Mid-week ride

[Dooly]

That sounds like the go. So MSTRS could you lead us to the place Dooly hangs out next week and then, maybe, Wasp27 could get the map out and do a recognisance look and put a ride together to fill the rest of the day.

Just avoid Burma Rd in my area, which is off Raukawa I think.
Lots of deep shingle, and hairpins on half of it.
Not nice even in a car, let alone stone chips..

Also I am going to Masterton to ride home with them on the 24th. Going down in the morning and ride home with them and the others. QUOTE]

Yep, booked and paid for so don't forget to wait for me.

At last......................someone to :scooter: with. Sort out a leave time closer to the date? Maybe 7ish from Napier?

[yungatart]

MSTRS & I won't be joining you guys for this week's ride. Will be returning from NP after meeting our new G/son AND WE'RE BRINGING MY BIKE BACK!!! I'm so excited.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

What a great ride this week. :love:
Hell yes...............:yes: :yes: :yes:

[hXc]

Mmmm was good to blow the cobwebs, create new marks on pegs and boots and get out and ride.
Freaking awesome ride guys. The natives up north-ish must have been a li'l confused; 7 bikes turn up, grab petrol, grab a feed and head off again. Oh well.

[MSTRS]

Glad to hear your ride was a beauty this week. Big day for us. 400+k to NP, collect YT's EL, quick lunch, 30mins with new grandson, 400+k home. That little EL goes damn well.

[Dooly]

I came over Napier way last night for a ride, saw no one around so blasted around Puketapu area and back roads to home.

[Alice]

I really enjoyed the ride last night, love that Wairoa road. Could not see much heading back into Napier due more to the mass population of insects on my visor more than the fact that it I had on my tinted visor which is not the best in the dark.
Think I have to rank that road as my favourite at the mo.

What time did you make it to the BP? We left about 6.05.
If you are coming next week post here and we will wait for you.

If it is of any help you were not the only one. Wasp27 had the same. That's why I like sunglasses.
Tis a nice road but for the goats and the melted tar.

[yungatart]

Sure did...

I think I've got a fight on my hands... he so loves my bike:love:
It's awesome power, unmatched smoothness and the unbelievably comfortable seat...yep, he loved every minute of it!

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Sure did...

So you can sell the gixxer then? or give it to HXC :dodge:

Bugs, tinted visor, bugs, bugs, bugs. But it was a good ride. Great Hawkes Bay weather.

You got off light, .....I had way more bugs than that, noticed heaps more goats coming back, they seem to hang around the road more on dusk. And mail trucks.

I did'nt expect to meet you guys at the spot you meet as it was after 6.30, but I never saw one bike on the road anywhere, was weird.

Yeah I will advise when I can come, reckon I could probably be there 6.15 latest if all goes well at work.

[caesius]

When and where are these rides? I'm keen to try it out once my bikes back on the road.

[hXc]

When and where are these rides? I'm keen to try it out once my bikes back on the road.Every Wednesday night. We meet at the BP Taradale Rd at about 5:50pm, leave 6 sharp on most nights unless informed of someone who may be running late for whatever reason.

[yungatart]

No! No! (maybe a pillion, if I'm lucky!) And NO!

[Gixxer 4 ever]

No! No! (maybe a pillion, if I'm lucky!) And NO!

What do you mean if you are lucky? I will give you a seat if you need one. After all these are SLOW rides........:innocent: ..........

[yungatart]

Lucky, as in, getting these casts off...so that I can get boots, gloves on and then pillion. If the casts are still on, then the gear doesn't fit - hence no ride, see?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Wasp and I did see a mail truck...not for long.
It was the produce trucks that we had to pass in the last gorge.

The Goats cross the road at dusk to head back in to the hills. I have seen them crossing back in the mornings at daylight when I have gone up for breaky. They are a problem. I did smell dead stuff 3 times as we came home so I assume their are some dead ones. Just got to ride slow enough to stop for them

By the way you ride well. You will be moving up to the Thursday rides soon.

What !!!!!!!!!! you don't trust me Tart? Just kidding. I can remove a cast if you want. i have done it before................

[yungatart]

It's ok Steve, I'll wait for the professional to decide it's ready, thanks for your kind offer tho':sunny:

[yungatart]

I'm not sure that we will be there tonight, Mstrs is still having bike issues, but have received a text from a guy/gal who has just moved in to then area and wants to join the ride tonight. Someone please look out for the new face - he/she is a learner so you might need to drop your pace a bit:mellow: If we don't get there enjoy your pootle, tis a gorgeous day for a ride

[robertydog]

Bike issues?

