[Zukin]

Hey all

Well I have just rolled back into Hawkes Bay, after a very successful Dusty Butt ride
Although not the fastest riders for the event, we finished with a time of 22 hours :eek:
That was 22 hours non stop with only a few breaks for liquid.
The temperatures reached over 35 degrees during the day at one part, and down to 7 degrees in the wee hours of the morning
An amazing ride on gravel, 22 hours is a long time in the saddle, but it was a challenge that I can now say I have completed.

Whilst I feel good now, I had blisters on my hands, a sprained neck from the sheer distance and torture

Wasp27 those light mounts were the best!!!
They were by far the best ones out there, and certainly made my life a lot easier navigating the tracks and gravel roads at 2am :Punk:

So already I am thinking of "what next" :clap:

G4E - Congrats on the new addition to the family, so are you the new Nana and Pops of KB Hawkes Bay :shutup:

[robertydog]

so are you the new Nana and Pops of KB Hawkes Bay :shutup:

Oh hell yea

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Thanks for all the comments ppl. No pic's yet Rob. Haven't seen da boy yet. Today I hope, if I can get the last of the shearing done and fix the water supply. Hope to leave at lunch time. Tis a good thing.

Aye Zukin..... What a trip man......... I don't think I could do 22 hours on the Gixxer. 8-9 max and I have a pain in the butt.... Yes thank you Rob ;) ..... But then I am an old fart now. If Wasp27 made it, it is going to be the best. He is like that. :2thumbsup

Later, and take care out there on the roads. They get enough tax so don't add to it.

C U Frday W. :calm: :lol:

[Colapop]

Grandy Stevo and Nanny Moo!!! Had to happen sooner or later I suppose... now you can really be called the Old Man of the Bay :clap:

[MSTRS]

Showered so best I get the family in the cage and go driving for a few hours. Bloody hell it is going to take 3 hours twenty in the car. Not 2 hour and fourty five like the bike. Somethin wrong here. I see lots of bike trips in the near future.

Thought so, id keep it quiet too.

[Stickchick]

You can always have him back.......... I could send you a better pic via PM if you want.........

I'm currently working on that and yes please :woohoo:

[yungatart]

Come on Pop, we dont want to see the bloody cat we want to see ya grandchild.

Just this one time, I have to agree with Robertydog...we want pics!

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Come on Pop, we dont want to see the bloody cat we want to see ya grandchild. Did you tell him you got a Suzuki or did you keep it quiet and say nothing?

Oh I told him. His mother was not pleased cos he got over excited and wanted to go for a ride. I will get him the hat. Might do it for a week or two. A pic for you Rob.

[yungatart]

Man, that is a big hand wrapped around that little fella!!
He's so cute!
What's his name??

[Colapop]

Humpff!! Babies, what's with that? Why can't they just come out as toddlers? Far more fun...

As far as babies go... I spose it looks ok... from a distance...

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I'm currently working on that and yes please :woohoo:

I will send them in 5 minutes via Email cos Rob doesn't want to see any more. :spanking:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Man, that is a big hand wrapped around that little fella!!
He's so cute!
What's his name??

Benedict...........

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Humpff!! Babies, what's with that? Why can't they just come out as toddlers? ...

:eek: I think the mother might have somethin to say about that Cola. And da Father



As far as babies go... I spose it looks ok... from a distance...

I am inclined to agree that most baby pic's look the same to me. Different when they are your own but really a baby picture is a baby picture. :jerry:

[MSTRS]

I'm keeping outa this one....no matter what I say I would be in trouble

[yungatart]

I'm keeping outa this one....no matter what I say I would be in trouble

Did you take wisdom pills or summat this morning?
Must unlike you to be so sage.....

[Colapop]

Are you saying it's the herb YT?? :doobey:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I'm keeping outa this one....no matter what I say I would be in trouble

A wise man John. I got good advice from W. He told me to walk behind Mooo when we arrived at the baby factory. Why you ask....... cos I would get killed in the rush from da Mooo. He was right. A very wise man that Wasp27.

