South Auckland Thursday Night Ride

[idleidolidyll]

from where
to where
i don't know auckland that well, i been in a course in ponsnoby 9-4 each day

oh goody, didn't you red rep me or moderate me into the sin bin or something?

perhaps you did the same for crazy steve

revenge is sweet, come along to the BP Autobahn, that's the Motorway service station just south of Papakura. Time, about 6.30pm (not too much later or at least pm/txt one of us if you are going to be late)

we SATNR chaps and chapesses don't bite, honest occifer

[Lula]

I will be there this week either on something really expensive or something really cheap (all depends on the condition of the slick on the really expensive one) :scooter:

[idleidolidyll]

I dunno,
might be out of town yet, depends on the speed of my production guys

[idleidolidyll]

From Lula's link:



Of 110,000 registered bikes in NZ, 11% are owned by women.
Of that 11%, 26% are riding bikes over 750cc.
Women riders make up only 17% of all Motorcycle crashes.

So let me extrapolate: Only 11% of bike riders are chicks yet they have 17% of the accidents.

There are therefore 97,900 blokes on bikes, 12,100 chicks and an indeterminate number of transvestites, 5th sex's etc.

lets divide that down to an even 1000 overall by % to make the numbers easier to fathom. 110,000/110=1000

97900/110=890 blokes
12100/110=110 chicks

If there were say 1000 bike accidents per year amongst the total, then 830 of them would be by guys and 170 by chicks.

830/890=0.93258 accidents per bloke rider

110/110=1 accident per chick rider

On that basis, chicks are 7.2% MORE likely to have an accident than blokes

The obvious point therefore is that blokes are better riders

Thanks for that raw data Lula..........................chuckle

[idleidolidyll]

Lets continue a bit:

Off and on for a fair while, many of the bikes I rode were registered to my wife. I rode them much more than she did. She NEVER ever bloody ever rode my bikes (vertically challenged). Even when I almost never rode her bike/s, I always rode at least 5x as many km's per year on my own bike/s.

If that is a trend in the community (chicks owning bikes ridden by men and men riding more km's per annum), then the 11% of chicks actually ride significantly fewer road miles than blokes and, on an accident per kilometre ridden statistical scale: chicks are WAY more likely to have an accident than blokes.

Any of you floosies need some lessons? I'm quite cheap ya know.

[scottjpalmer]

Sorry all - I'm out this week. Got AMCC bar duty!

I hope you can handle their glassware more successfully than you can handle your own glassware.


I'll be there, bring the big expensive beasty please Lula :-)

Hope to see your good self and Mrs Idleidolidyll this week. Korumba you coming this week?

Jafar? Din?

[Mr Merde]

Spending this weekend rebuilding my bike.

Too many bins and it looks pretty sad.

Parts all ordered and paid for.

She wont be pretty but she will be road worthy.

Give me a few weeks putting the bitch back together and I will join you once again.

One of The Dovers original SATNR riders.

Yes Merde get that bike up and running,I have still not been for a ride with you….
See everyone else there tonight, weather is looking good.

I'm old now.
Bones get brittle at my age and after my last little misshap; the doc informed be that, after inspecting the X-rays of my entire spine, my back was "fucked" (his word for a medical condition I suppose).

I still have my moments but far more cautious than I was a few years ago.

Sharron has been on at me ever since aboiut getting a car licence so this week I sat the theory and failed. Got 4 of the specific questions about cars wrong.

Destiny.

She is still going on though and it looks like a resit will be forthcomming.

[idleidolidyll]

It's a sad day when a biking bro is converted to the dark side, just get a sidecar so you can't fall over; surely that'll satisfy your wench bro

[idleidolidyll]

I'm in tonight.
Looks like I'll be on my best behaviour as Mrs Idleidolidyll will probably be on the back seat (yes, that means I'll be on the Beemer instead of the Katoom.

[Gwinch]

I'm out guys, I've started my CAD course and that runs from 6pm to 10pm every weekday. I may still make the occasional ride but for the most part I can't attend! :(

Its QUICHE!:bleh: nomnomnom

[jafar]

Sorry all - I'm out this week. Got AMCC bar duty!

It's a fine night for a run too,:girlfight:

[Korumba]

Well what a clusterfuck that was.... bikes all over the Bombay's.
Still all but 2 made it to the prearranged destination, so apart from that, excellent drinking guys and gurl! Not to mention the Hot Dogs and Hot Rods.
See you all next week for some more fun and games.

[caseye]

Nicely put that man.
Great night for it though.
Good return run cheers fellas.

[idleidolidyll]

After I went back to find Din and Caseye then returned to that intersection you'd all fucked off. Went up that road for a bit but it soon became a 50km suburb again and couldn't see anyone.

As I said at the BP, I don't know many interesting roads out that way, just too many suburbs and straight roads. I wasn't interested in a short ride to the same pub every week so I decided to go the other way and had a great ride finally popping out on the coast at Miranda and riding back up through Kawakawa and home.

Maybe next week but sorry, if its Paddy again, I'm out for Winter.

[Korumba]

Last night was a cock up, ride wise but I for one enjoy going to the Paddy.
I also would like to ride a longer distance if it is a nice night so I cant see why we could not venture on more of the roads east of the motorway (we did last week around the hunuas) and arrive at the pub a bit later say around 8.00.we can cover a lot of ground in an hour and a half.
I attend this ride for the company and a good night out, the ride to wherever we turn up is half the fun.

