you dont have experience to naturally control it should things go wrong" hate to say it, but he's not with us anymore..I told him, he brushed it off and laughed at me. I walked away shaking my head. How do I feel now? heartless I tried, but people are stubborn will do what they want when they want.

*sighs* Im warning you now, you better ring the cops in advance before I get my next bike.

[ManDownUnder]

:blink:

I've never met you directly but I understand your a pretty good sort (based on people I know who know you) - but dude, you gotta give more room to other riders on the ATNR. Overtaking on fast sweeping corners may be all fine and dandy for you but some others (me for one) don't like being forced that close to other riders. A few ATNR rides ago you did this to me at the top of old north road where they go mountain bike riding...I was forced to adjust my line and brake heavily to allow you to come back into the correct line (you overtook me in the same lane as me while I was on the full lean) - I was pissed rightly at you that night...I went looking for you at the pub to give you an ear full but you weren't there...probably just as well in hindsight. Anyway, I'm not trying to take the piss but when I read this comment from you I was compelled to say something. My only comment is that I don't want to ride hard out with people I don't know - who also don't know me. The ATNR in my view is not a good venue for this type of riding. Like NinjaNana said I have no problem with people going as fast as they want but don't force me to share your risk...ensure that, if you are going to go hard, you ONLY place yourself at risk and no other road users.

Sorry if you take this the wrong way...its supposed to be constructive.

[Qkchk]

Have I missed something here?

Since when did ANYONE bin on last weeks ride?


I would hope if any one of you have been seriously offended by someone elses' riding attitude, you would let me know as per Post #1 of this thread:


"...........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)................ "

By the term Endangering - Hitting a kill switch on someone elses handlebar while motion is a good example........or running people off the road. There have been a few serious contenders for this "instant dismissal" but usually this is resolved by a few serious word with the offender.

[ManDownUnder]

Have I missed something here?

Of course you have - riding that chook chaser you're always going to struggle keeping up. (It looked like a laugh though!)

[Nagash]

Christ, completely forgot about the bet.

You can buy me a beer when my cast comes off and I actually attend one of these ANTR thing-os.

Cheers! :laugh:

Not taken the wrong way mate, Noel (the stranger) gave me a yell the next day to ask what I had done, and I was truly supprised.
I actually overtook both of you on the same corner and he was happy with the space givern (though we have ridden together a reasonable amount), also I should note that it was round the outside, so if I had a moment, then it wouldnt affect you.
I was actually on the other side of the road and didnt pull back in till I was past Noel (in front of you) so not sure why you were braking or adjusting your line (maybe I gave you a bit of a fright :dodge:)
To be fair i thought at the time that you were probably being a bit of a sook, But like you I know people that know you who seem to think your ok.

Anyway no drama, introduce yourself next time (or I will if I see ya first)

Now that's the spirit I had intended, bling sent both your ways. No fuckin drama, and now Archer knows to give Biggles a little extra room.

Sweet as, thank guys.

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Good boys, a much nicer way to solve minor issues than, say, thrusting a towbar up someones arse for instance.
I congratulate the both of you. Next!:2thumbsup

Yeah, yeah.

Biggles said that he had to brake hard and move left to let you back onto the left-hand side of the road after you overtook him.

Sounds like you:

A. Bit off more than you could chew with the overtake - if you'd made it stick properly, he should have been able to hold his line and squirt off the apex without needing to brake as you dipped back in.

B. Were riding as though Old North Road was a racetrack with runoff space and no oncoming traffic.

All things considered, it sounds as though you had a bit of the old red mist going on and were more or less being a twat.

Good lessons to be learned, problem won't occur again, I'm sure, glad to see we're all responsible adults who handle things maturely, etc.

Next please.

Expressing a genuine opinion ain't trolling, even if it might rile a couple of people up.

Nobody had pointed out the meat of the matter, ie, that the issue arose from Archer failing to make his pass stick properly, so I thought I'd chuck in my $0.02 worth.

Edit: If I was trolling, I'd be asking why an R1 couldn't put at least a bike length's distance on a 636 during an outside pass, and making a few snide power-to-weight jokes, but that'd just be asking for far too many witty and entirely well-deserved comebacks, so here's me, shutting my mouth...

I'm taking Biggles' word for what happened. Archer didn't argue with it, so it seems to be an accepted version of events.

A bit of clarity around the "don't go around the outside of someone on the wrong side of the road unless you can positively, definitely make it stick" point never goes amiss.

True - safety is a good thing (he says referring back to his previous posts)

I'd say that sounds cheesy but given the context it might not be a good thing. Smells fishy perhaps? mm... again no. And anything starting with "bloody" is ruled out right?

The onus is always on the passer to do it safely and make it stick.

If the guy being passed feels bad about it, it was a bad pass. End of story. Gotta live by that rule, or everything turns to custard.

If I ever go around someone and they tell me later they didn't like it, they'll have my unreserved, weasel-word-free apology.


Smells fishy perhaps? mm... again no. And anything starting with "bloody" is ruled out right?

I think 'porridgy' is the word you're looking for.

:D

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Yeah Yeah....i wasn't around when Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the moon but i have my ideas on what happened there cos people talk...:sweatdrop

Now Maha quietly slipps out of the thread....:yes:


Hey, maybe the ATNR was staged on a giant film set, just like the moon walk was? (check out the vibrating sand, strange shadow direction, fluttering flag et al...)

Ahh but unfortunately the :Police: are real enough

[Biggles08]

I actually overtook both of you on the same corner and he was happy with the space givern

You actually pulled back in front of me prior to carrying on, hence I did have to give you room.


