ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[p.dath]

I probably can't get to the 7pm leaving time now. Need to give the car a clean, as I'm just about to sell it. Might try and pop along to the pub.

[Qkchk]

Won't be out for a couple of weeks, got to go away on business (again)...

Might be back for the 24th? Need to check these new roads out at some stage...

[Morcs]

I'd say so...just the pub for me as I'm a mere n00b :eek:

Mate dont worry we'll wait for you at intersections ;)

who's out tonight???? Rain seems to have been and gone... guys.... come on... who's up for a ride?

[DMNTD]

... who's up for a bourbon?

But of course sir...:woohoo:

[p.dath]

I would like to have come along, but alas I have managed to get a contagious eye infection, so I'm in isolation till Monday. :(

Now I'm just trying to figure out if I need to do something to try and kill the bacteria that are probably in my helmet.

Yeah I'm keen

What starting time again?

[OutForADuck]

Leave at 7pm from Westgate servo... usually congregate from around 6:30.

[mnkyboy]

Oooooh a congregation

Does that mean it's religious

And by religious I mean crackers and booze

[Kiwi Graham]

Not tonight, AMCC stuff instead. Looking forward to those lighter evenings though :yes:

[R6_kid]

I will be there tonight. New bike, clean licence - sounds like a date with Ginga is on the cards :finger:

[Pumba]

And by religious I mean crackers and booze

Dont think I have ever seen any crackers, so no I dont think it is.

[Morcs]

Ill be out next week. Been working on the fazer. should be tiptop ready for summer now :)

[mnkyboy]

Hopefully next week will be a bit quicker

Would've been a real dissapointment for ginga last thursday

[Hinny]

Finally got back from the Cold Kiwi, Yay! Nothing like making a good time last.
Might have to get down there again soon as the snow is about ready to be Turoa fantastic.
Best mountain in the world for Spring skiing. :Punk:

Youre welcome to ride quicker.

Or are you scared?

[mnkyboy]

Youre welcome to ride quicker.

Or are you scared?

No not scared, I'm by no means a balls to the wall rider.

Just being courteous to the fellow riders and their proclivity to do snails pace

[DMNTD]

Or are you scared?

I am... :eek:

Speed doesn't kill... its the sudden stop at the end that does the damage :eek:

not exactly a laughing matter...:no:

[mnkyboy]

not exactly a laughing matter...:no:

he's right though

150km/h highside into a big mud hole will prob mean dirty leathers

[The Stranger]

not exactly a laughing matter...:no:

Honestly, neither are you - but we still do.

[Morcs]

not exactly a laughing matter...:no:

so 180 in a 50 to prove you are 'fast' is a laughing matter?

[Swoop]

I wasn't planning on coming, but even if I was, the VFR's forks are too far from the rest of it (about 374km away).
Easily sorted!

I'm on my learners, but I'm keen just to get out and do some riding is it worth tagging along to this? I'm happy to go at my own pace, I'm quite confident just not lightning fast on my little CB250rs

I think you need to be capable of doing the speed limit which on the open road is 100 km/h however on a learners license you are not supposed to go faster than 70 km/h.

I think in the past, some riders have been pulled over by the police for various infractions including not adhering to learner license conditions. The risk is yours.

I have not been on the ATNR for quite a while however I am hoping to tag along this evening. If the route is the old usual one - then I know where to go so I'd be happy to cruise along and you can follow me. Unfortunately, if the route is a different one then you will be dependent upon the TEC (Tail End Charlie) waiting for you to catch up at various intersections etc.

The old route can be quite twisty in sections and if you are not confident riding at night then I would suggest avoiding this ride until daylight savings starts as many sections of the road have no street lighting at all.

Just my two bits worth!

hey im wanting to be a copper myself so not to bothered haha. although i am on a learner licence (although ive had it 3 years) but do do the speed limit... i personally believe its safer.. especially on the motorway. as long as you are confident enough doing it. but if i get stoped i get stopped.. would be my own fault

If you aren't just taking the piss and are serious about wanting to be a copper, then you are an idiot for riding outside of your license conditions.

You get pulled over once and it's bye bye :bye: police career.

Worse still the only excuse you have is laziness - get off your arse and go and sit your restricted.

[wisefxx]

hey no need to be a toss pot about it. i have been in aussie for almost a year and have only just gotten myself a bike again. plus i have a helicopter licenc e to fall back on.. just wanted to do the whole cop thing for a few years. and yes i know about if i get pulled over etc etc

Not true! Do you really think that all cops are straight shooters? There's a big difference between getting a breach of licence conditions and having a serious criminal record.

