Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[schado]

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:

Very impressed with the non-2CT-ROAD on the front, and the DOOLY-2CT-ROAD on the back :Punk: as I followed Dooly through Middle Rd. I can't vouch for the non-slip factor though :crazy: I can however vouch that Dooly was doing the entire 101km/h... hell, maybe... and I will say this with caution because I know that it is against the law... maybe he hit the 102km/h mark on a few occasions. But, in saying that, if he broke the law, then so did I cos I was in his rear visioin mirror.

:second:

[schado]

Man, they must of had a slow ride. Feel for the guy on the Daytona with them.
Did you see them coming into Ypuk as we were going back out there after going thru Onga, Hatuma etc.:whistle:

Yeah, wasn't that a crack up. And we deviated up to the old Y-Puck hospital on the hill for Robertydog to get some reversing practice for a short time.

[schado]

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.

Yeah, a video with the little heart monitor screen top right :clap::rolleyes::D

[RDjase]

well you got 600 K's more than me

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.

Whats the gearing on your bike now G ? The standard on my Duke (which it has now) would be great if i was on a Autobahn. Not for middle road:woohoo:

[crazyhorse]

Hey CrazyHorse, how about a report on Cold Kiwi?

Well the report goes something like this..... Decided on Friday that I would not really want to be a part of minus 9 temperatures and frozen tents, so I rode off in the sunset to visit friends in Wellington, slept in a warm bed, had wine and yummy home cooked meals, and came home again yesterday.

....but I hear fun was had at the kiwi this year (all hearsay, of course) :laugh:

Lucky I'm tuff! I didn't fancy ice on the road and as I was riding up by myself, seemed the easy out option.....no one to say "come on, lets still do it" so yeah, soft Minge (lol). Yip, that's me and I don't care :oi-grr: I had a great weekend, and still clocked up over 550 km on the bike

And you had an escort home and set the land speed record from Woodville too.
So I'm told.
And all at 101!!!!:sweatdrop:niceone::lol:

I hope to do some big rides over Summer, clock some kms up too.

[BigG]

Whats the gearing on your bike now G ? The standard on my Duke (which it has now) would be great if i was on a Autobahn. Not for middle road:woohoo: Standard gearing but only 5 speed box needs an extra gear, anyway I'm gona flick it off shortly I think.

Well, the hold up must've been that we didn't go to Havelock, but out to the Puketap. About 170 km took 1 hour 10. :innocent: Actually the traffic on the road was light, and no cops either. First time ever, that I've done less than 200 km on a tank!!! Maybe I never filled it right up..... yeah right!

[GMcC]

She must of...........she's been posting pics of her camel toe again, in the CT thread.:lol:

ratemycameltoe.com used to be around a while back.
So I'm told.

Thousands of pics on there and you give them scores out of 10 then it clicks on the next pic.
They collate the scores and post the daily top 10.

Well they used to........so I'm told.:lol:

not sure what the score collation would be and I`m sure there be some that would be disqualified

Sure am, me and grusomhat going upto wairoa and back just after 2. You can feel free to come along if you want, we are only young bastards though and not into the whole 140kph+ cruising because of cops and no radar detectors etc. So we will only be going slow at around 110kph.

That and ive never even been on the road before so ill just be absorbing the scenery and enjoying the weather

[MSTRS]

This is very tempting. Where meeting?

[v8s&2wheels]

This is very tempting. Where meeting?

BP bayview at about 2.20-2.25. Might c u there?

Maybe. Phone is not exactly running hot...

You be carefull around him..............:msn-wink:

She'll be right. Ill just let him go ahead and do what he wants. No-ones pushing me faster than 110 today. Think this will be one of those rides ill remember for a good week or so hahaha, give me something to think about at work until the next fine day like this.

[grusomhat]

Sweet, more people. Looking forward to it. Will probably be my last ride for a few weeks unless I can find someone to invest in my petrol bill :(

[schado]

Hell, Schado's a madman on the road.

