[Hinny]

So where are all the ride reports from last night?

[Jacko2]

You know what they say "What goes on tour, stays on..........."

[gunnyrob]

Only 5 of us (Must be a new series of survivor on or something. Steve from ChCh turned up on another R1200GS, (Last time he rode with us was the night before Max's clutch disatster) He must have given Max the shits as he cut out electrically just after I passed a car near Paintball. He started up straight away, so feck knows what happened. Otherwise, no problems at all.

[Qkchk]

Should be on the ride this week, if anyone is interested in tagging along.

[gammaguy]

Thanks guys for a great ride last night! Most excellent!

I wont be around for about a month. Gotta fly here, there, everybloody where. Will hopefully be back for another dose of fresh air on the 27th. Have fun, dont want to read reports of bins or gingavitus!

[vifferman]

I can hear a Tui ad comin on.............
I had a feeling you'd say that.
C'mon Dawn - I've been on 2 or three ATNRs; that's more than many other KBers. :confused:
I'm just a bit shy and dorky... :o

[Devil]

Heh, I wont be there for another few weeks. Tropical islands call.

[TOTO]

nice ride yesterday falks, fun was had by all I reacon :)

[jrandom]

Some of us have a job........

All together now:

"So do we, but thank you, Auntie Helen, for legislating four weeks off every year. We don't feel that anyone we're working for needs to actually make a profit, and so we're happy to fuck off to trackdays instead of contribute to the economy."

:2thumbsup

[jrandom]

how can you have withdrawals from going fast ive youve never been fast?

One of these days you're going to have to back your shit-talkin' up, sunshine, best you hope you don't get caught with your leathers around your ankles.

[Qkchk]

[arj127]

Careful on Green Road again people, fresh seal down there today

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Hay who is going to the pub tonight anyone

[gunnyrob]

Have a good ride folks, I'm prepping for a day at Taupo Track. See you next week as long a the beemer doesn't break down!

[dwnundabkr]

cheers for the ride 2nite good cobweb blow out good to see another bull rider out, no incidents apart from the vmax rider having a we skip around the corner after paintball:blink:

[westie]

Yep great ride tonight. Nice work out front Asresexkid.
Nice manouvres on the rea wheel too

[Xile]

Were you guys up at Matakana last night?
Saw a nice number of bikes parked outside Ruusty...;)

[dwnundabkr]

nope not us bro, we only go as far as Silverdale and the back roads are all good
cheers

[westie]

Think that was the honda riders club. Lots of leather and men etc

[Hinny]

Might miss the ride this week.
A visiting mate said he thought I had blown a seal.
I quickly wiped my mouth and said it was probably Mayonnaise as I had just eaten a salad sandwich.
He pointed to the oil on my fork tube.
He was right. I had blown a seal.
Got to find some time to get on to that.
Need to build my motorbike garage fast.

[Xile]

Those bikes were not gay..neither were the boys looking like :p

One too many wheelies Keith?

[Hinny]

Nah, I hit a pothole.

[westie]

Nah, I hit a pothole.

Tui ad

It looked good, the second wheelie.

[gunnyrob]

Have a good ride folks, I'm prepping for a day at Taupo Track. See you next week as long a the beemer doesn't break down!


Guess what? Biker Must Walk (Again) I can hear Hinny laughing from here.:weep:

Track day was friggin excellent, however I was giving the Big Beemer so much stick I too blew a seal on the rear diff. (It must have been when I scraped the footpeg & Centrestand....have you SEEN how high up they are on a GS????)

I got it "repaired" at Experience yesterday, & the weeping of diff oil is now a full on leak. The repair gets re-repaired on Friday.

I'll see you at the Pub for the wash-up, then it's silly season on the Base for the next month or so with the Cpls/Sgts piss-up, St Barbara's Day piss-up & the Big night out piss-up on consecutive thursdays

btw no welsh adventure riders coming over yet,ill keep you posted.

[Hinny]

Guess what? Biker Must Walk (Again) I can hear Hinny laughing from here.:weep:


I'm saddened that you would think I would laugh at your misfortune Rob.

Here's a thought ... Gammaguy may have worked on your bike before ... trying to perfect his diff. repair in his sleep trick.

