Sure thing. Infact I think there were more 250's than not last outing :)

[Big Chim]

I rode a little ol 250, see ya out there. (if i remember to turn up)

[CaMo]

sweet, clutch is in and functioning :)

Will keep my eye on this thread. Looks like the weather is clearing on wednesday too.

Oh and how long are these rides. My little 2-smoker drinks gas like like an alcoholic having a bad day!

[heymista]

so is anyone out 2nite?

[Warr]

Sounds like a plan so long as the road stays dry. Not too long either!!

[CaMo]

presume its still on? Weather is a bit dicey every now and then but should be fine.

Man that sux at least it didn't shit itself out in Raglan! The towing would have bin a bit dicey!!! Hope your get back riding :soon:

[TerminalAddict]

we hit 60 kph :)

Warr's VFR could slow down my starlet .. eek :D

[Warr]

Well the wiring melt-down was just a localised event. No damage to the loom thankfully.
So trip to SuperCheap for a new connector, some head-shrink and solder and its all up and running again :)

Two wiring faults in a month that potentially/ and did leave me stranded. My bike is wearing our. Might start carring a light tester with me :msn-wink: for the adventures north over the holidays. Could save some grief :sweatdrop

mind you, you may want to take it easy on one of those for a while until you got use to the power - after riding your reeeally old smaller 750.
It may be a bit heavy for an old fella too.

Already been out - haven't you?
as for a big gathering - How a bout a ride to Te Kawa and a big deck building gathering, I'll have all the timber at my place Friday night.

[Warr]

If its fine I am heading up to Pokeno to pickup some Boots. Anyone keen to assist with the route is welcome along. Prefer none of it to be on main highways but time will be a consideration so....
Will be looking at heading away pronto at 5.30. So best post your interest here. Cause if no interest, I'll be leaving earlier.

[Waylander]

I'll be in Hams this weekend, in the cage, but managed to book a test ride from Road and Sport at 10am if anyone wants to come and show me a good road near town.

you dont get the option w Road-n-Sport... they "escort" you on another bike generally

[Dargor]

"escort" ah, sounds like a fun job.

Was a good ride tonight. I didnt see tl1ooops and co heading back, you guys must have got bored waiting, fair enough. David and i found our own place to go.

[HACHET]

i got pulled by the rozzers so i called it a night but yeah it was a good ride good roads.

[Waylander]

Well that would be fine too as long as they actually let me test the thing.
Last few times I've taken a bike out from them I've had no escort though.


what ya riding this time jacob
XB9S, see if people are right and that there really is little to no difference between that and the 12.

[Warr]

.......

Heard the same ... Be interesting to hear your thoughts too

[TerminalAddict]

we're you parked at the engineers shop at whatawhata?

[deeknow]

Was a good ride tonight.

Yeah, short and sweet. Worked out well as two little groups.

I havent been out on that Bridal-veil-falls Rd for ages, nice quiet out-and-back route aye and some cool scenery along the way.

[Slicksta]

Yes indeed was good, i def enjoyed chasing Dargor through the twisties!

[HACHET]

no i was not parked at the engineers place maybe i should have and avoided capture.

[Mental Trousers]

Having some drinks at The Riv tomorrow (Friday 18th) at 6:00pm. Come along.

30m from the Grey St/Clyde St intersection is a large car park. The Riv is in the far corner. Go through the glass doors on the left.

[tri boy]

Me and Kanny will be there.:niceone:

just you remember your one of the "big wheelers" now

[ZeroIndex]

just you remember your one of the "big wheelers" now

LOL!!! Thanks for remembering that post... that's funny :yes:

[Waylander]

Just an FYI, no escort and I went out to Raglan.
Managed a few wheelies while messing around in town as well.
Damn I want one now.

[Switch]

XB9S, see if people are right and that there really is little to no difference between that and the 12.

Did you notice a difference?

[Waylander]

Did you notice a difference?
Oddly, yea. The 9 felt twitchy as hell out on the open road. Any small movement from my shoulders down my arms was amplified. Steering Damper would sort that out though so no real biggie.And it felt alot smaller for some reason.
Power was the same in all but the top two gears for rolls ons.