Schado is a madman to follow Dooly down HW50 and Middle Rd. But thats about it. I'm very tame compared to most of the guys whom I like to ride with. I stay on my side of the road, I hold back on the double yellows, I pass safely or not at all, I don't tailgate, I don't wheelie, I don't drift.... I most certainly do not speed !!! and most of all, and this is the most important.... I don't perv at the camel toe thread in which many more photo's are appearing worthy of a look by pervs :doctor:

[robertydog]

mmmmmmmmmmm

You DONT look at Crazyhorse's camel toe.......erm...I mean the camel toe thread.:drool::drool::lol:

All this mid week riding sounds bloody good.

I think I shall take days off to ride now and again when the weather is this nice.
.......but I said that last year.......:rolleyes::wait:

[MSTRS]

Isn't 2.30 a bit late to be setting out for Wairoa. Gets damn cold long before getting home.

[MSTRS]

Mentioning CH's cameltoe AND eating in the same breath is bound to cause....ructions.

Yes, just got a txt from Crazy saying they're in Toepaw munching on chicken burgers and enjoying the view.:cool:

I dont mind who comes all is welcome, its not my road lol. Some may just end up in wairoa ALOT quicker than me and grusomhat.

And about the comment about it getting cold on the way back.... Harden up lol. Its meant to be around 13degrees at 6pm tonight. Should be back before then.

Mind you, i have heated grips and a neck warmer so im good until we get into the negative range for temperature.

[MSTRS]

Meh. I'll be at the gassy in about 30mins.

[v8s&2wheels]

Meh. I'll be at the gassy in about 30mins.

Bit early, grusomhat cant get there till 220ish. Im fueled up and just warmed up the chain and gave it a lube. I love having 2 days off in the week you can get so much stuff done.

[crazyhorse]

Todd and I had a great ride - only 1 cop on the road, close to Taupo. Seems to be our normal 1 hour 10 minute ride to get where we going lately. Excellent dry roads and had a wonderful time. Even better being out and thinking about those working..... :rofl:

Morepower must be sulking, as he never returned our text messages !!!

Hope you boys enjoyed the ride to Wairoa too. What a day for riding :scooter:

We had an awesome ride to wairoa. Never done the road now I can say I have. Nice road, but theres others Id rather ride (and keep away from that dodgy place).

Probably a bit slow for schado and MSTRS, but i enjoyed the ride. I was really starting to get into it towards the end.

Cheers for the ride guys, hope I wasnt to slow for ya.

Glad you enjoyed it. So did I. But you lied about how warm it'd be coming home...Better when you start earlier tho (no sunstrike coming home).
Don't worry about your speed...you were enjoying yourself, learning a bit more and being responsible (unlike that hooligan Schado). Besides, it was hard work just keeping in front of you. I really thought you'd have me round the lake. :devil2:

Yeah that farking sunstrike was a wanker, even with my dark visor on. Im getting the feel for the bike and the tyres a bit more every time i go on rides like these. I feel that the suspension isn't how it should be for my weight though.

It was a bit of work trying to keep good lines on corners id never done before, and keep away from all the stuff on the road/side road. But i enjoyed it.

[schado]

That was a nice 'cruise' to Wairoa & back. Cost $25 return. Cheers guys.:headbang:

Was an awesome ride, tad chilly on the way home though. You looked like you were getting into it near the end on the way home.

If you can find a third person, we could get the suspension sorted on your bike. And might as well do mine at the same time :)

Whats this about suspension? What sort of third person do we need to get it done?

Yeah i had a ball catchin up to the other 2 guys pretty quickly, sorry about leaving you behind lol. You guys are pussies it was no where near cold on the way back (i admit my grips were on 60% though) but the legs were fine.

To get the suspension set up all you really need to do, without spending any money, is to set the Sag. It's a three person job ya see. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/howto/122_0508_motorcycle_suspension_setup/index.html

And numerous other sites will explain it as well. Well that's about all I know about setting up suspension for you weight.

[MSTRS]

To get the suspension set up all you really need to do, without spending any money, is to set the Sag.

