TCWNR - Wellington 2006/2007

[Shadows]

Ahem...

Are we on topic here?

Yerp, Wednesday. Comes after Tuesday. Every week.

[alexthekidd]

Yeah it was the single white lines and there were no cars coming, just didn't realise it was a cop or i wouldn't have done it, cop in an unmarked car, no lights even on the dash and not wearing a police uniform, i'm assuming the lack of lights is why he had to follow me for 10 minutes and then trap me in, rather freaked out tho when suddenly some car has trapped me in and then as i'm taking my helmet off a hand touches my shoulder and then suddenly a big overbearing man is standing behind me.

oh yes, wednesday, otherwise known as hump day to some, generally a ride happens

[COP_B8]

Its been 4 months so.......IM BACK :) all legal too, kinda..... :innocent: just gotta hopefully get the bike WOFed on wednesday. only issue might be the brake lines, but will see you all on wednesday.

[Wasp]

BLUE? BLUEE!!!!...... you retard..... press undo/ctrl+z

[COP_B8]

BLUE? BLUEE!!!!...... you retard..... press undo/ctrl+z

haha....dont think thatl change it.....looks lot better in person, dodgy photos in the garage at night dont do it justice, still got graphics to go on!

Whats matter wid blue?

[Wasp]

dunno, never been a fan of bright blue and really liked the two-tone purple

by the way was the two tone purple like a stock colour or something? there is a cbr250 exactly the same shades near my brother flat in jville!

[Wasp]

I feel really stupid at the moment - i left my cold stuff at work and my hot X buns too :(

so expect a cranky and sick wasp tommorow

nah wasnt standard, was the colour changing purple paint on the tank and rear tail, and just metallic purple on the rest.

Definately not standard.

[Wasp]

yea well as said this was a 250 in the EXACT same colour, I thought it was yours untill i realised it was a 250

I'll get a picture of it some time

[sinned]

The weather is looking to be great. Where are all the 250s who missed out on last weeks little run and the lemonade, chips and chat afterwards? Who is on for it tomorrow night? The Wairarapa is calling for a visit.:sunny:

[Hitcher]

Hmmm. I'm currently "rationing" my rear tyre. Maybe Mrs H may let me borrow her stead...

[Wasp]

Sorry, couldn't ride without a properly fastened chain. lemonade sounds niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[sinned]

Hmmm. I'm currently "rationing" my rear tyre. Maybe Mrs H may let me borrow her stead...

Good idea to change stead. I would like to see it.

[Dafe]

What to do???

Footy practice starting Wednesday nights now. I may have to alternate.
So see you guys next week.

Wot? you need practice?

Only 6 more TCWNRs till daylight savings ends folks, make the most of them.

[MikeyG]

As opposed to the cranky and well wasp we are used to?

[MikeyG]

If I can make it out of the prison they call work on time and feel motivated then I will come

[Slayer]

Damn it, rear tyre is poked!!!!!!!!!!

New one tomorrow, so no ride for me this evening all, enjoy, the weather looks shit hot!

[Freakshow]

Just some advice before we start this ride tonight!

How am I best to get the hot tar off everything after the ride!

Silly roads!!

crc or wd40. (the latter is recommended for alloys and aluminium according to a contact in the aviation industry)

[hsvboy06]

I won't be there tonight (just in case anybody cares...)

[sels1]

I won't be there tonight (just in case anybody cares...)

We will miss you Simon....really....

Weather is looking good for the Takas, and the Rapa crew are heading there too, with the Tin Hut the designated refreshment stop.

[phoenixgtr]

Won't be there tonight. Yesterdays ride was enough (according to my better half)

[Grub]

I am a 50/50 possibility as I'm currently car-bound and trying to finish a paper

[James Deuce]

The Herald or the Dom-Post?

I may make it, though it is a Bandit 250 upon which I am mounted.

[MikeyG]

I'll be stuck at work until six so doubtful that I will make it.

[Terminated]

Would have joined you this evening, however dropped Golf November Two Five Zero off for its 12,000km service.

Heads Up and Enjoy

[phoenixgtr]

12,000kms!! Well done!! I remember not so long ago when I met you at the top of the Takas after your first ride up there. Geez, you'll catch me soon. I'm coming up to 20,000.

[Lissa]

We will miss you Simon....really....

Weather is looking good for the Takas, and the Rapa crew are heading there too, with the Tin Hut the designated refreshment stop.

There should be someone from the Rapa Crew up the top of the hill, I'm not sure if I will do that or just wait for you guys at the tin hut.

Somehow me tinks I won't catch you:scooter: I recall you zipping pased me one evening back from the Tin Hutt.

[Wasp]

GEEEEEZZZZZ THEY'RE BREEDING!!! cool :D

[COP_B8]

Its been a while so, do you meet at 630 or leave at 630 at the duckpond?

[phoenixgtr]

Usually leave about 6.30

[Shadows]

I won't be there for the next few, I'm getting some stuff done on the bike and then off on holiday for a couple of weeks.

