Its a hard one, cos you will want to sell your bike fast for lots of $ but to sell it fast it has to be cheap!
Good luck any way mate

[Ruralman]

There s a lot of new names on here that I haven't met and hopefully I can put that right on the day of the Rescue Helicopter charity ride. I presume theres a few others in the same situation.

It would be good to be able to meet up just prior to this ride on the 28th.
The problem is we haven't got a KiwiBiker flag to put up to meet under - which is unfortunate because that is an obvious thing that we all know, stands out in the crowd etc

Then I got to thinking - it looks like there is one of our members in Dunedin who seems to be known to all, rides something that screams "look at me" even before he starts it up (and then it SCREAMS - 'fucking well look at me NOW" when he does start it up) so maybe we use him as our flagpole (he's not quite tall enough, but close):clap:

So does anyone NOT know Delphinus ???? - no, those of you who wish you didn't but do actually know him don't count.:bash:
So how about we all gather around the computer geek riding the canary?? - wheres a good place?? Opposite MCR ??
After all that Jack - are you actually going to be able to make it?:yes:

[Steam]

Opposite MCR sounds as good as anywhere.

Yes I suppose you're right about the noise - but is that distinguished looking moustached old fart, oops I mean gentleman :spanking: as well known as the bespeckled canary???
Hope your recovery goes smoothly

OK heres a question for discussion - If the Custard square was the father and the Canary 600 was the love child - what bike would have been the mother???

For those of you who mentioned they are considering the have a go class at Teretonga some info from what I have seen them do in the past. Sign in starts at 9am. The cost in the past has been a bargain $30 and you will probably get 4? 10 min sessions. Don't miss the riders briefing or you probably will not ride, newbies get an extra chat after the main riders briefing.
If you are timid the track is fast... with high speed corners but its wide enough not to cause hassles with faster riders passing.
If you want to check details the SMCC website is http://www.southlandmotorcycleclub.org.nz/
The contact person is John Beck and there appears to be heaps of extra events scheduled this weekend with...
South Island Cup - Round 2
SMCC Winter Series - Round 2
Sportzfotoz Junior Cup
so if you want to make sure there is a 'have a go' section might pay to check first.
I will be there anyway Motard #78 so say hi!


EDIT::: I see from the South Island Cup regulations that Scrutineering is at 8am and riders briefing at 9. So if you are expecting to have a go then phone them first to check that its included in this Sundays events.

If anybody does call to check why not post the answer for the others who may be considering the trip down. Should be good to watch anyway.

Yeah my bike is all good for the weekend, just needed to get my touring tyres changed to my super sporty 208's.

I have emailed the guy from southland, he usually gets back to me pretty quick but not till after 830 im guessing.

damn skippy. who is up for a quick ride before this rain starts? im going to leave in the next hour at the latest.

[rachprice]

Oh I might be keen need a shower though...wont be long!

[Ruralman]

Well I'm heading into Dunedin on the bike soon so if you see a big black thing with headlights like a railway train - its probably just me.
If its not raining when I get to Waihola I'll probably skip over the Taieri Mouth road - still trying to get that road worked out. The corners aren't easy to read and there always seems to be loose stuff - Delphinus and I had quite a few twitches riding through there a few nights ago.

i was just over the waihola road before, still some loose shit on the road which is a pain.we had some rain in town before but wasnt raining down there

[scorry]

Yeah i went over that road not too long ago and it was dodgy as, but at least they have put up some corner speed signs now cos some of them really sneek up on ya.
Good to see most of the gravel has gone off the road now though

[Draig]

I went over there last Saturday and they are repairing the seal (yes already) just as you leave the top and drop down towards Whaihola (heading south). Large patches of loose stuff and absolutley no road signs warning you of the fact. Bloody iresponsible in my opinion. Had a few 'interesting' moments:shit:

[GaZBur]

Ok Its definatly on :banana:
Geeze Gary, dont do that to me mate.

Ha - sorry but I would rather check it out than travel all the way there for nothing. Want to swap bikes for a few laps???? Well you can't blame me for trying! Did you find out what the story was with times. Scruitneering etc and sign on time? God I hate those early starts. See you there. My front tyre is meant to arrive tomorrow - the old tyres that came with the rims are like riding on grease.

Yeah definitely. I was up touring there in March. Favorites would be forgotten highway, most of the coromandel, and the east cape. Oh and the rimu takas - managed to get a clean run ALL the way up due to roadworks :D Will prob be doing it again next March (best weather then, and no holiday traffic).

Thats right i remember you telling me you had to wait for ages for roadworks and of course you got right to the front of the Q so when they finally let you through you had no traffic, its like a dream.

Just heard back from John, 9am at the track is good.
See you all there

[scorry]

Hi all, i had a great day yesterday at teretonga.
We got 4 runs for $30 so that is pretty good val.
Poor Nathan had a bit too much to drink the night before so only did 2 runs before he decided he better ride home before he does something too silly.
The first run was a bit wet but we were the first group, so by the time it got back to us the track was pretty much dry.
I managed to do one lap at 1:10, and a few at 1:12 but averaged around 1:14.
I had some serious fogging issues with my helmet so i think it mite be time for a new screen.
Highly recommended and im definatly going again.

Well whatever day that lot were going through, all I know was that I was with my rugby guys (I'm one of their medics) out at Miller Park,(Green Island) on saturday and there was a hell of a lot of "some bunch of bastards" allriding northwards on the motorway right in plain view in front of me. They could have at least left earlier from wherever they came from and have gone through while I was inside and could have been oblivious to their passage.......

as it was I just had to stand there and watch them go by....