[Lula]

Ho'Bung and a back-firing outboard.
To be honest I really go on these rides to hear the boy banter, down the odd hot dog and listen to Jafars creepy laugh :drool:

Good to see Crazy Steve put one out there for the Hot Rodders - was a knobbly now a slick!

Oh and thanks Din my jacket still stinks of burning rubber :clap:

Good company and a safe ride what more is there?

an interesting ride and more kms

[idleidolidyll]

don't get me wrong on this; if you guys want to go to the same place every week and ride the same roads to get there, that's your prerogative.

I'm not team leader.

my take though is that i'm out for a thursday night bike ride not a short ride to the same pub every week.
If that's the gig i might as well drive the car.

Part of the problem with the north auckland lot is their predictability: the pigs know their routes and destinations and from what I've heard, lots have been pinged. We will end up the same.

If tradition is the thing, the original pub and a bloody good one at that, is the Clevedon. That said, I don't wanna go there every week either.

I might have ADD, dunno. But what I know is that I like change and riding new roads, different roads and going to new places.

It's nice to have good company but I'm not after a thursday night card night where we go to the same place and do the same thing.

I was overruled last night, some seemed to think the Kaiaua coast road is dangerous in winter. It isn't, I rode it last night. It wasn't any more dangerous than most of the roads you lot rode last night.

I'll ask before the rides now I guess. If it's always the Paddy, I might be seen occassionally but not very often. Frankly, I've never even been much of a drinker.

[oldguy]

an interesting ride and more kms
I went on the solo SATNR I was Lead rider and TEC
By the time I got home, had a 100 miles on me trip meter, awesome ride,
roads wet in place's.

roll on next Thursday :headbang:

join me, your more than welcome. I hear your not a bad rider haha.

[idleidolidyll]

join me, your more than welcome. I hear your not a bad rider haha.

John, I like riding with you but you leave too early for me.

I can't get home before 5.30-6 at the earliest.

If I put on the panniers we could cart a bunch of cameras off for a bit of night shooting somewhere

You must have had some fantastic photo ops last night of the moon.
Drinking???....2 beers all I had and had a blast.

I would be keen for a bit of this at some point...

[Korumba]

I would be keen for a bit of this at some point...

I think it just did!

O well at least we are out there riding and socialising, the rest of the country struggles to get out and ride this time of the year at night, except for the Norfhland crew out in their jandals, shorts, and T shirts, the Tauranga guys in their Tamiki Bros 48 seater heading to Drivers each week, and the two Auckland rides.
I dont think there is much else happing at night and if the weekend weather is crap I can go more than a week without riding so that again makes Thursday night attractive.
Hope to see you all next Thursday.

[jafar]

There is no reason that we have to go to paddy or anywhere else for that matter, I'm happy enough to end up @ the village or the Clevedon or the Kaiaua pub or @ McD's if it come to that, the beer @ the end is ok by me but not the bee all & end all. :apint:
III makes a valid point ,we are getting predictable in where we are going & when. We used to end up where ever we felt like & never the same pub twice in a row, this is what kept us safe from the unwanted attention that the western ride has suffered from. :Police:
I would like to see a return to the system we had ( yes we did have one ), This is where we have a short discussion before the ride & decide where we are going & who is leading & who is TEC. :argh:
We have not being doing this of late & the results are not good. We have lost riders & had to send others back to try & find them , often unsuccessfully, I suggest from this week on we adopt the old format & at the very least decide on where we are going & stick to it .:spanking:

[caseye]

I vote Jafar as lead and I'm hapy to take TEC, so now it's only deciding where we are going, which way we are going and who is going.
Sorted, c u all next week.

I'm with you on this, if you do come next week, I like to join you and we go for nice ride man:headbang:.

[wybmadiity]

the Tauranga guys in their Tamiki Bros 48 seater heading to Drivers each week,
Thursday night attractive.
Hope to see you all next Thursday.
You are correct. (However Tamaki is in rotorua.) Alot of our crew still ride to Drivers. This time of year we use our Thursday night to try sort out a weekend ride :sunny:
Good on you guys for being so hard ;)

[idleidolidyll]

I'm with you on this, if you do come next week, I like to join you and we go for nice ride man:headbang:.

It looks like I'm going to be in Christchurch Thursday so probably won't be available for a ride.
The following week though is free.

I'll post beforehand

[idleidolidyll]

This is starting to sound a bit dodgy to me...:eek:

we could probably use a few scantily clad ladies for the night shots.............................

[idleidolidyll]

I vote Jafar as lead and I'm hapy to take TEC, so now it's only deciding where we are going, which way we are going and who is going.
Sorted, c u all next week.

Caseye, I vote nobody ever is appointed as lead. That's just too much like Ulysses to me. TEC for sure but a designated Lead is gonna wreck the whole thing.

I can see it now, Jafar rides in front wearing a bright orange jacket and nobody is allowed to pass him on pain of expulsion from "The Club": Crazy Steve, Korumba, Myself and Lula are expelled on the first night.............pretty soon you'd have "the Real SATNR" 'non club' posting rides each week and in this same thread.

After all, the thread was started by The Dover and that's where the essence of the ride and this thread lies.

