Hawkes Bay: Hawke's Bay weekend rides [Archive]

Okay, folks.
Daylight Saving time is over so our midweek rides are moving to the weekend.
It will be really hard to please everyone, but I'll give it a go.
Rides will take place on Saturday avo, leaving from BP Taradale Rd at 1.30pm.
First ride is this coming Saturday (24 March) - if the weather turns to crap on any Saturday (highly unlikely in HB!), we can move the ride to Sunday.

I believe we will be joined by an Aucklander for our first outing...:innocent:

Same "rules" as for our midweek rides- these rides are suitable for newbies, inexperienced riders and of course, our resident Nana rider/s

Look forward to seeing you all there!

I may not be there on Saturday:crybaby:

When I dropped my bike a couple of weeks ago, I smacked the helmet - I am having big trouble trying to find a replacement - appears that I have an extra small head!! Can get a helmet to fit, but can't put my glasses on, I'm bad enough with them, what would I be like without them???

Busa pete is extremely cheeky - but only when he's far away...I think he needs the stick! :dodge:

Do you want to try my helmet for size, my head is bout 55cm at widest point around my 4head, its snug and very comfortable. Can call in with if you want to try it. Shoei does differant size shells as well so if you have a small head you don't end up looking like some type of martian with a huge shell planted on your head.

Gixxer 4 ever

21st March 2007, 17:34

you have a small head .

Hmmm funny how the two small heads belong to da girls of the group. I wounder if that is relevant to the size of the br.....

All the above. Actually while your at it you might as well just jump on the biked naked and go for a strop, there are some interesting photos of what happens to the human body, especially particular parts, naked at high speed.

Gotta be a vid on u tube somewhere of that one, hummm, next entertainment for the day.

Was a bloody good ride. We left the goats alone Tart. But we hit a half grown pheasant at +40. Coming out of a right hander then a left hander. As we went from sun to shade outa the left hander there it was. I stood the bike up and backed the throttle off and grabbed a big hand full of brake but as I grabbed the lever it jumped to fly and hit my right hand. Whack. It hit the underside of my hand and dropped down the side of the bike. I lost sight of it then as I looked a long way ahead and let the brake off. The hit bent the front brake lever. Mary saw it drop on to the road and then disappear under the rear wheel. I didn't feel the bump but with the big hit to my hand it had to lock the front and maybe the thump was the back coming back down. Anyway I looked in the mirror to see it trying to fly off to the left of the road. What an adrenalin rush....................... Bloody good feeling after it was all over. (and he got a tight cuddle from me as we prepared to go through the bird! It certainly didn't look like it was going anywhere,just waiting for us to bring it on!)

Nice to see you Hitcher and your lady. Also Micro and Pillon. Sorry we didn't get to chat but we had to get home and get stuff done. To the other H/B riders...Thanks for nice avo out. Till next week............. We missed the ones that didn't come.........Roll on next week..........

24th March 2007, 20:28

Lucky escape there mate.

I think I saw a pile of them standing on the road by a gate on the LH side as you turned out of the corner, probably those bastards.

What a great road that is.
Enjoyed it.

I would say so. Just before the first big hill. I did see others but I was a bit distracted by the suicidal one.

As you do.

They were walking down the road looking for their mummies till they got run over. That's a good thing cos the pukekos come out to eat them and they get run over so by the end we have a safeish road again.

My fingers are still quite sore.

EDIT: Better clean the shit of the tank and the side of the bike. Hope it is bird shit.......

It really is a road that you have to have your wits about you..I think that I have never been on it without seeing wandering sheep/goats/bulls/birds or summat thinking they own it!
Sounds like you had a bit of fun G4E!
.

I did the road again today. Cranked the speed up a bit and had a boy ride. Was great. No sun strike but 3 sheep a dozen goats and a Hawke. Not bad for that road. The surface was clean and a real buzz to ride on. I think I will sit on the couch and watch the V8's for the avo. I love riding............

