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!!
No worries. I'm not sure how txts work, but it's possible I was out of the coverage area or something... But still, any excuse to get a new phone!

Well, did you guys go anywhere and do anything last evening?

Buckbuck took charge...we did the Wainui Coast Road and back to the Lifeboat pub at Eastbourne. Good turn out considering the rain checks.
Shame the nights are drawing in though. How was your evening, Hitch? You must be knackered, mate!

Rain checks? Were you out riding in the same city as me? Did the earth move where you were? Why do stars suddenly appear?

ceebie13

1st March 2007, 07:55

Wow.. looks like the weather was 100% better over your way... bugger it!!

Er...just a bit. We took one look at the grey stuff clinging to the hill and decided it was a no-no. And with loose gravel on Piecock, we wisely chose coast road.

Just wanted to say thanks for a good ride-out last night - as a noob it was my first group ride and everybody was really friendly and chatty. The pace was just right too (only got overtaken by one 250!), and I learned alot from following some of the guy's lines :rockon: - the guy with his daughter on the back was a pretty good guide as to the severity of the next corner too!

Thanks Rich for the invite, will defintley come along to some other rides too :Punk:

Yeah, thats the trouble I've been having lately. My mate wasn't getting my txt's until hours later or even days. We'd be sitting in a bar having a beer and he'd get a txt from me asking him what he's up to tonight. Bloody annoying!!

that was no guy with his daughter - that was knight rider with his little sister on the back! :gob:

Yeah sorry it was the first time I've been down there and I had no idea how severe the corners were (just using Knight Rider's brake lights as a guide!) so was probably braking a bit too much - seemed easier on the way back though :yes:

Well, when I followed you to Eastbourne, I was quite impressed that you didn't appear to be braking into the corners. (No brake light coming on) I assumed you were engine braking. Perhaps Wasp was a bit too close and felt the best thing was to pass you.

Thanks for compliment :yes: your shiny helmets looked good too!

I tend to use engine braking most of the time, although maybe I should check my brake light too :laugh:

I've no probs with people overtaking (never been called dangerous before, I'm soooo proud!) coming from a trials background anything over 50kph seems ballistic!

Fact of life with txt'ing I'm afraid - nothing to do with the age of your phone. Told my kids a million times but since its very quick most of the time they don't believe me.. Oh well..

If you want realtime comms - voice is the way!

Wasp

1st March 2007, 10:29

I didnt mean YOU were dangerous Matt, just the way I was following - trying to pass a bigger bike on a 250 is no easy feat - with you pulling away due to better acceleration out of the corners by the time i caught up it was the next corner, hence i was going faster into the corner and both braking

I would normally have just backed off but had others behind me (that plus passing the cbr250 infront of you is a wicked achievement for a bandit)

still, you're not slow by any means!

happy to help :) & yup it was my lil sis & was my first time on that road 2 so I just took it easy. with the lil sis on the back i took it even easier :) I got overtaken by a 250cc who i saw catch up very quickly & didn't wana hold anyone up so I just slowed down and indicated left to say go past. Was a very nice ride even the lil sis had a blast. thanks guys am gonna miss these rides as it's back to work for me next week :(

Wasp

1st March 2007, 21:14

oooh, im so proud :first: all these people talking about me catching up - the speed i had before the bin must be returning! :D

I thought you were going fairly quick with your sis on the back there knight rider, it was my responsibility to pass you - you letting me past was appreciated but not neccessary (i would have backed completely off because of your pillion)

i'll be out and about ;) will take charge too so decide on the night, its not hard to figure out though - there are 6? possible options take away 2 for gravel take 1 cos its boring take 1 cos its now 50ks and we're only left with two

oooh, just thought of another option.... but nah sad good memories attached to that one plus it was a bit short that night even with the extended bit

Over the hill to kapiti would be good. Back along greys road.

Grub

7th March 2007, 10:21

But did you see the earlier post about avoiding Haywards Hill???

I think I can safely call it for you guys. It's 90% OK now, most of the pea metal has gone. Just normal sensible riding is required.

At the Pauatahanui end, the whole road was rough-chip sealed and that is now pretty clean, just be careful of between the wheel tracks. If there's any metal at all that's where it will be.

2 km further nort the surface changes from smooth to chip-seal and there has been some repairs done. These are on the corners and they show up as strips lighter than the rest of the road. They're right on the line through the middle of the corner but any alert5, vigilant, sensible riders will be aware of it before they're upon it. Everything past Battle Hill is fine

7th March 2007, 13:40

Yep! I can confirm the Haywards is undergoing treatment of the gooey chip variety. Took a while to de-chip and de-tar the underside of the CB. Bloody stones get stuck in all sorts of nooks and crannies.

See you all this evening.

I had to pull over directly after the roadworks and then spend half an hour getting the stones out of my drive belt and pulleys before I could carry on when I went out that way last night. Hopefully the belt isn't poked.

All that effort and the road surface is just as shitty as it was before, dips and bumps and corrugations everywhere. What a waste of time.

pity you didnt make the trackday, would have been cool to have a brother out there

Thanks for the offer man, but i'm planning to get one shortly. Not being able to ride is actually encouraging me to save some cash. If i get a quick fix, i'll probably forget about it.

Outta interest, what tyres are you running on your bike? I'm in for a new rear soon, which is another reason why i'm gutted I didn't make it to track day.

It was still wet and drizzly at the toppermost of the Haywards and then I got stuck behind a truck with all its associated spray. Nice. Lovely. Fabulous! Crept along SH2 like a nana to alleviate the stinging drizzle. Now then...where's that clear visor?

Right now, things are pretty extreme here. Will add the 1pm reported weather shortly but 120kmh winds predicted and the coast road is madness. I didn't bring my sleeping bag to work either :(

Surely we have to schedule one last end-of-year ride next Wednesday, even if it is a short ride and a long social occasion.

Seconded. On the urging of my better half I called today as a "work from home" day and am not regretting it. Other than the bit where I went outside to nail part of the house back on.

I sure as shit won't be going for a bike ride unless I absolutely have to.

Last year TCWNR went on after daylight savings ended for those that were still keen.

Apparrently they fizzled out simply because of darkness and cold - which makes sense.

Actually, this house wot we live in isn't the cosiest on days like this. The owners scrimped on heating, knowing it was being built to be a rental.
It has two electric wall heaters to its name!! We were forced in to buying a portable gas heater thingy which will never win any design awards for style.
Despite the great view from the living area, we can't wait to get into our new place....

And whilst I would love the cat lolloping over me, my 4 would be horrified and I'd be held to ransom for treats for the following week at least.....!

Short ride tonight (Haywards/Grays Rd) but a great group at the Sandbar. As Wasp said, we had bad sun strike coming along Grays ... so there all you wimps.

First time I have seen BuckBucks new bike - thats a bit bigger than the Ginny eh?
And the last TCWNR for PheonixGTR, good luck in CHCH mate.

If the weather's good I'm keen, but I think that might be like saying "If I win lotto I'll quit work" - not too much chance of it happening, me thinks.

6pm departure from the duck pond.

Wasp

11th April 2007, 13:13

oh er... depart at 6? not arrive at 6?

i dont beleive you! i tried this last year and the welly crew whined that they weren't fast enough to get there in time....

hsvboy06

Wasp - Sels suggested an earlier start a few weeks ago and nobody whined...

We are going to give it a go for at least a few more weeks I think, but trying an earlier departure - so folks, be at the pond ready to depart at 6pm(ish)
Then again, I'm not sure enough people have turned up since then for there to even be a ride...!

So what are your new wheels rwh (I hope you did not turn up in a car again) Sorry couldn't make it, more meetings. BTW I hate white lines in the wet.
I was on the gas and rear touched the white and fishy everywhere...

No, the car has a stuffed front disc at the moment, and I can't afford to fix it because ...

I splashed out on a 93 Suzuki GSX750F on Saturday - after getting my full on Tuesday last week :rockon:

Edit: it looks remarkably similar to the one now in my avatar (from the Clymer manual cover).
