ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[racefactory]

I say invite him. It seems like a wise move to me. Im sure he's just a normal person like we are in the end. Like you said, he probably just needs to see that we are...

[SixPackBack]

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:

You blokes live in a vacuum..........regardless of how ginga perceives us when having social time, do you think for one minute that will stop him ticketing?

Get real FFS

[Hinny]

Me or my bikes?

You can ride either one. :)

So this is what buying an Honda does to you?

Never close your mind off to the possibility of change for the better.

I mean, after all, you and I are going to sit down over a beer one day soon.

[Qkchk]

Just to re-cap on whats happening tonight.......



Last ride for the Year

Ride departing Westgate at 7pm and finishing up at Motoworld Powersports (3 Saturn Place in Albany) for a BBQ and a few games....Everyone Past, present and just curious welcome.


There will be a group leaving Motoworld at 6.30pm to meet up at Westgate.

[Xile]

Will have a thought for you guys, sorry i can't make it..
have fun!! :banana:

[Motoworld Powersports]

A few chopper riders are coming tonight, They are my customers so please be easy on them.:2guns:

[Devil]

So this is what buying an Honda does to you?

Bahaha. Just noticed that!

All good for tonight! Bike is all happy! Now just need to figure out how I can be at two BBQ's at the same time!

Maybe you should reverse that statement? and she how it applies?

We choose to speed he does his job.... but that doesn't mean we have to perceive each other as arseholes??

[chaos rider]

see you at westgate

[racefactory]

exactly.

see you all there.

there will be 4 NC30's tonight! Moar V4 power :)

[Hinny]

I might bring my V power also.

[Qkchk]

[NinjaNanna]

Staff Christmas party tonight - Damn I'd rather be on the ATNR

[racefactory]

Please do!!! The ride needs moar v4 power :2thumbsup

[racefactory]

why was the ride so much shorter? Was it to fit in with the bbq?

[westie]

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!

I agree. But one of the "cops" owned me up the river head highway on a tight corner tonight.
much respect:niceone:

[westie]

why was the ride so much shorter? Was it to fit in with the bbq?

I think it was just faster. Or you didnt come on the twisty ride after dairy frat and went straight to the shop.

[gammaguy]

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:

at last,some real bikes...shame im not gonna be there:doh:

[motorbyclist]

that was an rc45, not an rc30 :spanking:

great to see a good turn out of NC30s and my NC35 :D

[kunoichi]

Hey guys! Big ups for the ride tonight! It was my first group ride and had a wicked time.
And Kudos to Peter who pulled the wheelie at the intersection. Great wheelie, just gota work on the landing. :p
See you on the road. :D

[Qkkid]

Great night fun by all who attended, just got rid of the last ratbag:hug::whistle:
Well done Troy from Yamaha World for putting on a great shinga ding:yes:
Will have to do this again next year;)

Hay hope you have a good flight. Have a great christmas and new year we will have a drink for at this end of the world for.

[SixPackBack]

Great night..........appears the ATNR has shed its GP status:cool:

[gunnyrob]

Have a great Christmoose people, Good to see y'all again, I'm off for a quick circuit of the South Island. See you next year safe & sound

[OutForADuck]

Hey guys,

The ATNR gets bagged from time to time and although I am sure those that put it all together get that they are appreciated, I for one would like to put it on record.

From QkChk to Morcs to Stranger and through to GunnyRob, KiwiGraham to name just a few that contribute their time and passion each week.

I hope you guys get the Karma returned to you over Christmas and a few people putting hands on your backs for a job well done.

I don't know too many people here and have probably missed a whole bunch that deserve full Kudos.... perhaps others can help me out, because there are lots that make this a great ride. Frosty for a start for pulling so many out of ditches and others for just providing entertainment pulling wheelies!!!

:first: Thanks guys... your time efforts and smiles are fully appreciated. :first:

I had a fun time last night, but then I do every ATNR. Have a great Christmas all!!!!

[Qkchk]

Well done people. Only the one dropped bike (who would of thought a Ninja 250R could wheelie?) with minimal damage.... Otherwise a well behaved pack of riders. 3/4 of the 40+ bikes were ATNR newbies.

Big ups to Troy and the boys at Motoworld in Albany. Put on a good feed (mmm cheesy sausage, dont be filty minded and some steaks) and eyecandy on display (yummy RC45). Some of the KB guys gave us a bit of entertainment, slow racing scooters and even at one stage a R6 vs 3 scooters. Big ups to Chris who borrowed a certain 'Busa and left a lasting reminder out the front of the shop. (For those who buggered off early - there was another ring joined to the first)

It sounds like Troy is keen to have another BBQ early next year - so watch this space!