Was the Honda club in Gisy or somethin over the weekend? Had a great ride with two I caught up to. They lifted the pace and it was fun. Mr Plod was sitting at the shop with his tax gathering thing going. Thanks God for the detector :-)

Nope definitely not.. Hey thanks again to you guys for the hospitality... Was great :Punk:

The pillion is hooked and convinced me that we should take a tiki-tour, so we left your place and went for a ride down toward Hastings way and back through some Pa settlement thing... Thank god for the GPS :shit:

Just got back to good ol' Auckland (and no it wasnt raining - Well not yet...).. 4.25 hour trip which was OK I thought.. Dam cars that dont get out of the way :innocent:

Was such a pearler this morning (cant believe the weather down there), so decided to stick around for a while.. so we ended up in some random beach (umm, Ocean View something or rather)... Dam twisty road towards the end and a short piece of gravel road then down a one way road towards the beach (just down from Kidnappers I believe)...

Anyway, thanks again and see ya soon

Was the Honda club in Gisy or somethin over the weekend? Had a great ride with two I caught up to. going.

It was the big Ulyssess rally.

Took the missus for a ride down the road to the Tiko pub for a bite. First time she's been pillon for 8 yrs.
Went on the Ducati, since the Trip is'nt user friendly for pillons
There was an old grizzled biker sitting outside having a drink.
He had been at the Uyssess event and told us all about it.
Was great yakking to him about his biking adventures over the years

Lots of bikes passing past.

The missus is now asking....'where we going next week!'.
Damn.

Wheres the ride this weekend?

I'm not sure I can make it tommorrow, as due to the weather this week, I've got nothing done around the farm and have to have a day on the mowers etc, and do some jobs I normally do during the week.
Plus have to go get a horsefloat for the missus, so its not looking good.

I'll definately ride on Sunday somewhere, so if I'm not there by 1.30 assume I wont be coming.

Have a good one.

Hi W.
The goats go at 9.45. Thank goodness. That's the end of them for another fortnight. Jim2 has a bike in the Bay for kneescraper (sp) he is going to drop off here at some time. I will work that out with him tonight and see what plans he has. I would like a ride. So how about Taihape road Pukeamomo (sp) loop back to Taihape road up the back to Bay View and end here for a tea or coffee? Leave da bike here for KS and give Jim2 a ride back to town. He is staying with MSTRS.

How would that work for you Dooly?

All subject to Jim2's plans.

K Just spoke to MSTRS. They will be at Tutira. So we could do the ride above or change it a bit to suit the day and be at the lake at 12.30-1ish to meet Jim2 and MSTRS and Tart etc. Then back here to drop the bike off and home.

I could be in town at 11.30 if the Goat job goes as it should. Meet at the BP Taradale road 11.30? If any other KBer's are in Hawkes Bay and want to join us come along. We are a slow riding group and will stick to the 100-110 Kmh mark so if that is too slow best you don't come on this ride. The back roads are fun with great views and assorted roads.

C U Tomorrow. If it rains see you next week end.......maybe.......................

Plans unknown at this stage, but fairly sure it will be early arvo, as things to do in the morn.
The neighbour and his missus asked us to go for a ride with them tommorrow last week but nothings finalised yet, but they were talking a ride and a bite to eat etc, but unsure of which direction.

Thats cool. Invite the neighbour out for a Saturday ride some time. Always nice to meet new people. Have a great ride you 2

It has just occurred to me, being a man and all, :yawn: you will all need an early lunch cos I don't think Tart and co want to feed us at the lake. :gob: only because they don't know how many might turn up. Aye Tart. :innocent:

But tea and coffee here with a muffin on the way home. I will leave Mr's Gixxer 4 ever :love: here to get the muffins made. Chocolate chip ones, I recon. Big chips...like button chips. :2thumbsup Yea button sized chips. :woohoo:

So if you are in the Bay and want a :scooter: and a bit of Muffin bloody turn up for the ride. Taradale BP 11.30. Thats the leave time :yes:

Nice day's outing today.

Thanks Steve and Mary for the hospitality.

