Hamilton Fridays @ 10 pm

[ZeroIndex]

Tonight will be on as usual, Sunshine Ave, 10pm... not sure how long it will last with the BRAT squad around, even though they're doing a teriffic job, they should leave us alone with all the dobbing in of dumbarse cagers... but until we know what the exact boundaries are, we'll never get anywhere...

[Teflon]

i want to. never see you out that much. ill be in te rapa to night
Yeah i know.. see those little darkies who wear all red, well im not on their christmas list this year.

I may see you at that car park?

I'm starting to think that after last night's incidents, Friday Night Te Rapa is gonna be canceled until further notice. If anyone would like to keep it going, please let me know, but I'm guessing that the majority would prefer to do their own thing like go into town, party, or drink...

This has been a good meetup, and although it has become a really successfully large group of riders that meet every Friday night, and it will be sad to see it go, but this is a chance for the Hamilton Wednesday Night-styled rides to really take off...

The Mods will probably be quite happy with this move too, with the amount of semi-necessary PD in this thread (without it the thread probably wouldn't be going still), we made it to 51 pages, which I admit isn't close enough to the Tauranga thread, but hey... we gave it a go :second:

So unless someone really wants to keep meeting up on Fridays at Te Rapa, which is pretty much just "asking for it", I suggest everyone move there posts and focus to Hamilton - Riders (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=50243)

Thanks again everyone for the effort you put in showing up on the cold nights at Te Rapa, week after week. Hope to see you guys on a Wednesday Night Ride (or similar) soon.

The lovely Police force showed force in the carpark with some of the restricted riders in our group...

[Momentum]

i was heading to the car park after you guys.

saw the disco lights so turned and went home

by the sounds of it, it was a good thing I did. I dont want a $400 fine again they hurt

[littleswettie_2006]

so did they ask for drivers licence or something, kyle and I had track day and by the time we got home we couldn't be bothered. Would you mind filling in all the gaps as i think we would like to know what thappened.

Once I told them about my full licence, they left me alone...

[littleswettie_2006]

you got your full licence now?
did anyone get done last night and who was out?
Did the cops just tell you guys to leave or was there force involved?

[ZeroIndex]

so you lied to the cops about your liscence.

And considering I wasn't wearing gloves, jacket or helmet, or anywhere near a bike when the cops stopped for someone else, I don't think he had any right to be asking what license I had...

He asks everyone that are standing next to their bikes, after just getting off them and taking their helmets off while he's standing there: "What license are you on?" from person to person, and I'm standing nowhere near the bikes, and he points at me and says: "What license are you on?", so I said: "My full". And then he went on and ticketed everyone for being out after 10pm...

After a little thought, and after receiving the trackday sample photos that I went to, I went and looked for a little 'piece of road' picture, and thought I'd use my shocking paintbrush skills to show you my wheelie angle, according to a guy from Friday night (the first one to get pulled over)...

PS. Yes, I know this is not a real picture, but would imitate the same sort of lean angle that I managed in the car park :)

[The Flux Capacita]

this one too but i like the bandit better...fairings are just expensive to replace if i fall off again which i can't garuntee won't happen

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=103397448

[Warr]

Hey FC, both bikes look pretty good. Bandit may be slightly roomier, but no fairing - which means open road riding takes it out of you more.
Honda says its done less k's. Have to get rego off hold.... but would be my pick perhaps....... Only cause it is prob quicker, but I dont know!!

[The Flux Capacita]

thanks dude:)

Yes, I actually do work stuff now... studying at ATC doing security, plus I do work experience here and there...

[The Flux Capacita]

kool my flat mate works there teaching english...i remember nto so long ago you were taking the piss out of a security guard for telling us to move on from outside stitch embroidery one friday night...as if one security guard is really gona make a difference :P haha nice one

security seem to get an average to good pay for not so hard work and you could get into club security which mite be funny...especially at the outback HAHA

well i jsut loged on to trademe and the bandit has gone for $3010... i was about to bid on it but yea the honda would be faster...i'd prefer it to be in a little better condition though so i might as if he puts rego on then i'll use buy now or something on my mates account

don't like the dent in the tank and looking at the back it almost appears as if the sub frame is a little off center

You may seriously want to consider a single or v-twin 250 till you know how to ride, then upgrade... and get something without fairings, therefore if you ever crash it, you won't have to worry about fairing damage

[The Flux Capacita]

yea thats why i was looking at the bandit because fairings are just expensive but i don't really wana feel all the wind when i'm not riding in town...i was almsot tempted to bid on the bandit just before it closed but decided to see if anyone else had something to say then it was to late so yea

So you actually have money to get another bike now? good to hear you're gonna stop being a pussy... Once you get another bike, you can get Terminal to teach you how to ride

[ZeroIndex]

Ok, nothing still happening on Friday, but if you wanna try piss off the cops, you can show up anyway... I won't be there, as I'm doing Security for an 18th birthday party, and I'm gonna try confiscate as much alcohol as possible... :yes:

Hey all little 18 year olds that I get to boss around in Melville on Friday night........ :motu:

[The Flux Capacita]

i've had the money for ages just the bikes have gotn cheaper all of a sudden so i can actually afford them...i wasn't gona spend $4000 on a bike exactly the same as my old one with higher mileage etc and with my dad getting all serious about me not getting another one or else i decided to look at cars as well and which ever has a good deal i'd spend the money on

i need other things as well like a computer, new flat etc so yea just managing my money as wisely as possible while still looking for a bike

and i'd rather get the older guys like TA, quasi and warr to teach me because ride harder kinda doesn't really help:P

[TerminalAddict]

old? . ..I ain't old young fella :shifty:

*waves my walking stick*

[The Flux Capacita]

haha rephase old to more experianced :P what ya reckon though...should i use buy now on that honda, comparing it to my last bike there's only a little bit higher mileage but the carbs have been cleaned and tuned etc, and the only other thing is i had better brakes on my last bike (though they didn't help me) the small dent in the tank mentioned isn't even noticeable

scratchd muffler is easy enough to replace which i'll do if you guys are at robs let me know what ya think:) coz i'm hovering above the buy now button HAHAHA getting desparate to know if i can do much better than that should i wait a little longer

Yeah Bruce, you should get the GSX250. If it's for $3k, it's a bargain, plus, when you want to do wheelies, there's a guy in Hamilton that can do them really well, and he'll probably show you how to as well :)

[The Flux Capacita]

nah i got that cbr:) used a mates buy now...wish i had seen this earlier though because i would have rather brought the gsx...it looks in much better cond but when ya use buy now its gone...i reckon the cbr will still be a good bike though:)

i don't know about the wheelies just yet...kiwifruit offered to teach me on the kr back in the day...i think i should get some track time first before i go trying any more stunts and yes i did try them when no one was looking incase i screwed it up and had lots of people laugh at me for being a git

i'll organise to pick the bike up after i finnish exams so he can put a new WOF and rego on it and that way i'll have some more $$$ to spend on anything else i mite need, like boots and a new helmet...oh and a license upgrade (about time)

If you had taken up that offer, your lines might've improved, due to the extra balance skills you acquire while balancing the bike on one wheel... You should learn how to do wheelies as soon as you get your next bike...

For some insane reason someone who reads this thread has decided to occasionally red rep me for owning a Bandit GSF 1200s
Comments of “Bandits suck” “gsf's are gay get a GSXR”
Seriously I don’t give a toss what you think, or about red rep. I guess it’s some one who can’t keep up with an old man like me on an old mans bike like mine, your someone who has obviously never ridden one and has no idea what a Bandit’s all about.

But what I was wondering was – is a gay bike an insult? Why? Can’t gay people ride or something.

Uh...yeah...I'm gonna have to go ahead and say that that's the most unconventional advice I've ever seen about how to learn to ride. Do they teach wheelies at track schools? MSF? Advanced MSF? RRRS? I have no doubt that being able to wheelie well gives you a better understanding of your bike, and better balance, but I've heard of plenty of squids who can hold a balance point but are rubbish in a curve.


But what I was wondering was – is a gay bike an insult? Why? Can’t gay people ride or something.
Bandits aren't gay. Bandits are legends. They're indestructible and versatile. The people red-repping you are gixxer riders who are just embarrassed that you can ride as fast as them on your old clunker, and not be dying of agony after 100 km. I like supersports bikes as much as the next guy, but seriously, in New Zealand the only reason I can think of to have one on the road is to be a poser.

Missed out ......
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TA again"

[Bnonn]

The point of my question was to imply that you yourself aren't a stunter, and therefore to suggest that being able to pop a wheelie has nothing to do with being able to ride fast. Of course, if you think ZeroIndex is right, by all means contradict me. It just seems to me that if being able to hold a balance point was really that helpful to improving your lines, they'd teach it at track schools and the like.

People keep seeming to think I'm getting uptight just because I don't use graphical smileys or something O.o But my point still stands: I don't think that being able to pop a wheelie is a skill which directly affects your ability to ride better in general. Or, more pertinently, practicing riding will improve your riding a lot more than practicing wheelies. If I'm being serious about this, it's only because ZeroIndex seemed quite serious when he said this to Flux:


If you had taken up that offer, your lines might've improved, due to the extra balance skills you acquire while balancing the bike on one wheel... You should learn how to do wheelies as soon as you get your next bike...
Since Flux is not an experienced rider and is still figuring things out, it seems like this is really unconstructive advice, since it's basically BS. The first thing a new rider should be doing is not trying to learn how to wheelie. Maybe Rob was just trying to wind the guy up, but it didn't seem like it to me, and I don't like to see dodgy advice being given to someone who might not know better. If that makes me a humorless plonker, at least I'm a humorless plonker who might have helped someone not drop their new bike doing pointless stunts.

haha rephase old to more experianced :P what ya reckon though...should i use buy now on that honda, comparing it to my last bike there's only a little bit higher mileage but the carbs have been cleaned and tuned etc, and the only other thing is i had better brakes on my last bike (though they didn't help me) the small dent in the tank mentioned isn't even noticeable

scratchd muffler is easy enough to replace which i'll do if you guys are at robs let me know what ya think:) coz i'm hovering above the buy now button HAHAHA getting desparate to know if i can do much better than that should i wait a little longer

