South Auckland Thursday Night Ride

[jafar]

Now that is one hot pic, better than looking at Lesbians..

Yeah RIIIIGHT :bash: you've been on that Buell too long :crazy:


Anyways on a serious note, thanks guys and gal, was a great nite out for a ride, and with such good company.:2thumbsup
Nice to see a few more new faces, one thing about the SATNR is we may all leave together as a group, but end up going of in different direction, but we all end up at the pub.

Be even better if it was the same pub :rockon:

[Madness]

Cheers for the ride this week guys (and gal). Nice to know there's some suitably curvatious roads on my back doorstep since moving up from Welly.

Now I just have to hope Santa brings me some new fork internals and an Ohlins rear. It felt like I was pushing a 60's Caddilac in a Porsche race at times.

Nice to meet you III, it's always interesting meeting a KBer face to face after reading their posts for ages.

Red bikes really do go faster!

[rossw]

Another good ride, few more names in the memory banks!

Still working on getting everyone on the same road, got there in the end tho :clap:

Red bikes to the front today :eek:

Cheers all.

It was an awesome ride - thanks to all. I look forward to the next one but I'm sure my bike can't handle too many. The engine is almost cool to the touch now and it looks like someone took to my tyres with a sandblaster. Have a great Christmas and New Year!!

[caseye]

sAME PUB? WHAT AS YOU? jAFAR, come off it, we don't know aLL THAT MANY South Ak watering holes.
well as usual the Thursday night ride of the South Auckland Thursday Night Ride was AWESOME.
If you wern't there, you missed a beaut!
Looking forward to the next one, hopefully we'll get a few more bikes, (11 at last count) and climbing.
Fantastic roads and little or no opposing traffic, nice work guys enjoyed every inch of those! roads.
Andf of course the company.

First thing we are not biatches and I don't wont to come to your shop :no:and do what suit you Richard.This ride always start from BP so who are you to change it and decide were we going you arrogant prick , last week we gone to Kaiauva we my go somewhere else this week so if you like we my wait for you up to 6.30 see you at BP.:laugh:

[DIN PELENDA]

Who is coming and who is not ?

I guess you don't see any merit in having a ride for people who want to scalp it and people who aren't as experienced then?

I'd hate to run up against your attititude if you felt I was holding you up...

[Blackbuell]

For your information DIN Richard was one of the original guys that started this ride & for your information we have started this ride from Botany Honda before so he is not being a arrogant prick,he is old though.:laugh::laugh:

[Max Preload]

I guess you don't see any merit in having a ride for people who want to scalp it and people who aren't as experienced then?

I guess you don't see any merit in having a ride where everyone leaves from the long established and ideal start point.

[EatOrBeEaten]

I guess you don't see any merit in having a ride where everyone leaves from the long established and ideal start point.
I have to admit, having only been here a fortnight I haven't got a clue where everybody leaves from. I was told the Botany Honda ride would be chilled out and learner-friendly, which suits my ability far better than caning it with the big boys, which is why I found DIN's post to be somewhat bewildering.

[Cary]

I guess you don't see any merit in having a ride where everyone leaves from the long established and ideal start point.

I would rather leave from BP Autobahn as then I don't have to cut thru city traffic. But will if i have to as found this ride & the guys on it is all good.

Suggestion, do both but maybe organise the destination here b4 the ride?

Ummm, I can't do the next 2 anyway as i'm working but don't want to see this ride go......

[DIN PELENDA]

For your information DIN Richard was one of the original guys that started this ride & for your information we have started this ride from Botany Honda before so he is not being a arrogant prick,he is old though.:laugh::laugh:
I know who is Richard but things do change , this ride I'm doing for year and half and newer see you or Richard , he my be the one of guys that started this ride but I think he should ask first who is for change beck to old ways but he just jump on hire changing ride ass where to start and where we going that is arrogant tho Botany Honda is much closer for me than BP autobahn but some of as coming from Wiuku and Puki so he should take that in consideration ,anyway is up to guys so what are we doing .