[gammaguy]

gammaguy never saw it before in his life,honest:whistle:

[Xile]

so when do you guys are gonna start summer rides (aka up to warkworth ;)) again?
:rolleyes:

[Devil]

There was whole pile of piss-poor riding last night. Part of the reason why I took a diversion from the route so I wasn't associated with that crap.

It's just luck no-one was killed. Particularly in relation to overtaking bikes and cars entering blind corners!

[Devil]

Nope! :eek5:

[Littleman]

Lets just say Morcs, that one particular manoeuvre by a chap made your riding look like mine.

[Kiwi Graham]

There are concerns guy's n gal's to the ability of some of the riders attending the ATNR.
I know its everybodys choice as to how they ride but...... Some of you racer hero types :scooter: the head down, knee down mono wheeling gods that you are need to be aware that hot on your heals are some young guns or born agains that have the bike capable of sticking with you down the straights but come unstuck when they get to the corner. I'm not for a second saying slow down or take responsibility for others but what I'm suggesting is split the ride into two halves (Dawn Its your call I guess), how about the quick guys/gals go off first and give the ginga a run for his money and the rest take off a minute later. It would hopefully take the (peer) pressure of some of the others to 'keep up' otherwise I can just see someone coming a real cropper soon.

Am I wrong or is the purpose of the ATNR to get a group of bikers together for a ride and a social afterwards, Its not an elitist group. I know of a couple of people I have suggested come for a ride with us turn me down because they have either heard what goes on or have experienced it for themselves and been 'put off'.

Happy to get shot down in flames but would prefer some genuine discussion on what I consider to be a good night out that I dont whant spoiled.
I dont think :chase:

[Qkchk]

As I was not there last night, could someone possibly shine some light on the situation?

Did this have something to do with a Silver Daytona by any chance?

Nerp, but lets just say there were quite a few visits to the wrong side of the road by multiple people because of charging into corners thinking they're Rossi.

[westie]

Wow gutted I missed the show.
It would be nice to help others inability to ride to their own ability/speed. But then I may as well just take them pillion. I like riding, its fun.
There is a ride on wednesday for those who need Mentoring.

Its a nice thought and maybe some one could take the lead and take the "second" group

[Morcs]

Nerp, but lets just say there were quite a few visits to the wrong side of the road by multiple people because of charging into corners thinking they're Rossi.

I didnt see anything :(

The mega few wouldve shown them how to squid properly!

but saying that, I was getting my knee down and down the odd wheelie...
The ATNR is not a race. Its funny when random people turn up and think it is.

Another funny thing, when you have a 3 dudes on sportsbikes in formation that have slowed down to 100 to go down some particular straights - some very smart people dont think as to why and decide to overtake and barrel down the straights at full whack:Pokey: kinda stupid really.

NOT shooting flames, but how would you propose to split the group?

Wont the knobs that think they can corner but can't also be the same ones that think they belong in the first group anyway?

[Kiwi Graham]

I suppose finding candidates prepared to lead and tail end for each group from the masses at the briefing as we currently do, and the 1st group roles out first etc. I'll put my hand up and be happy to lead or tail end the second group........or the first for that matter :shit:

Yeah I thought of that too, I guess the answer is you can't but they might feel more comfortable being a quicker rider in the 2nd group rather than the accident waiting to happen in the first.

[ManDownUnder]

How about a radical innovation I came across a while back.. we could call the fast riders could challenge each other, go like bats out of hell, but do it together so the know they're not going to come across anyone of a radically different skill level (which obviously puts them ALL at risk).

We could call it a trackday (got a nice ring to it eh?). What do you think?

I reality - the group splits itself anyway if there's someone that wants to go haring off, and I'd be loathe to encourage it any more by formalising it. I've been on plenty of mixed rides (fast, medium and slow riders together) where everyone just filters into their respective spots - and I think it works well.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Well i would just like to say that i went for an amazing walk today from tindalls bay all the way along to Manly and to the end of stanmore bay beach's althought i had to hit the road back as the tide had come in to much. I didn't have any problems with anyone over taking me dangerously other than the dog. Mind you i got into trouble for that from some old biddy because it was after nine oclock bitch.:lol:

Wendy

As you where

:

Exactly. For the last while we've been doing quite all right. The last thing we need is Ginge getting justification for doing what he's doing. We do not need or want people getting in the shite due to going loopy, so we have to establish ground rules for the ride prior to departure.

