Just for BigG

[Zukin]

Hey all

I have just had my navigator bail on me for this weekends car race in Rotorua (Targa Rally)
So I thought I would ask here to see if anyone is interested

No experience or race licence necessary
We need to leave HB on Friday afternoon and will be returning on Sunday night

You will need to be able to read maps :niceone:
Accommodation will be provided, you will just need some money for food etc

So if you have always wanted to see what the Targa is all about and to travel on closed roads then drop me a line

Cheers

[robertydog]

Well guys i will soon be back on two wheels for commuting but nothing above about 70kph (dew to financial reasons i will be using jeans and old helmet for a few weeks, i am 100% confidant it didn't hit the ground and has not sustained meaningful damage) as i save up for decent riding gear and a new helmet.

I have the new indicator and leavers for the 250 as well as a fork seal kit, now all i need is somebody to repair the side cover by welding (any recommendations people?) then it will simply be a case of putting it back together.

Any recommendations feel free :yes:


(am hoping to have new helmet and decent riding gear for 19 of july, VMCC meet 3 for the year so i can take the 400 over)

Peace out :)

[wickle]

Theys a plastic welding company over Hastings same street as St Johns College( next door) did a good job on a side cover of mine

Peace out :) Yep Shane at Profecional Plastic Welding in Jervoise St is the guy, he knows his stuff, welded most of my plastics and does a A1 job ( it costs a bit though ). There is a plastic welder in Napier that a lot of the Pannel beaters use, got to be in Onekawa, Depends on the plastic it should be ABS.

Nice ride today, fellas.
A bit cold in places, a tad windy in others and then damp in others...
Good to see you back on the road, George. Almost as good as seeing the cops busy...with others, not us!
Tis a heavily patrolled piece of road, for sure!

[yungatart]

I have just got off the phone to the "bustagut" gathering in Turangi. They have decided that they want to head over here tomorrow and ride some of our famed HB roads.
The plan is to meet up at BP Bayview..the quicker guys should probably arrive there about 11.30, refill bikes and head thru to Puketapu for lunch at the pub (they have been forewarned).
Apparently there is 30 or so riders heading our way. We could do with a hand to keep them in line (some of them are Aucklanders...we know how they can't cope out of the concrete jungle...!)
Hope to see some of you at BP Bayview tomorrow...please? We expect that they will all be there by 12.

[Dooly]

Sounds good Janet.
I'm meant to be riding with the Triumph group tommorrow but have some things to do in the morning which may make me miss meeting with them.
If I don't end up going, I'll probably check out BP BV.

yeah some of the aucklanders are a dodgy bunch for sure :D see you guys morrow

[MSTRS]

If any of the Bustagut riders are looking, be careful of ice in the shadowy parts of HW5 today. Twas damp in such places yesterday and today is :cold:

[BigG]

I would be good to be there but Sunday's is out fior me:confused:
It was good to be out yesterday, dont mind the cold when I'm enjoying myself, good to meet up with you guys again but allas another Gixer with us but I have to admit very very nice looking bike seems to go well to, nice one Elvin.
Those burgers were big eh! Steve would have liked them.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Have a good ride fellow H/Bay people. Sorry I can’t join you but got Family here.

Went for a ride to Wairoa this morning. Well that’s not totally true. Nearly to Wairoa. I got the Police com this morning to say the road was closed cos a logging truck had rolled over but figured it would be cleared by 8. Wrong. Anyway left here and fueled up in Bay View about 7.30 ish. Headed off with the sun coming up. Lots of wet bits on that road in the early morning. Lots of sun strike on that road in the early morning. Turkeys, Peacocks, goats and rocks. What a challenge when you throw in one massive frost. The coldest part was Sandy creek. All in all a challenge but never the less with plenty of gear on, a great ride. We were stopped 10km south of Wairoa for the accident. I realised it was not going to open for while so headed for home.

Now I had the sun behind me and no traffic. Most of the wet corners had dried out and I reckoned I had enough fuel to zoom along. Even the air temp had lifted and it was a 10/10 ride home. Still lots of live stock on the road and rocks and things but with no traffic and no ice it was premo. Take plenty of cloths. It is cold out there.

