ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Pumba]

*Ahem* Name and shame?

We will wait and see if he wants to own up to it himself first:shutup:

[FROSTY]

Hey one thing that did worry me. There was one person on the ride.
No jacket and no gloves --pretty scarey stuff concidering what we did indeed encounter along the way

[classic zed]

Great ride as usual, sorry I didnt come to the pub I went home to do some more paperwork

[NinjaNanna]

Um doofus of the night award--hmm- mr outa gas in the middle of nowhere :whistle:

MUNTER of The Month goes to name and shane

[forkoil]

Well done Shane, we was waitin :shifty:

[ManDownUnder]

Don't know if it's been said or no... but if you are on point make sure you are easily visible to the stream of bikes that need to see you. Sitting 20m around the corner is a bit fucken late when a bike goes past you, closely followed by the bikes behind them.

I understand there was a case (or two?) or people leaving the corner before Tail End Charlie came through too. For those that are new(ish) to the ride - this causes ab-so-lute mayhem.

People go missing, get lost, we're not sure if anyone's lying in a gutter somewhere and it makes life absolute hell for those organising it (That'd be the quickies by the way... huge huge HUGE ups to them for that).

I recon anyone on point going AWOL has to buy one food platter for the table at the far end. Lessons get learned and us poor hungry bikers get a feed...

I'll second that

[007XX]

Shame hubby and I couldn't make it yesterday for the ride, as it had a good turn out. But it was great catching up with "the mad house lot" :laugh: afterwards at the pub.

*and Frosty gives great hugs :D, and Big Dog gives the best piggy back rides :niceone:*

So many new faces though :shit:.

I hope to be able to ride out with you all next week, then go on to have some drinkies for Mack.

[Qkchk]

MUNTER of The Month goes to name and shane D'OH! And here we were having a giggle at Frostys expence. Message got a bit scrambled by the time we got it at the other end........

Well said MDU. :yeah: As I said at the midway re-group, if you do not want to participate and do pointer duty you might as well f#$k off from the ride as you are letting down the rest of the group! The pointer system works very well - it stops riders getting lost and helps locate accidents or breakdowns.... and dont think that I never take note of who was supposed to be at those points....

Some riders did have trouble spotting the pointers due to their position on the road. Keep in the back of your mind when get to point, that if you were to come around the corner - would you see them where you are sitting now? :scratch:

However there were 80% new riders on the ATNR last night and we did 70% new route so even with a few hiccups I think things went very well considering we had 38 bikes...............


On another note:

What did everyone think of the route last night? Boring or good? (Becides the Road Works - but they were everywhere!) Still open to peoples comments via PM - if you know of a good road let me know and we will see if it can be included into the ATNR.

Thanks for the ride guys n gals - Will be trying another new route next Thursday.......

It's actually better when you're in the right place too because you get the best seat in the house. You can see the stream of bikes pouring up tot he intersection, then powering away. I think it looks great!

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[hedgier1]

Was a great ride last night Qkchk. Thanx.... Oh I miss the ATNR.....
Glad I can come up and do it from time to time.
Was disappointed not seeing more of the older crowd on the ride . Mostly newbies. Was a great route tho......
The Road works was a bit hair-raising near Albany. Didn't realise they were there until on top of the gravel.
heheeheh

[FROSTY]

Actually it ainst so much newbees--as you lot havent turned up for awhile :spanking:
One Thing I'd just like to add --JORJA was on a lil 225. I was riding ultra conservative sticking to posted speeds etc. Jorja stayed with me the whole time. Then we got to the gravel bits and her dirt riding experience came in.
She was Catching up with much bigger bikes
And this for a ATNR virgin --and only her second ride on that bike
Brought a tear to me eye it did

[Morcs]

Get your shit together and get up here Mike.

:eek:

heard hes gettin rid of the ol kawaka for a Yammie R1 smart man that one.
PS; Dawn I thought the ride had way to many straights... kinda boring tbh imo anyway.

[Chocky]

Loved the route, when you said W...... road, my eyes lit up! my back yard thrashing roads! think I may have scared a few Gixxers and other big bikes just before Kemu, if you know them,those sweepers can be taken at quite a clip :scooter:

[Cr1MiNaL]

meh meh all I could see were straights... Schnappy likes crazy tight corners, not dronning on 6th at 110 meeh meh... bring back the old route I say. dont need to speed on those roads to have fun. Take the sweepers at 110 ull get ur knee down have fun if thats your thing etc... let alone some of the other bits, I'd be impressed if anyone could hold a constant 80 through some of those twisties. my 2c.