Was there a briefing last night? Were the rules established? Ultimately, each has to take responsibility for their actions, but FFS, don't endanger others. that's why we have a bad rep people.:angry:

By the way, Mighty Max is fixed (again):rockon:

[The Stranger]

Yes, I was very clear.
Second person stops and points then races to the front again.
Whoever point most wins. Simple.
But some cunts cheated and didn't even wait for TEC.

it surely is up to the individuals if they want to follow someone into a corner at a speed they are uncomfortable with.the throttle works both ways.i dont blame the leaders,i blame the followers.

Did you get your knee down though?

[Pumba]

Same shit, different day. Hell we have 393 pages of this and that doesent even inckude the crap that has ended up in PD.

Nothing will change and we will see any one that wants to turn up on the ride or at the pub next week:beer:

No but i came close twice it was those slippery bloody rocks that got in the way. I will have to complain to the Rodney District council and get something done about it.

[racefactory]

Hi there all, are there often any encounters with police on these rides? Are they ever pulling you all over to check rego's etc?

[Littleman]

Oh God.....

[The Stranger]

Hi there all, are there often any encounters with police on these rides? Are they ever pulling you all over to check rego's etc?

Nah, mate, they know to stay well away from this ride.

[Pumba]

Hi there all, are there often any encounters with police on these rides? Are they ever pulling you all over to check rego's etc?

[Kiwi Graham]

Nah dude he pops in at the pub for a chat now <_<
With christmas coming I'm sure he will have a little something for the 'special' ones :laugh:

[racefactory]

i dont know why it was so funny? it seems like a good opportunity for the fucking revenue gathering scum that some of them are.

At least on the shore they'll pull over anybody who looks like they are out for a bit of fun..

also, what kind of turnout is it usually?

As you can see i have not the faintest idea...

so :Playnice:

[Jacko2]

Sorry dude,
Turn out on a dry day is about 20-30 bikes, more meet at the bar.
The ginger cop tends to hide in the bushes, pings you and then turns up at the bar with your ticket.
As mentioned a few pages back some riders go 'hard' and some take it easy others risk everything!
The brief is clear each night, one takes the lead, the second stops and points at each turn and pulls of after tail end charlie comes through, passes him and so it goes on until we get to the bar.
Meet at Shell westgate from 6:30, leave at 7pm, see you Thursday?

[racefactory]

Damn it i've got too many questions! Who the fuck is this 'ginga cop' i always hear about.. guess i'll find out...

So i'm taking it the pigs aren't really interested in it all?

I'll be bringing along some moar V4 powar to this ride next thursday :niceone:

[Morcs]

HEHEHE It wasn't really funny, the turnout is usually liberally laced with fuckwits on 600's who have a fixation on male red head cops.

and you are?

[Chocky]

:corn: poor guy doesnt know what he has got himself in for :corn:

[gammaguy]

erm...is MEGA FEW an oxymoron.

or is that oxymormon:shutup:

[westie]

Mega few has nothing to do with mormon few. Apart from bing bikers and into wheelies etc.

[vifferman]

Hi there all, are there often any encounters with police on these rides? Are they ever pulling you all over to check rego's etc?
When I went to get my WOF yesterday, I was told that there are two cops who patrol the SH16 who are having a competition to see who can issue the most tickets. It was also said that there is a white Transit van with roof racks on being used by the cops as a radar vehicle, and a couple of cops a few km either side of it dish out the tickets.

This is all hearsay, of course, but perhaps there's no smoke without fire...

[Morcs]

Hi there all, are there often any encounters with police on these rides? Are they ever pulling you all over to check rego's etc?

Erm why are you asking that on a public forum.

If you have a license, rego wof etc.. you would have nothing to worry about, hence wouldnt ask the question.

So its obvious to our police friends reading this thread, that you dont have a wof or rego and are intending to come on the ride.

duh.

[westie]

I have an unregistered bike can I come? Oh and no licence:Police:

[gammaguy]

I just wanted to know if there are often police encounters or not. It is easy to speed on a motorcycle, especially with a group of other motorcyclists around you... we all know that. I personally don't like getting ticketed. I also personally don't believe the police have so much spare time as to read Kiwibiker ATNR discussion, that is just too pathetic. I do not think it is unreasonable to ask that on a public forum.

