It was not intended to put you off. W and I talked about the weather report and we both recon it could be very wet. It might be fine on Saturday and you can ride. Will be fine by Sunday or Monday so you would have a good ride home. What ever happens you will have us on the road in your area on Saturday going the same way so you have support should you want/need it. Please PM me your cell. Unless I have it. 021 and it ends in 63? If yes I will keep in contact with you on Saturday. Or you could come back with us and bus home, or you could ride as you planned to. I am sure it will work out. We have no Internet from 9am tomorrow so txt if we can help.

I was just having a wee chat with your son and he has convinced me that there is nothing wrong with a bit of water as long as I'm warm and toasty.

Yep you have the right number. If I don't reply very quickly you know I'm on the road and will respond next pitstop I make.

Roberty.....thanks for the push, I needed it. See you on Saturday!!!

[yungatart]

You'll be fine Sticky..it is a gorgeous day here today...nothing like the forecast at all. So, no reason the forecast should be right tomorrow, either?
Wrap up warm, stop every 150 -200 ks, plenty of water, you'll be right.
Txt us when you get to town!!

Isn't it a bugger when 'they' dick around with places that hold fond memories?
:chase:

[robertydog]

Oh well. At least there will be no more pine cones for a while.

[Dooly]

Oh well. At least there will be no more pine cones for a while.

He can come out my place for a ride around if he misses the cones.
Hundreds here.:eek:

Emphasis on 'was'...
There's rubber all over me car, meh! :rolleyes:

[stormy1]

Went for an afternoon ride yesterday with two other guys from here (sorry I have a shocking memory for names, you know who you are). Was a great afternoon for a ride. Went out for around 2 hrs and 160 odd k's. They set a pace that let me ride well within my comfort zone ... cheers :-)

[MSTRS]

We saw you, we were having eats at the Chook. You were with BigG and DeltaBravo, I believe.

I believe you are right lol. The chook?

[MSTRS]

Chook and Filly. On HW50 just past the Maraekakaho turnoff by the monument.

Oh of course (male moment). Yes have often wondered about stopping off there to see what its like. Does it come recommended? (oh and did you hear the VTR?)

[MSTRS]

The food there is very nice, and it's a good waypoint (just not far enough as a destination in itself).
Heard the VTR? no - quiet as. :devil2:You'll need to fix that if you wanna ride with us :dodge:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Smoke for Africa. Nice. Was better than the poofy incense people burn these days. Men’s sheds should smell like that. :niceone: Always nice when it is someone else’s rubber :devil2: :clap:

[Dooly]

Oh of course (male moment). Yes have often wondered about stopping off there to see what its like. Does it come recommended? (oh and did you hear the VTR?)

Is your VTR yellow?
If so I saw and heard you from my place, 3 kms from the Chook.
Was sitting on the balconey up Tait Rd, 2kms off HW50 watching bikes go by with my binoculars, saw 3, red, Dave, blue, George, and yellow........

As for the Chook, the food has turned to shit IMO as being a local there. Meals used to be decent, but now are slapped together. Last time there recently, I hurled in the bog from the crap fed up to me............

The beer is ok tho.....

[Gixxer 4 ever]

So what time you riding out tomorrow Chicky?

Can we all tag along for a while?

Nice to see you last knight. You looked a bit sleepy by late evening…:eek:..

We are looking after her Dan. :rolleyes: She is in goodish hands :niceone:

Spoilsport...I was trying to wind 'im up.
Food at the Chook was nice yesterday. It was at the Porangahau pub a month ago as well. Sure it's not you that has a 'delicate' constitution? :eek:

I'm wanting to be leaving about 9am-ish, I would be honoured to be ridden out by your guys. I was stoked to have Roberty ride with me in.

Sorry about the vacancy last night, was starting to get really tired. Next time there is party. I'm coming down the day before.

I'm currently at Grandad's on dial up so I will keep in touch later on so I'm not tying up his phone line so my Aunty can call.

The beer is ok tho.....I thought you mite be basking in the sunshine, Dave took us on a tiki tour up to the Ranges, then we came back through the cow crap roads, then onto the decent roads to Waipawa and home it was a good ride. Need to check out my front end it is doing funny things could be just the old tyre pressure.:first:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Sounds like a plan then. Bay View at 9.15 for a trip to Taupo and Brunch followed by a gentle ride home. The weather is going to be really nice tomorrow. Could be very cold in the morning but the day will get so much better as the day goes. You will have a ball. Hamilton in 3 hours. :devil2:

I actually could see your Yammy leathers from 2km away so figured it was you, reco a red VFR, assumed it was Dave.
Took the Ducati for its first ride for 10 weeks on Friday.
Had to use the block of wood to get on it, despite not having to a few days prior when trying.
Got to Tiko, had to turn around, crouch position too hard on new titanium body parts.
Ducati in corner of shed asleep for a another month or so fuckit............:sleep::doctor:

Speedy's ok to go tho.........

