8th January 2007, 20:56

As the Xmas one never quite got off the ground...as per this thread...

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=37812

So we invite y'all to our place at Paraparaumu Beach for a BBQ on the 27th of Jan. Kickoff around 4pm I guess or whenever people turn up.
Trying to keep it simple (I'm a simple type...)
We'll put on the salads and breads and sausages and stuff.
If you want something fancy in the meat dept better bring it along - I hear there might be a haggis coming.....(but I'm not going anywhere near it!)
Byo booze of course
We have flat off street parking for bikes
Beach shops 2min walk down road for beer/cigs/supplies etc
I think our spare room might have already been spoken for, but there is 2motels within a 100 metres and a bit of lawn to pitch a tent!
Someone might want to organise a ride for the afternoon?
Think thats everything, PM me for any other details

Pram Beach aint too far from quite a bit of accomodation. I'll bring the HiluX and I don't mind dropping some peeps off as far as Paekak backpackers or the Paekak camp if need be. Better than trying to ride pissed eh? I'm sure your bikes would be safe at Sels place.

I'll see if I can make it... (This is the third evening event for the 27th.)

Haggis sounds worth trying.

I think I'll probably show up too. If you'll have me. I've been on KB for a while now, and still haven't had a chance to "socialise". Unfortunately I'm stuck with the off-road van-cage at the moment, so if someone from Welly wants to take a dirtbike up or something or other... Just PM.

A bit of ground up, seasoned offal never hurt anyone.

Dave and I won't be at the BBQ I'm afraid - too much housey stuff to do. No rest for the wicked it would seem.

Soooo much fun being a grown up....... **sigh**

We will have a sober driver available all night for taxi-ing around

Okay, I was going to bail but now there's no reason not to come.

The riffer clan (all 6 of us - me, Gini and four kids) will be arriving around 4.00pm.

Lock up your motorcycles fellers - the youngest of the clan is just a touch obsessed. Oh yeah and the oldest one too... :yes:

Great evening Sels. Caught up with a few people and found out what theyre up to. Missed out on the prize for furtherest travelled (MSTRS and Yungertart). Maybe furtherest by Motorbike.

Paul NZ your Triumph is something to behold and any negative comments by myself were purely out of jealously.

Hi, good BBQ which me and Mrs merv got to. Thanks to Sels1 and Claire for putting this on.

I got a few photos but none of haggis.

Grub was taking a whole lot of photos so perhaps he could post his. Nice to meet a few new faces

My few pics follow.

27th January 2007, 21:54

Selwyn and Claire, many thanks for a wonderful afternoon I really enjoyed myself and catching up with our KB'ers. The bbq was terrific and the haggis hmmmm back for seconds, was terrific too.

Meanwhile Golf November Two Five Zero obviously enjoyed all the attention parked up there in the driveway.

Doug and I stopped at top of the Paekakariki Hill right on sunset, and waited for a while to see Comet McNaught. Time marched on and so we left with naught to see.

Thanks again for a great afternoon.

27th January 2007, 22:11

OK after all the bitching about the weather down here from us, Yungatart arrives from the Hawkes Bay and its a nice sunny afternoon - she must have brought it with her.

So we got a pretty good turn out, and some were willing to pose for photos, some were not. I didn't take any pics after dark, but here are the late afternoon pics.

Who's that good looking guy in the last pic talking to the chick that always has her back to the camera?

Ah shit Pete - wadda bastard of a thing... You should have cruised through the mean streets of Raumati with us mate on the C bike (at C bike speeds of course).... No drama no pain...

Sels1 and the Loverly Claire.... THANKS for the hospitality and sorry for the early departure but.... Well - a soft summer evening, no kids, a willing bike and a loverly lady.... (hang on - did I get that the right way round?)

Anyway.....

Great night folks.... Jesus H Christ on a crutch - what a bloody wonderful country we live in and aint it full of the nicest people..... Luck to you all...

Paul n Vicki

You're right there Paul!

Mind you...bit of a shaky 'bust' really....I went past a patrol car just before McKays crossing....didn't think too much of it seeing as there was a concrete barrier between us. I got to the 'Hill' turnoff, and for some strange reason didn't feel 'good' about going over it.....should've...as at the camera on the highway of death they pulled me over while the patrol car came back and identified me......I'll fight that one though....as they didn't have a rego number etc.....should've gone over the hill eh!

Feck! Thought that might have been it... Bloody 70kph / 80kph zones?? It does not take much to go over because the %^$# have extended them out so far! It is just ... well... Stupid! After 6:30 there are 30 kph zones with trucks breathing down your neck.. argh! Bastard of a place. 2 work mates have been pinged recently for 112 and 113... Luckily in the 100kph area. In the 70kph area.... well....

Thanks for the comments about the C - its a bloody tart's handbag of a bike no mistake and I have to say! Well - we bloody LOVE it... More fun that a trouser full of greased weasels at a vegan lesbians picnic on extroverts night..

For a night out like that - better than all the R1's and other assorted letters of the alphabet together.. Magic night.