You had better believe cops read this thread and target the ATNR [unfortunatley]. I think the record still stands at 6 licence losses in one night.

Still a good social event, but not an ideal opportunity to tear around. Go on the ride-cruise-have a beer, and enjoy;)

[westie]

I just wanted to know if there are often police encounters or not. It is easy to speed on a motorcycle, especially with a group of other motorcyclists around you... we all know that. I personally don't like getting ticketed. I also personally don't believe the police have so much spare time as to read Kiwibiker ATNR discussion, that is just too pathetic. I do not think it is unreasonable to ask that on a public forum.

I got ticketed by an officer for having my headlights on high beam.
He then rattled off a whole load of stuff from this thread. Hence the gingaa thread.

COS HE'S Gingaa the cop.

Come along don't do anything illegal;) and you'll have fun without po po

SPB is on the money.

If you intend to go rip-roaring around and acting like a dick on a bike, there is a good chance Mr:Police: will be around the next corner with his anal probe all lubed up waiting.

If you can show some self-control and can enjoy a "social" (Note: Not Antisocial behaviour) get-together / ride, then you will be fine.

My point exactly: If your'e going to ride like twats you'll get whats coming to ya. We all want to get to the bar in one piece and have a nice evening talking shit etc, none of us wants to sweep up the mess of an over exuberant hoon :no:

yeah but from what i have heard, the thursday night rides are doing speeds that equal loss of license. So how fast do you people actually ride?

[Qkchk]

yeah but from what i have heard, the thursday night rides are doing speeds that equal loss of license. So how fast do you people actually ride?

It isnt rocket science.

(When I'm there - not sure how it runs when Im not??)
1. I conduct a pre-ride briefing.
2. I warn people of their speed every briefing (It would be interesting how many time Ive done it over the 3 years) and how many have lost their licences. Speed at your own risk and dont come crying if you lose it!
3. I explain how the pointer systems work and why we use them.
4. I point out who is leading and who is tail end charlie so there is no confusion.

So it is entirely up to the induvidual if they shall wish to speed (140kph+). I am comfortable to ride between 100-120kph (not just on the straights either!) and enjoy myself. Any twat with a wrist can go fast on the straights but when they get into the corners.....its a different story. I have been conducting these rides for over 3 years now and I have yet to get a ticket.
Go figure.

If you want to enjoy yourself without losing your licence, tag on behind me.

[R6_kid]

Generally as fast as they feel, but knowing that the cops are around the lead doesn't usually hit 'licence losing' speed.

At the end of the day it's actually really simple, if you dont want to speed then don't. A lot of the corners we go through are quite enjoyable at the speed limit, some are 'more fun' a little bit over... but it's your decision as to how you ride. There will be a pointer staying on the corners where you need to turn off, and they *should* be staying there until the tail end charlie comes through.

It's a lot more tame than it used to be back in 2005/2006 where it was quite literally 'win or bin' for a number of people that participated.

I haven't witnessed any ego's shining through with peoples riding lately, 99% of the time it is just people enjoying an evening ride through some twisty roads after a shit week at work/uni/on the dole.

Hey to put this into perspective, PeteJW on his Virago 250 always worries about coming along and getting left behind as it completely tops out at 130Kph. But last night he was a long way from the tail end charlie and even had to do duty at the corner once (Meaning he was second rider behind the lead).

You go as hard as you like, but there's lots of fun to be had without loosing license, skin or bike.

Top ride and good turn out last night.

I brought her out to give the 600 hoolies the learn but Qkchk gave me 'the look' :spanking:
so I pushed the group all the way to Albany instead :laugh:

[OutForADuck]

Yeah, I'm sure you would have given them a good learning... but then better to be alive and without the fear of Qkchk bearing down :blink:

Mind you the shower of sparks from the left handers probably would have kept everyone at bay!!! :shutup:

He said he was riding slow because his visor kept fogging up!

You're young and due to license restrictions on a 250, fortunately.
No you can't keep up with the 600 and litre bikes, no matter how much you would like to think you can.
Making dickhead passing manouvres through the pack when it's just cruising isn't going to prove your manhood.
Your balls aren't any larger because you finished near the front by overtaking on the left through a 50k area. You may have noticed things getting a little uncomfortable, think about why, take clue.
Sure people notice that you finish near the front, but for all the wrong reasons. By all means show us your awesome skills - but not your stupidity.

