Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[Zukin]

Ok

Maybe edit your address out and send it to me via PM and your cell number
Where in Palmy do you have to go, add that to the PM

Cheers

[MSTRS]

Oh and I ride a BMW :bleh:
Some people dont like em, but I do ride it like a nana (most of the time aye MSTRS :msn-wink:)



To be fair I did have a pillion...but you are right. I have noticed that you have 2 throttle settings...:niceone:

[yungatart]

I would be wary of putting your home address on the internet guys.
It is also IMHO, really silly to quote a post with an addy it, because even if the OP deletes his address it is still there for all to see.
Donald, get rid of your (mis) quote too, eh?
We don't have the Mods butting in to our thread, because we are all reasonable adults...if you can't be reasonable and mature, find another play house....

Anyone going for a Saturday PM ride


Weather is looking good, so perhaps we will just have to, eh?

So.... where ya goin'?
If I can get my shit together I might come along for a pootle.

[MSTRS]

I reckon a real tour might be in order...a sort of practice run for the Anzac bash.
We may have a new guy too...just moved here from Tokoroa and can't find our 'legendary' roads by himself on his R6.

BP Tardale Road Leaving at 01.30pm

Thanks R-Dog, if i'm not there don't wait, I think you guy's waited last time. I can always go see mates so if I miss out on the ride it's no biggy, plan on doing that after anyway if time allows. Freakin' Awesome day for it.:niceone:

[yungatart]

We hardly ever leave at 1.30 anyway...usually its 10 minutes or so later.

[Dooly]

Did you run out of gas John?

Saw you wave by Warwick's house in your car, but only clicked it was you after you went past, then remembering Janet was enjoying the sun at Whirinaki, thought.....;)

[MSTRS]

Did you run out of gas John?


No...yes....sort of....bloody Kawasakis with back-to-front fuel taps....ooopss:whistle:

[yungatart]

Did you run out of gas John?

John only has fuel issues in other people's bikes or when he is responsible for filling someone else's bike.
Don't you remember poor Zac being stranded on the Napier -Taupo Rd with fuel issues?
And, yes, the sun at Whirinaki Beach was glorious....I love the beach..it speaks to my soul.
I really enjoyed my rdie today. And the company was superb :whistle: Pity I couldn't keep up with you guys. But at least I was ahead of John, eh? and Dooly? Yeah, I beat them both!!! Not that it was a race or anything...
That Spada is a shit load of fun, will be really sorry to see it go:crybaby::weep:

[Maffoo]

i would like to publicly thank Zukin for his help today !
a nice smooth safe ride, on time & in style :)

thanks again mate
i really appreciate it
i got the ute home safe & sound
& i hope you enjoyed your ride amongst those awesome wind turbines... damn they look cool !

There's a message in there somewhere.........:laugh: seriously though....on the right bike....you rock:niceone:

[Dooly]

Another great day for a ride.

I'm off with the Triumph group today.
The Napier lot are meeting at Breakers at 9.30 as usual, but the rides in CHB so I'm going straight there to Mobil Ypuk meet at 10.30. The Napier lot will leave from Breakers.

If anyone wants to come like some did last month, I'm leaving my place 10am at the latest and heading down HW50 then across to Ypawa.

[Wasp27]

And that Ladies and Gentlemen....was a awesome ride. To have all those Riders (both local and visitors) on that road, in that weather, at that pace...... was sensational. The Duchess and I were in a local Fish & Chip Shop getting our Tea to have down at the beach last light....when an elderly lady sitting next to us said..."I see your living the dream"....after a day like that, and in company like that,... the only reply I could think of was...'Yep, we sure are' ...it's just amazing, the number of people that come up to you and say and things like that.... or the classic one is...'Oh. I wish I'd done something like that when I was younger'......so thanks to all you guys that made that a special day...you all rock, big time :woohoo:

[yungatart]

There's a message in there somewhere.........:laugh: seriously though....on the right bike....you rock:niceone:

I would have loved to be riding that Er6....just stunning!

[robertydog]

Was i really nice day to be riding. 10 Bikes if i remember right. Was a good sight when they were all parked up.

[robertydog]

I would have loved to be riding that Er6....just stunning!

I reckon Dave could of sold that bike about 15 times snice he had it. Everyone comes and looks at and wants it. The worst thing it happens even when hes parked next to the R1.