I agree with the idea of a 'lead' rider in the respect of someone to count heads & make sure everyone knows where we are to go and or finish up.
As for a Ulysses style follow the leader ,ahh no :sick:

[caseye]

I'm gunna have to make my self understood a bit better aye?
I mean't, sigh, here we go again, We usually decide where we're going and then Jafar takes off, people do pass him anything like a Ulysses ride is just too much to handle, even for me.
Ide I'm not saying he has to be the leader or that no one passes him, just that for as long as I can remember thats the way it's been.
We decide where we're going usually Jaf takes point and off we go, the quicker guys an girls go and wait on the major inty's and we all catch up and when we get to where we're going we tell one an other bigger and bigger lies, Coffee does that to ya.

[idleidolidyll]

you may have noticed i have a problem with authority.

one of the reasons i ride in this bunch is the lack of it.

i also reckon authority=ego=issues=animosity=exclusivity

My 'vote' is there is no need to vote; leave the ride as it is, nobody is boss, nobody is in authority. For years we have happily got by with someone taking point on the night and that has often swapped by the minute, hour, week or month.

so people get lost occasionally, tell them the destination at the start and make some simple guidelines for us to follow every ride (or not).
guidelines can be as simple as "go your own way and see you at the .............."(insert pub, beach, dairy etc here) or they can be as complicated as as printed route map if anyone is anal enough to compile one.

ignore me and elect some kind of authority, boss or whatever you wish to call it; that's up to you.

I'll continue to post on Dovers' ride thread and will turn up occasionally to go in the same or a different direction.

I like riding with you lot, i like chatting but this is an informal ride night not a club. For me "ride night" suggests more riding than drinking.

DOVER! Come back please!

hey oldguy, aint we supposed to be shooting macro this month?

Hey yea, I like your train of thinking Mmmmmm Ladies closeups.

Oh on the ride I think we should use a pointer system, so the rider following the lead rider, has to stop at the intersection, and be pointer to make sure no one gets lost, and waits till TEC come through be for moving on.

What say you good Idea. :laugh::laugh:

i know he went but i also heard he came back again

[Korumba]

What, Like Jesus did???

[idleidolidyll]

did jesus come back already?

holy crap!

[Lula]

I'm keen to ride somewhere this week that has Sky Sport 1 so that I can watch the coverage from the Red Bull City Scramble on at 9.30pm. On a bit late but I don't have Sky Sport :no:

[idleidolidyll]

i think the Clevedon has a big screen and sky but you'd still have to make sure they are screening the right channel.

looks like i WON'T be in Christchurch: I'll be somewhere between Hastings and Wanganui heading for Mania the next morning.

Pity the weather looks like shit or I'd take the beemer

[jafar]

I'm out this week guys, still doing the training in hamihole & not getting back:2guns: fast enough:shutup:

[DIN PELENDA]

I'm out 2 !

[Korumba]

The six of us rode for an hour, then talked crap for an hour and a half, all good!

[puddy]

They say that you learn something new every day. I think that's true! DR650s are good learner's bikes. You can ARSE off and just pick it up and carry on!:yes:

Nice to meet you fellas tonight. Exhilarating ride despite, or perhaps because of, the conditions. Good to learn what I need to work on in any case. Pleasant choice of pub at the end too. Cheers :apint:

[sharper_XB]

Nice Ride tonight Fullas, couple of new guys good too see and they did well with the pace, the two twins and the floss :gob: at the last post was worth the whole ride, nice choice Jafar...although i have a feeling we didnt happen on the Pub at the end by chance.

[caseye]

sharper XB you are learning mate, , theres never an ending without that! he he he glad to hear we had some newbies and that all went well, c u next week.

[waitup]

Hey thanks guys, good ride. I had no problem with the choice of pub either :yes:

it's the Patamahoe pub: not a bad pub but pretty bloody boring if you go there every week on much the same roads.

I've pretty much decided to give it up and the support I've had from other past SATNR riders on pm's and blings convinces me that the weekly outing to the same pub and the same roads is turning people off.

Next time I decide to go on a thursday night ride, i'll post on this thread an alternative ride for those bored with the same every week or who don't live in pukekohe or waiuku.

You guys who green blinged me; watch this space

We went an entirely different route from the previous few weeks & hit some roads that we have not been on for a while, sure there was only five of us, but the ones that DID come out on the ride had a night to remember, if not for the storm we rode into then for the entertainment provided by the establishment we visited. :no: it wasn't the Village :shutup:

[idleidolidyll]

cut the secret squirrel crap; it's tedious and smacks of exclusivity. if you want some of the other riders who have stopped coming to return, be open and can the 'club' attitude. the ride will probably have to become a ride again and not an excuse for a night at a pub.

`for me, stopping at a pub isn't even a priority, a cafe would be just as good.

the icing on the cake was the last ride for me; the one where the comments were that "we can't go east because the kaiaua road is covered in moss and is dangerous"

it was nonsense of course; i was disgusted. it signalled nothing less than a hijack

if the comments i've made subsequently have forced a change; great
however, you've pretty much lost me already

thursday night was started as a RIDE night; IMO the ride should take longer than the stop and the neither should ever become predictable.