So I guess you ran into the guy I was talking about a couple of weeks ago...

[aewilliam]

Had a mate with ye olde fxr150 who gave the 2fiddys and 4hundys a good run. by nailing corners, not the straights. Aforementioned 2fiddy-er should drop a few cc to see if he can do the same.

I was perplexed/disappointed to see a BIIIIG bike passing on the left on a single lane though. Or is that kinda thing expected/accepted on the (W)ATNR.

All in all good ride though...esp the first half:2thumbsup
Excepting the oooh-twisty-one-way-road-hoooly-f*ck-its-not-road :eek5:

thanks heaps guys!

[R6_kid]

So I guess you ran into the guy I was talking about a couple of weeks ago...

He should consider himself lucky so far.

Showing up in full leathers with long white socks and 'cool' shoes looks stupid for a start.

Then there is the passing that Noel mentioned. A couple of other things he did lead to no less that 5 riders wanting to 'put him in his place' when we stopped at Diary Flat - luckily qkchk did the talking and all was fine afterwards.

There's no doubt he's 'fast', but he's doing it where 'it doesnt count', and to be honest I dont think there was anyone that was impressed (as in WOW that was awesome) with the way he was riding.

pot-kettle-black, sure, but better to tell him to pull his head in now, than to have to read another RIP thread and be saying 'told ya so'

[Qkchk]

I never saw anyone try and ride an old style ninja 250 like a dick, all of a sudden, because it 'looks' more like a sports bike, people think it actually is, and try to ride with the proper sportsbikes, and fail.

Common courtesy and NOT endangering others is generally expected. That said, everyone makes a mistake now and then or does something that upon reflection they perhaps shouldn't have done.

No reason why you can't raise it with the rider at the next stop either, most people are receptive to constructive criticism when approached on the quiet and will readily acknowledge and error of judgement.

The issue raised in this recent series of posts is not however about an isolated incident and could well lead to endangering others, not to mention himself.
Though in my view, his well being is his choice and it's not my place to tell others how they are to live (or not) their lives, provided they don't endanger others.

[racefactory]

Don't understand what the fuss about 250's is? It's not like it's 180kph here...... there's no reason why a 250 cbr or zxr couldn't keep up right? if you've got some decent tyres on you can reel the big boys in on the turns and under braking- that's if you somehow can't keep up on the straights?

It's not a race track so why can't a 250 keep up?

Or are we talking GN250's here??

Are you talking new or old Ninja 250's? Agreed the new ones are a bit pansy along with the hyoshits- can't really call it a sports bike... agreed they'd take some real wide open throttle to keep up with big boys but those 90's zxr's are good machines and have the turning and braking alright, that's for sure. And it's not like the ride is faster than 150kph, so why couldn't it keep up if the rider so much as knows where the throttle is?

Where are you drawing the line here?

Sweet as Stranger... been on a few other group rides and wasn't expecting that, and stuff like staggered formation didnt seem to be evident.

Props to TEC/Silver&Flamed Ninja 250 (Peter?).
From what i saw (or didnt see...) he rode his own ride, not wringing the tits off the 2fiddy, and finished the ride (well, until Caltex Dairy Flat...where I left).

And to the two marked plod mobiles that left us alone

:shit:

:sweatdrop:

:calm:

[vifferman]

Sweet as Stranger... been on a few other group rides and wasn't expecting that, and stuff like staggered formation didnt seem to be evident.
Staggered formation is only applicable/suitable for slow rides, or straightish wide roads (e.g., like in motorway processions). Once you get in the twisties, or narrowish country roads, then single lane spread out is more sensible.

[The Stranger]

It's not a race track so why can't a 250 keep up?



Sure, he's welcome to keep up.

But stop taking unnecessary risks, pissing people off and potentially endangering others to do so. If that is the only way he can keep up, he's going to come unstuck (one way or another), and as you may have read he came close to it last night.

[The Stranger]

Staggered formation is only applicable/suitable for slow rides, or straightish wide roads (e.g., like in motorway processions). Once you get in the twisties, or narrowish country roads, then single lane spread out is more sensible.

+1
Too many focus on staggered formation to the exclusion of the number 1 rule when riding - ride your own ride. How the do you do that when you are in a set formation?