[NZsarge]

Thanks to you all, I had an awesome day yesterday, seem to learn something new every time I do a decent ride be it about the bike or riding. Good times:niceone:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Work is done for the day.

We had a great day in Hamilton yesterday. :Oi: bring my bike home whippersnapper.

I think I will go for a short ride. Where to I wonder? What you lot doing after lunch? :chase:

[BUBBLE]

BP Tardale Road Leaving at 01.30pm

Is the ride saturday or sunday?

[NZsarge]

Is the ride saturday or sunday?

Sorry mate, that was yesterday.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Ummm Who would like to have a Muffin run next Sunday?
Mary Mooo has it in her diary and was planning on making a few dozen for a group ride. Ride and then back here for a few Muffins. Sunday would be good for us. What you recon?
Caramel easter eggs in Muffins are nice

[yungatart]

Yummy!!!!
I'm in!
Muffins with Easter Eggs...divine mmmmmmm.

[Grub]

Ummm Who would like to have a Muffin run next Sunday?

If it was on Saturday the Loop riders will be there about 1:15 ... but then we're from Welly so we'd prolly not be invited because "we're way too far up ourselves" :first:

Quite possible.
Might even throw the dragon on the back for a ride too.
Just might be picking the grapes tho, and that will kill the weekend, don't know yet till later in the week.

[Dooly]

we will come after you come to mikes birthday party on saturday nite

Hey, did you hear me toot today?:Pokey:

Had a first time experience today.
Hurled in me freakin helmet!

A few of us went on a blast on our Triumphs, down CHB, Takapau, Wimbledon, and other places I'd never been too, culminating in lunch at the Porangahau pub.
Awesome ride.
Nice friendly pub too.
Had a feed of fish, I was the only one with that.
They must of dragged an old seagull off the beach and cooked it up as by the time we saddled up I was feeling crook.
Felt real queasy on the ride to Ypuk, could'nt keep up the pace they were doing as I found myself losing concentration and dry heaving. Was getting a bit disorientated.......then all of a sudden I had to stop real fast.

Almost got the helmet off in time......:doctor::(

Oh well chalk that one up as another first!:apint:

[hXc]

Dooly, bet that smells real good!

Complain to the food place. Do you still feel sick, or was it just not a nice meal? It could be food poisoning, and in that case, you are entitled to complain to them. I would.

Felt fine 10 seconds after it hit the deck.
Must remember, no fish next time!

[hXc]

Strange...Fish can be a fairly dangerous food to work with.
But not always. Shellfish is extremely dangerous.
Most fish you can eat raw, completely raw, but half cooked will make you ill.

Glad I don't eat the shit. I just gotta make sure the people that do don't end up sick.

[yungatart]

hXc is right Dooly. You must complain...we expect food places to serve food that is fit for consumption. Could be any number of things wrong that caused it, and they can't fix it if they don't know about it.
Have you been sick since?

[Dooly]

hXc is right Dooly. You must complain...we expect food places to serve food that is fit for consumption. Could be any number of things wrong that caused it, and they can't fix it if they don't know about it.
Have you been sick since?

No been fine since, straight after I dumped it.
Could also be the fat as it was quite greasy, and I can't tolerate real greasy stuff nowdays.
I eat a lot of fish and it did'nt smell funny or off, so just one of those things.
The pub looked clean and the dining area was professional and tidy.
I'd go back again.

The good thing was that I told the guys as we left that I felt crook and if I stopped, carry on as I'd be hurling, but they waited..........a distance away, I might add.:clap:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

. but then we're from Welly so we'd prolly not be invited because "we're way too far up ourselves" :first:

I hope this was suppose to be full of smiley faces………

If you are in the bay on Sunday you are all welcome. Just give us an idea of numbers so Mary can cook the amount of food required. We are on the Napier Wairoa rd.
I was planning a mystery ride but if we can work in with you then let me know.

Due to our work load and many commitments, including hosting the Hawkes Bay round on the 4x4 National champs on the farm over Easter, we are unable to ride with you on Saturday.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Quite possible.

:eek: Bugger da grapes and bring the dragon. :bleh:

[DingoZ]

Aye the foodie that is Grub, knows the places to eat at. As this will be my first time to Napier, we are leaving the choice up to Grub. He tells me that the places at the waterfront marina have fantastic tucker, so I am looking forward to a nice lunch.