[Maha]

Did you take wisdom pills or summat this morning?
Must unlike you to be so sage.....

I agree......i see MSTRS as more of a Parsley type of guy....:lol:

[Colapop]

You called the mother a "Baby factory"???!!?? Even I wouldn't do that!

ok maybe I would...

[yungatart]

Are you saying it's the herb YT?? :doobey:


I agree......i see MSTRS as more of a Parsley type of guy....:lol:

I'm confused....
He who normally rushes in where angels fear to tread, has slowed down and kept his counsel, for once.
Most unlike my man....gotta be something...herb, parsley, rosemary, who knows??

[Colapop]

He's taken up golf - except all he's got are the clubs... :innocent:

[yungatart]

Are you sure Col?
I'm sure I've seen his balls too:whistle:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Are you sure Col?
I'm sure I've seen his balls too:whistle:

:eek: You are very quiet hxc............ no input on this one then?????? :laugh:

[yungatart]

:eek: You are very quiet hxc............ no input on this one then?????? :laugh:

Nah, cos I am on his computer!!!

[Mom]

Nah, cos I am on his computer!!!

Bit late entering this little conversation.....

That baby is as cute as newborn babies get! I personally like them when they start to give something back......baby smiles rock!

As far as balls goes, I cant comment, as hxc finds some of my comments a bit disturbing...ROTFLMAO!

:love: you hxc

PS: I have not seen your fathers balls so you can relax ;)

[robertydog]

Oh I told him. His mother was not pleased cos he got over excited and wanted to go for a ride. I will get him the hat. Might do it for a week or two. A pic for you Rob.

About time. Is that a yamahahahaha blue blanky hes got? :niceone:

[yungatart]

Well, he rides a gixxer! No room or need to pack your balls when you ride a gixxer....:laugh:
I think I should leave now....

[robertydog]

Well, he rides a gixxer! No room or need to pack your balls when you ride a gixxer....:laugh:
I think I should leave now....


Was there something to pack?:eek:

[Colapop]

I have not seen your fathers balls so you can relax ;)
Me either - I guess they're still in YT's handbag!

[MSTRS]

Was there something to pack?:eek:

Well, someone will be packing, that's for sure...

[yungatart]

Was there something to pack?:eek:

All I said was I'm sure I've seen his old golf balls around here somwhere...and why on earth you would want to take golfing equipment on a motorbike ride beats me, especially when you ride a Gixxer.Riding is much more fun than golf.
So that explains why Mom and Col have not seen his balls, cos they only ever see him with his gixxer.
Sheesh, people!

[Mom]

Sheesh, people!

I know they can be soooooooo ruuuuddddeee :innocent:

I see you wash hands too tart?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Sorry young man. I didn't have the X50 so was looking for tax men. My bike is not shiny cos Speights_bud had it last weekend and it looks like a trail bike. The blown fuse thing has come back to haunt me so I better strip it down and get that sorted. I hate that type of work. Still better get it done so it is off the road for a week or two. Have a nice day riding people.

[MSTRS]

Why were you watching for 'bandits'? A well-behaved Gixxer was what I saw...
And a ride is definitely on today. Karuhunaki Rd - Waipawa - Tiko - home sound good?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

A well-behaved Gixxer was what I saw...


Thank you MSTR. Never hear anyone say that about the R1, do we ROB?

[yungatart]

BP Bayview 10.30!

[Dooly]

Nice bike Warwick.
Out of the dark ages huh?:drool:
Will sound the biz with mufflers!

Just dont get dressed in the dark......might put the Harley gear on instead.
That would be a sight....:Oops::clap:

[yungatart]

Hope you had a good ride Dooly. It was good to catch up with you.
We enjoyed a leisurely pootle to Wairoa, lunch (courtesy of Ostler's) on the riverbank, and lots of compulsory talking of shit.....then off to Mrs Moo's for coffee and cake, yummmy!
What a fantastic day for a ride, but wouldn't it be nice if Transit could sort out the running tar problem. I don't like it when the wheels squirm under me.....
Thanks everyone, superb day!

