North Shore ride - Invasion of the Southers!

[Donor]

18th March 2007 - changed to this date to suit us hard core Southers!*

So, you going?

I'm going.

See the Meetings and Events area, I'm too cool to post a link.

Zeocen - be there, or I will clean your bike.

Chisanga - be there, or I will scuff your leathers.

Lucy - be there or I will tip your bike over while you change.

Mav - be there, or I will hide your shades thus reducing your biker cred.

Gijoe1313 - be there, or I will not remove the caveat on Daisy preventing any ricer bling.

McChickaJim - Half of you be there, or I will ... well, it won't be pleasant.

Everyone else - be there, or Zeocen will sing.





*Southers = South of the Bridge...

[bobsmith]

Shit, time to get your guns out and lay the mines on the bridge guys....

[Unforgiven]

Dammit, Id better hurry up and get some paint on my fairings and put the bike back together.

Sorry dude, probably can't make it :( And my leathers have a scuff mark on them from my last bin :)

[gijoe1313]

My Bonny is over the ocean, my Bonny is over the sea,
my Bonny is over the ocean, o bring back my Bonny to me!
Bring back, bring back, o bring back my Bonny to me, to me;
bring back, bring back, o bring back my Bonny to me!

And now ... for something completely different ...

Pootle over the bridge to goodness knows where? Like everything else in my life, I cannot make a commitment without it blowing back up in my face! :doh: ...

So... in reverse pyschology karmic terms ... "I won't be there!"

[El Dopa]

Oh, heck.

Got the carbs back from Motorcycle Surgery today. Send me some good vibes and hope that everything goes back on the bike alright and she works....

Booked Friday off work to scout the route.

Could someone wake Mav's weather Genie up? Ta.

[zeocen]

I won't be able to make it :( a greater force (in the form of a female) has me surrendered on sunday, if it was saturday I could have come!

My bike could do with more than a clean.. try some plastic welding and a new windshield!

And also, my singing is flawless thank you very much!

[idleidolidyll]

so is this the north dorklanders coming south or the south dorklanders going north..............AGAIN!

[Donor]

What's a Dorklander? Damned if I can find a Dorkland on my map.

And ain't nuthin' wrong with us going there - means more riding time for us.

No pleasing some people.

I will seek this female, and berate her. I have sacrificed golf and beer, you SHALL attend.

And you don't need plastic welding, duct tape works better.

As for your singing, explain why all the windows in your house are Plexiglas then!

[Donor]

Oh, heck.

I shall light the sacred incense and begin the chants to alert the necessary deities to your plight...


Booked Friday off work to scout the route.

Oh sure, you COULD organise a set route - but where's the fun in THAT?


Could someone wake Mav's weather Genie up? Ta.

I'll fetch my Genie waking stick...

an hour + on an auckland motorway? hardly quality ride time.

if that's to go north then i'm not interested; must be their turn to come south

An hour + on a bike is an hour + on a bike. 'nuff said.

Didn't realise biking was a turns based game. Brings back fond memories of BRE/SRE...

Anyway, enjoy your day south of the bridge on Sunday. You'll be missed. Probably.

[El Dopa]

must be their turn to come south

Well, that's sort of the point.

This is a 250 slow/medium ride, aimed at the less experienced who want to gain a bit of road time without it being a baptism of fire. It's also for those on any size of bike who don't necessarily want to squid it up.

Maverick & McJim have been organising rides along these lines down south every fortnight for the last six months or so. I thought it was time to invite them north, especially as there's a group of north shore usual suspects who travel south for their rides regularly.

[idleidolidyll]

An hour + on a bike is an hour + on a bike. 'nuff said.

nope, an hour on a motorbike on the auckland motorway is an hour missed on some other far better piece of tarmac

Didn't realise biking was a turns based game. Brings back fond memories of BRE/SRE...

sometimes it is and sometimes it's just about respect

Anyway, enjoy your day south of the bridge on Sunday. You'll be missed. Probably.

:yes: "probably", i like that tongue in cheek stuff, i thought the talk last week was to head to hamilton and meet those guys?

[McJim]

I've been Ill.

The In-Laws have arrived.

I can't make it and neither can the missus - sorry.

fair enuff,
my bad, thought it was about the usual suspects seen on thursdays

i'll take my leave and leave you to it

how about i come on my wife's 32hp buell blast?????.............jus kiddin

[Donor]

:yes: "probably", i like that tongue in cheek stuff, i thought the talk last week was to head to hamilton and meet those guys?

I didn't realise there was ANY talk of a run to the 'tron.

And you do realise of course it's rare to get peak hour level traffic on the M1 on a Sunday. Unless it's b0rked by way of tourist related prang. Or some ministerial cavalcade. Or stuff.

End of the day, I'm going. Whether or not anyone tags along is none of my concern. (This of course is diplomacy speak for "I don't give a shit")

NOBODY got the BRE/SRE reference???

I also have no problem with tongue in cheek - provided the tongue and cheek are mine. Unless the tongue belongs to some hot chick. Then she can borrow the inside of my cheek.

[zeocen]

I ride on the motorway from manurewa to westgate often in different traffic, I haven't had a frustrated time wishing I was somewhere else yet! Regardless of where I am, on a bike is on a bike and that's good enough for me!

I wish I could make this trip, would've been my first venture over the bridge.. I hope you guys do it again soon so I can go the next time!