[Ecclesnz]

Okay, folks, finally thought I would say hello. :wavey:

My name's Glenn and I've only recently got back into riding on road after a while off, but still had fun puttering round off road on farms and such.

I work in a call centre here in town and have a nice big old '87 Suzuki Savage LS650.

Have been recovering from a leg injury (non bike related) that has taken a while so once back riding (need a new tyre for the beast) will be looking for shortish rides to start with, keen to finally meet some of you guys.

Having read through 138 pages of posts over a week or so I feel like I know some of you so well already.

As some have noticed I have put my name down for the KB rally and really hope to get along, will do all I can to make it. Also keen to get along to some other rallies $$$ permitting.

Tend to be very shy when I first meet people, but once I feel safe I open up and there's usually no stopping me.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Welcome! It's not Contact is it?
I used to work there as a CSR. I wrote a guide entitled "How to steal power and get away with it".

You'd be amazed at how adventurous I can be darrrrrrling - and the belly dance costume is for you for next weekend - you seem to have the belly to fill in all the gaps !!:cold:


Are you serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:headbang:
It'll be like following a bus! Between you and Jantar, we wont be able to PASS!

Those puppies won't be on the bike all the time but they'll be great when I need them - as for passing, well Jantar and I only let you pass when we feel like a slow cruise anyway so I'm sure you'll find room on the outside rather than the odd inside pass you've done to me in the past!!:bash:


You said you didn't wear makeup... truth comes out now...
I never said any such thing - you think its easy to look this good ????


Watch the start stop line...it can be a really bad look:lol:
Just like shaving but then you'd.......... stop Bruce, thats too far, backtrack, apologize ever so slightly, restart....... thank you for that good advise, but how do you brush this stuff in through the stubble????


thats ok Chris I had to ask Xaria as well...

Yeah Right - you've always looked a bit too glowy in the morning - must have been those illuminous spheres you applied before you stuck your mug out the tent


The trick is to work up toward the cheekbones...

So who was the dickhead who got photographed (in todays ODT page 22 ) on the Cheescutter protest ride . For those who haven't seen it the photo is taken from a following car (doesn't say whether it was the driver who took it). It shows the rider riding along in heavy rain at the back of a group of bikes and he/she has stood up and swung his right leg over the seat and has it just behind his left leg.
Thanks to this dickhead the only publicity photo for a ride to protest against unsafe road barriers - is of a rider doing dumb unsafe riding

I did it last year and its longer than that. It was a good mixed course hard gravel road, soft gravel tracks, a small drop off, some smallish jumps. It was a real interesting and fun track they laid out an I managed to get around OK despite my crap off road skills. Enter the clubmans and you get twice as many runs too! Sign in is 11 am Milners Pit opposite the Taieri Golf Club.

So if we got the KB flag and rode in a tight group - would we qualify as a float entry ????:Punk::Punk::chase:

Sounds like fun - there's no rally the BF clashes with is there??

[Jantar]

I'm not aware of any clash with the BF dates. It does cost to enter a float, and all bikes would have to be capable of travelling at walking speed or less. I do know of a GN I could get for the day, that should be slow enough.

However if anyone wants to stay at El Rancho for the weekend, its always open house.

Thats my bike out then ... :doh:

Bronz Otago went in the parade a few years back, its really slow and it was like 40 degrees, they had problems with a few bikes overheating and a goldwing blew a radiator hose. They have decided not to do it anymore.

If they were to do it they would need to go first at a normally pace... then the rest of the parade brining up the rear

Last year at the toy run the ole VTR was struggling with the heat... poor girl wasn't too happy about that :(

The blossom festival is a lot slower than the toy run, mainly because there are people walking in the parade, and its alex, so it always farking hot
What we did was get right up behind the people in front then stop and turn the bikes off for a couple of minutes then same again.

I know...

but if you do the bike run first then the bikes don't have go at that speed... it will become to seperate parades in a sense

It won't be all that hot at the end of September - its not summer temps we are talking about here - as for the speed - mmmm - we could ride in an oval pattern going round and round with the oval gradually moving forward - some of you sports bike riders might be :buggerd: with that though.
If we were really good we could do a figure 8 if we could avoid each other in the middle ??? - then at least we get to turn both ways

That might need some practise in a car park or quiet road - twood be easier after a few drinks??

Does anyone know where I can get results for the Gravel Bent Sprint from Sunday.

Man it was cooooold!!!

[GaZBur]

Pat circulated them at the club meeting last night and i am guessing they will be in the newsletter next month. I wasn't worried about the cold - it was the way my motor missed after the big puddle (small lake) and my air filter was soaking wet. The club meeting also discussed a Club web site - so maybe in the future you can look at them on line - but not yet.

There is no rally clash with the B/M. One week after Pissed Penguin / Kaka Point

Finally got out on the bike yesterday, was only for about 45 mins while doing a couple of messages including an appointment at work, but it felt good.

Although legs sure are not used to it.

Now just need a huge fan to blow the rain away and I'll be happy :D

[hayd3n]

[barryr1]

It sure was cold, without being a member of the OMC so no new letter a web page would be good - especially for upcoming events

Sunday 13th July, Wayne, owner of Honda Otago, broke his leg & has had it pinned.
He was just about to leave for the UK release of the new Triumph Thunderbird 1600cc. Bummer eh.

[Daffyd]

Sure is a bummer. Don't suppose he wants someone to go in his place? (hint)
