Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[yungatart]

OK, sore back muscles...hmmm.
Seriously it is because you need to relax more...I know what I am saying because I've been there (and for a bloody long time!) Take a deep breath and then let it out Keep breathing! Talk to yourself or sing in your helmet, it helps to relax you and keep your breathing even.
You are doing great kiddo, just keep it up!

[Colapop]

....You can speculate all you like but there are somethings I prefer to to do with another person.....
Do tell... what is it that you (newly) Hawkes Bay people do???? Sounds like the weekends are pretty interesting up there.... :yes:

[Stickchick]

If its raining bring the car cause I don't have waterproofs and not sure what my leather pants would be like in the rain.

Tart and Mstrs do you mind having a visitor for a couple of hours tomorrow so I can kill time until I have darts?

[canarlee]

Got meself a new Michelin Pilot Sport back tyre so I is good for the rain now, not this sat however. Thanks Scottie for letting us no about Hastings Honda I saved meself $150.00 on da tyre, got a cheep rep of Rossi's old GO!!!!!!!! M1 to:scooter:

Yep. Sunday is good. Work till 11 ish. Wasp27 might come out and we can all do the first Main road ride together. Have you got the L plate John? See you all here on Sunday. Happy shopin Chicky.
You need to use Bees wax or similar on your leathers to make them water proof. You need to have them in the sun and or crank up the hair dryer and make the wax and the leather warm. Then rub it in. Mind you.......you could just wear them and get someone to put the wax on when warm..............................

Hmmmm might have to call them about some rubber. I like them Pilot sports. Did they have any 190?

[canarlee]

Mind you.......you could just wear them and get someone to put the wax on when warm..............................

well i will offer my services for that!!!




the wax goes on the inside yes?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

:shit: ummmm no Lee :nono:

Hell it is :cold: out side. Better get out and get the work done.

Tomorrow might see big frosts.

[Stickchick]

I'm still riding!!!! I don't want to miss out on a whole weekend...thats just unfair!!!! Are we going for a ride this arvo? If so can someone pillion me?

[BigG]

Going to get realy wet the sarvo at Golf. Can you post up wich way you are heading to-morrow as I am commited to 12.30 and will be going for a ride then.

Steve I got the last of the cheep Pilot Sport, there was a 190 17 there but I think it was a Dunlop, heaps of odds and ends, jackets and stuff but not everything at 50%.

[Stickchick]

Just take into account that tomorrow is when I am being taught to ride on a main road. So it won't be a fast ride

[BigG]

Hello Lance have you got that wheel back on yet?

[yungatart]

I'm still riding!!!! I don't want to miss out on a whole weekend...thats just unfair!!!! Are we going for a ride this arvo? If so can someone pillion me?

Depends on the weather for us old farts....if we are going, I will txt you and John can pick you up if you are at your aunty's.

Thanks for that. I shot over this morning 11.30ish but nothing I wanted. They didn't have the rubber I wanted.

I hope to get Chicky out for a ride on Sunday. Up and down our road a few times and then out on to the main road for the first time. Come on out about 2ish if you want to escort our Chicky back to town for her first main road ride. Top speed will be 70 so Chicky is legal. We must keep Chicky legal.
you could go for a ride and end up here around 2ish. All welcome. Support our Chicky as we did our Tart. Then they will hang around and play for years to come.

[BigG]

Shot a good round today, into semi finals in a fourtnight so looking to ride tomorrow arvo, weather is going to be sunny but cold.

K............. Mary Mooo is making muffins tomorrow for all that are interested. Here from 2-2.30. We will give Chicky some ride time on our road before that. Then we head to town.

Sound ok for you MSTRS and TART? Do you want me to come and pick you up Chicky? Comin over Wasp27? The drive way is a bit wet at the moment. i ride up and down with no problem but if you are scared of the mud I can pick you up in the ute or you could walk......................

Thanks for the toy today Wasp. Timing chain by the sound of it. I love that thing man. It is great.

[Wasp27]

K............. Mary Mooo is making muffins ....
YEP, That'll do it:love:

Comin over Wasp27? .......You bet your arse

Thanks for the toy today Wasp. Timing chain by the sound of it. I love that thing man. It is great. ......Sweet as....plenty more toys to keep you amused on rainy days:msn-wink:
Anyone got a ride planned earlier on......?

[yungatart]

Anyone got a ride planned earlier on......?

Yeah, we have...ooh whoops, we did it yesterday...where were you? We missed you!

[Wasp27]

Yeah, we have...ooh whoops, we did it yesterday...where were you? We missed you!

I was chipping away at my chores list:yes: Ready for a ride now though

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Some confusion. So lets try this. All welcome here from now on. Muffins are made. Chicky can ride our road till 2.30 then out on to the main road. Ride to town and then go our own ways.

Our driveway is fine so just come on up.

[MSTRS]

SC will be coming to ours (soon). We will trot on out to G4Es then....

[Stickchick]

You sure about that? For a speechless one, you wrote lots....
Your thanks are not necessary, just your eternal gratitude :innocent::dodge:
It is not an onerous task showing the ropes to someone so willing to learn. Keep up the good work, cos YT is really looking forward to having a riding buddy prettier than the rest of us

[Stickchick]

I'm still grinning from ear to ear and I can't seem to concentrate on work as I keep thinking about the next time I can get out...don't think my boss will be too impressed if i took too much time off just to go riding hehehehe

Best thing of all is I'm not sore...talking to myself made me relax more.....Thanks Tart for the advice...You feel pretty stupid but it certainly works

[yungatart]

[yungatart]

Nice piccies!
Steve, make sure Moo knows how much we all appreciate your hospitality.
Thanks to all you kbers for turning up and supporting SC.I'm convinced that we have the best group in the country!! We rock!!
And it was such a gorgeous day for a ride...man I had fun. Its amazing how much fun one can have at 70 k...:yes:
Apart from the tosser cage driving neanderthal who passed me on the inside just north of Bayview, it was a primo ride!

[Zukin]

I thoroughly enjoyed yesterdays poddle :Punk:

It wasn't that long ago that we were in exactly the same position as you Sticky :yes:
You are now addicted :yes:

Well I'm now avaiable on Saturday for a ride/Pillion seat? My cousin was supposed to be coming down but she recently got kidnapped by knife point in her car so she is a little dubious about getting into a car right now. So she is coming down after I get back from Oz.

ouch poor thing.

Riding for you if you can get the EL thank you. Some can go ahead and wait when they get there and some can ride with you. You must ride often. Pity you do not have the bike at home cos you could ride to work and after work. Soon aye Cola. :) :yes:

[Stickchick]

Yeah not a nice thing to happen after a crap day at work either. Apparently her car was in a well lit carpark at the back of her work. Unfortunately these things can anywhere anytime really don't they. Mstrs and Tart are away this weekend but I'll see what they say about me borrowing it.

[yungatart]

You can borrow the EL, if you want. Just need to organise something as John will be away on Friday for the w/e.

I am sure we can work somethin out. Maybe get it to Warrick and we can sort things out from there for the weekend. I can not commit to a ride at the moment. We have a few problems with the old house that are proving very troublesome and My Gixxer is talking to me about the cam chain and the cows need feeding. But it seems I can grab a few hours on Sunday so W and Chicky and I could go for a ride around the local roads. Even town to get you up to speed on that. Or just Chicky and I if you are busy W. Lets see how the week goes.

[canarlee]

um i will be there!!!

if ya want me that is?!


im on the edge of town too if that is easier???

[Stickchick]

Will have to be Sunday arvo for me though as I have darts at 11am against Horowhenua in Napier. I can let them know that I have to leave as soon as game is over so they play me up the top of the team. They are good like that

Yep Sunday avo is better for me.

If it is easy for MSTRS to drop the bike off with you Lee thats good. Who ever works best for MSTRS and Tart.

Lets work it out on Thursday night. Sunday works better for me at the moment with work. So at this stage it is a ride around the local streets/town for Chicky with a few old farts in tow. :dodge:

[Stickchick]

You guys aren't THAT old you know just like I'm not that blonde

[canarlee]

yep i got room in my garage for a 3rd bike no probs!


thursday night?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

thursday night?

Planing for Sunday. I am a compulsive organiser. In order to get anything done I have to have a plan or nothin get done/finished.

[canarlee]

ahh i thought you were planning a night time ride or summit! i actually enjoy riding in the dark! seems so peacefull

[Grumpy]

Yep Sunday avo is better for me.

Was bloody great to have you out. Looking forward to a great summer of plenty of riding and eating out all around the Bay. Sorry about the drive way.

Oh and to those of you who noted the smell.......... and it was very unpleasant here on Sunday...........I have found it. We cut a few holes in the floor in the old house looking for a plumbing problem cos it has been smelly for a long time. At least 3 weeks cos it was like it when Chicky stayed. Well I found it tonight. A fucking big possum paid me back for all the killing over the years. A very big dead bugger under the floor and I still cant get to it to pull it out. Mary said " no more holes" so it can stay there. Oh yea and the plumbing is fine.......... I will sleep well tonight.

Roll on the summer. Sorry to hear about the VMax. Just when you were getting out with us. What has it done?

[Stickchick]

You better not have been blaming me for the smell:nono:

My parents taught me how to wash properly you know.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

You better not have been blaming me for the smell:nono:

Chicky !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would never do that. But we were aware of the smell before you came over and hoped it didn't put you off stayin.

Unless you are a very furry black mushy mess under my floor then you are not to blame.

Looks like we might have Leanne for a ride on Sunday. More girl power for you Chicky. That would make 3. Hmmm blind mice or musketeers :shutup:

I was following you back into town at one part, and noticed it puffing (when you changed gear I guess)

I hope its not to long off the road

[Stickchick]

Well guys I was hoping to take tomorrow off for a little ride around but unfortunately doesn't look like I'm going to be able to. The person that can relieve me is still on Jury service so that means I have to spend another boring day at work. BRING ON SUNDAY!!!!

[canarlee]

BRING ON SUNDAY!!!!

on that thought, do we know what we are doing about the eliminator yet? keeping it here at mine or round at steves place......



also the forecast for the weeknd is looking good so far

[Stickchick]

[canarlee]

[Stickchick]

Ok guys, My parents are coming up for my uncles 50th and I want you to meet them if you can. They arrive on Friday 3rd August and are staying at the Tamatea Motor Inn. I'm going there after work for a few drinks to catch up with them. Did you guys wanna go down there that night too? Or maybe I could arrange something else. Bikes will probably NOT be the topic of conversation due to them not really approving of them but they are still interesting people and i love them :love:. Let me know what you guys think. All good if you don't want to meet them too, but I rave about you lot when I'm down there so they would love to say Hi, especially Mum as she wants to know who has done a great job of looking after her little girl :innocent:

[MSTRS]

My parents are probably NOT the topic of conversation

No. But we could talk about bikes....:innocent:

[canarlee]

Unfortunately I can't really give a time because of playing darts...it should be ok though...I pick the EL up from Johns place after darts. Who do I get hold of if darts is running late? I do remember Janet saying that Micro was in town so will let you know if he will be there. Just waiting to hear back from him.

As for today does anyone have a pillon seat for me? I prefer not to ride as I have a sore neck at the moment and can't really turn my head which isn;t a good thing. Got a friend sorting it out for me tonight

[canarlee]

right then, i got the key for johns garage to get the EL.

anyone wants or needs to call me my numbers are as follows; 021 024 91076 or 027 610 4770

Nice idea Chicky but....the roads out there are going to be wet with leaves and plenty of mould on them. The main roads will be clean and dry but full of cars as it is the end of the holidays. Mind you our road is very quiet. So where do people want to go?

also was good to see a couple of new faces along too

[Gixxer 4 ever]

I had a great ride today. As Lee said..nice to see the new faces. I think we chose the best road for the day. Most of it was dry and it is clean.
Nice to see you Zukin. Been a while mate. And Paul at the Pub and all you other lot

Some of us are thinking about a trip away. It might be 18 month to two years away but it will take some planning. Around OZ. No plans yet but we recon we can hire a container and pack it with bikes and gear and do the trip on our own bikes. Tents/ cabin or what ever. Do it on the cheap but leave room to change things from time to time. This is just an idea and it has not been investigated yet. I will start a new thread about it in the future. This is to plant the seed and give you a chance to think about it. I would think we should be away for a month. Lets see if this develops.

Thanks for a great ride. Missed some of you regular riders.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Ok we will be there, if anyone gets this message :yes:

Got it :)...................

[canarlee]

a month tour of oz? hmm interesting!

[robertydog]

Ah a long day. Napier to Hamilton and back to pick up the young fella. Lucky we were in the cage as there was a massive frost on the Taupo plains. Ice all over the roads. Was behind one of those flash SUV's and and we got into a massive ice patch and around he went (360), and over he went off the road with the other two vechiles. And in my head i was saying get out of my way, as i was coming thru. And i just sailed thru (helps having a 4WD Car with ABS).
So guess you guys took the better road all nice and dry.

I went down to patangata the other day. The only drama is that the farmers have been grazing stock on the sides of the road. therefore there is mud and sh_t everywhere.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Well done that man. They recon you can spot a motorbike rider in a group of cars. He/she is the one not panicking and doing all the right things. looks like you proved it today. Good stuff that man.

Bloody farmers.......:shit:.... aye Chicky.........:innocent:

Just having a quick squize thru KW after an awesome hol in Aussi. 6500kms in five weeks with wifey on a DL650 fully loaded with tent, cooking gear, etc etc. Flew bike into Brisbane and rode upto Coen (towards Cape York) and then back again. I can only recommend doing this to anyone. If you want any info on getting a bike to Aussi and traveling this area, give me a yell.
Interesting comment from GIXXXER 4 EVER re:Five Star. You didn't mention the type of oil, as the price of oil varies an incredable amount depending on the brand / grade etc. Come and see me in the Five Star workshop anytime and I will be happy to give you advise on what you need. I start working there on Monday 16th July as the new Service Manager and have been around Suzuki's for a few years now, so I hope I can help. Craig Guy

now i have one question, is that a plug for the business by any chance?

Hi Craig.
I went around the corner and picked the oil up from the new black display shelf. You tell me what brand it is.I ask Lee if this was the oil I should use. He went away and checked and changed the oil I had in my hand to a Race oil. I ask Lee the price of it 3 times and it was only when I insisted on knowing the price he told me it was $103.00 for the oil and the filter.

I have been a loyal customer of Twin city and was pleased to carry on but when it took 5 weeks to get a tyre for my son's bike it seemed a bit too long. Lee told us it was going to take 3-4 weeks so we ordered it and waited. Then I told Patrick to call Cycletreads and they had the tyre on the shelf for $170.00 landed in Napier. Then to top it off Lee told him he could have it Tomorrow for the same price what am I suppose to think? And when staff pick up parts and can not pay for them with our usual payment option cos Five star have not done their paper work I get pissed off. Our staff should not have to pay my bills thank you. Five Star could have put the stuff on my account if they didn't want/couldn't use Farmlands. Yes I have an account other than Farmlands. All they had to do was check the computer to see if I had an account and see if I paid on time.

I only published what happened. I have supported Twin City for years( as you know Craig) and have sent work from other friends your way for a long time. If Five Star improve their service and are as good as other bike shops I would recommend you. But in light of what has happened to me in the last few months do I not have the right to think things have changed?
I don't want a bun fight here so lets see how this works out in the work shop over time. If the service is good I will publish it. if not I will do the same. This is a bike riders club and the interest of bike riders is one of the things we talk about. Welcome to Kiwibiker Craig.

Oh by the way...........nice to have you back Craig..............hope to get out on the track with you again, soon

Cheers Craig

Now about this OZ trip. You going to write a report for us all to read on your trip? Plenty of interest from da local riders here in the Bay. Maybe you could be part of the next trip and lead the way. I recon I might have to get a tank made for the gixxer to get a few more K's out of a tank of Gas.

I would like some info on this stuff. As I said, we are just seeing if we have a few interested. I have had 5 people keen so far and I only put the idea out there today. I recon we should make it 18 months or so to get the $$ together. The trip you did is the one I want to do but carry on around the top and down the west coast. I will be back in to Five Star now you have made a point of letting me know you are back and have a chat sometime. Just out of interest Craig...what does it cost to ship a bike to OZ?

Cheers Craig.
Nice to have you back.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Morning W....Missed you yesterday mate....What do you think of the OZ idea? Will we see you today for Chickys ride? I will PM you.

[BigG]

Well I enjoyed that ride, a bit slow on some of the wet corners, but your mate Steve flew past me up the elbow and disapeared, flipping heck he was flying. I bust me glasses at Portarino so I found it hard focusing thats why I took the lead cos I didnt want to bump any one in the back end. Kept fogging up on the way back had to ride with visor up and it wasnt very pleasant.
Some photos, Europeans eh first there, time to go and decides to let some air out:doh:
Whos that kissing the front wheel.:sick:

[BigG]

Some more photo.s of the rest spot, nice looking Honda, nice sound when comes past you, nice to have three new bods on the run, if we get all together there could be a massiff day out. If we can all get together we could do a photo shoot for the next Calender:Punk:

Sorry to hear you were unwell Chicky. Got to hate it when that happens.

Well if they won't tell you I will. Its like this Chicky..Mrs Grumpy was cold and hungry. We got the txt to say you couldn't come so we headed off to......crack.buzzzzzz.hummmmmmm....beeeep buzzzzzzzzzz........and after we arrived she got a bit silly in the car park and did a wicked burn out. I recon it was month of pent up frustration, but man it was great to see. I was impressed when she did the power slid. However I still recon it was a mistake as the rear only came around when the second burn out started to smoke up. The funny part is she had his bike........................So you see you did miss a great avo. And she didn't get a coffee in the end.

[Stickchick]

Awwww that sucks!!!!! Best I get my headaches checked out so I don;t miss another ride then

[canarlee]

oh well, next time aye......

[Gixxer 4 ever]

but your mate Steve flew past me up the elbow and disapeared, flipping heck he was flying. :

He lives at the top of the hill. Turn right and go in about half a K. He worked on that road and drove it every day for years. Knows it like the back yard. He is a very good rider. He took me under his wing and showed me how to ride when I got my first bike. A all round nice guy. So at the top of the hill he turned off. We often do a full throttle power blast up the hill. I can assure you we can get massive speeds going up there.

Why thank you Chicky. A lot of water here but no damage yet. Too much more and we will have a lot of land slips. The drive way is a bit ruff but nothing I can't fix in a few days time.

Good save Mike. Well done that man. Gota look after da Moo's

Not as bad as the Tahapie Road yesterday had to cross a few rivers over the road, bleeding cockies getting me out in the rain.

You will be able to get that wet and ride to work soon :) Na she needs a dingy

[Dooly]

Everyone ok and not affected by this bad weather we are having? Just a little concerned...

I'm right in the thick of it.
Water under our bridge rose 12 feet in 4 hrs yesterday morning. Looked bad when I went to work at 7am. Our road was completely submerged by 8.30, wife was forced to stay home, no way out. The whole road and surrounding areas were flooded, including 2 houses on the flat in our road. Then a person decides to have a heart attack in our road so the choppers flew in to get them.
I came home at 12, could not get into our road, was under 4 feet of water, and had to go thru 4 police CD road blocks.
If there was time to committ a crime, yesterday was it, there were over a dozen cop cars from Valley Rd to my road.

One way with slips past the Chook & Filly and army unimogs ferrying residents, Fortunately my ute has knobbly tyres so I could grip thru all the mud and flooding on the road.

Managed to get home at 4.30 yesterday arvo, nearly a foot of mud up the road and an abandoned Hilux where the farmer had to escape via the window earlier in the day.
Then spent an hour under the bridge in feezing water waist deep by now sawing branches clogged around the poles.

Fortunately we are on a hill so had no damage, except driveway washout a bit down the bottom and a chunk out of the bridge by debris.

The devastation was unreal and seeing something like that first hand was freaky. Was just like on the news last night. The whole of Maraekakaho by the monument was a lake, all the houses surrounded, and the area wont be good for riding for a week or so I'd say.

Pissing down today, looks similar to yesterday, might take a drive down the road and look, but I'm staying put.

Customer of ours was caught in flooding in Flaxmere yesterday, sucked up water thru the air cleaner in his diesel truck, straight into the engine.......bent rods, $8000 thank you very much!

[Zukin]

I thought that we were going to read about you in the paper :gob:

Something along the lines of....

Man suffers agonising arm injuries

A Maraekakaho local is recovering at home after a 3 hour wait in waist deep water yesterday
The man known to many locals as Dooly, suffered severe cramps to his arms whilst battling freezing cold water in yesterdays floods.
As the water levels increased, Dooly made a survival swim to his garage where he took one of his most prized possessions under his arms to give it a chance at surviving the flood waters.

Dooly lifted his Ducati 1000SS/DS using sheer strength; he rested the bike on his shoulders, and waited until the water receded enough for emergency services to persuade Dooly to lower the bike. At times he was battling to stay afloat, and was in freezing water.

Unfortunately all of Doolys other valuable possessions were lost in the flood, when reporters asked about the 3 sheep, 1 cow, a chicken, 42inch big screen TV and his car, Dooly replied that they were replaceable.
When Dooly was asked what would be the first thing he would do when we made a full recovery, he said to clear the slips on the road, so I can take my bike to town to celebrate.

Doolys bike was unavailable for comment last night, but we can confirm that it is in Doolys bedroom recovering from its ordeal

:laugh::laugh:


Seriously dude
We are glad to hear that you are ok, and that your neighbours are ok too :yes:

Cheers Scott

[MSTRS]

Send that off to the Today. They might pay you and publish it.
Glad everyone has survived reasonably unscathed

[Stickchick]

Well I'm glad that the coutry fold are all ok so far. Not supposed to be any better today. fingers crossed it doesn't cause anymore damage

[BigG]

Well I'll not be there on Saterday to join you on your jet ski's, semi finals of the club champs if the course is not under water. I think most roads are going to be a bit dicy anyway, a good day to get prepaired for the footy eh. Going out your way Dooly to fix up some cockies pump that went under water.

[Stickchick]

Good luck with your golf Big G...Keep us updated on how you go

[Dooly]

Going out your way Dooly to fix up some cockies pump that went under water.

Be prepared for mud!
Its everywhere, and deep.

The road out our way is looking good, all things considered, but still a few rock slippages, best to avoid it for riding for a week or so I reckon.
Well past the bar/cafe way anyway.

[Dooly]

I thought that we were going to read about you in the paper :gob:

Something along the lines of....

Man suffers agonising arm injuries

A Maraekakaho local is recovering at home after a 3 hour wait in waist deep water yesterday
The man known to many locals as Dooly, suffered severe cramps to his arms whilst battling freezing cold water in yesterdays floods.
As the water levels increased, Dooly made a survival swim to his garage where he took one of his most prized possessions under his arms to give it a chance at surviving the flood waters.

Well past the bar/cafe way anyway. Ye it was deep up to me axle's on my Hilux, getting a heap of work through the flooding, a lot of the pumps are being shifted to higher ground, some of it is quite major. You had it real bad out that way it was unbaleivable, yes you'll be happy been on top of the hill.

[Stickchick]

:gob:OMG, I had my weekly phone call with my Mum last night and she blew me away. She asked how the bike riding was going? Now for Mum thats a huge thing as she really really hates me being on the bike. She seemed genuinely interested in how far I have gotten. She also mentioned again that she is hoping to see you guys so I'm hoping at some stage during the weekend that they are here you will be able to say Hi.

She also mentioned how happy I have been sounding too which she hasn't heard in my voice for a very long time. She is sooo lovely:love:

[canarlee]

is that this weekend?

[canarlee]

oh and glad to hear your mum is happy for you! must make you feel a little happier too!

[Stickchick]

Life is short and people are the important thing. Mind you I would like to congratulate you on your efforts to make things so good for yourself and the rest of us here in the Bay.

[canarlee]

aye there was still al little snow there when i came through this morning, not to mention a LOT of wild life!

[Stickchick]

Kiwifruit just texted and said that he was hit with a bit of snow after he dropped me off yesterday. I tell ya the ZX10 is not really made for an old person like me...My knee is still giving me jip but it is quite amazing how comfortable it really is even though pillons are perched quite high. he is an awesome rider too which made things even better. Reckons he may come over on the 28th so may need someone to house him as my house is full

[canarlee]

i got room here.......

[Stickchick]

Sweet I'll let him know once he has made up his mind as to what he is doing

[canarlee]

cool, i got a double bed and 2 sofas going spare!
