Because DHUNT and brother is here for the weekend it would be rude not to go for a ride so my place (or ashhurst mobil if you dont know where I live) on saturday at 930am and we are off.weather will determine the route but as always it will be exciting with lots of lies being told. Dont miss out.

I think I might just come for the meet up bit. My bike decided it didn't like me, so it threw me off yesterday.

Bike was in perfect condition, just been serviced. I was been sensible too for a change, then wham-o. Nothing I could have done differently.

Hi guys, I'm keen. I'll probably head back to Palmy from Mangaweka, if that's where we end up that is.....:yes:Can come out up a bit further than that closer to Taihape. Nice sealed country roads. I'll probably go as far as Taihape and turn east.

i will not be coming. I have buggered a tendon in my foot and it is painful to change gear. Bugger but might have to wait till next weekend or after. Rear brakes are not happy again either after AFC fucked it up so will have to sort that out next week too.

Would love to go for a ride, been living in Palmerston for 5 months and the only “real ride” I’ve done was the last cold kiwi (other than the odd 5 min run to work and back) .
But…. broken fork seal, running on 3 or 4 cylinders and no WOF means I will have to pass, weather looks good toooooo
Need some cash and also need to find a good mechanic

Have fun :bye:

I come over to say Hi but not riding. Did I see you on Tremaine out of town on south side on Thurs afternoon? I was in a Nissian ute. It looked like you putting earplugs in or arranging something but by the time it registered I was already gone.

Nasty 'n' I plus friend on R100 did Saddle Rd yesterday. It's prolly old hat to you guys but I got a taste for it on Coast-to-Coast and had to take the others up there.

Damn silly place for people to build things though, its too bloody windy.

cowboyz
6th January 2007, 07:51
yep. saddle is right on my doorstep. great road but have to be caucious on it. Not fun walking back down it.

11 bikes turned up at Ashurst, so good turn out well done. One off unfortunately, I hope he's ok. Wont go into details but needless to say it reminded me that we should be riding a our own pace an not try and push it too hard on the road.

Stopped at Kimbolton for a natter, then on to Manaweka for fuel, Hitting Waiuru for lunch. Onwards towards Ohakune turning onto Feilds track, Wanganui then back home.

Great bunch of folk. Thanks for the company today people. Looking fwd to the next ride together.

6th January 2007, 19:36
damn good ride. Pleased I went in the end. Good turn out in Ashhurst. There was 11 bikes of all shapes and sizes show up.

Headed up pongonia valley for a quite ride. Kept things pretty tame. The gsxr6's (2 exactly the same) went out to scout the road. Through to Apiti then Kimbolton for a coffee. Good chat in Kimbolton and a couple turned for home. the rest of us headed up the mangawekas till Dunts brother showed us how to ride cross country style over a bank. 2006 and no bins on the ashhurst rides and we made it 6 days into 2007. He was realitivity ok but required some thought and help of a 4wd to recover bike from bottom of bank. Into Managweka for a rest and half the crew headed back with the bruised and sore rider. That left Bonez (cant get rid of the guy) 86gsxr + CJ (pillion) Meanie, Glenn, Glenns mate (forgot your name) and Myself to head out valley road and back to taihape. Up to Waioru for more coffee and chatting. Then up to Feilds track. The highlight of the trip really. The first half was rough. Really rough. glenn managed to do his impresionation of a beekeeper on the move but if your gonna make honey you need more than one. Dropped off his buzzy pillion and stopped mid fields track in a secluded area which was nice. More talking (you would think we were woman the ammount of chatting we get up to) and then the rest of fields track. Fantastic run down onto the paraparas and into Wanganui. Dropped Glenn and his mate round at Glenns place and being as there was painting to do and the 5 of us are allergic to manual labour 86gsxr, CJ, Meanie, Bonez and myself were off again. CJ traded the pillion seat of the GSXR for the comfort of the meanstreak and we were back through Marton and over Halcome Hill to Feilding. Pace picked up a bit so that was fun. Said goodbyes in Feilding and home. Just under 400km. Fantanstic days riding. Pity about the bin. No one likes to see a rider go down but lets hope he learnt something and he is ok. Bring on the next one.

Couple more pics. Didn't do the Napier/Taihape rd as the CX was used as a pack horse for other folks gear.

some real nice photos there bonez. Where is the one of 86gsxr,CJ and meanie on the run taken?On one of the Pahongina valley straights. Quite surprised they came out as good as they did myself.

Was impressed how well that GSX250 went. Certainly proved itself quite capable. Certainly don't deserve the shit folk give them here. That lady we met at Waiuru on the yellow GS500, with Givi fairing, was a bit of a hardcase too. Nice meeting you whoever you where.

Oh and thanks to Mr Wippy for not being able to get your truck started.

Be nice to put some rest to these nasty rumours and put a face to a name :yes:

as i am bikeless at present I could drive to destination point... but that could definately be a plan ..


hmm reminds me wonder if the bbq is still a goer on 27th in kapiti .. checks out that thread too

Well as my uncle has been telling Benji he's had his first vaccination (accident) so should be right for a while. Just a pity he didn't have another week off work to sort the bike out before he headed back down south. In the mean time he's got a copy of Twist of the Wrist to keep him company.

Also another interesting detail is the guy with the four wheel drive that helped out and let us park the bike at his place bought the house of my Aunty's Brother. So it's a pretty small world.

And finally we came home with a surplus broken rear brake leaver from somebody else's mishap on that corner.

Great to hear you're alright Benji! That was quite a drop! If it's any consolation that was the 3rd time I've had to help haul a bike up a bank so you're not the only one. And it was a bitch of a corner for sure! And remember the old cliche, there are those that have and there are those who will. Oddly enough, there were two ladies in the house that the guy with the 4WD was that I hadn't seen for years. It is indeed a small world. See you back on the road soon!