[idleidolidyll]

OK,

you've seen my posts, i'm after a ride night not a drinking night. social activities do not demand alcohol and a cafe etc will do just as well

no secrets except the ride direction as we don't want the coppers watching and waiting as they seemed to do with the northern crew; ride routes will be discussed and suggested by pm and nailed down to a couple of ideas for discussion on the night

for the first ride the only 2 rules are these;

we don't go to patamahoe/waiuku and we don't stop at a pub.

those who wish to learn to ride better or set up bikes, post suggestions.
we can have a suspension setup night, a braking discussion, discuss the safest way to ride quick on the roads, how to avoid the fuzz or what to do when you get caught etc
we might even end up at the AMCC or have a guest rider of interest
its your ride; take control

Will we have to start saluting at any stage soon??? or maybe a secret hand shake will determine what ride you go on... this has been done to death... fuck I go for the ride and the company no one has ever said it must be the pady and the route is always changed.

And as for being “Disgusted and it being a Hijack” take a step back from the bike mister....

That night I understood the destination was what was being voted on, we could we have done the route you suggested and still have ended up where the “majority” wanted to go.
The last two weeks have been rides of over an hour on mixed routes and a lot of fun... its winter dark, cold, and sometimes wet and windy, like I said before at least we are out there doing it.
See you all Thursday.

[idleidolidyll]

nope; no secret handshake and no, it hasn't been done to death or i would not have received those pm's in support.

the fact is that too many past SATNR riders have been turned off and its easy to think that the ones who go are the only 'keen' riders without considering alternate reasons.

I'm essentially asking them why they don't come anymore and what they want to be different. I've certainly given my reasons and I'd like to hear others say their piece.

this ride thread does not belong to the few left, it belongs to ALL riders who want to ride south and the point is to bring them back even if that is on a different ride. If learners are intimidated, i'm on their side and they SHOULD have a ride of their own. if there are others like me who don't want to go to the pub every week and who want twice as much riding as they do stopping; WE should have the option

yes, the majority who were there the night of my last ride voted to go drinking at the paddy and that's the point; the riders turned off by the same ride, the same pub every week etc were not there to vote

so you've been on a couple of nice rides since then; why keep it secret? do you think that's gonna attract the riders who've given up on the SATNR?

if a significant # of riders signal that the status quo is not for them, that indicates there is need for a change or an alternative

your non sequiter doesn't work Korumba; just because i and others may not wish to go riding to a pub every week and spend twice as much time drinking as we do riding does NOT indicate that we are not interested in the social aspect of the SATNR; it just means we don't want to get in a rut and don't want to drink every thursday

[Cary]

I like the SATNR cause I can turn up when i'm able and go for a ride and put faces to names and hear a few stories.

I'm not fussed where or how far. Do like meeting at a pub but a cafe would do just like sometimes the Village or Kaiawa or Muddy does.

See you a a SATNR some Thursday in the future :yes:

[Lula]

I only go on the SATNR ride to look at the hot dogs...I will be attending this week with the Italian :shifty:

If the previous riders wish to come along then they will , if they are not there to vote on the destination then too bad, the ride is there for those that are there on the day,not for anyone else. :2guns:
Seems more like your not getting what you want III & if thats the case then come along & put your case to the rest of us on the night, I don't care where we go so long as we do actually go. :jerry:
The rides will get longer & the numbers will probably rise anyway as the warmer weather starts to bring more out of hibernation. Those that have been doing this ride come & go, there is no 'çlub' as such & we DO vary the route taken every week. :confused:
I'm not in favour of organizing the ride in advance my text/personal messaging, to me that sounds like the club mentality that you claim to oppose.<_<
Noobie riders always have & always will be catered for on this & most other KB rides, thats how it is, however if III wants to have a 'fast' ride to somewhere that doesn't include them he is more than welcome to organize one & have it anytime he likes. :stupid:

[idleidolidyll]

Will we have to start saluting at any stage soon??? or maybe a secret hand shake will determine what ride you go on... .

Nope, but the suggestion that we elect a permanent leader last time I came certainly helped form the current opinions.

No jafar, the place to discuss this is NOT on the ride when bugger all people are there; it's on the thread where all can see beforehand and decide if they want to contribute and then go for a ride.

I'm more concerned with those we've lost or never had than with those few who do come.

yep, that's why i started the discussion because on my last ride it was made clear that the same bloody ride every bloody week was what those present wanted.

I didn't and neither do the others who have sent me green bling and pm.

for those who don't like being tall poppies, pm me and i'll air your views anonymously for you: i know the confrontation thing doesn't work for some

[boomer]

can i be the leader.. can i .. can i...

Steve knows teh deal.. he's given up.

and i can;t come along, i sold my shootah

[Korumba]

It will be great for all the people who have blinged you, to turn that bling into an appearance.

I hope they aren’t as shy in person… enjoy the muffins!

I would be keen to check out the AMCC if you go one night let me know on that one.

[idleidolidyll]

Mr Merde will loan me a pair; you want a shotgun or a peashooter?

i don't know your details but i've heard a clue or 2, hope it all works out so i can shoot ya later.

some people really don't want to poke their heads up above the wall and looking at the posts on KB, I understand that completely.

again, if you have an opinion but don't want to be identified, pm me and i'll guarantee to air your opinion anonymously.

Some of the pm's are quite succint

example: After I posted this: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1129299620&postcount=2530

I received a green bling from two ex SATNR riders who will remain anonymous saying "I concur" and "exactly"

these two people do not post much now and obviously don't want the attacks and i respect their right to have a say without the hassle.

as for AMCC, prettybillie serves booze there doesn't she? we could maybe arrange a guest pass for a night

[caseye]

Well if it's not raining I'll be there on Thursday night.