Have a great days riding. Say hi to the visitors………………….. Cheers people.

I have seen and ridden with Elvin’s Gixxer George. It is a nice bike. Makes my old gixxer look ……… well……. Old. ;) Would I have liked the burgers or the bike? Probably both. :clap:

[yungatart]

Definitely both, Steve!
Those burgers were huge, but the boys put paid to them in pretty short order! Dem boyz know how to put away their tucker!

[Gixxer 4 ever]

What a great day. I see our adopted girl rider “Meeky Mouse” has a fantastic write up and pictorial in the fm Riders Magazine. Thanks for the copy, who ever gave it to Mary Mooo on the ride today. Whoo whooo go That girl.

Thanks to the rescue crew today .. the bike made it back & all good .. apart from the rain the rest of them will prob get a good drenching on the way home

oh well next time ... wanted to make sure they got back alright & being the slowest rider I would have only held up the works plus by the time I would have made it to the pub everyone else would have been ready to leave so best choice to enable the others to have their fun ..

hmm mind you it was a spirited ride in the rain on the way back .. but I think Pete was still going slow(ish) :lol:

After being advised of the full distance o "the loop" they decided to do a "Tour of the Bay" and head back over the Taupo Rd...should be in by 6 ish

Yo that was a good little ride yesterday, those burgers were awesome, it's not a real burger until there is beetroot juice and egg yolk dripping off both elbows! and there was, so good call! Shame there was so many cloven hooved tossers out there, and the goldy coloured condomodore was a "surprise" eh John! A small but select group, most enjoyable!

Oh no…:shit:….. that is so unfair. John would be the best behaved of the whole bunch. Bugger. Hope it was not a big one. You must have had a weak moment mate. You usually set a good standard that most of us try and adhere to.

Aye Zukin….. did they do the loop via S/H 1 in the end? Cool. That would have racked up the K’s for the day. :woohoo:

How did the rally go Zukin? :shifty:

No tickee - no washee. I was being good (having a nice man in a Hilux flash me helped) and waiting to clear the grease spill...he was busy making a sale to some unwary sod. It was the gold commode that I didn't see but Alvin picked up on his FuckOffMeter...
At 1pm to be told that they had a long way to go on their planned loop, they decided that they'd be better enjoying some choiuce HB roads and weather, before going back the way they came.

[Ascott]

My bad, it is a gold "campry" not a condomodore, saw his snout out the window at fernhill this very morning was dishing out some filth tax.

[BigG]

Did I miss everybody yesterday, turned up 5 mins late at the BP one of the guys in the station tells me you gone to Wairoa so I say I will catch them up.
Yous must have gone someware else, I saw Alvin comeing back but I asumed hed gone for an earlyier ride so I chased on. Not a sole in site took a look down at the lighthouse and the Cafe but no one home so came thundering back. Was a good ride bit sore on the ol chuff though cos thats the first decent ride since Christmas, lots of wild life and road kills but no bacon missed you lot though.
Ware did you go Alvin

[MSTRS]

We did the ride plan for the helicopter ride so had already used our petrol allowance for the week!
Note to interested parties... I have a flyer from 5 star announcing a fabulous tyre offer...any of the Pilot Series 120/180 $479 fitted

Oh bugger G, when I first got to da servo the guy asked where we were heading to, and I said probably up the Wairoa road cause down south looked a bit breezy. So you can blame Mark....he was the one that suggested we go out to Crownthorpe. It was a bloody nice ride too....the wind eventually came up there as well, but then died down....was very enjoyable. Pity we didnt meet up with you and the others:weep: I suppose the ol Wairoa track's still in good nick eh....most other roads seem to have benefitted from the recent wash down:2thumbsup.....next 2 days look promising according the forecast (tui) till next time...cheers W & D
:psst:....happy anniversary for yesterday.. Leanne & Mark (Grumpy):banana:

[Grumpy]

Cheers Warick. Leanne said letting me loose on the bike for the arvo was my present. It was excellent too. Good roads, good company and good weather. Brilliant.

