Good ride today, Classic Club.
Once we got past the oldies, was all good.
Led the way up Whakapirau thru to Te Onepu, then Robbie led, was a good fast ride, Robbie, Grant, me and some other who I dont know on a VTR, left the pack and went for it.
Stopped at Te Aute pub waited for the rest to catch up.
Then off down Te Aute trust rd/Middle Rd/Clubrooms for cordial.
Mucho fun.

I would but saw ftl1's post too late, already posted to leave Vegas at 10:30 so i'd better stick to it incase someone decides to join me, must say for such a freakin' nice day it's been a non-response, ah well, I guess i'll be enjoying middle road by myself.

[demondave]

Does any one know whats happening with the BF ride today?

[BigG]

What an awesome ride yesterday, was a bit cool first thing but a good day weather wise, Thanks to Warrick and Donna, Steve and Mary, Dale and Kate, Rob, Mark, Lance, Wayne, Collin, Dave, Darren for turning up. That is an awesome museum they have down there brought bvack some memoreis it did.
Good paced ride for all involved, comment on the way back was " I dont ride this fast dureing the day cos it aint half dark" That was on our return down 50 last night thanks for leading them Dale.
Had one problem with a Kawasaki droping its nuts well gear shift bolt, but we jerry fixed it. Hope you had a good day at Manfeild when you left us you guys. We cleaned the Levin RSA up at 8 ball so HB rule food was ok but not what we thought, we thought we were having Lunch.
Video will be up later, it will be splitt into many segmants as I had a few problems, (didnt tighten up the thumb screw and I had a bit of bounce):done:

So thats what held you guys up. I thought the worst when the chasing pack dissapeared from my headlights :shit:. I got out of the winedy stuff, slowed down and eventually stopped. Turned around fearing the worst, road for quite a few k's before coming across you guys. Just really relieved to find was a mechanical fault, not an off.

It was a great day though. Great company from all involved and a bit of a laugh at the RSA. Did WC need many stops on the way back home???? :lol:

I am pleased to say that the grip warmers work a treat :niceone: just need to sort the toes out :cold:

Had thought of going up to Tarawera for a cold one - but Morepower said it might rain and we should decide tomorrow - I'm still keen on Tarawera. (Yes I have text Richard Mc F also)

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Hmmm All things being equal I might head up to the Rangitaiki Lodge on the Taupo road for lunch on Saturday. Will check with PK but hope to leave at 11.00 from Bay View. Should be a cracker day. Anyone else interested?

We could swap head sets Dale

[Dooly]

We should do Porangahau for lunch one day too.

[crazyhorse]

Yes, that is on the cards too - we just seem to be going the same way most times, I want a bit of a change - but will decide tomorrow at the mobil - after we see whether the sky is blue, grey or pink with pokka dots LOL

[v8s&2wheels]

Anyone in here a car mechanic by any chance? Should not being asking that at all. But need a hand with the mrs passenger suspension. Any qualified mechanic help would be well appreciated and payed for in cash.

Let us know when you plan that one, could be keen.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Great ride to 287. Da rain looked to close for the Taupo road so we went North. Good food and good company. 4 bikes went north.
I hate the SV set-up. Nice for riding two up with the panniers but a bit quicker ride with that set-up is not nice. Will have to soften the rear and firm up the front.
Hope you all got a great ride today.

[BigG]

Got smacked at Golf so I suppose its back to riding for a while

I don't think I have meet you, so Welcome to K/B. Did you get any rain today? We looked west and then went North :laugh:

[grantnz]

Headed to Tarawera, but got cold and started to drizzle, so turned back to Glengary Rd. A bit agricultural with quite a bit of cowshit and the odd patch of gravel. Then to Puketapu pub via Applely Rd. Then a quiet ride to Classic Club for a bourbon.

[Dooly]

Bloody bacon making their prescence felt on the Taupo rd again today.
Fortunately none of us helped their quota.
First time on Glengarry for me, interesting.
Good ride.
Good to see TonyW on his new comfy sofa :msn-wink::clap:.