[robertydog]

Actually it was a good ride to Taupo and back today. Gee the weather was great. The company was great. The breakfast was great. The muffins were great. Cindy was great. That was her longest ride and she said she enjoyed it. Apart from the back end sliding around a couple of times on the way home. But all good.

[Ascott]

A little to much polish on the seat Rob?
Plenty of those piggy c**ts on the way back eh?!
Great ride!
Al

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Whooo Whoooo. What they said.

Go Chicky.

Funny how the Gixxer doesn’t slide around. No complaints from my baggage. :rolleyes:

Need to do more of this stuff. :drool: Now it is the season for da bikes to play.

Thank GOD for the Music in our ears or it would be the sound of empty wallets and handing over keys. :Pokey:

I love da Gixxer

[Stickchick]

However, I managed to blow the bulb in my headlight somewhere along the way. Oh well another bulb to fix hehehehe. Snooze time, ride report later.

[robertydog]

And we all know why, don't we.:bleh:

[team cudby]

Hi all we are moving this saturday we need help .We need drivers for cars and bikes and muscles please.
we are moving to waipawa i love the new house so does mike.
sorry it's late notice please HELP pm for address frm jenny & mike :mobile::msn-wink::niceone:

[Maha]

Big thank you too Tart and MSTRS for having us this weekend. Yummy food as alwasy...nice slow cooked meaty/vege/gravy stuff and primo Soup and roast chicken.....:first:
They even threw in an earthquake..4.7??
Tart kicked my undies around as well, lucky I was not in them at the time...:eek:
Made good time coming home, 6 hours. Stoped at Toke for a burger and smoke. Right at Tirua...Matamata, then left into a road that brought us in the backway to Morrinstown, up to Tahuna then out to Ohinewai. Stop number two. Saw a decent smash on the M/Way just by the East Tamaki off ramp, 4WD towing a racecar of sorts was on its side blocking two lanes, we had passed that vehicle at Ohinewai (where we stoped for a smoke)

Thanks again J and J....Ya'll are very special.....:msn-wink:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

(where we stoped for a smoke)



U shoulda all come to Taupo this morning for Breaky. Twas really cool.

What time did you go past there? Tart sent me a text about diverting through Manukau. Decided to take my chances otherwise I would still be riding around looking to get out of Manukau (I'm not good with directions). Was all clear when I came through. Not much traffic on the road. Sat on 110 most of the way.

I second the Thanks to J & J. I could have been sleeping in Grandad's backyard if you guys weren't such great people that came back and got me and gave me a good bed. He was quite shocked he didn't hear my knocking on his bedroom window. Apparently that was the best night's sleep he had in a while.

Thanks to all that rode with me back today too. Had a whoops moment on the bit of road with the bumps heading down into a 35k corner and then a 25K. It unsettled me a bit but started to relax again.

Stormy1...Thanks heaps for lagging behind me. I really appreciated it, hope I didn't make your ride too boring for you.

Basically to all the Hawkes Bay people....You guys rock!!!! Always great company, great laughs and all have hearts of gold. Love the lot of ya :hug::love:

Bring on summer riding where I will hopefully be visiting more often..... Whoohooooo!!!!!

[Maha]

We by-passed Taupo, went down Crown rd and onto Spa rd, thought it would have slow as feck through the town.

Dunno, but....we were home at 3.30 so im guessing around 2pm?
There was an 11km back up traffic from Waiwera (stock truck breakdown on the Waiwera Hill heading south)..thank fuck we were heading north!!!

[MSTRS]

I would have but Grandad was latched on yesterday.

I hope that mental image will fade in time...:devil2:

Moto TT........

Remember track 2 is only half the track. Track 1 is the full track

[speights_bud]

Ummm wasn’t it going to be in the new year? What do others want?

