Responsible 250cc ride (23 or 24 September)

[Maverick]

Hi guys,
Here is the next ride I am running aimed at mainly 250cc bikes (but all cc welcome) for newer/beginner riders.
As with all the rides I run it is about a nice responsible day out for newer riders to gain confidence with their bikes and enjoy socializing with other KB members. It is not a race.

This event will be held on the weekend of the 23rd/24th of september. (one day)

Due to the current fears of some KB members, as to if these message boards are being monitored by the Police to "bust riders", The date, time, and meeting place will be disclosed by PM to any genuine rider who is known to myself or McJim at this point for now at least.
Further details will be forthcoming via PM shortly.

The ride will be around 280Km with stops for lunch and leg stretching, head counts and ciggis (if applicable),
start point will be central/eastish meeting around 10am
return time estimated around 3 - 4pm.

Stay safe, hope to see you all there,

Mav :rockon:

Update 21/9/06, Weather looking good sofar, Just letting you know I might be a little late arriving on sunday morning as I might be meeting a new member who doesnt know the way, so by the time we get out west we maybe be a few minutes late, shouldnt take too long though.

Dont forget PM if you have any queries or problems, check your invitations if you have forgotton the day/time/place etc.

[toymachine]

Should be good for this one, hopefully have the bandit sparkly too (if not with its new headlamps etc and cables just yet)

[McJim]

And what pray tell, does the esteemed weather genie (tm) have to say about the hallowed weekend?

You mean this weekend coming? or the one for the ride?

[McJim]

You mean this weekend coming? or the one for the ride?
Er...the eh Hallowed one? The weekend wot gets the pagan worship and all? The weekend of the ride dude. I'm trying to perpetuate the myth of the weather genie - don't want anyone to know you just look at the Met Service website and guess ....did I just type that out loud? Ooops!

Har Har, nice coming from he who was also looking at the same site going "I dont think its going to be any good". :p

[Maverick]

I have "Started" on sending out invites, there are quite a few being sent and you can only send 5 PM's at a time, so may take a while, Please reply to the invite and tell us if you plan on attending or not so we can get an idea on numbers,

Thanks for the laugh.

[Leong]

Just FYI,

Honda Riders Club are doing a ride to Kaiaua then back via Hunua starting 11.45am 23 September from Botany Honda. Probably best NOT to be going in the opposite direction.....

(EDIT: I see this was posted in a different thread!)

Cheers for the Heads up, we will be going in the opposite direction (as in different area, not same place different side of the road).

Edit, not the same day anyway.... or is it?

Dude, I dont think there is anything "funny" about trying to create a safe and experience building environment for new riders.

[R6_kid]

So, keen for the CoroGP? Last one to Whitianga from Coro town pays for gas.

Just don't lose your wallet in the bushes Gareth.

[Searchin']

I think these things are a bloody good idea.

Good on ya Mav!

[aff-man]

mate there is nothing wrong with the concept have been to a few and the actuality of what the event becomes is different.

Just found your title amusing thats all. Didn't mean to offend noone.

[aff-man]

Just don't lose your wallet in the bushes Gareth.

mate I think he should worry more about loosing his bike in the bushes.

[McJim]

Hey Aff-Man, Maverick..It's all good.

Maverick has run this thing 3 times so far -
1st time 7 attended - all 250cc or less. 1 group.
2nd time 16 attended - various cc 2 groups - fast and learners
3rd time 3 attended - all 250cc - 1 group.

The title is there to let otherwise timid learner riders know that there's an opportunity to meet KBers in a safe and responsible environment - which the group lead by Mav or myself is. The fast group will be told the route and the destination - they will get to pick 'a leader' should they feel they need one and we'll all meet for lunch.

Means there is a responsible environment for us noobs and the hooners can take their chances.

What I'm saying is you're both right really - Mav's group will be safe - the fast boys - you're only limited by your skill, your machinery and the boys in blue!

Mav :rockon:

Can you PM me some details? I've just sold my 'R' and picked up a Comet. Would be good to take that out for a spin.

[Squiggles]

if im not away to coro that weekend ill be there with my mrs, she's just got her learners but she'll be riding pillion (wouldnt say shes quite ready to go for any real rides seeing as my gn wont be fixed till after i get the new head sent to me) will probably be on the cx500, so i wont be hooning away from the group ;)

[WarlockNZ]

Sorry Lads, But i'll be missing this one as well. I have Inxs tickets .. hmm .. now i just need to find a date. LOL.

Just like add my 2 umm . 5, shit .. 10 cents in on this ride. I think Mav is doing a damn fine job and providing a well needed service, not only does he take the time to scout the ride first (i've been on a scouting mission with him) but he picks routes that will help 250 riders learn about the bikes they are riding and get valauble skills.

Hes not being paid for this, he's doing it because he loves riding and he wants to help out his fellow biker. I for one feel we sould all give him our thanks.

Keep up the good work Mav.

:first:

[gijoe1313]

Well said WarlockNZ, always good to ride safely and in a responsible group where sensible options can be taken. Learn heaps and build up a rapport with other bikers that fortunately (or not!) will be our peers in the future.

Plus its a great excuse to get out and ride! Which I will do right now! :yes:

[WarlockNZ]

Rock on you mad man!:rockon:

*pictures a maniacal warlock laugh

Had an awesome ride with fubar today (cept for having one little panic incident for some reason)... backways to helensvile, back towards bethels, up scenic drive, out towards huia and onto cornwallis for lunch. Was thinking should have invited some of yas along... it's a nice road to cornwallis.

[gijoe1313]

Rock on you mad man!:rockon:

Muwwahahhahaha! Just got back from doing Kaiaua/Miranda twice! Did the twisties and had a good old blat down the other parts! :woohoo:

Damn cagers had me doing the :dodge: when they crossed over onto my side!!! :nono: Bastiches! And this was on some of the tight corners...thank gawd I didn't take them too fast (nana speeds fer me!). I counted 4 Remuera tractors, 3 saloons, 3 compacts that I had to scoot over to ( I would have held my line but I didn't feel like becoming a hood ornament or part of their indicator set up! :sick: ).

Gas and fanged the poor Hornet when no-one was in sight on the straights :innocent: :sunny:

Right, time to iron a shirt, wear a jacket under the Dainese and ride off to town for a dinner engagement...don't wait up, I may be some time! :devil2: :msn-wink: :drool:

[toymachine]

I crossed a ford (the water kind :P) on the bike today :D

That was a first.

[Jeaves]

After work today i decided i'd skip my off ramp home and continued on out west to Red Hills Rd and the likes , was able to stretch the RG's legs a bit :clap: (within the limits of course :innocent: ) .

Later on in the afternoon the sun came out so i went to mission bay for a little tiki-tour and sat in the sun for a bit whilst having a ciggie . Excellent way to spend the afternoon :sunny: .

Hopefully the weather plays dice tomorrow , cant wait to get out again :scooter: .

[duckaddict]

Seems like most ppl had fun today. Well, I did my first (the much talked about) Coro Loop today, it was an excellent day!

Anyone who has not been down there should seriously think about it, those roads were made with us in mind :second:

Broke the piggy bank few days ago for a new one piece leather suit, lets hope it arrives soon enough for this ride next week.

Anyhoo, after 6-7hrs of riding now I'm all sore, but satisfied :yes:

[McJim]

Hey - does anyone know what sort of turn out we're looking at for the coming weekend?

I've been making all sorts of sacrifices (Housework/gardening/redecorating/babysitting etc.) to earn enough brownie points with the missus to get a whole day on the bike.

I even dragged Mav over to help till the soil at Glen McJim.

[toymachine]

I'm a 'maybe' at this point...

You in New Zealand now ...........

Slap her across the side of the head and make her cook you some fucken eggs.






































































then ask mav if you can crash at his place .......... lol :)

[Maverick]

Sofar I have 8 confirmed riders and 3 "I want to but have to see if im working/training/pimping that day"

So, if you know you want to come and you havent already, please let me know :)

Mav :rockon:

[Maverick]

I'm a 'maybe' at this point...

Make that 8 confirmed, 3 I want to's and 1 maybe :P

[Searchin']

Can't make it sorry guys. My folks are moving that weekend and it would be poor form indeed for me to blow off helping them to go riding.

[ArcherWC]

You in New Zealand now ...........

So should i send this to Sarah now, or wait till im at your place and show her, so i can laugh my ass off when she slaps you around the side of the head

[gijoe1313]

Gordon Bennet McJim, you got slave boys working for you now? Shoulda given me a bell, I woulda slung some clods - nuffink like volunteering for hard manual labor to remind you why you shouldn't!

Seriously, if you needed a hand ya barmy idjit I woulda mucked in - haven't shovelled fer a while and need to get the calluses back on!

[Searchin']

This just in! I am able to make it after all.

You may rejoice.

[McJim]

Cool - this run needs more V-Twins.

[TerminalAddict]

don't suppose you lads want to head south and hook up the okoroire pub lunch ride on sunday?

Just so McJim doesnt feel inadaquate about his lack of cylinders. :dodge:

[BarBender]

Just got the pass.
Will be there on 'Lil Red'.

[Theatre]

McJim feeling inadequate about his lack of cylinders? Spare a thought (and maybe a spare cylinder) for the monocylinder riders! The ability to singlehandedly melt polar ice caps and give baby seals asthma with a twist of the wrist makes up for any number of cylinders though :sunny:

[Searchin']

VrrrrrRRRRRRRRRR

That's what I'm TALKING ABOUT!

:rockon:

[McJim]

You just got home too Searchin'?

Mav is suffering from piston envy - coz our pistons are twice the girth of his....yeah!

[Jeaves]

McJim feeling inadequate about his lack of cylinders? Spare a thought (and maybe a spare cylinder) for the monocylinder riders! The ability to singlehandedly melt polar ice caps and give baby seals asthma with a twist of the wrist makes up for any number of cylinders though :sunny:

i'll spare a thought for ya :drinknsin , its kinda like only having one testicale....until the powervalves kick in:headbang:

[Searchin']

Yeah, I'm on holiday and I've been out riding all day.

Went over to Cooks Beach then up the East side of Coromandel, across to Coromandel town and back home via Thaems and Kiawa(sp?). A pretty good day. Great windey passes in the hills before Coromandel and the coast raod is awesome. V-Twin - great for windey hills :)


Looking forward to this group ride! It's gonna be cool!

[ArcherWC]

My little VeeTwin will be there too :cool:

[Maverick]

Awesome, it will be a really good day.

[Hellraiser]

My little VeeTwin will be there too :cool:

don't you mean pennis?

[gijoe1313]

Awesome, it will be a really good day.

You've talked to your weather genie already? Looks like it'll be a good ride fer shure then! :chase:

[Fub@r]

Toymachine here on Fub's comp:

Looks like it'll be a good turnout but i'm hesitant to go...

My ol girls not sounding quite right, and I still went for the ride on sunday... had the little bandit absolutely screaming the whole time to keep up with the big bikes (mmm vvt sounds so sexy....) but i've got it booked for a service for wednsday next week... so perhaps I should wait 'til the next one rather then risk it...

Though I would say i'd go just to help mav with the inline 4 cause... but i'm sure he'll be fine since everyone knows they're better anyway. And any post in this thread from here on out only proves the point :P

[Maverick]

Hey Guys,

The weather report sofar is looking alright, I would recommend people still wear something weatherproof just in case we get caught in an passing shower, Dont know about anyone else but im getting impatient already! :)

[ArcherWC]

Well i cant make it now :-(

Hello you.

Are you coming tomorrow?

[rookie]

hey mav

cheers for the invite.

I wont be able to make it to this one due to multiple reasons.
It's not all bad though...i will be hitting the road during the afternoon and taking out a fresh new member of the motorbike commuinity for a gentle ride on some real roads (corners will be involved).

im still real gutted though man!!!!
AAAARRRGGGGH!!!!...push bike just doesnt cut it!!...dam withdrawls

[WarlockNZ]

Hello you.

Are you coming tomorrow?

I'm thinking about it ,... unfortunatly i have a lot of stuff to get done tomorrow ..mores the pity ..

Mind you ... Mav is considering joining me on my run to Taupo .. that should be fun :)

[toymachine]

Been roped in to helping my sister remove all their renovation rubbish so far... so that's me out. Gutted, but probably best for my bike (nice service coming wednsday, then i'm starting the process of cleaning it up)..

Have fun guys... *gandalf* keep it secret... keep it safe (keep it sexy!)

[Maverick]

Lol, hey every one.... hope the ride goes well today :D

Jaz

[Hellraiser]

Sorry guys i forgot it Round 7 of the wildman serries at Ardmore on Sunday and i don't have enough brownie points to be able to do both. So count me out for this one.

[Searchin']

Thanks to everyone who came, you all made it a great ride. Special thanks to Mav for putting it all together.

It was great to meet you all in person... putting faces to aliases and all that.

[Theatre]

Got the call from work just as I was suiting up this morning :mad: . Looks like the weather genie came to the party too, didnt see much rain.

Hope all of you that went had a great time and heres to hoping the saturday worker doesnt pull a sickie for the next ride!

[crashe]

Not sure if you are doing the ride out south on Sunday... as it says the dates for saturday and Sunday...

But if it is Sunday....... please watch out on the southern motorway in the morning / early arvo.

Brockie memorial cruise - Holdens galore on the southern motorway.

See this thread in Trade Me and read the first post for details etc..

Would hate for the bikes to get all tangled up in this event... as they are expecting hundreds of cars.

[duckaddict]

thanks mav - nice routes (and fog :laugh: )

:scooter:

[gijoe1313]

W00t! Great ride out - good to put some more faces to nicks and talking bikey things in general. Interesting view that Maverick took us to see...it was like...white...and foggy... :yawn: Purloined a copy from Helen Clark's opening of the lighthouse or something like that - tried not to be hit by speeding motorcade doing 160+ on narrow rural roads! :lol:

Will get some photos posted laters when I can be arsed editing and resizing and ... you get the idea <_<

Great group ride, nice to see everyone being sensible but I also had a bit of a snigger when I saw gareth_d doing his "Look ma! No hands!" and "Whee! My legs are free!".

Sorry to see McJim peeling off early, methinks domestic emergency? :baby: Hope all is well.

Kudos again to Mav for organising and doing the scouting (I think its an excuse just to do more riding! :lol: )

Too much typing, must keep riding!

[McJim]

Great day - enjoyed myself - welcome to the new faces Sallo and Searchin' - good to meet you.
My peeling off was not really an emergency just that I HAD to be home by 4:00pm sharp and I realised at the lighthouse that I wasn't going to make it. I did warn Mav that I would probably hoon my own way home. Went out Thursday night and today - no brownie points left for me for a while - maybe a fortnight before I see anyone out on the road again!

The beautiful sea views Mav raved about were about as interesting as the inside of a ping pong ball. Effing fog.

Good news is my new number plate has arrived too which means people will know it's me on my bike.

[R6_kid]

Great group ride, nice to see everyone being sensible but I also had a bit of a snigger when I saw gareth_d doing his "Look ma! No hands!" and "Whee! My legs are free!".

Gee, what a silly guy. He didnt do any wheelies did he :Pokey:

[McJim]

Gee, what a silly guy. He didnt do any wheelies did he :Pokey:

No - he didn't do any wheelies after most junctions and didn't do a stoppie in Harris road......and I observed the speed limits all the way.

that's why it's called the responsible 250cc ride.:rofl::killingme:

[gijoe1313]

I was late arriving to the 9.30 kick off due to my old's washing machine springing a leak, McJim txted me and apparantly I gave back some gibberish and then he phoned me and still couldn't understand my kiwi accented gibberish.

"So, you comin' or what?"
"Yes! Be there in 10 minutes!" sez I,
"Don't get a speeding ticket willya then!" sez he!

So on my bike, my son
I did sally forth
On the straights I hit the ton-
And realised I was heading North!
With sheepish grin
And fanging the revs
To Harris Rd, so we can begin!

Beneath are the usual rogues gallery of ne'er do wells and cuthroat merchants as has been gathered. Supped well on the fumes of petroleum products and shooting the breeze, waiting for their tardy member...

No prizes for guessing who the retard with a kb member sitting in his backpack is! :rolleyes:

[gijoe1313]

Pika pika, pikachu pika! Pokemon pika pika Chu! :yes: :scooter:

[gijoe1313]

So making our way through Botany into Clevedon and out to the twisties of the Hunuas, much riding was celebrated and certain was our cause!

T'was fine, t'was overcasted, but with two wheels, brightness is near at hand!
We few, we merry few - we band of brothers (blessed with one sister)
did don our gear, visage terrible to behold
With petrol tanks full to brim, weapons of riding
We charged with no fear - we let slip our throttles and cried "Havock!"
And unleashed our engines of mayhem! With 250 caged cats we rode like scolded felines!

The short break after the twisties saw Maverick with a most perplexed countenance. His prized spectacles had been made into a spectacle since he had dropped them and someone had o'er ridden them!

He was not dismayed, he was not paled, he doffed them on and let his engines revs wail!

Onwards and upwards, to Waiuku we shall wend! Be not dismayed, be not disheartened gentle reader - next instalments shall be a corker!

[gijoe1313]

At Waiuku way, we growled to a stop -
Famished stomachs and parched throats needed refreshing
A sight to see, steeds parked side by side -
And into Kentish Pub we dived!

Forsooth, well met publican and barmaid wench!
Lubricants imbibed, cloven hoof beast devoured,
Carbohydrated starch sticks fried consumed,
We liberally languished in the limpid lounge,

With the mercurial Sun heaving into the sky
and fighting the encroach of Moon's dark domain
We fled the establishment - ashamed at one of our own
Yellow skinned and red dotted Pokemon
Could not hold it's liquor and acted misbegotten!

Supped on two flagons of malted hopped products,
Slurped down one glass container of Jack and Cola's finest
Dashed to table and had to be lifted clear!

Tarry not here any longer gentle reader, scroll on down or
find the next journals posting of the salubrious crew,
And their travails down to the back and beyond!

[gijoe1313]

Final Destination in view, Maverick's reputation as a libertine,
rascal, mendicant, supplicator and harlequin well founded,

To Manukau Heads we espied, for white with mist enclosed -
Droplets of liquid sunshine played with our passing,
Roads slicked with moisture, bovine defecate,
The joys of gravel sides and steep ravines unrevealed...

Much mirth and dilletante discussions were aspired to -
Full of fart, piss and vinegar we strolled
Of facts and figures amusing, oh how droll, very droll

Lighthouse on Manukau's Head discovered anew
Turns out Right Honourable Helen Clark had just done the opening
Lucky us, not to be hit by their travelling entourage at 160 plus!
We shot the breeze, the walk up hill made us wheeze
(We weren't all that sorry to eventually leave!)

To home we roared, emboldened by our derring-do
Not least, by the antics of a certain Pikachu!
Our bold band of brothers (and one blessed sister)
broke apart, such tenous bonds divided by the hour

Thoughts of home we turned, filled up at Caltex, Waiuku's gain
Split off half at Drury's maiden gates,
Another gone at Hunua's twisty gorge, good bye mate
Till Maverick and gijoe were laying the rubber down

Till Clevedon passed, and we rode alone - a knocking on my helmet
Pikachu piping up "Pika, pika-pika Pikachu?" *

* translated from Pokemon as : "Are we there yet?"

Postscripte :

1. Agin' th'big McJim is bleedin' bluddy in tha'photo again!
2. The last photo is apparantly what we meant to be able to see on a good day. Bollocks.
3. I think the fog and mist was to stop pig hunters shooting at the Right Honourable Helen Clark when she was lit up by the lighthouse
4. No correspondence will be entered into, all ideas that are good are mine, any that are daft belong to McJim.
5. For some reason we had to walk up to the lighthouse instead of riding our bikes up. Why have bleedin' ferk'n rides if'n we don' use da daft things?

[gijoe1313]

Unless its them Autobots vs Decepticons! Hemmingway? I prefer Givingittoherthatway! Canterbury Tales? I'm a Wellington Supporter! Kant and Voltaire? Bugger them! Give me Donald Duck, Spiderman and Ren & Stimpy anyday!

You're on a 2 stroke - we won't be able to keep up with you.

you are joking.....right!? :o

[McJim]

Ben was out on a Kwak 2 stroke 150 and made me feel embarrassed that my 250 couldn't keep up. Mind you thanks to RRRS and a couple of evenings chasing the Dover on his Gixxer thou I'm able to push the VTR a wee bit harder then before.

But yes - I am joking. I expect you will wait for us at junctions!

Look forward to meeting you on the run.

Aah yes, but ben has impeccable taste in both the model and colour of his bike. Not all of us can have such a cool bike!

RRRS is great though, highly recommended.
