North Western Riders

[toymachine]

Now everytime I see a bike on the way to work down the northwestern (hell anybike anywhere) I wonder if it's a KB'r or not... so, if you're a regular of the northwestern feel free to post your bike type, it's colour (hell even helmet colour)... and any other distinctives (i.e a givi on the back) so we (i) can get an idea of whos who...

I'm not heading down the motorway on the bike all the time just yet (short runs), soon enough will be, but on occasion if i'm in the cage I see bikes heading the whole way in...

You know it's me if:

It's a black bandit 250, black riding gear and a black helmet... with an L plate on the back.

[WarlockNZ]

Oh come on ... how could you possibly miss me .. LOL .. bright Yellow Hyosung, Black gear, black and sliver lid.

I'm the guy that looks like hes always laughing .. and it's because i am .. laughing at cagers stuck in traffic ... mu ha ha ha .

I'm looking at getting some decal work done .. so should look like this soon .

Yeah that looks the part aye mate?.....:niceone:

[R6_kid]

bike is in profile pic, got a silver/black helmet with a KB sticker (yellow square) on the back, and one next to my right mirror on the the screen. Normally wearing a blue/black jacket, draggins and my orange backpack.

For the police... this is actually a guy that looks like me and rides the same bike as me, but in fact is not actually me. Honest. No, seriously.

[gijoe1313]

I had a trip out to your ways last night, pootled around the back way via Avondale, got on/off Te Atatu way - went out to Westgate and had a bite at the BK's there (Hungers worst nightmare) and then tootled back home on the moronway system.

Did see another biker but didn't know if it was a kber, back out to south, hooked up with another biker who was going further than Takanini where I pulled off, we must have been kindred spirits since we both waved off at the same time!

Just tonight I was doing the big circuit to test my bulb replacement job on my instrument panel (my speedometer wasn't lit up at night!). Went from Takanini to City, Mission Bay, Newmarket to Remuera, through to Panmure, continued to Botany and then did a night run through the back blocks of Whitford/Alfriston/Takanini and now back home where I am typing this up!

Hope to have more rides out NW and stomping around your neck of the woods!:scooter: :yes:

[WarlockNZ]

Well I saw 6 machines on the way to work this Morning, including the mighty Fu on his ginny from hell.

[Swoop]

Had to educate a cage driver on the "give way to your right" rule this morning. I think he will be keeping a good lookout for bikes in future...

[Fub@r]

Well I saw 6 machines on the way to work this Morning, including the mighty Fu on his ginny from hell.

Scared the living daylights out of me when you had your arm stuck out of your car like that :gob:

Was an awesome lane splitting run this morning all the way from Te Atatu to Nelson Street. On the offramp I had to stand up to lift my bike over two wing mirrors :yes:

[McJim]

I have to laugh at the irony that the people who have posted their details so far (Fub@r, WarlockNZ, R6 Kid etc.) are all people you have in fact met 3 weeks ago on the way to Kaiaua.

Any excuse to show off the Ginny and Hyosung eh?

[GSX-RJIM]

Hi ya ya buggers.

1990 GSX-R 1100, blue & white Suzuki colours.
Black helmit
black leathers
fucking big blue bag on pack rack with work stuff in it.

[crashe]

Just look for my bike in my avatar.... you really cant miss me out there...
hovering out west.

Was out there on the nor western today shot off at Western Springs but came back up throu the Avondale, New Lynn, Kelston, Glendene to Tat South.

Then shot back down to Henderson to get my front brake disc.
Will be heading there again before 9am Saturday morn to get it fitted.

[Grantasaurus]

Hey, R6 Kid, do you work at St Lukes?

I've seen a bike matching your one parked up behind mine sometimes. I used to be the dork with the beat up Street Magic, now I have a ZZR250 (which is only partially pink, despite what some people say.)

Then i almost got taken out by an even bigger lorry that magicly appeared behind me!

--------

Can be seen zipping along northwestern most days and all over west aucks :chase:

[Swoop]

Blue ZX12, Black Jacket and Pants and a slow lanesplitter If I do, you probably all pass me daily.....

Might have seen you a couple of times. Do you have an angled, "half-height" pack rack on the back???

[dawnrazor]

It's a black bandit 250, black riding gear and a black helmet... with an L plate on the back.

very easy to spot then, you'd be the black splotch

[Hairy Buffalo]

I have a Green Kawasaki ZZR250.
I have just finished respraying it.

and to the guy that was behind me on the motorway tonight sorry if you were behind me for long but I moved over as soon as I knew you were there, first time filtering.

[toymachine]

Just about every morning I see a fella on a Yellow Ducati with a givi on the back... black and red lid i think.

Not sure if he's kb?

[GMGirl]

What time are you travelling on the North Western?

[granma2]

I travel the northwestern from Henderson to Kumeu, and back, Mon-Fri and I also wonder if all the bikes I see heading in the other direction are KB's.

Glad to see you guys are givin the cagers a hard time, I know I do.:2thumbsup

Saw the funniest thing last saturday.
A large maori gentleman pushing a mini chopper, with his helmet still on.: doh:
I dont think he appreciated our sense of humor, as we tooted at him on our way past.
That was on our way to Red Baron, to test ride a Honda VTR 1000. We had to have it, and so we bought it.

Damn nice bike, loud too!! Set off a few alarms in Glenfield Mall carpark. LOL

[granma2]

Just about every morning I see a fella on a Yellow Ducati with a givi on the back... black and red lid i think.

Not sure if he's kb?

Yeah I see him too, on 16. I think he comes from further out ,past Kumeu way.

[crashe]

Anyone seen Ernie the friendly tramp recently?

Yep I saw him tonight as I headed into the city to the hospital..

"Ernie" otherwise known as real name 'Sanchez' was there in his usual spot...
I tooted to him and waved.. and he waved back to me.

I havent seen him there for a while... as all the road works have been happening right there on his spot.



I ride up and down the nor-western a lot...... see my avatar... thats me on my bike.

[paturoa]

Ah ha! I ride the bronze SV650S, black ventura pack, black cordura/leathers along the Riverhead Coatesville Rd most mornings. Been waving at you for over a year now! Nice to finally meet you!

I ride Te Atatu to Albany via the above road daily at varying times.

[Krayy]

I was passed by a very wet looking Warlock this morning as he splitted past my kid-filled cage at Lincoln Rd. Props to all who braved the weather (I'm just about to get on the Hoonda to go into the city).

BTW, anyone live in Whenuapai??

[Lil_Byte]

Not enough traffic to need to split on the way to work in Dunedin. :jerry:

[Swoop]

Not enough traffic to need to split on the way to work in Dunedin. :jerry:
We have a surplus up here. Some will be dispatched to your location ASAP, containing a mix of colours, quantity of inhabitants and sizes. Unfortunately we are unable to supply any with basic driving skills though...:weep:

[awesker]

Ive only got a small commute on the north western, from westgate (i think thats it?) just to lincoln road then up lincoln to uni!
everyday i see a gn250 and a yellow vtr1000 (any of you homies here?) cruise up hobsonville road, im on the red&white cbr250 with white/red/all othershit lid and black/silver rev'it jacket.. man, i needa get some kiwibiker patches.

Not the wetest its been, but still a pain in the ass to ride in.. lol .. i'm out whenuapai way.

[Kwaka14]

Yup, that's me

[R6_kid]

Was pretty sure I saw R6 riding down st lukes rd today at maybe around 1:30ish... blue yamaha orange backpack...

might be me :shutup:

[R6_kid]

Any one thought maybe a cop could use this info for bad?!

exactly my thoughts, guess i need to get a new bag.

[crashe]

well I shall be heading into the city around lunch time to meet up with
Celtic_Sea_Lily at 12.40pm today who is in town at the moment.

[Krayy]

Well I did my first ride down the NW at 8:30 this am and bugger me, I'm sure Wilsons Carparks has shares in that thing. Started splitting as soon as I got on at Westgate and didn't have any breaks till Pt Chev when I got off.

WTF are all these idiots doing sitting BY THEMSELVES in their cages? Haven't they heard of car-pooling or buses? I reckon the coppas should pull over all single occupant vehicles and get them to prove why they should be there.

And after seeing the proposed roading plans that they want to toll the arse out of Aucklanders for, a third lane for the NW is scheduled for 2015. Has ANYONE who works for Transit ever driven this damn road? Get them out a few mornings and I'm sure they would up the priority. Can't see why the hell they'd work on more ditributors onto the motorway with it not having enough capacity for whats there now. Dumbasses.

Will be interesting when ever they do it, as being the cheap arses they are the toll lanes are going to be "barriered" between Westgate and Avondale. No doubt it will be a cheese grater style.

Did note though they didnt mention motorbikes for tolling

It was building up particularly early this morning. Sitting having breakfast and looking at it blocked up solid... Glad I got the bike back together for todays ride!

And after seeing the proposed roading plans that they want to toll the arse out of Aucklanders for
Toll roads can fuck off!
We have been paying roading taxes for years, and these retards have done what with the money? Paid for taniwhas to be moved, etc!
I will not be paying any fuc*en toll!

Didn't recognise you or the bike as one I've seen before. Couldn't figure out what the cage in the left hand lane was doing - looked like he either stalled or banged up the arse of the car in front - didn't notice any damage as we went past ;) Did notice the Bandit parked by the median strip on the way home though - didn't see a rider, but then again, was pleased the traffic was finally clearing up.
Seems like more bikes are out and about on the fine days & plenty using cages in the crappier weather. I'd rather put up with the wet than the extra hour to get to work. (yeah, I'm the DR trying not to wobble too much, unless I'm splitting, then it's fun to watch the cars drop back hehehe)

[Disco Dan]

saw a few bikies gimme a nod, driving round massey in my mini yesterday! felt a bit silly as it was nice weather! (but hey i only ride when im 100%, and then my brain was ahem..)

Whereabouts in west harbour are you Dan? I live just on Hobby road, work at the boat sales yard just before the marina shops - should pop in and give me a holla if ever down there.

I was behind a mini yesterday I think, on the 16 heading toward westgate - id just been putting the bike through its paces on the riverhead highway, in the wind and rain :rockon:

[paturoa]

shit wasn't even raining today and I only saw one bike onthe way in and one on way out.

in was an idiot on a blue/purple zzr splitting and darwin speeds and out was a red hoyo GT that I was holding up doing my nana splitting

i always wait for people to recognise me beforei split past them usually a nod from them or a hand signal...u neva know when they will start splitting eh

[Bruiser]

After 12 months I am finally up and about on the Wideglide. It has been repainted (got the spitfire dogfight thing going on) and you'll notice the limp if I'm off the bike.

Not on the NW MW at any particular time but do ride it a couple of times a week during office hours. I usually have leather bags on the back most days.

"Ups" to all you fellow westy motorcycklers!

I saw heaps of bikes today...
One rider on a very nice blue cruiser going towards Avondale around 3.15 to 3.30pm wont last long if they chop and change lanes without even looking or signalling.... even cut right in front of me as well as many cars... silly buggar never even looked in their mirrors once...

I did have fun with another rider heading through New Lynn up past Waikamete Hill..... we both split lanes at every set of lights..... we had fun. They were on a 750 sportbike

Hi Crashe.

I haven't hit the pool since the last swim cost me 3 days in hospital and a month of taking it easy with a nice little infection. The leg still has some slightly open wounds - even after all this time - so until they heal up I won't be going anywhere near a public pool.

But don't let that put you off - the exercise was great and I enjoyed it.

Off for a ride tomorrow so look out for a carefully ridden harley out west!

Cheers,
Bruiser

I wonder if the Yellow SV is me ???
The timing doesn't quite work, if I'm on dayshift, I'm on the Motorway city-bound 6:30ish ... or if I'm working nights .. I'd be westbound 7ish.
Could be me I suppose, how many yellow sv's can there possibly be in West Auckland ??

The timing doesn't quite work, if I'm on dayshift, I'm on the Motorway city-bound 6:30ish ... or if I'm working nights .. I'd be westbound 7ish.
Could be me I suppose, how many yellow sv's can there possibly be in West Auckland ??

from memory the SV came down Titirangi Rd, turned right onto Gt North and then rejoined avondale somewhere.

I haven't seen it since

In my cage today, dutchee pasted me on the way home on DR650.

Your head is on a swivel, you are probably the most alert rider I've noticed so far.

Anyone ride on the Northwestern yesterday (Thursday)... I rode west bound home at 7pm, crikey I had to hold on for my dear life and man it was cold compared to earlier in the week... I thought can't be worse than riding over the Harbour Bridge though I guess, that would have been well scary I reckon. :cold:

I ride everyday from Royal Road to Town on my Yellow VTR1000 with LOUD pipes and black ventura pack.

Normally around 8:00-8:30.

Sure did. Visibility was very bad over the causeway and I got hailed on 2x between Waterview and Royal Road.

Not good - and BLARDY cold

I was up and down the nor-western a few times yesterday...

I was getting a new front tyre on, so went for a blat up to Kaukapakapa to scrub in the front tyre and on the way back got stung on the left cheekbone..... ouch fucken ouch it fucken hurt. Not nice to get stung at 100km per hour.
Left side of the face is now huge.... off to hunt down some antihistermine...

Been meaning to post in here for a while now...

I'm a random commuter due to intermittent lectures at Auckland University and work in the CBD - I can be spotted at all times of the day - not usually at peak times luckily!

I'm really easy to spot, 'cos I'm the clown with the (off)yellow mohawk on my blue Nitro helmet mounted on the little red Bandit.

I go all the way to the NW at waterview from Laingholm, via Titirangi and along Ash st/Gt North Rd.

Hope to spot y'all on the Westie roads sometime...:yes:

Hey, I'm on RED 05 VTR 1000,with loud REMUS pipes, black weathers and a red helmet, usualy in my own lane, between the cars.
I start when it's dark from Te Atatu Sth to Penrose, back home between 3 and 4.

Hi Bulldog I think it was you I saw on Wed morning on motorway heading towards city about 8.20am between rosebank and the city. I caught up to you and passed you and you tailed me towards the city I think you got off at Newton road... just wanted to say gidday anyway, I have seen you a couple of times on the motorway. I will give you a smile next time and perhaps let you go first... heee heee. I was on maroon red VTR250. See ya next time.