Well done Merv, have just got home, haven't unloaded the camera yet but I do have a lot so will post them up in the morning. I'll use a link to our site so I can drop the lot in there

Thanks Selwyn & Claire and everyone else who was there to make it so pleasant ... that was one fine afternoon. We'll ahve to have another one soon so I can really get to know the other half of you... (watch this space)

Crasherfromwayback

27th January 2007, 23:01

So what is the cop saying - that you were speeding at the speed restriction for the road works - was it posted at 70 or 50, that I can't remember? Luckily we drove through there in quite a stream of traffic later on. Saw no cops at all but maybe at our age we are more blind than you younger guys.

he is saying that he went past a guy with a multi coloured helmet going the other way at 153kph.....and the one waiting for me up the road asked how many other bikes were on the road that I saw.....I said 'plenty'......then the one that claimed to have seen/clocked me came back and said....yeah that's him. I said 'whatever'......they then said I could ride the bike home....and asked how long it'd take.....they didn't see the funny side when I said...."well, at the speed you accused me of doing, about 15 mins"

Add my thanks to list too Selwyn and Claire. You were outstanding hosts. What a lovely comfy bed in the gargre. The haggis was great and now I have something else to add to my list of things that shouldn't really be eaten, but get eaten anyway. Great to meet a few more of the KB crew. You might even get me on a horse one day Chancey.
Fight the power Pete. That's one of the dodgiest tickets I've heard of. They seem to be getting into the habit of making visual i.d.s then randomly picking someone to pin the alledged offense on. Ask Jimbo.

Yes a great night and thanks to hosts Selwyn & Claire , was good to meet all an put faces to handles.
Bad luck Pete fight it could have been anybody they saw, like Clivoris said probably same cop re Jimbo and same area too ,saw 4 between pram and paramata on way back into welly after 11pm they were busy out there .

Wish we could've made it. Funny, I thought I had met a good majority of Welly KBers, but looking at those photos I only recognised a handful of peeps!

Pity you couldnt make it, you would have met some more! There was around 50 over the evening, counting partners and kids, and yet there was only 3 KBers I hadnt met before (nice to met you guys!)
Thanks to those who made an effort to come from out of the area

Didnt get to bed to rather late, took a few power coffees to get going this morning, sitting on the deck with those who stayed over. Cleanup didnt take long, thanks you tidy kiwis who didnt make mess.

Sorry for the delay team, but I decided the whole website needed a clean up before I posted our pics, but they're there now ...

I have to apologise that there's no file names or annotations on mouse-over that there's supposed to be but it looks like FrontPage is spazzing me. I'm really disappointed in the result as I had tried to correctly name all the guilty parties. You can see the full path in the bottom of your IE window. Sorry, being made with Frontpage probably means that Firefox users just get trash.

If any of the participants would like a larger resolution file, just PM me or Nasty. Anyone else want one, you'll only get it from the guilty party :)

And thanks to the guys on the BBQ! What a huge effort all that cooking.
Had a fantastic time, met plenty of folks I hadnt met in person before. Great to see some from out of the area too.

Pete..... mate what a way to end an evening! Sounds like a rather dodgy call. When I went through there at about 10.30pm the rozzas were no where to be seen but I didnt take any risks anyway.

Great pic's too guys.

Yup, a great night had by clan riffer.

All the kids were pretty well behaved - even Nicholas, who's usually a menace around bikes, was unusually restrained. He was the little blond feller running around yelling "bike!" and playing with all your throttles...

Thanks heaps for your hospitality Sels and Clare. And good to meet those of you I haven't yet - and yes merv we will get out on a ride together one day...

Apologies to "MrsMerv" and "Hans GF", I know your real names but not your KB nickname. I didn't think it appropriate for real names so I made those ones up. You can bless me with ginger beers at the next bbq.

Yes it well could be, but I want to leave that as Scott and Carissa's call.

They may be well knackered and all peopled out and just need a good crash and sleep, so I have mentioned it to Scott and am saying no more as I don't think it's right to pressure them.

Also, I kinda messed up just a little ... that's also the weekend I'm competing in the NZ Masters Games at Wanganui (defendin a Sliver Medal from last time). Just as well I'm a biker ... a quick 2hr flit to welly is no problem to play host. Nasty might get a bit ... well ... nasty if I plant a bbq for her to orgnaise all by herself ... LOL

But that won't be a problem as merv lives down the road .. and it would not be the first nor the last thing I do without the grub being around ... so will "chat" to Scott and Clarisa closer to the day and see if they are up to it .. mind you it is bbq or bbq cos that is the only way to cook for the extras that will be here anyway :yes:

No shame there bro. My Mum plays a bit of bowls and what really cracks me up is the larf they have with each other at the clubs. Taking the piss and flirting shamelessly. I went to check it out once and one old bird tried to get me to put on a strip show:shutup: . She might have been blind and dementing, but I'm at a stage in life where I'll take that as a compliment:yes: . I'm definitely giving it a go when I have more time on my hands.