[Max Preload]

I would rather leave from BP Autobahn as then I don't have to cut thru city traffic.

I wouldn't go to Botany myself, but since I won't be doing it any time soon anyway my personal position is moot. That said, most of the guys are from further south than Botany too so it makes little sense to meet there since there are no rides north of there.

There are pretty much two groups leaving from the Autobahn anyway - we always seem to sort ourselves into some order of desired riding speed. And I like the fact none of us know where we're going until the last minute too... for obvious reasons... :Police:

Richard sorts out that ride from his work place and invites peeps on this thread, it isn't a replacment for the usual satnr

The ride that start at BP autobahn (BOP petrol station just south 2 km from Papakura offramp SH1) for more than year from my knowledge , it's learner-friendly ride on every intersection riders gather and wait for rest , they wait for me 2 , you are welcome cos it is safe ride no bins and no tickets on this ride it is not race and everyone ride they own pace , where we go we decide just before ride . I don't know who told you that ride start from Botany Honda you probably talk to Richard , eider way be nice to see you and to get to know you .

[DIN PELENDA]

Richard sorts out that ride from his work place and invites peeps on this thread, it isn't a replacment for the usual satnr

He should get it sorted cos it is in same time as SATNR , if he is doing Botany Honda ride than he should live this ride alone.

I'm with you on BP, might see you in two weeks ?

[puddy]

Should be able to make it this week (Autobahn). Anyone? Maybe we could end up at the same place?

[McJim]

Nice to see this fookah is still going strong after that fateful night when The_Dover, Maverick, Terminal Addict, Vixter and McJim set forth in the darkness doing all the twistiest roads through the Hunuas.

Shame I can't join yas but I'm doing the really far south of Auckland Thursday night runs now:rofl:

But hey, what's a coupla thousand kilometres between friends!:sunny:

[gijoe1313]

I think Richard's slow speed is still too fast for me! :whistle: It's been a long while since I've been out and about on the SATNR, I shall say I cannot come since everytime I have said I want to come I couldn't! :pinch:

I could leave at BP Autobahn before Richard leaves Botany and he would probably get to Kaiaua before me! :rofl:

[Richard Mc F]

I havn't been doing the SATNR or the botany one for a while, broken bones do that, I post the BHM here 'cause these are people I enjoy riding with.

Not a thread hi jack........mere courtesy..............use you ignore or delete.

No swearing .........I might be sober

[DIN PELENDA]

For anyone going from Botany if you planing to go Whitford and Maraetai way lots of road work and thick gravel from Howik up to 2km before Beachlands new roundabout so Hunua or some ather way mey be beter.Just got beck with kids from maraetai road is bad.

Thanks for the (very) brisk ride guys (I was on the red hornet 900).
After I left with gijoe1313 I got a text about a pet emergency so had to book it home! I hope the crazy asian managed to patch the hose up!!

Was very happy that I could keep up with at least some of you, was nice to see riders of all experiences riding happily and safely! May become a regular (and even talk too!)

Cheers.

[EatOrBeEaten]

Ich bin ein idiot.

I didn't make the Botany ride after all, got caught up in traffic coming back from the city centre and then couldn't find the place. :Oops:

Still, went out to Kawakawa on my tod anyway, brilliant ride that! Hopefully see some of you next Thursday night (I know where I'm going now) :yes:

Definitely not Botany

[Madness]

Wouldn't Botany qualify for the title of EATNR?, being out east 'n all.

SATNR is where it's at. Hell, one bike even got blocked tonight!.

[EatOrBeEaten]

Definitely not Botany
The other rideout, that was leaving from Botany Honda (apparently- there was nobody there by the time I arrived!)

Madness- Don't feel my skills are up to riding with the big boys, I still have a fear that I'll let my enthusiasm overtake my ability on the main SATNR :shit:

[gijoe1313]

Well, its been a while since I last managed to turn up to the SATNR, and I'm glad I did tonight!