No complaints from the pillon seat. Guess the stories about the Triple being poor for pilloning are a bit off the mark.
She nearly fell off the back on the way home on HW50 when the ponies were unleashed but hey.......I was fine..:yes:

:rofl: :rofl:
What a great day.

Real woman have no problems with small pillon seats. :first:

And this is for letting the ponies out to play :spanking: :killingme :killingme

Valley Road onto Raukawa Road to Argyle is very narrow and heaps of tight corners, its a good ride on this road but you got to be carefull, you could go a short way on Raukawa Road then turn down Te Onapue Road, to the main drag to Otane, then to your favourite spot. But it is a good ride on a good day.:second:

Never been up Valley rd or Argylle way so was just throwing suggestions at it.
Raukawa is good, especially after going thru Whakapirau then.
Maybe Raukawa then Te Onepu, then Otane.

Looks great - but too twisty for me, would take me all day to get halfway there, and then I'd need to lie down and have a nap :zzzz:

I reckon you and me go on a short ride .. with a coffee stop in the middle :)

How about this guys/gals? For Saturday.

Click on the link.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/ctfag/ride1.jpg

Been looking on my map and have marked out a route in green.
Basically goes from Napier then off HW50 thru Valley Rd etc to Argylle, thru Otane to our fav pitstop Patangata pub, then back the other way Kahuranaki Rd, the opposite way we normally go, to Napier/Hav etc.
Looks a good ride, but on the map only about 24 inches:D

Maybe meet a bit earlier to allow for a drink at the Patangata etc, what do you all think?

Sorry I can't make it this week but the ride you have mapped out is a good ride. We have done it before and it is 10/10.

Wise to do the Kahuranaki Rd because there will be a lota bikes out and midle road will be a race track for sure.

Hey Dooly. Congrats on setting up the map for an excellent scenic route. Intending riders can print it off and refer to it in the (unlikely) event that they get lost. Yeah, a pit stop at Patangata is essential. Socialising is one of the important factors of a ride such as this. Corners are the other factor.

But hey, those who are a little bit intimidated - don't be! You ALWAYS ride at the speed THAT YOU feel comfortable at. Always!!!!!!!!

I would've fronted 'cept for a planned Ulysses ride.

Gave the missus a thrill down the Patangata straight, 220k. She said she felt like she was going to be blown off the back.
Naked bikes and wind!!!

The Chook & Filly cafe is starting to turn into a weekend drop in spot for bikers now. I've noticed quite a few there in the weekends now.
Once again another good feed.

I'm all biked out now. Most weekend riding I've done for ages.
Almost sure I'll keep the Trumpy now, enjoyed it so much.
Will spend tommorrow relaxing, mucking about, not going anywhere.
Anyone out cruising my way is welcome for a brew etc.

I think the new Duc will be much more suitable for the pillon, but she loves the Trumpy and does'nt mind the tiny perch behind me at all.

No family today mate, just us two chilling out, and mucking around. Might get the tractor going, and watch the bikers go past on HW50.

I can't ride tomorrow Wasp cos Speights_bud has my bike in Pram. :shutup: Going to be a long day for me with out it. Hope you kick him outa bed at 5.30 Tart. I don't want him doing the Pram trip in one and a half hours on my bike. She is not up to that sort of thing :innocent:

Nice to see you back Alice. We missed you girl. As Dooly said.nice lines. You have done more k's in the last 4 months than some people do in a life time. You :Punk: . Time you got off the 250 and took some real pony's out to play. Alice has done a few more than that in the passed Dooly.

I put the seat on incase she was there today. Next week maybe. She would have had a great ride on da Gixxer today. I got the Demons out today. Feel so good now. I am so in love with this bike and it's sounds as it comes up the gorge to the pub. I think you heard it coming Tart.

Was going to catch up with y'all and introduce myself this weekend but the timing didn't work out.

I went for a ride by myself up the Wairoa Road this morning anyway, but after three scares in quick succession I came home again before reaching Tutira :D

First was that lovely patch of gravel across the road coming down the hill towards Devil's elbow (almost a brown trouser moment finding that), then just around the elbow I got hit full in the visor by an unfortunate sparrow, then moments later as I was recovering from the sparrow I overcooked a corner and gave myself another fright. Decided to take the hint and went home.