Up to everyone to decide, Moto TT dates are as follows:


2008
Sunday 7 December Track 2

2009
Saturday 17 January Track 1
Friday 27 Febuary Track 1
Saturday 28 March Track 1



Actually next year is probably the best choice, track 1 is the full track. Track 2 is only the new half

Tis all here... http://www.motott.co.nz/bookings.html

Cheers thanks for that. Very similar to the track days that I do in my car. I was a bit worried that I would be out of my league but things look all good to me so will need to have a think about which meet to go to (bearing in mind that these tend to be very popular events). Keen to see how well the VTR goes and if the rider can keep up!!!

Track days are not a race so you can start out slower and build up to see what the bike/rider can do. From what I saw on the weekend you ride well so you will have a ball mate. :niceone:

Aye Patrick.... couold you let Garry know? Thanks

[Dooly]

Interested for sure, but went to surgeon yesterday.
Things have'nt quite healed as well as hoped which may make me doing the day a wee bit risky.
By the time I know for sure I feel it may be too late to book.
But keen to come and support if can't ride!:2thumbsup

Edit, fuckit, should just book and what the hell.

[MSTRS]

Sounds like a plan. I'm keen.

[MSTRS]

Is anyone going to the trackday tomorrow?

You can register any old time. But you dont need to make the payment untill the Monday before the event.

You know why Tony. Give it time mate or you will go back to the start. A few month of genteel exercise will give you years of heath. Rushing it and hurting it could see you on a trike or quad for life.

If this T/day happens it is designed to be a family come mates day so everyone is welcome. See if we can get a few more that want to go.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Is anyone going to the trackday tomorrow?

Not I. Shearing. How is your bike going? Have you sorted the F1 light?

[MSTRS]

Haven't ridden it, maybe this w/e?

[Dooly]

You can register any old time. But you dont need to make the payment untill the Monday before the event.

Cool, put me in then.

[Dooly]

You know why Tony. Give it time mate or you will go back to the start. A few month of genteel exercise will give you years of heath. Rushing it and hurting it could see you on a trike or quad for life.

If this T/day happens it is designed to be a family come mates day so everyone is welcome. See if we can get a few more that want to go.

Hear ya fella, but you know what its like sitting idle when you're used to being on the go.

Looks like I've got an infection in my leg/hip again after the op. Here we go again...........past history says its gonna be a bitch.:angry:

Anyway, was up at 2am with aching again, stuff it, went to work at 6 did some paper work, mucked about, came home about 11, thought I'd have a go on the weedeater for an hour, first time since for 8 weeks, feel guilty the neighbour doing it for me all the time.
Not such a good idea, got what I wanted done tho.

Just popped a couple of prescription morph pills the surgeon gave me, could feel I was gonna need it.

Weed eater is no good for you. :nono: I have spent many years cutting scrub with a scrub bar like a weed eater but with a steel blade. The swinging from side to side will kill the hip Tony.

Bugger you got an infection mate. Eat well and rest so the body can have a real go at beating it. Sleep is good cos the body can send all its workers to the infection. I know how it is mate but you got to beat this or you know what might happen. Stop working and rest. Did I mention rest……:rolleyes:…?? Take the pills and rest. Some exercise is essential but only sum. Come on mate I want to chase you around the roads for a few years yet so give it time. Hang up the keys and put Sky sport and movies on and sleep during the boring shit. Oh and rest. :niceone:

Rant over. Sorry but we care.

K Moooo and I have booked. Group 2, but I can always drop back if they are too fast for me.

Go here for info. http://www.motott.co.nz/bookings.html
Best you read info on the link above.

Send them an Email @ ride@motott.co.nz

Cost is $125.00 for pre booking and $150 on the day.

The prepayment due date is the Monday prior to the trackday.

I think it will fill up quickly being in January. So who else has booked?
Lets make it a great day out with a Hawkes Bay tent and food city.

:wari: bring it on.

[Stickchick]

I think Dan is booking me in as my Christmas present, gonna hopefully hire their 400 :2thumbsup. Well that's the plan anyway. Must find out once he is home.

I must have given my poor EL a hell of a work out. Just took it around to Noels to see if he can show me how to change the bulb in the headlight and the tail light, only to find out while riding there, that now I have no working speedo and there is a knocking noise at low speed (can't hear it at high speed). John informed me that I need a new chain when I was down so hopefully that is the cause of the knocking. Fingers crossed it's not something major.

That would be good start. You will take a bit of time to get into the rythum on being on the track. You only need to go at a pace that you are comfortable with. Its not a race.

"Medium speed" Probably bike size and of course ability.

Q. How many groups are there and how fast can I go?

A. There is no speed limit on the track. You may go as fast or as slow as youlike. However choose a group to ride in that best suits your riding ability. We normally run 4 riding groups.

