[Gixxer 4 ever]

not sure if the manawatu lot are out this weekend so i might gatecrash you lot if you dont mind...ill see which way you going first tho :yes:

Sounds good to me. Watch this space

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Don;t think its a good idea for me to plan it as I have no idea about the roads around here

Ok I am not keen on the shingle roads. Lets see what pops up here before da ride.

Bump........

[yungatart]

I prolly won't be joining you as I have a blardy awful cold, been off sick since tuesday....should be a seat on "The Wanton Hussy" if you want it SC.
Also Canarlee (ex UK) is staying with us, he'll prolly join you guys as well.

[MSTRS]

Don;t think its a good idea for me to plan it as I have no idea about the roads around here

What's the problem? Didn't stop Cowboyz, did it?

[Stickchick]

What's the problem? Didn't stop Cowboyz, did it?

He didn't plan the ride he just went in his own little world

[Stickchick]

Sorry guys I might have to give tomorrow a miss as I too now have a cold. Will post tomorrow to let you know

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Sorry guys I might have to give tomorrow a miss as I too now have a cold. Will post tomorrow to let you know

Ummmm you can't sit on the back of a bike with a cold? Visors can be cleaned. hahahaha I have never sneezed :shit: in my helmet. Yuck Snot running down the inside..................

[BigG]

Could ride down 50 to Maraekakaho, thro Kereru Road to Tikokino, back on 50, to main Highway back to Waipuk or whatever, how do we get the money to ya stick if you no come.

[BigG]

[Stickchick]

Hey if someone is willing to take a sick person on a ride then I'm a goer....I'm alittle worried I'll fall asleep from the Drugs which i have in the past so best I don't...Money thing all good just give it to me next time you see me which may not be for a few weekends :o(

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Nice ride people. That is the longest diesel spill I have ever seen. Must be 15 km long. Couple that with the Weaner Heifers Turkeys Goats and rolled over ute, you have to say it is a road that challenges the senses. But still a nice ride. Hope everyone wears plenty of warm gear from now on.

How you feeling Chicky?

Missed you Mark. Maybe next week aye? :shutup:

[yungatart]

Nice to see you are getting to practice hazard avoidance skills!!!


I'm slowly getting better, Steve, thanks for asking!:innocent: :Pokey:
Stikchick and I had coffee together, some girly conversation, some bike talk...

[yungatart]

Girl conversation???? sounds scarey


oooops

Yep, we talked about all of you lot....you should be scared, with what we collectively know about you...
Glad you had a good ride.
My head feels as tho it has been stuffed with cottonwool - not good for riding...
Maybe next week!

[robertydog]

It was a good ride to blow the cobb webs out. Good to see so many bikes on the road.:ride:

[MSTRS]

That was certainly one of the more 'interesting' ones we've had....don't normally come across rolled vehicles. Still...no-one hurt, weather good, company excellent. Bang on. Our latest HB member, Canarlee, is well confirmed as another regular.

[Dooly]

Neat ride that one. Good obstacle course too!
Where was the diesel spill?
Did'nt notice it.

Nice bike Rob, awesome colour too.

Canarlee, is he a newbie to the province now, a resident?
Nice to see the new Bandit 1250, but what a massive can it's got!

[Ascott]

yeah, great road that, sorry I didn't stop at the rubidy dub, but had some stuff to sort, like find my wallet! and yes I did! on the way back I caught up with the filth that had, I guess, been to the rolled ute. It wasn't a h.p. pig just a normal pig, no rear facing radar, maybe just as well:innocent: so was going to pass but thought better of it, so had to follow him and the car in front down through the twisty bits :zzzz: then on the flat, a bike hoves into view and the pig hits the radar, then another bike, same thing the pig hits the radar, moments latter an oldish b.m.w. two up rounds the corner towards us, not cranked over or anything near it, the pig hits the radar again and switches on the c**t lights, I'm saying to myself thats bullshit, but the pig does the u turn and pulls him over twat! was good for me though nailed it from there into town :yes: sweet, sorry for the dude on the bimmer. 26 more sleeps before "you know what":scooter: Have to get a few more rides in, not riding so smooth at the mo.
A

[BigG]

I enjoyed that ride as well, its always good that road, nice to have another Yamaha whoooooo nice bike, got to keep them Gixxers in their place. Hey Dooly that was a big can on the Bandit and it was hot too, ouch! When I got home the Mrs was back from work, guess what she wanted to go for a ride so we had a bit of a night ride bit cool tho.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Where was the diesel spill?
Did'nt notice it.!