Sorry George. My bad. Had a hankering for the loop we ended up doing. Sorry we missed you.

[Ascott]

I must have just missed you guys and ess's, had no idea so headed north, caught up to 4 bikes that turned off to seafield road, didn't like to intrude so headed off up Wairoa road, just to the top of the hill and came back, sorry G, didn't recognise you, must have been busy, if I had, would have done a uee!
Next week?

That would have been us. Headed up Seafeild rd then did a loop thru to Puketapu then up Swamp rd then the loop out to Crownthorpe.

[Ascott]

Bother! I saw the last 2 bikes were hondas and the last guy had a sort of fluro green and red helmet, maybe the guy in front of him was delta bravo on the vfr? are there still road works at the end of puketiritiri rd?

Roadworks still there so we hung a right at end then headed down Alenby.

[robertydog]

Well i went to a local bike shop today to purchase. I was looking all over it and asked the salesman a few things about it. As you do. He said do you want to take it for a spin? I said i got no gear. He said we will lend you some. Cool i thought. Then he asked me to leave my wallet and keys as security. I didnt think i looked that bad. Then i had to fill out one of those forms that they require when you take a bike out. Filled it all out and got down to rego number and i said you better put a D Plate on so i can fill out the rest of the form. So off he goes to get the plate and comes back a few minutes later and says "we dont have one at the moment but you will be ok" I said to him "i might get pulled up" He said "na you wont get pulled up" I said "and whos gonna pay the $250.00 ticket"
So the pit bike is still in the shed looking very lonely and petrol still keeps going up and i guess there is always another day.

[speights_bud]

Round two is this Saterday or Sunday? What the heck is CNC code, not a CNC machine for jigging up motorcycle parts is it;)

Could be motorbike parts... one day...

CNC code for a turning centre (CNC Lathe) looks something like this:
(translation in brackets :) )

% (Program start)
:1001 (Program Name)
N010 G21 G96 G99 (N010-Step1 etc, G21-Metric input, G96-Constant surface speed, G99-Feed per revolution)
N020 T0202 M08 (T0202-Tool No2 offset No2, M08-Coolant pump start)
N030 S800 M03 (S800-Spindle 800Rpm, M03-spindle clockwise rotation)
N040 G00 X63 Z5.00 (G00-Tool Rapid, X63/Z5.00-tool rapid moves to these reference points)
N050 G01 Z0.000 F0.20 (G01-traverse/set feed, Z0.000-feed into this point, F0.20- Feed into previous point at 0.20m/min)

Etc...


So yea it looks somethings like that, all that little bit will do is start the spindle and run the tool across the face of a workpiece. the programs are usually hundreds of lines long and not uncommonly thousands.

It actually all makes sense and is pretty basic, just like plotting points on graph paper, but you've just got to tell the CNC what tools to use to get there and how :)

Usually you'd draw up the part to be made in a CAD programme then it would generate the code for you, but the operator/designer still has to be able to read and proof the program before it goes to the machine or else big boo-boo's can happen :sweatdrop

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself G.....I had a ball....even if the ice was 3mm thick on top of my Fuel Tank:cold: on the way down. Funny thing was after we parted company at PakiPaki on the way home the air temp went up approx 5 degrees and as I got into Hastings it didn't feel so bad. Might be a good idea for us to hide under a blanket in the back of the Doohans Van for the next meeting:laugh: Catch ya next time G......cheers W

You will have G. Wasp can have mine. The van only goes 110. :yawn:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

What a day we had at Manfield. The alarm went off at 4.30 and I had to kick myself outa bed and get in to the groove. Get the bacon and eggs on and wake da boys. Looked outside and it was cold. In the van and gone by 5.30am Tooted at Wasp27 who was putting the last of his bike gear on and away we went. Fog and cold were the things we had to contend with. Wasp27 had to stop on the trip down to de Ice himself and the bike. He will post a report on that I am sure.