[Dargor]

So whos keen for a ride tomorrow. I should be unless im busy sending people to jail.

[Warr]

So whos keen for a ride tomorrow. I should be unless im bussy sending people to jail.
Monopoly time again eh ? ... or are you refering to your line of business
Yes Should be out...if work doesnt get in the way

[Big Chim]

Keen for tomorrow

send us a text Warr

[HACHET]

should be out unless work drags on

[Teflon]

So who's the homosexual on a blue R6 who everytime he sees me does a u-turn ( down Te Rapa ) chases me, and pulls a little wheelie :laugh:

Fuck he must go through some steering head bearings.. fucking homo

[Mental Trousers]

You must be famous or something. Why else would he chase you :laugh:

[Teflon]

pass.. i think he maybe a little bent. I get a little paranoid when he's behind me..

[smoky]

Sounds like the young fella who came around the Coro with us last year on a blue R6 - Terminal went around him on a corner two up on his Hornet, the R6 boy packed a sad and went home

Tell him he needs to learn how to wheelie.

[carver]

Tell him he needs to learn how to wheelie.

yeah, he does boomer style wheelies..
there is another R6 around that i know of too
i have clocked him at 140kph on the back wheel doing a stand up down t straight

the ER6 is hard to hold up past 115!

I do recall giving you the hurry up Mr Carver... through the tight stuff too ;)

[Warr]

So much excitement in one night.
Great trip to nice place where HN Ulysses was also having an outing.
The trip back was er.. eventful. Man with flashing lights was tripping on a mixture of Power and Paranoia.
Slide car sideways into the side of the road except I had already stopped 20 metres away, but I can well imagine his intention.
Hand was quivering over the pepper spray in this belt clip.
Made a mistake by producing phone camera and leaning inside the car to take a snap of the qismo on the dash with red numbers. It was his personal space and I hadnt asked.
The words "arrest" and "down to the station" were mentioned several times. ........................ It seemed an opportune time to yes sir/no sir him so Happy ending..
I think perhaps he was lonely and just wanted to talk to someone, who knows

[Mental Trousers]

You're a criminal and you had to be reminded of that. Don't do it again. Whatever it was.

[Warr]

You're a criminal and you had to be reminded of that. Don't do it again. Whatever it was.
I know ... I'm bad :spanking: that was for the 1km over the open road tolerance
I also decided that I wouldnt like their job, well apart from handbrake turns, sliding a car around ..

[Dargor]

Gosh that does sound like an exciting night, i did miss out, although i probably would have been miles behind anyway, especially if numbers red enough to send cars sideways were involved.

Apparently they weren't though.

[2 wheel madness]

Ill be out tomorrow if the weathers any good, any one else keen???

[HACHET]

[Warr]

Will be out if conditions are ok. But have a late job to go to so need to be back by 8.30 at the latest.

[Warr]

Shouldn't go round telling lies, that SV didn't do any wheelies :innocent: must have been a trick of the light. remember WANBNC.

[2 wheel madness]

Well i can see an after work ride coming up in the near future........... wont be this week for me (knowing my luck it'll be in the middle of the v8's) but with a new bike on its way i will need some time in the saddle to become one with the new machine

[2 wheel madness]

triumph sold last week, and without a replacement firmly lined up that was a bit scary, open the shed door and :shit: no bike. Hopefully the new beastie will be under me friday or sat :woohoo:

now this is the perfect kind of event I would like to see on http://www.mcrides.co.nz

anyways:
Yep .. post details and I'm sure people will turn up

[Dargor]

It looks like a good night for a ride.

Anyone else think so?

[Warr]

Yes good night for a ride for sure.
The last leg at 9 was rather cool with headache inducing coldness !!
Good thing the distance wasnt far.

[shadow sol]

is this still a weekly ride? i wouldn't mind coming along sometime, although i'm on an L plate with a little 125cc so obviously not going to keep up to well :(

[Dargor]

Na were not very regular at the moment it seems to get dark very quickly, but your welcome to come along. We can wait for you at the turn offs.