[yungatart]

Still splattering oil from arsehole to breakfast time after a tappet service! He has a loaner bike - but its a bit of a shitter!

[Alice]

When yu read this you will be home from your ride and as you will know I was not there, ......arrrrr, what am I doing.

Had a bloody good 2 days in sunny Wellington, was b e a u t i f u l there Monday and hot, man, whew, ......with my liners in, cause the way the weathers been I was expecting cold and had nowhere to store the liners so had to sweat it out in them. I enjoyed them later on Tuesday avo coming back along SH50, the temperature dropped, and riding into Napier it started to rain, whats going on, this is the Bay ! a rain free zone, ....not amused.

In case you do not know there was a KB ride ride organised for the 6th, approx 20 riders where expected, I arrived at Rimutux early to find a couple of bikes, after that they just kept rolling in and rolling in, dam good turnout and good to meet some of the people behind the names on KB. Must have been over 40 riders. Was an awesome sight with so many bikes on the road, an interesting mix.

There are road sprints on this Sunday 11th in Carterton, I would be keen to ride down, anyone else ? Good excuse for a bit of ride.

Hope you all have had a good ride this evening, I'm feeling like I missed out already before I even hear some stories, still its going to be hard to beat last weeks ride to Wairoa and back, that was fun.

[floyd2004]

Hi

I just got my bike a week ago and am keen to go for a ride,
I have been looking for any local events to go to but had no luck
till I stumbled onto this thread.
will have to come along and have a look.
:yes:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I missed the ride..............You won't believe it but I got my work bike stuck in da mud up to the seat out the back of da farm. Took an hour and a half to get it out. Never ever had that happen before.

Then the battery went flat and the mud flooded the exhaust pipe and then water got in to the carb via the air intake and I still had to put the cows away and ....................... I am shagged from pulling and pushing the f$%cking thing in knee deep sticky mud.:angry: I hate work

Hope you had a good ride tonight you lot time for :zzzz:

Welcome to our place.
Join us on a Wednesday night. We meet at the BP shop on Taradale road from 5.45 ish and head out about 6.00. We are a slower group that stick to the 100 kmh mark, as a rule. Aye Alice....:innocent: ..... Mind you it is fine to shoot away in your own time and meet us there.

We look forward to seeing you next week. Just rock up and someone will greet you, and you are in.:yes:

What a great trip away you had. Cool. No I didn't know it was on but I had the trip to Gisborn on Saterday so that was good.

Wasn't it just :yes: Could do that again. Mind you a trip to Tarawera would be nice sometime soon.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Bike issues?

He needs to give it to HXC and get a new one...........:dodge: .........

But then again I could look after it and use it on the track from time to time....just to give it a run you understand. Genteel as it goes from corner to corner like a song on a spring morning and all that jazzzzzz......:mellow: ...........

[hXc]

He needs to give it to HXC and get a new one...........:dodge: ......... Dad. Listen. Now. Good advice young Steven.

[Wasp27]

A warm welcome to those new faces on last nights ride....after last weeks marathon we decided that Patangata Pub would be worth a look...looked like rain, but got a few spits was all.Golly, we're a spoilt lot....seems any direction we choose comes up trumps..good to have ya back Tart..one step at a time girl. Nice machine Dooley...sounds sweet too. I'm sorry I cant remember all the new names but if you join up on this site it will be easier to put a name to the face. For me these mid-week rides are good medicine... kinda like a balance really..... Oh well, enough of this silly nonsense. Hi Ho, Hi Ho its off to ...k I go. Cheers W

[Dooly]

Nice ride. Good to get some run in kms on the Trumpy.
Good to see everyone.
I enjoyed the run home, gave it a bit more 'spirit', but that R1 sure left me for dead!:rockon:

[yungatart]

It was great to be back!! I agree, Wasp27, these rides add balance - I have missed them so much. Was good to have new faces, eh?
Thanks W, for the pillion home - it is way more comfortable than the gixxer!
CAn't wait till next week - we have some Aucklanders down staying with us. Be warned! People who ride with this guy tend to fall off!!:innocent:

[robertydog]

Was good ride. Nice to finally see that Speed Triple Dooly. Very nice. Good to see the guys and gals from Onga Onga and Waipuk come thru for a ride, well done.

[Bite Me]

His guys, Thanks for the great welcome on Wendesday and all the help that I got. Gave me a lot of confidence. Can't wait till next Wednesday

[yungatart]

Welcome to KB! It was good to have you along on Wed, glad you enjoyed the ride.
We have some awesome roads around here, really spoilt for choice...and weather. Some lovely ones around Puketap too.....
See you next week!

