Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[yungatart]

.... certainley flattens your Spirit cant get over this one for some reason.

Aye, it does that, G.
We're here, if we can help just let us know.

[schado]

Sadly... I can't make it to the BURGERFUEL RUN @ 10am today










(TUI AD) :Punk::wari:

[BigG]

The bloke that lost his Life on Middle Road as I say was not one of our riders but was one of us. The President of The Warriors club was having a good chat to them before they left seemed a nice group I dont no if it was his partner but a lady with them suffered a broken arm I am told..

[BigG]

Start of our ride from Hastings.

This is not what we want on our Rides.

[MSTRS]

After such a perfect day for riding, it was sad indeed to hear that someone didn't get home. Take care out there, everyone.

[Spyke]

RIP, sad to hear this.

[BigG]

Harley's dont brake down do they, just as well Japo's can fix em.:laugh:

[stormy1]

Its the same as you would remember it, the State has taken over the Road now so should see it sealed all the way in about 2030 HaHaHa

No we havent. Still a Hastings District Council Road!

[BigG]

No we havent. Still a Hastings District Council Road!It was suppose to happen in April, bugger it would be a nice loop when finished

[schado]

Lucky for us... whilst we were riding back from Wairoa a gunman :2guns: shot one man dead, shot and injured a boy, left the scene, rolled his car and then hijacked an old couples ute. AOS and other police have been choppered in, and the main trunk from Napier to Wairoa is closed.

So, we're lucky to have made it through, and lucky not to have bumped into a whole fleet of armed coppers

Hey George - watched the vid n that

Same with us in the cage. Came through Wairoa around 2.30 and came across the 1st police around Waihua, saw a helicopter, ambulance and 2 police cars at Tutira and then another 5 police cars on the way. Had to wait at the 2/5 intersection for armed police to wave us thru to get home. Road now closed between Raupunga and the 2/5 intersection so we lucky to have got home.

Well I for one am happy to have them around as we are in the area. I take exception to this Schado. This is not play time and people are dead. We have experienced this sort of thing first hand and we live in the closed road area. Hope it doesn’t happen again or to one of the police on duty. Give these police some respect for they are putting their lives on the line for the rest of us……………. Yes I am angry that you have the nerve to post like this……………… up yours……….

If you had second thoughts about your posting you should have removed it.

EDIT I feel a lot angrier than I can put on here about this posting……………..

[crazyhorse]

I do feel for you Steve. Not nice knowing there is a guy out there who is locked in by the road blocks. Hope the catch him soon.

The Burger Fuel ride was great. Road lovely and dry. Quiet trundle to Wairoa and back - might've been abit slow for some, but was nice all the same. Bike lacked horsepower :shit: But the SV did well today.:Punk:

Sure has been an eventful weekend for Hawkes Bay.

Are you allowed in or out mate ? Don't envy them trying to look for the guy thats a big wild area.

One we don't want repeated in all respects , Lets be careful out there

[Gixxer 4 ever]

We are at home. I can live with this sort of thing as we have experienced it before. As you might know but I take exception to this moronic comment about the Police who put their lives on the line for us.

Cheers Dave.

Classic case of typing with brain disengaged I suspect. I have mates on the Force , always a worry when there is stuff like this going on.

I too have lost a good friend whilst doing his job (and another one was shot a couple of years ago too). We don't need to risk lives in this senseless manner. Maybe this gunman will turn on himself like Jan Molenaar did in the end.

Stay safe guys :)

I hear what you are saying too Steve

Seeing that I don’t actually know you, I can’t see why it would be your intention to take my post out of context. As you should have noticed, I was referring to us as a group of riders being lucky not to have bumped into a fleet of cops - most likely full of adrenalin and packing heat - coming the other way whilst we were all enjoying our usual '101km/h riding' on our way back from Wairoa :shit: And lucky not to have been stuck inside the cordens 'on our bikes' of all things.

The tosser emoticon is a direct dig at traffic enforcement, and not some needle poking far king voodoo wish !!! I have seen loads of derogatory references to Police traffic enforcement in this thread and throughout Kiwi biker, so why the sudden ‘growling’ for me I don’t know! I’m sorry that you took offense to what I posted, but not sorry that I posted what I did. This is a matter of error in contextual judgement on your part. I did nothing wrong !!!

Do I hope that the police catch the murderous, child shooting, car jacking terrorist? Absolutely and without question.

Thanks for the reply. As GMcC said, A time and place. I guess we will never understand each other. Highlighted by the fact that you don’t understand why I was upset and I don’t understand how you could have posted that comment when people are dead.

There is a difference between traffic cops sitting in bushes to catch you at 101kmh and Police risking their lives to save others with guns etc involved. I guess we will just agree to disagree.

Maybe I have to look at the way I speak of Traffic cops. After all, without them, we could not ride for fear of being run over.

Have a great day everyone.

[Dooly]

I turned my scanner on for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday, and caught it all on the airwaves.
It was very interesting to listen to the operation being run and what was going down.

The bloke shot took 4 .223 bullets to the chest, he was always a goner, the kid a flesh wound.

They said the offender's rap sheet to all the Police on board.
History of family violence, arson, assaults, armed offences, and a REVOKED firearms licence.

Glad they got the maggot.

[crazyhorse]

I for one am glad the situation has been resolved, so people can continue on their daily routine. We came accross a bus driver yesterday who couldn't collect the workers at the mill, nor drop off the next shift.

Shame it occurred in the first place. What is happening to our little Hawkes Bay :no:

[yungatart]

Glad its all resolved...I admit to being worried about you guys, Steve, glad to hear you are all okay:sunny:

[one fast tl1ooo]

wow what a bad weekend for HB, glad thing's are back to normal for some of us.

[BigG]

Getting on to good things an astonishing Moto GP this morning I think it pays to stay on line. Another good thing got me tyre scrubbed in all I have to do now is replace all my brake pads, chain sprockets, oil and filter. :soon:

[Morepower]

looks like a great weekend coming up , looking at long range forecast. For those not going to cold kiwi , I may do a bit of a ride saturday anyone welcome to tag along , more detail later.

Sounds good.:Punk:

[Dooly]

Well, the Classic Club ride on Sat was a bit ho-hum.

Did'nt really get going and by the time you got past the oldies we were at the first stop, Puketap Pub. Then just a short blast to the clubrooms after that.

How was the ride to Wairoa on the BF run?
The usual crew?

Could'nt make the kickoff in time for that.

[Dooly]

Seems the guy shot yesterday while you guys were riding past was a patched mobster.

Thanks for your post also. I do understand what you are saying, but am still left wondering whether you would have reacted as you did to my post, had YOU not lived within the cordon area. I suspect not. And seeing that I had no idea that anyone in this thread lived within that cordon I never thought a need for special sensitivity.

The time: I posted just after we had ridden (at 101km/h) in the very location where the incident occurred, attracting the very organisation that we, as riders, all try so very hard to avoid whilst out riding. I was referring to a ‘WHEW!!!’ moment.

The place: ‘KiwiBiker Hawkes Bay Weekend Rides’ thread. A place which could be considered by some as being a modern-day ‘party-line’ where we all get to converse casually and freely about riding in the Hawkes Bay on the Weekend.

I would hope that someone on here understood and understands my intent. I'm starting to wonder wheter I should wear my helmet in here as well as on rides. :blink:

[MSTRS]

That's the problem with the written word....
Makes sense to the writer. The reader, however, can take a totally different meaning and react according to their (flawed?) understanding.

Yannis your ok but some of us are sensative to some of those smilies. These Guys and Gals will bend over backwards to help one another out, so normaly if something is posted up that is not apropriate to the reader you will get flak. Its like John posted up (MSTRS) the writer and the reader.
No need to whare your helmit on this site, well you can but we cant see you :laugh::laugh::laugh:

How was the ride to Wairoa on the BF run?

Could'nt make the kickoff in time for that.

It was a good turn out with 15 bikes, 3 being 2-up. Some new riders too, (good to see you Charlied1). It was a slow ride, which was nice (between 120-140km). Road conditions were great. Nice dry roads and no gravel or shit on it either.

No incidents (thank goodness) except for a mother and her ducklings crossing the road infront of a group of riders on the way back, but all ended good there, albeit on the wrong side of the road trying to avoid them, but no feathers flew (phew).

Got back to Burger Fuel for a burger and prize giving thanks to Five Star Suzuki. :first:

Great day for it - shame you (and Morepower missed it :rofl)

[Dooly]

It was a slow ride, which was nice (between 120-140km)

Wow, that is slow, were you ill?:laugh:

Mind you, speed kills, 100kph's the rule girl!:msn-wink::spanking:

Glad it was a good one, have'nt been up that way since BF ride months ago.