[DIN PELENDA]

Not coming this week, gone skiing with my kids. I be in Ohakune for 5 days, what resection. Hope to catch up next week !:love:

I'm out this week also - I've got an AMCC Road Race Committee meeting :Punk:

[jafar]

I'll be at the Autobahn @ the usual time to have a ride. Wet or fine, unless something comes up that takes precedence.

[DidJit]

I have a prior engagement this week and waitup is touring somewhere along the East Cape. I'm keen for next week though. Been practicing and following the advice given last week. :niceone: Have a good one!

C u in a couple of weeks then.

Wow,I've missed all the fun this week.... there was no secret squrirrel crap the below post explains it all, where we went and what we saw, if you were there you would understand.


Nice Ride tonight Fullas, couple of new guys good too see and they did well with the pace, the two twins (Our evenings entertainment, the girls headlights) and the floss (What Little they had on) :gob: at the Last Post (MERCER) was worth the whole ride, nice choice Jafar...although i have a feeling we didnt happen on the Pub at the end by chance.

I'm all keen for a few longer rides, but in saying that what we have been doing the last couple of weeks have been great, dont care where we end up if its a pub or a cafe somewhere its fine with me, ending up at the village on hotdog night is fine with me too.

I will be there tomorrow unless its hosing down when I leave work.

[puddy]

I enjoy the SATNR. IMHO it's not as good as it used to be, but it's ten times better than the West AKLD one! I'm not a current SATNR diehard, I only go occasionally, but probably the last four or five rides that I've been on have lead to the same place, and by the sound of it a fair number of the ones that I've missed have ended at the same destination. i'd dearly love to go somewhere different. However, if everybody else want to go what has become 'the regular', then that's fine. I'm not trying to force anything. I'll either suck it up or go elsewhere. I'm for more riding, less drinking/talking BS. Too much more of this and I'll be willing to PAY $250 to go somewhere different! Maybe I'll chuck in a few hotdogs too!
As you were.

That's great and sounds like what I was suggesting; for me the paddy and the rides to it had become stale.

[idleidolidyll]

Cheers puddy,
That's about what I reckn except the last ride I went on seemed to indicate the ride and destination were not gonna change.
It looks like reason has prevailed.

The suggestion that we elect a leader had turned me off too. Hope that's over with cause I hate authority. It usually ends up an ego issue.

[idleidolidyll]

It's 3.10pm and i'm about ready to fuck off for the avo.

had enough of work for the day.

any takers on a daylight ride?

[Korumba]

I took a vote,with having done over a 1000ks on the bike in the last 7 days, I will give tonight a miss.

Enjoy the ride people and be safe, see you next week.

[sharper_XB]

I'm out tonight, still stuck at work damn it....arrrghhh

[Lula]

Well tonight proved to be the winning one - so finally the SATNR as been there and done that....yes the $250 cash was won by one of us!:banana: See pics for proof it's not all pffft:yes:

Over 25 bikes there tonight :scooter: ...and I got to take the new Moto Guzzi Bellagio for a bit of spin...yes we went for a ride, well over an hour out the back roads and it was as dry as the bottom of a budgies bird cage, oh and the staff made sure I got my hot dog tonight!:clap:

[caseye]

Hey folks, great ride tonight, roads great,destination same as every last Thursday of the month, for free hotdogs and a chance to sweep the pools.
An we did!
Welcome Mike form Manurewa on his Kawa 1200 2002 machine, you rode your own ride and arrived safe an sound along with the rest of us.
Next week, who knows where we will end up, who cares.
C u ugly buggers then.
PS: nice Guzzie Lula, I know a guy who knows a guy who would kill for one of those.

[scottjpalmer]

Woohoooo congrats!

I'll be back sometime soon, promise :-)

[Korumba]

Excellent news about the cash, perseverance paid off.

Good to hear so many turned up and the ride went well.

Roll on next Thursday.

[Dodgyiti]

Ha caseye! You got it worng, I would kill for it.

To all those that don't like where this ride goes etc why not just do what I do and take your own ride either alone or with a mate or two? That way you get to go exactly where you want when you want at the pace you want. I like riding alone or with a couple of mates only over the larger club type rides.

[idleidolidyll]

That's what I intend but "this" ride doesn't own this thread.

Essentially ANY South Auckland Thursday night rider can post ANY Thursday night ride on this thread.

It's Dover's thread and doesn't belong to any of the riders who like going to the Paddy OR to any like me who are bored with it.

Until Dover himself changes the rules or makes a statement; it belongs to all of us.

That said, it seems sense has prevailed and the ride is not going to the same place every week.

[Taz]

But also you could just phone a couple of maes and go for a ride. Does'nt have to involve kb at all cause you can't please all the...... so why try? Just please yourself.

The ride has been going to the VBK often for several reasons, one is the $250.00 draw, another is the FREE HOTDOGS put on by the owner for RIDERS on certain nights. It is clear that the VBK does appreciate the business we put through them.
We DO vary the route to get there & no we don't go there every week !! If you have been along on some of the nights we have been there thats good, last season we were going to the Clevedon or the Kaiaua, sometimes to the fish & chip shop sometimes somewhere different altogether. :2guns:

If you want to set up another ride then do so, there is nothing to stop you doing that, if you make it for a different night of the week (one you can actually get to would be a good idea) then you will get riders for that too. Go for it.:sunny:

[DIN PELENDA]

Way cool, have fun Din, I am very jealous.