There's two options, they go like this:

1) Turn up
2) Have a nice cruise through the countryside
3) Finish up at pub to talk shit before heading home.

Or the other option which people seem to like taking:

1) Turn up
2) Ride like a knob and lose licence
3) Too embarrased to turn up at pub.

I generally pick the first one.

Hey Mates is it possible for another Saffer on his gixxer to jion in on the thursday nite fun :blank:No problems as long as you dont run anyone off the road and can listen to instructions.......best thing is come along and see if its your kind of ride. Have had alot of people come and go over the years and Ive still havent got rid of half of them... ;)

Reading Page 1 of this thread sums it up quite nicely. Don't endanger anyone else on the ride and you are responsible for your own actions. All is explained at the pre-ride briefing on the night. As said above - Come and try, if you dont like what you see.......well, its up to you.

maybe I should remove a couple of his spark plugs and see if that will help him stick to the speed limit:scooter:

While on point duty I got a telling off by a local angered at the disregard, exhibited by riders in the group, for the posted speed limits of 70 and 80kph .

[Pumba]

While on point duty I got a telling off by a local angered at the disregard, exhibited by riders in the group, for the posted speed limits of 70 and 80kph .

At which intersection ws that?

It is not unknowen that a number of residents on the regualr route do not apreciate the presance of the ATNR, I hope you told the local that you where not responsible for anyones actions apart form your own and personally you had great regard for the posted speed limit:innocent: :whistle:; however because you are good natured person you shall raise the issues with those responsible an thell them they have been bad people:spanking:

[Qkchk]

Grab it and run with it.

"thanks - just this time or every time?"
They get more of a say
"I'll pass it on"

Pass it onto the group.

The more we keep the locals happy the less plodding around gets done if you get my drift...

[FROSTY]

Im finkin someone needs to do a rekkie--roumour has it that the "regular" route aint as bad as the alternate--but hey How would I know ?

Yea I know how that feels, I got an ear-bashing a few weeks ago by...well... 'a man in a 4x4' he finnished his tiraid with "I had 1 of those things when I was young and it damm near killed me!" wot a twatt :baby:

[skidMark]

Not if you obey the road rules.

As he said they were pissy because of the disregard for the road rules.

and you wonder why the cops wait, it's like you don't realise cops swarm kb like flies.

and i don't mean posting members like scumdog, as in people at central checking threads, and i have it on good authority, it's been going on for years, why do you think i watch what details i give.

nubs.

Wasnt he doing like 10kph down the centre line as well??

[Morcs]

Wasnt he doing like 10kph down the centre line as well??

Apparently he got a load of license plates for the people who flew passed him way over the limit.

Yet to hear anything about it :mellow:

Of course I wasnt one of them.

[FROSTY]

ACTUALLY I dunno if its just me but the QUALITY of riding on the ride seems to have improved a heap.
Seems that perhaps the idiot fringe has gone

[westie]

I agree with ya frosty
Its sounds good. Some however still hang on the thread unfortunately.
Too lazy to ride(or have no licence/bike) but really big mouths!!

[Hinny]

She parked beside and a little behind me for a while before she started to talk.
I think she was checking out my ass and having a moan was her icebreaker.
Or maybe she was checking out my pretty candy-ass red Honda and figured I must be gay and therefor easy to talk to.

[007XX]

heres a thought. if everyone ignored his rantings .......

Hear, hear...love your sense of logic! :niceone:

I'll be there tonight, and plan on riding as well...I got some mental cobweb to blow off. Also, let's not forget it is Macktheknife's drinkies...

But I'll be an angel and respect the law :innocent: No troubles with Mr Poliquy for me, thanks you very much :p

No Mikey adjusted my suspension so the rotary dampener only works on rebound and not compression.

Results in feeling like 2 wheel drifts while taking long corners at 160+

[Morcs]

LOL.... *sigh*... yeah...

Ok probably wouldnt.

