[DR Girl]

Arrr I don’t have Sky sport at the moment. Might have to Google the results

Hell it was hot today. Martin and I got the front fork seal in da GSX-R replaced by 2pm so I came home and got da Mooo. We went to town and ended up at Breakers for a drink. We were surprised with how hot it was in Town.

Hope you all have a good week.

How is DR Girl getting on? I did see you online this Avo DR. Hows the healing?

You got Dans hat chicky?

Thanks Gixxer, for your concern.Also Tony W,Dooly,Big G and Yungatart.Have had quick looks on Kbr but haven't been able to sit at computer (No Laptop) long enough to make a post.Feeling better 3 weeks down the track, broke left leg (Tibia-3 places,Fibula-2 places) and right wrist in 2 places.Quite a bit of metal in leg but not enough to stop me riding again in the future!!!Enjoyed the helicopter ride
from Onga.5 days in hospital, staff couldn't have been better.

[yungatart]

Good to see you back on here. Hope the healing process goes well for you.
Those chopper pilots and crew are someething special, aren't they?

Left leg, right hand...where have I heard that before :innocent: That will slow you down somewhat...not that I would know....:no:

[McDuck]

Enjoyed the helicopter ride


Makes that ride worth doing again...

[Sharry]

It was a fabulous weekend Tarty and MSTRS. The ride down was in good company and without incident. Saturdays ride was fab, you guys have some lovely roads down there :ride:
I must have met about 20 new KBers on Saturday. Twas a good night and the food..........:first:, my taste buds are so happy.
Youngatart and MSTRS are so hospitable and the locals have been very friendly in Hawks Bay :hug:

I look forward to returning again.

Yup was the most awesome of weekends ... lots of good company ... great food and an interesting nights sleep ;)

Thanks again for the hospitality Tart and Mstrs ... twas wonderful!

[MadDuck]

Ahh.........yep, you got me there I guess. Just not the 30 stone lesbo riders tho........:crazy:

Well I guess you can see we are not 30 stone lesbo riders ah :bleh:

Was fantastic to catch up with some familiar faces and meet some new. Had a great night.

The ride back was made longer as we were diverted at the Kinloch turnoff because of an accident but was some cool roads so it wasnt that big an issue.

Yeah what a trip home indeed. Was a fatal accident, 1 dead, 2 or 3 flown off to hospital in really bad shape and 4 driven by ambulance. Actually pleased we were turned away, dont think that would have been pretty at all.

Thanks Tart & MSTRS for a fab time as usual, loved those roads yesterday, man you are spoiled for choices down there.

Friggen knackered tonight for some strange reason :lol:

[robertydog]

Was a good night. Thanks Tart. Nice to catch up and meet those that have been very naughty.

[BigG]

I had a bit of a toottle around HB yesterday did the Highway 50 loop to Waipuk thro Onga Onga to Patangata to Havelock then ended up with a full on BBQ, good ride though with good company. Check out why you shouldnt buy a Harley ( no offence ment):laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Maha]

Yeah Im pretty fecked too....1163kms over the weekend.
Had to take cover at the Te Pohue pub on the way down, couldn't see to well cos of the rain and mist and foggy visor and sunny's....:cool:

How could we ride all that way and with 200mts to go, we loose two??? :lol:
Enjoyed once again, those fantastic roads on Saturday...the fast group (that was me) left the slow group (the other three) on 55 or just before, to have a wee solo play. Stopped at the Tiko pub for a few pics and smoke, over to Waipawa and out to that other place starting with 'P' where we had cool graze and met up with some of the dodgy dudes form down that way.

Party was great...thanks Tart a MSTRS, and the rest of the HB crew (who are pretty awesome)...:2thumbsup

[MadDuck]

How could we ride all that way and with 200mts to go, we loose two??? :lol:

Yes that Tart had to do some quick talking ah? Left behind at the first turn off...the damn driveway for goddness sake!

Ha!:niceone:

Nice to meet ya, nice hog too.

[MSTRS]

Actually, I reckon the thanks must go to those who came along. Get-together/BBQs are only as good as the people that turn up.
Glad that everyone had a great time...we must do it again sometime.

Must have been a non harley day cause we rode over to Palmy n bak and was a H broken down south of Tiko late arvo he was with a yellow Trump Daytona? but seemed to have it under control ( fuel transfer probs )
Certainly better day with good dose of sun and not a wif of bacon
Huge numbers of bikes either way so all good:shifty:

He is something else isn't he? To be riding that quick on tracks he hasn't seen before :gob: He is pure talent.

I saw a video where said there were 6 tracks that he hadnt been to before. So he reckoned he needed to to do well at the ones he knew.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHQmKsCjWXQ That was a good interveiw, seems like a real nice guy got the right attitude, got the right team, looking forward to some real exciting raceing in the future.:clap:

[BigG]

I see Kawasaki has pulled the plug on Moto GP, wonder who will be next to pull out. I was going to say Susuki but I better not.:apint:

[Dooly]

Thanks Gixxer, for your concern.Also Tony W,Dooly,Big G and Yungatart.Have had quick looks on Kbr but haven't been able to sit at computer (No Laptop) long enough to make a post.Feeling better 3 weeks down the track, broke left leg (Tibia-3 places,Fibula-2 places) and right wrist in 2 places.Quite a bit of metal in leg but not enough to stop me riding again in the future!!!Enjoyed the helicopter ride
from Onga.5 days in hospital, staff couldn't have been better.