People keep seeming to think I'm getting uptight just because I don't use graphical smileys or something O.o But my point still stands: I don't think that being able to pop a wheelie is a skill which directly affects your ability to ride better in general. Or, more pertinently, practicing riding will improve your riding a lot more than practicing wheelies. If I'm being serious about this, it's only because ZeroIndex seemed quite serious when he said this to Flux:


Since Flux is not an experienced rider and is still figuring things out, it seems like this is really unconstructive advice, since it's basically BS. The first thing a new rider should be doing is not trying to learn how to wheelie. Maybe Rob was just trying to wind the guy up, but it didn't seem like it to me, and I don't like to see dodgy advice being given to someone who might not know better. If that makes me a humorless plonker, at least I'm a humorless plonker who might have helped someone not drop their new bike doing pointless stunts.

He can change his opinion if he's going to be serious, and he should also change his ways... smileys are made to look nice with graphics... whether or not you are left-handed or not... :) :yes: :scooter: :first::innocent: :sunny: :nono: :Punk:

anyone know where i can get a sweet new muffler for 500 or less? was looking at one on tardme but seeing as i don't have a computer at home i missed out

not a neccessity but would be nice not to have one thats all scratched up

[heymista]

lol,great sense of humour zeroindex.Some people need to learn how to lax out.:yes:

[carver]

if you want to learn how to stunt i can teach ya, so so can my friend from California-Justin.
Gaylander, you still want to race me?
one weekend we should give it a go, up the kaimai's...yeah?
Bandits rule, you can wheelie them forever, brakes aint the best, and they are a bit ponderous in the corners, but a good ol cheap alrounder.
too bad im stuck with my great handling honda 125! :shutup:

yea i saw that...doesn't look road legal though which mite be a problem if i get pulled over for excessive noise...my other concern is if it will pass a WOF...i guess i could always buy it and find out if it'l pass...if it doesn't i'll just swap it over when i get a WOF and swap back when i'm riding:D

bro, who gives a fuck, my mate gerrie has a DRZ 400 sm with a twin bro's can..that is deafaning, he has never been pulled.
my GSXR had a gutted can, that thing was loud, never got pulled.
it will passa wof cause inline 4's are quiet on idle..
besides, you hardly ride anyways-therefore lessing your chances of getting caught!

[The Flux Capacita]

yea fair enough...and then there's old gayson and that other guy who ride around with no exhaust and they're still on their bikes (heard gayson go down the street thats the next block over from my house)

mite as well ask the dude to make one for me but i'll have to get my bike and take some pics so he can make one to fit:)

i remember zero had one made for his kinetic back in the day...that set car alarms off HAHA

yeah, listen to quasi's bike..
gayson is having his bike confiscated, for being caught speeding while having his lisence suspended..loss of lisence too..
serves him right.

[The Flux Capacita]

thing is though if i want a can from that guy i have to show him an original one and he's in chch so kinda to much hassel

does quasi still do remus exhausts?

shame on gayson for being a dumbarse though haha

[Momentum]

Flux dont worry about spending money on a 250 man.

Just put some good rubber on it. And save the money on the zorst for a Big bike onces ya get your full.

Then spend up on the Bling bits

[The Flux Capacita]

yea but i still got a long way to go before i get my full on account of being lazy and not getting my restricted this time last year

if i don't spend the $$$ on the bike it'l probably go into a new car or soemthing else

[Sidewinder]

yup wait for a big bike, but bruce dont be afraid to spend money on some good gears tho

[Bnonn]

Agreed. Don't put money into the bike, which you'll either crash or sell in a year. Put it into decent gear which will last you for decades.

[ZeroIndex]

Won't be making it... highsided my bike this morning around 3am... totalled my helmet, have a few stiches in my chin :doctor: . Other than that I'm ok, but my bike has seen better days... headlight smashed, front brake-lever is non-existant, and the oil thingy on the side of my bike (the reason for crash-bungs), is half gone, so if anyone has a new right hand side oil thingy for an FZR400, let me know.

[TerminalAddict]

oh dear.

glad you're semi ok tho'

[smoky]

The strange thing is I can hardly remember my ride..... then I wake up, facedown on the road, gloves covering my chest, helmet touching the ground, and some policeman talking about chasing me, then I woke up in hospital... f**king munted night...

Police chase? were you charged with anything?
Were you really tired and fell asleep or under the influence of something?

Glad your Ok though

rob's chin is bruised as the helmet moved up and let his chin scraped the road, the bike is fucked on the right side...jez, its worse than i thought.

Not sure if I'm being charged with anything... I remember leaving David's house (Carver's brother), and then woke up lying facedown on ground, with a cop asking me why I didn't stop... then I woke up in hospital... Got to David's at 11:30pm, had 2 beers, and then left just after 3am, so it's not like I was intoxicated or anything... was a bit tired, but yeah, just so damn random... wish I knew what happened... damn sore at the moment :(
