If he had a Beemer he wouldn't have fallen over.

[Qkchk]

Weather is looking v.promising for Thursday!

[Qkchk]

The sun is shining (finally) so why be mad to miss out the dry roads?

C u turkeys @ Westgate 6.30pm! Its way too nice outside to be stuck inside!

[NinjaNanna]

Hurrah at last some decent fuckin weather.

Consider this fair warning to all the ATNR Regulars, us fair weather rider's will be there in force.

But on the bright side I'm sure at least one of us will be too entusiastic and flush out MR :Police: for the rest of you

Now just one choice to make ZX900 with Radar Detector or ZR250 with 250 cc's of factory standard speed limiting????

See ya's there on one or the other.

[Qkchk]

Consider this fair warning to all the ATNR Regulars, us fair weather rider's will be there in force.:bleh: Its about time you got off the sofa.

Which ever one is working, hey we aint a fussy lot! :lol:

[NinjaNanna]

:bleh: Its about time you got off the sofa.

Yeah its been that long I might need on of your "Returning to Motorcycling / Refreshers"

[gunnyrob]

I'll be there too. Did a quick recce last night, be aware there is lots of mud on the road at paint ball corner.

[Pumba]

Now just one choice to make ZX900 with Radar Detector or ZR250 with 250 cc's of factory standard speed limiting????



My guess would be the one with a full tank of gas:shutup:

I cant be fucked riding tonight, see you at the pub.

[NinjaNanna]

My guess would be the one with a full tank of gas:shutup:

Maybe the full truth of it is that it didn't fall off the stand but got kicked off its stand when I realised I'd done it again.







No honest it fell.

[Pumba]

So, anyone riding tonight?

Not sure if I can be bothered, will make that decision closer to the time, but I need to eat and there is no food in the house, so I will a least be at the pub (creature of habit more than anything else)

[Qkchk]

If someone can convice me enough to go out for a ride, I will. Otherwise I'll be parked up on the lazyboy looking at the back of my eyelids....

[FROSTY]

OMG--some nasty buggger has left me a KTM super motard. and TOLD ME
to take it for a ride- gawd -wots a bloke to do?

[Pumba]

If someone can convice me enough to go out for a ride, I will.

Now I am home I cant even convince myself to put on all my riding gear and go for a ride :doh:

Packing......cold kiwi.......packing....warm stuff....must...pack....warm....stufff

[CB ARGH]

I went to the ride tonight. Wow, the guys are fast round the corners, but the CBR250RR kept up with them (even in the corners). Only trouble I had was sticking to the speed limit... and I mean, STICKING TO IT. Not even touching 60.1km/h or 100.1km/h haha. Long que of bikes behind me! Sorry! :msn-wink:

I'll be back next week, WATCH OUT!

[Hinny]

Went to the den of the beast with my Sth. Ilse trip buddies.
He put in an appearance, cruising past the pub a couple of times and then again just as we were leaving...shit.
Slow ride back and everyone had left the pub by the time we got there.
Cold Kiwi this morning and Met Service Road snowfall warning in my inbox.
Fortunately not for the Desert Road but looking at the maps it looks like it is going to be a tad chilly. Good job I'm tough!

[Kiwi Graham]

Good ride last night, dodging possums, cardboard boxs and splinters of wood!!! Road still quite muddy in places but good to be riding on dry (even if debris strewn) roads. Bring on the lighter evenings.

[OutForADuck]

Only the second ride I have been on but good to meet up with you guys. Played tail end charlie (riding two up) and the pace was nice and easy for the lass. Thanks to the guy who took the lead (sorry my memory for names is shockingly bad :doh:). See you next week I feel.

[Qkchk]

Next week will be the ATNR's 3rd Birthday!
(Gee, time flies by...)


There will be a special route organised for the ride finishing up with Dinner. I will not be posting details of the route for various reasons.

Meeting up at the usual spot and time.

This will be weather depending, if it looks dodgey I will make the final call Thursday afternoon.

[Pumba]

FFS!!

3 years already. I have been doing this shit for to long.

Weather is looking good on the long range forcast, but looking at the trend for the week I would put it at a 50/50 call.

So being an anervsery ride are we going for lost licences or most bins win:spanking:

Excellent ride last night!

No Bins

This is how the ATNR should be. Everyone arriving at the destination with no reports of stupid / dangerous / close shaves riding.

We all ended up at the Bridgehouse for dinner, after the usual fling though 'cocks rd. Hard road to ride @ night, couple of corners suddenly disappear on you :eek:

Thanks all who made it, the ATNR wouldnt be a ride without you. :first:

[forkoil]

Enjoyable nights ride, wcocks always dodgy at night, good to meet the mahas at bridge pub, cool returning en force down SH1. Yeah and the turnoff IS signed Kaipara Flats :rolleyes:

Got my new tyres to play with to. Much better in the wet and dirt! :D

[Pumba]

Much better in the wet and dirt! :D

You would have loved woodcocks, there was no shortage of dirt:sweatdrop

Good to see the only cop of the night going the other way, away from us and our route.

This happened to me the other day, not happy.
The latest scam in the area which is happening at the Westfield
St. Lukes shopping mall..
Two good looking 18+year old women come to your car as you are parking
your car; One starts wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, the other
comes to your window saying 'hi' while bending over with her breasts almost
coming out of her blouse,impossible not to look.
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say no and beg you for a
ride to the City.
You agree and tell them to sit in the back.
On the way they start having sex in the back seat.
Then one of them jumps to the front seat & starts to perform oral sex on
you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I was robbed last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
I couldn't find them Saturday or Sunday.

Be careful.

Wet weathers? The way its been going today I'm going to have wet leathers.

I'm trying to sort out a bike - should see you all soon.

EDIT: I have a choice of 2 bikes! I'm there with bells on (well Quasimoto leathers actually!)

[Qkchk]

Ok the ride is for tonight - how can we cancel with all of these out of towners? :lol:

Had a look at the rain radar, bits of scattered droplets all clearing away for tonight. In a nutshell, if its starts to rain it will only be for a few minutes otherwise its all good!


C u turkeys up at Westgate @ 6.30pm. Just got to decide which bike to bring.....

[Pumba]

Im not in the right frame of mind to ride, but seeing as ther is a few out of towners around a better make a showing at the pub

[R6_kid]

I'm f00ken tired, but i'll be at the pub.

[FROSTY]

FARK that was bloody slippery. Reckon I'da been better riding an ice bike for the first part of the ride

[riffer]

Thanks for putting on a challenging ride guys.

And many thanks to Frosty for supplying me with an ER-6N for the ride. That had to be an almost perfect bike for that ride.

I think if I had have been on the RF it would have gotten very hairy in places.

Wonderful to meet up with some of you guys and put the faces to names.

I hope to meet up with more of you on Saturday. :Punk:

[westie]

Good catching up with you slinky. And nice to meet you riffer.

That was a nice ride looking forward to the next one with scrubbed in tyres.

Well - for those that don't know.... I had an off... corner I know well, 45 kph right hander, slowing into and through it - back wheel locked up.

Replaying it over and over - I wouldn't change anything that I did... bit I'm nicely reminded of a maxim I was taught years ago... If you go into a corner too fast - you WILL fall off. No exceptions.

It was my bad. No one else, no excuses.

I'm ok - sore ribs RHS, a couple of purple fingers and the RF front and RHS fairings took a hit but it's not fatal (despite my drama queen antics afterwards). Probably financially a write off but who knows what I'll end up diong yet.

On the flip side of the story... I needed a reminder of how good people can be. Avoiding embarassment for those involved - just a very big thanks for the help from those involved - from TEC picking me up for the rest of the ride, to those involved in the pickup and recovery of my RF.

[gunnyrob]

No problemo my good man. A shame you binned it, but thank you for returning along the route to see whether I had rounded up our wayward cruiser friend. Thanks also to Morcs & co who were also coming to check on us after we were late appearing at the next intersection!

Glad you were happy on the back of the Big Beemer, thank goodness you're ok.

I must suggest that:


it's best to have a big bike do TEC due to oopsies like these
on a night ride, riders should take a light source
ensure the TEC has the leaders phone number before setting out
if the TEC does not appear at an intersection, chances are somethings gone tits.


Good to see the ATNR system works. All did well last night:Punk:

[FROSTY]

Ok now he's spoken up I have to tell a lil story.
"a person" shot home to pick up the trusty (or in this case quite sick) KB recovery van.
Found the bike basicly exactly where it was sposed to be and happily loaded it up.
Before "the crew" arrived he couldnt help noticing a rather distinctive imprint in the VERY soft mud and clay. Turning his lights back on and
YUP a perfect imprint of a MDU body.--
SO in a thousand years or so archeologists will be remembering this lil crash.

[The Stranger]

Well - for those that don't know.... I had an off... corner I know well, 45 kph right hander, slowing into and through it - back wheel locked up.



Another bloody noob giving the ATNR a bad reputation.





Salt anyone?

[OutForADuck]

Hey MDU, Glad the bruising wan't too bad. Was impressed to see you still make the pub, have a few laughs and find things to enjoy in the night.

There's nothing like a lay down in soft pastures on a wet night :-)

Nice to meet up with the rest of you guys and see you today I hope.

[Chocky]

Does this mean you might have some parts for sale??? or are you going to rebuild her????

[racefactory]

I'd really like to come along for the next one please!

Are there many small bikes that come along? NC30's and the like? What's the usual number for a turnout?

Cheers,

Todd.

Hi Todd,

The ATNR is open to all bikes (all sizes and types) just as long as you can do 100kph on the open road. It just spoils the Tail End Charlies (last rider who helps keep us in a group, in the right direction) ride if someone comes along and putts along at 80kph. Come over for a chat and tag along, if youre not happy with the ride you can always peel off. (Most come for the ride and have stayed - some for nearly 3 years... still cant get rid of them)

[Qkchk]

Daylight Savings starts this Sunday! (28th Sept - 2 weeks earlier now)


From next Thursday (2nd Oct), we will have an 'Adventure' option to the ATNR.

This option is recommend for Adventure / Trail / Motard style bikes or whoever wants to get some practice riding on gravel roads. This will be done at YOUR own risk. As gravel can be sometimes unpredictable (Just like the rest of the ride)

There will more info about the roads included in the usual Pre-Ride Briefing.

How the ride works:

Joins the ATNR group for part of the first section but will remain at the back of the pack
Follow the main bunch of 'Road' ATNR riders to a certain point in the ride
'Adventure' peels off onto some gravel roads
We meet back up at the usual halfway point
Carry on with part 2 of the ride as per normal


As the group turnout increases, I will look at alternative routes and if number get large, maybe an alternate night to the ATNR.

Who's keen? Morcs? Gunnyrob? The Stranger? Who else has gravel sliders out there?

Im in. I reckon we'd have at least 5 if its warm enough for Steve.

Hopefully will attract some other adventure riders that wouldnt do the normal ATNR.

[Hinny]

At my current work rate it'll be a year before mine is on the road... may remain off road only.

[Pumba]

At my current work rate it'll be a year before mine is on the road... may remain off road only.

We talking about the Pan?? What have you done to it now.

I really dont think that should go off road, last time it did on the ATNR didnt it take about 4 guys to get it back on the road :lol:

[Hinny]

Ha ha ha ha no I'm talking about my XL250.
I passed on the turbo'd 600. The guy selling that reckon it could peel the blocks off knobblies on sand. Now that bike could have been fun.

[Devil]

I'll be up for the gravel!

Hrm, was just eyeing up a DR-Z400E on bikepoint.. Hrm

[Morcs]

I'll be up for the gravel!

Hrm, was just eyeing up a DR-Z400E on bikepoint.. Hrm

Buy it.

Then give me the rims, and the carb.

[gunnyrob]

Yeah, bring on the gravel surfing

[Motardman]

Yep I'm up for the gravel rides......know of at least one other that will be too

[westie]

Ha ha ha ha no I'm talking about my XL250.
I passed on the turbo'd 600. The guy selling that reckon it could peel the blocks off knobblies on sand. Now that bike could have been fun.

You still want the carbs and single carb kit for that bike? Will bring tonight.

[ManDownUnder]

Does this mean you might have some parts for sale??? or are you going to rebuild her????

Wait and see. Probably rebuild - it's front and RHS plastics that got crunched. All else seems intact but she has a few kms on it - I might replace it with a lower mileage model etc.

What do you need - I have some spares in my shed anyway...! (Forks, seat... etc)

[Qkchk]

Its all good for tonight..........Ive got new set of Conti's on the bike that need a scrubbin! Thanks to Troy and the guys @ Motoworld for sorting me out. :niceone:

Have had a few enquires regarding tonights ride - So it sounds like we should have a really good turnout! This will be the last 'Official' Ride in the dark before Daylight Savings kicks in this Sunday.

Ive also heard rumours that we may have some 'Southern Goat-track' riders attending tonight as well......... :whistle:

[Morcs]

Awesome, id better get on the phone and invite the other guests :Police:

[Qkchk]

Awesome, id better get on the phone and invite the other guests :Police:

What? Has the GPS tracking device fallen off your bike already?

[Jacko2]

Good to see lotsa new faces (to me) tonite.
Lot warmer tonight too.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Good to see lotsa new faces (to me) tonite.
Lot warmer tonight too.

Hay and you didn't even come and say hello i turn around just as you where going through the door.

There where lots of new faces last night good to see more peeps getting out there but i guess you get that on the warmer nights.

[Devil]

Hopefully i'll make it next week. We'll see.
Work commitments. bah!

Yeah, sorry Pete's Boss. Was feeling a bit guilty so had to go.
Popped out for bread, only 3 hours late hehehe. :buggerd:
BAD JACKO!!!

[Kiwibloke]

Hey nice ride last nite guys, lots of fun all round! Be even better when i can see where im going too! Cant wait for summer!!!

[gunnyrob]

Hi Todd,

The ATNR is open to all bikes (all sizes and types) just as long as you can do 100kph on the open road. It just spoils the Tail End Charlies (last rider who helps keep us in a group, in the right direction) ride if someone comes along and putts along at 80kph. Come over for a chat and tag along, if youre not happy with the ride you can always peel off. (Most come for the ride and have stayed - some for nearly 3 years... still cant get rid of them)

Amen to this. Was Tail end charlie again, but this time had to sit at 60 kmh for a zx-1400. If you don't feel happy riding at night, please get your own confidence levels up before coming along to big ride nights as you will dick around lots of others. (We almost had search parties out for us). It was obvious that someone was way out of thier comfort zone big time.

[riffer]

Doesn't surprise me Gunnyrob.

Did you use the same roads as last week? How was the surface tonight?

I was off my game last week, considering I was on a road I'd never ridden before, having been up since 0300 that morning, and on a bike I'd never ridden before (an ER-6n - I normally ride an RF900 like MDU's - TOTALLY different animal) and it was one of Frosty's ones for sale to boot.

There's a number of blind crests on that road with some interesting corners immediately following - I'm not the world's best night rider due to dodgy eyes but didn't go too badly - at or slightly over the open road speed limit nearly all the way (being a good boy LOL) - and I've got to admit when you're on a bike you don't know and you end up doing a few front end slides on a downhill corner it tends to knock the old confidence a bit. I daresay a big kwakka would be a hell of a handful on that road.

I did notice a couple regulars blow past me - was that Morcs on the DRZ motard - I can't remember - and the guy on the streetfightered gixxer thou (damn I can't remember the names).

Hopefully I'll get an invite to come back again sometime. I'd love to try that road when visibility was a bit better...

[gunnyrob]

All are welcome back, especially now we have daylight saving in our favour & all rides from now should be in light allowing better road craft.

We get a lot of stick from those who observe the ATNR from afar without actually coming on the ride.

We don't want any "cock fights". We just want to have a good social ride. As Qckchk said, we do expect people to at least keep up to a reasonable speed at night (At 60kph we do muck people around)

As tail end charlie, I have to keep an eye on people at the back, but even so, I overtook the rider in question & tried to lead him through the corners & show him good lines.

Safety is the key:niceone:

[Chocky]

What do you need - I have some spares in my shed anyway...! (Forks, seat... etc)

well I would'nt mind the seat, mine has a few rips. also any plastics, in any condition as I can cut and paste (with the help of fiberglass).
I have a few ideas about modd'ing the rear end so shs's not so FAT.
So anything you have I may be interested in :yes:

[Swoop]

Hey Riffer, you stood up alright dude!! and when I was following MDU later in the night on that same ER-6n it was pretty obvious the lights weren't up to the job.. I passed MDU at one stage just to through some light on the situation, I wasn't happy following him into that mirky unknown :sweatdrop

[Qkchk]

The weather is shaping up for a great evening..........

There will be a briefing before the commencement of the ride (like usual) - all will be explained as to how this 'Adventure' option will work.

[ArcherWC]

well as I do my full test this afternoon, i "should" be there next week on a new bike :-)

[Kiwi Graham]

Looking forward to getting out for a ride tonight, been a few weeks and now we will be able to see where we are all wobbling of too!
Have heard a few of the ATNR routes have suffered a bit,being re-surfaced or waiting to be etc. See ya later.

P.S got a new bike to show the route to :love:

[motorbike]

Hmmmm, you are going to fit in real good round here

The fact that, that post was made on the 21st of December 2007 and there has clearly been rides since didnt make you wounder:laugh:

[motorbike]

how big is this ride how many ppl

[OutForADuck]

Varies greatly in size.... all different riders and skills... come along.. you'll have fun.

[Qkchk]

how big is this ride how many ppl

1. Read post number 1
2. On average we get between 5-15 when its raining in the middle of winter and get up to 60 bikes in the middle of summer. If Survivour and Shortland street aint on, we get 61 bikes.


Question for you. Can you ride 100kph on the open road?

[Qkchk]

Catch you guys @ Westgate!

Looking forward to implementing the new Adventure Option.....

[EJK]

Any 250s comming tonight? Since we got the extra hour of sunshine I may bright up my 150..

So if the weather decides to clear tomorrow, then the ATNR will be as per the norm... (if it does clear up)

[Hinny]

Going fishing for four days in the Ureweras then to the Mercs for two or three weeks so I won't see you guys for maybe a month.
Try to keep away from 868 while I'm gone.

Great ride tonight. Apart from missing the first bit:doh:
Oh and making new off road trails through a ditch between some signs and across a driveway back onto the road. Would've been all class if I was on an aprilia considering the sraight before hand....

[ArcherWC]

Havent done the ATNR for ages, thought since im all legal like now, that I would make an apperance. Was great to catch up with you all, but BY GOD what has happened to the ride!!!!!
ATNR used to be the hang out of hooligans and nutters out for a night race, last night even the ginger got bored and left us alone, im sure I nodded off at one stage.
Oh well mayby if I ever ride a Honda or a Harley I will join in again
See yas at the pub

Hi westie cheers
mate sorry but last week I was a thursday nite virgin and had no glue as to the
protocol of pulling over at intersections, i guessed it at about the third or fourth so i did a stint then if ya want to point things out i havnt done i am all ears and will contribute to a ride run, if i missed those instructions i accept any flak, but i am in for a ride like any one but if ya one give me shit take me aside and tell me no probs, look forward to the next ride see how many other people i can upset :confused:

Lol. I think i'm the reason you had to wait for ages at the point. Or TEC made the same mistake as me(turned wrong way at shell):pinch:

Its really important to find out how the ride is organised.
It gets confusing but its the first person behind the lead rider must stop at a turning point intersection. And that person normally gets pointed to stay at the intersection by the lead rider.
Better luck next time