1,2,3. Out the front of the shop
4. Eye Candy - RVF750 (RC45) with only 2000kms. Sorry has been sold!
5. Troy doin kitchen bitch duty

[classic zed]

Sorry to have missed the BBQ by the time we had Jason's KTM sorted we got back there and everyone had gone:confused:

Nothing too serious on the KTM just a battery, seems its fallen apart somewhere inside so a new one today will cure the problem.

Good to get the old girl out and stretch her legs again I had forgotten how much work (and fun) the twisties are on a 3 ton truck:doh:


Great ride though and I will attend more in the new year:2thumbsup

oh yeah, and a Merry Christmas to everyone

[Qkchk]

Was good to see you come along Tim, shame I didnt get the chance to say 'ello. Trust the son in law to ruin your ride, he bloody owes you one for missing out on the BBQ!

[Kiwi Graham]

Brilliant evening, great to see so many first timers, hope to see you at the ATNR next year,

Troy your a legend mate thanks heaps for the sausi sizzle and if the guy backs out of the RC45 deal that babies mine!!!! :drool::love: give me a call :msn-wink:

See ya all next year :apint:

[Qkchk]

I must admit that when Troy parked the RC45 next to my RC46 earlier in the afternoon, I was somewhat disappointed they didn't mate......... :laugh:

Awesome evening guys. Good to see so many bikes out just enjoying the social ride, what the ATNR for first organised for I understand. Great way to finish the year and looking forward to Jan. Big thanks to all that put in there time in organising the rides.

See you all next year

[vifferman]

I must admit that when Troy parked the RC45 next to my RC46 earlier in the afternoon, I was somewhat disappointed they didn't mate......... :laugh:
It's because your RC46 isn't a real one: no gear-driven cams, too fat. :Pokey:

Merry Xmas all.

He did get me a burger at Wendy's so it wasnt all lost but Id been hanging out for the BBQ all day, I even finished early for once and still had to wait for him :doh:

Weather is perfect for a ride tonight. It will be VERY warm up at Westgate with an expected overnight temp of 18! Dress light and leave those jacket inserts at home.

Meeting up at Westgate at 6.30 leaving at 7pm. Please make sure you have a full tank of gas BEFORE we head out for the ride. Tinted visors / sunglasses are a go as we will be getting a bit of sunstrike in the first 10kms of the ride. It doesnt get dark till after 9pm.

Sorry I didnt stop of at the pub, got hit on the foot by an iron bar!!!!! flicked up by the dude on the orange ZX6 5-6k's outside Albany. Big toe going black and throbbing like a c*#t thank god I was wearing bike boots! On my hols next week so catch up the week after.

Getting injured at the start of your holiday is a bitch. Still it could have been a lot worse.
Bet it gave you a helluva surprise.
Good luck for a speedy revovery.

Gee Graham, thats a bit flukey eh? Must be a Hells Angel out there missing his iron bar off his bike? :eek:



Real nice ride guys ' n gals. By the time I got to Albany I was ready to turn around and head up to Wellsford. The ride had great mojo!

Pretty well behaved lot last night, just a couple of things to point out:

1. If you have max forward momentum and then realise the turn off is just in front of you, turn only if you can do so safely. If you have 30 bikes up your bum it pays to carry on up the road and then turn around..... :whistle:

2. One particular biker has 9 lives. After poppin the wheel up, this rider managed to put it back down just as a :Police car pulled out of a road just ahead of him. No doubt one he had a 'poo poo' moment and would have been well behaved sitting behind Mr.:Police til they parted company.

3. If you decide to reverse your bike into a parking space up against the kerb, please watch what is going on around you, as you may have stolen someones spot.

That is all.

[OutForADuck]

Damn, KiwiGraham!! that is a flute hit.
Hope it doesn't impact your time up north mate.

Fun ride last night, good well behaved ride, with just enough hooliganny (is that a word?) Just ask Westie :blink:

[vifferman]

Ha! no more 9 lives for me used em all up this arvo. Did a nice burn out to farewell my captives tho.

That turn off is a bit of a nasty one. Once over the brow of the hill before it, the following bikes cannot see you. Bit of a stuff up sorry.

If you had enough moola (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/moolah), you could just buy some gas, or even pay someone to do it.

I suspect only Honda riders may be interested in that.
The others would probably prefer you kept it in your pants.