Met the usual great group of bikers, talking the usual shite and comparing size of dicks! :whistle:

A great turn out and somehow we managed to get past the posing and actually do a little riding...

Went on some nice twisties out Drury way to Runciman and all of a sudden the flow was stopped by a stoppage on the road!

I shall post piccies and let the interested parties explain! :whistle:

I will put in little snippets of info I deem pertinent to aid and further misunderstandings! :innocent: :devil2:

Pic1 : The gathering of a ne'er do well crew of misbegotten miscreants, rancounteurs, scallywags and blaggards as ever assembled!

Pic2 : Oh noes! I has broken bike!

Pic3 : You put the little thing in the little hole to try and get the sodden thing off ...

Pic4 : Ministry of Works gathering ...

Pic5 : The farmer who helped was named Gordon, a damned fine gentleman and sounded like a real character! Blardy good chap indeed!

Pic6 : Proof that we actually made it to the Muddy Waters to have eats and drinks to finish the SATNR in style!

Yeah we went out ormiston, sandstone,etc, then up over west road, some marbles but a great run down the coast and back.

Good turnout, and good to Catch up with OLD GUY, a nice nana ride down playing TEC, stepped it up on the way home.........refreshing :jerry:

Great to get out after a long break, I will have to go out on the traditonal SATNR soon, get shown how slow I still am:third:

Sorry we missed you eat or be eaten, we left pretty much 6.00 sharp, come out on the SATNR & let the crew know, there is always some one who will look after the noobies, play TEC etc

We didn't have much of ride cos of breakdown on one of the bikes R1 , but we had good time on side of the road , we don't leave no one behind . I took my 7yr old daughter with me for ride and if you do turn up next week I'm sure you be looked after.

My own fault- I pulled into a gas station in a rush, asked for directions. Of course, there being a Honda dealership for cars as well as bikes in the area didn't occur to me until I pulled into a very closed-looking car dealers :wacko:

Will be about next week for sure, it's my first day in my new job so I'll be needing some R&R!

[gijoe1313]

I must confess though, I did get several rides in - to zip back home to acquire Mr Block and Mr Mallet and assorted gubbinz to try and clamp the aforementioned bike back to ride worthiness.

Not happening. Bashing and swearing and general hamfisted attempts to bodge a repair only resulted in dismal ROI!

The last four bikers to ride to the end was well met and excellent stories exchanged!

And oh yes, a special pic for a poseur provacateur ... to prove that KB is still about posing and talking rather than riding! :msn-wink:

I did mention that you were a crusty ol'biker with the ear of the Biker Gods and you must have cursed this ride tonight! :girlfight: I thought back to how you proclaimed that Gremlin was to be afflicted with rain (and by association, me as well) down on the SI trip! :wacko:

I reckon you need to lighten up on the heebie-jeebie stuff! :oi-grr: Oh yeah I also said your nana speed was still faster than some people's fast speeds! :whistle:

pfffft I was TEC this time... but on the hornet, so I guess the hornet at the back tradition was kept...

Wichard was not TEC, unless he counts bikes differently. Since he was in front of me, one could presume he wasn't TEC :blah:

[oldguy]

I was wondering where is John (YOUNG GUY) We were at BP autobahn up to 7pm , ill be good to see you next week.

Oh my bad, :Oops:I was waiting for you at Botany Honda.:woohoo:

next week,:yes:

[beyond]

Madness- Don't feel my skills are up to riding with the big boys, I still have a fear that I'll let my enthusiasm overtake my ability on the main SATNR :shit:

That is always a problem on group rides. Ride to your own abilities. Easily said and often quoted but a darn sight harder to do in practice without a lot of willpower.

[zeocen]

I was 2nd to last in the pack and at a very happy pace! By no means fast, I would have definitely classed it a multi-environment ride. It was the first time I had taken my new bike out on the open road (3rd ride total), going from sports positions to upright so I was taking it easy and had no complaints!