Arrived at the track and setup for the day. Fueled the bike and sent Speights_Bud out for a few scrub in laps. I was nervous about the bike as it was running lean. Nice power and running well but lean. Speights_Bud came in and was happy. Out again for the qualifying laps. Two slower laps followed by a flier. He looked to be on song, so to speak. Nice lines and a nice riding position. The clock confirmed what I had seen. Pole by 2 seconds.

Time to measure and mix fuel. Check the bike and confer with the Team, Wasp27 and Gary, and see what changes we needed to make. The call went up for the first race so it was a pat on the back for Speights_Bud and away he went. The bike sounded great as he went down pit lane. Around to the grid. The 125s took off and the start was set for the 150s. Lights out and S/B was off. A great start and he maintained the lead. Well done that man. He had problems with the starts in Taupo. The practice he has put in has made all the difference. S/B raced well and had really nice lap times. His riding was even and smooth. What does that relate to Rob? He won the first race by 7 seconds. Very tidy and smooth racing.

We had the bike back in our clutches and had time to look at things. The skill of Wasp27 allowed us to assess the bike and we both agreed it was running really well. Probably too well so we changed a few things and got more fuel in to it. This robbed some power but we heard the second race had been extended to 10 laps. We only had minutes of notice of this change. We had set the bike for 5 laps. More fuel and lift tyre pressures. That was the plan. We got more fuel in that’s all the time we had. S/B was off to the grid. A good start but not as good as the first race. S/B held the lead for half a lap and was over taken by bike number 205. ( Zane Brooks ) S/B chased hard and out braked Zane but just couldn’t take the lead back. He worked on passing for 4 laps and finally Zane put his hand up and pulled off the track. His race was over. S/B continued to race hard for the next 5 laps. He won the race by 14 seconds. He worked hard to get that result. Well done S/B. Well done Zane. That was a great ride you put in. You had us on the edge of pit wall.

So two wins on the day. That gives him first place over all at the moment. It is a long season so we need to continue to work on the bike and support S/B for the rest of the season. The extra 5 laps overheated the rear tyre but well done to Patrick for riding to the conditions. If we had not changed the set-up with the fuel I believe the bike would have cooked it’s self in the 10 laps. Well spotted Wasp27 and for the changes you helped to make. Thanks Warrick and Gary. You guys rock man. Nice to see you at the track BigG. Many thanks to Tart for your support and looking after us in Mooo’s absence. Big up’s to MSTRS and Sweed for working as Marshals. Whoooo whoooo what a great day!
Cheers fellow H/B riders. See you all next weekend at 5 Star for the ride.

This is incredible progress, and I can't help thinking that the prayers/good vibes are working. I guess we'll have our girl back in the Bay soon.
Thank you all, again.

Fantastic news John.......what's that you say....A welcoming home party....hmmmmmmmmmm

We'd love to, but she needs to take it easy for the next 4 -6 months until they have dealt with the other little bleeder....
I'm sure we can do something tho!

[Maffoo]

Yep, that was us. An honour it was, too! Just so sad that we had to do it....

[Stickchick]

It was an honour to part of Scotts farewell yesterday. He was a great man and it was proven by the amount of people that showed.

It was great to catch up you all again, even though the circumstances weren't the best. Dan and I will be returning the not to distant future.

Roberty, looking good on the SV mate.....Time to swtich sides I reckon :Pokey:

[Dooly]

Shame I could'nt get away earlier and bring my bike. Other committments forced that.
Seemed to be the only HB KB there without a bike. Nevermind.
Was gonna say next time.........but let's hope there wont be.

Good to see you make the effort Sticky.
But don't think Rob would like you saying things about him/Suzuki/good/look.......:no::laugh::laugh:

Canarlee/Lee asked me to send his condolences to Carissa/Lani and us all. He never knew about Scott, and has fallen way out of the loop and online things etc.

[hXc]

[Dooly]

Fallen way out? I think you'll find he stepped out, or jumped out. It's not our fault he tossed his toys out the cot and fucked off.

