Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Yep. Gave you the big wave.

Yep us to. W stopped to do somthin and we stopped to see what he was doing. Just after we started off at the Te Pohue golf course I think I waved to you. Hope you had a good ride G. We did. Thanks everyone for a great ride, lunch and company.

How did the lake ride go mad thing?

[crazyhorse]

It was great to see you all turn out and join us albeit for lunch only. The lake ride was great. Excellent road, but there was a very light sprinkling of drizzle about quarter of the way through. Not enough to wet the road, but it was nice to do that particular road again.

We got back into Napier at 5. And the only Police we saw was by the airport. Quiet road too, with very few vehicles on it. Did notice the Tarawera was shut for renovations.

Not at all. Was a very even steady pace and there's more traffic on Middle road than was that side of the lake. Back to Taupo for an orange juice before the ride back to Napier. Once again was hardly any cars on that highway too, and the roadworks were all cleared, so no hold ups there either. :yes:

Having taken as read that these rides just happen every Thursday as a matter of course and irrespective of whether any specific individuals are able to make it or not, I went on one last Thursday (or was it the Thurs previous?). Five of us who turned up had a great time. Of note however the Thursday before had only one person turn up.

I am right in presumbing that these rides are regular, and that if you feel like a ride you just turn up and ride with whoever else is there and it doesnt need a "leader" for it to happen?

The Burger Fuel ride generally tends to be at a slightly slower pace than some of our other rides. Shirley (CrazyHorse) is very good at taking people under her wing though so if that pace does get a bit "spirited" then I am sure that she will hang back and keep you company.

I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong either

Don't sweat it. I am more than happy to tag along at the back and just catch up when you stop or at turn offs.

Thanks for having me along. Was a good ride of some familiar roads so a good chance for me to get better.

Bring on Sunday!

Hey thanks for that Stormy1, I hear what your saying.

Maybe the couple of runs I went on were the slightly "Free Sprited" ones.

Not sure you'd need to hang back to keep me company though.

However I rarely exceed the posted limits. ...... too tight to pay the fines :msn-wink:

he's still got a few things here and there to sort out to make it a bit more user friendly ie improve throttle mechanism but he'll get there, gotta expect a few teething problems :woohoo:

i managed to break the throttle cable (easy fix on the spot) but no so easy to fix was the rear tire that gave up on me mid drift with a huge bang :rockon:

we were doing roughly 12 sec laps and the record fastest time is 10.8 or something, not bad for first time out there!

I'd looked at the forecast, and thought with a new, unscrubbed front tyre, that would not be a good idea, so stayed home. Was talking to someone in Taupo mid-arvo and they said it was wet and blowing hard.

You lot are jammy bastards, eh?

I could of done you a deal on a scrubbed front tyre for a small fee:yes:

[MSTRS]

Damn. I wanted a PP2 this time...didn't ave and couldn't get...so went for PR2. Old tyre had nothing left, bar straightline running. Who wants to do that?

[robertydog]

Damn. I wanted a PP2 this time...didn't ave and couldn't get...so went for PR2. Old tyre had nothing left, bar straightline running. Who wants to do that?

You wouldnt need a PP2. And whats wrong with straight line running? I do it all the time;)

[MSTRS]

You wouldnt need a PP2. Perhaps not. But I wanted to try it out...was quoted same price. :crybaby:
Now I'll have to wait another 18 - 20,000 kms...

And whats wrong with straight line running? I do it all the time;)Dunno about that. But what I saw today - you'd get 10 rears per front. Front has to be on the deck to wear, don't you know.

[robertydog]

Dunno about that. But what I saw today - you'd get 10 rears per front. Front has to be on the deck to wear, don't you know.

Yes it will be interseting to see what mileage i will get out of the front:yawn:

Thought that you may have been slightly shattered.
Was very hot out at the sprints. 26-27 bikes, something like that. Very grippy road and a lot of rubber left on the exit of the bends. :scooter: So how did you get on ?

Yeah its amazing what new tyres can do for your bike and your own confidence.
The PP2s on the Ducati are perfect for it and my riding style on that bike.
Sometimes it takes a while to find a tyre that is the perfect fit.

I could have been on my LC road bike but would have had to "borrow" parts off the race bike, too close to TRRS for that lol

Hey Dooly , can you get a positive earth radar detector for the the T160? Might be a valve model thats takes 10 minutes to warm up tho ;-)

Good as i reckon. Bloody hard getting the photos from where you were.

[Shorty_925]

I liked having the lens right out so it has a hint of fish eye about it, but means having to get closer to the action, which I know if I was riding would have given me a fright. Had alot out of focus due to the camera picking up the grass!

The photo of you Grant(if only it was fully infocus), followed by Brent, and the last photo of Jason are my pick, but only if they were more focused and tighter photos, but all trial and error.

Was a great day of riding over and enjoyed the racing - as always. Seemed to be a few less in the crowd this year.

Haven't heard of any accidents, which is good news too. Good to see so many HB peeps there :niceone:

Some more pics from Wanganui

ooops I forgot The terrible two :first:

[BigG]

Yep was briliant day at the race's, the weather was just right, saw a nasty off on [SIZE="1"]Susuki [SIZE="3"]corner just before we left only minor injuries thank goodness.
We had a bit of a shambles at the the start of the ride I ended up riding on my own for a while untill I picked up some strays, but what an awesome ride there and back good to see all those bikes on the road, some idiots tho never mind its not a perfect world eH !
Lots of nice cops on the road giving us a wave as we went passed collecting revenue off some poor fellows.

Wondered what happened to you lot. When we slowed down for the cop South of Dannevirke ( Oringi), we got caught in a bunch of tourers/crusiers. Stopped at Woodville for gas and a rest and guessed you had gone thru to Feilding. Got to Feilding as you were leaving, but was only 8.45, 40 mins to Wanganui and 1st race starts 11.00am so did not rush. SP4 man said you were stopping at Turakina, but all closed.
Good days racing in Superbikes and 600 Supersports, spectator no.s were well down.

Wasnt to bad in Taupo but had a couple of showers come thru. Unfortunately wet track and slicks dont mix well.

Had a bit of a ride down to Palmy yesterday had a look at a Thruxton but for the money I could have a 2008 R1 or a brand new XJR1300.
Still trying to get the camera sorted took a lot of footage yesterday got to find out what is up with the sound, waiting to hear back from GoPro.

Did you say whine!

[BigG]

Camera all sorted now. I have fitted it to my old tank bracket and works well there, helmit is ok but I keep looking around wich doesnt help I got to learn to keep my head still. Unfortunately I cant use the bracket Warick made cos it just bounces to much ok if on smooth road but not many around here or if I travell at a slower pace. Should be good for the track day cos the track is reasonably smooth.
How about you Rob your bike doesnt vibrate like mine eH! I suppose that is an added extra :lol::lol:

Its not about getting pissed, its about doing something different on a nice sunny HB day. And as we have pretty much exhausted the HB roads, I thought maybe we should do something a little different. Just a thought anyway :whistle:

[RDjase]

Nice one of Jase on the track. ya did well on the day i might add.

Cheers Rob :2thumbsup It was a busy 2 days, Like the pics , Hard on the brakes into turn one , not much front suspension travel left
Post classic had 40 bikes racing, There was Pre 72,82,89 senior and junior together (running as separate classes) . Everything from CB350's to FZR1000's !
Qauilified 15th with a 1.25.2 . there was 15 bikes within 1.24 to 1.26 . Track was wet 2 races before posty race 1, was dry(just) at race start. Got a good start in race 1, started spiting in the 2nd lap and by lap3 it was bucketing down, alot of riders slowed down , dont know why lol, Its only water :headbang: and narrow Sport Demons like water :clap: there bloody good in the Dry too. Had a good race and a few wee slides at turn 1, 5 and 8 and got 9th (3rd in Pre 82 jnr) Pretty happy with that result:clap:

Race 2 was dry but had a crap start , bogged on the line on lost 5 places , rode hard and got back past 3 of them and had a 3 lap battle with a TZ350, got him in the last lap in turn 9, Got 16th (4th pre82 jnr?)




Did Jason's bike hold up no drama's eH!
Cant wait till the 16th.


The engine held together, Just. threw a spare together out of my best worst bits lol. The crank is worn and the main bearings are loose in the cases. Didnt have much grunt and has a MEAN vibration at 6000rpm, It feels like someone is shaking the bike at those revs lol. Had to check no one was when the vibration started :lol:
New bits orded and good cases and other goodies in the pipe line :2thumbsup


Two Banger for life!

Yea had a scan through those. The old man had a few, just wondered if anyone had some from another spot. Was REAL fun racing on slicks in the rain just after you Jase.....only 10 secs off dry pace, so need to find some speed in the dry!

[sarahtvet]

Had an awesome run on the bay yesterday :ride:
Hot wasn't the word - never been sweating inside my lid at those speeds before :sunny:
Dressing for the dull miserable start in Palmie at 7am probably didn't help :lol:
I had three spare tires tied around my centre by the time we had done the first 50K.
Met MK1, Charlie41 and Brett for brekkie in town and Ross and his lady were there too enroute to Gisborne.
Quick whizz out the back of Onga Onga then fuelled up (nice RS) then on to Ocean Beach. Nice cops up your way :lol: cute too but I must be getting old as he looked about twelve.
They say that you are 'as old as the man you feel' so perhaps I should have grabbed his number as well :lol:
Music and and some refreshments at Wiamarama and then round the back to Wiapawa.
The southies headed south from here and Brett headed home.
Left the Wellies at woodville after a 600K of great riding, we will be back for a long weekend soon.
Great roads, weather and hospitality in the bay
Happy New year to all of you

[BigG]

Yep one of those cops up here is me mates sister or were you talking about the blokes, sounds like use had a good time.

[BigG]

We came home in 2 groups from our lunch stop somewhere in the wops near a dam.

Me & Denny by ourselves had a great ride from the cafe to Taupo with Mr Beltronics saving us a few times.
Then we picked up someone on a ZZR1100 at Mobil Taupo who was gunshy after bacon got him on the ride thru to Taupo earlier in the day, so he hid behind my Radar on the Taupo rd return.

So.......what did you buy G?

That smacks of running under your own rules...no one else knew it was a race, so of course you won!
Didn't you know it is naughty to race on the road?
I believe RDJase is selling his road bike now.....

Great day, blardy hot riding home, tho.
I appreciated the beer hXc had left in the fridge for me...what the hell am I going to do when he moves out...buy my own..that is just wrong!

[Dooly]

Oh you & John were leading for a while so you did good too.
