As per PM, it may not suit for me. I'm in Ch-ch on Friday 15 and Friday 22 September for seminars. Making it three weeks in a row could be a problem, especially as Mrs V has kindly reminded me that it's our youngest daughter's birthday that weekend..........:rolleyes:

Hmm May be able to change it to the 15th. REally should give my boss and co-workers more than a few weeks warning for me disapearing for a week lol.

But depends on Sniper, if he is cool with that day aswell and I just remember I havn't asked him if I could stay at his place for more than one night lol.

here's already quite a bit happening down south in September. Have a look at http://chatto-creek-mcc.tripod.com/id3.html for ones that I know of.

If I can make it at all it would only be the first weekend, depending on my roster.

Was thinking about the Pissed Penguin but me wanting to be in Auckland by the 30th has put that out of range. Don't want to be over tired froim being on the bike for 4 days while at a metal concert.

Well now comfirmed that I will be headed down to Christchursh for a few days so wondering if anybody keen for a meet up/ride? Dates not confirmed yet but hoping for around the first weekend in September so if peaple a bit farther south ( Scumdog, Virago, Jantar...) can't get up then let me know now if you're keen so I can work things out.:rockon:

Also what are the conditions of the roads down that way around that time of year? Will have have to worry about much ice?

Firstly the ice - if there's a frost in the morning then you take care till its gone - at that time of year it is getting warmer and the frosts lighter and generally they're gone much earlier. If there's been a clear night and a light frost then just be prepared when you come into dark bits of road that don't see the sun till late.
You're not going to come all the way down from Papamoa and then just stop in ChCh are you?? Apart from the POrt hills its the most boring place to ride a road bike. If you want to meet some of the Southern members then get on your bike and head South.

Nah I don't have spare 10k for it either wich is why the one I bought is only 7,200 lol.

There is one up northland guy wants 7,500 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports-tourers/auction-66892832.htm) for it but it's been bored out to 1440 so have a few doubts as to its reliability...

Cant see a lot on the Calendar for that weekend, so it might be a goer ;)

Few days when?

Seems Balfast is the common meeting ground, although rather not be forced to drink Harringtons again. Had a damn "red wine headache" yesterday.

Hear there is a new place opening up down by Northwood. One of my Collegues(sp?) neighbours owns it.

Never been too keen on Harrington's myself. Gota be something a bit more central witrhout parking problems

damn, just had a thought... I think racing at levels is on that weekend (might have to give that a go), so probably will be in Tmaru for the day. Might just have to meet up at where-ever we decide to meet up later.

Where do you reckon is good Skyryder? A more central location, tho I do so LUV Harringtons desserts....sigh...

Speight's AleHouse. The one near the new railwaystation. That's sorta central. City ones are too awkward for parking etc. There's a Harrington's on the corner of Fitz and Gloucester. Think it's still there. Unless they have off street parking I'd give that area a miss. I'd've got up too the SD one but did not see the thread until too late.

The 'Riviera of the South' is basically inland from Dunedin - not a day trip from Christchurch (not unless you like >1000km in a day)

Waylander

1st September 2006, 20:19

Is that round trip or one way?

miSTa

1st September 2006, 20:36

Round trip. I should've really said its south west of Dunedin too.

Waylander

1st September 2006, 20:38

Hmm.... Nah better not actually. Would mean only being there for like half an hour before having to head back.

Sorry Scummie but looks like you still miss out unless you do make it up.

Waylander

2nd September 2006, 14:31

OK guys, Pub should be one that is central city but hopefully not too crowded with pleanty bike parking (read big footpath) say 6pm friday night?

As for a ride, reading my motorcycle map of NZ, the banks penninsula looks fun. Start out in Chch City and head Via Main Rd to Sumner then Ewans Pass to Summit. Join in on Gebbies pass rd and either ride through to Motukarara for a feed or turning right when we join Gebbies and stoping in Teddington.

From Teddington
I'de like to ride out to Diamond Harbor aswell before finally heading back to Chch.

IT's not the full ride in here just parts that looked interesting with a relativly short ride time as some have things they need to do later that day.

Ruralman

Try South from Dunedin - about 45mins - but yes it would be a bloody big round trip.

Not much chance of finding a quiet pub with heaps of parking in the central city on a Friday night although I suppose if you snare one car park you'll fit 6 or so bikes into it. I guess all it would take is for a couple of bikes to get a couple of parks wherever about 5 pm and keep feeding the meter.
Alternatively there's always the Parklands Tavern. Fairly quiet and heaps of parking in the trees where the cages can't go. Oh yeah ... it's only 3 minutes walk from my place but that has nothing at all to do with my suggestion. :dodge:

Well it's not in the Central City. It's in the north east of the city ... on the corner of Mairehau Rd and Inwoods Rd to be precise. It's a couple of kilometres down Mairehau Rd past Burwood Hospital but would be dead easy for anyone coming into Chch from the north to find.

4th September 2006, 10:46

Nope, wouldnt suit alot of people dude. Would be about the same as going out to Harringtons in Belfast travel wise for heaps of people. 15 to 20 min from the city according to the maps and a hell for those coming from hornby or any of the other southern suburbs.

Something alot more central is better.

I think Im going on a recce today....

EDIT: X marks the parklands pub. If Im wrong for those wanting to travel there, thats cool too.

SDU

4th September 2006, 12:13

What about the Lancaster pub near Jade stadium or the Bealey Speights Ale house on Bealy Ave. Both are central enough without being in the middle off town. Be parking unless the rugby is on.

Silage

Nice of you to remember us 'Ornby folk Stu.

Be good to settle on a new KB gathering place and something centralish with good parking sounds good. Problem is that most pubs that don't get crowded are in the burbs.

Ghost Lemur

4th September 2006, 15:44

Thought about the Bealey ave Ale House. But parking there sucks. Drive past on a week night and it seldom looks like a free park.

Still recon the Ale House over by Bunnings is the best bet. It's not quite in town and yet still close enough that the CBD is literally 2 minutes away. There's also no shortage of parking.

Waylander

4th September 2006, 17:51

Ok well since I don't know Chch and my map book won't help me squat with a pub selection I'll leave that up to you folks. Just make sure it's one that is fairly easy for all to get to.

And if it's croweded, we arn't all big bad bikers for no reason are we? lol.

By all accounts (yes, I just reread this entire thread, god how I need to get out more) I'd say Speights Ale House next to bunnings seems to be the current favourite.

Any major dealbreaking objections anyone?

Oakie

5th September 2006, 19:36

Hmmm. How about a Saturday or Sunday afternoon KB 'information gathering' ride around all the suggested venues to establish the most appropriate? Seems the only fair way. Of course volunteers would have to be called for to sample a (small) beer at each location ... purely as a quality assessment exercise. To ensure the volunteers retain their ... umm... 'objectivity, perhaps it should be limited to about half a dozen venues?
(Or is this altogether too organised and contrary to the spirit of motorcycling?)

Tower Junction is:
Turn off Blenheim Rd heading south down Clarence St (Hirepool is on corner), it becomes Whiteleigh Ave 50m later.
Then first street on left at the lights, Troup Dr, you've now arrived at Tower Junction.

Hmm, remind Sniper it's your task to find Blenheim Rd ;)

Here's Speights Ale House website (http://www.speights-alehouse.co.nz/).
It has pictures so you know what to keep an eye out for and what to look forward to.
You just trying to confuse people? This website is for the pub in Bealey Ave, but you've already posted directions to somewhere near Hornby???
Anyway, I thought the local was the Wheatsheaf!!

Hmm, yeah, oops, my bad, it is for the wrong pub because that pub doesn't have a website, however, the pictures do look like the Tower Junction pub.

Hornby! :killingme, Tower Junction is in Riccarton, directly in front of the Addington Railway Station.

Wheatcheif,,, Is that at the Weetbix factory up near Northlands Mall? As you can tell, visiting pub's isn't something that I do

just found this thread but its a bit late now - i would have the thought the blues bar would be the obvious choice for a central location as its the only place in town u can get in with a leather jacket

someone mentioned al's bar - there is a jimi hendrix tribute on sunday with billt tk and kenny ackroyd (smoking jacket). not a bad way to spend a sunday afternoon

16th September 2006, 05:48

Pity you missed it Cynna it was another good night to catch up.

Waylander you have got your self a nice bike there and hope you have many happy miles on it.
I'm sure you will and it was great to put another face to a name.

Always loved going to the blues bar, but haven't been for years.

Good night last night peoples, not a bad wee spot, busy at first but got a bit better as the night went on.
Nice to meet you Waylander... and ya should have loads of fun on that bike :scooter:

I got back to Dunedin mid-afternoon yesterday - the wind was a bit of a problem near the end of the trip. One brief moment of excitement before leaving Christchurch, when a dick-head cager decided to make a right turn at a roundabout, from the left lane. I was in the right lane, and he nearly took me out.

Great meeting so many of the Ch-ch crew on Friday night.

Hoping Waylander got away okay today. I don't envy his trip north in this southerly blast - although at least he'll have a tail wind!

Waylander

19th September 2006, 19:27

There was a tail wind?!?!?! Shit man I had nothing but head winds all the way up to Picton!! Funny thing is no matter what direction I turned, it was always a head wind!

Love the bike and no idea what the reveiws are talking about when they say it handles like a bus... Was stable as no matter what speed I did in the corner.

Anyway, great to meet all y'all and glad you made it south safe Virago. Hope ya missus enjoys the new pack rack.

Sorry about the dissorginazation for saturday and the ride that didn't happen. Ended up having to change the oil, coolent and get the chnge of ownership, warrant, rego taken care of.