Group 1 is for expert/experienced riders who wish to ride at a fast pace and includes supermotards.

Group 2 is for experienced riders who wish to ride at a fast to medium speed and excludes supermotards.

Group 3 is for medium speed riding and group 4 is for novice/trackday first timers who wish to ride at a slower pace and not be intimidated by faster riders.

[Dooly]

Ok, just reg for my first trackday:niceone:

Group 3.
Prob use Speedy, but maybe Duc, dunno.

Sounds like fun.

Thanks to Dave, DeltaBravo for the ride today.

Was gonna Duc it but could'nt get on the bike without the block damn it!

Went along to the meet point, just me and Dave there.
Was only going to do a wee ride and test myself.
Ended up Clive, Tuki rd, then Kahuranaki, Patangata etc.

Great, felt good to be back in the saddle.
Nice pace, but did'nt spare the horses on way back.
Speedy was haulin, took no time to get into the groove.

Sore as fuck now, but magic pill has sorted that with the premix JD bottles adding to the flavour.

Man I love that Patangata rd area.

Just spoke to Dan, I'm registered for the Novice group on the Moto TT 400. Whoooohooooooo I can't wait!!!:niceone:

Well i went to the track/training day with Brian Bernard at Manfield yesterday. Was a long but really great day. I learnt heaps and picked up some great tips. All modesty aside, by the end of the day i would have been one of the quicker people around the track even when riding in the faster group. Managed to catch up to some of the riders on circuit bikes and was seeing 220k down the front straight and close to it down the back straight, what a blast!

Right - that's me booked too.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

In 2006 I asked Classic Insurance to write to me and state their position relating to Insurance at a trackday. The reply as follows,

It is a TRACKDAY, Not a training day, when there is an opportunity to go out and ride your bike around a track- even though non-competitively- and when there is no supervision or instruction. These days ARE NOT COVERED.

The best thing is to check the policy wording which reads,

We will not pay for……Losses when your vehicle is being ….

Driven (ridden) on a track whether sealed or not and whether in the presence of other vehicles or not unless as part of an organised non competitive training program and accompanied at all times by a suitably qualified instructor. This means that while there doesn’t necessarily have to be an instructor riding pillion there must be some form of supervision and safety marshals in place around the track to ensure the safety standards are kept up. On a “trackday” everyone just goes all out and slower riders can often weave around in front of faster bikes and accidents are not uncommon.

Quote from Ann Beale
Classic Cover Insurance.

ann@classiccover.co.nz

Classic have never contacted me to say anything has changed but I suggest you call your broker and ask them where you stand. I will do so this week just out of interest because I had heard that State have changed their cover to exclude Trackdays. Mind you we are not going to a Trackday by definition above. We are going to an organised training day as we have formal supervisors and marshals with training riders on the track.
Now this is only my interpretation of what I have read and in no way is it to suggest your cover is the same as mine nor am I suggesting you are or are not covered. I am only relaying information I received from my insurer, Classic Cover, in 2006 when I requested clarification on this matter..

Cut this from the Mottott page of Q A
Q. Am I covered by my bike insurance whilst riding on the track?

A. Check with your insurance provider prior to every trackday.

Actually, Turn 2 is the one to watch. Apparently.

[MSTRS]

Classic Cover doesn't...
Thanks so much for checking with us before you signed up to the Taupo TT day – we are familiar with the event. While there are staff officials there, it unfortunately falls into the Track Day category, rather than the Training Day, as riders are able to use the track to simply go ‘all out’ without worries about speeding fines & police – as noted on the organisers’ web site. We used to be more lenient and include TT days in our cover but had so many claims resulting from these events that we had to restrict cover to ‘true’ Rider Training Day events only. Sorry if this has now put the ‘kaibosh’ on your plans; you can, of course, still take part in the event but it will have to be at your own risk.

Hi Rob,

The response I got from Classic is the same as John posted. You might need to check as it looks like the TT days have a bad reputation for damaging bikes. Hence no cover from Classic.

[Stickchick]

As far as I'm aware star do cover trackdays if you are an existing customer. New Customers will not have that option and anyone renewing their policy will have it deleted off it as well.

Fortunately the leg I put down when come to a halt is my good leg.
I'm finding my bung leg gets real sore within 10 or so mins of riding but I stretch it out as I go along.
But, just a time thing, am working my way up to it.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Who is going to the Toy Run? Do you want to ride over as a group?
Leave Breakers at 10.15?

