ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Maha]

Err just ad an orible fort isn't a "widower" the male equivilent of a widow

you picked up on that also....mmmmmm?
i agree

[beyond]

Ok, you guys telling me that the plates were taken down when you left and that half way through the ride the last six were pulled over and lost their licences even though they weren't over the 140kmh limit just because the other lot that disappeared were?

How could Swanny be done when his bike won't do 140?? Man, this sucks. It's getting bad eh? :( :(

[skidMark]

i smell a rat... i reckon somebody on the ride text through to the popo to say exactly what roads we would be taking after the ride briefing...

oh welll


the cops were just doing thier job...i mean they guy on the zx10 was doing 210 or something stupid wasn't he?

Speeds have not been mentioned.....you could be done for doing 110kph in an 80kph zone........or 90 through a 50k zone....:whocares:

I highly doubt that... wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where we were going... there was even a cop sat on Scenic drive.

All I can say is RIP Kiwibiker Group Rides. I'll start sorting rides by txt / pms from now on I'd imagine.

Except for Newbie Ride 3 however... weather is picking up so keep your eyes peeled!

we have been informed that the boys in blue will be out in force for Newbie Ride 3... :(

[beyond]

Ok, of course. Wasn't there so assumed it was open road stuff.
Just getting pissed off that us bikers seem to be getting targeted. The infamous loop is being done over as well. Upper Bay of Plenty.

Looks like summers going to see a lot less bikers on the road eh? :(

[SwanTiger]

The first thing my Girlfriend said to me was "WOW! I didn't know my bike could go that fast" ... which it can't, or at least the speedo indicates that it wont go over 120 kmp/h with me on it.

Anyway, can't wait to go to court.

Let me know the date man ... i'll be there in support.

[DMNTD]

Ummmm....suggestion:

Firstly (http://www.radardirect.co.nz/index2.html), also. (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/CategoryListings.aspx?mcat=0001-0877-2808-)

There will always be Police...sucks(re speeding) but fact. :yes:

[skidMark]

i will be there to support you swanny if i'm not working

[inlinefour]

Firstly, goes to show just how low some Police will go to bust the public. Secondly, goes to show how much the Ploice watch KiwiBiker to bust its members. Thirdly, comiserations to all those who got pinged and/or lost their licience. Finally, thank goodness I was not on this one, although I rode like a nana last time as I did not know the roads.

And the piglets wonder why the public is loosing respect for them?

[Big Dave]

we have been informed that the boys in blue will be out in force for Newbie Ride 3... :(


That would be great - have a talk to them - have them advise the newbies on how to stay out of trouble, be proactive and supportive. Offer some education on police methods and what the penalties are.
It would be welcome I reckon - the newbie rides are a great idea and model of community co-operation.
The Police should be supporting it.

[Phenoix]

Will just need to make sure all RIDERS are OBEY ALL the terms of the liences.
Espially the "L" and the cc.
Otherwise a gold mine for quoter time.

[Karma]

Thirdly, comiserations to all those who got pinged and/or lost their licience.

Well anyone that was pinged was done for license losing speeds... don't think anyone just rode away with points / fine.

Thinking it over in a more calm way, I'm sure they must have caught more of us for speeds that they could have booked us for, but can you imagine the riot that would have broken out if they'd have issued 25 tickets instead of 3.

[paultz250]

i hope you guy are still going to organise a ride next thursday i was there for this one and you guy did a great job organising it and hope more bikes turn up next week that would b a statment :rockon:

[Phenoix]

Remeber the law states you are innocent until proven guilty.
If you havent admittde it, they must prove that it was
A) Your bike that they caught speeding, Radar is too open in gorup riding, you cant pinpoint 1 person.
B)You WERE the rider at the time of aleged speed.
ie, you MAY have swapped bikes to take your mates new ZXR for a ride.
And since you dont know exactually where they pinged you, unless they followed, AND had your in there sight 100% of the time, it is cirumstancial evidance.
Also did anyone check the EXP date on their radar/laser ?
Or the operating permators of said equipment, ther may be a clause about riding close together it can not CLEARLY identify said speedster.

Just my 2 cents, but rememeber that this is revenue gathering and if you fight it, it comes unporftable for the cops and they'll most likly drop it.

[DMNTD]

... I'm sure they must have caught more of us for speeds that they could have booked us for...


but rememeber that this is revenue gathering and if you fight it, it comes unporftable for the cops and they'll most likly drop it.

Can't be revenue gathering if they let the "mild" speeders go Phenoix.
Don't get me wrong,it still sucks the fatty but it's just apart of the game.

[SixPackBack]

One of the cops mentioned excess speed claiming that 160 was to fast....they where not interested in those doing 120.

Get the feeling that locals are complaining about the noise [bit of inside info!] more than speed. Something to think about.

Fuck-it I will be there every week...just at a slightly reduced speed!

[McJim]

A lot of bikes attracts a lot of attention. I would think that that reason is more likely than cops watching this site setting up a sting and plan to bust a whole lot of bikers.