Hello all,

Another ride on today for those interested.....

Meet BP Bay view at 11am. Going to Cafe 287 for lunch.

Not sure if I'll be on this one or not - domestic duties!!!!! :cry: :cry:

Was a great ride yesterday - despite the :Police: , gravel and cow poop LOL

Hope we didn't scare you off Tony W :innocent:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

We had a good feed there yesterday but at $19.00 for an all day breaky with tea for one I have to ask if it is good value. Yes plenty on the plate so you get up full and happy but $19.00?
Have a good ride as that road is in top condition. Clean and shingle free.
Lots of Goats, we came to a standstill as they crossed the road, and turkeys on the road yesterday with one sheep added to the mix. One bacon at Tangoio.
It is going to be another cracker day. Off to buckets with the youngest son. To have a look and maybe inspire him to finish his bike………………….

Might have time to go for a pootle late morn early arvo, prob HW50, Patangata etc.
Anyone out this way on such a glorious day is welcome to stop for a pitstop.

[grantnz]

Need to do stuff at home too, so would be keen on a tootle this arvo.
021 792633. Cheers.

[crazyhorse]

Not sure if I'll do the ride - am cleaning windows at the moment - energetic aye!!!!

Might make a trip on the SV to the Puketapu for another one of their amazingly yummy burgers - and then out to where ever - so will text you if you want to come - not sure what time yet

[RDjase]

Buckets and Motards on today at Roys Hill Kart track, racing from 11am, worth a look if any one is out that way

[grantnz]

Uploaded some old pics last nite, have a look at my album if you want a chuckle.

[Dooly]

How about HW50/Tiko, cross to Ypawa, Patangata for a munch, say leave my place at 12.30 163 Tait Rd HW50.
Yeah I know, short notice but I've only got 3 hrs max to spare.

[stormy1]

Was a great ride to Cafe 287 today. 5 Bikes but I was the only KB there. Came across some hogs on the way home through the twisty stuff and they didnt want to let us past and took up all the bloody road, didnt even pull across at passing bays. Got past them on the start of the flats to Tongoio. All in all a good ride. Im due for ANOTHER back tyre. Would be under 5000k on this one. I guess two up riding does make a difference. Will try a Michellin Pilot Road 2 this time I think. To date, 2 Diablo Rosso's, 1 Conti Road attak and i havent evenhad the bilke a year!

It is not the fault of the tyres Mr Stormy…… The pilot R2 are good.

You were so close you should have dropped in for the ear piece and a coffee mate.

Buckets were good. A nice track they have out there. Martin is back on track and hopes to have the bucket finished for October the 4th. That should be fun and I can see some nice days in the sun out there.

Nice to see you at the track Alvin. :wari: That Gixxer is a show bike now mate. Well done that man :Punk:

Last time I entered there he charged me $14 for me Rum and coke

Think I can recall 8 bucks for a bottle of Corona.

Must be why he aint that busy and its for sale.
We turned up yesterday about 1.15 and were the only ones there.

But its still a good port of call eh.

[one fast tl1ooo]

When he first took over the pub, all his prices were sky high, but he realised that if he wanted customers, then he had to come down to reality, and has now put his prices in line with other pubs - still not the cheapest by far, but much better:done:

[robertydog]

Great ride to 287. Da rain looked to close for the Taupo road so we went North. Good food and good company. 4 bikes went north.
I hate the SV set-up. Nice for riding two up with the panniers but a bit quicker ride with that set-up is not nice. Will have to soften the rear and firm up the front.
Hope you all got a great ride today.

The ride was a good. Getting to grips with the bike and im hoping it wont be to long before i have that suspension dialed in. Rear tyre aint lasting to well so i better start hunting around for some rubber.