Ummm did you smell the diesel at the top of the devils elbow? That line in the lane from there to almost the pub was diesel. When it rains it is going to be a major hazard. That's why MSTRS and I were riding funny lines. Trying not to cross over it too often or corner on it.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Yep, we talked about all of you lot....you should be scared, with what we collectively know about you...
!

So........................ we talked about you lot. You would be surprised how much we know too :shit: . Thanks to MSTRS with the inside scoop.:shutup:

No we bloody didn't we were out riding.....like you should have been. If you can talk you can ride. Bloody see you next week Chicky Tart.

Nope did'nt smell that.
Come to think of it I think I can recall seeing a black line on the road now.
Good spotting.

Sorry dude, I'm going to Welly next weekend.

I'll see you sometime - if I come back. :innocent:

[Zukin]

Hey all

It was great ride.
Great company and great road, even with the few obstacles we encountered along the way :mellow:

I was grinning pretty much the whole time, being on the new bike and all.
It goes great on the tarseal :yes:

When did Harley Davidson release their new sports bike, because that one with us sure can move :bleh:

Look forward to the next ride :yes:
Anyone going out today?

Cheers Scott

[MSTRS]

Canarlee, is he a newbie to the province now, a resident?
Nice to see the new Bandit 1250, but what a massive can it's got!

As G4E said, it was one continuous black line in our lane for maybe 30kms or more. Bastard being confined to half of one lane or less manouevring room. didn't cause me issues when I had to cross it, but then, why risk it?
Canarlee said he felt his front step a couple of times and hadn't noticed the spill, Probably was the cause. What's with the powers of observation - thought we bikers never missed a thing? :Pokey:
He is indeed new to our place, in fact he only arrived in NZ 2 weeks ago. He wants to set up a biker-friendly cafe/bar http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=43767 . He is staying with us until his flat is available.
And yes, the Bandit can is the pits. Give him time - he's only had the bike for 10 days - there is a Micron or similar somewhere with his name on it.

[Dooly]

I remember that thread about the cafe now.

I think I saw Canarlee's front step out on the way home, as I was behind him, it was up the gorge bit, quite noticable.

Your house must be getting full now.
Where's the foreign student, you scared him off the back?

[MSTRS]

Although he likes bikes, it is not a passion for him. We are encouraging him to develop his own friendship circles with kiwi kids his age....not the easiest of tasks.....

[yungatart]

Your house must be getting full now.


Tell me about it!
And they are all male, and not one of them knows how to put the toilet seat down!
Anyone got a spare bed for me for a few days....

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Sorry dude, I'm going to Welly next weekend.

I'll see you sometime - if I come back. :innocent:

That would be a great loss for us in the Bay but I guess you gota do what you gota do.

[Stickchick]

I was joking...I will NEVER move back down there. I love it way too much up here and you guys have accepted me for who I am not who I should be. I'm only going down for my Dads surprise 60th

[BigG]

I was joking...I will NEVER move back down there. I love it way too much up here and you guys have accepted me for who I am not who I should be. I'm only going down for my Dads surprise 60th:shit: I never got a suprise on mine, but had a good night out but had to pay for it, best thing you can do for him is give him an honouring:yes:

[Stickchick]

:shit: I never got a suprise on mine, but had a good night out but had to pay for it, best thing you can do for him is give him an honouring:yes:

Honouring? What is that?

[BigG]

Honouring? What is that?When people die we usualy have an eulogie ( I cant spell for nuts) but we say things about them in their life as they lived it. It is better to say things to them while they are still alive, what I meen is tell him how much you love him and tell him that he has bin a good Dad and things like that, just honouring his life as you see it. Forget it if you have nothing nice to say. People realy like this I think you will be very blessed if you do this.:yes: :yes:

I saw you on my way to the airport thought I had missed out on another ride...Where were you two off to huh huh huh huh.