We won't be hard to spot, so most welcome to join us for a feed, on Saturday.......:)

[Grub]

What place r u dining at?

Well I don't really know. Not being very goo with eateries in the area, I stuck with what I know ... which is the grey (old wool?) sheds along the marina opposite the Yacht Club I think it is.

I know how to get there, they do good food n coffee and is just a short divert off the Bayview road. Did I do ok?

[Grub]

Yeah Right....we all know about your luck with tires.....best ya save the tread and keep it off da trailer:laugh:

True!!! Ok, we'll just leave our used New World 4cents off slips for ya :)

[Wasp27]

You are referring to (one of) Speights Alehouse, Shed 2, Thirsty Whale, Gintrap or Hepsetmooch. All in a row, just where you describe. All worth a crack.

[Hitcher]

All worth a crack.

Indeed. The Hitchers are yet to develop a favourite from that list, althought I currently have the Thrusty Whale ahead by a whisker.

[hXc]

Hep Set Mooch are rubbish. Nice food, average coffee, but they treat the staff like shit, and I know I wouldn't go there.
I'll try and get work off for the arvo and join you all for lunch.

[McDuck]

wot happening?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

wot happening?

Da Muffin run is on. We will gather at the BP Taradale Rd at 1.30 on Sunday 16th. Will leave at 1.35 for a group ride. Yep a group ride. We have not done one of them for a while. Ride rules are as follows,

Lead rider ( wasp27 ) knows the rout and will lead.
I am the Tailend Charily and will stay at the back.
The rider who finds themselves 2nd in line will stop at the intersections and show the rest of us where Wasp27 went.
They will stay at that point till I have gone past.
Then you are to pass me and let me stay at the back.
Simple aye.

Yes a slow ride this time and please bring as many bike riders as possible. I will call Moo before we leave da BP and let her know how many riders we have and she can get the baking done and the coffee and tea made.

She is getting the Easter eggs for da Muffins as I type. Mmmmmmmmm

Also we are hosting the Hawkes Bay round of the 4X4 national champs her on the farm over Easter weekend. I will post more details later but from what I have seen there is plenty of advertising for this event around town. Hope some of you can make it.

[yungatart]

We'll be there for the muffin run Steve.
I have sent you a PM re Easter...

[McDuck]

I am in and will see if i can find a few more guys. (will big Honda cruisers be shunned?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I am in and will see if i can find a few more guys. (will big Honda cruisers be shunned?

If it is a bike it is welcome. However it will be a slow ride so all riders can keep up. More bikes the better but it would be good to give me some idea by Saturday night so Mooo can plan as these Muffins need to be hot from the oven.

So far we have Tart,MSTRS,HXC?,Wasp27,Mrs Wasp,Gixxer 4 ever,Cello_duck and???? Should be fun.

[hXc]

I'll ring work tomorrow and see about the muffin run, will do what I can.

[Stickchick]

:crybaby::crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:

No fair!!!! A muffin run and I'm not there!!!! :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:

I'm just gonna sulk in the corner of my little world up here....Wonder if Mom makes nice muffins? Might have to make a ride to visit this weekend:devil2:

However, not long to go before I do head down. YAHOOOOO:banana:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

If Rob arrives back shortly before i do can i still have muffins??:innocent:

You will note I am on this ride so you may not have a bike Whippersnapper.

And if you achieve that NO you can’t. I had a feeling Rob was a bad influence on you. You did stick to the 100 kmh speed limit last weekend when you took your brother out for a ride with the HB group? :confused:

He dropped Martin off with Jo before he went on the ride, and due to an unforeseen hold-up with my brakes, I didn't get to keep a fatherly eye on him.
The bike did sound gorgeous coming down to the hairpin under WhitePineBush tho :niceone: while I sat by the waterfall carpark trying to figure out how I used so much gas....

[Zukin]

Hi there

Really off topic, but I thought I would ask here first :2thumbsup

Does anyone know anyone that is fund-raising with dry firewood?
I would like to buy some and would rather support a club/charity if I can first

Call or PM me if you can help

Cheers Scott

(will also consider anyone you know that is selling it that may not be fund-raising)

Thanks for keeping an eye on him MSTRS. They need our guidance. Da bike has a nice tone. I like to listen to it from time to time.
Hope you have that brake thing sorted. Can a Zuki shop re fit new clips and rivet things or is it the end of them? They have not done many K’s.
Hope to see you for the muffin run. Been a while. Don’t drink too much with Mike on Saturday night 

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Whoowhoooo just come back from a ride with Wasp27. I know it is way past my bed time but what a night for a ride. :clap: Sorry Speights_Bud I tried to leave the flat quietly but W took off :spanking: and I was scared :baby: I would get lost and I had to chase him. :sweatdrop

Nice cuppa by the way Jo. Whooo whooo what a ride.