How come you took the SV?:shit:

Oh dear.
Was it a 18 or 20'' crescent she used to undo the sump plug?:girlfight::2thumbsup
Hopefully all sorted for Cold Kiwi then?

Yeah is always good to have a backup if circumstances allow you.
Cos when something breaks on one, it does'nt stop ya from riding!:Punk:

[one fast tl1ooo]

No was not her fault, Some one in the past had been a bit rough,
all fixed now, ready for the cold kiwi

Allow me to tell the full story.....

Yes, me being stubborn, :innocent: I wanted to learn to do it myself (how else do you learn). I changed the spark plugs under the watchful eye of one slow tl1000.... (he he he) and all was well. I proceeded to drain the oil, attached the new filter, when one slippery tl1000 (oh, sorry Todd, fingers slipped on keyboard) proceeded to undo the sump bung (can't blame me!). Anyway, when the time came to re-insert it - it would not tighten as the previous owner had obviously had trouble with it in the past and added another washer - hence too much strain on it (or so I'm informed by those who know more than me - yes, it is possible). Craig from Five Star said there are only so many times you can remove the bung due to the alloy construction, before something like this happens. They put in a helicoil (I call it a helicopter - sounds funnier) and its now all fixed :yes:

So.... there! I had to pull out the SV and it was fun actually. After the weekend's road toll, it was deemed to be a slower ride, and everyone rode quieter than normal.

[one fast tl1ooo]

:innocent: BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

[Dooly]

Ok, we'll let you off CrazyH.:laugh:

Its not unknown for that to happen to modern alloys.

so next time I hope the helicore does come out with the bung like happened to me!

[Charlied1]

It was a good ride on Sunday. Hard work two up on the twisty bits but worth the effort. Yeehah my ticket for Phillip Island arrived today. Mr Rossi has by default closed up the championship quite nicely.

[Charlied1]

Wanted to add but thought it wasnt quite right to add into the last post. Sorry to hear about the crash on Middle Rd. Its a great Rd with some nice bends but obviously very unforgiving if you get yourself off line.

[one fast tl1ooo]

Oh buggar! That would not be good. Five Star put mine in today, and I watched.... and learned some more about it too. He knew what he was doing, so I know its in correctly.

[crazyhorse]

As If !:shifty:

Sure it was the Sump plug, Ya put the oil in the right place cos those Gixers are perculier, percoolier or strange bikes then eH!.

Well, I know its called the sump plug that you remove to drain the oil out LOL - so, nothing too perculier about my special zuki. But all fixed now, and she'll be raring to go this fine weekend.....

Arrr shut-up We went in 2007. Loved every minute of it. 3 days at the track all day. Mary Mooo and I have never had a better 3days in our lives. What a great place. A few pic’s to give you an idea of what you might see

Note it was only 9 deg c. Very cold wind. We were in the stand called Siberia. Nambed for a reason but the view of the whole track was great. Good on ya....... I have never seen my Mooo smile so much as she did at the track. What a great place. We will go back one day................

[crazyhorse]

[BigG]

Very Nice but not like the real island, Isle of Man TT nothing like it and blasting the circuit on mad Sunday what a blast and the atmoisphere WoW !

It looks great, I can see that its a Triumph now, I was looking at the primary cover and forgot the pre unit engines had a different cover that the unit models (63 and later ?) I had a 72 bonnie T120v with a 750 Morgo kit and a 73 T150v , Both of them had nice low Z bars, everyone else i rode with had siily high bars, then they all sold there triumphs and bought compressors and started riding slow. Then i got a 79 CB900F Bol d'Or with yoshi cams, cycle works 4 into 1(came out the left side) and modifyed CV carbs, That was a honda i really liked , it gave my mates the shits lol, it went a tad faster than there HDs:shit:

Yep, the 1st one i rode was a 1340 lowrider a mate bought, we swaped bikes for the day when i had my trident, I thought this will be fast , big engine and all that, well to say i was disappointed was a understatment, heaps of torque but i missed my trident instantly, it was comfortable , but not my scene. another mate had a XR1000 flat track replica, THAT WAS LOTS OF FUN, high comp , big cams , big dellortos , and NOT a Evolution engine, Not many of them around now(not that there was anyway)