Umm...who said anything about fault?
I really dont give a fuck or am interested in whatever happened between him and whoever, nothing to do with me.

I txt him to see if he'd heard about Scott's accident.
He asked me to pass on his condolences.........I have.

And thats all that should be said I reckon.........

And thats all that should be said I reckon.........You said he has fallen way out...to me that is implying that it's our fault he's lost all contact due to us pushing him away. And that's not what happened at all, just stating that.

[MSTRS]

And thats all that should be said I reckon.........

In an ideal world, he'd be doing it himself. Thanks for passing it on tho.

[Dooly]

Too me he has fallen out, as in, the scene of ours, he never comes on anything now or anyone sees him. Simple. not implying anything, nor taking sides, nor interested.
Gave him the txt out of courtesy.
I never said anything about him being pushed away, nor do I know the circumstances of his reasons.
Last time I saw him about 3 months ago he said nothing about any of us untoward and gave me the impression he was moving on.
I got the feeling there was more to it, but did'nt venture there.

[Dooly]

In an ideal world, he'd be doing it himself. Thanks for passing it on tho.

Yep, indeed.
For what its worth he was shocked and said some kind words about Scott.

But hey...........remember the thing about the messenger and shooting...:lol:

[MSTRS]

I got the feeling there was more to it...

Yep. Was strange tho...he distanced himself from us, and gradually the rest of the HB KBers too. Have had several calls from people looking for him, since ours was the contact number for things like power bill and such. I have to tell these people that I can't help. Is he even still in HB?

[robertydog]

Hes got the same cell phone numbers.

[Dooly]

He asked if I could store his bikes for him when he moved into that motel down Kennedy Rd, prob about 3-4 months ago, dunno, maybe longer...as he had no shed.
Its the motel on the left heading to Napier, they let out the units as flats now.
He had started a job at Goodtime pies I think, doing normal day hours.
He turned up those months ago to get his bikes with a couple of guys who he was riding with, dont know them. But they had all been to Mike Cudbys on the piss, before coming to get the bikes, so they could be known to him.
Have'nt seen or heard from Lee since.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I am speechless. Hard for me to come to this state but I think there was a misunderstanding here today. I am sure if we all read Tony’s first post 4457 you will realise he was only saying that Lee has moved on in life and K/B is not part of what he is doing at the moment. I am sure no intent to offend or other wise was intended.

Maybe some of us are under a bit of stress with things that have happened. Lets think about what is said before replying and I am sure we will realise no harm is meant. We need to stick together to maintain a strong community.

Cheers everyone and thanks for all the support from K/B yesterday on what was a hard and meaningful day for us all.

[MSTRS]

Hear what you are saying Steve. It was nice to get that message via Tony. If Lee has 'moved on' that's fine, but he did start his 'moving away' with an unpleasant inference, which was never resolved.
Zac is a bit tender at the mo, and he had a further serve of bad news today (re his Belgium family who can no longer have him), so I can understand where he was coming from.

I think da young man got it wrong and slowly needs to read the post eh! Zack me boyo, never mind emotions are a bit strung out at the moment but thats cool to.:niceone:

[BigG]

Good to see you Tony anyway, Zack got you posting anyway, hoew did you get on with that Bonnie you were going to look at. A mate of mine was also interested in it could be a good buy.

[Dooly]

Had a look at it mate. Procycles own it, took it back as a trade after the bloke rode it into a bank. The work needed is a doddle for me, and with the boy being a painter should come up ok, as long as the price does'nt go nuts!!!
Think I will put a price on it near the close of auction.
Think I will get one anyway, since the boy is going to supposedly buy the 600, will be good to throw the cook on the back and take lesuirely cruises.
Yikes, a cruiser, what am I thinking! Old age!

You guys will have to wait for me to catch up.

Mind you, still have the Ducati and Speed Triple for those spirited blasts.

[Dooly]

Yup, thats it.
And he was sincere with his condolences.