Aye chicky we will save some muffins for you....Rob might not be allowed any so we will save his for you.

[Dooly]

Been riding down HW50 last 2 nights. Checking all's ok with the new acquisition.
Never realised how fast and how much fun inline 4 600s can be!
Gave it the speed test down the Tiko straight last night...:2thumbsup

[MSTRS]

Hope you have that brake thing sorted. Yep. "E" clips replaced with new ones...should have done that first time round.
Warning - do not reuse E clips.

The speedo was in mph, only figured out how to change it back to kphs when playing after getting back....

Said 151 mph.........gues thats about 250? Wind was a bit blustery so wound down after that.

Just like to point out that the speed test was of course done in controlled circumstances......... :wacko:

[Wasp27]

Whoowhoooo just come back from a ride with Wasp27. I know it is way past my bed time but what a night for a ride. :clap: Sorry Speights_Bud I tried to leave the flat quietly but W took off :spanking: and I was scared :baby: I would get lost and I had to chase him. :sweatdrop

Nice cuppa by the way Jo. Whooo whooo what a ride.

Hey guys, you know the Herceptin ride that's just done the country ending at Parliament on Wednesday? That's the one Nasty did (clever girl)

Well Maxine the organiser (and hubby Kerry) bought their own HiLux Diesel along as support vehicle towing a heavy enclosed bike trailer. After 2,000km the head gasket shat itself in Napier and the vehicle is still there, they live in Nelson and had to go home on their non-refundable ferry tickets on Thursday.

I'm not sure what I can do except offer them a bed and a pillion for her husband Kerry up to the Bay on Saturday. Anyone have any ideas that might help them? Somebody mentioned a roadside head-gasket service that exists but I can't find any reference to it. Know of anything like that in the Bay?

Here's the story http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1472295&postcount=67

Whatever, I hope we can see some of you on the waterfront after 1:15 Saturday when we stop for lunch on the Great NI Loop Ride

[yungatart]

I can't help, Grub, but good luck to them.
I'm sure someone will be able to.

[Dooly]

I have'nt heard of a roadside head gasket service, and I can't imagine it being viable in his circumstance.
If a head gasket has supposedly blown in a Hilux diesel, you can bet for sure the head is cracked or bent and will need machine shop work or a new cylinder head. Plus all the other related expenses. Its no small job either.
Sure one could throw a head gasket on, but it wont last and in this day and age of guarranteeing workmanship, its not viable to do on a diesel.
The cost of such a job is quite high, and the Hilux diesels frequently have this problem.
We probably do one a month on these. Plus my own Hilux did the same thing!

As said in the link by Grub, the only real thing is too get it to Wellington for him, but then theres always a cost.
I know the manager of vehicle salvage firm here in Hastings well, and we frequently do 'deals' for each other as they are just down the road from us.
But the 'deals' are only local work.
I can ask him if he could cut a good price if I know the details etc to transport it.

[MSTRS]

I just talked to a mechanic mate....he does diesels and can fix it. He does say if it is the head gasket that the head is quite possibly toast $Kaching$. If his services are reqd, let me know.

Did a job on a Surf last week, same problem, needed a new head, plus gaskets, head bolts, machine shop work, radiator clean etc etc etc etc etc........$2400.

[Grub]

You guys rock ... thanks for the heads-up, it sounds like lotsa munny - cruel isn't it, especially when they did so much good selfishly. I have been told by PM that someone is trying to organise to help get it to Welly - they'd just rather keep it offline at the moment so I'll keep you all posted.


If a head gasket has supposedly blown in a Hilux diesel, you can bet for sure the head is cracked or bent and will need machine shop work or a new cylinder head. .

Yeah kind of makes sense doesn't it, they blew a couple of radiator hoses, one in Otorohanga on the morning of day 2 and the other in Auckland on day 3 so either the overheating has caused the head to warp or the blown gasket was pressurising the system causing the hoses to go. Either way, sounds expensive.