[El Dopa]

Just to let eveyone know that if the weather is as shit as it was this evening, I'll be bailing out of my own ride. I'll make a decision Sat evening once I've seen the forecast, and post my decision then.

:gob: You are joking me! I remember way back in the ol'days when a group of seriously deranged bikers still on their learners (and still are some of us!) Went and pootled around the twisties in the rain! :sweatdrop

Mad? Aye.

Had fun? For sure.

Would we do it again? Dunno! :whistle:

Yes, if my hazy memory serves me right .. McJim in his leathers..Mav doing his "I'm sorry the weather genie was on holiday" spiel ... Donor, shitting bricks as he was totally new to this biking game on his hand grenade called Daisy ... and a deranged little ol'Hornet rider who was cackling in his helmet due to the lovely two stroke smell coming from Daisy ahead!

G'wan, y'know y'want to nana it in the rain! :msn-wink:

[McJim]

Aye them was character building days for sure - I've had a few soakings since then too being an every day motorcyclist - it stops being fun in the rain when you do it too often....more of a chore really.

Forecast ain't too bad for Friday and Saturday - rain should have spent itself by tomorrow afternoon until Sunday - ride safe and enjoy - I think Mave will bring his weather genie too...mibbe.

[Donor]

So who the smeg is going to hold my hand whilst we (or I) pootle out to for'n parts!

Best I take a few tablespoons of concrete powder and harden up...

[El Dopa]

Probably best I do the same thing...

Weather forecast ain't too bad for Sunday......

The weather better be good.

Or else I have pissed off some good golfing buddies, and the missus will have me finishing off the renovations in the bathroom!

[Lucy]

Ok, I'm back, and I'm glad I didnt miss this ride. Count me in. Although I am shaking my head in amazement at what I'm reading here. Someone from Manukau is complaining about an hour+ on the motorway, (is there a bike slower than the GN?????) Someone else is going to lay mines on the bridge, but the meeting point is out the end of the Northwestern. Zeocen is under the thumb, and Donor is giving up golf AND beer.

I can't turn my back for a minute.....(let alone a week, a week when I rode my trusty GN down to the Central Plateau in summer and returned in winter)

At least GIJoe is still normal.

[gijoe1313]

Ying tong iddy I po! :wacko:

I sense a red shiny bike convoy....

if I get around to cleaning mine that is

and if two bikes can be called a convoy.

Damn straight it's a convoy - if a mini one! :D

[zeocen]

Why couldn't it have been a Saturday ride damnit :(

[Donor]

Why couldn't it have been a Saturday ride damnit :(

Because.

Now, sort the female out, and we WILL see you tomorrow... good lad...

[toymachine]

I'm thinking about coming.

Also thinking of heading on the ride, might cyas tomoro.

[duckaddict]

How come no calendar sign-up feature? Someone PM me details pls - hope the weather holds.

[Donor]

(Repost from the Meetings and Events thread)

I'm bailing out.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to commit to the ride as I have to go and play golf today.

SWMBO has decreed that this is law, and as such (we have a bloody uncomfortable couch) I will be housebound tomorrow instead.

PM me for her email address if you wish to send appeals on my behalf!

Otherwise, have a good ride tomorrow guys and gals, stay safe and do some k's for me!

*cough* *cough* SOFT COCK ........

[El Dopa]

Despite all my efforts, the bike will not be running until at least next week.

It would be an understatement to say I am pissed off at the moment.

PM's will be sent to all those who PM'd me for details.

My apologies to everyone.

I'd suggest those who want to ride tomorrow meet up and organise their own route, but I will be unable to make it.

CANCELLED

[Maverick]

I cant make it either, but I do have a ride organised next weekend if people are intersted.

Updated, no longer able to do a ride this weekend, maybe in another 2 weeks when first paycheck from new job comes though.

Mav

[jade]

cancelled...

Well, I am working Sat/Sun for the next 5 weeks - so this is enough to move me to swearing.

I'll do it over a whiskey later.

Ho ho plague boy. How was your weekend with the in-laws?

I tiled the bathroom too. Woe is me.

[Donor]

I tiled the bathroom too. Woe is me.

Excellent, I need some pointers on doing mine...

[zeocen]

Oh you two are just so domesticated !

Just as well I didn't cancel and get unwanted anger! The weather didn't really seem good for much of a ride anyhow.

This weather seems to bring out the stupidity in people(me included), so it was probably for the best hehe

Maybe some midweek rides are in order?

[zeocen]

I'm dead keen on that, although I don't finish work till 6pm usually! :(

[zeocen]

Although some days I don't start till 1pm, so an early morning ride could be in order for people with flexible work hours!?

I know Donor has these, since I rode past his ZZR at Mitre10 parking lot in Takanini yesterday, how's the sandpapering going?:innocent:

Shurrup... lol

An orbital sander makes short work of it thankyewverrymarchly...

I'm off Monday and Tuesday for the next 4 weeks.

Coincidentally, the wife works Monday and Tuesday - bugger!

So long as I am back by 3 to get the big fella from school, it's always a possibility.

:scooter:

[zeocen]

I don't mind night rides as long as the weathers fine, but I'd have to be back by 12:30 at least if it were mornings..

Just went to get gas and some munchies now and noticed that my low-beam tail light had asploded :bye: (brake light still works), so looks like I have my own bike ride planned tomorrow.................to repco! :scooter:

[Donor]

...and noticed that my low-beam tail light had asploded

Thank god you're back at work - Rugrats has done things to you!
