Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[schado]

Seafield Rd, Bayview
Tomorrow
Organised by Pacific MCC
Sausage sizzle etc
Free transport up the hill for spectators
Not sure of other details, but someone who can help you will be along soon... Can I still win if someone helps me with free transport up the hill? :rolleyes:

I mustn't be too clever, so that might be why I'm asking this next question: road or dirt bike hillclimb? (or do I need hiking boots and some climbing ropes?)

:eek5:Whare the heck have you been for the last few weeks. If Rob mentioned hill climb it wouldnt be on the dirt. Sea Feild road Fast and Furious take your bike along and it will cost you $40 if all places have not been taken, if I had the 600 I would give it a go but the old ace is like me to heavy and to old for a sprint.:baby:

[robertydog]

Suppose i should go sort out the bike.




Oh bugger it. I will just turnup and take a gentile cruise.

[Dooly]

Im in Wellington for the weekend. Have had a good look around the bike shops, have'nt been tempted by anything yet. Mind you theres a sweet 1098 with a fancy exhaust in one place that is very tempting!!!:lol:
Can't make it tommorrow.
Best of luck tommorrow for those that compete.

Those tards sure look good with the road rubber on.
John's Honda especially looks the part.

Went for fang down to Danevegas late arvo and the day was cracka
Got passed rather close and personal by a new type of Mitsi Sedan full of out of town f..rs that must have been doing 200ks on the Takapau planes
As I have no pursuit license I headed back home via the old 50....:oi-grr:

Off up to Rangateiki up near Iwitahi early morn for a fish in the local creek
so no bikeys for me tomorow

[speights_bud]

Now now U2 make sure wat you test ride aint got skirts and high boots for
traction........................:clap:

Gidday GMcC, my names paddy, Btw everyone around here knows i'll ride anything :lol::rofl::clap:

i had distant thoughts of trying a new R1 if i went looking, but alas got busy with other stuff :weep:

[schado]

Hm "BP" - imagine if I went to the wrong one. Mind you, I could turn it into a "BP Run 4 1" event... unless of course you wanna let me know which one? BV-BP? :chase:

[fridayflash]

hillclimb tmw then? beauty! me,wickle and azza1600 and probly my brother
on his gb500 will be there about 10ish...hey schado are you the guy
i met at patangata with john&janet? blue rf? swedish geezer? i was riding
an old gsx750 and told you about my rf.

[Grumpy]

Oops, sorry 'bout that. Wondered why there was no one there when I got there. I was meaning BP Taradale road. I haven't had been able to get out on the bike much lately so I just assumed the Sat meeting place was still the same. My bad.

No probably not. The Swedish Geezers name is Jan. RF 900. Nice blue colour. Lives in Napier. I think his name here is Sweed but he is never online. I dropped in to his place yesterday so he is still around. Needs new rubber for the bike. He took my Gixxer out for a ride on Saturday and wants one. hahahahaha. Imagine what he would think of the R1 or W's Gixxer. :lol:

[BigG]

With the amount of guys that we have in this area if we were all to get together for a ride it would be awesome, wonder if we could organise a poker run with a bit of a difference for all us localk bods.:headbang:

:mad:Blue Swede? LOL Umm nope. NZ Green !!! :headbang:

But it would be cool to meet someone else with an RF locally. For a bike that everyone seems to have owned and loved... I don't see any around at all. (saw one in P.North a couple of days ago, first and last other RF I've seen in real life - other than mine every single day 2 minutes after I wake up !!!:rolleyes:)

[schado]

Yep yep yep yep..... :clap:

[fridayflash]

thanks steve,i must give jan a ring,ive got his number, was hoping to
do a bit of a ride comparo..i think my rf is a tad sluggish but would
like to sample another one side by side before i delve in further..

[schado]

Well, I made my way to the BP, sat on the little lawn like a biker-garden-gnome & waited from 1:15pm till 1:45pm :( ... and 2% of Napier's driving population got to see 'Schado No Friends' drinking a redbull but not growing wings.

But in saying that, I popped out to the hillclimb event twice and fully appreciate why no one wanted to waste their time riding around the same damn block again lol.

I might have to enter that event next year. Hopefully by then I will be able to corner with my knee less that two feet away from the ground hehehe. Some amazing rides... I wish I could had a vantage point where I could have seen each bike do the whole track... cos some of them were fair fanging it !!!

Oh MOTORBIKES :drool: - I love em!!!