[James Deuce]

GEEEEEZZZZZ THEY'RE BREEDING!!! cool :D

It's actually a total laugh.

Like it a lot. It may be that I like all bikes though, even *gasp* Hondas!

[Moxy]

Ok. I'll be there.

[elle-f]

Yep, Kinje, Lissa and I will be at the top - Thought I was ridden out from yesterday but it turns out - I'm not! I cant make next week so gotta do it today! See you there guys and be safe:)

[biggles1]

Sorry can't make it tonight guys, all ridden out after 986 kms in the South Island in the weekend.Give my regards to the Rapa crew(Lissa,Elle33 etc) sounds like you all had a Great Day Out yesterday.

[Hitcher]

I was going to bring Mrs H's Marauder along tonight (rationing rear tyre on the FJR) but it wouldn't go. Goodness gracious me!

[James Deuce]

Didn't get away from work until 6:30pm.

[skelstar]

Missed you tonight J2. Was looking forward to a lazy chat.

[James Deuce]

Oh no, what did I do this time?

[skelstar]

Might be better if I bring it up in the performance appraisal next month.

[James Deuce]

OK, someone infract him, that's just mean. Language like that on KB........

[alexthekidd]

GEEEEEZZZZZ THEY'RE BREEDING!!! cool :D

hehe they certainly are :msn-wink:

hoping to be there next week fingers crossed

hope you guys had a gud ride

:Punk: :Punk:

[Wasp]

Hey guys, racey rider needs a bed sunday night for a job interview Monday morning - I personally cant help him out but surely somebody can?

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=43616

[Freakshow]

So who is allowed out tomorrow night??

[Wasp]

I'll check with the misses..... oh wait... no misses.....

im in :D

[sels1]

So who is allowed out tomorrow night??

Probably be there (negotiations not finalised):innocent:

[phoenixgtr]

I'm looking like a goer. Yeehaa!!

[ceebie13]

Are we men or mice? Allowed out!! Do we have to ask permission? :yes:
Will discuss it tonight with 'er indoors.
If tomorrow's weather is anything like today's then it will be hard to resist.
Methinks a coming together of the Wellingtonians and Wirey Rap Artists might be in order... ie: The Tin Hut??

[Lissa]

If you guys are coming over our way, I might meet you at the duck pond... get in as much riding as I can... going to be brill weather. :sunny:

'On ya Mel. we aim for 6pm meet an 630 departure. You can txt if change plans.

[unhingedlizard]

i'll be out too. Just moved to welly. only two minutes from meeting place to.

[Kinje]

Yeah, could boost over with Lissa. Gotta see this famous duckpond...and a trip all the way over takas and back rather than a half trip to the top and back down :rockon:

[Wasp]

Gotta see this famous duckpond...
It isn't as good now that the elephants are gone :(

[Lissa]

Me and Brent will shoot over to the duck pond.. should make it well before 6.30pm, thats if brent can keep up. See you all there.

[Wasp]

I'm thinking of going up the takas early but dont have quite enough time between 5 and 6 to get there and back....

will bring my powerball and camera tommorow :)

[Lissa]

I'm thinking of going up the takas early but dont have quite enough time between 5 and 6 to get there and back....

We arent leaving until 5.15pm (earlier if I can brent organised) you could ride with us from the top of the hill to the duckpond if you like.... but with the elephants gone is it worth the trip to the pond? :(

Whats the powerball?

[Wasp]

do you know where the duckpond is? I could meet you at rimutex?

the powerball is my new wrist exercise machine, i did a thread about it and there is a picture next to my name up there ^

[phoenixgtr]

the powerball is my new wrist exercise machine,

As opposed to your old wrist exercise machine. We can all imagine what that was...

[Freakshow]

Bugger bike is in the shop and I am keen to ride, anyone got a spare bike??

[Kinje]

It isn't as good now that the elephants are gone :(

Gutted, I was really hoping to have a ride on one before we left :crybaby:

[Wasp]

reckon you can get your knee down eh?

[hsvboy06]

Apparently the fact that today is Valentine's Day is not stopping my mother in law coming over for dinner, as per usual on a Wednesday, so I'm definitely going for a ride! See y'all there. (I'll try and be at the Paraparaumu Mobil by the lights at 5:30 if anyone wants to meet there.)

[phoenixgtr]

so I'm definitely going for a ride!

Haha!! Brilliant

[Wasp]

Haha!! Brilliant
Agreed :D :first:

[Lissa]

the powerball is my new wrist exercise machine, i did a thread about it and there is a picture next to my name up there ^

Yep I know where the duckpond is... lived near there for a few years.. thanks wasp.

The weather should be clearing, dont quote me though, for some reason I have no control over it :(

now to look at this powerball thingy

[Trudes]

Just to repost: Careful on the hill this avo if you go over, mower's been up there mowing the sides of the cliff faces and showering the road with stones and shit.

[Grub]

I believe that the Nasty and I are contemplating the ride tonight, although you couldn't blame us for not being there. She hates the hill with a passion and I hate puntures with a passion.

Ha - good one Si. I'm going to head over earlier - prolly closer to 4

[Slayer]

Might just have to show up this week. Has definetly been awhile since I have shown my face at one these, and I also need the ride! Getting sick and tired of this wretched peak hour traffic, driving me nuts!

[Lissa]

Me and brent are leaving about 5.15pmish... if I kick him up the bum it might be earlier.

We should be at the duckpond (crossed fingers) by 6.30pm, hopefully sooner if Brent doesnt hold me up .. :innocent:

Will txt Sels1 if our plan changes.

[hsvboy06]

Is it 5pm yet?

(Sitting here, bored, looking at the blue sky and the flag wafting gently in the breeze, wishing I was out there riding... Tonight should be primo!)

[Kinje]

Only 1:53 Ahhh I'm with you hsvboy

Struggling to focus, mind on riding tonight, voices in m...

[ceebie13]

Bugger bike is in the shop and I am keen to ride, anyone got a spare bike??

Theres a few down Vivian Street...

[unhingedlizard]

17.13 fourty five mins to go!!

[Freakshow]

Have a good ride guys I am bike-less so have to miss out BIG BOO!

[Skunk]

Theres a few down Vivian Street...Just don't take any that are in the side driveways. One might be mine.

[Hitcher]

A trademark run to the Tin Hut. I don't know what people were complaining about earlier, the Takas were just fine. A lovely night for a ride. The days are starting to draw in now though.

Mustn't play with boi racers... (Actually they were female boi racers)

[Wasp]

good ride, nice to meet you Slayer and Hamish, good to see madboy again too :yes:

pity I couldnt get ahead/catch up to take some action shots of people in corners but oh well next time :yes:

[ceebie13]

...or stall as the lights change eh, Hitch...very uncool!! Catch you on another one hopefully.

[Hitcher]

Way uncool. FJR's don't accelerate particularly well from a dead stop in third gear, so I discovered.

[Lissa]

Hmm had the same problem going to the duck pond ... try doing it in 2nd. I didnt get to talk to you hitch... didnt know you were there.. oops. Wasp, would love some photos.. make sure you do take some next time!

[ceebie13]

Wasp, would love some photos.. make sure you do take some next time!

So who was it standing at the bottom of the hill then ....snapping away as we were en route to the Tinut?

[Lissa]

So who was it standing at the bottom of the hill then ....snapping away as we were en route to the Tinut?
Hmm not sure... because as you may not be aware, I took off first... and because I am so awesomely fast on my Ginny I got to the tinhut First!! Yay... (needed to go to the loo actually)!! :D

[Hawkeye]

Sorry I missed it tonight. I had other things planned early on so ended up just going for a blast by myself about 8.30. Maybe next week!

[ceebie13]

Hmm not sure... because as you may not be aware, I took off first... and because I am so awesomely fast on my Ginny I got to the tinhut First!! Yay... (needed to go to the loo actually)!! :D

Actually, you were pretty quick up the hill, Mel. I was behind you. You have great confidence on the corners, and pretty good lines too. Well done. I felt for you though when you overtook that car...I could see what you meant the other day when you said the Ginny was gutless. Did you change down a cog when you went to overtake?

Also, someone decided to shoot past the group leaders on the lead up to the hill and got short shrift and a very close call from an oncoming vehicle.
I wasn't too impressed. Dunno who it was though. Might not even have been in the group.

[unhingedlizard]

Hmm not sure... because as you may not be aware, I took off first... and because I am so awesomely fast on my Ginny I got to the tinhut First!! Yay... (needed to go to the loo actually)!! :D


Nothing quite like nessity:scooter:

That was Wasp...I think we were mostly past before he had the camara sorted


Mustn't play with boi racers... (Actually they were female boi racers)

They were "waving" at me as I came up behind them on the hill - I waved them goodbye as I went past.

Another classic ride to the Tin Hut - twenty odd bikes including the 2 'Rapa crew who came over to the duckpond - well done Lissa and Kinje.

For a bit of variety hvs06boy and I went home via the Akatarawa road - that was an exercise in concentration in the dark! Dodging possums and clouds of bugs.....but all good fun

[Wasp]

That was Wasp...I think we were mostly past before he had the camara sorted
yea couldnt get there in time, i wanted to set up on a corner and try get some action shots but the bike flooded its carbs at the summit and take awhile to get going

better luck next time :yes:

[ceebie13]

....twenty odd bikes...

Nothing odd about mine, you speak for yourself!!

[Trudes]

I don't know what people were complaining about earlier, the Takas were just fine.

Just wanted to report my findings, wouldn't like to hear of someone skidding on some stones on a corner and coming off when I could've warned them about it.:sunny:

[Lissa]

Thanks Rich!! I love the hill now, just need a bit more practice, am aiming to go up and down the hill at LEAST once a week... watch out when I get a bigger bike ;)

No i didnt change down gears... something I have to practice as well as learning my lines, its good to get some feedback on my riding.. cheers!! :)

Was a nice ride... riding all the way to the duckpond, me and kinje enjoyed it.

[Wasp]

am aiming to go up and down the hill at LEAST once a week... watch out when I get a bigger bike ;).
once a week, hahahahahhah sorry but I remeber the day I did the hill 22 times yes 22 - spent the whole day going over again and again then out to the ffish for lunch then back at it again, I was way faster back then thanks to Bruce

now my riding is uncomfortable, jaded, scared and lazy.... i need practice and to get my a into g and start riding properly

[Lissa]

:shit: Well maybe I might spend a day doing that then, you want a race.. hehe.

Well Bruce was going to take me over for my first ride and show me the lines... but I think I'm doing ok.

Hmm think I might BRING my camera next time... and leave 30 mins before the rest of you, so I can get to the top first and take piccys :)

[Wasp]

sure, i was thinking this saturday but think my parents are going somewhere and expect me to babysit, should be good for the day though

You really think you can keep up with me? ;) If the weathers fine, pm me!!

[ceebie13]

This I must see!

[sels1]

Nothing odd about mine, you speak for yourself!!

sigh...there's always one....:laugh:

Actually I swapped bikes with bungbung at the top of the hill so he and his best pillion could experience the pleasure of Tiger travel.

[ceebie13]

I think the pilot found it interesting in an enjoyable way and the pillion was well pleased. I enjoyed the VTR too, its fun to have a go on something different. Didnt take long to get sore wrists tho.

haha, i hope you're joking..... I'll be happy to sit behind and watch though to see if i can give any help

[big ego]before the bin there wern't many who could keep up - just ask the slower riders (found in front of me these days). or pgtr or kobe or skellytor or lbtw[/big ego]

its sad because the downhill feathers side which was my fastest is now wrecked :(

[ceebie13]

... I'll be happy to sit behind and watch (

...yeah, I bet you would, Wasp. Wouldn't we all?? It's a nice view after all! :laugh:

Hi Knight,

Work permitting, I will probably be turning out this week. I won't know until nearer the time but I need to blow the cobwebs off the new beast as she's been sitting locked up in the garage for the last 3 months. I'm still getting used to the difference in power and trying to get the gear changes smoother so the TCWNR is a nice 'no pressure' ride to work on them.
We won't have many of these nights left, as the clock change appears to be approaching far too rapid.:crybaby:

A few of us come down from the Kapiti Coast you may be able to hook up at Pauatahanui. But the duckpond isnt hard to find - head south from Haywards til you see the the turnoff (left/east)to Avalon over the Kennedy-Good bridge, (I think its the 2nd set of traffic lights) go over the bridge and voila! the duckpond is there on your left.

We leave Paraparaumu at 5:30 so it would be about 6pm when we get to Pauatahanui. Exactly who "we" are (last week it was me and myself) isn't usually clear until on the day.

thats ok I'll be ther just before 6pm (weather permiting) you'll recomise my bike from my profile. Thanks

[ceebie13]

Assuming that this glorious weather will continue unabated till tomorrow night at least, then you can safely assume...(what a lot of assuming in this post?)...that I, myself and, I assume, Bex aswell will grace you all with our presence at the duckpond at about 6pm...I assume.

[unhingedlizard]

What the hell is this doing on page two??!!!??
Anyway, who's going tomorrow? Come on, dont be shy

[Freakshow]

Assuming the weather is fantastic and Assuming the bike is finally sorted, one would assume I would be there!

[Hitcher]

I still have some available tread on a rear Conti Road Attack, so will have a last pre-Storm fling, all other things being equal.

[hsvboy06]

For sure, for sure... My plan is to depart Paraparaumu Mobil by the lights at 5:30, pick up Southerners at Pauatahanui Challenge approx 6pm, then blat over to the pond...

Just don't ASSUME I'll actually make it! :rofl:

[sels1]

Assuming all other things that need to be assumed, I assume I will be there also

[knight rider]

assuming the weathers fine. I'll be meeting sels & anyone else at challenge. Then making our way to the duck pond

[bungbung]

I'm on roof painting duty this evening. Have a good one.

[James Deuce]

It's Tuesday today bungbung. See you tomorrow.

[bungbung]

ahh, I see what you're doing there...

goody

[knight rider]

we be 2up 2moro as my little sister wants to come for a ride to. Since it's a cruisy ride I though why not. so keep an eye out for the gsxr 1100 2up 2moro night. See you all there (asuming the weathers fine)

[quallman1234]

I may come along, but im not too sure if the routes a bit too advanced for me? and the fact i wont know anyone

Where do you guys normally head too?

[James Deuce]

Don't worry about the route Quallman, people will look after you, as it is a cruisy ride designed for newbies and those after a quiet bimble, rather than a hair on fire tyre shredder.

[wilber]

One way to is come for ride ,meet some people then you'll know some wont you , more than likely go to the tin hut for chips and drink of whatever and yes assume I will be there too.

[Nasty]

Hopefully the Grub will go ... so he can text me where you are heading .. won't be through on a teleconference will 6 ish maybe 6.30 with Australia :) .. so may catch you up somewhere one route... :scooter:

[ceebie13]

I assumed wrongly that Bex would be coming along. She has just advised me that she won't (work commitments).... so I'll be there on me todd.
Whoooooooooopppieeeeeeeee...... oh, hello dear. OUCH!

[sinned]

I will be there and have installed a stebel air horn. Demos for free at the Duck Pond.:yes:

are 15 year olds allowed in pubs? they won't be drinking alchol

[alexthekidd]

I'm 15 and i've been to a few of these, never had any problems in the pub, closest it came to was when they asked for a parent, and good old sels was there :lol:

[Hawkeye]

I've just sent you a PM with my number.

[elle-f]

Hang on - is this ride over the hill today?

[ceebie13]

..... not too many Wednesdays left till end of daylight savings!

pft...I cant afford to save at night let alone daytimes.

[hsvboy06]

Hang on - is this ride over the hill today?
It's often not decided until we're at the pond, but given the weather forecast is perfect I'd say there's a really good chance that we'll be headed your way...

[phoenixgtr]

I've got the "do what you want" from the missus so I'll prob see you guys at the duck pond. I've got a new tyre to scrub in. Should be fun...

[Freakshow]

I've got the "do what you want" from the missus so I'll prob see you guys at the duck pond. I've got a new tyre to scrub in. Should be fun...

Is that like a bronze pass, allowed out for the ride but straight home? or is the Platinum pass, out all night no questions asked??

[Trudes]

Hey Freakshow, love the new avatar!!
And the "do what you want" is a bit like "whatever" and the classic female "fine" (with teeth clenched), it means, you can do whatever you like, but you will pay for it later!:bye:

[phoenixgtr]

Is that like a bronze pass, allowed out for the ride but straight home? or is the Platinum pass, out all night no questions asked??

Hmmm...good question. I think it's more like "I don't really want you going riding but I know you're going to anyway so if you're not back early you're going to be killed."

[kelbaby]

Hmmm...good question. I think it's more like "I don't really want you going riding but I know you're going to anyway so if you're not back early you're going to be killed."

Hahahaha!!! :laugh: Yeah bro.... i'd say thats exactly what she means

[Slayer]

Wellington
Morning cloud clearing. Northerly winds. Max 25.

Masterton
Fine weather. Light winds. Max 29

Kapiti Coast

Therefore, wherever we go, it's gonna be a corker!!!!!

See you all this evening.

PS. 59 days to go until the greatest show on earth.

[ceebie13]

... but given the weather forecast is perfect I'd say there's a really good chance that we'll be headed your way...


Hmmm... it doesn't look or feel very "perfect" from where I'm standing at the mo(looking up the Hutt towards the hill). But at least its dry.

[ceebie13]

PS. 59 days to go until the greatest show on earth.

What's this? Another of your golfing tournaments?

[Slayer]

Ceebie,

Please see attachment for the greatest show on earth!

Unfortunately, no to the golf, but this weekends golf was great, only took 3 holes before I threw a club in anger.:angry:

[Lissa]

Hmmm... it doesn't look or feel very "perfect" from where I'm standing at the mo(looking up the Hutt towards the hill). But at least its dry.
Its going to be 29!! It is perfect... like always-ish. :yes:

[ceebie13]

Please see attachment for the greatest show on earth!



Damn...Damn!! It clashes with Rolf Harris at the Westpac St James.

[wayne708]

will try and make it tonight as I need some last minute training before our trip over the Takaka Hill this weekend

[Grub]

"I don't really want you going riding but I know you're going to anyway so if you're not back early you're going to be killed."

Which is followed not long after by ...
"So what time will you be home?"
"After the ride"
"What time will it finish?"
"I don't know"
"What do you mean, where are you going?"
"I don't know"
"Well you must know what time they finish"
"Not really, it varies"
"Whatever!"

Gotta luv 'em :)

[James Deuce]

Why is it raining out there?

[bistard]

Why is it raining out there?


It can rain today,so its fine at Manfeild this weekend!!
Its that simple

[bistard]

OOOH look I just did my 400th post

[Grub]

Well done Bistard, it's not raining out here in Kapiti, I hope it's not raining for the ride tonight.

Meeting up with whoever at Paraparaumu Mobil at 5.30, Pauatahanui at 6.00 and duckpond 6.30 ... se y'all there.

[hsvboy06]

Why is it raining out there?

Oh, you've gotta love the weather forecast... A little while ago it said Wgtn was going to be fine today, but now that it's "raining" they've changed it to "some drizzle". The forecast for Masterton is still :sunny:

[elle-f]

its stunning here at the moment - boiling hot.....wairarapa

[hsvboy06]

it's not raining out here in Kapiti
That depends on your definition of "raining". There is definitely water falling from the sky now. It's not getting much wet, but the cars are starting to wipe their windscreens. (Waiting to see how this develops...)

[Lissa]

its stunning here at the moment - boiling hot.....wairarapa*knock on wood* that this doesnt jinx things and we get the rain. But its bloody hot here, and blue sky. :sunny: You guys live on the wrong side of the hill!

[bistard]

Very light drizzle here in Taranaki St
But my point is,I dont have my R6 at the moment,have lent it to a friend,his bike has broken down & I want it to be fine at the weekend
All of you need to get to Manfeild to watch the racing,you will be amazed.
Practise Saturday & racing all day Sunday

[quallman1234]

Rode home its spitting hopefully wont get any worse.

[Wasp]

she'll be right (says the guy with holes in his not very waterproof at all leathers)

[knight rider]

[knight rider]

awesome ride guys was a nice easy pace 2. My lil sis loved it lol think she could be our next biker chick lol. Thanks again. Will try to make it 2 next weeks one before i go back to work :(

[sinned]

A very pleasant ride and a great turnout. Counted 35 bikes at the Tin Hutt.

[Hitcher]

Certainly a great night for a ride. The days are sure starting to draw in now. And I'm starting to look like a French fry...

[wayne708]

SOOO did anyone see phoenixgtr tonight or was his bronze pass pulled at the last minute? oh, and great to see a good turn out

[Deano]

35 bikes ...bloody impressive.

[knight rider]

the person who took the photos of the bikes at the bottom of the rimutakas before featherston. Did you get one of me & my lil sis?

[Lissa]

I have a pic from the tin hut in our wairarapa thread.

Next week, I'll take some pics of you guys arriving up the hill.... if you come this way.

[Terminated]

Great to catch up with you all. 35 bikes good rollup.

Thanks Slayer for the feedback on the ride back over the hill. Appreciate it.

Heads Up And Enjoy

[quallman1234]

Thanks for the great ride :).
Got some new points to work out.

It was a great turnout and everyone was bloody nice (my First Wednesday night ride for me :))

Nice to meet you Buckbuck and ill see you later in the week :).
Cheers Kyle

Heads Up glad you enjoyed the ride. Now for some slow bike control routines later in the week.

[Grub]

Another great KB moment tonight. The Tin Hut was great again (notice how it's getting colder?), the hill was magnificent (the setting sun behind us going over instead of in our eyes going home.

My count of bikes was 29 left the duckpond, we picked up 1 before Upper Hutt, 5 came from the 'rapa and finally another 4 joined us late after a trip up the hill and back - 39 in all ... some kind of record?

[dazz]

Loved the ride today, ashame its comin to an end! definatly keen to get my hands on sum photos taken at the botom of the hill..

[knight rider]

me 2 :) would love to see them

[unhingedlizard]

errr.... wellll...... Turns out I had the lens cap on all the time, which wouldn't have been much of an issue had I actually turned the caera on in the first place.




Only joking.
Will get some on here soon. If you want me to email all the ones I have of you, send me an email at redstripes@slingshot.co.nz with you email, bike make, model and colour and your helmet colour (so I noos which ones to send you see) and I will send them.

Quality is not as good as hoped but OK, will take big lens and get some of you lot coming up hill next week. Try not to ride up each others bums too. Makes it a bit difficult.:yes: :Punk:

[sels1]

Another good run to the Tin Hut. That must about be our largest turnout, despite a few regulars not being there. (lost yr pass, eh pgtr? lol) Good to see a new few faces - welcome along guys.

[Slayer]

Great night and ride everyone, I enjoyed myself immensely. Great turnout too, nice to see the 'rapa crew also.

My pleasure on the feedback Buck Buck, just more wheelies over the hill next time eh?:yes:

PS. Only 58 days to go everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:Punk:

[phoenixgtr]

SOOO did anyone see phoenixgtr tonight or was his bronze pass pulled at the last minute? oh, and great to see a good turn out

Thats the second week in a row I've said I'm coming and haven't made it. I'm not happy. Bronze pass wasn't pulled. I still had the green light from that end, just last minute things to sort out. Now I'm getting twitchy. I really need a decent ride!!

Looks like you guys had fun anyway

[RantyDave]

Good ride last night - we're starting to get pretty short of time at the tin hut though.

I talked to a few people about suspension set up, how messing with mine had made a huge difference that that there was a "l33t secret URL" that tells you how it's done. Kinda.

http://www.moto-racing.co.uk/Guides/motorcycleSuspensionSetup.htm

I like the look of that, thanks Dave!!!:rockon:

[ceebie13]

Yep! A very pleasant time. What better way to spend a balmy summer evening. Shame there's only three more left before DLS kicks in. Thanks go again to the main instigators from both sides of the hill. Cheers, Sel 'n Mel.

Don't like to see newbies on the sidelines though. Just muscle in...we don't bite. Well, Hitcher does..but then he's just a big bully!

[Lissa]

Cheers, Sel 'n Mel.
Hey your a poet and you dont even know it!!!

When I came back down from the hill I have to say I was pleasently surprised by the amount of Welly People!! Good on ya!

With DLS coming in, will most certainly bring my camera next time, and set up somewhere on the hill to take piccies... although DLS isnt going to stop me from doing a Wed Night Ride still.

[hsvboy06]

It was a great ride last night, except that it was a bit of a fiasco in terms of being a "group ride" for newbies (and there were a couple). A far cry from this (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=883820#post883820). I think the main reason was because we didn't have a pre-ride briefing to tell everyone what was going on - having a "leader" is no use if nobody knows who it is! Let's fix that next time. Last night the leader arrived at the Tin Hut after the sweeper!
Otherwise, it was all good, and I look forward to next week.

Oh, and btw, the fish 'n' chips at the Tin Hut are gooood! :yes:

[unhingedlizard]

err.. that was partly my fault.

Slayer and I buggered off early from the top to get to the bottom to take some snaps. Not everyone realised this and so confusion got a foot in the door.

Sorry

[Lissa]

Oh, and btw, the fish 'n' chips at the Tin Hut are gooood! :yes:Oh that was YOU scoffing a feed last night!!! Name tags are in order... but wouldnt trust you guys not to swap them over. :mellow:

[hsvboy06]

err.. that was partly my fault
No, not at all - confusion was well in the door before we even left the pond!

[ceebie13]

So where's all the photos then? The suspense is killing.

[unhingedlizard]

So where's all the photos then? The suspense is killing.

told ya, send me an email at redstripes@slingshot.co.nz with you email address, bike colour and make and I'll send you all I have.

[dazz]

Did you get my e-mail? haha..

[unhingedlizard]

Did you get my e-mail? haha..

If you're talking about the chocolates and bondage gear you left on my doorstep i told you man, i dont swing that way.

[hsvboy06]

So, who's going this week?

I can't make it to the pond, but I hope to catch you up along the way, if someone could txt me the destination...

[phoenixgtr]

I'm going to say I'm not going because the last 2 weeks I've said I was and I didn't make it. I've got your number though, so I can txt you

[sels1]

I will be in Whakatane or Tauranga this Wed so have to miss out.
Have a good ride.

[Grub]

Whakatane is one of my soul places. Loved living there in Ocean Rd, Ohope (nice ride over the hill too)

Somebody moved my Tues night committee meeting to Wednesday at 6.30 ... so that's me done for

[Wasp]

I s'pose I'd better post and say there WILL be a ride on this wednesday before everyone backs out cos no one is going >.<

I WILL be there

[Freakshow]

I cant make as business meetings are taking over my riding time!!!

[hsvboy06]

I'm not going... so I can txt you
Hmmm.... :scratch:

[phoenixgtr]

Hmmm.... :scratch:

Don't worry. I plan on being there

[unhingedlizard]

I'll be there too. Camera in hand. I plan on leaving early and getting some snaps UP the hill this time. Far enough away so people dont think I've binned it and slow down.

[Hawkeye]

Can't make this week. Have a good ride folks...

[Hitcher]

Wedding Anniversary tomorrow. The Big Two Zero. Mrs H and I will be doing something suitably commemorative and romantic, that may or may not involve the conjugal usage of (a) motorcycle(s). TCWNR doesn't quite fit the bill...

[Dafe]

Happy 20th Anniversary Hitcher.

So you haven't decided to do what I did on my last anniversary. I had a big box of bling bits turn up from the U.S.
So naturally I spent the night fitting them, then the desire to have a ride couldn't be helped!

TCWNR: I'm all clear at this stage, so see you guys there.

[alexthekidd]

so is nobody from kapiti going except me......aaaaargh!

[Trudes]

So what you're really trying to say Hitch, is that you and the good wifey will be bonking all evening and we are not to disturb you.:mellow:

Hey everyone, tomorrow evening is free for all on KB, and feel free to use as many small words as badly as you can!:shutup:

[alexthekidd]

Jeez aint that a lovely thought for every1:sick: happy anniversary anyway....:rockon:

[Wasp]

Congratulations Hitcher!

Just a small note the hill that we've done for the last 3 or 4 or so weeks? probably won't be the destination (still will be voted on the night though so might be). - if you dont like it then you can mind the newbies eh? eh? volunteers?

[sinned]

I organised my last anniversary for a non TCWNR day. Yep I will have to be there.:yes:

[ceebie13]

So what you're really trying to say Hitch, is that you and the good wifey will be bonking all evening and we are not to disturb you.:mellow:

Such stamina!! and at Hitcher's age too!! Keep it up!
Congratulations to you both. :rockon:

Rich & Lyn

[quallman1234]

[knight rider]

[alexthekidd]

no kapiti riders tonight?

[unhingedlizard]

I'll mind the newbies. That fact I'm barely outta diappers myself souldnt put anyone off.

[hsvboy06]

no kapiti riders tonight?
Of the kapiti regulars: Sels is a no go today; I haven't heard from Grub; I'll be going but I'm not leaving until after 6pm (and I'll be going wherever phoenix tells me to go, which somehow leaves me feeling a little vulnerable...)

Alex: you can at least meet up with knight rider at Pautahanui (see earlier post)

[hsvboy06]

Wedding Anniversary tomorrow. The Big Two Zero.
Congrats. I have the not-so-big One Zero next Wednesday - still way too far off for me to know what I'll be doing! (It'll be interesting to see what the MIL does...)

[phoenixgtr]

(and I'll be going wherever phoenix tells me to go, which somehow leaves me feeling a little vulnerable...)



Haha. Be afraid, be very afraid...


P.S. Congrats Hitcher. Have a great evening!!

EDIT: If ths weather holds out I will 100% definately be going

Grubs got a meeting tonight ... so is a no go as well :scooter:

[sinned]

Not too many putting their hand up to go tonight. There will be a couple of nice SVs anyway. The big Harley will be there as well - Vtwins are go.

[ceebie13]

I'm not sure what to do tonight. Being as what I live in Riverstone, Bex and I may just go for a whizz over the hill and have the usual pint and chip at the "Tinut". If we see any of you there, all well and good. If not...all well and good. Enjoy!

[ceebie13]

washing your hair?

Which one? He's hardly got any!

[Shadows]

I think I'll probably see the Harley and raise you another one.

[alexthekidd]

i can;'t quite recall who it was who i spoke to about bringing weight bars last week - this week has been a very long week, but if whoever it is see's this before they embark on their journey to the duckpond could they please please please and i cannot emphasise enough....PLEASE remember to bring them

Cheers in advance

Alex

[quallman1234]

Ill be there :), ive been praticing lots and lots over the hills recently and feel alot more confident, ill just take it really easy and will have a nice safe ride :).

See you guys there.

[ceebie13]

Well considering the number of opt-outs this week, I thought it was a bloody good turn out. Well done to all of us. Thanks go to BuckBuck for making the duckpond speech and thanks also to the sheep on the Wainui Coast Road for getting out of the way! And a big hello to new recruit and fellow Riverstonian, Matt. Whose ER-6 and broad Yorkshire accent got a lot of admiration.
And thanks for introducing Bex and me to the Lifeboat pub...never been before.

[knight rider]

another awesome ride thanks so much everyone lil sis & I had alot of fun. However it's back to work for me next week so won't be able to come on anymore tcwnr for a while. buga :yes:

Thats a bugger mate. Was good catching up with you again. Keep that 1100 on the leash!

Thanks for the ride tonight everybody. The group stayed together rather well and everybody got a good blat at their own pace out to the coast.
A beautiful night to ride the bays out Eastbourne too.
Yes, A very nice little pub - The Lifeboat Tavern.

Boy, the locals ain't thick out there. When they saw us turn up they were quick to que at the bar and get their orders in ahead of the 23 bikers.

[quallman1234]

Good turnout tonight! had heaps of fun and found my own pace behind the harley :), thanks for the ride guys it was fun hopefully ill see ya next weds.

Ive got a couple pics ill post from when i took em with my phone at the beach.
p.s if you didnt know who i was im the guy with the only adventure bike there :)

[Terminated]

Good to catch up with you all. I discovered the Lifeboat earlier this year and shortly afterwards we had a Sunday afternoon/evening ride out to the Wainui Coast and back to the Lifeboat.

Just thinking out loud perhaps an end of daylight saving ride out there might be on. Say that Sunday 3pm Duck Pond - watch out in the calendar.

Heads Up and Enjoy

[quallman1234]

Ohh the horrible quality should of took my digi cam

Bugger :(, Well good luck!, I was going to wait for ya and see what was happening but i saw at least 2 people around you so yip :rockon: .

Catch ya later

[hsvboy06]

Well, I tried to join you all, but by 7pm I hadn't got a txt (phoenix is not my friend any more ;-) so I decided I'd just go to the top of the takas and back home. I got a bit worried riding through the hutt when I couldn't actually see the takas because of the clouds, but I continued anyway. It turned out to be dry (apart from a line of sheep shit) all the way to the top, and I was having fun, so I carried on down the other side (some damp spots, but no rain). I meant to turn around at the bottom, but once there I thought I might as well blat out to the Tin Hut just in case you were all there... there was nobody there and in fact the lights were off! So, back over the three hills and I got home about 9pm.

A warning to anyone doing the Paekak hill: there are some (well sign posted; 30km/h) bits of new seal at the bottom on the Pautahanui side, with lots of loose gravel atm - take care.

[phoenixgtr]

Well, I tried to join you all, but by 7pm I hadn't got a txt (phoenix is not my friend any more ;-)

I'm sorry mate. I sent it!! I feel really bad. It's time for a new phone I think. It is 5 years old. Dammit!!

[Wasp]

Mines phone is older :D

OI Alex, remember it could be the other side too - also could even be something not related at all but just shorting out (probably is what we think though) - i know diddly squat about bike electrics