Go along mate, you'll enjoy yourself!

[puddy]

That is always a problem on group rides. Ride to your own abilities. Easily said and often quoted but a darn sight harder to do in practice without a lot of willpower.

So what do you do on Thursday nights Paul?:innocent:

[oldguy]

Yeah we went out ormiston, sandstone,etc, then up over west road, some marbles but a great run down the coast and back.

Good turnout, and good to Catch up with OLD GUY, a nice nana ride down playing TEC, stepped it up on the way home.........refreshing :jerry:

Great to get out after a long break, I will have to go out on the traditonal SATNR soon, get shown how slow I still am:third:

Sorry we missed you eat or be eaten, we left pretty much 6.00 sharp, come out on the SATNR & let the crew know, there is always some one who will look after the noobies, play TEC etc

cheers Richard, thanks for the beer,:niceone: that was a good ride mate, as usual I was late just court you guys leaving.
That was a good ride down for me, just did my own thing really enjoyed it, but the ride home, F**K what can I say, night riding sux, bad enough I can't see to well at night, add dark visor, my head lights on high, look like dip on every one else's bike, could't see the corners till i was well into them, was glad to see street lighting, anyway cheers for the ride bloody good turn out as well.

[hedgier1]

Hey guys. Just want to say a BIG UP too you guys for the help on the side of the road. Was great to meet some new faces. Also sorry for fuking up the ride for ya all. Massive ups for Gordon who kindly transported bike to botany. Yes he was a fukn character, but a great guy. Bike fixed on Friday and then headed back to Tauranga on Saturday. Was great to meet you all and hopefully next time will be able to complete ride. Once again thanx for photos.

[gijoe1313]

No probs, glad that we were only dealing with a blown radiator hose rather than a more serious issue! Glad you kept it upright when it sprayed it over the rear initially!

All fun and games, its all part of biking innit? :yes:

Give me regards to DMNTD ... hopefully he hasn't finished all the bourbon I dropped off to him yet!

Gees mate, thought that R1 looked familiar, could only see the back of your head, so was not sure it were you. thought na, what he be doing up this way.
Bugga, catchup another time. Went on the (other) SATNR thats how big the rides getting in the south we have to run 2 rides, not only confuses us, but also the cops.

[hedgier1]

Old guy was a shame not to catch up with ya and yes it was me hehehehe. Was a secret mission to Aucks. NOT!!!! Thought I would give the SATNR a go. Was very impressed so might have to come up and do it again. Anyways hopefully bike won't breakdown next time.

Anyone want to buy a used R1? Radiator hose replaced and engine in great condition. anyone keen message me.

No worries their loss, c u again.

[ecobulb]

Weather is looking pretty poo for tonight aye, guess i will be giving this one a miss but i'm keen to start riding more now. Will look at doing some of the night rides in the near future.

How many numbers do you normally get for the south Auck rides

[caseye]

Normal? ly , he he , poor guy he's deranged, us Normals usually muster anything form 2 - 12 riders, average 8 or so most rides.
Weather is arse so I'm opting out tonight.If anyone goes, please be bloody careful.

[jafar]

:weep: bloody weather

[ecobulb]

oh yeah so how fast do you guys ride, will i be able to keep up on a 250? guess i'll find out next time the weather isn't crap.

[caseye]

Well the speed thing is relative, we have bikes that go quite quick and ones that don't.
You won't be left behind I can guarnatee that, we enjoy our rides and we try to make sure that new riders do to.
Come along on Thursady and find out for yourself.

[Gummie]

Yea its a good night.
I somehow managed to get along one night and totally enjoyed it.

They had bikes larger than mine but were supportive in that fact and it was easy to see they were just out for a ride just like everyone else.

Note to self must go to another one:yes:

[caseye]

C ewe there tomorrow then gummie.