Cornering - you set up from the correct entry point regardless of your formation.
Visibility - you can generally be seen better if you are in the RH wheel track and generally have a better view of the road also.
Debris, pot holes, rough seal and tar bleed etc are usually more prevalent in the Lh wheel track.

Fuck it I ride my ride in my space. Treat me as a hazard and give me my space.

If that plate resembles the old school style (big and square like a waka paddle) then there is a good chance it is...

I agree...

But to me it felt like most of that ride wasn't very twisty...and when we got bunched up, behind i had my tail followed (and seemed to be their tail was followed too - yes i do check behind quite a bit...), and ahead i could see people all over the lane =/

DEFINTILEY ride your own ride and in your own space, but when there isnt (or doesnt seem to be...) the space or time (eg when bunched up, in 50/60/80kmh zones), some formation would have been...good? maybe i'm just a prude and overly cautious...

Again, my first time on the West ATNR, so wasnt too sure what to expect.

It's not a training ride and Dawn's not their mummy. It's not up to her to tell people how they should/must ride.
As I say, we should all be treating each other as a hazard.

If the guy behind is too close for my comfort and I don't feel like nailing it I simply pull over and/or wave them past, easy really. Sure I am likely to have a word with them at the next stop and politely request they desist.
DON"T LET SOMEONE ELSE DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.
I waved the XT past me last night prior to some twisties, I knew that if he wanted to he would be quicker than me and I didn't want to hold him up or have him up my arse.

Consider the reasons for formation and would being in any sort of formation have alleviated the situation you describe? Sure you may have had additional room on the straight, but when the guy in front pulls into your line to set up for the corner all of a sudden your insurance policy (i.e. space) is gone anyway at the point you are most likely to need it. Too close is too close whether in formation or not.

[R6_kid]

It's not a race track so why can't a 250 keep up?

Or are we talking GN250's here??

You've missed the point, and then agreed with the arguement we're having. There is no problem with '250's keeping up - i was on a 660cc single with 45hp - not a lot more than the 250's and i had no trouble sticking in there.

The problem with this particular rider was that he was 'keeping up' with the front runners at all costs. Like you said it wasn't on a race track, but he was doing his best to catchup to the front after being a back marker - which is a hard task on a 250.

To be honest i'd like to see the guy go round a track, seems like he could be a decent rider if he was focussed in the right direction. He'll need to get some boots first though!

I developed an embarrassing medical condition this week.
I went to see the woman who, with her sister, owns the Pharmacy up the road.
I told her I had an erection. That I had had it for 2 weeks and it wouldn't go away no matter what I did. I had been with lots of women, I had abused myself, ridden my Honda, thought terrible thoughts etc. and still it stayed up.
I asked her what she could give me for it.
She studied me for a while and then said she would just go and consult with her sister.
When she came back she said she had talked it over with her sister and they could offer me 20% of the equity of the business and 25% of the profit.

RIDE and BBQ SIZZLE

Troy at Motoworld Powersports has been extremely generous and has offered to fire up the BBQ for those on the ATNR. As some will know, Troy has been on quite a few ATNR's as well as some of his mates.

All those past, present and willing - are welcome to come along for a ride and have some saussies.

Ride will be as per norm but the finishing point will be at Motoworld.



The first 2009 ATNR will be on the 8th January. So either turn up or put up til then!

[Qkchk]

Hey Morcs,

Did you want to invite Mr Ginga along to the BBQ? Thought I'd get you to ask him since you know him on a first-name basis. :dodge:

[Kiwi Graham]

sorry couldn't make it tonight, had to rescue my parents who had a catastophic brake faliure in there 3 month old campervan!!!!!!!!!
No impact involved, just two shook up olds.
Is there one next week?

[racefactory]

Phew! I made it just in time to meet you guys at the Shell- that was real close.... Unfortunately due to just getting there in the knick of time and having to depart straight after I couldn't meet many of you in person, so that will have to be next time.

That was a really fun ride! The little v4 was loving it. Wicked roads and excellent pace- it surprised me at first. Would definately like to become a regular. Good fun, good fun!

Last night next week-hope it's a good turn out and weather!