TEC is fun -you get to be LAST everywhere and have people think YOU were dumb enuff to run outa gas---OYY FYI--thats TEC's job :whistle:

indeed....made it through with both license and bike intact! I think I like tail end Charlie :-):yes:

[FROSTY]

Unbreakable rules for ATNR. --DON'T go OHH shit the lead rider went down the wrong road --and try to pass 30 other bikes to get to her.Especially not on a 27 odd horsepower nekkid twin thats seen better days.
Dont whilst trying to catch the lead rider actually PASS her as she is marking a point.
DONT spend half an hour wondering why in heck you CANT catch said lead rider whilst being chased by a green kawasaki 636.
DON'T think to yaself--"heck Ill give him a run for his money" on said 27 HP no fork oil bucking bronco.
Dont be embarresed when you realise NOONE is actually in front of you except for that dratted 636.
NEVER say--OHH that rain clouds gonna miss us.
And most of all NEVER EVER tell a ZX10 owner that ya thought his bike was a 636 --cos first chance he gets he'll shower ya in tyre rubber and road sand/grit
Yep Had a bllody good time.27 hp is all I can deal with --but shit it was more fun than a barrel full of monkeys

[Hinny]

So who was the knob end who decided to bail for the pub when it started to rain and overtake the turning traffic, headed for Paremoremo, on the right?!!!!! Far Canal. Had to overshoot the corner..takng the bunch with me. I know it was the right road choice to make but you could have used a little more tack to inform us that you had a direct line to the weather gods rather than trying to sweep us before you like some sort of two wheeled bulldozer.

[Chocky]

I had an absalute ball! :woohoo: First half of the ride was sublime, I gave the old girl a real workout, had both ends sqirming but no pucker moments at all.
Second half........well.....ummmmm.....no comment
anyhooo that was my last ride for a while as I'm doing some work on the RF so I will see everybody next time I'm there :bye:

[forkoil]

Really enjoyed the ride, first half was great roads (until Peak which is license losing material), and decided to head home to fix daughters car from Dairy Flat and got the Noahs Ark treatment going over Albany Hill, then Carl showed up for the drag off contest in Albany but all lights green, revenge will have to wait, and detoured direct to pub, didnt pass go (and no $200), but was best choice seeing the rag dolls arrive from second half.
Thanks Dawn for good night (daughters car can wait!!)
Keith, you are riding well, tho license could be a slim grip, about time you moved up to a Suzy, your going well, and Neil, you too.

[skidMark]

Got sick of pulling people out of ditches. Then waiting around for 20 mins doing nothing with my tyres going cold. While they sorted thier shit and bitched about thier newb fuck up :rolleyes:

[Biggles08]

Well I may complain about riders on the ATNR some more from now on...ArcherWC seems to think he can buy my forgiveness with a simple beer...it will take at least a 6pack to buy me off buddy! And Rob bought me a beer for saving his license a couple of weeks back....thats gotta be at least worth a box...common! what are you boys thinking here!:rolleyes:

That plus the one I bought myself....had to wait a while to ride home.....gud harfterable, coonstanoon!:drinknsin

Couldn't make the last one, I was in a Helo off the west coast & we were testing the new door gun.:2guns:

Off to do the coro loop.

[Hinny]

Keith, you are riding well, tho license could be a slim grip,

What'ya mean? Not much over a hundred on the straights; same speed around the corners. All legal.

[Hinny]

Meant to tell ya dude--that bike of yours looked seriously mad max the other night with no fairings n stuff--

...from Mad Max to Candy-Ass Suzy slayer in one afternoon.

[Chocky]

Be carfull tomorrow ppl! chocky wont be there to scare away the coppers or the crash demons

[Cr1MiNaL]

Owww Thats mean!:crybaby: give the old girl a brake, she's 13 years old and has to put up with me twisting her tit every time we go out. Anyway she's not broken, she's just getting a new coat of paint and some rubber, She'll be back, all tarted up in a month or 3 :2thumbsup

They don't break down even going hard.

Yip. I used to be a dealer for Honda outboards. Fantastic engines. Everyone within the dealer network totally swears by them and backs the warranty.

Well Kim Newcombe did it, have a go Keith! :laugh:
So when Yamaha were bringing out the RD's, Suzuki the T250, X7 etc, Honda gave us the.....CD350...real, wrist snapping elbow cracking piece of machinery that one. Maybe all the edgier engineers went to the outboard division? :laugh:

I was going to mention what a milestone the CB750/4 was, but it was so rapidly eclipsed by Kawasaki (their 900's AND the various two-smoke triples) that there didn't seem to be any point. :buggerd:

Plan on a few more tonight.