I have a mate who was pulled over in taupo for some outright dangerous driving.
Said mate asked the cop whether it would harm his chances of getting into the police force, cop let him go :)

Come and visit the beautiful Hazard County!

Home of rolling hills, Surf beaches, Twisty roads, silly open road speed limits, and of course, it is New Zealands Premier Police District.

Hazard county (some people know it as Rodney) is located just north of New Zealands capital City, Auckland, and encompasses such glorious destinations as Helensville, Dairy Flat and parakai.

The main attraction of Hazard in recent times is due to the activities of a creature known as Ginga. There is mass debate over the number of Gingas, but most reports suggest one or two exist in the area. No other sightings of this species have been made anywhere else in New Zealand!

Although its taxynonymy status is uncertain, it is thought by some that despite being a New Zealand native species, Hazard's Gingas could indeed be closely related to European Gingas - but without the cross breeding with leprechauns.

Reports on its behavior however are sparse, but it does seem more active at night. It also has been known to venture outside of hazard, but the sources of this information are yet to be confirmed.

Behaviour witnessed thus far (from credible Hazard experts) Include: Entrapment, Bribery, Blackmail, bullying and lying.

WARNING!
Data suggests that Ginga's are actually caring creatures! If you are travelling too fast for its liking, regardless of speedlimits, it will punish you for your own protection! This is highly unadvisable as there is little chance for escape - it is very resourceful and will call upon its pack of minions to catch you via roadblocks in a cost efficient and constructive use of police time.

Hazard County Tours run weekly, departing Westgate Shell station at 7pm every thursday.
You can be assured that a Hazard expert will be on hand as your guide. Enjoy the scenery, and if very lucky, a Ginga sighting may occur.

[Pumba]

:lol:

You lost your licence again Pete?

Providing you have the balls and horsepower, and Ginga does not know you or your bike [notice I did not say 'taken note of your licence plate'-Hazzard county coppers are happy to lie], doing a runner is not to hard. Many participants on the ATNR [and Hazzard county pilots] have successfully left gasping commodore police cars in their wake.
You can do eet:2thumbsup

Thursday 15th October...I plan to be there and learn all about this ginga stuff/thing/person every one mentions.

Meet some KBers and hopefully meet others heading to the GC on the weekend.

If anyone fancies a ride to the Cape leaving late afternoon Wed, over nighting somewhere a few hours north of auckland and then back in time for ATNR, drop me a PM. Pub / hotel suggestions where to stay a night 3 or so hrs north of Auckland would be appreciated.

Of course I still have a license, I dont break the law anymore remember!

Hiya boys and girls, now summertime is coming, we can probably expect some good turnouts. I'd like to refer you all to Noels thread The Group Ride Guide

If you are a noob to the ATNR, be aware it is for intermediate to experienced riders, and could be classed as technical.

The last thing we want to see is a cock fight ending in tears.

[gtr boy]

only reason ive not been is my bike has been getting a rebuild
pretty close now so i hope to get a look at this ginga c**t

Hi ATNR people I might just pop along to Bar Africa tonight to catch up I wont be riding as my bike was stolen last week, its insured so I will be back on the road sometime soon.

Have a good ride people and keep an eye on your bike.

Also the Tauranga Thursday Night Ride has been hijacked buy over zealous mods and has been sent to PD http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=24981

I cant believe why and how they have done this, I asked what was up in the senior members section and got an interesting reply http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=30901&page=29 if your not a senior member you wont be able to see the thread and I dont think I should quote from there.

But I got from the reply is that the mods seem more concerned about people getting their post count numbers up by posting in the ride thread, (who cares) so it was moved to rant and rave....(no post count recorded)
They (Mods) sited it was to hard for new members to get the correct ride information from the thread, what a load of crap in my opinion,

This bunch of people are one of the most active riders on the site and although there may be some crap (humorous and light hearted) on the thread at least these people are out riding.

I guess KB is more about the internet than riding bikes.

Hmmm, might skip it tonight, had enough of the bitching about ACC levies on here without having to get more of it while I try to enjoy my beer!

[gunnyrob]

you are all girlie men. No one else at the ride, no one at the pub, so I couldn't even skite about being a super hard adventure biker that laughs in the face of thunderstorms & floods and doing the full circuit myself.

Ha! Take that you stupid thunderstorm!