My parents brought me up to be a considerate person and from what I see you and Mary moo are great parents just like everyone else in the group. At the mo your kids may not show you how much they care as I know I sure didn;t but the older they get the more they realise how much their parents mean to them and now is my chance to show that

Always a gentle cruise eh?
Just sometimes the speedo stuffs up and reads erratically.:scooter: :Punk:

[Dooly]

Lucky we never went up the Taupo rd last Saturday.

A mate was in earlier. Him and a couple on bikes went to Taupo to do a bike trade with someone and he said the plains and the start of the hills were infested with bacon.
He and another got pinged for 125km by a cop in a silver Honda Prelude who got him from behind.

He had a radar detector which detected the bacon, but he could'nt see it.
The cop said he saw them coming towards him then did a u turn then flicked on his radar which was fortunate as my mate was going about 200, and when the alarm went off he dropped his speed.
He saw several mufti cops sitting at the bottom of passing lanes too.

yea a mate and i went up to the Vic club racing on sunday and there were 4 highway patrol cruising the road

Yep the detector will not save you all the time. I am due to be pinged and will take it with out to much protest as it is well over due. But that is why I have the ear plugs cos as soon as the thing beeps I hit the brakes hard. Very hard. Below 100 kmh every time. I don't need to see the bacon just hear it. once I am down to speed I start to look for it. If you brake very hard it seems to stop the tickets. I wait a while before I speed up again. Once I am down to speed I put my hand over the back of the detector to determine where the bacon is.
Always use your eyes and look hard for them. But the truth is the Escort has saved me way way more than it cost me. But I will get a ticket some time in the future. it is only a matter of time. I would rather go down for 120 than 180.

Thank you chicky.......:hug: ............ You better be afraid you big bullies.... I will get da girls on to you and I am sure Tart will team up with da girls too.........

I am sure your Dad will have a great weekend. Don't shatter any dreams............:o

[BigG]

Some smart alex's wait till they see you then turn their radar on but if you hit the anchors quick by the time his radar settles down you will keep your licence. The cheap Cobra I have has kept me clean but dont always fit it cos I need ear plugs for it. Word of warning dont follow to close to Gixxer when he detects cos you'll disapear up his exhuast pipe when he hits his achors.:dodge:

Yep you got that right. I always try and ride offset. The hard thing about having the detector is keeping the speed down. I like to ride out in the front but I do lead too fast and we are a slower riding group and must remember that.

All credit to MSTRS for keeping the speed at a good pace. Good self control MSTRS. It is good to have you out the front at the start of the rides cos it set's a good tone for the ride. Remember we need to train our newer riders. That's why Tart got this group together. And we have Chicky coming on so we need to get her up to speed. Ummmm I haven't seen Alice on a ride for a while. Still around? So Big G has a good point. Make room for other riders.

A point here. If one of us gets pulled over it is better for the rest of the riders to continue on. Maybe wait a few k's down the road or just head to our meeting place or home. How do you all feel about that?

Also pays to bunch up when the lights go on cos it is hard for the bacon to pick a bike out of a group than one on it's own. Again how do you feel about that

[MSTRS]

Thanks, Steve. I know I'm not as fast as you, but did you have to tell the whole world??:shit:
Dunno correct response from the group to a ping. I know some groups work on lead rider takes the hit, while others shuffle their order to confuse the cop.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Some smart alex's wait till they see you then turn their radar on but if you hit the anchors quick by the time his radar settles down you will keep your licence.

This is true. Mary Mooo and I got hit with instant on going past the lime works on SH1 8 months ago. We were around 150k. I braked very hard and we got the slow down finger from Mr Plod. That is the 5th time we have done that and got away with it. There are plenty of threads on here that explain why this works.

One other thing we do. if we get hit with instant on when car hopping I go across the lane to the very left of the road and try and brake the radar signal and brake to try and make sure the car behind me will not hit me. It has worked every time. But we seldom go more that 20-40 K over the limit when car hopping.