[Dooly]

Had a great day out to Puketitri with the Triumph group, then the long way to Chook & Filly for lunch.
Thought for a minute when I saw you at BP the bunch of compressors that turned up were coming with us, but luckily......
I bet the Wairoa rd was busy with bikes today.

Funnily enough, I told the guys you were heading for Wairoa and one who rides there a lot said, it would be a bad tar day today up there.

Was a nice day for sure :sunny:. Thanks for letting us join you. Yes we were an hour and a half late but we got there in the end. it takes a long time to put a Gixxer back together when looking for a wiring fault. :yes: But it looks to be good now. Was great to have you all here for a cuppa. Must do it more often. :love: the SV W. We will have you on a Gixxer in no time......:first: :innocent:...... :)
Time for sleep. Thanks people

Of course, if you lot had not abandoned HB and the good folk who live here, you, too, would be able to come riding with us and see the nice new uygjuggji for yourselves!

[Stickchick]

hey dooley, thanks for the ride on thursday mate, i enjoyed it. shame about the rain and sudden drop of temperature aye, i hope you warmed up quickly enough mate



dont know about a bad tar day, but that bloody rain pissed me off!!! both my mobiles were in the same "waterproof" pocket, one got wet and died and the other stayed ok and still works..............one cost 300 bucks and the other cost 80 bucks, guess which one died:mad: oh well i got me a new one now, number is still the same.

Dude!!!!!!! Get hold of me!!!!

[canarlee]

Dude!!!!!!! Get hold of me!!!!

um, you wanna re-phrase that stick???

[Dooly]

hey dooley, thanks for the ride on thursday mate, i enjoyed it. shame about the rain and sudden drop of temperature aye, i hope you warmed up quickly enough mate

Was a good ride eh, especially on the way back HW50.
As I told you on the day, because I'm purely a social rider I dont usually encounter rain as you obviously pick good days to ride if you have a choice.
But I did'nt mind it, as it gave me a chance to learn more on bike control and riding in wet, especially when it pissed down like that.

[Colapop]

*sigh* Looks like I'll just have to come down there now.....

With the big spread in the Napier Mail this week, the time has come to set up a table in town on Saturday to collect signatures. We need some help with this.
First, a table to use. Like a folding card table or similar. I have some stools.
Second, people to man the table. I suggest two at a time for an hour each, sort of thing.
Third, the flags.
I will provide the forms and other printed material, pens, etc.
I think that 10am-2pm should do it.
Who is in to help with this??

[yungatart]

Just in the process of getting council permission for this, there shouldn't be any problems tho. Will let you know this avo.

[Maffoo]

i can maybe give you an hour while the toadie is asleep :) probably on the saturday

i also have a fold-out picnic table which you are welcome to use
it comes with seats attached :)

[yungatart]

Council has granted permission.
Now all we need is more volunteers....

[Maffoo]

welli can give you more time if need be :)

[MSTRS]

Well done that man!
Are the rest of you scared???





If you're not , you should be...of YT that is...

[Maffoo]

flick me a txt if you want to have a look at this table i got
it might be a bit low .... it packs up into a suitcase-type thing so would be easy to set up & stuff... & you could come see it tonight if you wanted to

[Grumpy]

Put me down for an hour after lunch sometime. Got a bit on in the morning.

[speights_bud]

I have seen a black with silver sign writing road safety barrier systems ute around town the last few days, once pulling out of Fivestar and once driving in Hastings, anyone know what it's up to?

[MSTRS]

Nope. Never seen it. Can you go and blow up his muffler, Paddy...you're good at that.
Thanks for the offer of the folding table, Mafoo, but I think it would not be suitable for this purpose. A card table is best, not too big at about 1m on a side, a good height, I think Steve (G4E) has one....?

