Guy Fawkes Auckland 250 ride, BBQ + Fireworks

[Maverick]

Hi Guys,

The next 250 ride is scheduled to land on Guy Fawkes,
Thought it could be fun to go for a ride, then have a BBQ somewhere and let off some fireworks,

Update:

At this point it looks like a ride out east starting around 3pm, then anyone who wants to come back to our place to get takeout and let off some fireworks is welcome.
This invitation is generally open to those who ride with us and their kids/partners etc, Im not posting my address and details for all and sundry to turn up later.
Alcohol is BYO, Drink driving is not encouraged or advised.
Fireworks, I will be getting some, people are welcome to chip in towards these or bring their own to add. (if you want to drop some (or anything etc) off before the ride let me know)
Food, people can either chip in for take out or pick up whatever they fancy. My place is pretty close to almost any take out you could want. (Pizza, Chinese, Mcd's, BK, Wendys, KFC, Oporto)

As with all the 250 rides we dont tolerate stupid behaviour, the same applys in this case to firework safety afterwards. (As much as we might joke about setting fire to Warlock's Hyosung, I like to think that most members are intelligent enough not to take it seriously).

I'm guessing the BBQ and fireworks will have to be at someones place... I don't think its legal to set off fireworks in public places... like beaches etc

Sounds like a plan... weather pending I'm keen :)

[paketa]

Great idea! There is a place called shakespear park, about 30-40 min drive from Auckland. Im sure u can light up some fire works thea and they have BBQ machines 2:)
Cant say for sure that i'll come but if i'd be free i'll definitely tag alone;)

[Maverick]

I have a reasonably good place for fireworks, but my BBQ is in a bit of an old rusty state, will talk to my neighbour tomorrow to see if he wants to join us if his BBQ is a goer (he's a biker too), (Im in Ellerslie).

Yeah thats a great place... do you live in the area? Maybe you could go check out the signs and see if they allow it... if so then we'd need to organise a cage to get the BBQ there and back lol

Its quite a long drive back in the dark for inexperianced riders though, and if the weather turns nasty it wouldnt be that great, someones place would be better,
As mentioned Im happy to have it at my place, just need to sort a better BBQ. My place would be on the way home for most people from the usual 250 ride routes, (except McJim as you cant get much closer then him).

Sounds bloody good :D

Only if its WarlockNZ's Hyosung, they are ment to be retardent, or is that just retarded?
:innocent:

[placidfemme]

So would this firewords thing just be for the 250 riders? Or will it be open to ALL KB'ers? I think if it's open there will be a bigger response

[Scouse]

So would this firewords thing just be for the 250 riders? Or will it be open to ALL KB'ers? I think if it's open there will be a bigger responseyer ive got like 4 250's and combined them into one bike

[Maverick]

Its aimed at riders who come to the responsible 250 learner rides, so if you are prepared to come ride with us then sure, you are welcome, we have a few larger bikes that come on our ride a few times.

Note, as always dangerous behaviour isnt welcome on these rides, and that extends to the social function afterwards also in this case,

[Static]

i might have plans at this point but if not then id be keen

[adiddy]

i think ill be keen , what nite is it?

[Steam]

i think ill be keen , what nite is it?

Are you serious?

[El Dopa]

Clashes with the track day, but I'd guess the two groups of riders are almost entirely mutually exclusive.

[Hellraiser]

any chance of making if a family thing?

i.e. somewhere we can get the partners and sprogs to meet us after the ride

[WarlockNZ]

Only if its WarlockNZ's Hyosung, they are ment to be retardent, or is that just retarded?
:innocent:

Ohhh .. that was uncalled for .. lol

[WarlockNZ]

i think ill be keen , what nite is it?

remember, remember the 5th of November :)

[lukelin250]

lets blow up a hyosung as a grand finale to the fireworks show ye haaaaaa :sunny:

shakespeares a great venue,i live up the road and went and checked with the ranger and he said it was common and legal for people to do there guy fawkes there.as long as it is done in a controlled safe way. nyone wana donate a hyosung?

[WarlockNZ]

dont look at me .. i like my bike, i think Swannys got one hes trying to get rid of :dodge:

[lukelin250]

hahah good sport warlock :Punk:

[gijoe1313]

Ooooh, I do so want to go to this and bring along all my stash of fireworks and play with ( I can imagine what will happen, one of the dangling fuses hits my hot cans and then I'll be rocketing down the street past everyone ... before exploding into a cornucopia of crescending incandescent illuminations! ) :dodge:

Sounds a right goer this! Need to get that weather genie out for the night methinks Mav :msn-wink: No need for torches, the reflection from Warlock's ride will sort that out! :yes:

Now where did I put those incense sticks and my stash of illegally kewl fireworks? ( little rolling tanks, battleships you put in water and skyrockets that go up seriously high! ) :sunny: :innocent:

[WarlockNZ]

see .. i knew my ride was illuminating :) .. just nice to have it confirmed. :Punk:

[-JC & Eleanor-]

hey ,

i would highly reccomend shakespeare!! i too live up those ways and theres heaps of room and bbq's.
also its a nice ride out there maybe we could all meet up along the way.....

Whos going to make a decision though about where it is at??

cheers.

[McJim]

Alas I won't be there - I was even going to suggest my place for the fireworks and BBQ :(

I'll er....be down in a place called Taupo for the weekend.....for some reason...

[placidfemme]

Its starting to pick up!

If there is anyone on a Full license or who knows someone who is trailing along in a cage, could you consider having Sam with you (Either as pillion or passanger in the cage)... she will be sad if she misses the fireworks... her birthday is on the 4th... so I'll make sure that she isn't too hungover... lol

I'm liking the idea of Shakespear Regional Park... but like Maverick said... its a bit far for the newbies to be riding back from in the dark... but still all good :)

[Maverick]

Given that it will be after the 250 ride it wont be at Shakespeare, as it is on the other side of Auckland.
At this point it could be at my place, but no BBQ, however people could pitch in for Pizza or Fish and chips etc, (save people lugging around meat etc)
Alcohol would be BYO, I dont encourage drink driving.
Families are welcome to join us later after the ride.

[R6_kid]

Might show up on the R2.5

[adiddy]

Are you serious?

i dont do date ssorry lol....
i think theres somethng else on that night - heloween party or sumthing so maybe missing this

Bloody hell i go to the mens refuge in the CBD, you must be scared of her if you take off to the Taupo Mens Refuge Centre.

Dr Phil says it's not worth it ....... Get out and break the cycle.

SA!? Stink!? I think the only stink thing would be you don't have your two wheels of freedom to ride it! Unless...you get one of the local bikes and have a wee pootle around there!

And wonder what the fireworks they have down there in their neck of the woods? :yes:

[Maverick]

And wonder what the fireworks they have down there in their neck of the woods? :yes:

I dont think they celebrate Guy Fawkes in South America? doesnt mean they dont have fireworks, but more that Lilsel wont likely see any on the 5th :P

[Maverick]

I'm thinking of going for a ride tomorrow if anyone wants to come,

[Maverick]

Sorry mav but i too am in Taupo that weekend

Damn that Refuge centre is going to be booked out! :dodge:

[Maverick]

Anyone else coming? I have a few biker mates who dont have access to KB who might be coming along too :)

I will be sending out the info to the people on the list,

Ain't that the truth - I gave her a loan of my bike and she dropped it! Who is breaking the 'cycle' here?

Had to buy her a motorbike so she would stop borrowing mine - sheesh.

Har Har! Good thing I was there to pick it up,

You must spread some bling etc etc.

[R6_kid]

Will be there if i get the bike back in time, otherwise i might just cage it anyway. If im on the bike then i'll do my best to keep the front (and the rear) wheel on the ground :dodge: :whocares:

:Punk:

[Gwinch]

Sorely tempted to come. Will sign up for now and see how things pan out more towards the date.

[R6_kid]

no bike till sometime next week :shutup: :bye:

Will be in the cage, Placid - If sam wants to ride with me in the "pride of scandanavia" then thats fine by me... just need to know what the probable route will be (Mav can you pm me some details dude :Punk: )

[Theatre]

Bugger, tough luck gareth. Classy name for the cage though.

Got the final exam on the tuesday, but riding beats the crap out of studying any day. I'm keen! Should really try and sort out a tacho cable before sunday...

[Maverick]

At this point the route will most likely be a circular cruise rather then a ride to a particular location, did you want to follow us or just meet at my place after?

Hey thanks for the offer...

Still not 100% sure what the plan is this weekend. Sam's brother is coming down for her birthday on Saturday.... if Sam gets her way i won't be well enough (hung over...) on Sunday to even consider riding anywhere...

I'll know closer to Sunday and will have to text Mav on Saturday night or Sunday morning to confirm... Chances are Sam won't come along if her brother stays long on Sunday... I'll confirm with Mav over the weekend :)

[R6_kid]

will just meet at yours afterwards - following in the car is a bit err... wierd.

[Maverick]

R6 do you want to swap numbers with Placid if you dont have it so that you and Sam can organise if she is coming etc?

[placidfemme]

I've just sent him my number...

R6 check your PM's :)

[Maverick]

Ok, I have a rough route planned, might need to go ride it on friday evening to see how long it takes to ride.

At the moment im guessing meet around 3pm. riding for a few hours ending at my place, will have more details coming via PM later this week.

Sure guys, I hope you are coming on sunday though?

[duckaddict]

Hey, what time is the ride (investigation) on Fri :)

[toymachine]

Bikes getting dropped off on friday night to have work done, get it back sometime sunday so I may be there depending.

[Maverick]

Actually I think I will go ride it tonight, I will be at BP botany at around 1700, departing soon after. Anyone who wants to come along is welcome. I wont be waiting long as I want to get as much in daylight as possible.

Mav that sucks!
I'm going to the motomail ladies night!

[Maverick]

Well we have a route sorted, not the route that I had planned, as the roads are not acessable despite what wizes maps says, but a good ride.
Will take about 3 to 3 1/2 hours, so meeting around 3pm, finish ride about 6 to 6.30, then heading back here to sort dinner etc.
I will be sending PM's with details to people on the ride list at the beginning of the thread.

Great ride today Maverick, was great being your wingman and boosting down roads unknown - doing the circuit of Maraetai, Clevedon, Hunuas and back to McJim's abode and onto your desmesne was most excellent.

Cheers to McJim for allowing me to give his v-twin a quick blat around, vurry nice and a bonus at the end of the day! Had a quick blat down to Mission Bay - watched some fireworks being let off before the constabulary shut the pyrotechnic party done!

Just got home after pootling around some more! What a great way to spend an evening after work! :woohoo:

[Maverick]

Ok Invites have been sent to those that have listed their attendance or have talked to me about coming.

Im looking forward to this ride, its a really good trip, some challenging roads too.

Mav :cool:

[toymachine]

Not sure if my bike will be ready intime, if so i'm there.

Dang, I ain't been on a learner ride in ages :(

[Gwinch]

Not going to be there on account of a very sick (probably dirty) powervalve servo. A pox on 19 year old bike parts! :(

edit: Upon further inspection it appears that the wires connecting the servo to the valve are naffed and require oiling. Grrrrr.

[ben]

can someone forward the PM mav sent out.

[toymachine]

done, gis a yell if you didn't get it..

thanks bro

Nice one Mav

10 points for organisation...come a long way since the first one, hehe.

The route was really awesome, cannot believe that we have such good roads out here in the east.

Was really good catching up with some of the KB's that hadn't been seen for a while and also putting some new faces to regular names.

Cheers for the ride guys, was a great ride, especially on a day where I didnt feel like going too hard. Was good fun playing with the fireworks, especially the few that went in unexpected directions!

Nice photos there warlock, especially 15. Surprised the world coped with having so much awesome present in only 2 bikes. Love to know what tristan was doing in #12. Hurry up and youtube that video gareth!

Cheers again for the hospitality and organising the ride mav, thats a nice pad you've got.

[gijoe1313]

Thanks Mav,

Making your pad the landing base for the bike squadron was appreciated! Cheers for the drinks and watching the fireworks bang off was good - riding home, hardly any cages about :woohoo:

Got to the motorway and there was smoke just wafting across from all the explosives being let off around!

Missed the ride today :weep: but will hopefully get to ride with you all again sometime soon!

:rockon:

[Gremlin]

Very handy little ride, and just what I needed, nothing long like a coro (which needs an early wake up) and still a bit of fun to be had.

Spent some time at the back being TEC with Warlock, and trying to offer the odd riding tips etc, then spent a bit of time hounding a slippery little 250 in the twisties :love:

Cheers Mav

And a welcome addition you were as well .. loving that bike .. hmmm ... i'm looking forward to getting something with some more "get up and fuck off"

[Mole_C]

Wow, looks like it was a zxr party, i shouldve added mine to it. Unfortunately mine has its brakes on the floor and its gonna get its forks ripped off 2mrw for a bit of tinkering. Also dirty old work got in the way :angry: Any of you zxrers wanna give me a hand to pull it apart? :innocent:

[R6_kid]

Cheers mav and everyone that turned up! Was an awesome afternoon and the fireworks were pretty cool in the end (as was the little random blat around the empty carpark).

Big ups to Rookie who has improved heaps since i last saw him out riding! Good stuff bro.

The 250 rides are coming along good, was fun to hang out with you guys as well as heading off for a blat with Tristan - that guy is too fast!

I'll try and get that video of Ardmore quarry up and posted, until i get a new computer i wont be able to do much with the other video except for watching it on the TV, i've watched some and its come out really good.

Cheers again to Maverick and the 250 crew, good to see some dedicated riders coming through!

[rookie]

Nice work with the camera Warlock, definately gonna be keeping a couple of the pics.

Man you suited being on the 250, seriously man i think you need to go back to your roots....come on admit it - you had a blast on that thing.

[McJim]

Part of me really regrets not making the 250 ride on 5th Nov but Faaaaark that Taupo full track rocks!

Did the commute to work this morning weary but felt more in control than usual - it's good to get a bit closer to the limits of your bike - allows you to fling it around a bit more.

Feel really guilty about R6 kid talking of new 250 dedicated riders and I didn't bother my arse turning up eh? Shame on me.

Next time fellas eh?

[Tickler]

Well i didnt go, but it looked and sounded like a hell of a lot of fun. Ill definately will have to be there for the next one


Interesting looking at the photos.
I rekkon that Evo 9 in the carpark would give most of you a good going over in the twisties. Just food for thought.
Also thats some great kiwi thinking for the video set up.! haha it'll probably be real shaky, but hey being there is everything
Anywho.

Probably catch u guys on the next one

I'm sorry??, did you just mention a car on a bike forum ??? dude ... bad form ... BAD FORM... you should have been paying more attention to the bikes man ... if i didn't know better i'd say you were a closet boy racer.

[Tickler]

nah nah nah, i aint trying to start that arguement up.

definately a few mean ZXR's there, im looking for one at the moment. I do like bikes, its definately a diff world to cars. WAAAAYYYY more fun.

There are a few boys on here selling off there zxr's .. have a hunt round .. if i remember correctly, one of the lads is selling two on trademe.. a black and a green ...

Er...um...yeah - like - it's got a 2 litre Turbocharged engine and lots of little computers telling the wheels when to stop and when to go and really fucken short service intervals and costs about 20 times the price of a 250cc used motorcycle so fuck yeah, it might just keep up with a 250cc imported bike with a Learner on it coz it only needs a moron behind the wheel to keep it on the road at insane speeds (the car does all the work not the driver) whereas the bike requires talent, precision and guts.

Hes a young lad and dosn't know the joy of dragging off a tricked out car at the lights on a 250 .. :Punk:

Haha, i'd be lying if i said otherwise mate. The 'lack' of power makes them so much easier to throw around yet they still have the balls to get you to licence losing speeds!

If i had cash i'd get another 250, but I sincerely love the feeling of the 600 on the track - The compromise is a 250 two stroke, which im seriously considering but i aint selling the 600 any time soon!

LOL and so you should not very often someone offers youi the use of a 2006 636 for the weekend ...........

but i kind of understood your reasons.

What you doing this weekend, i may need a partner for the supermotard racing at Mt Wellington this weekend. No one i know owns a full set of leathers and i know you do...........

[Maverick]

Cheers to everyone who came along, I'm glad people enjoyed the ride, attached is the route for those interested. Now I just have to start planning the next one, maybe even somewhere out west perhaps.

Glad we had no bins this time, and the weather geanie even managed to beat the Guy Fawkes curse!

Should do coastal to Kaiaua, only regroups between BP and Kaiaua and same on the way home (possible different route)... then you once the usuals have some stamina you should look at attacking the 'coro loop' with a 250 ride.

I rekkon that Evo 9 in the carpark would give most of you a good going over in the twisties.

HAHA, watch the video first mate :dodge: But honestly, its not the car its the driver...



Also thats some great kiwi thinking for the video set up.! haha it'll probably be real shaky.

Haha, nothing beats duct tape and foam packing!, wasnt shaky at all thanks to the camera having a super steady shot mode, but it does show some of the more serious bumps quite well, also the sound wasnt muffled by the wind this time which is an added bonus!

I would be keen to give the coro loop a go, havent been there on a motorbike but i can tell it would be nothing short of mint...brakes and tyres pending.