Yep...just what she said....looooove that avatar.. see ya next week...cheers W

[robertydog]

If anyone cruising up Puketitri Rd, there are road works between Glengarry and Apley Rds. Cleaning up the banks and doing a lot of fencing. Roads covered in a small amount of loose gravel and a lot of dirt.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Have a great ride you lot. :yes:

I am going to miss it again. Mind you this time I don't mind cos it is Valentines day and I have a date. :love:

See you all next week. :rockon:

[robertydog]

Yea guys im a no show this week. Back to work. Have a good ride.

[MSTRS]

Special message to all - make the effort to join us tonight, and meet the fabled McJim and Chickadee

[Alice]

I will be there tonight, it is indeed a lovely day for a ride, this thing called work really is unfortunate. It was a bit of a cool breeze blowing down the front of my jacket on the way to work this morning.

DON'T let McJim lead because who knows where we will end up. Still could make for an interesting long ride, hmm, best put on my clear visor.

[Wasp27]

Sorry folks, I'm taking a leaf from G4E's book.......2 days in ToePaw should do it........hopefully. Have a safe ride.....stay in ya comfort zone. cheers W&D

[Grumpy]

Great ride tonight folks. Excellent roads out there. Sorry I did a bit of a runner at the end there. I wasn't trying to be rude, just had to get home in a bit of a hurry ...... if you know what I mean. Urgent business. :pinch:
See ya all next week.

[Dooly]

Nice country ride, good corners. Good to see such a variety of bikes.
After I turned off to go my way home, the Trumpy got a good blast out down HW50.
I forgot how the head wind blast feels on a naked bike at over 200:shit: ...........

....of course.:yes:

[McJim]

Thanks for having us folks - the jinx is lifted - you rode with McJim and no-one binned.

MSTRS took me for a blat yesterday too - wonderful roads down your way - nice and quiet for a liesurely pootle!

Once again - no-one binned.

Had great weather all the way back to Auckland today..

And no-one binned. I don't feel so paranoid any more.

[MSTRS]

It's the new paint, laddie.

[Bite Me]

Hi guys, go ride on Wednesday. Not a bad trip to Welly and back. NOw a question I need help with. I had a little bin while a way and now need a little paint job. Not much just a bit down by the foot pedal on the right hand side and black. Where can I get this done? Have to get this done before I return the bike to my mate. Any ideas? drop me a line on here or on 021 477 322

[MSTRS]

Go see Greg at Greenmeadows Panel (he is right down the back). They are right beside the hire centre just past the GM shops/lights on Gloucester St. Tell him I sent you.

[fozz rock]

is this the ride that is on twin city motorcycles door??

McJim and Chickadee, it was good to meet you both, I enjoyed the ride back from Taupo last Sunday, once we managed to re unite, (don"t let a Scotsman loose in the North Island )

Yungtart and myself enjoyed our hour on the side of the road in the sun eating iceblocks and watching the world go by waiting for you to realise that we do not just piss off up the road and leave you to your own devices. I love the way you tuck down every wee hill and overtaking move. My VTR has a definite advantage on hills over yours with less weight to transport.

Was neat to have another chick(s) out riding last Wed, that wee 2 stroke is cool, love the noise.

Hope Aucklands treating yu kindly.

[Dooly]

Wait for me tonight guys, I should be there right on 6ish, or just a tad late.
Probably wont be able to leave home till 5.40, so if I crank it up should be ok.
But I will be there.

[MSTRS]

YT and I most probably won't be there tonight. A certain little EL is calling her erstwhile rider to get back on, so we will be doing a (very) leisurely, short-distance pootle to test the waters (so to speak). Watch out for blind, crippled SUVers and Subaru Legacy-drivers....

[Alice]

I'll be there, I'll tell the others your on your way Dooly if they are unaware.

Yuntart, enjoy getting back on the bike, would be nice if you came with us, you could set off while we wait for Dooly, and we could meet you at the Patongita ? Such a beautiful day, I hate been stuck inside, can"t wait to get on the bike tonight.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Thanks everyone. :yes:
What a great ride. :yes: :yes:

Nice to meet you Dooly. Nice bike man.

We killed a few flying things on the way home. :dodge:

What a nice night. You peddle that bike well Wasp. Nice spark show on the way home. You have got very nice lines in and outa the corners Alice. Enjoyed following you tonight. And all the others thanks.
Did I mention how good the ride was tonight? :love: As Wasp said...could just keep going and going.......:innocent: .......