You'll be back in no time!:yes:

Maybe you should get a sedate road bike like a Triumph Daytona 675.
Then you can pootle along with us..........we'll look after you ok.
We only cruise.:niceone::lol:

[stormy1]

I regret to inform all concerned that I will be unable to make any rides planned for this weekend :no:

I will be attending a 21st in Motu. For the eductaion of those who do not know, Motu is approximately 55 km from Gisborne off SH2 between Gisborne and Opotiki.

The trip from Gisborne to Opotiki would be an awesome ride (not to mention the Napier to Gisborne leg). We could maybe do Napier - Gisborne - Opotiki -Rotorua - Taupo - Napier over a long weekend? Oh and maybe for those on cruisers split it up over two long weekends :lol:

Yeah. Just head directly north from Motu and about 45km later you will emerge at the coast, about 15km from Opotiki.
It's a really neat road. You can tell us what top speed you got up to !!!:laugh:

Napier-Gis-Opotiki-Na is a day trip.

From my experiance you should be able to do :
Napier to opotiki 4-5 hours quickish riding (for me)
opotiki to whakatane 1 (if you brake down)
whakatane to roto 45 min (more if you dont have a radar dectector on the rotomas), 1.5 hours to taupo form roto then 1.5 back to napier which should leave some room for back roads.

I have done whakatne to napier via taupo in a shade over 3 hrs without being to silly.

[stormy1]

You can tell us what top speed you got up to !!!:laugh:

Well I believe that on a good day with a tail wind a and a downhill grade 105km/hr may be possible. That of course would be breaking the law tho! :no:

Great to see some feedback on the proposal though. Any genuine interest out there to make it a planned ride???

Can't read maps, wife's job.
And she does that bad too........:shit::laugh:

I hope not cos I have just about finished the south island trip maps and we would like the ute and trailer at some sleep over points along the way. About 4200km in total over 13 days. Napier to Napier. Now you be nice Tony


Flippin ell, that's a bit far for my tender arse & a bit early for my day, anyone interested in a shorter ride Saturday, say 1pm Clive BP?


:laugh: :lol: :rofl: :rofl:


Check bottom right corner of picture:wacko:

What do they do well G?

Have a great ride you lot. I wish I could be along, but Patrick will take the old Gixxer for a blat as I have work. What a fantastic start to the day. Red sunrise, valley full of fog, brisk air. Going to be another great day………………

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Great to see some feedback on the proposal though. Any genuine interest out there to make it a planned ride???


We could pick up Gixxer on the way - after having breaky at his place :laugh:

Now funny you should say that. :laugh: Has happened before. :msn-wink: Da old Mooo is great on the breaky thing. Not. My job and W&D are great cooks in the mornings. We should do that ride next month with breaky here and then away. Should we pick a date?

Was a really good ride today. Was really great weather for it i might add. I reckon we could do that ride a bit more often. Some good, some bad parts. But when you are on the good bits, its wow factor. Good to meet you Tony W. And nice to catch up with NZSarge as always.

[BigG]

Some pics at the watering hole in Porangahau, far out what a ride, it was all good to Weber but from there to Poronga the road was a bit bumpy and falling away but all good, beautifull weather good bunch of blokes, I dont no why Gixxers have two wheels they seem to run ok on one wheel :dodge: eh! Paddy, Tony W rides well got his oil sorted and met up with us at Poronga brought the rain with him to.

[Dooly]

I reckon we could do that ride a bit more often.

Yep, and leaving earlier rather than early to mid arvo is the key I reckon, especially now as we're gonna lose daylight saving.
A start of around 11-12 is good so we can get a decent ride in and be home at a decent time.

[Dooly]

blokes, I dont no why Gixxers have two wheels they seem to run ok on one wheel :dodge: eh! Paddy

Yes I noticed that too.
I think the Gixxer may have a suspension problem as it kept lifting onto the back wheel in front of me today.
Best you sort eh Steve.......could be dangerous..........:msn-wink::lol::lol::2thumbsup

To be honest though, having lifted the triple clams on the forks 15-20mm from how they used to be back to what i presume is the'stock' setting actually made quite a difference, the bike corners much better and yes the front did also get lighter easier.

Well I thought I would just flick yous fellas a quick update from the deep south (almost).