I will be there unless its pissing down when I go to leave home.

It is what I try to achieve brother ; to make you bit jealous cos I'm jealous that you got letter model R1 then me:love:, but anyway it is noting to be jealous of , becose taking 5 of my kids skiing it is so stressful, expensive, and no time to enjoy my self cos I was teaching my kids how to ski. On top of all that whether was shit and snow was terrible not like dry snow you get beck home. To top it all up as I got back to work in doing delivery to Whangarei yesterday I had little altercation with 100 year old lady ,which make complain to my boss on the phone because I shoal her how big is my middle finger and I got fired. So now I'm job less and just to calm my self from being jealous I got new double bubble screen for my R1 (that was before I got fired- 200$ from cikletreads) Ride on mite !!!

[DIN PELENDA]

And to top all that I got muscle cramp in my calf today , so I went to see doctor and done blood test because that cramp had block blood circulation in my leg and that blood result came for me to have CT scan and CT scan show blood clotting in my leg so I will had to go to hospital to have operation before clotting brake off it is hard to walk, but if I'm still in one piece I be on ride.

[oldguy]

stuck between can't be F**ked and maybe, but i to am over going to the puddy,
don't care about $250 or free hot dog, I do this because I enjoy riding:done:

I have no intention of starting a different ride night.
Thursday night it is and since Dover isn't around the ride might go several directions

[caseye]

Sandpit! yes , that was wonderful.
Great ride tonight everyone. Thani-B good to see you, nice riding as always, Didjit, night time makes things appear and feel very different,you rode well and sensibly.
Din get that leg sorted and well soon mate.
Old Guy ya missed a blinder of a ride and the girls at the Post didn't have any tops on!.

[gijoe1313]

Ahh had a nice wee ride back home via back of SH22 and off around the Bombays to the road by the moronway ...

Thanks everyone for a good ride, TEC is a position I am used to on the SATNR oh so long ago (heck oldguy and me were always riding together then! :lol:)

Nice to meet some new people and see familiar faces again! Dang, I forgot how much fun I had on these rides ... dang table tennis coaching commitments! :pinch: Ah well, roll on Term Four and I will be able to enjoy these rides again! :woohoo:

It was nice ride but it all gone bit weird for me at the end as younger one of two guys that start playing pool table approach me and introduce him self to me told me he is from Austria and he ask me do I like to have free Dive from the Plane, then he said that he like my size and he will give me free jump and some ether discount for year of that usually cost 350$. After he give me his ph number, he told me JUMP is free and I can take him for hot ride on my bike :love:. WTF I just look at him and I was that close to :bash: him but older guy that was with him just hold my hand at the bar and ask me to leave him he just had much to drink, so I walk out. Thanks sharperXB for making sure I'm OK!
So anyone (Steve) that like to have free JUMP:shit::love::buggerd::blip::tugger::moon: call 1-800-TO JUMP and ask for Alex. :done:

[caseye]

Din, take the free jump man! Crazy won't rememberr it two minutes after it's over, LOL.
Glad ya didn't :gob: that guy, not worth it.

[puddy]

Sounds like the 'jump' had nothing to do with planes!:yes:
Coroglen was nice!:scooter:
Didn't get any phone numbers though.

[DidJit]

Cheers all — nice ride! Most enjoyable. :yes:

[Cary]

Good ride, nice for it to be dry for once.

Like others I had to do a bit of flicking between hi & lo beams quite a lot just so I could see the corners, 999 has good high beam, crap low.

Possibly see you next week.

[Lula]

Mmmm nice ride alright, looks like I don't miss the hot dogs afterall. See you boys and girls next week :sunny:

[DidJit]

Didjit, night time makes things appear and feel very different,you rode well and sensibly.

Cheers caseye. (Didn't see your post earlier this morning — still rubbing sleep from my eyes...) Yep, night time is certainly a completely different ride, but I'm very happy to keep practicing. :scooter:

I bailed when I heard him saying Oh Din your arms are as big as my thighs:shit: that was enough for me... only came back to see if i could take your bike home instead...

[caseye]

Sharper, you left?come on that just doesn't sound like you, Din possibly in a scrape and you bailed, I don't believe it! nope, I just don't.
Carey, thats the worlds best understatement I reckon, "flicking" man I was forever hitting high to see round some of those monstrous Corners.
Didgit, always good to have people along who want to learn and who ride sensibly and for themseilves, enjoyed the company mate lets see you again.
Puddy, missed yer etheral sense of humour at the destination mate.If I'd known you was heading for Coroglen I'd probably have joined you, come with us next week,
Jafar, I swung by the Post last night before leaving Mercer, didn't see a bike anywhere so I carried on, hope it was a good night there too.
Oh yes, Jafar, Poker run, The Kentish, Sunday, THIS SUNDAY I believe, details please, wifey might just join me for a little poottle on Sundee if it's all systems go.

[oldguy]

I ride with my light on high, all the time, I don't mind if someone behind me has there lights on high, I just turn my mirrors down no worries, I,m more interested in what's out front than whats going on behind.
Better who ever behind can see where they are going than follow me, if i make a bad judgement and run off the road, don't want them following.