Bit more to it than that. Setting sag is just the starting point.
G4E is good with that sort of thing. As is Wasp27. Maybe we could organise a suspension night at ours and get it done? The only tool I haven't got is a rear shock c-hook.

That’s a normal time for bikes. See you can stick to the speed limit when you want to. :clap: It is 120km to Taupo so if you do it in 1 hour 10 you are averaging around 100kmh. Well done you two.

I've got a bit more reading to do then. I was gonna ask a while ago if anyone in Napier could help with suspension.

That would rock if you could though. Would love to get the bike set up a bit more for me.

It's official!!! I'm definitely coming down for the long weekend. Riding down Friday, heading back on Monday. Do you think there could be a nice slow ride for me at some stage during that time? Maybe a couple of drinks and a chinwag? God knows I need the break...been working way too hard recently.

What are ya talking about. That bike felt perfect for my weight. And you would probably only be about 5-10kgs lighter than me at the most lol.

[QUOTE=Gixxer 4 ever;1129397296]Sounds like my type of riding group. There might be an opportunity to set up a slow riders group again. Most of our former slower riders have jumped to the fast group… aye G :nono: QUOTE]

...or just stopped doing group rides altogether...
I was thinkinga long those lines too, Steve, especiallly now that the warmer weather is here
I miss the group rides, but just don't want to be a part of a fast ride. I can't keep up and end up on my own anyway so may as well just start out that way.

[Dooly]

'Fast', 'Slow', whatever pace, its all fun, lets get out there and ride.
Stuff the labels.

Quite often I find the mood one is in determines whether one wants to be a 'fast' or 'slow' rider on the day.
Of course its easy to be swept up in the pace of the company you're with for the ride.
But generally I like to give it heaps, but thats me, always been like that, each to their own. I feel my riding has improved over time by riding at a brisk pace, and of course track day tootling, but of course some may disagree, especially the bacon.:sweatdrop

And Steve.........you're no slow poke mate.:2thumbsup

As for G........well, the older he gets the more crazier he is.........:msn-wink::dodge::lol:

Speaking of rides, anyone up for a mid weeker next week.
Thinking of maybe tootling down to the Hutt next Weds?
Need to talk to the Duc dealer about summit, so thought might take the day off and ride.
But don't have to go there, but am thinking of a good ride for the day, say 9-10ish till 4?

[yungatart]

But I can't do fast, Dooly!
I'm an old slowpoke.....

All you said is good and is how it is.

I have entered in to this debate many times. I am happy to arrive at the venue/regroup point, first or last or late. No big deal for me. I like to go fast but at the moment I am happy to go slower. So that’s good for me. I love riding. I also look forward to spending time with the people I meet here and on bikes in general. Point in question, we meet a couple last weekend at Tarawera from down south. Had a great chat for an hour while sitting in the sun not far from the snow. I find riders to be a great group of people to spend time with. I also understand why Tart feels like she does. There is no one answer and I tried to pull the two groups together years ago and found the fast group needed to go fast and the slow group felt intimidated. Frustrating for me cos I recon we can have fantastic rides if we could get everyone to come along as we have in the past. Round the lake, ANZAC day 2 years ago, protest rides etc etc. So keep posting rides and it is for everyone to choose what rides they come on. When I get more time I will organise rides for a slower group and then if the fast riders want to come along cool. Just go ahead and we will catch up in time. So there will be plenty of rides on for the summer. Get your bikes out and sorted for the summer.

Two groups can coexist. It will work, as people will go with the group they feel suits them best and the two groups can come together as often as possible or as a ride allows. As long as we never adopt the “ them and Us” attitude we will all have a great summer. There is no reason why a group ride has to have people riding on their own.

[Dooly]

Hey Steve, stop making sense.:2thumbsup

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Dont no yet I've just booked a big trip next year to the Land of Oz so it mite be a back burner thoiught but I still looking.....

In that case keep the Ace or we will not get to see you as often as we do. Tis about the people George. Is Phillip Island in the planned trip to OZ? Next year........:innocent:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Moo wants to go back to the Phillip Island, so bad. Might have to consider a return trip soon. How many would be interested in booking a house on the Island and going to the track for the 2010 Moto GP?