Im in Queenstown for work. Sposed to fly in here at 10ish but we couldnt get into ChCh airport for the connectinm flight due to fog. Pilot tried twice to land, circling for half hr at a time waiting for the fog to clear. After an hour flying around took us to Nelson. I then caught a plane to Wellington and then eventually a direct flight to Queenstown. Arrived at 2ish only to find my meeting changed to Alexandra. Hired a rental to then find that they are doing some rock blasting somewhere with traffic let through on the hr for 10 minutes. Missed that window bugger so am sending this from my Hotel back in Queenstown. Back tomorrow night at 8.30pm then Friday night staying at Dooly's and then Saturday ... Taupo wahoo.

What an awesome day at the track today. Some big buck bikes there.

Lots of crashes, but Dale & I managed to stay upright, despite the Daytona trying to flick me off after a botched downshift!!!
Ran out of brakes, got blue front discs but all good.
Did the last session using mainly the rear brakes, but thats cool, something to work on.
Good to have some decent hp now on the back straight.
Good way to run the bike in.

Brand new R1 under a week old there with all the bling. Sounds like a triple with that new fandangled firing set up it has.
Rob is in love.:soon:

Thanks to Rob being our pit bitch today.:msn-wink::bleh:

Was good day i reckon. One of the better ones for me anyway.
Yes a very nice R1. I reckon $15000 i reckon of extras and talking to him more to come. and he hasnt even had it a week. The $5500 for exhaust pipes had me walking away shaking my head wondering how i could get Cindy a second job.
But any way well done to Tony and Dale. You guys had a good day and the smile on your faces told the story. :clap::clap:

[Dooly]

Could you not organise for her to do double shifts?
I mean, it is for a good cause eh.:yes::shutup:

[stormy1]

Had a really great day today, managed to stay right way up :clap:. Had a shit first session, just couldnt get into it and let the track repairs on the apex's psyche me out.

Spoke to one of the riders who show you the lines, followed him around for a while in the second session to get my confidence then had a blast for the rest of the day!

Was a little frustrating at times with the VTR dropping a cylinder under hard breaking into turn one until the next right hander, something that will need resolving. Met plenty of friendly bikers at the meet who were helpful in trying to diagnose the problem and also lend tools.

Thanks Dooly and Tina for the hospitality shown to Karen and I Friday night, and for the ride there and back today Dooly, much appreciated. Was great to see Robertydog come through to watch and offer advice, and yes be our pit biatch :rolleyes:. Dooly rode really well and somehow made the Daytona really wide in the corners :Playnice: :clap:

Hey Tony W and the crew, I hope you had a great (and safe) ride to Aucks and back today. Let us know how it went ok.

[robertydog]

Had a really good ride home today from Taupo. But was really thinking about how bad that road is getting. Constantly getting patched up. And the amount of tar coming up after the hot summer. Found the worst to be north of Tarawera. It wouldnt be a road i would not be to confident in the wet in that area.
They are still trying to fix the crap road just north of the summit. Been patched up and resealed so there is loose gravel every where. And also road works between the Rangitaki cafe and the pub, and some work on the side of the road on the plains, as the road is falling away.
Dillons hill is just about no more. They have just about carved that hill out and im guessing that they will be trying to get as much earth works done before the winter rain comes.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Thanks for the road report Rob. About to head to Hamilton for the day. They need to get the road sorted and start using the right product to keep it in good condition. :spanking:

I have a feeling it might be a bit cold out there first thing. Best get out the Pollies. :doh:

Nice to read the report from the track. Another great day for the speed demands among us. Well done you two. :niceone:

K best wake da Moooo :spanking: and hits the trail. Have a great ride here in the Bay today. Cheers

[robertydog]

Stormy1 has just advised me there is a ride from Burga Fuel at 11.00am if anybody was interested.

[BigG]

Had a good Day that sounded awesome guys good on you Dale keeping the bike upright, blue brake disks are in Tony be a bit soft now eh!
Rob that new are one looks a bit drab needs a good paint job by the looks, looks like the dood needs some power to pull his weight or were his leathers blown up with the wind:whistle::calm:

Feeling a bit rooted today, can barely move my leg.
Been looking at 30 bales of hay I'm meant to move to the hay shed uphill.
Just can't be fucked.
Think I'll stick here today, the missus' has gone out today after buying another horse yesterday.

If anyone's out and wants a pitstop/drink etc, pop in.

[schado]

I'll show up. Gotta get some 98octane 1st. So might be 5 mins late.


:2thumbsup

[schado]

That was fun. Nice roads. Perhaps could have done another 2 hours of that comfortably. Chalk me up for the next one. Cheers.

Just remember guys ('n gals)..." when the flag drops, da da da da " :blip:

Put all your trackday skills to use at Seafield Road.

(unless of course you are escaping to Welly !!) :bye:

[fazer]

Whilst I am used to cages pulling out in front of me, I did not expect it the other way round. So, if it was you at the Taradale roundabout at 1655 on your shiny black Boulevard, was it really worth getting home the extra 2 seconds earlier, cos one day you won't!

Rant over.

[Tony W]

I might give it a shot but I aint good on tight corners. :doh:

...a bit of brake will help...:laugh:

[Dooly]

I imagine a well set up big motard would be the go on Seafield rather than a big horsepower rocket.