Yeah, that event sounds great. I like to go to everything I can, so long as I can afford it. It would be cool to meet up with another RF owner for sure. Compare? Well I'm not sure that it's a good time for that. After a short little ride today I noticed that my temp guage isnt going past the 'cold' marker, even though the bike shoure be hotter. So that worries me a little in that it won't engage the fan when needed. So, I will have to investigate that from my none mechanic pint of view and see if I can resolve that.

[robertydog]

Well done the hill climb today. I need a bike with not so much grunt. That rear wheel likes going sideways. Front wheel going sky ways.
About 35 bikes having a hoon today and everyone pretty much had smiles trying to better there times. They put on an awesome BBQ and had burgers and bangers to purchase. They sold out of them burgers.

So ive added a video clip where you will see me sky ways and sideways. Would of been a good time if that didnt happen.

I know he considered it, but decided his future lay with a Ural. :innocent: None of those cheap Chinese copies for our Rob.

[GMcC]

ummmmm that was one of my slower runs. Got 183 up on that hill.:clap:

Great going on that blue beasty Rob !
Would half a tin of solvent on both hoops have made a difference :shutup:
For traction I mean

[robertydog]

I certainly needed something on the back. Front was all good.

Just to add. A lot of bikes were having grip problems due to a number of reasons. It appears that is the danger with waiting around and then going hard on cold tyres, on roads with dirt, poos and anything else that a country road can come up with. Oh and freshly painted white lines.:bash:

[GMcC]

For all those users of the beloved Hwy50 you may be pleased (or not) to hear that negotiations are underway with landowner to realign and get rid off the
" Glencoe Dip "
This is an area south of Tait Rd at the end of a bumpy staright and Im sure very familar to a certain Mr Dooly:sweatdrop
They have done the survey work and will start in the near future !
According to the local farming gossip network ( busy pack of chaps ! )
Also the narrow 1 way swingbridges inplace are to be replaced with 2 way
thingys - after the dip jobbie
I feel that this distracts from 50s uniqueness:crybaby:
Napier will become the direct route via our 50 so this will mean more traffic
esp. furkn trucks :bash:
Not sure that this is progress really

Mite be in for the Saturday one mate, heavy bookings on my time at the moment.

Going out to Mutiny Road tonight to look at a 250 for my son.

[Dooly]

What type of 250?
Get one that will maintain 100kph easy.

[NZsarge]

GSX 250's are a great wee bike, sweet as on the open road.

[schado]

:2thumbsup:Punk::ride:

[stormy1]

What type of 250?

Looking at of all things a Hyosung 250. Some love them, some hate them. Some have no problems, some have heaps so who knows. Good looking small sportsbike tho. I would like to be looking at a new/newish Kawasaki Ninja 250 but at just on $8k they are a bit steep, great looker tho. Have looked at older 250's of various makes and they still fetch good prices even going back to the early 90's!

The boys a fan of the sportsbike styling as well so narrows the field.

[Dooly]

We need an 'Isle Of Man' type road-race event here in NZ I think. One that makes us world famous and attracts amateur and pro bike racers from all over. I give my vote to the road that goes right around Lake Taupo!!!

Can anyone here make that happen before this coming weekend please? If so, I'm in for a ride :2thumbsup:Punk::ride:

Yep, all done.
Leave from BP Bayview Friday morn. If we're not there, go ahead, we wont be far behind.:buggerd::lol:

Hi All

Dan and I are heading down your way to watch my Grandad march in his Anzac Day Parade. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to stay at my Aunties place and I am wanting to surprise Grandad so Gixxer 4 Ever has kindly allowed us to stay at his.

In light of this Steve and Mary Moo are allowing me to have a few drinks up at their place on Saturday night. Would love to catch up with you all if you can make it.

Also I believe that Dan is wanting to see the good roads in the HB if you guys are also keen.

I think he learnt his lesson since he has only JUST got his license back...but being the Bad Man that he is...I'm sure that he really doesn't want his license to be completely squeaky clean.

[speights_bud]

Paddy's 150 will do 200 with a tail wind, maybe we do some tinkering.

tehehe, if i have a bike when they organise another one i'll definatly give it a crack, seems like a very short run though :(

Home track advantage, hmmm? I know for a fact that there will be more hill climbs, or at least a sprint event on a windy road. A wee birdy has said as much...

Yeah its always interesting when you're in a group with such huge speed differences.
I thought the guys on the old classics we passed a few times held their line well, but some of the guys on the modern cruisers were all over the show.
But yeah as you said, our group tends to gel well, and give each other space.

No we didn't - although it did look like it was gonna piss down. only a few spits. Quick pace. I love it! Did you turn back at the summit?

[robertydog]

Some of us stayed there for a while had a drink and something to eat. Then headed back. Was all good. My first BF ride.

[crazyhorse]

They've never had that many bikes turn up before - so quite a shock. Guess that's why it kinda went from organised to who knows where.....

If we'd gone on to Rangitikei, we would've all needed fuel to get home again, so we changed plans as we left. But it was a good ride all the same. Might catch you at the next one at the end of May.

There's a group of us that ride Saturdays - leave Mobil, Taradale Road. Meet at 1.

Not really slow riders either :niceone:

Two bikes made it to Rangitikei.

There was light drizzel, No customers and several Dirt bikes ripping it up through the forestry.

Cant understand the need to stop every few kms though. :msn-wink:

No, not hiding. Been selling Goats and cattle cos there is not enough feed for them. Then my uncle went in to hospital for a hip replacement so Mike, my brother, and I are looking after him for the next few weeks. I will escape this place in time and get back to riding.

Mind you I was riding over to Hasting to see my uncle most nights last week and I was amazed how many times the radar detector showed me of the pending problems. Every night and sometime two different pig pens. Must be a dangerous road that road to Hastings.

The price of fuel will go down now Rob is not using it all. ;)

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Oh, and the Cam Chain Tensioner ( CCT ) has let the cam chain come loose in the Gixxer. This is the second OEM one so I Emailed A.P.E in the states and ordered a manual one from them on Wednesday. It arrived in my mail box on Monday. How fin good is that. :hug:

A group of us from here did that ride late last year (some only managed to do half ... no names mentioned eh Dooly :whistle:)

Yes it is an awesome ride and would be very keen to do it again :yes:

[NZsarge]

Don't get me wrong though, nothing wrong with Bandits just not my cuppa tea is all, let us know when the FZ1 arrives, i'll come for a looksee, I had a "06 FZ1 S, enjoyed the bike a lot, not perfect mine but there is no such bike...

You boys are soft cocks!!!

I'm still gonna get out there - may not do the Porongahau road :argh: (due to how wet the road will be), but will find a pub some where in the middle of nowhere. And who cares if I get a bit of rain... motorcyclists aren't just sunny day riders - or are they???? Nah, not me. :yes: It's drying up abit out there now.

Have fun doin your chores or whatever..... I'm out there - yahoooo

[schado]

Hmm The metservice weather forcast for Taupo is "Fine with south or southeast wind." But Napier's forcast is "Cloudy, few showers. Southerlies.".

So I imagine that things will fine up once we are on the way. I'm gonna show up anyway, and see if anyone else has the kahuna's to do so also. Yay !!! An other good ride coming up right about now.

On my scooter right now. :woohoo:

Naa no soft cock here lady;). Maybe after a doz or two but....
Ridden in all kinds a shit.
For me its about enjoying the ride in the limited amount of spare time I have.
Its pissing down where I am, I can't see the fun in sliding around at a slower speed than normal, just to say I rode and am a hard man:sweatdrop.
But I am working on one of my bikes so its a bike related day:niceone:.

Enjoy your ride.

We went out Seafield Road - stopped at Puketapu, then did lunch at Chook n Filly - road was dry as around there - down Tiko road to Patangatah - bit of rain (lots of slides - cool fun), then back to Loading Ramp.

Each to their own - you all missed an opportunity :woohoo:

[stormy1]

Going to leave it up to Dooly to sort tomorrows ride out. 2 bereavements in the family in 3 days.

Nup couldn't have been me :confused:

That was a good but somewhat stressful ride lol. If life expectancy is measured in heartbeats then I lost 6months yesterday :doctor:

As for today... I might be up for spending another tank of 98 octane on a bit of tail-light chasing... add a few more km to my riders-log. (nearly did a few of those in the wet :doh:)

Time/Place? :scooter:

[schado]

Weather forecast suggests south.
Porangahau or Waimarama for lunch via Onga?
Then wherever after?

Who's in?

Meet at my road or house on HW50 at say, 11.30?

Edit: My house is on Tait Rd, 3kms past chook & Filly on right, 163.
For those that don't know.

[BigG]

Anybody got a decent chain breakI borrowed one off Barry's last time and bent the pin so i was wondering if there was somebody else's I could bend.