You would have to front up with the bling as a none refundable deposit around Christmas time I would think to pre pay for the house. We stayed on the Island in a nice house with 8 others and it cost us $80.00 a day per person. Everyone has to get in and do the cooking , cleaning etc. You really have to be able to live with others for 3 days and pull your weight but it worked so well for us. Anyone interested ? :innocent:

I've been stuck in the office doing workshop invoices for the last few days (after putting it off for weeks) hence my high post rate lately.
And its boring me crazy.

[MSTRS]

Well said, Steve. The point of a group ride surely is to ride as a group. This is where the 'problem' lies. YT wants to ride with others, not meet up at odd points along the way or at the end. Of course, most likely being the slowest (read that as cautious) she feels she is holding others up if they stay with her, but to an extent resents being left on her own.
Tis a hard one.

[Spyke]

when I get a road bike I'll stay with you YT! :hug:

Even though i haven't been on a group ride I'd expect it to be like if your going for a walk with some mates, It'd kind of suck if they just took off leaving you to walk there by yourself.

but generally it'd be better to have two rides so then the guys that want to go ooober fast can do that and not be held up and the guys that want more of a leasurely pace can be with the group that suits.

for a better social side the slower group could meet earlier and leave for a destination and then the fast ones later, and if timed correctly you guys could get to a place within minutes of each other.

:rockon:

I cant understand the way that this thread is going. I for one have my fast days and my slow days. Surely it is about everyone sharing a common iterest - Bike Riding. We all meet, decide a route, then just slip into the group/pace that suits and regroup at sensible points along the ride. This way we all ultimately meet up at the same destination and socialise as bikers with a common passion. Shit does it have to be more complicated than that???

Nope.:rockon:

[MSTRS]

Nobody wants 'complicated'. For whatever reason, the cruisy, more learner-friendly rides have dropped by the wayside. They were getting faster anyway, and YT stopped coming along cos of the pace, and being left behind. But we no longer have that group of people that like to ride cruisy. By that I mean decidedly sub-legal speeds. If the only people that turn up want to ride much faster, then we can't do much about that. Where are the riders that are happy to go 'slow'?

[v8s&2wheels]

Right here, im a slow guy for now.

On a completely different note. Whos keen for a ride today? Not too big though. Maybe middle road to waipawa, over to tikokino and back up sh50 or something. But bear in mind im one of the 'slow people' as Im not too keen on meeting and chatting with the cops, tickets and all that crap.

[MSTRS]

Possibly.
I could take you on a mentoring ride? Just the two of us...show you some lines, braking points, that sort of thing.

[v8s&2wheels]

Hmm, not really into going for hard out braking points etc as of yet, will be getting into that more in a few months (you know what i mean). Im happy to just get some more kms under my belt.

[MSTRS]

No no...not what I mean. Just some talk and do, on how to 'read' corners, lane position on approach, entry, exit - that sort of thing.

[v8s&2wheels]

Nah id be happy to leave that until i get my suspension set up for my weight. Be alright if you want to follow me and just watch my cornering and then give me a review after we stop somewhere or something.

[MSTRS]

Yep. I didn't see much yesterday...

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Where are the riders that are happy to go 'slow'?

Most of them developed better riding skills and move to faster rides. That’s a good thing. So a few that didn’t want to ride fast got left with no one to organise rides or ride with. So it is time to put on rides for a slower group again. I am happy to do that when I get my weekends back as I like a slower pace from time to time. As Dale said, simple is good. So everything is easy as, when we establish the slower group again and get all the people who want to cruise riding together. We will do joint rides with both groups in time as we have done in the past. Everything is good. However I am on a ride with another group this weekend so can’t plan a ride for the slower group from K/B. Maybe next weekend……

[v8s&2wheels]

Yep. I didn't see much yesterday...

Yeah thats true. I got to watch a lot of yours though lol. It was good following you yesterday because i could easily follow your lines and not have to think 'hmm wonder if this corner tightens any more' etc.