[Wasp27]

Well done that man!
Are the rest of you scared???





If you're not , you should be...of YT that is...

Just had a thought JB.....present workload prevents me from volunteering any spare time, but how about we generate a bit of local interest while the Table is set up by doing the 'Town & Around' thingy with both Flag Bikes. I could manage to give my lunch breaks....good excuse to stop feeding my face :laugh:what ya reckon????? Maybe even let the local Radio Stations know what's going on and give us some free plugs:msn-wink: Cheers W

[MSTRS]

Hmmmm....I had planned to drape the flags off the sides of the table.

[Maffoo]

can you let me know tonight when you plan on setting up & when you want me there pls mstrs :)

i also need to talk to yungatart about the best place to do my restricted

[yungatart]

Will ring you tonight, Matt.

[MSTRS]

We've just bought a folding table that is perfect for the job. So all we need are the bodies to (wo)man the thing.
Maffoo - have put you in at 10-11, with me. I can pick you up if you like??
hXc and Speights_Bud are 11-12
????? 12-1
Grumpy & YT are 1-2

[Maffoo]

sounds good to me dude

ill expect you from 9.30 onwards :)

i can go back if you cant get anyone from 12-1 if need be

[yungatart]

Thanks Mafoo.
12 -1 all sorted but thanks for the offer...you might end up doing a bit longer tho, if that is okay...

[Maffoo]

sweet as
anything to get me out of the house !

[yungatart]

Thanks to those who helped, we collected 29 pages of signatures. That is 340 odd people who think we are right.

[Maffoo]

wow thats pretty good !!

[MSTRS]

Yea...would have got more, but we ran out of pages. Should have printed more. Next time, eh?

[Maffoo]

rofl dont ya hate that?

good effort though eh :D

Well done, boys, we are proud of you!

That is not to detract from what any one else did, because you were all superb!
Just thought our teenagers deserved a special mention.....

<_< :oi-grr: But nice idea Cola

Great work from you all on the CC thingy on the weekend. I sat down and had a read of some of the forums last night relating to CC. We are lost at the moment when it comes to putting a case. I noted how many threads there are and had a read of some of the work BRONZ is doing. I believe in the dripping tap thing but the tap has to drip more than once a week. I have no idea where to from here. If a group went out and made an impact in on the city roads it might get people asking about things but it might turn many away. A 500,000 signature petition might get a reaction but I don't believe it will. Look at some of the bills the Polys put in place at the end of last year.

Might be time to take action. When I get out from under this work load I might try and put a ride together in Wellington or Auckland to disrupt traffic. We will need plenty of support and riders. lets see what happens.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Why I hate the system. Why we need to speak out and take action.

We had a raid on our business on Saturday night and an attempt was made to steal $11,250.00 worth of sheep. They only got $40.00 worth that I know of. Have I had the :Police: here yet? :no: Oh no they are to busy.


But should I go 110kmh on the road I get a ticket. yea I know, you are all sick of hearing this but I feel vindicated for how I feel about the system. Fuckem. Time to shoot people.

[yungatart]

One of the things taht grinds my gears the most is dishonesty of any sort.
Theft, lying, you name it...it is just wrong!
I feel for you, Steve. Lucky for you they didn't get much.

Hi Maffoo. Hope to meet you soon.

No......... best not do that cos they might think it is me again. Best to keep a low profile. See I have a radar detector cos I might speed from time to time and as they are going to ban them I might need to enjoy it while I can. :innocent:

Mr plod has been out tonight. Things are underway. It is not the man on the ground I have the problem with but the system. Cheers fellow HBer.:yes:

Unfortunately being close to town and with the way the food prices are, I reckon this is going to be a common occurance. Just make sure your family is kept safe. The bastards that are around these days have no qualms about carrying weapons and you can't be around 24/7.