Yep - with the run from botany the first one was seven riders the second one was more than 16 - could have something to do with it after all.

[Big Dave]

The Police presence on the site is hardly covert. There are blue and red 3 participants whose posts and perspective i enjoy - hardly a secret.

"Fuck-it I will be there every week...just at a slightly reduced speed!"

No Sixpack - don't do it - rage hopelessly against the machine - slowing down a bit is exactly what they want you to do! :blip:

[mynameis]

Just a couple of points, as you say there were a number of riders who were being naughty, don't you think thats why the Police were selective in their enforcement using an unmarked car and all. Guess registration plates don't mean anything these days. By the way it is not a requirement to show the locked speed on the device.

No there were marked cars as well and they were just out numbered to snap all who were being naughty so the ones in front got done. Police didn't have a choice to be selective at speeds that were being done on the night. It was basically who ran into the lions mouth first got eaten away.

And yes it isn't a requirement to show clocked speeds under the current Land Transport Act 1998. But hey wait amendments will follow in years to come and soon we will be like other countries.

My point is though you can always dispute that you weren't doing the speeds cops "said" you were going at. Reason being; there were way too many bikes for only two cop cars to keep track of and chances of them making a mistake is high irrespective of the actual speed you were doing whether faster or slower than indicated.


Only in NZ eh...

Proof? We don't need proof, as long as I say you were speeding then you must have been.

What kind of fucking retarded system lets them just write down a plate and say what speed you were doing... given there were 30 of us, in the dark, and the coppers didn't know which bike was which, how can they say, beyond reasonable doubt, that they actually caught the people they ticketed?

A very good point and the fact is that they can't actually fully accurately tell who was doing what speed. True but sad that our system sucks big time. The equipment they carry aren't as advanced as you'd find in USA or UK and the law actually reflects that. Just spent few hours reading through Land Transport Act 1998 and it's dirty obvious that at the end of the day it's the cops word over yours. Sucks but I guess you have to live with it till amendments.

[The_Dover]

Fuck it,

I'm going to come next week and do some wheelies on my noisy as fuck GSXR1000.

I wont be running a plate, so good luck writing it down and if you catch me I'm all yours you fucking lowlife piggie!!

P.S. I'm going to be shitfaced drunk and high as a kite with my years supply of Pee in a condom up my ass. You can have that too if you catch me!!

I think crazy steve has just been replaced ... LOL

[Finn]

The regular cops on KB have nothing to do with it. Yeah, Spud would tazer his own mother just for kicks so we should probably keep an eye on him.

It's quite conceivable that cops do watch KB and target rides. Regardless, someone seems to always get pinged on TNR's.

We all know that the cops are their for revenue purposes. Either get a radar detector or slow down on these rides. You're making it too easy for them.

I had a radar detector about a month ago but it got stolen out of my car!

[R6_kid]

Sounds like a lot of you are being too paranoid about the cops. Sure they are appearing on places we ride, but they are places we ride frequently. They dont have to watch the site to know where we might be, but if you do 'the same roads' at the same time on the same night each week it wont take long til someone takes an exception and makes a complaint.

Luckily i've had good karma with the cops and only got pinged for 115 when I was doing 128 (he let me off the 128 as it was a first offence) and also once in town when i had an excessive display of traction resulting in the front wheel rising approx 3ft in the air as i travelled across an intersection.

Quite a few people have the right mindset - "it's part of the game"

Honestly, what makes you think that even though you are doing over the speed limit that you shouldnt be ticketed? Dont beat me up on this, i do it all the time. If you get caught you pay the price. Deal with it.

I will say however that it sucks for those that lost their licences in what seems to be a very dubious situation.

Now, i spent $95 on a track day and $150 in gas and accomodation and had a mint time riding knee down, as fast as i can and reaching speeds of 240kmh+... got photos too but no tickets!!! Sorry, couldnt resist but i did have an awesome time at Taupo!

[Buddy L]

Looks like im the lucky one and missed the ride, might have been nabed as well, ill come along this week in my ute because i having withdrawl syptoms from no riding.

[adiddy]

how about a ride out south??
and thought aboiut this kinda thing a few weeks ago actually that maybe we should start to change the nights around, have them on a wed, and then not have them for a week etc..
woukld destroy the cops..
would they bother chasing you if you gapped and if so up to what speed?

[classic zed]

they will never get past the "Hippo" (as its been named), its nearly as wide as a small car :yes:

I came over the Harbour bridge today from town, there was about 8 bikes stopped on the side of the road, would you believe there was 3 police cars with them :nono:

[Karma]

would they bother chasing you if you gapped and if so up to what speed?

Unless you're an exceptional rider or in the middle of an urban area with hideholes then you've no chance on a 250.

How fast can you go without crashing?

[Phenoix]

After 200, its usually classed as exsusively dangours.
Thing is, I doubt a standard 250 would do that.
And you'll also probably get a cop to call in the egale, that means above 240 on the straight, no chance on the back roads.

[The_Dover]

Does that mean no plateless wheelies then?

[Fishy]

Does that mean no plateless wheelies then?

Use a plate and stop eating them straight out of the packet you animal.

[DMNTD]

Does that mean no plateless wheelies then?

Mate I'd be more impressed it you could do a scratchless wheelie! :woohoo:

[westerlybreeze]

I would say go ahead with the normal ATNR. Leave from Westgate at your normal time and end up at the Speights Ale House, (those guys have really supported us, dont let them down). You just need to all ride sensibly and the cops will have nothing to ping you for.
Steve Walker, the constable from Warkworth even said, "Hey 110, 120, we dont have a problem with, you guys were all riding safely...its the 140's , 150's were going to get, so we will be back here for the next three weeks or so".
Now, the ATNR is about a social gathering and freindly ride to meet at the pub for a coldie and a yarn. Its not a GP.
SO everyone get your asses to Westgate at 1830 tonight, have a fun, safe ride, the police will be there, show em that they are wasting there time by coming.
:scooter: Here here :yes:

:brick: Although I received yesterday a letter from the constabully, asking who was riding my VFR that night :oi-grr: ... Much more of this ticketing carry on and we all could start riding as a roudy law abiding group into the city, taking in as much of the inner suburbs as possible, parking up somewhere public like Queens St or corner of Hobson and Cook St with a view of the Skytower :Punk:

:nono: Kiwis are so turning into a bunch of conformed pussies :spanking:

:rockon: See you Thursdsay for a cruise

[Keystone19]

I usually do the Thursday night rides.

I wasn't there last Thursday and I won't be there this Thursday but I will continue to do the Thursday night rides as often as possible. As Speedie says, this is supposed to be a social ride ending up with a few nibbles and drinks at the pub. It has always been held as a social ride and I for one enjoy the ride and the company.

Long live the Thursday night ride...!

[Karma]

You just need to all ride sensibly and the cops will have nothing to ping you for.

Yeh, good luck with that.

If they don't get you for speed, they'll start targetting regos and wofs, once they've done that they'll find those breaking license conditions (ie. more than 250cc etc...).

Why not take the hint that they just don't want bikers going over there?

[SwanTiger]

I might come along on my un-warranted un-registered motorcycle on my suspended drivers license without wearing a helmet, only my stubbie shorts and my Head Hunters patched leather jacket with drugs lining its pockets.

And if I can find my sawn off shot gun that has been used in countless drive by shootings and armed robberies and was originally stolen - I'll bring that too.

This is a big "maybe" as I've got to bash my Girlfriend first and then kill my children so I may be late.

[SwanTiger]

Why not take the hint that they just don't want bikers going over there?
Yeah, come over to my place and we can plan a home invasion or order some pizza and bash the delivery guy to death.

[SwanTiger]

Although I received yesterday a letter from the constabully, asking who was riding my VFR that night
Was that you and someone else who had stopped just past the forest on the side of the road when Phil and I came along and stopped as well?

[Pumba]

without wearing a helmet, only my stubbie shorts and my Head Hunters patched leather jacket with drugs lining its pockets.

Its Not illegal to wear stubbies on a bike. Stupid but not illegal.:dodge:

[SwanTiger]

Its Not illegal to wear stubbies on a bike. Stupid but not illegal.:dodge:
No, I'm pretty sure it would be classed as indicent exposure.

Anyway, I'm off to sell drugs to the local school kiddies.

Or you could go on Thursday and meet up with everyone else! lol
See you at the pub people.

[McJim]

who was riding my VFR that night :oi-grr:[/I]

Answer "Well Bugger me - someone must've taken it for a ride and brought it back again without my knowing! - damn criminals getting crafty coz there's not yat a law against borrowing!"

To tell the truth I'd love to come on one of these rides and meet everyone I've been taking the piss out of (in a light hearted manner) but it's just too much of a pain in the arse to travel 50km to get there then another 50km home AFTER the pub. We should organise a South or East Auckland one for the rest of us coz it's a damn good idea..contrary to common belief not everything in Auckland revolves around the North Shore or Waitakere City....I'd organise it but having only been riding for 4 months the chances of anyone respecting what I have to say are slim to fock all!

Respect to the Qkchk and whanau for all their work - seems to be a good little institution you got going on Thuirsday nights.

Heilen Klarke is "just borrowing" the funds for the election bribes...


Get organising! It dosen't have to be you who leads/organises the ride, but just getting people together at a start point and thinking up a finishing place that may be amenable to a few extra patrons... Once the right things are found it will find it's own momentum.
ATNMJR will commence = Auckland Thursday Night McJim Rides!

...

...

He also said that marked cop cars are supposed to get people for 11km/h over or more while unmarked cop cars are for the higher speeders.

I think I'll go by that rather than do 120 and hope they don't mind.

[Zed]

To tell the truth I'd love to come on one of these rides and meet everyone I've been taking the piss out of (in a light hearted manner) but it's just too much of a pain in the arse to travel 50km to get there then another 50km home AFTER the pub.I and many others have found that meeting KBers in person changes your attitude and tone of posts dramatically, especially when you are publicly addressing them or a thread they are in...that's why WINJA is still such a blankety blank individual online, cos he doesn't go to KB events, so has hardly met anyone face to face! YOU may wanna think twice or else your online persona may not be so witty any longer?? :msn-wink:


We should organise a South or East Auckland one for the rest of us coz it's a damn good idea..contrary to common belief not everything in Auckland revolves around the North Shore or Waitakere City....Been trialed but didn't take off, maybe this summer it'll happen.

Respect to the Qkchk and whanau for all their work - seems to be a good little institution you got going on Thuirsday nights.A comment worthy of honour. Now turn up and shake their hands will you!

[placidfemme]

I'd organise it but having only been riding for 4 months the chances of anyone respecting what I have to say are slim to fock all!

Ahhh... give it a go... I organised a ride when I only had my restricted for a few months... Had a total of 50-odd bikes attended the ride... it was great, and everyone followed the directions given... I had some help from more experienced members, but thats all for learning :)

Seriously... give it a go... :rockon:

[westerlybreeze]

Was that you and someone else who had stopped just past the forest on the side of the road when Phil and I came along and stopped as well?
Yup, just stopped to adjust my new gear (had just picked the bike up that morning). :scooter:

[McJim]

I and many others have found that meeting KBers in person changes your attitude and tone of posts dramatically..............A comment worthy of honour. Now turn up and shake their hands will you!

So my posts will stop being generally jovial and I'll start getting abusive?

Have met shedloads of riders on the Learner Friendlys out east already.

I'm an L plate rider with a young family - too many commitments in terms of sticking to the speed limit (70kph) and putting children to bed in the evening. No experience of riding in the dark yet. Will come along when Daylight savings does it's thang at the beginning of October but would just be a liability in the meantime. Should be restricted at beginning of Nov and full licence end of Jan.

Have already promised Qkchk I would turn up one day....and yes..I really am a loud mouthed glaswegian in real life!

Will see how family commitments go to try and get an evening run started in this neck of the woods. Will probably avoid Thursday though in case some socialites want to attend 2 evening runs in any given week.

[Qkkid]

:scooter: Another beautifull :sunny: evening for the ride :rockon: A few pointers for the night :shutup: :nono: WATCH YOUR SPEEDS PEOPLE AND THE SPEED ZONES some are 70km zones 80km and 100km zones

Don't do the ride but I go up to the pub and visit and I'm in the far east too.
Piss weak.

We five, we lucky few survived another ATNR Akl night ride unscathed. No rain, no bins:shutup:, no Mr. Plod :Police:. Sneaked a beeline for the Tavern - cheers Jonny you sniffed out the pub like a rabid bloodhound!

Mark up to his usual shinanigans - I'm sure MyNameIs will remember to thank you later - and I noticed you flung past me on the way home at $%#@ speed.

Cheers to BigDave for the heads up on the Bike reviews - who needs magazines :msn-wink:

[Jonny Rotten]

good to see atleast SOME of a turn out last night..... the rain held out till we reached the pub then it spat for about 5 mins then stopped......only saw one cop when we were at west gate scooping us out from behind the steering wheel of his under cover car......it was good to get out for a ride and streach those legs even if it was just a quick squirt threw riverhead......mark seemed to behave himself and kept to the speed limit and under it.....

thanks to the guys who turned up for the ride and the fellas who came to the pub

[McJim]

So apart from Black Bandit and Johnny Rotten who turned up?

We had a great run out south organised by The_Dover - no rain at all.

Twisty, turny, dark....all fun.

A lot of KBers have met WINJA. I can tell you that his persona in real life is exactly the same as on KB. A top bloke who hates all of my bikes except for the Magic.

[Back Fire]

I turned up... had a bit of fun practising on the way there... cops gave up pritty quick when they saw there wasn't many bikes... and the roads werer dry as a bone on the way there and back... I didn't even know it drizzled while we had stopped....

[Fishy]

Yeah was a ok ride just a short quick route to the pub lol .. only 5 were there though. Met up with others at the pub. Good nite overall .. and SkidMark was going harder than Rossi .. Damn !! Lol ..

[cowpoos]

A lot of KBers have met WINJA. I can tell you that his persona in real life is exactly the same as on KB. A top bloke who hates all of my bikes except for the Magic.
ditto.....

[skidMark]

We five, we lucky few survived another ATNR Akl night ride unscathed. No rain, no bins:shutup:, no Mr. Plod :Police:. Sneaked a beeline for the Tavern - cheers Jonny you sniffed out the pub like a rabid bloodhound!

Mark, buy my Hyosung, it'll make you cool.

[Karma]

Mate, that's almost as funny as mark having crashed once...

[adiddy]

are you guys stil planning on going on your ride?
do cops bother to monitor riders who may go to the oub and have 1 or 2 then go home?

[Keystone19]

So who all is coming tonight?

[Pumba]

If I can drag my arse away from work at a respectable hour tonight you can count me in

[mynameis]

[skidMark]

see you guys there...if weather turns to crap see ya all at the pub

[Macktheknife]

See you all at the pub! Good tucker and great grog.

[Pumba]

:2thumbsup Good ride and a good time at the pub last night guys and girls. See you all next week as long as I dont get tied down by work.

[Keystone19]

A good turn out with a mix of first timers and old hands. Ignoring the inevitable comments on Skidmarks behaviour (JSG returns reincarnated as Skidmark), everyone else rode well and it was a really enjoyable evening.

I don't believe Skidmark will be welcome on one of these rides again which is a shame for him really.

Only one cop spotted, parked up a side road off Peak Rd I believe. It's amazing how much fun you can have on a bike even travelling at legal speed limits...

Look forward to seeing the regulars back next week...:Pokey:

[Big Dave]

I don't believe Skidmark will be welcome on one of these rides again which is a shame for him really.



Send him my avatar.

[SwanTiger]

Hey Guys,

Mark has been planning for the future and he has finally decided on what ride he would like next. I've attached a picture. Low mileage, new rubber and one lady owner. Government funded too I believe, hows that for a good deal!

[The_Dover]

it's got a nice pink frame too.

i think he'll be very happy with it.

[Karma]

I don't believe Skidmark will be welcome on one of these rides again which is a shame for him really.

Has he been welcome on any of them? Not for a while it seems.

And Swanny... that'd still beat a hyosung.

[McJim]

What did Skidmark do this time?

[SwanTiger]

And Swanny... that'd still beat a hyosung.
If Mark owned a Hyosung people would ignore his (lack of) riding (ability) and focus on making fun of his bike. Works for me! :cool:

What did Skidmark do this time?

Still got his back?? .............

How is marks arse?:buggerd:

[Macktheknife]

:

Why??
Surely this is an over-reaction, we all know that he is still learning and has a LOT to learn, but he has improved some and has shown evidence of listening to advice (unlike some others). If we all refuse to ride with him then we cannot help to improve the situation right?
Mark suffers from youthful stupidity, granted, but I think people need to lighten up on him. The 'brotherhood' of riding should be taking a bit more of an interest in helping Mark to overcome his shortcomings I feel.
Constantly bashing someone for the mistakes they make can only make the situation worse, and increase the likelihood of him not listening to advice because he knows it will only be critical and insulting.
Lets try to be a more constructive huh guys n gals?
Mack

[crashe]

Only the riders on the ride last night know what Skidmark did.

I was there but I am not going to put it up on here what he did for another Skidmark bashing from riders who werent there.

He apologised to those concerned at the end of the night and as far as I know it has now been sorted.

Lets leave it at that.

Mark is a young lad, and has a lot of energy to burn.... and he just needs to learn to direct that energy in the right direction. He will do that in time, just like everyone else has done.


Skidmark - I accepted your apology and hope you will take in what I said to you.

[SwanTiger]

We all love Mark, how could we not, the teasing is all apart of being one big family.

[R6_kid]

had a fun ride out there by myself with my pillion. Was interesting doing it alone with a bit of pace. Dont think i saw any cops but i pretty much cruised *most* of the time :2thumbsup

the time at the bar was good. Just gotta get my head around who buys the drinks :Pokey:

Definitely agree with you there Mac, no need to give him ear bashing I am sure he's had enough of those last nite he's a young boy and will learn over time. I think he should still come for rides with us, overall a good funny bugger he is ! :)

[Keystone19]

Well, it doesn't bother me if he rides with us again, I just don't think he'll be welcomed with open arms.

Apologies are great, but he also needs to follow this up with acknowledging his behaviour causes concern to those he rides with and take steps to rectify this. If he can do this, then I will welcome him.

[fast135]

...aint crashed on the opn road...yet....only lowsided once and that was in suburbia...we all know the story there..... new tyres which were cold me paniking blah blah shit happens...

***News flash***
Mark has stacked it on the open rd.
Mark came on one of the Scooterclub rides ages ago on a cheap shitty Chinese/taiwanese monkey bikes.
normally its only Italian/euro scoots, but we felt sorry for him and let him join us.
he was going sooo slow that we had to get him to lead the group otherwise we would have left him behind.
theres a section of tight twisties out west ......and you guessed it . Mark binned it and failed to take a corner.
Texmo saw it.
How can you go that slow and still fall off?

[Black Bandit]

He has some good skills on his bike - certainly a more capable rider than I am and alot more confident. I think he just needs to work on his behaviour when riding in a group. The worst thing when group riding is not knowing WTF the rider in front/next to/ or behind you is going to do next.

Mark - I really don't want to be guessing what's going to happen next when rounding a corner at 100 km/h!

Don't ban SKIDMARK - The rides would not be the same without him:whistle:

[Keystone19]

Nobody is bashing nor banning Mark. The comment was that he may not be welcome. You are exactly right when you say he needs to work on his group riding skills. I think the major issue is that for some of us, we've been there before with another rider, it makes one somewhat cynical. For what it's worth I personally like both Mark and the other rider. I just don't want to see anyone getting hurt either on or off the bike.

and on the bike. thus not a bin.... i just came to a very interesting stop lol

[skidMark]

Thursday night at the pub and not hassling mark would be unthinkable - you should have seen the shirt he had on.

No, he was made to lead, made a big difference and no dodgy overtaking from him.

Cheers everyone for another good night, catch you all at the next one

I'm anti-motorway at the moment, it's so boring, the only enjoyment I get is doing 80 in the fast lane and pissing off all the drivers who are too stubborn to go around.

[Jonny Rotten]

[SwanTiger]

Too easy! you just made his weekly quota in one night!

[The_Dover]

some peoples stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

they make me look smart.

[Blackbuell]

When will you guys learn,you have been told by everyone & even by the police they are targeting this ride,its a great ride,just don't speed & ya won't get pulled up.

[Jonny Rotten]

When will you guys learn,you have been told by everyone & even by the police they are targeting this ride,its a great ride,just don't speed & ya won't get pulled up.

yeah its still a really injoyable ride with out the high speeds..... you can still go though the twisty bits quick enough and thats where most the fun is anyway


might see you back on the ride then soon aye Blackbuell ?

[SwanTiger]

Despite all these warnings... 99% of people still speed, when I first started going on this ride most of the speeds I heard "mentioned" were 140 - 240 (or more) which carried on for quite some time.

I wonder how long it is before the poplice setup a booze bus .. hmmmmmm ...............

better pack cough lollies ...

[FROSTY]

sorry I couldnt make it folks--I er um took a detour. :baby:

[Ixion]

Why in the name of all that is ungodly would anyone be rash enough (and I deleted out several other words before settling for rash) to deliberately go on a ride that they knew the plod were targeting?

It seems to be to be height of folly.

I will always go considerably out of my way to avoid the plod. I cannot understand those foolish enough to put their heads into the lions mouth.

And do not tell me that humbug about "if you obey the law you have nothing to fear". I've seen that go wrong all too often.

Do you all suffer from some sort of self destructive mental condition, or what?

[boomer]

Apparantly it's a long way to Tipperary:Pokey:


the funny thing is, there was hooning at the petrol station before we set off, then the squids started undertaking lorries on single lanes.

i'm glad i got lost and found other roads to partake in before we passed said rozza's and speedy gonzales. thanks for an enjoyable evenin and i want some of my tax back piggies.......:kick:

[Merwood]

overtaking lorries in single lanes when it was safe to do so :wari: uhhh as for the cop bad luck, blue mazda 6 eh that sob. i was thinking some kind of kiwibiker code should be formulated out of this forum, so when we say "hot dog chocolate star fish" those authorities monitoring the site will not know what the hell were on about but to us it actually means ride on thursday night meet at location x, guess me saying that has just put me in the shit though :beer:

[lukelin250]

[lukelin250]

some peoples stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

they make me look smart. When will you guys learn,you have been told by everyone & even by the police they are targeting this ride,its a great ride,just don't speed & ya won't get pulled up. (black buell)

have you ever been on a ride????? dont speed?? fuckin hell do you wana ride with everyone or by yourself buell and dover fucking stupidity??? yeah right it was on the longest straight possible i wasnt endangering anyone or risking much just catcing upto the group.......

[SPman]

Ahh the memories.....Thursday nights back in the good ol' days....way back in ......erm....February.........when the cops just turned up at the pub and didn't know of a route to stake out........no tickets, just the weekly bin to keep us all occupied........Frosty and moi passing at a closing speed of around 500 kph out on Pare. road in the gloom.........aaaaaaaaahhhhh.

Now its a bitch fest - glad I'm over here!

[Phenoix]

Sorry all I missed the ride, work commitments.
But you dont need to do 180 on the straight to catch the group.
Dover may do it, and Dover may have lsot his liences a few times cos of it.
But do you look like Dover, god I hope not, ones enough.
There are markers at each turn, so you dont get lost, tho it seems it still happens.
Unless your were tail end charlie, there was still someone behind you, thus still in the group.

[Blackbuell]

For your information Luke boy,just ask the regulars on this ride just how many times i have done this ride,i think you might be suprised that i do know what i,m talking about,i will say it again,this is a great ride,but with the cops targeting this ride,if you ride at the speed limit,then ya will be fine,ya wont lose ya licence ah Luke boy:banana:

[Karma]

fuck the police clocked at 180 no licence on me (i have learners) no l plate blah blah blah ................... grrrrrrrr im gonna miss riding so much. cheers to the one guy that came bck to get me(you no who you are) as for the rest be carefull guys the cops knew exactly who we were and have been stakn out the route . c u in 28 days

Hold on? at least 110kph over the limit, no L Plate, and no license on you? I wouldn't be so sure about 28 days mate.

The Thursday night ride seems to have been turned into an initiation ceremony, only those who are true of heart will be able to ride it without getting a ban. :banana:

you will be loosing your license for longer than that..... and one hefty fine, cos you will be off to court.