[Dooly]

Al is going for a ride today hopefully.
Rang me but alas.................:crybaby::crybaby:

Have to make these slower rides on saturdays as i work sundays. Next problem is i cant go for huge rides on saturday as the partner has a moan if i dont spend time with her since its the only day we both have off. I can see some real priority juggling coming up for myself (and possibly quite a bit of sweet talking).

[MSTRS]

She got gear? Can always find a (legal) pillion seat, you know.

[v8s&2wheels]

She got gear? Can always find a (legal) pillion seat, you know.

Not yet, shes very scared of motorbikes in general, but planning to get helmet and gears in next few months and im going to start easing her into it next year (middle of summer etc). Besides that I'd rather she didnt come along anyway as my motorbike is 'my time' and dont really want to spoil that all the time.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

and not have to think 'hmm wonder if this corner tightens any more' etc.

You have a good attitude and you are prepared to learn. That’s fantastic. However I can tell you, as I have ridden the 07 Gixxer at some speed to the rev limiter, hope W is not reading this, that it will get you outa nearly any shit you get in to on the road. Other than oil, shingle etc. Even then it will work for you. They corner like magnets and handle like race bikes. That’s cos they are…….. If you look at the place you want to go they will take you there. This comment is not to make you go faster but to give you confidence that the bike will look after you should you find yourself in a situation. Hang on and look at the escape rout and you WILL ride out of trouble. They are a magic bike…….

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Yeah i understand this bike was made to be able to do all that, i just cant pull up the confidence on it to go flying through the corners, my reason/(possibly excuse) is it doesnt feel 'like a magnet' going around the corners because im fairly certain that the suspension isnt set up for my weight (im 78ishkgs) and the guy before me was around 100kgs.

You may see now why i really want to get this suspension sorted before i start really leaning over etc.

[v8s&2wheels]

Spoil it ? Bugger. I must be one of the lucky ones aye……. Mine enhances it…………… lucky me……:wari:…..

Lol lucky you ae. Motorbike will always be me time for me. With the occasional us time (depending on my mood i guess).

No it doesn't, when you want a fast ride, go with mates that are comfortable with that speed and if its cruisy then others will be fine aswell. No one likes to get left behind on a group ride?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

What do i get to keep my mouth shut.:eek5:

Not in top gear RD. I don’t think I could handle that mate. Second past his house so he could hear it hit the limiter. That was fast enough with all the traffic. I had done a ride by to check for bacon first.

But it really handles in the corners. I would love to own something like that in the future. Or similar. You never know what the future holds. :scooter:

So as he was there it is worth nothing Mr Rob. But I just wanted to test you :yes: I am sure you past the test.......

Got some bike decal work for you too John, will confirm it all shortly.

If you are referring to us - then get over yourself. As Todd and I spent the day together and invited no-one else, because we didn't have to. :girlfight:

I'm sure the "slow group" who invited you along, really appreciated your comment. Have a great day riding Yanis

Do I look like a multi-tasker? Please don't ask me to get over myself while I'm still trying to get over you and Todd. :blink: I'm not exactly sure how it is that I could be referring to you or Todd, or you two collectively, unless you feel as though you deserve special parking rights at the supermarket. Or maybe you feel challenged about who owns the HB roading network? Wait, I know what it is, I should have offered to point my weekend riding money at your petrol tank first... that’s gotta be it.


Anyways, next time you and Toddy decide to 'spend the day together' please feel free to call upon me to serenade you both with my violin :violin: If I'm not available at the time, I'm sure that there are a shit load of people in here who would jump at the chance. Because we care.

Let me think about the slow riders that 'invited me' for a bit. Hmm hang on 'are they bovered tho, are they, are they bovered?' No, evidently, they are not. Because , having met them both, they, even though half your age, don't appear to be so immature as to take such humour personally.

A great day riding.... sure shall Shirl. Thanks

saying of the day: Divide and conquer is old school.

Dude, if you think that's funny, then you are mistaken. Not how to win friends.
My special pass is firmly attached to my bike. They are not issued to just anyone, you know....

Good morning. Yes. I thought that was funny... I said it with humorous intent. I'm not a nasty or spiteful person. But am a fast learner. I don't gamble (unless its really worth it like the $17m tomorrow) so I don't care to win any friends. Generally, my straight-shooter approach and reasonable sense of humour 'earn' me one or two friends here or there.

I love to ride. I joined KB forums to find rides not dates nor picnics or piss-up's. I would have expected that those who have taken it upon themselves to pay particular attention to me would have noticed that I ride... when the group stops at pubs and cafe's etc, I keep to myself until we set off again. And then at the end of the ride I break away and go my own way.

Too much politics goes on in here. It almost strips the fun and freedom right out of riding... naaa, no chance of that !!! :rockon:

[schado]

Naaaaaaaaaaa he was referring to me. You need to chill out.

I was saving that evidence - hehehehe

I thought it was obvious. Obviously you and others did too.
Are some oblivious to the obvious? LOL Profound or Profanity? Tune in to the next episode of ‘KB Street’....

All YT is saying re fast/slow is that the group (or some of them at least) should ride with the slowest member in mind. That's what we used to do. Just like Wednesday.

On a happy note:

Ride tomorrow (weather pending, of course) meet Mobil Taradale Road at 1pm.


And I for one don't mind if we have fast or slow riders along. So long as everyone has fun. But I do agree with Yungatart. There are times when you wonder what the point of a group ride is, when you always arrive at the stops by yourself.

You and Sandy? If yew thats 5 people. Two couples and one single that have shown an interest. You have to be aware you will be sharing rooms. I will call the owner and see what’s up for 2010. Could be booked already but I will ask. Payment would have to be in the next month and nonrefundable. Could be $300.00 per person for 3 nights around the 17th Oct.

Hey I am with you. Maybe a slower riders group is warranted. Then every body is happy. The slower group can talk about half day/ day rides, Maybe even and this is radical stop on the way and admire the view or even regroup.

Great ride today folks, shame one had an off - but at least all ok, and we were able to complete the ride.

then to taradale for a drink then home for tea, YIP nice to go slow for the day, :rofl:

Neat ride. First time I been that far up Taihape Rd, what great sweepers & bends.
And the best thing was, we never exceeded the speed limit.:lol:

Shame about the TLR, but one of those tight corners that kept on tightening nearly had my name on it too.:shit:

Would that be a right hander going up the hill about half a k from the shingle? One nearly got me, all be it a long time ago, and would have if Morepower had not touched his brake to worn me of it.I would have visited the bushes for sure.

Paul and I headed West and went back to the Tarawera for lunch. Was a good ride. All day breaky up there is something else. I couldn’t finish it :eek: and that’s rare for me.

Yes, a RH that went tighter & tighter. Did'nt get to the shingle as we stopped when John dropped his TL, but I think it was close to the shingle.

Could'nt believe it either, fuel light came on on way home from the Classic Club, only showing 130kms done on the ride!!!
Thats worse than small tank VTR1000!!!
Musta been using the gas pedal a bit.:whistle:

But I reset the odometer when I gassed up at Tamatea, so 130 from there.

Yes you can use it but you will not be able to carry Becks on the ride I had planned. Maybe you can take a group on an easier ride and I can take the harder ride? Or vice versa
Was going to go up the zig-zag in the George over the top down the blackberry face along the flat up the second to end face, far end via the far face, along the middle track , up the hill cross over the top of the George and down the woolshed side. Will that ride work for this group? But not really a pillion ride. You could lead the same ride but take an easier rout as not all might like the harder ride........?

I just found this on the home page,
Theres more if you follow the link

The Group Ride Guide


Group rides. Many like minded individuals meet up to share their passion for sport, ride some excellent roads, enjoy the company of old and meet new friends and talk shit. Unfortunately, all too often however these excursions are marred by an accident – or worse, we lose a friend.
Make no mistake it is a dangerous game we play at the best of times, but there are some things particular to group rides that can catch out the unwary.

An approach was made to the wise and powerful Mental Trousers to try and find a way to bring together a group of folk from a broad spectrum of KB and see if we could reach a consensus on these factors and what could be done to mitigate them.

What follows is the fruit of those discussions. A set of guidelines which we hope, if adopted and followed will go some way toward reducing the risks associated with group rides and make them more enjoyable for all participants.

It is hoped that organisers will state that rides will be run in accordance with The Group Ride Guide and provide a link to this in their announcement and/or calendar event posts. It is anticipated that the guidelines can not cover every situation nor should all be applicable to every ride. But please, let people know what to expect so that they may make an informed decision as to whether they should attend the ride or not.

I won’t name names, I think MT has access to a list of all participants, and some, for various reasons wished to remain anonymous. As you know, trying to get consensus on any given topic from more than a couple of people can be difficult, so for my part I would like to thank everyone for their co-operation, time, effort, ideas and constructive input. Well done guys.

Was thinking about this fast/slow group thing.

Maybe we could have a fast group, a medium group, and a slow group.
But also a slow/med, med/med, med/fast, but to cover all bases, maybe a slow, slow/med, slow, med, med/, med, med, fast/, fast, fast, ultrasonic/, then perhaps a slow, slow, slow, slow/, slow, slow, slow, med/ med, med, med, fast/, fast, fast, ultrasonic, ultrasonic.
Then maybe a group that are so fast they have arrived at the destination and are back home before the rest have left.
They can be the mega ballistic group.

Then we'd have a place for all!!!

Ok, sorted.

[one fast tl1ooo]

Was thinking about this fast/slow group thing.

Maybe we could have a fast group, a medium group, and a slow group.
But also a slow/med, med/med, med/fast, but to cover all bases, maybe a slow, slow/med, slow, med, med/, med, med, fast/, fast, fast, ultrasonic/, then perhaps a slow, slow, slow, slow/, slow, slow, slow, med/ med, med, med, fast/, fast, fast, ultrasonic, ultrasonic.
Then maybe a group that are so fast they have arrived at the destination and are back home before the rest have left.
They can be the mega ballistic group.

Then we'd have a place for all!!!

Ok, sorted.

As you were.:msn-wink::wacko::niceone:

that could be a plan,,, year rite :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

There will be a ride on Wednesday again, everyone is welcome. Will be leaving around 2ish. Not sure where yet but somewhere around 200km round trip. If anyone has any suggestions then lets here 'em.

Hmm..hi to all who frequent this thread. I have been watching this HB thread and reading the posts since I joined kb. I enjoy everyones humourous comments, you all seem to be a damn decent bunch of people..that have that one common factor > riding and enjoying. The reason Ive been lurking n the background - you can learn alot by every1s honest comments in the posts. About me and my riding abilities - Im more at ease with my bike, I admit my comfort zone with speed is at 100. Yeah I have gone over the hundy...who hasnt:no: Im kinda thinking of joining the Wednesday ride? But, I reckon my SLOWness will holdup the faster crew :doh:, as you all have the speedy roadbikes. BTW - i like to take in the scenery whereva I roam(my hubby calls me >turkey neck :bleh: ...how rude :laugh:) Cheers... Janece

Hi, firstly you should be fine riding with us. We don't hit much over 100 as we both can't afford to have the cops on our back. At the moment we are looking at going to waipuk via middle road and the back roads on the otherside of the river. If you're in Waipawa, I'm not sure where you would want to join us. I guess you could either join up when we are heading back home (not sure what road yet) or meet us in Napier and head back out to waipuk->waipawa.

If you decide just let me or V8 know and we'll be sure to accommodate you.

EDIT: Sweet bike btw!

Couldn't have put it any better myself. *note, 105kph+ costs us money we would rather not part with*.

Im doing my first lot of testing new tyre pressures on this ride on wednesday, so ill be very cautious and be trying to really feel whats going on underneath.

I can say it'll be very interesting to have a harley riding with a couple of sports bikes, promise not to lose you though.

George, you bloody numpty! So elucidate on the weekend it may mitigate your actions a little. As an aside I really loved Port Douglas, if only the lotteries commision would come to the party! I'd be there now, good road for a fang down to "Cans" too!