[speights_bud]

Saw a KTM 525EXC twice today, once riding and once parked in town... anyone know who he is?

All you say is true. I have experienced that very thing in the past.
Anyway back on track. This is a bike forum after all.

[Grub]

Look I know I'm from Welly and don't have a special pass to enter here but I kinda need some HB help.

I'm looking for a lift from Manfield back to the Bay on the Sunday after the Nationals. Pillion/van/cage, I don't mind. That'd be Sunday fortnight the 24th Feb. I have a car to pick up in Taradale and bring back to Welly.

It's most likely that people who are not racers will make a decision to go to Manfield based on the day's weather but I sort of need to know in advance. Because if I can't do it this way, I'll need to go up on the bus before that weekend to be sure I can get the car back here for when our friends fly in from the UK on the 25th.

I'm offering hugs from Colapop as a reward :innocent:

[Maffoo]

hey HB guys

cant help ya grub ....

BUT

does this seem like a good tyre/price for my bike?
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Parts-accessories/Wheels-tyres-brakes/auction-137756201.htm

[MSTRS]

Perhaps. You need to see whether a 110 will fit within your swingarm. Bear in mind also that your rim will need to use a tube.

[Maffoo]

mstrs you gonna be home about 12.30ish today?

[MSTRS]

I'd say so...

[Maffoo]

kewl, ill drop by , show ya my new gears

You need to make sure it will fit the rim and bike. As MSTRS said. Search the net for that info.
The BT 45 is a very very good tyre on a road bike. Good in the wet and very good in the dry.
Check the price at your local bike shop.

That's my 2cnts worth for the day.

Yes, we did. You didn't wait for us. Would have come up to the house but time was getting on and I had to do some work :shit:

[MSTRS]

Been thinking about this, and YT & I have decided to go up in the cage. Mrs Wasp has expressed an interest in coming with us, but we still have room for 2 more. Any takers? We are gonna leave early-ish on the Sunday, and come straight home after.

[DeltaBravo]

Sounds like eveyone fit & well, stopped by at BP over Christmas/New Year but no one turned up. Will try again soon when work permits. The Viffer now completed 10Km and just had new Metzeler fitted to rear. Having trouble finding someone to balance the tyre. Single side rear the problem, Dukes, BMW's & some Triumphs have same. Anyone got ideas re balancing or Palmy the only option.
Cheers

I fit my own rubber so get the Rim balanced with no tyre on it. Then just fit the new rubber. Making sure the red dots on the tyres go to the valve. If they have a red dot. If not they are balanced. So that an option and get the local shop to fit the rubber to your balanced rim. Works for me.

Don't think many people are ridding as a group at the moment. Seems we are all snowed under with work. But the fuel cost is impacting along with the all other costs for me.

[Dooly]

Well I was keen to ride, but everytime I asked if anyone was up for a ride, no one ever replied, so can't be bothered asking now.
Went past the BP a few times on Sats, no one never there on the day, so I've given up.
Seems HB KB has kinda fizzled out in regards to just going for rides.

Have'nt ridden for 3 weeks, might go on the Palmy ride on Weds, work/chores permitting just to get a good ride in.

We really should pull finger and sort out a ride. Has been a while. :crazy: We should welcome our newest member to the Bay. Can we arrange a ride next Saturday? Wairoa for lunch or somethin? :cool: All the K/b members from here? That would be a good.

Sorry about the name spelling but it is Sunday and all. We have a few that are not on K/B that are friends of other riders that might like to come along.

Come on who's in???????

Not many of the H/D riders bother to wave in Hawkes Bay. :Pokey: We had a H/D rider for a while but he has seen the light and never rides the tractor now. Go the SV :banana:

[yungatart]

Its a shame how we are all so busy, or too poor, for our rides together. We have turned up a few times and it has turned into a family ride, cos there has only been us. Had some great rides tho.