How do people ride with out one? I would be a nervous wreck.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Thanks, Steve. I know I'm not as fast as you, but did you have to tell the whole world??:shit:
.

I have seen you set a mean pace John. :yes: But I admire the way you lead this group. It is harder to lead at a slower speed for the group sake than blast away by yourself. The fact that this group rides together is why we have such a great time every week.

He can only do it, because he has had endless hours and ks of following/leading me.
I admire him greatly for his patience and self control, when, with a twist of the wrist he'd leave me for dead! He's great, ain't he?:love:

Bunch up if we not spread out. Need to keep an eye on the inexperenced.

Good point. My mate's friend stopped just in front of him on Saturday and they gave him a ticket too, saying, you were close to him so you must of been doing the same, yet they never clocked him.

[Dooly]

Yep, indeed.

I find it hard to tootle along at around the speed limit constantly and being behind John or Steve keeps me fine and makes me get used to it.
Not keen on leading as I tend to drift way over the limit without noticing quickly. Plus its good to follow the lines of different experienced riders and see how they do it and maybe use it to improve your own riding style.

Naa mate........'around' the speed limit.
Various interpretations on that!:yes:

[BigG]

It's good we keep our rides different each week otherwise the Feds would anticipate ware we are going and possibly look out for us. There are few live out Maraekakaho way, with the popularity of biking on the increase and the authorities wanting to keep the speeds down they are going to target bikes. So I beleive what has bin said by the Gixxer is very good, we just be sensible and go quick when it is safe to do so and for Dooly can go Very Quick when it is safe and clear. They are briliant rides.:rockon:

[Dooly]

Funnily enough the only time I've seen the cops who live out my way are on the way to work with the main one who lives by the monument, Quinn, the head of HWP here, who is a real CUNT. Has been known to drink at the Chook & Filly, go home 1km down the road, put on his uniform bring the car out and ping the locals for DIC leaving the bar he was just in! He also sits up the hills on HW50 taking pics of speeders and lane crossers.
The only other cop I know of near me is a dog handler.
They seem to be rampant down HW50 mainly during the working week, not so much during the weekend.

But as far as perks of the job go. A long time mate of mine who I'm trying to get to join us on our rides is a cop here in Hastings. He was pulled up on his K5 Gixxer a while back on the Taupo rd for a warp speed.
Showed the old bacon ID badge eh.............you know the rest.:yes:
Apparantley quite a few Hastings cops ride big bikes.

[yungatart]

There is at least one I know of in Napier too - but he is a genuinely nice guy....and hates HP with a passion.

[Dooly]

Yeah the guy I mentioned above hates them too, his word was 'cunts' the other day when he gleefully told me he saw 300 again on his digi speedo.

Chris Quinn was ex napier city council traffic cop. He was the same back then as well.:tugger:

[Dooly]

Chris Quinn was ex napier city council traffic cop. He was the same back then as well.:tugger:

I had to follow him into work yesterday morn. It was 7am, no one on the road and the cunt was doing 90kph on HW50 all the way to Bridge Pa.
He takes the HWP car home each day so at least he's easy to see when you come up on him.

[MSTRS]

Would he have done you for 'taking too long in a passing manuoevre' if you'd done it at 100kph?

[Dooly]

Would he have done you for 'taking too long in a passing manuoevre' if you'd done it at 100kph?

With this guy mate, for sure.

I've noticed when other cars are behind him in the morns, its a slow procession into town. No one passes him. All the locals only travel at 100-110 but he is always 90.

His house is directly opposite the monument, red roof, on the rise.
I often wonder, actually everytime when riding past....'I wonder if the cunt will take my pic', so I always button off past it. Just habit.

[MSTRS]

A few Z nails in the dust of his driveway wouldn't be really naughty. Would it?

Not really, but you might get a bargain deal as I think the driveway is used by another place too.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Good point. My mate's friend stopped just in front of him on Saturday and they gave him a ticket too, saying, you were close to him so you must of been doing the same, yet they never clocked him.

I would argue that one. Big time.

Yep. The group I rode with before this had a deal to compress if the lights come on and they turn around, and change the lead bike. Then no one stops until the bacon picks a bike out. Then the rest keep going to where ever they were going.

We could all put in for the fine but that's a bit tuff if the lead bike is way out the front playing. But if the hole group are doing 120 and one gets fined we are all guilty and spreading the load would work. Remember that a beginner is 50 k over at 120. No more licence.

Sorry S, you are wrong there. It is 20k over PLUS breach of licence conditions. Not walking....

Yep you are correct.
Patrick got the fine for 110 Kmh but was let off the breach of licence coditions. Probably best to put the L plates in the midle of the group with out L plates on. Catch 22 really cos you get fined for that as well............

Yes true but if you are riding with an L plate and you are seen by Mr Plod doing 100 k he will pull you over. no L plate and they do not know you should be doing 70 not 100. But then maybe you should stick to the 70 when learning. I don't know the answer but when Patrick and I past a Plod on the Taupo road at 100 kmh he got away with it cos he didn't have his L plate on. But if you get pulled over for somethin else and you don't have it on you pay the fine. No easy answer but I recon the 70 k thing is stupid. Best way to get killed. Drive at 70 k while the trucks are doing 110 around you. Stupid law this one.

[yungatart]

Any L-Plater who is riding at the same speed as the traffic flow, will not get pulled up....tis only if you are doing something stupid to get yourself noticed by the plod, that he will pull you up.
Like I said, i was never hassled...or stopped either.

Another good ride. Was cold when I left home but was hot when we got to Patangata. Sorry some of our usuals couldn't make it. Got you on our minds guys and girls.
Was great to have Lance and speights_bud along. That is a nice bike BUBBLE. Nice to chase it and see what a real Zuki looks like. Gota love the paint job man. Thanks for the wedges by the way.
I enjoyed chasing Lance, Speights_bud and Bubble home. Was funny to see you with all your bits tucked down below the screen to get as much speed outa the old 250 as you could Speights_bud. You ride well. Was a good ride.
Hope everyone got home ok. Sorry we took off but I needed to get home and I wanted to watch my boy ride.
Thanks everyone.

Did I see a camera BigG?Yep, not to good with the long shadows, you guys must have bin in hastings while I was still putting me gloves on. I was going to ride ahead and take some action shots, never mind next time.

Two more with shadows, not good photos but what the heck.:bye:

Nice ride, but that road sure felt like it had quite some more shingle all over it this time round.
Must of hit a few wrong bits in the road, got flung off the seat a few times and had a wicked tank slapper just before the bridge at Patangata.

Good to see new faces, shame you could'nt make it Warwick, hope your mum's ok mate.

I really did want to make this ride, but work, "the curse of the drinking man" or should be "riding man" got in the way yet again! Saw you guys at the Pakowai lights heading out, I flashed my lights at the first two groups, but then thought they will not know who I am, and will think I am warning them they are going too fast as per pig instructions! G4e you were just putting your visor down when I went past, white ute,I'm sure you will remember "yeah right" Oh yeah nearly forgot only 19 more sleeps!

Ummm no sorry. We had been split up by the lights on the motorway and I had waited for the second half of the group cos they didn't know where we were going. Had a new rider with us. mate of mine so I didn't want to leave him behind. A bit of a messy start to the ride but it all fell in to place after that.

19 more sleeps. Well 18 by the time you read this. Bloody good on you mate. Hope we see you before you go.

It was a bit messy. When MSTRS pulled over to let us go at the intersection a few k's before the pub I took the lead.

I didn't have my good luck charm on the back this week. You might have to come back Stichchick to keep us safe.

A tank slapper aye. Um was that going down hill??:shit: ???? There is a big groove in the road down that hill. It is a real trap for sure.

They are good rides for sure.
This riding group is so you and others can enjoy the ride. We came together so beginners could get out and ride. So with that in mind you get on your bike and turn up. You would have kept up on the first half of the ride yesterday. If people want to speed up on the way home that is good as long as someone stays with the beginners and make sure everyone knows how to get home. It is a bit tuff when you are in the back country and have no idea how to get back to the main road and the other bikes have disappeared in to the abyss. I know it has happened to me. We will have Chicky on the rides in a months time. So just turn up on the bike and we will sort it out. I recon it is good for the faster riders to go off and we slower riders meet them there.