So why do you need to keep up with the bigger bikes.....?????
Oh thats right you are full of TESTOSTRONE.....
The faster and bigger bikes always wait for everyone at the designated stops... so why rush......

When you sort out the testostrone you will realise that you dont need to be up the front with the bigger bikes.
I believe someone once said in a post somewhere on KB...
have a wank before you go on the ride, that way your testostrone wont be running so high and fast....:rofl:

[Keystone19]

Unfortunately there was no pre-ride briefing last night which probably led to the unfortunate circumstances of the group getting split up and the bulk of riders being led by a rider who did not know the roads nor the Thursday night protocol.

I blame myself for this. I could easily have done a briefing but didn't.

That being said, Devil, Jonny Rotten and myself were tailed by that cop for quite some considerable time and were not stopped - for the obvious reason that we were obeying the road rules.

Oh well, ride at your own risk. There are sometimes pressures on people to ride faster and I have been victim of that too (despite my age, sex and wisdom). Most of us know the cops are watching this ride, but Lukelin250 may not have.

[ManDownUnder]

can i watch :calm:

Don't fucken watch you clown - throw me in too

sorry I couldnt make it folks--I er um took a detour. :baby:

Close crashe, but you'll find adrenaline does something similar and a wank won't fix that.

It could have been me just as easily, or a number of us. The size of the bike possibly saved him from a worse fate

[Theatre]

Good catching up with you all at the pub again. Bad luck luke, when I saw the blue and reds i was wondering what the hell I'd done wrong until I saw you zoom past after i pulled over! I wouldnt beat yourself up about it Keystone, we were talking about the rozzers targeting us at the start of the ride and saw at least 3 markeds zoom past as boomer said. Nobody was forcing people to do excessive speeds to find everyone, the lost group passed the pub and any lost riders could have simply done what black bandit did and pull in there. Agreed with MDU though, I may have been a bit over, but I dont have the guts to go any faster than that, I like my licence.

[The_Dover]

learn to keep up in the corners mate.

I used to do this ride regularly numb nuts, then the pigs turned up.:spanking:

ahhh this ride sounds like fun...........

[The Stranger]

Yeah, that's it - what the hell would Dover and Black Buell know anyway, you got way more experience than them aye.

Not risking much...
Just your license and a fine.

[BNZ]

have you ever been on a ride????? dont speed?? fuckin hell do you wana ride with everyone or by yourself

Hahahahahahah. Im sure you will be dearly missed at the next 3 months of rides as you have no license. :2thumbsup

The talk on this site about the amount of cops following our rides has been pretty damb clear. Dont come here expecting sympathy for going and doing what we all said not to do :spanking:

I would have no issue with you feeling shit about getting a ticket if you didnt come here expecting sympathy. Take it like a man mate, admit it - you fucked up. We've all done it.

[FROSTY]

As i posted earlier I followed the lead rider off towards the wild blue yonder --looking forward to a thursday night ride with the crew.
It all started to look a bit pearshaped when I looked in my mirrors a few minutes in to see--well actually not a heck of a lot. :mad:
We stopped at the normal turnoff to old north road--and waited --and waited and waited.--Im not the most patient of people so I headed back to see what the holdup was.
I got back to the servo to see -once again--NOTHING.
Well bugger this thought I --Ill have a good toodle in the country with keystone--BUT alas--I got back to old north to find myself alone again.
I headed on up old north at a "quiet" pace.
and like Forest gump --I got to the end and I kept on goin -and goin and goin
Till i found myself in the fine lil town of Mangawhai
At one point I felt a lil er heat behind me so I thought perhaps staying the night in Mangawhai wouldnt be a silly idea.
I gotta tell you folks a dawnbuster ride down the mangawhai road is something else. The roads are empty and the traffic--what traffic??

[lukelin250]

He won't because he wasn't done for 180 kmp/h

i said i was clocked at 180 and thats why they didnt catch up to me till almost silverdale,,they turned round at waitoki i think it is, the cop was nice and put down 160 on the infringement because he said anything over that and the judge has to give a harsher sentance and some other stuff i cant remember but yeah it was nice of him i guess,,i do actually have the infringement notice showing where he crossed out the higher speed and then wrote down the lower 160 so i get a better deal at court,,ill try post it up if you really are that keen. or just bring it in ohhhh wait 26 days now./...:whistle:

[T.REX]

I'm the fellow who came back for you on the loud black bike and your welcome dude, also you could try a fake vin, rego, licence and name.
seems easier to just not get caught though. It sounds irresponsible but if you really want to go for a ride, pull out a map, there's plenty of hidden roads you can do what you like on without a pig in sight. i dnt have the right licence and have been caining around on big bore bike for ages, and only got caught when i was doing what you were doing- fanging on main roads. Remember mad max 1 and go do what the fuck you like (just without the gay ZXR compulsary mohawk). Some may say i'm stupid, but then again i'm too fat for a 250cc- some things gotta give and it won't be me.