Yep. Infact i want to do for a ride right now but i am still in whakatane and my bike is in napier :(

[MSTRS]

We really should pull finger and sort out a ride. Has been a while..... Can we arrange a ride next Saturday? Wairoa for lunch or somethin?

Sounds like a great idea. W/e weather has been a bit off too, lately. After fine sunny days all week, then Saturday comes, with overcast and hints of rain to come (that doesn't)...Perhaps next Sat 9 Feb will be gorgeous, but not too hot. The tarmelt has been at it again on the Wairoa road.

[Dooly]

The Triumph HB group I am with have a monthly ride which is next Sunday. They meet at Breakers Napier at 9.30 for a brew etc and leave 10ish. Think this time its a north ride, so prob Wairoa?
It is open to all makes of bikes and the guys are all good, and the pace is your own pace, but its not nana pace, as its modern Triumphs.
Maybe some of you want to come on that if Saturday is out?

[Cruisin' Craig]

Its a shame how we are all so busy, or too poor, for our rides together. We have turned up a few times and it has turned into a family ride, cos there has only been us. Had some great rides tho.
I'm in for next weekend....any one else?

Welcome to the Bay McDuck

I'm free on Saturday. Sounds good.

[Maffoo]

i will probably have to give it a miss
im working nights ... 12 hrs at a time :(

[Gixxer 4 ever]

:woohoo:. What a ride. Went to Wairoa for a ride today. To scrub in the front tyre you understand. Been a long time since I have done a ride like that. I think I remember why we ride.

I :love: da gixxer

Not much left of the R1 rubber now Rob. Time to try the Pilot road2. I am a bit unsure about it as it feels like a hard compound. I will let you know how it works in a few weeks.

Did I mention I :love: da Gixxer

[hXc]

Tell Marty boy happy birthday for tomorrow from me, Steve. Hope he has a wicked day.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I see you MR Wasp27. :gob: Lurking in the back ground. Reading but not posting. :dodge:

Sure will HXC. So the trip to the city was good then?

Ummm Marty said thanks and back at ya. Yours tomorrow?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I just had a look at your profile picture. That looks like a real deal 85. What a gem to have. Must catch up so I can drool on your bike. You gota love em and there are very few 85 models left. Most of them have 86 bits but that looks mint. Well done that man. :cool:

[hXc]

Ummm Marty said thanks and back at ya. Yours tomorrow?T'was good indeed. All was good.

And yes, you would be correct in saying that my hatching day is tomorrow.

I like the sound of this. Should we try and do both?

So you make sure Mum and Dad give you heaps of stuff and shower you with big gifts that make lots of loud sounds that make you buzz along at great speed. :innocent:

Well thanking you most kindly!

Truth be told, digital cameras are wonderful at hiding imperfections, of which my bike has many.
However to give my bike credit where it's due, with a little investment in time and money, it is slowly getting closer to being the gem you describe.

Your bike also looks fantastic (the more gixxer riders the better as far as I'm concerned ;)), and I look forward to meeting more of the Hawke's Bay crew.

[Stickchick]

Happy Birthday Zac and Martin. Hope you both have a great day and enjoy yourselves.

[DeltaBravo]

Thanks for the reply Gixxer, seems alot of mis information re balancing etc,
but like your idea.
Cheers

[DeltaBravo]

I like the T shirt are you going to put them in production.

[MSTRS]

Nah mate. But if you have an idea you want for you, you know where to come....

[Maha]

<tfybutuytbu>

Love it John....primo mate...on the back would be the only request, but otherwise that is exactly what i thought it would look like...:niceone:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

He's ok but a bit misguided. one day he will have a Gixxer and he will be happy. You could get one before him G. When the money is saved you will be a free man to make the choice. :woohoo: :shutup:

[Dooly]

Anyone want to ride with me down to Dannevirke and meet, for the big ride tommorrow with the Palmy/Well crew back up this way?

[MSTRS]

I'm waiting to see what the weather does, and a visitor we are expecting.