[yungatart]

So, tell us how it went Tart? We are looking foward to you getting back in to the midweek rides. :yes:

Slow and steady - no whoopsie moments but I'm a bit nervous. I kept stalling the damm bike. We did a 40 k pootle around Swamp Rd.It was great to be back on my own wee beastie.

[Alice]

Yep, it was most enjoyable, loved the ride back, great knowing you have the radar detector once we hit the main road. I enjoyed watching you drag off from the lights with Wasp, the GSX against the Harley, I was laughing inside my helmet.
That Trumpy of Doolys is certainly a beautiful thing, but all the bikes are pretty cool, ......and there riders.

[Dooly]

What a great road to Elsthorpe, never been on that one.
Its great country down that way.
First time I've been in the Patangata pub too.
Felt the need to unleash the beast on the way home, really enjoyed the blast from the pub to Mutiny Rd where I turn off to home.
Awesome short straights, tight corners and semi S bend stuff.
Just magic.
Might bring the old Honda next week, dunno.

[Wasp27]

In a word...ABSOLUTELY MAGIC...(thats 2 actually) cheers folks it was good medicine.... sounds like the word is getting round bout just how good our rides are.....gotta be the best bunch in the best place I say...thanks.
Cheers W

Ummmm no. Things have changed on the mid week rides since you were there last. I want you to come back cos they are too bloody fast for me and I feel alone at the back. They just bugger off in to the distance with out a thought of me and da Gixxer.

About bloody time you two showed up. Where the bloody hell have you been??????????? Around New Zealand or somthin. I don't know, you put on these rides for the locals and they just don't turn up for weeks and weeks. :angry: Then outa the blue...............................







It will be good to have you back. :yes:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Hi People.

A few of us talked about the what to do when Daylight saving comes to an end. How does this sound. We talk to the Thursday riders and see if we can join them on a Saturday avo. They moved there rides to Saturday last year.

Pick a ride and we all go at our own pace. Regroup and head for home. Dedicate a sweeper to make sure everyone makes it home. I am keen to bring the two groups together. I recon it will work. If the faster riders are happy for us to join them that is.

So what do you recon?

They're the sports bike guys eh?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Yep. Been a while since I rode with them but most were. All bloody nice people to spend time with.

All we have to "get over" is the fact that we will arrive 5 minutes after them. ( well some of us ) No drama from where I stand but we still keep the group going over the winter. I will send a note to Morepower and see if they are happy for this to happen. I know they will cos anyone of us could just turn up and ride with them.

As long as everyone goes at what pace suits them, all's well.
Sometimes I like to go nuts and twist the wrist right over, but sometimes its good to look at the scenery.
Always good to meet fellow bikers too.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

How do you feel about this MSTRS and yungatart?

After all you put this group together in the first place.:yes: :yes:

[MSTRS]

I'm reasonably comfortable with this idea. I don't know about YT tho...she is really concerned (at the mo) about being an anchor on the rest of (us).

[Wasp27]

Hey there Steve....by the look of it you're almost ready for that V-Rod test ride...eh ??????

[Alice]

Sounds good but theres a but for me, unfortunately I have to work 2 Sats outa 3, so do you think Sundays would suit ? or else I'll be at work sulking and depressed :sick:
I finish work 3.00 the Sat I work, I could sneak off a bit early to make it by 3.00 for a ride. Will you consider that when arranging the rides and see what the others think. :yes:

[MSTRS]

Sat rides in the depths of winter must of necessity start at 2pm. Late enough for the ice to melt, yet just early enough that we don't come home in the dark...

[Alice]

Looks like I'm shit outa luck then.

Still, ........not to late for me to go riding, I"m not afraid of the dark. Cold, dark, .........back home to the fire, hot shower, beer, food, its not all bad.

Love winter !

Now that what I like to hear. I was nicknamed Captain Hurricane a few years ago. I like the winter. Easy to put on warm stuff but this heat kills me. I hate the leathers in 30 + deg. I am sure we can work somthin out. Give it time and see what happens.


Hey there Steve....by the look of it you're almost ready for that V-Rod test ride...eh ??????!

No not yet but one day. But not the ugly bike.


I'm reasonably comfortable with this idea. I don't know about YT tho...she is really concerned (at the mo) about being an anchor on the rest of (us).


No. We ride as a group. We will always wait. I think the group has done well to this point and I am sure we can keep it going. Just ride to your speed and the group will be at the end to sit around and chat. Worked well on the ride on Saterday.