I was actually on the other side of the road and didnt pull back in till I was past Noel (in front of you) so not sure why you were braking or adjusting your line (maybe I gave you a bit of a fright :dodge:)
As above, and yes you did give me a fright


To be fair i thought at the time that you were probably being a bit of a sook, I am so a sook!

But like you I know people that know you who seem to think your ok. Bloody liers the lot of them!

Anyway no drama, introduce yourself next time (or I will if I see ya first) Fairy nuff... I'm not one to hold grudges...too much.:love:

Oh Jrandom re the power to weight ratio thingie...I was actually riding my ZX9R not the 636 at the time so that would explain that a bit better.

I still think the ATNR is a little too much of a 'my nuts are bigger than yours' type of a ride and more care needs to be taken around the twisties and other bikes, its not just this event I'm referring to its in general. I go on plenty of rides with my mates and sometimes we have upto 10 bikes on a ride but everyone seems to respect each others space way better than riders on the ATNR (In general).

I personally don't actually really enjoy the riding part of the ATNR as much as the get together at the pub generally...but every time I decide to come I can't bring myself 'not to ride' and go straight to the pub...so maybe I'll just hang about with tail end from now. Just some food for thought people and ArcherWC, I'll buy at the next one ok:beer:

[ArcherWC]

Looking forward to the beer mate.

Just to put the record straight too, JRandom, best keep your opinions to yourself especially when stating as if they are fact.
The only people involved or anywhere near the event were myself, biggles and the stranger.
1. I actually pulled back into the lane in front of the stranger who was in front of biggles.
2. I could see well past the corner, so knew there was no oncoming traffic
3. there was no red mist, I just had to get to a dinner date (why you couldnt find me at dairy flat)
4. I most definatly do NOT treat the ride as a race (kinda did when I first started doing them), I keep my racing on the track and are generally pretty sedate considering the potential of the bike I ride

Anyway, biggles and I had sorted things as the two involved and didnt need you sticking your oar in

surely this is enough about this on the forum, if Biggles want to say anything else, thats his perogative (and no one elses) and he will be getting my apology in person (not on line) for giving him a fright :Oops::love:

I pretty much agree with you on this one. I think part of it is that there is so many different riders on different types of bikes, so no one really knows the pecking order, so to speak.

I generally ride with people of a similar ability on similar types of bikes away from this ride and you definatly dont get the issues.

However, as a social ride, the ATNR is all good

[Kittyhawk]

Would have been more interesting if ya all fight it out over a drinking game...:jerry:

na, im too much of a girl, cant even wheely properly (or ride apparently :baby:)

[Morcs]

This is actually true.

I actually feel embarrassed now if I try and take it easy. So I end up riding fast - when Id actually rather cruise.

I have my reputation to uphold.

[ArcherWC]

Bwahahahaha


thats actually really funny, I havent seen you crash in aaaaaages

[hedgier1]

Farq in hell........ ATNR sounds good. I might have to come up and show Archer how to ride the R1.......!!!! Yes the ATNR is a social ride and some people do ride fast. But if you guys wanna shit kick don't bother coming. Its easy. Steve and Dawn do a stand up job of organising the ride. Like Archer said any problems should be said to the person involved. Not disputed on KB. As for JRandom seeya. If you don't want to come don't.

[Cr1MiNaL]

:blink:

I've never met you directly but I understand your a pretty good sort (based on people I know who know you) - but dude, you gotta give more room to other riders on the ATNR. Overtaking on fast sweeping corners may be all fine and dandy for you but some others (me for one) don't like being forced that close to other riders. A few ATNR rides ago you did this to me at the top of old north road where they go mountain bike riding...I was forced to adjust my line and brake heavily to allow you to come back into the correct line (you overtook me in the same lane as me while I was on the full lean) - I was pissed rightly at you that night...I went looking for you at the pub to give you an ear full but you weren't there...probably just as well in hindsight. Anyway, I'm not trying to take the piss but when I read this comment from you I was compelled to say something. My only comment is that I don't want to ride hard out with people I don't know - who also don't know me. The ATNR in my view is not a good venue for this type of riding. Like NinjaNana said I have no problem with people going as fast as they want but don't force me to share your risk...ensure that, if you are going to go hard, you ONLY place yourself at risk and no other road users.

Sorry if you take this the wrong way...its supposed to be constructive.


Not taken the wrong way mate, Noel (the stranger) gave me a yell the next day to ask what I had done, and I was truly supprised.
I actually overtook both of you on the same corner and he was happy with the space givern (though we have ridden together a reasonable amount), also I should note that it was round the outside, so if I had a moment, then it wouldnt affect you.
I was actually on the other side of the road and didnt pull back in till I was past Noel (in front of you) so not sure why you were braking or adjusting your line (maybe I gave you a bit of a fright :dodge:)
To be fair i thought at the time that you were probably being a bit of a sook, But like you I know people that know you who seem to think your ok.

Good boys, a much nicer way to solve minor issues than, say, thrusting a towbar up someones arse for instance.
I congratulate the both of you. Next!:2thumbsup


You boys want to get a room? :dodge:

[Morcs]

I love this thread.

I hope this helps.

[hedgier1]

Morc's What is your reputation?????? SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Stranger]

But like you I know people that know you who seem to think your ok.


I know both of you, and I know the truth.



You're both cunts.

[ArcherWC]

[Biggles08]

I know both of you, and I know the truth.
You're both cunts.

Ahhhh the dagger of truth :-). I told you ArcherWC...they were lying about me :yes:

Reminds me of a movie...

Theres three types of people, dicks, pussy's and arseholes....dicks fuck pussy's and so pussy's don't like dicks. But dicks sometimes fuck arseholes too because there only an inch and a half away from pussy's.....etc etc

The question is did you get lucky bro!!