Stick to some rules.

Rule one. Nominate a sweeper. That person stays at the back till they get to the destination. Swap the sweeper to someone else for the ride home.

Rule two. The person who is riding second in line stops at the first intersection and directs the rest of the group. They know who the sweeper is and when the sweeper goes passed they can come along. Pass the sweeper so that person is still at the back. And so on for all intersections.

The sweeper will ride behind the slowest rider. That rider need not worry about holding them up cos they are there to help and it is their responsibility to look after the last rider. The sweeper should back off if the rider in front looks uncomfortable.

Simple. If the sweeper does not turn up in reasonable time to the intersection go back and look. If you see them coming turn around and go back to the intersection so the slower riders know where to go.

I don't want to spoil the rides with rules. Nor is it my place to ask for any. It just seems to make sense to me. We had problems on ANZAC day cos we didn't have a plan. But it was a great ride anyway.

[yungatart]

I second your rules!!
One question tho Steve....you say "we slower riders"....am I to assume I have you for company in that small, elite group!!!!!

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Fitted up some photos on one Pic for now.:yes:

I was going to give you green rep for that but it says you have enough. :yes: Well done G. I think I will print it and put it on the office wall to give me hope on the bad days :shit: :shutup:

Yep I am happy to sweep. if I know it is my place to be I am happy to be there. I only try and catch the fast bikes at the front, from time to time, cos I feel I have to. The curse of the gixxer you understand.

Well it felt fine, felt violent, but at no stage did I feel in danger. Just kept the throttle in, and I've barely had any of those on any of my bikes so can't say i'm experienced at it.
Maybe its just the kudos Duc's get for their handling and suspension, I really dont know.
Was kinda fun tho.....

Up hill near on max gas it probably lifted the front and when it touched down it wasn't straight. Scary but as you say fun. A steering dampener might be in order or less gas :first:

Yep thats a good idea Steve haveing a sweeper, as long as the regulars take turns, I think we need to be aware of the slower riders. There's nothing more discourageing for slower riders if they think they are holding the run up but that should not be the case, if they try to push it :shit: could happen. I get head rushes sometimes and got to blast off but if I'm sweeper then cool I'll look after the tail end.:Police: sweeper shouldnt get pinged:Police:

[MSTRS]

Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's ride. Good to see some new faces too.
Had a lovely 'pootle' up the Annie today with Canarlee.....HEADS UP.... the gravel warning sign is no longer there when the seal runs out. Not cool coming out of the sun, into the shadow and deep loose gravel at 90kph. A brown trouser moment!!!! Kept it together, although I really don't know how. Keeping OFF the brakes, closed throttle is probably how??

Thanks everyone.
Cheers all for the good ride yestersday, havn't been on my bike much in the last couple years, doing the family thing, took it in for a WOF before Cold Duck and according to the WOF sheet its only done 2000k's in 18 months. Had fun with the pace that Lance set on the way home, touring tires on a sports bike not the best combination with the back wheel moving around a bit on a few corners, should prob check tire pressures too, been 18mths since I put tires on and that was the last time I checked tire pressure.
Speights_bud rides well for a little bike, got a bit worried when he wasn't still behind me at the end of one corner, turned round and went to look for him, he had stopped to check tires cos he thought he had a flat, it was a slippery corner under those trees.

Stories were told, everyone had a good laugh and a great time. I stayed sober and mingled to get everyone talking to people they don't know etc.

Would you believe my Dad let his best friend do a "William Tell" with an apple on Dad's head using a Dart while intoxicated...Now thats what I call a great friendship...Lucky to say that Uncle John missed Dads head....he also missed the apple too :yes:

Went and saw my bike as well...Col is doing a fantastic job on it!!! He is da man:Punk:

No rain here yesterday W. Serious now. Feeding out hay. Doesn't look to bad from the road or house and yes we are a bit green but there is no length in the grass.
Missed the ride yesterday. Looks like fun. Was that a TL in the photo? I recon I know who's bike that is. Should have been a few more bikes with it going at the legal limit for a closed road.

We are in Hamilton today. Back tonight. No in the cage. Grrrrrrrrr So where are we riding to tomorrow you lot?

[yungatart]

It was a great ride yesterday. I am slowly settling in to the different riding style of the Ninja. It feels very planted on the road, compared to the EL and it is soooo nice to be able to just twist the throttle to pass those slow vehicles.
Felt real good!!:yes:
I have moved the EL to the furtherest corner in the gargre....don't think I'll be riding it again.
Will just borrow hXc's Spada to do my full...I reckon he owes me that much (at least!)
Thanks guys!
Anyone riding this avo?

[Dooly]

Chilly out there folks today.

Just got home from a rather spirited blast into town.
Had to go into work and get something so thru a pack on the shoulders and took the Duc for a blast.
Lucky I was rugged up well, temp quite a bit lower than yesterday so far.

Stopped for gas in town, there was a guy and his woman, late 40s? on a fairly new Soft tail. I pulled up next to him, went to say gidday and the cunt ignored me! He looked away when we were paying for the gas too.
Shit like that rolls off me usually, but I really felt like putting one on his chin.
Ignorant bastard.
Yeah we all know not all Harley riders are as decent as Warwick, and some sprotsbikers can be wankers too, but man, for some reason it pissed me off.

Consolation tho, everyone at the gas station wanted to talk to me about the Duc, not his bike!
Maybe that was it........

Thats probably my lot for riding this weekend.
If you're out this way for a ride, we're here for a pitstop if you want, Warwick's got my number.

[yungatart]

Tossers like that are best ignored Dooly. As you say, maybe he was jealous of all the attention he wasn't getting - maybe, he wasn't getting anything else either!!!
As Warrick said to me yesterday, there's nothing as queer as folk....

[NZsarge]

Yeah ageed...does'nt cost a damn thing too be polite.

[James Deuce]

I recognise some of those people in that photo too!

Yep, been out in my paddocks today feeding hay out to the horses.
The few cows we have have enough to munch, they're still fat.
Looks like I'll get the water truck in next week to fill the tanks up as the bore/aquifer is low now, not pumping enough to compensate for what we are using and the backup rain water tank is low.........funny that, whats rain?

But then again, look how many weekends we've had out riding in a row......double edged sword huh, but thats the way it goes, and I'm not complaining.

[Grumpy]

I've got a day pass for tomorrow so I'm looking at going for a ride. No idea where at this stage, I tend to make it up as I go but I was looking at making it a bit earlier than the usual weekend time and taking off around 10.30 from the BP on Taradale road. Anyone else keen?

It will give me time to get the hay feed out and stuff and be free for a good relaxing ride. Or a demons out ride. Depends on a lota things really. :shit: :shutup:

What a fantabulous ride today. Wairoa this time. 3 cops on the road today - bit unusual, but cheers to all the cagers that flashed us. No tax today. Interesting with lots of livestock and the leavings of as well (fucking trucks dumping!!) and with the sun so low now a lot of damp areas. Only another month and the sun will start lifting again....doesn't seem possible that it is almost mid-winter. Roll on summer!

[Grumpy]

Yep, excellent ride. Cheers for the company today guys and gals. Couldn't think of a better way to use my day pass. Sorry I did a runner towards the end there. I was itching to get home to see my little girl.:love:

Thanks Carnalee for stoping and takeing some photos. I luved my short ride.:rockon:

Bacon a plenty on the road side along with the dead goats the live Goats sheep and Hawkes. Gota love that road. Nice to see you BigG. A bit of a surprise to look up and see your bike parked behind the rail. Sorry I couldn't stay but had things to get done. Had sat in the sun too long already :)

So Carnalee can you provide me with your details and no I won't stalk you I promise and Micro since you have been adopted (god knows why) can you provide your details and maybe donnas too?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Remember in W/puk when you said "it wouldn't look so blingy upside down.....well guess what...it does'nt:shit:

What pisses me off mate is if I tipped the Gixxer over no one would look at it. Every one looks at yours even when it is upside down.
If 200 people walked past the two, 190 would look at the H/D and 10 might see the Gixxer. Like in W/Puk. But if they were both upside down in the garden 200 would see the H/D and no one would see the Gixxer. So you can stop showing off............:shutup: .....................