I shall now crack open some vino and toast my manliness.

[Qkchk]

Is it okay if I produce a note to say that I couldn't come tonight?

If anything, that'll just confirm what we already knew - That Steve isn't too great in the sack!

I don't understand why no-one went out for a ride tonight? It's :sunny: in Christchurch! :rofl:

[LBD]

So I guess I was the only one dumb enough to turn up at Westgate Shell at 1815 and wait until 1845 ....all alone....?

What a way to treat visitors....

[Korumba]

Where were you fuckers?? turned up at the pub (after doing the SATNR), like Skiddy does in my car and no one there.. winters over guys and gurls.

[Morcs]

If I recall their were 8 of us at the pub between 8 and 10pm...

[LBD]

And none at the servo...thanks guys.....

[Morcs]

And none at the servo...thanks guys.....

It was wet... Id ridden all day in the rain yesterday and just cbf doing more wet riding...

the ATNR happens regardless of who turns up. If i turn up on my own and go for a ride, its still the ATNR :p

you shouldve just cruised around until you see some cops, then you know you are on the ATNR :D :headbang:

[gunnyrob]

I was at the servo from 1830-1900. left on the dot. Had the beemer parked up ready to go, but had to shelter for a bit. I got to the pub at 1945 & no one there. mooched for a bit, then gapped it. Guess it's a bit faster on your own. See you next week.

What a way to treat visitors....

lol pwnt..............

[LBD]

It was wet... Id ridden all day in the rain yesterday and just cbf doing more wet riding...

the ATNR happens regardless of who turns up. If i turn up on my own and go for a ride, its still the ATNR :p

you shouldve just cruised around until you see some cops, then you know you are on the ATNR :D :headbang:

6 more full days of riding in the rain and you would have caught up with my seven days straight, leading up to the day I turned up for the ATNR


lol pwnt..............

Thought you guys may want to see THIS (http://www.nzta.govt.nz/consultation/motorcyclist-consultation/index.html)

[Morcs]

We rarely go through there unless we go upto warkworth occaisionally...

I emailed them anyway with a pretty standard argument.


Hi,

I am a motorcyclist, and naturally I am biased and disagree with the toll...

But, I believe motorcyclists shouldn't have to pay the toll because:

*Smaller carbon footprint, better for the environment
*Doesn't contribute to traffic jams
*Doesn't have any wear effect on the road surface itself, whereas cars and trucks do - supporting the fact that they should be paying for the road.

We all know how bad the traffic can get on that section of road in summer as people flock north on the weekends.

Personally If I had to pay a toll, Id use the convenience of my car - thus increasing my carbon footprint, adding to the traffic, and the eventual deterioration of the road.

Regards,

[Qkchk]

I'd rather go over the twisties every time, its worth more than $2 for those bends...............unless its pissing down maybe.

We could do the longer route tonight, and come back via making lots of noise through the tunnel.

I cant be arsed stopping in warkworth though, would rather head back to albany for the beer :)

[Qkchk]

Ergh, yeah. We all know it can BUT you there is one small problem with that - something along the lines of 'being responsible'...... :doh:

Personally, Im with Kiwi Graham - I'd rather go through the old way BUT will make the most of it for now as we may not have much choice soon...... :angry:

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=112568

[idleidolidyll]

The Sth Akl Thursday Ride folk are thinking about coming your way this week.

Now that Nick Smith has clearly said that rises to the levies WILL go ahead, it seems time to ramp the protests up.

The National/ACT Govt always knew they would not get away with 300% increases: that was nothing but a starting point for what they actually expect: 100-200% increases.

As far as I'm concerned, NO increase is the target and we will have to back that message up in the media. Given that the media and govt have largely ignored us between events, we have to start engaging in action that grabs media attention so those bargaining for us can secure complete elimination of this unfair rise.

So, that being the case, I have already started a thread to generate ideas on how to LEGALLY disrupt New Zealand and gain publicity for the cause.
I, and some of my fellow SATNR riders would like to come and talk with you about this action.

We will decide online and on the night but I'd say it is probable that our Thursday night ride will be to meet you people.

For a starter, take a look at the thread:
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=112498

Note: BRONZ have made it quite clear that their organisation cannot condone illegal or disruptive action. I understand that and agree. BRONZ however, CAN use the LEGAL but disruptive actions of many riders to push our cuase.

Take a look at some of the ideas posted and lets have a discussion.

[gunnyrob]