Hope to see some of you at least at lunch tomorrow :hug:

[Grub]

A couple of HB Good Samaritans who wish to remain anon are towing the ute to Welly tomorrow so that Kerry can get it onto the ferry.

Brilliant stuff team. I'd buy you a :apint: at lunch but you'll be in Welly!

Okay people. The Great Lower North Island Loop Ride, is heading your way tommorrow.

Hopefully see some of you HB riders tommorrow....:)

Anyone else keen to meet up with the guys from down the line.
They should be here for lunch about 1.15. We could meet at the normal time and place, ride down to the Waterfront to meet them and talk shite, then head up the Taupo Rd to escort them off the premises...

[Dooly]

Can't make that time Janet.
Taking the boy out for a ride this arvo, getting seat time for him, but wont leave here till after 1.
We'll be pootling down Tiko wayish and probably land at the Patangata 2ish or later and then head somewhere else, if anyone's out that way and wants to meet or whatever.

[Nasty]

The guys are tracking well for time ... running about 15 mins late ... so should be there for 1.30.

Cheers Nasty

You can use it anytime. Its about finding somewhere to mount it so that it dosnt vibrate to much. The camera is a waterproof camera. So the mic is covered and you tend to hear a muffled noise of the bike.

Used plastic electrical ties and tied it on top of the radar detector. Didnt know how it would go. Wasnt too bad.

holy crap. Splashing out batman.

Actually worked really well. thinking about putting more rubber mounts under mine but I have a feeling it will make it worse

[Gixxer 4 ever]

:eek: While out moving steers this morning I realised I have made a mistake. :whistle: I need to correct my mistake. :Police:

The 4x4 rally is on Saturday not Sunday.

My mistake and yes I should have known that as we are hosting it :wacko: but I have little to do with the event other than provide the land. We had it in the diary as Sunday and have had it in there for months. Never mind it is on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a gate charge but it should be a great day out.

We riding on Monday?

To assume is to make an ass of us both. I assumed as Sunday is the norm for the 4x4 club events we go to.

[NZsarge]

holy crap. Splashing out batman.

Actually worked really well. thinking about putting more rubber mounts under mine but I have a feeling it will make it worse

Maybe a semi-dense foam rather than rubber and tie it down moderately tight with zip ties like R-dog did. I agree, reckon it turned out pretty well.

We riding on Monday?

We might ride every day, Steve...might get out to the 4 x 4 rally...will be in touch.

[Grub]

Finally got to the puter to debrief on our weekend ride. Why is it that work always gets in the way of fun?

I just want to express my personal appreciation of you guys all waiting around patiently for us on Saturday. I stuffed up the timing because of fuel stops and we needed extra ones because the Virago only has a 200km range.

We were 45mins late and had no expectation of you being patient enough to hang around for that long. I'm glad you did, lunch and company at the Thirsty Whale was great, especially when Yungatart mentioned a birthday which reminded me it was my sister's and I hadn't rung her :o

The ride was awesome as always, what a nice playground to have at your back door! I just love that run to Tarawera because it is mostly open and flowing, unlike the Takas. Meeting you guys was a highlight of the day and vindicates our decision to go to Taupo via the Bay. We are definatley going to do that again! (on time of course)

Had a good ride to Palmy today.

As usual Anza was full with bikers, that place must sure turn over the cash.
They had a few new Goldwings in stock, man those things are massive, and the stuff on them!
I thought riding a Triumph Rocket this week was quite a mission due to its size, but one of those Goldwings with every extra must be a real act.
They had a new compressor there, just a Dyna, but a screaming eagle one, 53000 godanged bucks!!!!

Plenty of bacon around today, especially a mufti Honda Accord, about 3 yrs old, gold/silver colour. Pulling up people on our way there and back. Fortunately we got the headlight flash warning on the return trip, so none of our cash went into Aunty Helen's going into opposition party fund. A few marked cars too.

Called into the Cudby's for a brew on the way home, nice SV, neat stubby muffler too.

Had a good ride to Palmy today.