Yea, What she said. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We will make sure the note book goes on the rides so if the worst ever happened we would have contact details. We can also send out Emails for non planned rides. This list will stay private and only be used for emergency contacts and some ride details. We will always use Blind Carbon copies when spamming you with ride details. What details are you wanting Chicky?

You should also have a number in your Cell phone called I.C.E. Put your main contact details in that. Home phone partners (wife hubby ) cell etc. I.C.E stands for

In case of Emergency

[Stickchick]

Email addresses, mobile numbers, home addresses please and if you want to provide me with the ICE numbers then thats cool if not, then thats also all good.

Ummm Just a question to the others that filled with Fuel in Wairoa.....have any of you had problems with how your bike is running?
Mary and I had the bike missing when we got to Raupunga, on the way home on Monday, and after the down hill on the Napier side of Raupunga it died. As we were going down hill it came back to life. Went well after that till the down hill on the devils elbow. Good going up the hill but shity going down. Been out to night and it was fine except for one spot where it missed a few times but came back to life with a bit of right hand turning.
Could just be my bike. Well over due to have the plugs done etc but if other have had problems it could be the fuel.

I would think you can sit on da Gixxer. If you want. And it is going.
You will have to get up to speed with riding quickly. You will be a long way away in Hastings and might miss a ride or two.

Where I'm moving too I'm only ten minutes away from work. I currently get to work either by lift or bus. I have a plan for not missing the rides until Colapop gets my bike up here which we have finally got a definite date...21st July. So I have plenty of time to keep bugging you hehehe :yes:

I'll just stay at Auntys place on a friday night, as at the moment I have to do the same for Darts on a Tuesday too. As people keep telling me where there is a will there is a way.

Also moving away from where everyone is is also making me try harder to get on the road so I'm mobile and can visit without replying on someone. There was method in my madness.

Thank you Janet. I didn't think you did.

I have to cos I end up empty with the bike at home. It is hard to justify the Gixxer as a work bike so can't us farm fuel. Wounder how it would go with a mub tyre on it? :innocent:

Cool all good. You will have to come out often to get the practise. You might have to talk to Janet and see if she will lend you her 250 so you can learn on the road out here once you have the basic's on the farm.

All you say is true. I can claim the fuel as a tax deductible item, for sure. Cost of running a business and all but we farmers are very special people and we can claim our road user charges back on fuel used on the farm in our bikes and ute etc. So I can't use that fuel in the bike cos it is wearing out da road and Aunty Helen needs every cent to maintain the roads to a very high standard to stop us from having accidents. Sure I could put it down as private use but that makes paper work. And Mary Mooo has too much of that already. So she said on the weekend. :dodge:

Was not fussed with twin city when they put tyres on the wrong way. Was not fussed with them when i could get tyres couried down from Auckland $180.00 cheaper than they wanted to sell tyres.

Remember we discussed the bad service at Twin City last weekend. Well they have changed names. I assume owners.

We had a bike to pickup today so I got my brother to pick it up this morning. Get this they couldn't accept our normal payment method. :angry2: He had to pay with his credit card. :shit: So I have staff paying our bills now. Better get it sorted you guys or there will be no business left.

That explains alot.....thought the hassle I was having trying to buy a new bike was weird to say the least. Still go by my original statement that the dealings I have had with Lee of the Parts Dept were first rate...most obliging chap. He even tracked me down and rang me at home one night to tell me the gear I had ordered was no longer available through their normal sources but he had managed to get us a similar product elsewhere at a cheaper price. Can only hope the new owners get their act together.....sounds like that wont be too easy. Cheers W

Yep Lee is really good. He is in contact with Speights_Bud over a tyre that I ordered 4 weeks ago. He seems to be on to it.
Hope the rest of them get it sorted.

Hahah That happened to me when I got this bike from Whitlock Suzuki in Wanganui. Along with a few other problem the rear was put on the wrong way.

:Oops: I have put them on the wrong way myself on my bike and Speights_buds bike. :o

Never passed the point of blowing them up but had to take it off and turn it round.