Five Star have done Pilot Powers for $479 fitted for my last 3 sets on the Ducati. Got 7200 km from last rear, the TLR would shred them between 3500 and 5000 km. That includes trackdays and quiet Sat rides from Mobil Taradale. TLR was heavy though, and Duc puts the power down better. Last set at that price was April 09

Was talking to them last week. They had put pilot road 2CT on my gsxr, these tyres are so awesome. Said they can do $550 for a set of pilot road 2ct. Not sure what others are offering but that seems pretty cheap for a long wearing sticky tyre.

You can’t compare the Pilot sport with the pilot Road2. Very different tyre and the PR2 is a new technology and the Sport have been around for yonks. The sport is a good tyre but will wear out quick. I have one on the SV. 3k and well over half worn. Most of that has been genteel riding 2 up.

Steve the buggas have new kit in those vans . Works on a very low power off frequency K band so most detectors will struggle now , no more half a Km warning :crybaby:
To have any chance you have to turn K band and POP on , at least you get to hear every automatic door again !

Unlike the speed cameras that we have been used to (which operated on the Ka band frequency) these new cameras operate on a low frequency K Band signal around the 24.085GHz range (normally K band radar is 24.150GHz).

Because of this “off” frequency point and a very low power output, detection is difficult for many radar units. Those without pulse detection systems are unlikely to give any warning. Those with K POP detection will give some warning range that is variable depending on what side of the road the Camera Van is parked on.

Funny that, but I know 2 people with those models, plus have seen 2 riding around Hastings..........plus with yours and your bosses...........how many did they make?
Sure seems a lot here in the Bay.
I know theres lots of Gixxers out there but so many specials here?

Common as muck BigG would say..........:lol::msn-wink:

This is what ive been told/know.

There are 30 of these special editions in NZ.
You get a certificate saying what number yours is and all that rubbish.
Apparantly the special editions are the only k7 model that came in orange and black scheme. (for NZ) - you can get the scheme outside of nz but its not a special edition and doesnt have carbon fibre goodies etc.
They have all these carbon fibre parts on them.

So me thinks they were a standard black and orange scheme. Got them into NZ, chucked on some carbon fibre here and there, gave you some fancy special edition shit and a certificate and theres only 30 of them.

Thats the best I can understand it.

Funnily enough.........saw one go past down Karamu Rd about 15 mins ago.

No sorry we own the roads here, you need a special pass.
And we don't condone exceeding the 100kph rule.:yes:

Oh yeah, forgot.............you pass.:yes:

Ride to be confirmed yet, but I guess it will be in the next day or so.

Rob's keen for Porangahau too, so guess see what other options turn up maybe.

Were you outside barrys? I was just in hastings for about 30 minutes.

You can. :yes:

[Dooly]

Musta been you then, and no was further up the road into town.

[v8s&2wheels]

Musta been you then, and no was further up the road into town.

Yeah, either that or hawkesbay has half of the special editions by the sounds of it lol

[Dooly]

Yeah, either that or hawkesbay has half of the special editions by the sounds of it lol

Or else you're the only one and are never off your bike.:yes:

[v8s&2wheels]

Or else you're the only one and are never off your bike.:yes:

That sounds like a pretty reasonable explanation. Its too cold to go off to taupo or wellington for the day so I do spend a bit of time riding around napier and hastings and getting little things done

[Morepower]

Yep it gives you 50 meters so ya got to be quick.
Worse than that , found a van on the expressway this morning, I had both detectors with me and a bit of time. 1st pass with the Bel STI was worse than useless , went off as I passed the van. The second with the escort X50 was just useless , you would have had the time to smile as it took the photo.
May as well turn off K band and just concentrate on staying at 100kmh :innocent:

[crazyhorse]

........and just concentrate on staying at 100kmh :innocent:

Boring..................!!! :yawn::yawn::yawn:

Cheers Dooly, Manawatu crew is looking at a 10:00 to 10:30ish departure with views to arrive at a similar time. I've got my doubts whether i'll be there with them as I have to go to Anza's first thing in the morning and i'm not sure what time i'll be able to get away, so if can get away at a reasonable hour i'll be taking a more direct route. Hopefully i'll catch y'all there.