[puddy]

You're excused from the SATNR John. You ride past me every morning, so you ride more often than I do!

[Taz]

Cheerx there Anthrax, much apprecaited, Had asked Jafar but I reckon he's out hunting up strays.

[idleidolidyll]

Good ride Thursday indeed, a dozen bikes at the Autobahn and almost a full moon.

like others I struggled a bit with the light conditions; in a way it is better when it's fully dark. The moon looked bloody awesome though.

Damn near did a crazy steve just after sharper took off to catch the front riders. I took off behind him but just after that my radar dtector fell off it's mount and was hanging by the power cord. With $800+ at stake I took my hand off the left bar to grab it just before a corner; very loose and missed kissing the ditch by maybe a metre

[oldguy]

You're excused from the SATNR John. You ride past me every morning, so you ride more often than I do!

Sux mate, have no car at the mo. got no choice, though sometime if its a nice afternoon,:scooter: I take the long way home as you do, via the coast for fish and chips.

[Thani-B]

Bit of a fail really. Better luck next week hopefully.

[jafar]

Bit of a fail really. Better luck next week hopefully.

Where did you guys go ??:scooter:

[sharper_XB]

Well fellow SATNR's tonights little jaunt turned out to be a lesson / reminder in good ol' camaraderie, friendship and not leaving a good man behind. We were sitting at the normal kick off point watching the rain tumble down and probably all of us thinking shall we really just go home, and then some one mentioned (probably me) Din's little encounter at the muddy last week, well we decided lets go back as they had reasonable fare and there was the off chance the Din could run into his new friend again for a Hot ride on the back of his bike.:eek5:
Due to the slightly inclement weather that was bearing down on us it was agreed that we take a slightly shorter route to this destination, all was well until we got across Pararata rd at the Hunua end and blow me down where is DIN??? 5 mins or so later, decison was made for the whole group to go a search and locate mission so off we toddled back towards Bombay. Get to the petrolem transfer station at the round about and here's DIN trying to crash start the R1, lesson to be learned here dont fiddle with the electrics before a ride. ...lets blame the mitsubushi parts in it aye DIN. Now DIN's thinking ah, I will just ring my wife she can wake up all the kids, pull the trailer out in from the back yard, hook it up to the 4WD and come and pick me and R1 up, Im sure you can all just picture her reaction to that, so instead here's me piped up and said I will take you back to get you trailer etc.. are you figuring where this is going??? If you know DIN, you know how big he is, picture this Me Pillioning DIN on the back of the Buell back to his place, oh if only we only had pictures, he must have towered a good couple of feet above me on the back of my bike and he was worried about snapping the rear sub frame off of it...it was a great laugh of a night...even if we didnt make it to our intended destination sorry Thani-b.

[Korumba]

Its about the journey not the destination, good on you all for being there. Looking forward to catching up next week.
Stay cool!

[Korumba]

My destination was the Bar Africa, caught up with the ATNR after a very boring product launch at work, fuck that ride even gets the cops at the pub!

[jafar]

Cops @ the pub ? :scratch::thud:

[Korumba]

Yeah I think they were there to wipe some fucker called Skidmarks arse! or maybe just the dribble off his chin, cause there was so much crap coming out of his mouth!

[jafar]

Yeah I think they were there to wipe some fucker called Skidmarks arse! or maybe just the dribble off his chin, cause there was so much crap coming out of his mouth!

So you'll be back on the SATNR next week then ? :woohoo:

[Korumba]

So you'll be back on the SATNR next week then ? :woohoo:

You bet, somehow I seem to understand every bit of shit spoken on this ride.

[DidJit]

Well sharperXB, when I caught up to you at the Manukau lights, I couldn't help but have a quiet chuckle at the sight of DIN dwarfing the Buell and your good self.
It was a very quiet chuckle mind.
Mostly due to me still smarting from the black eye my bike gave me...

Now before y'all freak out, it was just a simple misunderstanding.

I wanted to pump up the tires at the BP prior to departure, while the bike decided that that was the appropriate time for a lie down...

Suffice to say the bike won.

Cracked fairing, broken wing mirror and a black eye later... (Trying to catch the bike on the way down using the wing mirror and an eye socket is now not a technique I recommend.)

Anyhoo, guess it was just one of those nights. DIN, hope you got the R1 back ok, and hope it doesn't take long to fix either! Here's to next week! :apint:

[jafar]

You bet, somehow I seem to understand every bit of shit spoken on this ride.

Excellent, you can be leader next week then,:woohoo:
just don't tell III as he has authority issues :Oops:

[Korumba]

Excellent, you can be leader next week then,:woohoo:
just don't tell III as he has authority issues :Oops:

LMFAO .... yep I will lead.. it will be good to ride some roads I know up Norf and the Pouhi has hot road kill and the 250 shiny stone draw on Thursdays.

[caseye]

Leave ya's all alone for ONE Night and this happens.Sorry bout the eye DidJit.
Din, I seriously hope the ol R 1 is back in shape soon mate.
Korumba, whats this crap about the ATNR??? ah ah , bloody hell boyo, glad tos ee you've come to your senses.
Muddy next week then ah lads an lassesses.??
Unfinished business ya might say.

[DIN PELENDA]

Shall we go back to muddy's again and see if your new friends are there Din??? maybe you could take him for a ride ;);)

Thanks mite for taking me for ride and save the night, I rely enjoy being pillion first time for me:buggerd:, and my first broke down but you guys save the night and many nights for me in dog house.:cold:

[caseye]

Long as you are OK buddy, aye lads and lassesses?

[idleidolidyll]

Excellent, you can be leader next week then,:woohoo:
just don't tell III as he has authority issues :Oops:

only with people who want authority
blokes like korumba who do it almost in protest are fine

it's like the old saying: i wouldn't want to be in a club that would have me as a member

my experience suggests that people who desire authority are the last people who should have it.......like mrs idleidolidyll for instance.............

[Thani-B]

.it was a great laugh of a night...even if we didnt make it to our intended destination sorry Thani-b.

Didnt bother me at all, I still enjoyed the ride.



Mostly due to me still smarting from the black eye my bike gave me...


Was wondering about that today, if it would give you one. Bit of a bugger that. Hope bike doesnt cost too much to repair.



Muddy next week then ah lads an lassesses.??
Unfinished business ya might say.

Sounds good to me. I just enjoy the ride (and its not too far for me to get home afterwards...)

[DidJit]

Not too bad now — bit of a scar, that's about it. :doctor: As far as sharperXB's cost comparison goes, he wins by a mile. :first: Funnily enough (in these modern e-commerce times), the dealer's prices are actually cheaper than online.

Couldn't agree more , although Mrs III does seem to have you well sorted :msn-wink:

See you Thursday Mike:niceone:

I see you had privilege to met a boy that know everything but cant even vipe his own arse:spanking:, just ask Lula what happened to Rat bike:jerry:, he was so helpful and knew everything about that engine, all till didn't caught fire.:slap::weird:

[Mr Merde]

Bike is on the repair. Wont be long now and I will be out for a ride with you lot again. (I hope)

Looks unlikely for me.

[idleidolidyll]

Just got in the door.

Holy crap, what was with the motorway?!
I hit stopped traffic well before Drury and crawled along. Got off at Drury thinking I'd be clever and go down Opaheke then Boundary Rd in 'kura but the cops had also closed off Boundary rd!
Bloody crawled through Kura and down Kelvin Rd until halfway home the back way.
Damn! Worst Jaffic I've seen for bloody ages.

6.25pm. Too late, too tired

[Thani-B]

Glad I changed my mind. Had a good night. See you next week hopefully.

[caseye]

Well what a cracker! Night was beautiful, no rain, warm and clear, ride was one out of the box. A new way to get there thanks Crazy for jumping over 6 others to take the leaders jersey, well lead and no hint of protest anywhere.
Cept of course ya lost ol puddy, again!
no matter the draw wasn't to be ours tonight, but the beer was cold and the food good.
8 riders tonight, welcome to Diggers out with us for his first night run on the SATNR.
Good to have you with us again Thani-B glad you changed your mind I'll bet.
"Nice bike" that girly!(raoew!) Sounds great, looks good, pity bout that headlight problem.
Looking forward to the free hot dogs and another "go" at that draw next week.

[puddy]

No no! You didn't lose me, I lost you guys!:blink:

And if you are interested to go for weekend ride we can do it as SAR-Stay Alive Riders group.

O yeah got my R1 beck on Fri. after I call Red Baron, and they told me it is noting wrong with it, still charge me 168$ what a rip off.

[caseye]

Hey Old Guy, we're missing ya mate, come on i'll let ya ride in front of me so you can see by my headlight.

[DIN PELENDA]

No no no it's South African Riders

That is not to bad idea, I'm often mistaken for South African because of my ax cent and that is compliment, just look what they doing to us in RUGBY :bash:, but don't you ever call us Stupid Assholes Riders:mad::shutup::lol:
But just think about it, we can start this group and do weekend rides Sat or Sun and do maybe 22, Kawakawa and sometimes join the sumer even do Coro loop and we don't have to go always south , we can do SH 16, Ride to Puhoi, Mangawhai, Waipu..... as we have more time and light.We can turn that i to regular weekend ride and put it on calendar . Now if you call it Stay Alive Riders or South Auckland Riders we my get some members aye Caseye and sharperXB but if we call it South African or Stupid Assholes Riders , I will be only member of this group.

[jafar]

Way not turn in to Stupid Assholes Riders:shutup:.

Or Slack Ass Riders:Oops:

[DIN PELENDA]

Or Slack Ass Riders:Oops:

Will you guys ever thing positive and say something nice like "Sweet Azz Riders":Punk: "Safe As Riders":rockon:

maybe not , OK then " Stink Ass Riders":laugh:

[DIN PELENDA]

Now "South Auckland Riders" will have regular ride, which will be on calendar and it will be every Saturday and ride on calendar will be listed as SAR SAR" South Auckland Regular Saturday Auckland Ride" because we will ride not just south but anywhere NSEW and will be happening around 9.30 am at same place as SATNR and it will be something like this ride , but we will have more time to go for longer ride, not be tired like we are on this ride after work, it be more daylight . I think there is real need for ride like that, this is just start of it and all you are welcome to comment and help. I like Saturday ride because after it you can go home in the afternoon to family have BBQ and:apint::drinknsin and sleep in next day:rockon:
PS I just love to see what you guys look like in daylight :crazy::pinch::blink::wacko::eek5::Oops:
SAR ride is on calendar now !