We're off to Taupo to marshall at the PostClassics.
And who did I see on T Rd today? On his bike? When there were farm jobs to do?

I GOT A BRAND NEW BIKE.....I GOT A BRAND BIKE :woohoo:

Went for a test ride on the 2008 Yamaha scorpio 225 and loved every minute of it. It seemed so effortless to ride it compared to the EL.

And, in case it's not completely 100% absolutely clear, she then purchased it.

But we can't go pick it up until Monday.

She'll probably be hung over tomorrow anyway, so it won't matter.

Are you coming down next weekend? I did hear a whisper, in the dark last night while standing around the camp fire, that you might do a run in ride. But you know what whispers around a camp fires, late on a Saturday night are like. As reliable as the old Government.

Sorry you are working today Dale. We will ride for you mate.

That whisper is true, I'm heading down Saturday coming back Sunday. Well that's the plan at this stage.:wari:

[Stickchick]

Well I left work early to go and pick up my new bike, only to be told the finance company won't let the bike shop release it because my Payslips have my name as "Jodie" and all my other paperwork states that i'm "Jody"

I'm gutted and pretty damn shitty actually. More waiting time :angry2::angry2:

To top it all off, my EL is currently not even going. Won't start for some unknown reason so I can't even ride that. Has not been a good week :crazy:

Yeah, just like summer.
Felt the tar and stones flicking off the bike.
Lost my rhythm on the way back, dunno why, did'nt feel that in sync with the Duc, prob cause have'nt ridden it for 10 weeks or so.
The 2 cop cars parked on Middle Rd sure caught my eye.
They did'nt even look at me when I went past.
Bit sore after, but good to get out none the less.
Might do it again on Friday.
Or tommorrow, or Thurs.:2thumbsup

And yeah, thought about the rest of HB crew working too.
But not for long.:D:D:D

Don’t think about us, out working too long. You will get distracted and you might get a ticket. Wouldn’t that be a bugger aye. :laugh:

[robertydog]

Actually when we were at the Patanagata we saw these guys come around the corner and head up the hill. The car stopped. The guy jumped out lifted the bonnet and got the car started again. He was only wearing a pair of shorts. Pointed it out to Tony at the time that it looked strange. We headed back and we saw that the HP and a dog handler had these guys. Windscreen was broken. Appears that they could of been up to not good.


Did i say it was a great day for a ride.

Yes you can stay even though I will get a hard time from G and Dog cos they think Yamaha is just so cool but they don’t always take their pills so it is normal to be delusional under those circumstances.
You better bring some polish to get the finger marks off the shiny bits Chicky.

That it is. There's been too many of them recently. We can't ever be too careful.
Janet rode the 500 to Carterton, first time on it since maybe Easter. She had built up this scary image in her head, and avoided riding for ages. She did so well!! Sat on a steady 100/110 all the way, not even phased by the copious roadworks!!
Stayed at Elle33f's and off over the hill soon. At least the weather is lovely, so will get to enjoy that part of the day.

110 through roadworks?
Congrats!

Wish i could be with you :(

[McDuck]

An odd request peoples....

It looks like one of the undercoats on the 400s tank is giving up and will need to be striped and painted. I am thinking about sending the tank down to crazyfox to do because he did the initial paint so he should have the colour formula. The thing is I wouldn’t send the whole bike down, just the tank which would leave the bike tankless. One of the functions of the tank is keeping water off/out of the top of the engine. I don’t have shed space and while it is under a cover I don’t trust it that much so dose anybody close-ish to Taradale have shed space it could stay in while the tank is off?
IT may not be happening till December or even the New Year and there may be an option here that MSTRS told me about but have not followed up yet.

Thanks

I am sure we can find shed space for it. Contact Speights_Bud (Patrick) When he gets back and he could pick it up in the van and bring it out to the farm.

Re the bike tank...I already told you who to see and that he will look after you. Tee it up with him and you can just take the whole bike in. That way, it stays inside and he has the other panels to ensure a perfect match.

We did all we set out to do (and more). Grub's send off was the happy/sad equal of Scott's.
And the gixxer finally triggered the error code thingy... Nos.32/33/34/35...relates to injectors having an interruption in their power source. Probably a little corrosion in a wire joining block. Wayne will study his book to identify which one. Not serious as long as it gets dealt with. Horrible things, these intermittent faults. Bike has done near on 1000ks before it did it with the loop tester in place.
