Yes, offramp for Oteha valley road is the one after Greville Rd. Dont miss it otherwise you'll be stuck on the mway till silverdale!
Turn left (obviously towards the stadium) as for which car park. I'm not clear on that one yet, but there's not normally too many people around at that time on a sunday, so I'll be riding around till I find the right one!

[silverado]

You'll see me looking lost as well.:mad:

[Devil]

Home already. Damn I'm quick.

Bit of a fuck up and a half once we'd got to warkworth, spent a while riding round finding out where everyone had gone in Mangawhai.

Damn weather.

[SuperDave]

Ahh I just had a look at nz_liam's profile pic :eek5:

Ride was okay, funny shit with that cop at the start.
Though I wasn't feeling in the groove, maybe too late a night last night.

Maybe it's cause it was Sunday?

[sillywilly]

thanks for the outing maha, twas an interesting tiki tour,the wet roads and loose gravel all add to the skills.anyone else think menu was a bit pricey($20 for chicken salad)?
went down 16 on the way home,no cops and mostly dry roads,best part of the day riding wise

[toymachine]

If that wasn't an interesting ride home...

Left the group at Wellsford and went 16, tucked up behind a Mazda 6 sedan for a long time (thought it might have been that cop out there) till he started crossing centrelines, so I went past him. Had a by and large clear run so got to maintain some nice speed...

Turned off up somewhere, went past a car, up next was a courier's van... cept he didn't like the idea of me going past... que a courier van doing 140-150 so I couldn't pass (bandit stops pulling hard around there)...

Eventually we came to a tight right hander where he wobbeled all over the show, went up on three wheels, plenty of tiresmoke and was lucky not to end up in a ditch the stupid prick, went past while showing my appreciation...

Onto Old North road through some lovely twisties, overtook a landrover coming out of a corner onto a straight... coming over back to my side of the road hit a really rough patch of seal which punctured my rear tyre making the next few corners really, really interesting... so I pulled over, and my poor bike went home on a trailer :(

Great day out, weather could have been better but you get that. We had a great ride back down 16 not a cop in sight, not that we were exceeding the speed limit. All in all a good day and have to agree the most expensive salad I've had in a while.

cheers

[paturoa]

My first KB ride and I had a great time. Met some new people and realy enjoyed the riding.

[duckaddict]

Thanks maha_man (and woman), good fun!



...Bit of a fuck up and a half once we'd got to warkworth, spent a while riding round finding out where everyone had gone in Mangawhai...


Yup, happened to the three of us as well :( - luckily one of us knew the way to the next meeting point.



...anyone else think menu was a bit pricey($20 for chicken salad)?...


Last week I had the same toasted s/w at Kiauwa (spelling?) f n c shop and it was $2.50, paid $5.00 for it today.



...seal which punctured my rear tyre making the next few corners really, really interesting... so I pulled over, and my poor bike went home on a trailer :(

Sorry to hear about that... hmm... you got home early on the trailer.

[SN4PD]

Bloody good day out, woodcocks was especially good the second time round :banana:

Snaped 180 odd photos and of them about 75 are keepers, just reloaded the laptop and forgot to install photochop, will post them later tonight (once I have got the software from work).:beer:

[Maha]

Great day everyone, the wind served it up a couple of times heading into Mangawhai. A few of you took a wee detour down 16 and back across Woodcocks on the way back, and stoped in at the Puhoi...:beer:
Mangawhai rd has been in better condition than it was today, but the road out to Kaiwaka is always a good 2nd choice....:blip: Met up with the arse slapping :spanking: DMNTD at Wellsford who had left his Norf crew at the M/Whai pub to have a wee play....Was very nice of the HP dude to give us a riders briefing at the start.....:corn: Sorry about the cock up at Warkworth, thought that those who left went on up to the lunch stop, not to gas up?..:whistle:
Fantastic turn out, someone counted 26 bikes at the start and we picked a few more along the way.... nz_liam was busy with the camera as was Oldguy, cant wait to see the pics guys....:2thumbsup
Cheers to everyone that made it, and Julie?.. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks to terbang for riding 2up....

[Mom]

What a great day! Fantastic to catch up with old friends and make a few new ones.....that wind was interesting at times.......nothing like crossing the centre line without meaning to eh Maha man?

Cant really comment on lunch prices, tho I did manage to eat half of someone elses toastie by mistake :whistle:

Big :2thumbsup to plod who followed us from Silverdale, and then told his friend to come and park up at the starting point......nothing like looking after our safety is there?

Looking forward to seeing those pics guys..

[DMNTD]

Good to catch up with you all this arvo y'all. Met some cool people I hadn't met prior and caught up with the usual cheeky buggers :chase:
Had a good cruise down to Puhoi after Mangawhai and had some interesting discussions with complete strangers...love it.
Bloody brisk blat home afterwards...hell! :whistle:

Cheers Mr Pace-Setter

[oldguy]

Thanks to Mr and Mrs maha man for a great ride today, was an interesting ride for me riding with a rear tyre that had a slow leak every chance I got I would stop and put more air in. most of the trip would have been done with about 25 psi tyre pressure, was OK untill cornering and with the wind made for a very interesting ride.

Was good to catch up with KBers I'd met before, and those I had seen before but not spoken to till today, and others I met today.

Here are my pics, was having so much trouble with the camera today.

[terbang]

:msn-wink: Thanks for organising a great ride maha man (+ Mrs maha) and thanks for your great company. It was a change of scenery and a change of company to the coro loop and the ornery looking usual suspects from down south (ok Korn you are excepted). A good sensible riding pace on a wettish sort of a day with no bins or frights. Big ups to the Rozzer who had the front to pitch up at the meet and give us a friendly briefing. So scumdog you are not alone when it comes to being not a bad sort of a cop. Good skills ZRXer for giving him a friendly introduction. Those that know Steve will agree he wouldn't have exactly looked like Santa Claus dressed in leather as he strolled across the carpark and stuck his head in the cops window.
I continue to marvel over the power of the internet and its ability to get like minded people together from all walks of life to share knowledge, share their common interests and, most importantly, to socialise.
And finally , Julie you are one plucky young lady who is not only brave in your life but bloody brave jumping onto the back of an old Helensville Hoons bike..! Far braver than me, it's clear you have done it all before and are an easy pillion to take. And you shouted me lunch and beer..! Get a bike, you will be fine and with the right encouragement, will make a good rider. Meantime you can ride with me anytime...
P.S. Madduck I sorta can see where the duck part came from but you aint half as mad as they said you were..

[Blondini]

Great day everyone, the wind served it up a couple of times heading into Mangawhai. A few of you took a wee detour down 16 and back across Woodcocks on the way back, and stoped in at the Puhoi...:beer:
Mangawhai rd has been in better condition than it was today, but the road out to Kaiwaka is always a good 2nd choice....:blip: Met up with the arse slapping :spanking: DMNTD at Wellsford who had left his Norf crew at the M/Whai pub to have a wee play....Was very nice of the HP dude to give us a riders briefing at the start.....:corn: Sorry about the cock up at Warkworth, thought that those who left went on up to the lunch stop, not to gas up?..:whistle:
Fantastic turn out, someone counted 26 bikes at the start and we picked a few more along the way.... nz_liam was busy with the camera as was Oldguy, cant wait to see the pics guys....:2thumbsup
Cheers to everyone that made it, and Julie?.. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks to terbang for riding 2up....

That place ain't cheap thats for sure...

Last time we went there I asked for a redbull, pulled out $3 in coins expecting it to be more expensive in such a place... then she tells me its $5 for one can :Pokey: Nice people though.

Hah yeah I just wasn't too sure how spirited to get with the riding. Sorta tried to keep it somewhere between a Sunday drive and a full blown Coro Loop. Couldn't have yer yawning all the way around yet I didn't want to beat you up and put you off KB rides and bikes forever either.

Even though he's a mate of mine, I can't help but be impressed with Blairos (blue VTR 250). Six months ago he had never even sat on a bike and I am sure that those who attended yesterday can attest to his polished performance and good road riding skill. It even puts us old fellas to shame a bit.

Blairos and I were trialling a well priced Bike to Bike communication as well. Its the old style Pinfold system that he is flogging on Tardme fo $20. We had a couple of UHF sets we got cheap from Jaycar and, apart from the first set of batteries being a bit cheap and not lasting, it worked a treat even with ear plugs in. We were still getting excellent communication up to 120 KPH (oops) and the range was fine for a normal group ride. We intend to use the system between 3 bikes on a south Island trip we are planning in Feb next year. $63 sees each individual setup with helmet speakers, microphone and push to talk button and a radio. A good deal I reckon

I didn't get the chance to really hear what he had to say - I was too busy trying to get my earplug out of my fairings with a stick whilst he was yapping away. Must've come across as being really rude haha.

But from what I heard from others he sounds like an alright guy.

He flashed his lights at me when I went zooming past in the dome instead of writing out a ticket, I'd say he was a bloody good copper! The kind we need more of....... (Too many speed NAZIS out there)

He did the standard road safety delivery. Thats what they pay him to do. He then showed a human side and offered some realistic advice on how to avoid getting nicked for speeding. He also flashed his lights at me to slow down from XXX Km's through the dome valley. We need more like him. Not for letting us get away with it, but for understanding what we do a bit more.

[Scouse]

Hey thanks to the Maha's for organising the ride it was a good one DMNTD was living up to his name. I agree Bruce, Blair certainly has come on in leaps and bounds and was setting a good pace on the VTR. was good to meet up with the Maha's and the Busa's at last fuckin good folk.

And as a funny ending to a days riding. As Steve Blair and I pulled into the Hooten park to drop Julie back to her van, we sprung a couple of blokes shagging in broad daylight in the front seat of their car..! Jeez we were all choking and spluttering, ditched Julie (really saw her off safely) and couldn't get out of there quick enough.:sick:

Not a good start to the day when mr plod waits at both meeting points but luckly that was the only place they where apart from dome valley. Big thanks to mrs maha for not feeding maha man before the ride this made for a faster pace to lunch. good to catch up with every one and meet some new faces. thanks to liam and old guy for some wicked photos of us on the road. Good day alround although trip back to poihu was a little slower as mr maha man had lunch which seamed to slow him down some mind you he did come in before chris. Thanks team maha for another great ride.

[The_Dover]

hey spank, can you set up kiwirapist.co.nz, kiwiburglar.co.nz and kiwidealer.co.nz and the pigs can fuck off and watch those sites for criminal activity.