Maybe see you guys next weekend...

Yeah..I saw you at Westshore on Sunday......Like the look of the new Yammy.....just been reading an article about them in the M/C Trader...low and behold, drive down the road about 1/2 a click and there you were...:scooter: That YRoa road is becoming a regular haunt for us...we're very lucky that Gizza4ever knows every stone on that road...he will gladly give you the learn.:innocent: ..save on the laundry too:yes: Sorry about Sundays ride Dooly...My Mums still crook...., we were all suited up ready to go out the door and the phone rang.....I managed to take the Duchess for a putt putt later on in the afternoon....had a good day today..sold our ute...its bloody good having money coming IN for a change...its not something I know much about.

I reckon (via the back roads) about an hour to Waipuk and about another 1/2 hour to there :yes:
Then back via Patangata to home, so we should be home about 5ish??
We can take a more direct route if time is against us?

Great afternoons riding. You have a very healthy KB weekend ride group going on up there. Good to put a few more names to bikes and KB identities but it takes me a few meetings till I actually remember people.

Only dissapointment was Alice (Alice is the wide-band navigation system of Telecom Italia, offering web navigation at ADSL speed with lots of special content: music, games, movies, sport and much, much more. Alice is a Ducati Corse Official Sponsor.) not being on the ride as I wanted to hear all the gossip from the trackday she was at on Friday.

Definately wanna get up there again some time.

Was only meant to keep one so have to knuckle down and save cash........says that now as the missus has just gone off to buy another damn horse!
Dunno how she's meant to ride 5 at once.

Funnily enough she said today when we went for a short blast that she found the uncomfortable looking perch of the Speed Triple at least as comfortable as the Duc, if not better.

Awesome long straight.
Was so long I was moving around on the bike for ages trying to crouch right down in different positions to try and see what position got the most speed.

Yeah Ducs are great, not as fast as an inline four Jappa, but neat sound, handle well, and look cool.
Mind you the triple of Triumph is different again.
But in saying that I sure like the look of the Yamaha R1.
That's a IL4 I'd have anyday.

Found the same the last time I stopped there. There's a little cafe on the corner of the main drag and the Masterton turn off that's not too bad or a short distance through to the gorge and the cafe just over the bridge serves a good feed.

I am thinking whats wrong with you guys heading south on the main road and us heading north and when we spot each other we will stop on the side of the road and meet up. then we can head out towards wimbilton or webber or middlw road or somewhere out that way. We are easy to spot in a group. We are planning on leaving at 930 so should be somewhere near waipuk at 1030ish. What peoples thoughts?

I have a plan. What say the Ashurst crew head up to Dannevirke, head north east to Waipuk via Hatuma as it looks like there are some some nice back roads enroute.

Meet the Napier guys at Wiapuk, have lunch there or take a spin somewhere else if there's anything around that way.

I'm equally OK with a packed lunch beside a lake or something as well:yes:

Failing that, we could all try and make it one weekend depending on numbers and prior commitments.

This sounds good. We could come down to Norsewood Join up and go to Kopua Hatuma Waipawa Patangata. Lunch ? Then back to Waipawa Tikokino. From there we turn right and you go left. Off home.

Some one will need to bring a map cos I do not know my way around the Kopua area. I have done it and it is a great ride but I will get you lost with out a map.

Are you coming W ? If yes could you have a look at your map and pick a few roads from Kopua to Hatuma?

Who thinks they might come from H/B? What time can you get away? Subject to ANZAC day commitments of course

Can we get to the Hatuma lake?

I'm doing the Taradale Anzac parade - think its at 10? So count me out - although I could ride down to Tiko and meet you guys there if you could give me an approximate time???
Or I could ride with Dooly and stepson???

You and him could race, see who can get the fastest out of the 250s.
I know yours can do at least 135, he has seen 150, just, with tail wind.........