As usual Anza was full with bikers, that place must sure turn over the cash.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Hope to team up with Speights_Bud and Wasp at 7 in Bay View and give the little GPX a run to Wairoa. So best I get ready. Have a good one people. Looks like another nice day in paradise…………… He said :rolleyes: looking out in to the dark night. Hahahahaha Morning W

Hi Tart. We did thank you. The trip up was slowish cos we had to see how the GPX was going to run. It seems to be good so we picked the pace up a bit on the way home. It ran well.
Had wet roads most of the way up but no rain. Stopped at 286 for breaky. That was good and then meet Mrs Wasp on the way home. All in all it was a great ride.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Had a PM from whytey.
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/memberlist.php?do=getall

Lives in Bay View. Wants to get some riding going. :wari: If you plan a ride today can you please PM him this link and the details. I have replied and pointed him to this thread but a personal approach would be good. :2thumbsup

I am suppose to be driving a 4x4 in the Hawkes Bay play day but I am not sure what I am going to do yet. Got the grand child here and well you know. :rolleyes: Will see how the day goes. Everyone is asleep. Half the day has gone FFS. :spanking: I will be back to see what is on. Cheers Steve

Aye Whytey. If you read this post here and P/M your contact details to Yungatart, she will give you the info you need to join the ride today. But all you need to know will be posted up here. If a ride is planned for today.

[Colapop]

A HUGE thanks to you guys up there. Not only for the hospitality ("Hey I'm coming up see you in 3 hours for a bed...") but for the biker spirit.

MSTRS, YT, HxC and Aleisha :love: thank-you for providing a bed, food, alcohol (keep up Zac), workshop, advice and friendship - you guys rock!! John - you get a huge one mate. Helping me get the bike sorted was outstanding! Good ride that to TGA too.

Wasp27 - How the hell am I supposed to say thank-you enough???
Me: "I've got a sump plug problem"
Wasp27: "Bring it to me and I'll fix it"
No drama just getting things done that need to be done. Not just the right tools for the job but the skills and genial attitude too.
G4E you get a mention too - even though you're not a huggy kinda guy, you always let me grapple with ya - much love big guy.

Every time I've been up there, it feels like you guys are family. It makes a huge difference knowing there are people like you that I respect and can rely on. HB crew ROCK!!

Look forward to meeting you. Anyone else coming??

Always good to see you Col, although having you leap on our bed at sparrow fart like some overgrown demented 4 y/o , we could do without!
Don't forget thet your bike has a maintenance schedule...and you need to stick to it!:spanking:

[Dooly]

Am kinda keen for a ride but, 10.30 is a bit early for me, got some things to do around the place, and can't forsee getting out till maybe 1ish, and then might head off HW50, possibly thru to Patangata, dunno......kinda open at this time....

Oooops 10.30. That’s now………….. So I will not make that one.

Might just wing it I think

[McDuck]

Go you will make it (they are waiting for me)

[Whytey]

That will teach me for being new at this . lesson learnt , check the bloody computer earlier . DUH

[yungatart]

What a bugger you guys missed, we didn't end up leaving till after 11 because Jon forgot to put his new rego sticker on, so had to go back home and get it. We would have waited for you if you had sent me a text.....
Went down 50 as far as Tiko, a lovely ride, hardly any traffic, then cut through to Waipawa, and off to Patangata, where we ate and drank and talked shite....then headed home up Middle Rd. Heaps of bikes at the Patangata.
Fantastic weather, awesome roads and great company. Aye, its a hard life!

[James Deuce]

You took the Katana didn't you? Please say you did.

Must of missed you, as I got the urge to take the 600 out for a rather spirited blast. Left here at 11, down to Tiko, across to Ypawa, up Te Onepu Rd, back home on HW50, changed, jumped in the ute, took the missus to the Chook & filly for lunch all by 12.

[yungatart]

You took the Katana didn't you? Please say you did.

Nah I didn't Jim. I woosed out..it is slightly wider and taller than the Ninja and I'm so afraid I'll drop it... took the Mighty Spada, I am having so much fun riding Zac's bike, it is building confidence in leaps and bounds and much more fun than a weasel down your trousers:whistle:

You wouldn't have wanted to come with us then, I'm a tad slow for you.....it was mostly pootling speeds with the odd fang thrown in, on closed roads of course:innocent:

[Dooly]

on closed roads of course:innocent:

...its always on closed roads and under controlled conditions.

[yungatart]

Of course. We never break the rules around here. I wouldn't allow that!:nono:

[Grumpy]

Got a chance to get the bike out for a blast yesterday morning so went for a brisk ride up to Puketiritiri. ( Sorry 'bout the spelling ) Very enjoyable ride. When the Bay turns on the weather it sure turns on the weather eh. Finally got a chance to give the new Avon Storms a good test and am pleased to say they certainly seemed up to the job. What an awesome road.

Seems I have a bit of help with the pre ride safety checks these days........

Wont be long now eh? Might be an idea to start shopping for her bike now. Do you think a B King is a bit much to start with? :shifty: I don't mind running it for her......

[yungatart]

Shouldn't be a problem! She has biker blood in her veins, doesn't she?

[yungatart]

Won't be joining you guys this w/e. We are off to Taupo. Ride safe.
See you next week.

Pumped ok most of today. I note the heat sink is very hot. I recon the bearings in the pump are a bit suspect. I will leave it till Monday and pull it to bits. Sick of the bloody thing. Matt got all the digger work done by tonight. I need to check the pump in the morning/lunch time to see if the controler is working but I recon a ride might be on.

2000.. Shit I better get a life :crybaby:

No I was out :niceone:

So no bike, what is she doing with your bike, doesnt she have her own toys to play with :bleh:

[hXc]

Oh bugger. That's a shame, it sounded gorgeous roaring past yours.

She's taken it to Taupo for the weekend. I'd take her bike, or the Katana 400 but I've got a few other things to do around the place (WOF for the car etc). Sorry guys, have a wicked ride though.

[McDuck]

Well i dont think i will be there, stuff to do.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Sorry we didn’t make it today. Did some test work with W on the SV shocks this morning and then back to work and stuff. :Pokey:

Did see MSTRS TART and Team Cudby go passed on there way to Taupo. :rolleyes: Hope you had a good trip you guys.:chase:

We are off to Hamilton to pick up a car tomorrow so we are out for rides here tomorrow. But I recon the ride to Hamilton will be choice. :devil2:

Have a good day you all.

[Dooly]

Had a great ride today.
2 of us did the Matapiro/Sherenden/Taihape Rd loop, then thru Puketapu/Clive/Havelock, then Kahuraniki rd to Patangata for a cold one.
About a dozen bikes there.
A lot of resealing between Elsthorpe & Patangata, took it easy but nearly got caught out by loose chip on a few corners and had to stand it up once.
And no signs indicating loose chip!

Might even hit the road on Sunday, missus is away all day, gotta do something.....

[backinthesaddle]

Hi Dooly. Back on a bike after many long years without. Even the missus enjoys it on the back. New to this site & trying to hook up with some Hawkes Bay bikers for rides in the weekends (or Whenever) when I/we can make it. If anyones interested let us know. Haven't been up here many years so keen to learn new rides about the place.
Watching this space!

Gidday.
We all usually try and go for a ride every Saturday but recently everyone seems out of sync due to other activities or whatever, so some of us tend to ride with a few of the group or others. Usually if anyone here is going for a ride they'll post up when, where etc.
Myself, if it looks like no one is going to be at our usual meeting place, I wont bother going over to Napier as I'm 40kms away, so I'll head off my wayish.
But keep an eye here, you'll hook up ok with us I'm sure.

[DeltaBravo]

Needed a long ride on Saturday, left early with Johnno, to Patangata via Main Rd & Te Aute Trust Rd, Ypuk up Poronghau Rd then via Blackhead Rd stopped at Pub for pit stop, then Wimbleton via Weber to Dannevirke, HW 50 to home.
Road from Wimbleton to Dannevirke was a blast. Just watch for sheep, cattle & sheepdogs though. 304 Km round trip.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Whooo whoooo. Now that’s a ride. Left Bay view at 7am and had near on no traffic till we got to Cambridge. Unbelievable. One cop in Taupo other than that the X 50 was quiet on the way up. It was just premo. Great trip home but the 100 K was hard as I followed Moo in her car. But with a few diversions here and there it turned out well.

Nice to see MSTRS, Tart and Team Cudby coming home as I came back from W’s. Did ya have a good day at the track?


Welcom to K/B Backinthesaddle. :2thumbsup What Dooly said is how it is at the moment but we will get back to riding as a group soon. Just look here each day and see what on. Might have to make an effort to get the group out as a group.

Back in the Gixxer mist.

Oh, is Wasp27 going to tell people what he did yesterday? You rode what W? and did you like it? :cool:

[robertydog]

Thats a heads up for ANZAC day. There is a trackday at Taupo.