Got the Busa yet mate?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

No. Got out bid. My heart was not in to getting it with all the other stuff going on. W was right about it being a steal but I have enough work on at the moment. I did leave a bid but it went for a grand more than I put on it. I enjoyed the last bike I rebuilt but with the race bike I have a project so best I stick to that at the moment. Aye SB? Hate to run outa money before the end of the race season. hahahaa

[BigG]

Whare have all the Napier HB Kiwi Bikers gone, it was a lovely warm day for a ride and again no one turns up. Next week Manfeild is any one going down should be a bit better than last time:cold: I only have two more weeks riding them I'm out of action for a while:doctor:

[MSTRS]

Had a few pressing things to do today...but watching weather for tomorrow. Looks promising, so will probably take advantage. There has been some talk of ... Kairakau. What say you BigG?

[Dooly]

Off to Palmy tommorrow for a ride.
By fuck I need to ride!
Been 2 months.
The Duc's at work atm, so have slipped a few short blasts at lunch time this week, but no fun around town not being able to get out of 2nd gear.

The missus's boy brought the TT600 last night off me so we're off for a ride to Palmy.
Think the Triumph lot are coming too, as its the monthly ride date. Leaving my road about 10.30 if anyone wants to come.
Gonna stop at Anza, have a look, who knows, might buy another......:lol:

:( You got the same problem as me? I just had 4 weeks out with my Hernia op now I have to have the wallnut out ( Prostrate ) seems I have cancer in it so best option is have it out.:crybaby: At least I should be able to P___ better. Best of luck with whatever you are having done, keep in touch.

Yikes!!!!
I think that ops not too bad as we get a lot of customers in work that have had that and they all turn out good.
Good luck mate.

I'm having my L hip done, fuckin great at my age its rooted. Result of a car wreck.
Mind you they've had 8 goes at it before so now its a new one. Hopefully no probs will result due to the past attempts, but looks like at least 3 months off the bike at least, godang it.

[MSTRS]

Feel for you both, esp you Tony...8x gotta suck.

[NZsarge]

Weather is looking good down this way Dooly.

[Dooly]

Weather is looking good down this way Dooly.

Saw you mate, could'nt miss ya, standing at the BP Dannevirke. We went thru, 3 of us on Triumphs, about 11.15.
Gave you a wave, looked to be a fair number there.

As for the weather, fine till I hopped off my bike at Anza.
As soon as I put a foot on the ground down it came!!!
Pissed down.
Took a Bonnie for a test ride in torrential rain. Was so bad got lost in Palmy.

Left Palmy, turned fine, and amazingly sunny in Danne, had a munch at the Black Stump Cafe, excellent place!
Lots and lots of bikes on the road.

[Dooly]

Cheers, but we're tuff cunts eh George.:Punk:

Worst thing is not riding, especially with summer coming up.
The Duc wont be seeing much road time till after new year I reckon, might have to lend it out to get used.

Thats one reason why I'm looking at getting a Bonnie now the TT600 is sold.
More user friendly for my recovery.

[MSTRS]

Hmmmm. MSTRS. Duke. Has a certain ring to it...:dodge:

Yeah had a brilliant day mate, bummer 'bout the Palmy weather though. We just went through to Porongahau for lunch and finished of the loop through Wiapuk. Not wrong about the amount of bikes out there, first decent weather in a while I guess.

[BigG]

Well I decided to brake my Sunday fast and went for a ride with some Hastings blokes, just on the way out of town one of me mates on his Bonnie got a flat so I stoped back to help out, bummer my kit only repairs tubeless tyres so flicked it onto atrailer and shiped it home. Well I had to do the catch up bit that was cool, splatted past your place Tony down 50, past Team Cudbys and on to Waipuk and caught up with them at a Caf in the little smoke, then Home past the Patangata I needed that it was good:clap::clap::apint:

[BigG]

John did you get to the Beach cos I nearly went looking for you but I thought no there might be some cones on the road that way:lol:

[MSTRS]

Went to Waimarama. What a brilliant day. No cones either. But there were 2 stretches that had been resealed :Pokey:
