I never met Daryl but will be there..... I did have the pleasure to have met Bruce.One thing we three did have in common was the TL1000S.

[Meekey_Mouse]

Sorry, does any one know where abouts on Grey St the Tavern Carpark is? I have a map off Smaps but don't know where the carpark is. If you know any of the surrounding roads/streets that could help me pin point where it is, it'd be muchly appreciated!!!

Jas

[bugjuice]

you're not the only one, don't worry ;)

[adiddy]

mmmm please someone post a map aye

[Titanium]

It is at the Southern end of Grey St, before you turn left on to the main drag to go out of town. It down by the Naylor and Brookfield St end, Cobham Drive end. You can only turn left out of and left into Grey St from Cobham Drive.

Hope this helps.

[Mental Trousers]

ok here's a map. You should be able find this pic easy enough on smaps. The pin is the Eastside

[Indiana_Jones]

I'm gonna try and be there. on the FXR or not - depends on the speed of the ride (I don't wanna slow it down), might see if I can bum a ride with kittie.

Edit: on second thoughts I should go down with Kittie, give her some company. Havn't seen her in a while :) Hopefully I can reach her tomorrow and get some time off work.

-Indy

[MyGSXF]

My spirit & thoughts will be there.... deepest sympathy to family & friends... very sad news!

I've never meet Darryl, but would like to come to show my respect and offer any support possible.

I'm just waiting on my boss to come in to confirm if I can get tomorrow off... shouldn't be a problem I don't think as its my birthday so he will most likely say yes...

CaN Sam is also checking with her work if she can get the day off to come along too, if so can she take your pillion seat?

I'll confirm these details asap. Also... if any of the Shore riders would like to meet on the Shore somewhere as I don't know how to get to the autobhan thingy...

I'll be leaving the shore to get to Autobahn by 8am, where on the shore are you (or where would you like to meet)?

[placidfemme]

I'll be leaving the shore to get to Autobahn by 8am, where on the shore are you (or where would you like to meet)?

Thank you. I just got confirmation from my boss. I'm good to go....

I live in Birkenhead, right next to Highbury Mall... I'm happy to meet up either near Takapuna somewhere... or near Highbury somewhere... or if you like in the city somewhere... Let me know whats best for you...

[Indiana_Jones]

If i'm riding, as it looks like it, I'll meet up with you guys on the shore.

-Indy

[WickedOne]

I could meet you at the BP on Onewa Road. Do ya think an hour would be enough to get to Papakura (considering the traffic)??

[Momentum]

Guys if your really stuck let me a know a time and i can meet you all at the north end of town when you get to hamilton

[The Stranger]

CaN Sam is also checking with her work if she can get the day off to come along too, if so can she take your pillion seat?


Would be honoured to mate.
Just let me know. Do you have my mobile?

[WickedOne]

5 of us are leaving from the Autobahn Papakura at 8:00am on Wednesday. All welcome.

Hey CaN, a few of us are leaving the shore to join you at Autobahn. If possible could you please stick around till we get there as I have no idea where to go in Hamilton. We'll try our best to be there by 8am, shouldn't take longer than an hour from Onewa Road should it?

[Indiana_Jones]

I could meet you at the BP on Onewa Road. Do ya think an hour would be enough to get to Papakura (considering the traffic)??

I was thinking of leaving like 6:15-6:30 from the BP. better to be earlier then later?

edit: i'm down as a probbale, still waiting from kittie

-Indy

[placidfemme]

Would be honoured to mate.
Just let me know. Do you have my mobile?

Thanks... Sam is still waiting for her boss to approve her day off tomorrow. She said she'll let me know within the next hour or so...

I don't have your mobile number anymore... it was on my old phone... I'll PM you my new contact number...

Also... Where abouts in Auckland do you live? Because if your meeting the rest of us at the Autobhan thingy then Sam will have no way of getting from the Shore to there... Unless one of the Shore guys can pillion her to the meeting point?


I could meet you at the BP on Onewa Road. Do ya think an hour would be enough to get to Papakura (considering the traffic)??

Sure, the BP is the one near the motorway on/off ramp?

I'm not sure if an hour is enough... the traffic will be slow heading up there and as I mentioned I'm not exactly sure where the meeting place is anyway...

[Indiana_Jones]

yea, that's the one.

Sweet as, I can take Sam if need be as well. I am used to having a pillion and I do ride safely. Okay, maybe we should meet at BP at 6:15-6:30 as per Indy's suggestion. If you do need me to give Sam a lift just PM me and maybe I could meet you at your place before meeting Indy at the BP?

[Indiana_Jones]

ok, sounds like we have a plan going then. meet at the BP for 6:15?

Shouldn't need much more then that I hope.

-Indy

[WickedOne]

Choice thanks. I've spoken with Sam and she reckons her boss will say yes but hasn't yet... so we'll organise it anyway and if her boss ends up saying no she'll just pull a sicky.

I'll send you a PM with my addy so you can meet us at our place to pick up Sam...

That's cool. I would have thought you should be fine with an hour. Perhaps PM Busa Pete. They are coming from Silverdale, so must pass by you guys.

[WickedOne]

We are going to leave the BP on Onewa road at about 6:30 and I am sure we'll have plenty of time. No worries, rather have spare time than rushing. Anyone is welcome to join us just let us know if you are joining us.

There is a McDonalds and a cafe at the Autobahn. If you are there early, just grab a bite or coffee and a little R&R maybe.

Yeah, I am sure a coffee won't go unwanted at that time. See you guys there

[bugjuice]

anyone coming from over the bridge, I'm planning to meet Speedie at Barry's point road just before 7, which (taking into account rush hour traffic) should be long enough to get us to Paps by 8

[WickedOne]

Hi bugjuice. We are leaving the Bp on Onewa road at 6:15-6:30. You guys are welcome to join us (unless that is too early for you)

[bugjuice]

nah, well.. may be a little ;)
you'd be at paps way early, wouldn't you..?? Takes 40 minutes on an average day, once you get thru town, it should ease up.. or have I not ridden in rush hour traffic for too long now?
I'd prefer some company tho

Yeah, I have no idea how long it will take. Plan is to just have a coffee and bite to eat if we get to Papakura Autobahn before CaN. See how you go but it would be good to have you guys along with us.

[TLDV8]

The traffic south from town should be ok once you get past the central city.
I will be at the Autobahn around 8:00am but could wait around,its only a 100kms from there to Hamilton.
A few years since i lived in Hamilton (and someone can correct me)... An easy route would be straight down the main street,turn left and go over the bridge,up to the next main set of lights,turn right (which should be the main street in Hamilton East)....that road should be Grey St going through to Cobham Drive ? as per MT's map.

[Rhino]

ScorpyGirl is confirmed to attend (twisted the bosses arm.) If we don't catch you at Papakura, we will see ya in Hamilton.

[badlieutenant]

I really wanted to go to darryls sendoff.
I met him at both of the rallies that quasi organised. A very kewl guy and on both rides I always seemed to end up riding with him within the group as we chased quasi or at the last rally whitetrash.
Just for the record the the feijoa vodka pool incident at the tookaanu rally was entirely his fault I only supplied the vodka.
Please pass on my condolences to his family and friends.
R.I.P Darryl

[Indiana_Jones]

What you wanna do wickedone?

-Indy

[WickedOne]

You cats going to BP at Onewa, 0615-30 is way too early, keep your sleep. 0700 is plenty of time trust me, I ride the southern each day for work (southbound) and the traffic will only be dodgy up to Gillies ave at the worst, then it is 30 minutes to Auotbahn from there.

So anyway me and Buggie are leaving Barrys point rd at 0700hrs for any peeps who dont want to go at 0615.

Okay guys, I am going to take Speedie's advice. Let's meet at the BP at 6:30 to 6:45 and meet Speedie and co at Barry's Point Road. Where on Barry's point you meeting Speedie?

[placidfemme]

What you wanna do wickedone?

-Indy

I'm meeting up with WickedOne at Onewa Rd (well my place first) at about 6.15am

Could maybe push that to 6.30am and then meet Speedie & Bugjuice on Barry Pt Rd at 7am... just as a suggestion...

I'm doing whatever WickedOne is doing as he's gonna have my g/f on the back of his bike

Edit: ahhhh WickedOne beat me to it...

6.45am Onewa Rd... sweet :) So I'll be expecting you at my place at... what... 6.30am?

Next to Cycle spot

Cheers Mate, see you there just before 7. I have 6 black armbands for those who don't have.

Edit: make that 8 armbands

[WickedOne]

Excellent, I've been battling with a sewing machine all morning and now its in the bin. 1 for me please.

No worries, I just cut a T-Shirt (New one - DOH!!!) into strips to tie around our arms.

[placidfemme]

No worries, I just cut a T-Shirt (New one - DOH!!!) into strips to tie around our arms.

I'll be doing the same to a black shirt of mine... any suggestions as to what sizes to cut them into... I'll only need 2 (Sam & myself) so that least 3/4 of the shirt for others...

[WickedOne]

Don't worry about destroying your shirt as well, just grab a couple from me....

[Indiana_Jones]

I have an old sock I might try and turn into an arm band.

-Indy

[crashe]

Cheers Mate, see you there just before 7. I have 6 black armbands for those who don't have.

Edit: make that 8 armbands

Can I please borrow one as well.........

Not only for Darryl's but also for Bruce's funeral.

Will get it back to you next week.

[bugjuice]

Cheers Mate, see you there just before 7. I have 6 black armbands for those who don't have.

Edit: make that 8 armbands
if poss, me too please. I've been phoning/running round, trying to find some to have Bruce's and Darryl's name sewn in to them, but it's logistically tough and I don't think I'll have them done

[WickedOne]

if poss, me too please. I've been phoning/running round, trying to find some to have Bruce's and Darryl's name sewn in to them, but it's logistically tough and I don't think I'll have them done

No worries!!! They are just strips about 6-7cm wide that you can just tie around your arm. I am sure they'll be fine.

[Patch]

Hi all,

Black electrical tape does the trick as well.

[Indiana_Jones]

I'm sure if you make an effort to get a black arm band, they won't really mind

Spot on.

For those that need food there's a McDonalds right next to the Eastside where we're meeting. There's also multiple cafes & bakeries within 100m. You definitely will have time to grab some food before the escort ride as we're not 100% certain of the exact timing yet and allowed a safety margin in the meeting time. It's not huge but is enough if you're there on time.

[cowpoos]

does anyone think its gunna be a problem me riding me race bike.....errrrrr???

[Toast]

Still no word from Kittie yet.

-Indy

[Meekey_Mouse]

I'll have atleast one (possibly 2 or 3) spare arm band/s with me tomorrow for any one who wants one. If I get time tonight I will stitch Dss3, Loosebruce and UncleB onto them. Travel safely tomorrow every one :)

[sAsLEX]

anyone coming from over the bridge, I'm planning to meet Speedie at Barry's point road just before 7, which (taking into account rush hour traffic) should be long enough to get us to Paps by 8

They both did

[Mental Trousers]

FYI for DSS3's funeral tomorrow


DSS3 funeral ride

A group of close friends on motorbikes will lead the herse, followed by the immediate family and then the majority of the bikes.

It has been requested that we all park in formation at the entrance to the Chapel at the Crematorium. They would like to see a V formation if possible.

It has also been requested that at the end of the service we all start our bikes up and make them roar for a few seconds. Watch for Quasievil or Mental-Trousers to signal this.

FYI for DSS3's funeral tomorrow
Any idea what time it will all be over? I would like to stay for the whole thing but Have to be back in Tauranga by about 12:45pm.

[Scorpygirl]

I have managed to get time off to go to Daryl's funeral, so I will be on the back of the Wing with Rhino. We have a roll of black tape which we will put in the topb box, if anyone wants to use it.

Mate, sorry to be the bearer of very bad news. I doubt you could make it back in that time. The funeral starts at 11.30 am. Most funerals last at least 45 mins - 1 hour and some longer.

[oldguy]

Will be able to make it, so see you all in the morning

[boomer]

My thoughts are with you all tomorrow, unfortunately i won't be attending.

Farewell fellow rider.

[Rhino]

Would like a spare if anyone has one, else pick up some tape at the servo
We will be bringing a full roll of black electrical tape. If anyone needs to make armbands, come and see us at Hamilton.

[Gwinch]

Gah, I really amazingly want to go but my bike battery is a bit bung. Thing doesn't hold charge! sigh.

[ZeroIndex]

FYI for DSS3's funeral tomorrow

[Quasievil]

A few notes

Meet at 10am at the designated spot, you will have time to freshen up, with something to eat or drinks etc.
We will be expecting you to attend a quick briefing on what is going to happen once I arrive at around 10am, the family have given me their instructions and wishes.
There WILL be no wheelies, burnouts, or illegal riding behaviour so dont even consider it please.
there is an after function where we are all invited to attend , more details tomorrow
And lastly all you that are coming are making a Mum really really happy, this is her wish to have as many bikers as possible, so from her thank you so much for any efforts to make the day better....nice one guys !!

I will have 30 metres of black ribbon to tie around anyones arm should you need it.

See you all tomorrow

thanks

[sexy beast]

I really wanted to come today, however only one road going bike at the moment so Stify will be there for us both. I will be there in thought.

RIP Daryl.
:bye:

[GSVR]

RIP #104 R1 . Can't make it up but my thoughts are with you today.

I made my team observe a minutes silence for Daryl at 11:30am and I toasted to Daryls life at lunch today.....

[slowpoke]

It's quite a surreal experience sitting out here offshore. The sheer physical distance acts as an insulator, the daily routine can be mind numbing with the days blurring into each other, and your world shrinks down to an area the size of a 1/2 acre section.
Today has been quite different, with my thoughts well and truly with Darryl and his loved ones.
My full respect goes to all those with the courage to front up to the funeral, it's not an easy thing to do.

[Lias]

It was a huge funeral.. Biggest funeral I've ever been too bar the maori queens. The chapel was packed, the atrium was packed, and their were still dozens of us outside listening to the speakers.

I think the share number of people that came is a tribute to Daryl.

[Toast]

I think the share number of people that came is a tribute to Daryl.

I second that. Awesome turnout! So glad I shimmied out of work for it.

Big ups to Quasi for getting us all organised. It must have been quite a sound having 100 or so bikes near redline all in that chapel carpark.

[Indiana_Jones]

It was quite a sight having us all ride up the road with the herse.

Great turn out :)

-Indy

[WickedOne]

Awesome turnout to farewell one of our own. Good on ya guys!!!!

[bugjuice]

Just got back.

Was a very nice ceremony. The bikes leading and following the hearse passing thru Hamilton was nice. They were all meant to line up so the hearse could drive up the centre as we revved, but in the faffle of parking, the hearse passed thru. So we did it anyway. 30 seconds of a hundred+ bikes at the redline in honour. Was a very loud moment, and I'm sure he heard it.

I'm fortunate enough for this to only be my second funeral (the first being my nan years ago). So as far as they go, it was a nice sending off. Huge turn out from every corner of his life and from people who he'd touched. He'll be remember for ever.

Thanks to Daryl's family for allowing us to join in celebrating him. And thanks to Quasi for organising chaos!

[Scorpygirl]

Awesome everyone. What a real tribute to Daryl. The sound of all the bikes revving was just amazing!!!! He would have been smiling. It really is a small world though as Rhino and I know the sister of his cousin that spoke. I am glad I was able to go and pay my respects.

Thanks all.

[gijoe1313]

Just got back from Hamilton, the organisation and provision of info was courtesy of Quasi (thanks) and the forethought of having additional black ribbon is commendable.

The turnout of bikes and their riders/pillions was humbling to me, a community able to make the time and effort to support their fallen moved me deeply. The tributes and stories shared in the service kept making connections with points in my life and others present.

The redline send-off was another unique moment for me, I honestly hope we don't have to use it for that purpose for a long, long while - if ever... the refreshment provided was awesome and just looking and listening to the people around gave me another insight to the spirit and camaraderie, KBers have for one another - sure we give each other stick, sometimes grief, but when the chips count - there are people always there.

This morning, before I left Auckland, it was dark and cloudy - but surprisingly I saw a beautiful rainbow shine through it, I couldn't help but think how fitting a metaphor that was for the service today. Of course, the lads conspired to ensure that today was a perfect riding day.

So, in honour - a few of the lads went out and found the twisties in the Hunuas on the way back. We took our time, not in any rush and pootled around the brilliant countryside - our pegs down, I hope the recently departed took the chance to touch down on our rides and guide us through a little more smoothly and crack a grin as we wound our way through Twilight Rd (how appropriate is that?)

It has been a honour and pleasure to grace the company of giants, to mark the passing of those who share our spirit to ride in freedom and remember them for the good times they had...

[Waylander]

Sorry I couldn't stay for the whole ceramony. Some things I couldn't get out of but hope my showing up for the convo and redline tribute was enough.

Had my own mini send off for Daryl, Bruce and Bruce on the Kaimias and I hope they enjoyed it.

[stify]

It was an honor to be part of todays convoy, thanks to the family for allowing us to be there.

[crashe]

It was a honour to be part of the convoy today.
A huge thank you to Daryl's family for letting us be part of it.

The roar of the bikes after we arrived was awesome and Daryl would have loved it.

Great stories were told of Daryl growing up and the stuff he got up to and as a young fella.

Cheers Quasi for being the person to organise it throu Daryl's family.

[saul]

It was an honor to be part of todays convoy, thanks to the family for allowing us to be there.

+1 so very true. Thanks also to quasi.

[DingDong]

as above, great send off and huge convoy for dss3... 100+ bikes bouncing off the limiter sounded wiked, bet even Bruce heard that:Punk:

Well organised Quasi, cheers

[ZeroIndex]

being at my third funeral this year (2 were very close friends), it is amazing to see how 1 individual can touch so many lives.. I was very moved to see how many people came from all over to see Daryl off today..

Even though I didn't really know Daryl, I'm sure he would've appreciated this huge jesture of friendship, commitment, and admiration..

Stay safe everyone,
Rob

[Theatre]

Id also like to thank the family for allowing us to convoy today, it was a fitting farewell. The roar of the bikes was really something. Props to Quasi for managing to organise us all!

The ride back through the Hunuas was a great reminder of why I love riding so much. A few bikes, some nice twisties and a fantastic community.

[Donor]

I was in Hamilton today for work.

Was waiting at the end of London St, to turn onto Victoria, when I spied a gaggle of bikers heading south... as they passed, I saw a couple or three KB patches.

I caught up with them at the next lights, and pulled up along. Drooled over a few bikes and thought about saying something. However, the entire pack were all fixed on the red light, no jocularity, no banter being swapped, just a team of friends waiting in a sullen mood to arrive for a farewell.

If any of you saw me in my van with "Recall" on the side perving at your bike, sorry if you felt it move, that was just me throwing condolences on your pillion spot to drop off to the family for me...

Cheers.

[M1CRO]

Was great to see old faces and some new ones today contributing to the loving memory of Daryl. I think the number of bikes was around 83.

[TLDV8]

Thanks again for picking my wallet up after i left my pocket unzipped after the stop at Meremere :niceone: ........Also great to meet Glen (Saul) in person after many posts on the TL sites :niceone:


I guess the grieving is far from over for those near and dear to Daryl so wish them strength...I think for many a time for reflection.
Was a privilege to have been able to attend... Cheer's to all.

[BigB]

Great day and was glad to be part off it, what a send off. Thanks to family and friends for allowing us to attend.