[T.REX]

Oh yer, how the hell do i get rid of this L-plate crap under my name?, i've at least got a restricted.

look athe FAQ section....essentially post like a madman

[SixPackBack]

In spite of the fact I have not attended an ATNR for nearly a month [bike trouble!] I have observed the ride proceed without any designated leader/leaders.
Clearly a great social ride but not without Police issues resulting in many lost licences and tickets.
The ride can and should continue and in my opinion needs some form of leadership [rotating?] to debreif and guide participants around the designated route at a more licence freindly pace.
The main obstacle to continuation is impressing on newbies the importance of not speeding, those of us that have attended a few ATNR's have witnessed first hand how anal the Police are about speed control and realise 'cruising' on this ride is not an option but a prerequisite.
This post should not be read as criticism of an individual's action but rather an observation that if the ATNR is to continue succesfully change is needed.
So how about it? if the Qck's don't turn up leadership could be designated to perhaps Keystone,Frosty,Blackbuell, Myself [any other senior members willing to put their hands up?].
Some comments people.

[The_Dover]

harden up sixpack, the pigs shouldn't be able to catch you if you give it death

[Phenoix]

Here here.
I agree totally
I wouldnt class myself as a senior as I'm always getting lost.
I havent attended the last few due to bike trouble and work comentments.
Guidence is essintal as this is a SOCIAL EVENT not a race.
We spend more time at the pub than riding.
There will always be "speeders" but what needs to be pressed is there not the pack u should follow.
They know the risks, and have lost there lience on more than one occasion.
Its more about making it too the pub and enjoying ones self

[NinjaNanna]

Hi There,

I was thinking about coming along this thursday as a first timer, but am concerned about the police presence!!!

Roughly how big is the "precautionary" group that brings up the tail and keep their licenses?

Oh yeah and how many riders in total do you usually get along to a ride?

Cheers

The cops are only stressfull when your speeding.
Numbers vary from 10-40
Come along for the social side.

[Phenoix]

They dont just pull over everyone.
They grab the speedsters, which has so far been mainly people doing over 20K over.
But thats not a certainly.
Just stick to the limit.
The tail end charlies are usually good.
ANd its the pointers that help out, at every turn.
On occasion when people have got lost, someone has gone looking.

There is a pretty simple system that has been used for ages, most people know it, if you don't then ask, if you see someone who is a new face then explain it to them.

SPB what is this senior member bullshit? how do I get my senior member KB sticker, I think I've only got a junior KB sticker :buggerd:

Who care's about the Police, same with anywhere, you speed and its illegal so you'll likely get caught. Pick your moments.

[Karma]

They dont just pull over everyone.

Funny, that's exactly what they did when I went.

You ever think that when they can't get dickheads for doing 180 (or whatever), they'll start doing people for 120-130, and how soon after that before they get to 111kph and you're booked?

From what I understand the cops up that way don't want bikers up there, I'm happy to oblige, plenty of good roads elsewhere.

Easy or not newbies in particular do not read the thread or take warnings on site seriuosly, this results in virtually ever week some poor soul loosing their licence or getting a large ticket.
Impressing on them at the start of the ride how militant the cops are on this particular ride would go a long way towards stopping the tears.

Heya bro!! im the guy that was on lukes bike and had to ride it home :) seen luke gt wipped up from the 50- lol

I would be very careful what you say and who to on this thread. To enlighten you, Blackbuell is one of my main senior riders and has been doin the ATNR more times than yourve probably had head. I would advise an apology otherwise stay clear of the ATNR. We have been doin these rides long enough without a learner trying to tell us all about it.

Hmmm just goes to show how many people read the thread PROPERLY eh? As myself and the senior riders on the ATNR have many-a-times expressed, you speed at your own risk! Its called LOGIC :motu:

Apologies for missing out on what sounds like another ride annoyingly stalked by the coppers. Probaly wont be there this week either, gonna save my arse/bike/energy for the big ride up north on Saturday.:chase: Anyone is welcome to tag along for the ride but do so at your own RISK. Im not gonna hang around and clean up after ya like I am consistantly doin on the ATNR. If you cant ride at 100-120kms without being a dick or at even that speed, stay home. S I M P L E

From what I understand the cops up that way don't want bikers up there, I'm happy to oblige, plenty of good roads elsewhere.

Dont think so.

[Phenoix]

What we really should do, is find a cop car and have 30 bikes just follow it around for awhile (After making sure everyones Rego ect is current)
Freedom to ride where we feel, it just "happens" to be the same roads as a cop is on.

Prob not a bad idea. They like to follow us around, so why not play at their game? I dont think there is anything they could do about it.

[SlowHand]

Seuoooooo Log onto forums at www.PolicePatrol.co.nz to look for patrol/cruise threads, then organise it on KB?

But the cops are watching KB, so they'd follow the group that follows the cops that follows the bikes and ....

The mind boggles!

[Phenoix]

And hell, it would be funny.
Espially if someone brings a camera to show the speed the cop car is doing, ie are they speeding ?
It'd be worth the tickets to match speed with the cop car.
Then publish it to the media and use the money to pay the fines and a shout at the pub.
:rockon:
