Sunday 5th Sept Wellington Ride to meet Quasi, Loosebruce & Cajun.

[Ms Piggy]

Hey me and LooseBruce cajun are riding down to Welly this weekend, hope you guys can meet up for a ride on Sunday, do you wanna organise one for us ?

I won't be able to come on the ride myself :mellow: but how about the usual (and unusual) supsects meet at Rimutaka Caltex at say 10am?

Just to go for a blat & meet these likely lads from the North. :niceone:

Anybody else wanna be "in charge" of details from here on in.

Cheers Cathy

Rimitaka Caltex mmmmm I wonder wherethat is ??? I hope WT will ride so he can show us ....WT ??

Loosebruce is a local anyway so you don't have to worry about a thing.

I'd like to know where it is too... haven't been that way in at least 20 years

Rimutaka Caltex is on the main road from Upper Hutt .

If you go up the motorway (up River Road) it joins up with Fergusson Drive eventually.

Caltex Rimutaka is about 800km's south of the turnoff to the Akatarawa Rd and the Kaitokes (the hilly road before the Rimutakas). It's about 600m from the end of the Upper Hutt motorway.

You can't miss it. :niceone:

Akatarawa Road is okay up to Staglands, I travel up there most weekends as that's where my in-laws new house is (next door to Staglands).

As for the Reikorangi to Staglands bit, can't tell you.

Only problem is the snow and ice at the moment really.

Just use common sense and you'll be sweet.

BTW look in your mailbox tomorrow for a nice surprise.

My Aunty had to drive over from Waikanae end about a week ago and said it wasn't too bad. Last time I rode over (about a month ago) there were a few slips & there are still parts of the road that haven't been resealed from the big storm back in Feb! But it's rideable.

I might pop up to Caltex to say "Gidday" :spudwave:

[Paul in NZ]

Do yourself a favour and DON'T use the Akatarawa road...

It's quicker over the Paekakariki hill road and Haywards not to mention more fun! You bike might be a lot nimbler than my Guzzi but mate, that road sucks on a bike. Even without the plonkers in house sized 4WD's than cannot actually get around the bends without crossing onto your side (there is only 1 side in some place) it's just nasty!

If I get my oil changed this week I might be keen if it's no longer artic tundra on top of the hill. It means an early leave from the coast though and I will have house guests and a hangover so we have to see....

[Deano]

Id be keen to catch up with you guys for a ride. Which day are you coming down and what time would you be arriving ? Where will you be staying ?

Could meet up with Blakamin and a few others at Kapiti on the way down and show you the famous Paekakariki Hill Road.

Just to help motivate you, I'll beetle up to your place to dig you out of bed, and meet up with you and Blakamin.

Blakamin and I need to have that Roadie vs Drummer smackdown, and I'll need someone to take me to hospital and store my bike in their garage after he's finished with me.

OK....

I promise to wear my undies when I answer the front door this time! :crazy:

Sunday is my birthday so I can do what ever i want! :ride:

I think it is also fathers day so that means I will have to be home after lunch so my adoring family can shower me with gifts that i bought for myself, eat all the food i bought and drink me dry... (who taught them that)

Are you sure you are alowed out to play? Or do you have to use that cool lawn mower Heather bought you? :angry2:

Paul N

ps. I'm 500m from SHW1 in Kapiti for the guys going south on saturday. pm me if you want to drop by or need anything..... (or want my phone # for emergency)

[James Deuce]

On the money as usual. Must escape. Will request bike ride as Father's Day present, followed by lunch at Farm.

Excellent idea.

Would be good to get over the hill for the day!

[MrMelon]

[Quasievil]

Hi, I might stay on till Monday so I can ride with yas all, I will stay with the Old man in Paraparaumu on SUnday night probably

Hope a few of you are coming out on Saturday night as well ?

[StoneChucker]

Just let me know when, and where exactly to meet, and where we're going closer to the time, and I'm there! Oh, if it's not raining of course!

Blakamin, maybe you can PM me when it's all finalised? Hopefully we get better weather this time, not like the planned Manfield ride.

Are we riding Saturday 4th heading north to meet up somewhere with Cajun etc as they head towards Wgtn?

Or are we riding Sunday 5th to accompany LooseBruce/Quasi some of the way on their return journey back north?

If it's Sat can't do.

Yes clarification please - ummmm, I did actually ask when I initially posted this thread if someone could 'take charge of details'.

I won't be going on the ride but thought I might blat out to the main meeting point to say "Hello" :spudwave:

Cheers Cathy

Cheers Cathy10am Sunday, Caltex Rimutaka. Follow SH2 through the Hutt Valley until the road turns Suburban at Upper Hutt. You go past a Dairy on the left at some lights, some houses, then a Tavern on the Left followed immediately by Caltex Rimutaka. We'll leave there at 10:30am for Martinborough, followed by a ride out past Gladstone and on to Masterton for lunch, and then home again.

Or something like that.

If you wanna go on Saturday, then do, but I'll still be going on Sunday.

Yep picked it up this morning, and went for a bit of a blat around at lunchtime :D

I've just got to try and learn to have a bit of self restraint when thinking about opening the throttle hard now though!

Good on ya Glenn. Great news!

I would hope you get a ticket rather than fall off though... that's a hard one to learn the not opening the throttle.

It took me about 18 minutes to get a ticket after getting my bike... :o

but I slowed down before I fell off.

Didn't stop me falling off 4 months later though, but it probably stopped me falling off in the first few days of ownership.

Enhoy the new bike...

How many of you?? I can probably manage an indifferent pasta for a small mob. Because if too many turn up it converts to boiling oil so's I can repel boarders (argh jim lad). Not that I'll need too because I will just play my Bluegrass collection if you stay too long... :bleh:

Our company for the evening, Pete and Sylivie are Guzzi nutters (well he's nuts anyway) and thus nearly understand motorcycles so they will probably find it all quite entertaining. :2thumbsup

I suggest the Wellington escort could meet at my place and show you the way into town and guide you through the '(dah tah dah) KILLER HIGHWAY'... :eek:

Who is riding up to act as an escort???

[Blakamin]

the hills no adventure, 'specially on my bike (putt pputtt).. just less boring than the killer highway, with its 80k limit!


You coming over CN6?

[Paul in NZ]

Don't worry....

Those soft northerners will be in dispair at the true size of my big pot :eek: they will be easy pickin's....

Locals can roll up any time. Don't get in Vickis way or expect me to entertain you and life will be good!!!! :killingme Christ, you can come early and polish my bike and take the dog for a walk if you like..... (ha ha)

No, seriously, up to you guys. Weather could be shite so if you press on through or turn up, all is sweet. I don't do stress in the weekends...

Cheers

[loosebruce]

So we're riding down saturday, maybe meeting a few guys on the way down and hitting piecock hill on the way of course, unless we take the scenic route from palmy over onto sh2 and over the rima's, might be an idea to give cajun & quasi an intro before tearing over there on the sunday.

So is it meeting at Caltex Rima's at 10am on the sunday for a ride, looking forward to it, hope the weather holds up for both days.

I'm staying down there until friday so i'll be coming along to the Curry night as well.

Quasi will give you a call at some stage to sort some times and discuss a route down, then you can pass it onto cajun, i don't have his number.

Yeah mate. my number is 0274 930 165 feel free totxt me to ring you, mines a company phone so I dont pay. Im keen and good to go, the weather will have to turn to serious SHite before I will can it. Got me a new rain suite today so Im soughted Oh and a new trye

[Blakamin]

If ya's decide to go ove the rimutukas, let me know before sat morning!
I'd hate to miss a saturday ride :eek:

Saturday is definitely no good. I'm working on Gini for the Sunday.

Sunday's not looking too bad at the moment.

It's one of those "communication" things. Things are looking a bit better in our household since she hit the second trimester and the morning sickness disappeared overnight. Discussing things like me pissing off for damn near half the weekend with some mates is a lot easier to discuss with her when she doesn't feel like shit all the time...

Did you get "Faster" yet?

[loosebruce]

Yeah mate. my number is 0274 930 165 feel free totxt me to ring you, mines a company phone so I dont pay. Im keen and good to go, the weather will have to turn to serious SHite before I will can it. Got me a new rain suite today so Im soughted Oh and a new trye

Huh a new rear tyre, what was wrong with your last one? Has it still got tread on it? Can i have it? :ride:

[loosebruce]

I'd hate to miss a saturday ride :eek:

Will do man, pm your cell number an i'll let ya know, depends on how the other two are feeling they're a bit older than me and the parapara's (sp) might be enough excitment for them in one day. Or we'd be heading for feilding from vinegar hill, sh52 or something i think. But if we did head over that way we'd proberly head for the paihiatua track to sh2 then over the rima's. Anyone in palmy or that general area that might be keen to meet up and ride down the last stretch with us on saturday afternoon, let me know.

Cool man, it's looking like the parapara's at this stage, quasi n myself are anti sh1, so i'll try and con the old men into hitting sh2 and going over the rima's. One of us will post a final route on thursday or friday.

Paul: do you have lots of nice flat room for parking bikes? Do I need to bring my little round plastic doofery for the sidestand or is there copious amounts of concrete?

Would I build a house that did not have a ton of flat concrete for bikes???

You could park 50 bikes down there. just watch the bump on the gutter. It's a doozey
