Ashhurst boys riding Easter Saturday...

[cowboyz]

we need a plan. Meanie is still trying to catch all the fish in the south island so he is out. Who is in and where are we going? Lake ferry was suggested so unless someone comes up with a better idea that might be it.

Come on bonez,yod,86gsxr,chancey and co. Will be good to catch up with everyone again. Seems like forever since the last ride.

[Storm]

You just want to show off your flash new ride so everyone will get home, jumpon KB and tell the world your bike is no longer to be referred to as a piece of s&^t :bleh:

[dhunt]

Could be keen Lance but not 100% sure yet. Will txt you Friday about it maybe.

I dunna care where i go .. as long as its on da bike ... depends on where 86 & i decide to stop for the nite too I guess ;) where are all the cheap places over the east side ?? :yes:

ps never been to lake ferry but have been to webber ;)

& its official I am the slowest .. but its not a prob :D I am happy to poodle out the back as long as you wait at intersections :yes: :innocent:

[cowboyz]

i am not staying anywhere overnight as I have to be back in palmerston sunday morning early.

[chanceyy]

Yup got that ... neither is U4ea .. will be fun to ride on sat though

depending on weather we thinking of heading to welly on sunday for newbie ride too & perhaps piecock hill on way home :innocent: ( I might be brave by then :yes:)

[yod]

yo...im here and i should be in...(with my newly painted fairing...better not bin it I spose!)....might be able to get phil along too before someone snaps up his t-rex

weather is actually looking better for tomorrow tho...sat might be a bit damp?

see here (http://metservice.com/default/index.php?alias=palmerston_north)

i can meet up wherever suits so just make the plan and i'll do me best - i need to be back in palmy same day tho - got rellies arriving.....ahwell....i'll go as far as i can then turn back

[yod]

83 Yamaha RZ350

you really ride one of these babies chancey?? i haven't seen one in years!!
the first road bike i got was an 87 NS250R (see profile pic)...my cuzzy had an 86 (i think) RZ250 - we were the south chch 2-stroker twins...had a fekkin ball blasting around canterbury until he had to sell his and i moved on to a 4-stroke... i always wanted to try out an NS400R but never got the chance

must go like a shower of sh*t??

[chanceyy]

nods am working morrow .. horses feet & hairdressing ...

also did not want to be on roads fri/mon being a newbie still figured sat/sun would be less traffic .. fingers crossed weather holds ;) ..

[yod]

yep no worries....thought maybe the back roads on the east side might be pretty quiet anyway?? you guys would know better than me tho...haven't been riding in the manawatu that long...

[86GSXR]

Hey guys:yes: Just checked the forecast, they're saying rain spreading from the southwest for the NI on Sat. So, guess that means we head north east and try and beat it back home.

I'll be at Ashurst 9.00 to head to Shannon, and in keeping with tradition, decide from there, what do ya reckon:yes:

[yod]

nice....so its a 2 cyl 350? i guess it was easier to find 250 panels than 350 ones? looks like you've tidied her up well! although that rear tyre looks suspiciously flat in a couple of those pics hehe...or was it just the rider?? hehe

i finally got a replacement fairing for the viffer and got it painted today now she looks the way she should http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1003510#post1003510 :rockon:

Yes, we must do an endurance test on Betsy, I'm sure she's quite good for it, knowing Yamaha.:rockon:

Small tank? - Garage:yes:

[cowboyz]

well not big enough to make it back from the coast to coast anyway. run out about 5 miles past the middle of nowhere. It was quite funny at the time and it is healthy ammo to through at him every now and then

[yod]

Small tank? - Garage:yes:

haha....nah phil ran out of gas :shutup: on the coast to coast ride i think?? cowboyz was on the ride too....i only heard about it when i first bumped into cowboyz a couple of weeks ago up at vinegar hill....:yes:

[dogsnbikes]

Its always smooth sailing Al but think the passengers beg to differ at times :sick:

ohh yeah well she has a humerous few bits on her .. but since i am on a learners riding a 350 would be a :nono: .. so a 250 is legal :yes:

I am sure in the garage is the legal requirements of 350 side panels ..

the bike had not been running for at least 2-3 yrs conservately .. & yes the tires were flat when the pics were taken .. but at that time she was definately not legal in any sense of the word & i live 6 odd ks from town had to wait til we foot pumped it ;) & nope it was not the rider .. ;)

[yod]

but since i am on a learners riding a 350 would be a :nono: .. so a 250 is legal :yes:

haha...nice....i just go for the no-decals-at-all look to get by.....i got my learners so long ago i can barely remember it and then just never got round to finishing it all off....only got my restricted about 6 weeks ago but at least now im an old fart i only have to wait a few months until i can get my full :yes:

Hell yeah:yes: Oh well, if it's any consolation, my bike has a small tank too, though she's not worried about it - say's it makes her go faster:gob: Not that I've noticed tho.