[PaddyFZ1]

Any one keen on a bit of a spin tonight?
Im trying to get some k's on the bike so i can get the first service done.
Wont be too fast as im still getting used to the new bike.

[Warr]

Could be keen, if the road stays dry and you arent going too far :)
I'll PM u my cell

What time .. used to go at 5.30 but earlier suits me today

[PaddyFZ1]

Ill be home about 5. Will txt you then.
By that stage we should have an idea on what the weather gods have in store for us.

[@mmie]

Sorry boys I won't be out tonight, I've got badminton during the winter months. + I don't like to get my hair wet :bleh: lol

[Warr]

Not a bad outing, 2 hours worth with stop. No rain just patches of wet road.
The new sealed bit on the waingaro loop has a bit of subsidence.
Tis a few dips that needs respect now.

[smoky]

Hope the weathers good this Wednesday - I'm working in Hamilton this week and should be able to make it for a ride

[Warr]

5.30 Caltex, Whatawhata Rd, be there or txt if your going to be late

[Warr]

Mm Road was dry in town but not so further out, so didnt stay out very long. Still was good to make it out mid week :)

[smoky]

Yep - got a bit wet, but still enjoyed getting out

[smoky]

Thanks Warren - I enjoyed the ride tonight. :banana:
Thanks for slowing down for me, hope I didn't hold you up too much.:nono:

Nice bar that one in Cambridge we'll have to do that one again some night, hopefully there'll be more of us soon????
any one else planning on joining in the Wednesday night ride.

[wysper]

hope so! Pick up my bike this weekend!! And if I can juggle my young family - ie bribe my better half then I am in :scooter:

Pool hussler!! They may not let you back in. Have to play doubles next time so you can still fit your helmet on when we go to leave :)
I slowed down cause it was the social thing to do... and also worried about the candle at the front of your bike giving you enough light. When are you going to put some spots on.

[smoky]

Doesn't matter how many lights I fit - my eyes don't see that well at night anyway.

[smoky]

Who's up for a short ride tonight

[Dargor]

Yea i could be up for a ride.

[Murray]

Early night at the pub to watch the AB's, maybe next week

[smoky]

last night was good - a bit wet out thru to Pirongia, but the roads dried up south of there, shot thru Te Kawa to Cambridge, RPM for a drink, then Kaipaki road home.
Only three of us VFR750, bandit 1200 and FZR250 - most places we just cruised about 110
Only one dissapointment was the demerit points issued 5 minutes from home for one of us.
http://www.mcrides.co.nz/index.php?showtopic=10114&pid=16224&st=0&#entry16224

[Dargor]

.. and FZR250 fzr400 :)

Strange how i didn't have to slam on my breaks when the cop was doing the u-turn and you did, when i was in front of you.

[smoky]

fzr400 :)

I am sorry - thought it was a 250


i didn't have to slam on my breaks when the cop was doing the u-turn and you did, when i was in front of you.

Yep, but doesn't sound as good. But honestly she shouldn't of pulled out accross the front of us. Actually it was probably your bike she locked on to for the 114 as we came around that bend

[carver]

stop giving bikers a bad name!

[Dargor]

lol, should have done a runner ah, to preseve the name.

[Warr]

Tis Wednesday. Any takers for an outing ?

[Mental Trousers]

There'll be 2

[carver]

did you get a ER6?

[Mental Trousers]

It's a borrow. Goes back on the weekend. I like it though. Would definitely cough up dollars for the F version.

[carver]

cool bikes eh...
forgiving, punchy, agile, and a good allrounder.

if ya get good you can deck it out on the road!

my old one still goes too!

[Mental Trousers]

Yeah they are a good bike. Quite an around town hooligan bike. The motor would pull from anywhere and had a nice punch up top. I think the bars were aftermarket though cos they were Ventura's and looked lower than I've seen on other ER's.

If I had one I'd definitely end up throw some money at suspension. There's not much wrong with what it's got, but once you've ridden something with really good suspension any standard stuff feels so wrong.

[Murray]

Anyone interested in weekend rides Mister Koz is trying to start a group for the cruisey weekend riders

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1771010#post1771010

Be good if we can get a few more come on board