There is NOTHING on Gods little green earth like the sight of 30 odd tailights in a row. Carving through some lovely west auckland twisties.
It bought a tear to me eye.
Best of all TEC arrived within 4 minutes of the lead bike at the half way point.
Special thanmks to the ride leader for the night and my er rego plate retriever oops :baby:

Ohh laugh of the night --A non KB pillion lady (atm) who literally burned right through her boots by resting em on the exhaust pipes instead of the pegs

That should have been worth a pint at the pub Frosty....

[Hinny]

They maybe good on the water but the Honda F1 cars really suck :Pokey::2thumbsup

Their return to racing has certainly not been that successful but then neither has any manufacturer who tried to build a car themselves, in the last twenty five years, with the sole exception of Ferrari. All other cars were built by those clever Poms. Similarly the Cart cars and WRC rally cars.
You cannot deny the success Honda enjoyed when they were last involved in F1 racing. Honda engines were considered the ticket to Grand Prix glory due to their power, reliability, and winning track record. Honda supplied its engines to six constructor champions, as well as five driver championships in a ten year period.
Their time may come again as a car constructor not just an engine supplier.
Remember their road cars used to have fantastic engines but really suck in the handling department. There is no argument they have sorted that. Witness James Toseland on a 600 trying to race a Civic Type R and getting toasted thru' the twisties.

Do you know my address Big Dog, I'll leave the garage open for you shall I ;)……LOL

back on topic though, it sounds like a good turn out was had this week for the ATNR :niceone: so I will maybe turn up again some time in the near future and be one more new face to throw all you regulars off :) in saying that I probably wont turn up at the pub though so you can call me a wanker all you like ;)

Confusion and misinformation flowing from the leaking forkseals again.
Pre not post pub drags.
Fairly ungracious to not admit that you were totally wasted by a 16 yr old Touring bike.
Third gear - jeez where's Ken? I actually thought he would have provided a bit of competition. Did he miss a gear...again, or was he just pulling my leg pretending to drag and watching me make an arse of myself?

3 questions
1) Whats the eng capacity of yr tourer? (cubes DO count for something)
2) How about over a longer distance (1/4 mile)
3) How did it go over the Whangamata hills Keith?
And of course you never need much encouragement to make an arse of yourself anyway :rolleyes: but I do concede that Soichiro would be proud you can get his modern day traction engine to scoot along the way you do :clap:

[gammaguy]

just a quick thanks for making me welcome on your TNR.I had a ball on the VFR,shame i had to go back to work afterwards!some of those corners tighten up a bit once you are half way round them dont they??:shit:hope to get back up here again soon and the next time ill try and have a beer with yaz.
next time any of you ppl feel like a ride and your'e in the Christchurch/Banks peninsula area,send me a PM ill gladly show you my twisty backyard.(or rent you a bike to get there on lol)

3 answers.
1) There's no replacement for displacement... Or is there?
2) How about from here to Wgtn. and back? 1/4 mile is a sprint. 1200kms is a ride. A ride I'm sure your one, brown eyed, arse would favour being on my Honda.
3) I went very well over the Whangamata hills.... in touring mode. Paeroa to Waihi was a little quicker..... Tex had filled with gas before you arrived.

Why thank you for the concession. It's a nice touring bike.

[El Dopa]

Is this ride on tomorrow night?

Either way, can someone in the know post up before the end of the night. I'm not going to be able to get on KB after this evening (i.e. before the ride).

Jeysus wek you lot talk shite--TNR bring it ohhhn --fucked clutch n all Ill be there

[FROSTY]

SOOO_-- what happened to you lot -I stayed with you as far as Kaukop and had to bail. Clutch wouldn't have lasted i think

[forkoil]

In brief:
SH16 - good, fading light,
Woodcocks, raining half way thru, spoiled it a bit, dried up towards end, Warkworth pub, not bad, stayed for 1
SH1 back to Albany - excellent, being in the bike 'train'
Bar Africa - noone there except for Warkworth stragglers, stayed for second one

Dunno about others but I'm finding the Peak Rd section a crazy, over testosteroned scramble, its always the same, before and after are good. Doesnt help I think when the rider group keeps changing week to week.
Contemplating giving up on the ride and joining the straight to pub brigade... (yeah I know Carl - HTFU)

[forkoil]

Speights Ale House, WTFIT (last two = Is That)

[Nagash]

The Speights Ale House is a bar/restaurant on Oteha Valley Road in the middle of Albany..

Known for really crap service, really crap food and cheap beer.

Speights no mates.

Does truckie still own that bar? Any one know.

I thought the ale house kicked everyone out in the first place....:mellow:

[Pumba]

Known for really crap service, really crap food and cheap beer.

Personally I have always found the food pretty good at all the ale houses I have been to around the country, an I dont think the beer is all that cheap either, just average prices for a pint.


I thought the ale house kicked everyone out in the first place....:mellow:

Ale House did not kick us out, the bar manager on a Thursday changed and we were no longer being looked after (free food, our own little room when it wasnt being used by paying functions, etc). Bar Africa started looking after us when we first arrived but now they are no better than what the Ale House were (just they seem to charge a little more for some things)

[NinjaNanna]

Why not try the NewBrew on William Pickering Drive???

Good beer and good atmosphere

yeah the new brew isnt bad. bit small, lack of parking, and no outside over though.

See ya'll at the speights this week.

Spare a thought for the other ladies on the ATNR who may not be as comfortable as I am with oggling lovely jobblies my friend...

Last I was there, the New Brew was full of wankers...

Or I could just stop in there for a quick umm...:tugger: and meet you at wherever else...?

[Mrs Busa Pete]

:shifty: I rest my case...

In short no

[ManDownUnder]

What about STARTING in Albany, doing the ride backwards, and ending up at Westgate instead then?

A bit of variety for the ride, and Miss ques isn't a bad bar... it'd be just as far out of the way for everyone I guess although it does affect logistics...

We might even ride with the sun to our backs!

Is the whole ATNR now moving to the Speights Ale house, or is it just the Busa Petes?


Hope that wasn't the night Ninja Nana was there with his mates.

No bikers at the time...which may have been part of the reason it was a very uninteresting night :yawn: :zzzz:

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Sorry folks but as i said before i have always had good serves and good food from speights ale house and so have a few others. So that is where a few of us are going up to you if you come or not.

So quiet I can't remember what he looks like...:innocent: :rofl:

I have the exact same problem.
Apart from not being well-mannered.
And you wouldn't be mistaken if you thought I was uninteresting. :crazy:

[more_fasterer]

:shifty: I rest my case...

Is there anything potencially worthy in the new Albany Shopping centre maybe?

Nope, it's the traditional Takapuna thursday nights for school kids and students, in a new venue. Thumbs down.


I dont think the beer is all that cheap either, just average prices for a pint.

I found the Speights ale house to be over-priced for bottled stuff.

The guy that runs Africa's a good sort, a quiet word in his ear would no doubt improve the situation.

We tried that. Westie, Pumba and myself were having a conversation about changing pubs a few months back, one of the elder bar staff overheard and seemed a bit bothered.

[westie]

[jrandom]

I highly advise not approaching angry bar girl. She is angry and dangerous.

You have been warned.

[Richard Mc F]

Harumph polite anouncement, some off us south orklanders are going to head northish on thursday, we will be doing the sh16/west coast/woodcock thing to Warkworth stoping at the bridge house establishment, so those roads will be congested by fat grumpy old men on slow boikes.......oh waite that is just me, the others are quite nice.

[BIGBOSSMAN]

[Jacko2]

Hmmm, are y'all thinking what I'm thinking?

Yup.............

[Mom]

You are not coming up here are you? :dodge:

[Pumba]

Or the Old Albany pub - topless night Thu nights innit?

When the ride first started it finished up at the Old Albany Pub, we stoped going there cause the kitchen shuts at 8.00pm - 8.30pm at the very latest and was generally closed by the time we got there, although topless night sounds like fun.

I won't attend this week, but will be next week.

[Swoop]

What about STARTING in Albany, doing the ride backwards, and ending up at Westgate instead then?
Good idea. The cops would have their traps all set facing the wrong way!

[Morcs]

Ill be at the speights from about 7:30. Getting new brakes fitted beforehand.

If its dry ill go home and get the leathers on and do my own ride.

[Maha]