[SixPackBack]

That's the same excuse you used when Pumba and I stuck to your tail all the way up SH16. :Pokey:

One patch of chip seal near the start (SH16 end) was quite smooth and I should imagine bad in the heat, but it was fine last night.
Didn't notice any road works (that would give a problem) on Old North, Peak or 16.
No diesel on Old North either thanks.

[The Stranger]

Why don't you make a special request and see if we can get the Red Commodore Mufti and the Silver Hyundia to ride lead and Tail End Charlie? :whistle:

Just saw a blue mufti Commodore heading that way. Could of course be anywhere by tonight, but hey, may just pay to be wary of any just the same.

[Qkchk]

C u all at Westgate @ 1830.

Such a nice evening for a cruise.

[dwnundabkr]

[TOTO]

I find that the echo is sent backword tho, and I cant hear it so much. Different to the underbridges of spaghetti junction where the echo is all over the rider and keeps bouncing and comming back from the walls a lot longer and louder :D.

[vifferman]

I was thinking about coming along, but I'd already had a ride (and a fly), and was really hungry. Hope yiz all had a goodly time.

Went through twice last night, visor up, in 3rd and exited at about 140, yeah sounds brilliant. Saw a cop about 2 kms south of the holes. Had tea in Orewa, went back through the tunnels, cop was still parked up, got to the toll pay thingy and turned around. More noise in the tunnels, past the cop at 100kms. Stoped at the roundabout and txt Dawn, there were now two cops on the toll rd. Both heading north, same as me, legal speed was in order, one cop pulled over then stayed about 100mts behind me.
Novilty all gone now, they are just tunnels.

[Hinny]

Great ride though and I will attend more in the new year:2thumbsup


A friendly reminder...:yes:
To your son in law as well.

this sunday 22 feb

[Hinny]

I've been working outside in the sun and wind and getting pretty dehydrated.
I woke up last night with a headache and the wife getting all amorous.
I said " Not tonight dear, I have a headache"
She replied, " You've got a headache? ... Is it really bad? "
When I answered "Yes" to both questions, she jumped out of bed.
I was thinking what a good woman she is, getting up to get me some Disprins and a glass of water.
Well, she comes back with a broom. Starts prodding me in the back with the handle.
When I ask, "What are you doing?"
She replies, " Letting you know what it feels like when I have a headache".

[Mrs Busa Pete]

So is Dawn home and going to be on the ride tonight And will the other half make an apperance.

[Hinny]

Sorry I didnt stop of at the pub, got hit on the foot by an iron bar!!!!!

well I just saw the guy with the dominator on the southern motorway.
riding in the same manner.

I honesty dont see how going fast when everyone else is going slow (for good reason) is cool.

[gammaguy]

its like the riders of certain v twin machines who overtake traffic in suicidal places.

they know you wont follow so relatively speaking,they are faster than you,at least for a while

they know they would lose a fair contest:argh:

[Kiwi Graham]

So what's your excuse tonight?

Was in Sydney in the pissing rain, hope to be there for the next one. Foot all better now ;)

[dwnundabkr]

Good ride last night - except for the :girlfight:

Make sure you 'turkeys' keep your distance while riding AND overtaking. Even though you may feel you have left enough room, the chap you have just rubbed shoulders with may think otherwise.....

Wont be back till the 16th (back down to CHC) and don't want to read about shit happening that didn't need to happen!

Play it safe.

[Kiwi Graham]

Has anybody posted a handbag on trade-me?

Its hard to keep your distance when some fulla's only interested in wheelieing down the straights and then taking it easy on the corners, then some other fulla has the desire to stand on his seat, not much forward momentum there.

But anyways, the ride was good, enjoyed doing the entire R Road.

Think you'll find the pace was a little less than desired.
Hence the shenanigans etc.

[dwnundabkr]

how dare some fella do wheel stands, the Thursday nite ride is about being safe and careful :innocent:
bugga sounds like i missed something
waiting for some bits to arrive so i can be lawful again

[Qkchk]

Come on Dave, wheel stands are cool for sure, but slowing down for corners definately not!

thats why you passed me on a straight, then held me up :whistle:
what you may consider fast through corners, so of us consider slow, and when the ride is that pace, and people are bunched up, why bother? just do wheelies on the straights...

[tide]

glad to see the ATNR back to normal...:eek: was thinking everyone was getting soft :2guns: :chase:

[Chocky]

I was talking to a guy on the middlemore building site on thursday and he was saying he often goes out to the end of his drive to watch us go past (I'm not saying where he lives lol ) recon's he luvs it, gives him a buzz (it's that or the vodka) Just goes to show, not all MOP's are anti