Tony - heard you and RobDog heading down the hill - in fact RobDog cruised past us when we moving trailer load of gear back home at Roys Hill yesterday
One must commend that lad - his was a gentlemanly pace ( great sound tho )

Tony - what is the go with bike warrant etc - does a missing screen on the fairing negate a warrant - we are waiting for 1 to come in from Tyga
( 1st one was wrong , 2nd got crushed in customs - 2 months later:mad:
If this is acceptable I will book it in for warrant etc this week mate ? VFR400

Just looked in the Diary. Stuff on but I think that will work for us. Say a 1 pm start. Mooo is not here so you will have to bring your own muffins. :weep:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Might go to the snow up the Taupo road at 2.pm. I will be at the Taupo turn off, North of the turn off by half a km on the Taupo road at the weigh station on the right, at 2.00pm if you want to join me. It will be a slow ride for me but the rules for the ride are, Ride at your own pace and regroup at the snow or the summit kiosk.

[v8s&2wheels]

Good luck guys. Looks like lots of snow from here in napier. But went over yesterday morning and back over lunchtime today (all in the cage) And can safely say there is fark all snow anywhere. Not bad road conditions for a ride to taupo even. Tiny bit damp in places but thats about it.

[one fast tl1ooo]

I went to woodville today - great ride. Only 1 hour 10 - and 1 hour 10 back.

Had to wait for Shirl she was coming up from Wellington. No cops on road. Good slow 101 km/h ride :)

Was A Really nice ride. As you said the snow was well off the road. The ice grit was very heavy in places, for obvious reasons, but it makes for carful riding as it is hard to see. Mr W gathered a lot up on the gixxer as I changed lanes and had to back off.
Meet a really nice couple at Tarawera as we sat and had tea. Been to the Cold Kiwi and they are from down South. :2thumbsup

That’s the end of the pilot sport. 4100km. :buggerd: What a useless tyre. Bring on the pilot road two next week. :2thumbsup Hmmm maybe it is da Mooo sitting on the back that is the problem. :dodge: Bring on the new week and get some more docking done.

Cheers all and have a great week at work……………:calm:……..

well you got 600 K's more than me


New chain and sprockets George? Nice one....:beer:.... Not got the penny's for that just yet, gave it a blood transfusion and filter, rear brake pads, front pads, sprockets and chain next month just wondering if I should alter the gearing.

[RDjase]

I did chain and sprockets on my duke, had a 17/41 on it, standard is 17/39. i rode a mates one that was 17/39 and it felt ok so i went and replaced and went with the standard gearing. after a few rides i wished i had left the lower gearing. No change in top end speed , just wheel stands easier(on a closed private road of course):lol:
Dont know or care what it did to the fuel economy :headbang:,

We did Dannevirke to my place the other week when we left you at Pongoroa in barely 30 mins. And it was at 95 kph.
Naa...we did'nt.:lol::lol::lol:

[Dooly]

Another nice ride today. Cheers Rob, Cindy/Dale/Yanis.

Finally got to give the new Pilot Power 2s a run in on the Ducati.
Was meant to be yesterday but as usual Italian electrics put paid to that before even leaving!:weep:
Fortunately can jump on another steed when that happens.

Very impressed with the Power 2s. Always had Road 2s on the Duc.
Have Power 2s on the Daytona and get a few slides but today gave the Ducati a hard nudge thru Middle Rd, prob one of the quickest I've ridden it, and no hint of sliding and exceptional grip. Pressures 32/34.
I guess the payoff will be fuckall mileage out of them but who cares.......:lol:

If you want to to do a sprocket change then -1 on the front is probably all you need. You will pull just few more revs which help to get you in to the power a bit sooner and you can be lazy with gear changes.. The down fall is that you put more miles on the speedo unless you you put a speedo healer on. Front spocket is about $30.00 Speedo healer $188.00 plus postage approx ex aussie:cool:

Was a gentile cruise. The power 2s are good. The Harley riders would of been impressed when we went passed them. In fact would of been nice if they had a video when i went passed.

You should get heaps of k's out of your front tyre riding like that :msn-wink:

My bike is old and speedo driven off front wheel so sprocket change would not apply any way I think I will leave as is as Jase said.