Hmm chain tension anyone? I have established that my chain is way too loose now i must establish how exactly i rectify that. In lieu of this i will probably be taking the cage to work tomorow. I think i was just starting to get used to the feeling of hypothermia in the mornings too.

[Gummie]

Ok i should be able to make it this week,
i was on call out last week and got a call as i got on motorway to bp so i got to drive past and wave.
lol:bye:

[ecobulb]

the overwhelming urge to ride won, chain tension now fixed. If all goes well on the ride to work tomoro (i.e the back wheel stays on) i will be there for a cruise

[Tink]

Heh I live 5 min from the autobahn..... if I stick out my thumb... haha :devil2:

[caseye]

well then get on with it Gal! My wife has just this week received a brand new 250, she'll be riding soon and hopefully coming out with us hardened few on Thursdays.
A good turn out tonight with 7! bikes on the start line, the welcome return of a couple of our long lost riders and a damn fine ride about the Kaiaua coastline followed by a nice schnapper burger an chips at the takeaway beside the Pub! don't go there unless you want to get ripped off!(The pub that is)Used to get great service and excellent food, these days(recently) you pay the same and get a lot less, no more baskets, now it's a bread plate with a hand full of chips and a dead bit of fish.Pity we liked it there, I noticed there were no bikes there at all tonight and no one in the bar either, wonder when they will figure it out???
Great lead ride there Old Guy, an the followerupper was pretty safe as usual too, cheers Jafar and Subrina.

Awesome - bring it. I'm out for this Thursday though. I'm going to the Training Day on Saturday and have no number plate or rearview mirrors on the bike at the moment and it's going on the trailer tomorrow seen as I am too much of a girl to get it on myself, I'm enlisting the help of burly men!

[caseye]

Where'd you two get too? we went left and straight ahead, I saw your lights coming our way then nothing! LOL, hope you both got home safe and sound, see you next week.Jafar took us out this really old steep goat track that only his chook chaser could handle, the poor old bro inlaw (another back to riding older dude) had hells own job keeping it on the tar seal.
but a great ride out in the south West. brilliant night and great company as always, cheers guys. Till nest week.
Ps; Where the hell have all our guys and gilrs gone, it's the best riding weather ever andyour'e staying home in droves, oh well. More road for us, I guess.

[howdamnhard]

I tried catching up with you guys tonight but left late and after taking a wrong turnoff only arrived at Autobahn at 1850. Set off hoping to catch up with you guys.Turned off at Matasomethingor other, then headed for Miranda, then kiauaua . Thought I had found you guys at Kiauaua pub , when I saw 2 cruisers, 1 orange chopper and an orange 250 Hyosung leaving. Asked the Hyosung rider if he was with the South Akld Thursday night ride to which he only replied they where heading back to Akld . I said I would head back via Kawakawa Bay and he said lots of gravel Nth of Kaiuaua and to dangerous. So I said I would follow them back.
Got tired of them riding so slow with a black Transam up my jacksie so stopped and did a U turn and went back via Kawakawa Bay,Clevedon , stopping at Whitford for dinner as I was cold and starving. The gravel just north of Kiauau was interesting in the dark. My hands froze in my summer gloves ( winter gloves returned to bike shop for warranty claim) to unfeeling stumps , combined with headlights not so good on tight corners made for an interesting ride home.
So all was not lost,got home safely, practiced some night riding. Hopefully will catch up with you guys someday.

We do the ride:chase: before pub and beer:apint:as me and old guy did . Once we got out of pub you guys did not communicate :argue:with as so we assume you guys go home so we just gone home me and old guy:hug:. It was so cold so I got behind old guy hoping for some heat from Buell but he didn't keep me warm .

[ecobulb]

Stopped at the harareura or however you spell it brewery out by kumeu $11 and you get a rack with a sample of the 5 beers they do. And wedges with teh most sourcream i've ever seen. Well worth a visit if you are out that way.