[Wasp27]

Just to throw another idea into the mix......what about arranging with our more southern cuzzies to meet at an agreeable place more central to all.....can be either Saturday or Sundays (got to be flexible with the weather anyway) could include lunches and of course non-alcoholic bevvies around a fireplace....what ya think ?????

I'd like that, save the mad rush I have to do to get to Napier at the present time.
Not that I'm complaining about the fast ride in from the wops.:scooter:

Sounds good! I am reluctant to "join" the Thursday riders at this point, umm, actually reluctant to join back up with you guys too, TBH, as I am so slow...but I will get there
If its a Sunday, Alice could join us too.

[Dooly]

Sat/Sun, does'nt bother me either.

I like this idea. I have spoken to Morepower and they are very happy to let us ride with them. Dave recons we would find their group is a bit more sedate than it use to be. Keep bringing the ideas forward cos I would like to keep the group going over the winter and if we can get Alice along it would be good.

And our favourite Tart. You will get back up to speed. Just lift your head and look way down the road. I will try and get out with you sometime and you can follow and reset your lines. Mind you MSTRS has good lines. :yes:

[Alice]

Would they be interested in doing there ride on Sundays ? I cannot be the only sucker that has to work Sats.

[yungatart]

I'm happy to ride both days or either/or - weather dependent, of course!
I just need to get up to speed first......

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Would they be interested in doing there ride on Sundays ? I cannot be the only sucker that has to work Sats.

Probably not. They set a day and time and work around that. We can do our own thing but maybe the odd weekend we could just turn up and ride with them.
No you are not the only one that has to work weekend. From about June to Jan I work most days. I make the effort to fit a ride in if I can. But I am all but self employed so I try and work it so I can escape in the middle of the day :innocent: sometimes mid week to :love:

[Zukin]

So where are we going tonight?

Carissa and I should be there? Consider it a warm down ride:laugh:

[Wasp27]

By the look of the weather coming in at the moment...might just be going nowhere:cry: bugger...I think we'll have to flag it folks...raining steady here now

[Alice]

I'll turn up cos I have to go that way home anyways and I'm on the motorbike not the pedally running red lights tonight. Its drizzling a bit outside at the mo, but hopefully will pass.

[Dooly]

Its been pissing down in Hastings at work for ages, now I'm home out country its worse and closed in alround.
No fun like that, so I'll probably flag it and catch you all next week.

[yungatart]

We won't be there tonight either guys. Have shit loads to do before our new lad arrives on Sat, and as the weather isn't up to its usual spectacular stuff, we'll take the opportunity to do a few things here
Ride safe
See you next week, maybe with a Finnish pillion!

[Alice]

Its pissing down now, I'll flag it toooo, c u nxt wk.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Thanks for a great ride tonight Wasp. It was good fun. For the others that didn't come we missed the rain and had a ball. :bleh:

We added some town travel in to the ride tonight. BP to Hot chick to Clive to Clifton to the Tukituki (sp) road to Havelock North to Pakipaki to Bridge Pa to Fernhill via 50 to Swamp Road to Hill Road to Bay View.

A light shower in the back of Havelock North then fine to Bay View. But when I turned North to head home it was pissing down.

I :love: riding.

Till next week. :niceone:

I know it was 130ks....how lucky were we to miss most of that rain....has your detector got 'Rain' mode or sumfing....anyway, was heap good medicine....looks like I have to take over the airing cupboard again...thanks again big fella for the push....how bout a push to get me to work...dont really want to go:mellow: much rather ride. Cheers W

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I am not surprised. You posted just before 4.30 ish am. I was still well asleep and stayed that way for another hour.

Just good luck with the rain. But lets not tell anyone that. K work time for me. Have a good day W

[Dooly]

Well thats a bastard!
Was looking forward to a ride last night.
As said earlier, it was totally closed in and bleak and wet out my way.

Look at today, bright and sunny.
I'm definately gonna get on one of the bikes this weekend.
Anyone going riding on Sat/Sun?
Maybe venture out my way for a blast around HW50.

[MSTRS]

Another week and another ride. Who's in? Where to?

For those that road with Gineen it could be a black arm band ride. Will be for me.

[Zukin]

We hope to be there this week, depends what time I get back from Masterton :shutup:

We do have a dinner to go to as well, but riding is much more important :laugh:

Good Idea big fella:yes: .....dont care where:whocares: ...long as we end up where we started..sweet as....cheers W

[Ascott]

I will really really try to get there, I have not been on the old girl for a while so be gentle with me! ( haven't been for a ride either, same deal?)

[yungatart]

You'll be right, Ascott, they are very gentle with me...well, most of the time anyway......umm, sometimes, well TBH, hardly ever, but they are good fun and it is always done in the best possible taste :dodge:

[Dooly]

I'm crook with the flu but I think fresh air thru the helmet will be beneficial.
I'll be there.
Looks like a great day for it too weather wise.

[MSTRS]

Would be good to see you Dooly, as long as that word doesn't apply, hmmm?

[Dooly]

Would be good to see you Dooly, as long as that word doesn't apply, hmmm?

Nice and sedate and focused.:D

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Tarawera?
Are you riding Tart or do you want to hop on the gixxer with me? I hear MSTRS has a passenger tonight.

[yungatart]

Well, that was a bit (read, lot) faster than I'm used to.Good, but fast! I'm so glad I opted to pillion tonight...
A shame we all got so spread out, I rather like riding in a group.
That sunset on the way home was absolutely magic, wasn't it?
Not too sure about all those flashing lights tho, hXc is on the police comms site, but no reports there as yet.
Got home and our dinner was cooked and waiting for us - really nice too!
Thank goodness for teenage boys...especially when there is a jar of Pasta Bake sauce in the pantry!!

[Morepower]

Thanks for hosting the thursday riff raff , It was good to see some old faces and new ones too.

:yes:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

:yes:

Bloody good of you to come along Morepower. :yes: A bit fast for some of us old farts but a great ride and good chance to catch up with our fellow H/B riders. We did get spread out and that is not so good for some of our team but never the less thanks for a good night out.

Bloody good of them to open the bar. Ten points to that man.

Didn't see any Riff Raff. Ummm must have missed them.

Thanks mate. Till the trackday on the 29th aye. Go Alvin...............What a trip that is going to be.......:yes: ........

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Just an idea here. Why don't we see if we can meet up with the Wairapa team in Dannevirke next week? Or somethin?

[Dooly]

Awesome ride.
Have'nt been up there for a long time.
Enjoyed the ride home, long sweeping fast bends.
Tested the old Duc out and it loved it.

Looked pretty serious up the road to warrant an ambulance, 2 fire engines and 3 cop cars.
Heart skipped when coming over a brow at 160 seeing a cop car coming towards me lights flashing!!!!!!

[Zukin]

It was a great ride!! :)

We enjoyed the ride back with the tail wind and looking into the pink sky. Fantastic!!

Did anyone else notice all the sheep/cow shit that had been dumped up both sides of the hill? It you didnt see it you must of smelt it!! :nono:

[yungatart]

Saw and smelled it - not pretty!!
But that sky was a stunner, wasn't it?
I wondered if anyone else noticed it - the joys of being a pillion - you don't have to focus on the road.

[Dooly]

TBH I did'nt smell or see it.
Dunno why........

[yungatart]

TBH I did'nt smell or see it.
Dunno why........


Could this be why????


Nice and sedate and focused.:D

[Dooly]

Could this be why????

Ha!
Was having such a pleasant time on the ride back, just did'nt notice such nasties.:laugh:

[Zukin]

I was just thinking about doing something completely different next week :mellow:

How about we start the ride as per normal (6pm start etc), quick ride and then go to the movies to see the new WILD HOGS (http://www.readingcinemas.co.nz/movies/buytickets.asp?performanceId=224786) movie?
It looks bloody funny :laugh:

There is one screening at 6.30pm?

Your thoughts?
If we can get 10 or more adults, the cost will be $11.00 each?

A group of middle-aged friends decide to rev up their routine suburban lives with a freewheeling motorcycle trip. Taking a long dreamed-of breather from their stressful jobs and family responsibilities, they can’t wait to feel the freedom of the open road.

When this mis-matched foursome, who have grown far more used to the couch than the saddle, set out for this once-in-a-lifetime experience - they encounter a world that holds far more than they ever bargained for. The trip begins to challenge their wits and their luck, especially during a chance run-in with the Del Fuegos, a real-life biker gang who are less than amused with their novice approach.

As they go looking for adventure, they soon find that they’ve embarked on a journey they will never forget.

Cheers Scott

[MSTRS]

Barely warmed up, all the gear on for less than 20mins and then sit in it for 2 hours in a stuffy theatre?
Sorry Scott....not me.

They were all focused on the job in hand. Not one of them had their radars on. I did think about who and what was going on but I was enjoying following you.
I had to pass before the turn off. You know the Gixxer thing....:innocent: .

Yeah, I forgot you had the radar.

I did'nt know it was you behind me until you passed as being a bit dark all I could make out was a slight yellow colour behind and my damn mirrors kept dropping so I could'nt see sweet FA.

Does anyone know what happened to the riders we lost on the journey up?
Wasp etc?

Yep I called Wasp27. Due to the staggered start and the pace he found himself riding alone. So decided to pull the pin and headed back to town.

[Dooly]

What a great day for a ride.
Have got some visitors up from Welly, all have their bike licence.
Took all 4 of the bikes out at once today for about 4hrs around my area, Havelock and Napier.
Ended up pit stopping at the Puketapu pub for a brew.

A few guys were there on their compressors but we were'nt deemed good enough to talk too...:tugger:

A few more guys wandered in on different makes and models, had chats to them.
A guy rounded the corner at a wicked speed on a 996 Duc, and in flash had gone in a blink, was impressive!

Was bloody neat sitting there outside talking about bikes, watching bikes go past........makes it all worth while.

Saw a small group of sprotbikes parked at the Roy's hill rd turnoff on the way home, must of been meeting to go somewhere.

Rode the Triumph today, my mate was on my Duc......all the time I wished I was.
Something wrong there.........hmmm........
Picked up a few stragglers, they all followed us home, sat on the balcony overlooking HW50 and the ranges, sunk more brew, bliss........

Great day to be a biker!!!!!

How about we ride this week and do the movie the week after. The weather is nice and it would be good to get a last ride in for the summer. IMHO As MSTRS said it could be a bit hot in the leathers.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Looking forward to the ride this week. Any plans?

[yungatart]

I plan to ride and stay on my bike! Don't know what yu other buggers are planning tho.

[HATER]

hi guys i will be moving to the bay in the next couple of weeks and would like a few details of when you ride.
i ride most thrusday nights up here with ATNR so im keen to carry that on in my home town.

[yungatart]

Hi hater!
Welcome back to the Bay.
As this is the last week of daylight saving, we will probably go to weekend rides through the winter.
Watch this space for details.
There is a group here that rides on Thursday nights but not sure if they ride through winter or not.

[HATER]

id be keen to ride weekends or week nights.
enjoy riding on my own but its allways a little better when theres a group.

thanks for that ill keep checking the board.

[MSTRS]

Hi Hater - Us Wednesday riders are the cruisy-paced ones. Thursday guys (mostly not KBers) are the 'It's a race and you aint beating me' guys. Both groups will move to Sat PM from next week.

[HATER]

Yeah i think ill stick to the cruisy pace to be honest.
ive got a bike that goes fast but just cause it does dosnt mean it has to.

we have a few of those at ATNR but when they get $630 tickets for doing 127ks on the back wheel riding a thou on a lerners they dont last to long.:laugh:

[yungatart]

Yeah i think ill stick to the cruisy pace to be honest.

You'll fit right in with that behaviour.
Our ride is pitched primarily at newbies and inexperienced riders (although most are experienced), we don't want to encourage "unsafe" attitudes on our ride.

Yeah what yungatart said!!
We can only fall off on non KB organised rides aye yungatart :shutup: :laugh:


Now waits for telling off :dodge:

Seriously they are a great bunch, and if we can keep up with them (or should I say they wait for us) on our little DRZ250 trail bikes, then that has gotta tell you something :)

[HATER]

im a newbie myself only had my licence since november.

i got an exemption from the ltsa to ride my tlr because of my size so ive been thrown in the deep end so to speak.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I plan to ride and stay on my bike! Don't know what yu other buggers are planning tho.

The same.



'It's a race and you aint beating me' guys. .



They do ride a bit faster than us but they are all good riders and they like to let the bikes run out a bit but they don't "Race" as such. The biggest difference is we like to ride as a group and support the newer riders and they like to shot away and meet at the rides half way point and then at the end of the ride.

Both riding groups are for the love of the bikes and friendship etc but we do it in different ways.

[Dooly]

Wait for me tonight guys.
If I'm not there dead on 6 it will just a bit after I reckon.
Have to be another warp speed dash down HW50 and Roys Hill to make it..........what a shame.....

[MSTRS]

Don't think it'll be happening tonight. Unless this gale drops.

[Dooly]

Yeah just been speaking to a few reps that have been in. They said trucks were nearly being toppled on roads around the area in their travels.

[Dooly]

If its on, dont wait around for me.
Things have turned to shit here at work and looks like I'll be staying late.

Let us know when, where, the Saturday rides start.

[yungatart]

Count me out tonight guys, even if the weather fines up, i won't be able to make it. hXc has band practice, normally gets a ride, which is unavailable tonight, so he either rides my bike or I take him - either way I can't ride!

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Yeah just been speaking to a few reps that have been in. They said trucks were nearly being toppled on roads around the area in their travels.

Pissing down here. I am out tonight. Have a good ride if you are going.

I would like to thank Tart and MSTRS for all the great rides we have had this passed summer. You guys rock and it has been great. Lets see what we can do for Saturdays from here on. Thanks for a great summer of riding people

Cheers

Hear,Hear..I agree wholeheartedly...:niceone: It cant be easy keeping such a diverse group of people heading in the right direction.....well, nearly all.....we have something special....something worth keeping:love: look forward to the next phase..thanks everyone, its been a lot of fun..something I really look forward every week.. the companionship has been awesome..lets keep it together:grouphug:

[yungatart]

Hey guys, thanks for that! it is real nice of you to say so...but..all we did was say -"hey, who wants to ride?"
It is you guys who turned up regularly that made our midweek rides what they are. You deserve as much thanks as we do!

[Dooly]

I've enjoyed the rides even though I was a late comer. Was good meeting fellow KBers and others.

Looking forward to weekend rides, when shall we start.

[Grumpy]

Yeah, thanks for the evening rides through the summer guys. Only managed to make a few but they were all good. We'll have a little rug rat to liven things up next summer so I'll probably be making it more regulary I reackon ... :dodge: Looking forward to some Saturday rides.

And as it is our 25th wedding anniversary :shit: I recon I might take da Moooo. :love: She can open the beer and cook da food. :angry: :innocent:

[MSTRS]

Time to resurrect the midweek evening ride? What does everyone think?

[yungatart]

As long as its not "freeze your tits off" weather like last night was.
Some cruisy evening rides woould be the shizzer, I reckon.
Gotta watch out for that sunstrike tho'.

[Dooly]

I think at this stage the Saturdays suit me more.
At least for the next month or so.
Work and property logistics and time to get there kinda rules me out.

[Wasp27]

Time to resurrect the midweek evening ride? What does everyone think?

Yep.............:clap:

[MSTRS]

Not sure how things will pan out tomorrow, but all things being equal we'll be at BP T/Rd about 5.45...unless it's blowing or wet

[Stickchick]

I won;t be there I have Darts tonight

[yungatart]

No I didn't. It was a lovely evening for a ride. Just Darby & Joan tonight. Pikers, the rest of the HB lot.

hehe yea yea... i would've come but once again the Starlet hasn't managed to shake off two wheels yet and become a motorcycle, it's not for lack of trying though.... looking forward to eventually getting back onto the road riding scene, the GPX is running for now, just gotta see how long for and if its going to be reliable. have done about 25km's on it since the rebuild

[robertydog]

Pikers, the rest of the HB lot.

But what about the wind?:lol:

[yungatart]

But what about the wind?:lol:

For a change, there was NO wind!
It was a very pleasant ride, apart from a couple of cagers who tried to climb inside my exhaust pipe??
Sorry that Wednesday doesn't suit you BigG...the fast guys ride on Thursdays from the Mobil station, I think. You could join them....

[Colapop]

Where's Lee and he's Monday/Tuesday rides..? Actually... where's Lee?

[yungatart]

He has been quite conspicuous by his absence, eh?
I have no idea!

[Stickchick]

Well I'm glad I went to darts as i got a 180!!!! YEAHHHH!!!! For those people that have no idea of darts it the little middle section of the 20 and thats putting 3 darts in it. Its the highest score and the hardest to get.

Is anyone going for a ride tomorrow night? can I ask for a pillon seat? Being the good samaritan that I am I have lent my bike to Conquisidors (sp) son and he has it till Thursday afternoon so he can sit his test:Oops: At least its being used I suppose :whistle:

Get your bike back - I have an idea...

Do tell!!!!

I'm thinking that with this being a short week and next too, that the really regular Wed evening rides won't get underway for another couple of weeks.
So, YT & I (and anyone else of course) could swing by to collect you (on your own bike of course) to do an easy pootle loop and convene for coffee at yours afterwards??
I know it's not an exceedingly cunning plan, but I think it has some merit.
Or are you still....limping?

[Stickchick]

I can ride...thinking I might go for one tonight providing the wind stays as is. Working on getting the bike back...Will ring you tonight as I'm waiting for him to ring me.

Tonight is flagged for YT & me....

You wouldn't expect paid up card carrying members of the Wimpy Club to actually ride in the rain, would you?
Good grief, we would have to abandon our hard fought membership to said club if we did that!