[Pumba]

[Motoworld Powersports]

Hey guys will be good to see you on Thursday. Hopefully the first 09 Vmax will be joining in on the ride as well as some customers who will also be first timers. Ill have a BBQ running on return. Not sure if you guys will need Beer but im willing to get some then just a donation in the bin will cover that. (I dont want to promote drink riding but see it no different if you were to go to the pub afterwards). I will also be having our end of year get together with some customers so sounds like a good night. Any you guys got pocketbikes i can see a track being made? Maybe Quickchick setting up her Basic skills course. Quickest thru without hitting wins?

[Qkchk]

Have had a chat with Troy regarding this..........

We will be setting up a course with a couple of exercises for some shits 'n giggles. Sounds like there could be a couple of prizes up for grabs.. :msn-wink:

[gunnyrob]

I'll be there Thurs, just to get into the groove for the ride to welly town on Friday.

The ride sucks though when theres anywhere near 50 bikes...

turns into a precession ride, forcing people to do dodgy overtaking maneouvers to get passed the line of 20 bikes all riding wheel to wheel...

Horseshit!...........It forces you to slow down or undergo dodgy overtaking maneuvers. No wonder ginga loves you bro':clap:

What's that Morcs? Did you say you wanted to lead this Thursday? :buggerd:

[Morcs]

Not saying have to go law breaking fast, but to have a decent (and safe) amount of space is impossible in a huge group.



:wari: :mega: Harden up pal :baby: stick up the front and youll be alright.:yes::niceone::bleh:
yeah but then as soon as become pointer, get stuck behind the traffic, and have to go half the speed through all the good corners :(


What's that Morcs? Did you say you wanted to lead this Thursday? :buggerd:

we have a solution ladies and gentlemen!

[Qkchk]

Weather is looks promising for this Thursday. Showers clearing...... :woohoo:

Hopefully Troy will put some of his awesome collection of bikes on show including:


A nice selection of 250 2-strokers (NSR, TZR and RS)
A couple of RZ500's
One Mint RC30 (VFR750)
Extremely tidy RZ250
Cute little NSR80


Shame the NR750 went to its new owner..... :bye: However it sounds like a 2009 Vmax will be on the ride. :rockon:

[dwnundabkr]

[Morcs]

No worries.

Anyone wanting to go faster can overtake me and wait at the next intersection. Not like we are doing stupid speeds anyway.

Shall I seriously Invite our friend to the bbq? :Police:

Have a good ride and big ups to Troy for puting on the shin dig down at the shop, shame I cant be there might have been a good chane to score a set of tyres out of the parts dept while no body was looking:shifty: or at least get a good deal, but alas I have got my bosses piss to get shit faced on and I dont have to ride home:2thumbsup

See ya all in the new year.

Personally Id love chris to come, even better if he's off duty, he can have a beer, and chat to us and see we are just normal people, having a good time, not terrorists/criminals etc..

but of course I dont want to upset anyone... so whats the vote?

[Devil]

The KTM has decided to stop working so I'm without a bike at the moment :(

Me or my bikes?

You can ride either one. That way it makes it far easier for me to choose which one to ride...

The DRZ is a good bit of fun :)

KTM all good now? Saw you blating past Motoworld as I was coming out....

ive always maintained that I would actually love to sit down with said officer over a beer, without the cop and 'criminal' roleplay going on.

Dont worry, I shant bother. :niceone:

Now that's a shame as pulling down those cop and criminal roleplaying thingys would probably do us all a lot of good!!!

Personally I'd like to buy the guy a beer and get him onto a person to person level. Its so easy to condem the "them" but alot harder once you see the white of their smiles.

The cop's are not your freind.

The vast majority care not what any member of the general public has to say. They exist to ticket you and arrest you, not to have a cosy chat.

Fuck sake wise up people!

[Devil]

KTM all good now? Saw you blating past Motoworld as I was coming out....

Were you in the shop? heh I was round the back picking it up. It is all happy again. Only problem is they couldn't find out what was wrong so reset the ecu and it's all happy again.

I should be there tonight.

Mmm. Wonder who you would be turning to for some friendly help in the event of a misfortune. Or would you be turning them away because they only exist to ........etc

If he comes and he see's we are not a bunch of baby eating morcrons (sorry mate) it may improve things for the ATNR.

Morcs your a brave man coming out like that :Oops: I know a few guys 'in the big house' who would like to catch up when they are released next year :buggerd:
