Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[Zukin]

Back to the topic of weekend rides, I can't ride on Saturday, I have Darts in Taupo. Anyone wanna ride with me on Sunday?


I have the perfect solution for you SC

Get a map of the North Island, throw a dart at it and go riding :niceone:
After all if you are good at darts you should be able to hit wherever you want to go:niceone::bleh:

I can be accurate at times, so keep a close eye on your tires if I'm riding with you:dodge:

You're just jealous that the old ChunderAce hasn't evolved past that Neanderthal stage. :Pokey: right back at yaI thought that was funny. I is just upset at the way we are performing in Moto GP. Superbikes is different though come on Haga.

Always welcome, mate. Next time tho, can you give me a couple minutes to 'fix' your brakes first...that'll get your average speed up :blink:

[QUOTE=canarlee;1195028]anyone interested in a midweek ride?



just to let people know, this ride (if it happens) is NOT an attempt at a wednesday ride to "split the week in two", it is purely as stated clearly and concisely in the 1st post on that thread as a ride for people that cant make the weekend ride!

[Stickchick]

Dude I don't really think you are getting at what Mstrs and Tart have said. They were just saying that there is normally a Wednesday night ride when daylight savings comes along. But if you want to organise a different night as well as the Wed Night then thats cool too, but their Wednesday ride is going to still happen because it splits the week in two.

[canarlee]

i know exactly what they are saying, that is why the thread title does not have a day on it, nor is there as yet a specific day within the original post. it is meant for people who cannot make the weekend ride. also, there is not a wednesday ride at the moment so what difference does it make? when there is a wednesday ride people can then choose to do one of or both rides, there is no "law" or "rule" to say that a ride has to take place on a certain day is there?

[DeltaBravo]

Tell you more? I don't think so. You'll find out (if you let me at those brakes and THEN you try to use them):devil2::whistle:

MSTRS looking forward to talking re brakes. As most will have guessed I also
do shiftwork. Swings & Roundabouts with that. The Saturday PM rides are my favorite, Summer Wed nights when I'm not working, sounds cool. My days off
during the week vary from week to week. But if anyone wants to Tee Up a ride during the week I'm interested. The friendship & camaraderie with you guys is second to none, you have made me feel very welcome.

I know that I'm closer to next Saturday than last , but work sucks . any how I just wanted to say I was most impressed with last Saturdays ride , far too often in the past I have ridden for the first time with unknown riders who are "just out for a slow ride " and have gotten upset when I've told them they ride like twats and they can shove there invite to the next ride . Thank you for restoring my faith in road riders , you guys and gals do as you say and I felt comfortable riding with you . Must admit to getting a giggle out of youth , entheuasim and a gravel driveway though . Hoping to get more time to ride with you , see you on the road , Dennis.

We aren't a bad bunch really, just misunderstood sometimes:niceone::msn-wink:

[canarlee]

ok, i had the last thread i made removed.

i have put a new thread up >>>> http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=56593 <<< this one clearly states in the title and within it is not for wednesdays! so can we not spoil it please people (you know who you are).


it is for people that cant make the only ride there is in HB at the moment which is held on a saturday, although there will be a wednesday ride this one cannot be on a wednesday due to other people being upset by it!?

if anyone is interested can they post there or drop me a pm and we will see if we can arrange something!

it is only an idea at the moment to see if there is any interest.

[yungatart]

It was good to meet you and have you along with us.
I hope I didn't hold you up too much.....

Was nice to meet you too. We tend to pitch our rides at the level reqd of who attends on the day. That varies from week to week, but we never ride like cocks....

[Zukin]

I am thinking of doing a large loop on the gravel roads down the ranges to Dannevirke and then out to the coast tomorrow? (Not yet confirmed)

[speights_bud]

Weather looks great for tomoorow, However unless my toyota starlet magically turns into a Gixxer overnight i won't be able to join you guys, on monday morning heading to work the Mighty GPX finally sucked the Kūmara. Looks like i managed to kill it before it killed me. Which is a good thing i guess :) Cooked a big end bearing though, piston also hit the head and squashed a ring. Found out this afternoon that the crank is buggered too. Whadda ya expect from a 250 with 72,000km's on the clock and ridden like i did? Ohwell something to do i guess:rockon: hehe, Rebuild time!! Donate me a new bike anyone?

think about the pm i sent ya, for tomorow!

[Zukin]

Well you have guessed that I haven't gone on my gravel ride :pinch:

But what do you reckon about heading down to Kairakau Beach this afternoon?
It is about 80km down there, and then I thought we could head back via Patangata and then home via Te Onepu etc?
All up only about 180km clicks?

Your thoughts
Scott

[canarlee]

the weather looks awesome out there today!

hope its a good turn out as it will be the last weekend ride i can make!:( and i wont be able to make the wednesday ride either (when it happens)!!!

Hey sshhhh on the broken toe or someone will tell you it was an injury accident and you should be reporting it to the Police inside 24 hours or have you done that aleady? http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/roadcode/about-driver-responsibility/crashes.html

Shame about the bike too when it was a good one.

[Colapop]

Jaeses G! Don't be playing silly like that. May be time for a HB stunt bike...? :rolleyes: By the look of the site, you were lucky it wasn't worse...

[Stickchick]

Big G, I'm sorry to hear about your bin dude!!! Glad your ok, looks like it could have been worse. I'm still in Taupo so probably no riding for me today. Mind you weather over here is pretty crappy.

[Zukin]

Jaeses G! Don't be playing silly like that. May be time for a HB stunt bike...? :rolleyes: By the look of the site, you were lucky it wasn't worse...

Very very lucky

The bank down was significant, so was the steel post sticking out of the ground mm from the initial impact.
Apparently on the last flip of the bike (which cleared the fence), it was very lucky not to land on BigG

It went end for end a few times :eek:

So someone was looking out for our KBHB brother :), but then again why was that pine cone there in the first place :bleh:

Pics

1. The road (where the last bike is parked in about where BigG was already in the grass)

2. He was just on the road side of the marker there, riding on the grass and doing ok by the look of it :yes:

3. In this image, you will see 2 dark patches of dirt (just behind BigG in the blue leathers), this is the point of impact, it was huge washout!!:eek5:, you can also see how far the bike went after flipping over and over, BigG ended up leaning against the fence :eek:

4. Close up of the washout! The yellow thing in the foreground is the steel post sticking out which held the marker up (now laying down)

5. Pics of the bike
6. Pics of the bike

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Hi G. Bugger mate. Pleased to hear you are ok. I heard about it last night and was pleased to hear you were ok. Bikes can be fixed or replaced. Thank God you are ok. It looks like it could have been a lot worse for you. Well done that man. We dropped off early cos of work. Sorry we were not able to help you. Take care buddy. Steve

[MSTRS]

Yea BigG, you were a lucky boy. Seeing where you went over, I don't like to think about what might have been. We are all commiserating with you over the demise of your pride and joy (and she was a true minter). Broken toe, eh? No wonder you were limping a bit. I don't know how you managed to climb on the gixxer, now I'm doubly glad that I chose to go real easy. BTW you are a good pillion.
Speedy recovery, and a quick resolution with the insurance, mate. If there is anything else I can do to help, just sing out.

[Zukin]

A few bike shots :crybaby:

This bike was a minter, when I first saw the bike that week (and not knowing my sports bikes :confused:) I thought it was a new bike!!

Still BigG at least you are ok, that is all that matters to us!
And give us a call when you are ready to go shopping for a new one, the KBHB clan can tag along, they say power in numbers :clap:

If you want to ride this weekend, you are welcome to ride an Old Mans bike (apparently) my Beemer if you like, I will not be here this weekend, so wont be able to ride!

[MSTRS]

Good on you, Scott. The mark of a true gentleman, offering another the use of your bike. This is what KB means to us here in Hawkes Bay - never leave a mate stranded.

[robertydog]

Sorry to hear about this G. Hope the body is not to banged up this morning.

[canarlee]

damn G thats crap mate:(

i cant say anymore than what has allready been said above. am just glad it wasnt worse aye!


try going to a sauna, believe it or not it will help soothe any muscle bruising (remember to drink LOTS of water if you do)

[canarlee]

oh and my first night on the job went very well. they are very eager to keep me on:D






they must be bloody mad lol

[yungatart]

George, when we came around the corner and saw your pride and joy in the paddock, I nearly cried. I am so glad that you are ok tho. As others have said, bikes are replaceable, people are not.
Rest up mate, and keep taking that Arnica...trust me, it will even help your broken toe!
Let us know if you need anything.

[BigG]

Shame about the bike too when it was a good one. Done all the right things did not inform the police as was not nessasery, got checked out at Hospital though and they say everythink sweet.

[canarlee]

good to hear that mate!

now instead of a thunderace for your next bike look at one of the new bkings (suzuki) a naked busa it is!

New Warrant? I will be coming to play this weekend. The trip back from Taupo on Kiwifruits ZX10 has set me back a little with my neck but nothing a few cracks for the professionals won't fix though. I'm in need of a new helmet though so thats on my priority list.

Ahem...whose bike?
Actually, only realised who you lot were when I saw your bike, Steve...too late to stop and turn around. I'd promised my stepdaughter a thrill (think I delivered, judging by the grin when we got home). Did note a HD, but had no idea whose and the 3rd bike was a complete mystery until I read it here.
Mrs Wasp27 - you looked right at home:2thumbsup

[Meekey_Mouse]

Hey guys and gals, thanks for the great ride :) It was really nice to meet/catch up with you all... You have awesome roads around Hawkes bay!

Sorry about your off G, Really pleased you're ok, I thought you were going to be in much worse condition when I saw your bike.

Arrived home safe and sound :) was a wet and windy ride most of the way, I realized my cordura pants leak :pinch: but was nice to be out on the road again!

Thanks every one for putting up with my 2stroke fumes :p Hope fully see you all again some time soon :2thumbsup

Hi All.
Can you help me with people that can weld plastics for bikes? No not for my Gixxer....but one should say that quietly cos it will happen eventually..but for a friend who needs some work done. No not BigG. Well he might but thats not who I am asking for.
Here in the Hawkes Bay but other areas would work if they are good.
Thanks Steve

And why aren't you out on the farm :buggerd:
I just came past your place (I went up to Gisborne and back this am) and wondered where you might be?

My brother has a very good friend in Hastings that welds plastics (for cars and other things, not sure about bikes though)

I can contact him if you like? :2thumbsup

Cheers

Ummm more to the point Why are you on K/B? Will have to get it blocked to your server. Now where is that teck man............

Thanks Zukin.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Ahem...whose bike?
Actually, only realised who you lot were when I saw your bike, Steve...too late to stop and turn around. I'd promised my stepdaughter a thrill (think I delivered, judging by the grin when we got home). Did note a HD, but had no idea whose and the 3rd bike was a complete mystery until I read it here.
Mrs Wasp27 - you looked right at home:2thumbsup

Ummmm Your bike John. :laugh: But the ladies make em look better.
Warrick was in the front then Donna then me.
I could see the grin from my seat mate.:laugh:

Corner is quite decieving, you enter coming over a crest and it looks more like it has a kink in the straight after, not an actual continuingg right hander then a left hander also. it mighta caught me out aswell if i hadn't been behaving.

Either Way, We're all glad you walked away in one piece Big G. Hopefully you'll be back with us before long :) best of luck with healing up and selecting a new bike. I'll keep it brief here and not suggest anything in particular :rolleyes: ...Gixxer...:drool:

Photos do not show everything....besides, if hitting a pinecone flicked the bike sideways onto the grass verge at whatever speed he was doing, could you have saved it? I doubt it. Especially when the ground took a leave of absence...

Thats a nice bike but they call it an 08 and it is the middle of 07. Is that good? Thats very futuristic don't you think?

Zuki will bring their 08 out near the end of the 07 year. Then it will be more up to date than the old 08 R6.

P.S how's the hunting going 'G'....any hints...maybe we could run a sweep...eenee-meanee-minee-mo- which bloody way will he go? hehehehe
Yes...I'm most curious too. Thanks again for the offer W, most generous of you. Nice to meet you too Col not to mention seeing the rest of you for the first time since the Anzac day ride, awesome day for it. I think it's about time there was another Manawatu/Dannevirke/Hawkes Bay ride. Col can even come along just as long as he promises to not try to break my ribs again!! Daylight savings is due to change over at the end of the month I think so that might be a good time to think about another co-operative ride. Cheers guys see you again soon, John (Sarge)

I could see you Hardly riding... :laugh: I was in the Susuki shop in Masterton on Friday and they had a brand new GSXr 750 in there I drooled a bit but the guy kicked us out when I asked him if he had any Yamaha's for sale.

[Colapop]

Trainer wheels? More like Zimmer frame supports aren't they? I was looking into it as a back-up ride for you G. But I won't say anything as I know you're getting sensitive about your advancing years...

[canarlee]

[Stickchick]

Well I finally got to ride to work today YAY!!!!!! Mstrs, my bike took a litre of oil this morning whats with that?

[MSTRS]

A litre?? You checked the level through the sight-glass, right? Was the bike on it's stand or did you stand it upright first?

[Stickchick]

A litre?? You checked the level through the sight-glass, right? Was the bike on it's stand or did you stand it upright first?

I stood it up and also Col was there to get the right oil for me too otherwise I wouldn't have a clue. When we stood it upright this morning we couldn;t see any oil in the sight glass, now she is full. All good so thanks for the tip on "checking your bike before riding" the other day otherwise I may have been in trouble as I would have been none the wiser.

[MSTRS]

This I have to see for myself. I changed the oil recently and it's hardly been ridden as you know. It doesn't burn oil and it doesn't leak oil.

Hope Cols not putting me crook then!!!!

[MSTRS]

Muchos dittos. Where be the boyman today?

[Stickchick]

On his way home now I think. So can you overfill our oil and if so what will it do?

[MSTRS]

You are at work, right? T+G Williams St?

[Stickchick]

You are at work, right? T+G Williams St?

Yep sure am...Its turners and growers or Enza

[MSTRS]

I'll come over then. Now is good?

[Stickchick]

I'll come over then. Now is good?

Yep we are 405 Williams Street and turn into the last driveway RIGHT on the corner of Williams and Nelson Street (They join at the end). I'll be out there in about 10 - 15 mins

[Stickchick]

John to the rescue once again....THANKS HEAPS!!!!! I don't know where I would be if I never met you guys!!!! You are sooo awesome. Tart should make a superman outfit for ya....with a comment the back saying "Stickchicks saviour...again".:niceone:

[robertydog]

Did you get a warrenty with that purcahse?

[robertydog]

I'll come over then. Now is good?

I sense a bit of panic:jerry::jerry:

Need help with your spelling? :argue:

I sense a bit of panic
Well, someone should be panicking....

[MSTRS]

I drained out over 500mls cos someone over-filled it. Someone needs to be more careful with the level in the sightglass. And someone needs to check that the correct type of oil is put in a motorcycle...Shell Helix Fully-synthetic in the silver pack is great oil - in a new(ish) high-performance car engine.

bugger! good save. just out of interest, what happens if there is too much oil? i have an idea its not good, but not sure what exactly happens.

ive done that... overfilled the gn once. and the virago once. have also ridden a gn from wangas to levin and back with NO oil and still she ran [albeit a tad rattlier]

[MSTRS]

...what happens if there is too much oil? ...

Hard to say. But one or more of three things can happen.
1. Nothing
2. Excess will be forced through the crankcase breather into the air filter box
3. Excess will be pressurised up past the rings
A small excess amount is unlikely to be a problem , but 20-25% over...who knows.

[sunhuntin]

thanks for that. i know at work, if the oil in a car is over half full, we recommend the driver to check in a week, stating that having too much is as bad as having nothing, but ive never known the reason why.

Erm... yeah.... So maybe I got a little enthusiastic with the oil filling thing... BUT it did need oil and I had intended to put only half a litre in ... just that the enthusiasm thingy took over!

Thanks again HB peeps for a great weekend. It's good to have a bunch of friends who can handle having me around for longer than 5 minutes. And handle the hugs... of course how many other people would let you lot give them the grief that I let you give me? Or lend me the clothes off their back... literally... :devil2:

Interesting to see the reactions when I took my helmet off too!

[Stickchick]

Or lend me the clothes off their back... literally... :devil2:

[robertydog]

[yungatart]

Not that I had much choice in the matter, they were literally ripped from my torso....what is it about you, my underwear and pink...I am getting very concerned.....

[Colapop]

You forgot to mention having my hands up your jumper... :devil2:

[MSTRS]

I am another who is becoming very concerned....I'm not allowed to put my hands up her jumper:crybaby:

[yungatart]

You forgot to mention having my hands up your jumper... :devil2:

Go on , admit it...you just can't leave me (or my underwear) alone!
We are being watched here, Col, somethings are best kept as secrets....:innocent:

[Colapop]

No secrets Janet! Let the whole world know of our love! :love: We shall hide no more!

- Tell Zac he has a new Daddy...

[yungatart]

Aah, I see it now! Our relationship will continue, just as it has been....you want to warm your hands, so be it, you want to steal my underwear, so be it...I don't get any say in the matter?
BTW, Zac is hiding under his bed, rocking and crying softly to himself.....

[canarlee]

What, are you feeling guilty...again?:laugh:
Conscience playing up?





He isn't referring to you BTW...

i know he wasnt refering to me. it was just a comment that i think most understood to be a joke.......

[Hitcher]

So am I...

Say in the matter? The only thing you need say is... "Your eggs are ready..."

[MSTRS]

Say in the matter? The only thing you need say is... "Your eggs are ready..."

Poor misguided fool...
Whispered aside for the rest of you "What he doesn't realise is that he is about to get his eggs served up to him alright"

[Stickchick]

This is what happens when you give Colapop ideas about what he would look like your in camisole...isn;t that right Tart?

[Maha]

Im suprised it fitted...whoever that camisole belongs to must be enormous....:eek: but those things he has wrapped around his legs are a perfect fit....:bleh:

[Stickchick]

You can always leave home earlier and take the long way to work, then take the long way home. Via Taupo perhaps?

Hey guys

Thought i'd let you all know that there will be racing on THIS weekend in manfield. It is a two-day event (Sat & Sun), the races are endurance so there should be some good action and battles to see going on :D:banana:

I will be heading down on friday afternoon in the car with Zac, (make a little road trip of it) and staying in fielding on friday night.

MSTRS and Tart will be coming down on sat at somestage if anyone wishes to get in contact with them and make a ride out of it then feel free to do so :).

I will also be riding in the F3 Class for Team Cudby on a NSR600. so im hoping that'll all go well :). (Sadly the GPX's race days are over.)

(P.s I have had a peek a the race entries and see that Craig Sherriffs has registered for the first time this round on his GSXR1000 :D )

[Stickchick]

Sorry dude, wish I could be there to support ya but I'm visiting my Cousin in Auckland. But go hard and stay upright!!!!! get someone to text me and let me know how you are going as I will be keen for the updates
