Should be there about 11:30 for a few beers, then lunch about 12:30.

The loaded Hog in auckland is full of 16/17 year old girls in boob tubes out to get laid, and the old men out to get laid.

Whats the christchurch one like? (im curious)

[SpankMe]

I've been having lunch there a few times and it's always quiet.

[Sniper]

Im working, but I can try

[SpankMe]

Just come down and say hello :wavey:

[Joni]

Yup Im sure we will be there.

[onearmedbandit]

I'm in, see you there.

[Deviant Esq]

Count me in too. Hope the rat shit weather improves by then.

[Sniper]

Just come down and say hello :wavey:

Its literally only around the corner from work, so if I have another person here I'll pop along

[Skyryder]

Might turn up. Always did like their beer.:gob: We'll see???


Skyryder

[miSTa]

Yep, count myself and Mrs S in.

[The Lone Rider]

50/50 chance for me to go as of yet (will update when the chances change).

Where is it? And you down from Auckland Spanky?

[Colapop]

No he's not going down there for it.. He just thought you guys would like to go out to lunch together... KB team building...

[Ghost_Bullet]

Good excuse for an outing, but damn it... I have given my wife the weekend pass this one, and she has taken it... so she should to... she deserves it, being something of a rally widow the last few months... :Punk:

[T.W.R]

Clashes with this unfortunately :yes:

I opt to go to this one now. Fund raising, kids can be cool, and maybe there will be some older sisters of theirs there :D

I'm in Christchurch at the moment and would like to meet some of the mainland KB members.

[SDU]

Are you going to ride up for lunch just to run it it? Look forward to seeing your new toy T.

Have a good drinkies & feed folks.
Depends on what time I finish work & when we are leaving to go down sth on if we'll have time to pop in.

[SpankMe]

Ok, but you have to spill the beans on Saturday.

Sure thing. Could bring a video camera as well, if that's of any use?

And what OAB said. ;)

[PLUG]

hmmm ... :drinkup: for lunch ... i'm in

[The Lone Rider]

Where is the loaded hog in CHCH? My ex misses has already written an itenerary for us for saturday, but only one of the things isn't flexiable. I'd come to LH for awhile, and shoot off to the Fund Run at around 12:30pm or so. I think I'll have an early lunch while you lot drink (I dont drink anyway)

[TonyB]

Corner of Manchester Street and Cashel.

It'd be good to meet you Spank, I'll see if I can get there. So are we establishing an alibi or something?

[SpankMe]

Sorry guys but somethings come up and I might not be able to make this :(

I will try my best to get there, but will ring Joni if I can't make it.

[Silage]

Sorry guys but somethings come up and I might not be able to make this :(
I will try my best to get there, but will ring Joni if I can't make it.

Well it would be a shame if you can't be there Spank, but I am intending rolling into the LH around 12, quick bite (do they have bacon?) and then off for the Chamoldley (??) run. Hope you make can make it tho SM as that is the main reason for turning up but then hopefully the others will still get there.

[Joni]

Would be a pity Spank... but there will always be a next time :msn-wink:

[SpankMe]

Looks like I might make it after all. See you there :)

[Kickaha]

Looks like I might make it after all. See you there :)

are you sure this time? the way you keep changing your mind you'd think you were female :bleh:

[onearmedbandit]

OK, so this is on now?

[Deviant Esq]

Yep. Good to meet you, Spank (+ partner), as well as the others I met there - Mr Sensible (+ Mrs Sensible), Joni, Kickaha, Huntaway, Tim (forget your KB name), Silage, Cowboy6155, OAB (eventually)... I'm sure there are a couple of others names I've forgotten. Anyway nice weather for a change, good to put some faces to some names over a couple of beers. Cheers ;)

:beer:

[onearmedbandit]

Yup, was a good afternoon talking shit and a couple beers. And then I stall the bike in front of everyone...

[Joni]

Was good to see everyone again. Spank and Noy as always a pleasure :yes:
Great to catch up with OAB again :hug:
Good to meet Deviant and everyone else too.

But the last hour was a blur.... damn alcamahol! :thud:

[Ghost_Bullet]

Woulda been nice to have made this one, but ended up on this :sunny:'y afternoon doing a playpark tour, and finsihing with an icecream and thowing stones into the Ashley river, with the kids of course.

Next time... :mellow:

[Huntaway]

Hey SpankMe :)
A priviledge to have met His Devine Shadow at last :not:
And just in time it might seem! This is such a great website and we all owe you for "providing the space". Good that you will still be around and best wishes for that bit of your life you are claiming back!

[Deviant Esq]

Yup, was a good afternoon talking shit and a couple beers. And then I stall the bike in front of everyone...
Ya poor bastard! Noone laughed though, no idea why... probably the first time that's ever happened! Have to go for a ride sometime, ya bloody piker ;)


Good to meet Deviant and everyone else too.
But the last hour was a blur.... damn alcamahol! :thud:
Was a pleasure to finally meet you too! Oh, and Coke Boy, I mean Kickaha... ;) Sorry about knocking over the last of what was in that glass. What a muppet! :doh: Good effort with the booze Joni, was glad I wasn't the only one drinking up and being happy about it! Probably talked too much though, as usual... It's the beer I tell ya :mellow:
Will hopefully spot you two out at Ruapuna tomorrow! :niceone:


...and thowing stones into the Ashley river
Why is it that I always find myself doing the same thing? Must be a male thing to find yourself spotting good skimming stones on a riverbank, involuntarily picking them up and having a go skimming them... and then wasting half an hour trying to get to 10 skips... :mellow:

Hopefully meet you next time mate. Sounds like you had a good day anyway though :)

[Ghost_Bullet]

BRING BACK THE MUPPETS!!!! damn I love the good ole days of TV.

Yeah a good day...with many weekends away this year, it is great to do family time stuff. shame sacrafice's must be made.
Carch ya one day. Monkey maybe?
There will be a clip on my webshots page of my meanderigs today, in an almost motorcycle, a Honda N360. A car that realy is a motorbike that thinks it's a car, or is that a bike :scratch: Now I'm confused.....:mellow:

Monkey? Not likely! I ride a matchbox toy, touring is not what it does! Still, if you're keen for a wander over Gebbies Pass or out to Akaroa or something sometime, drop me a PM... or we can trade cellphone numbers and you can send me a text. I'm always keen for a ride, as I don't have anyone I ride with regularly at this stage.

Ah the N360. One of the more famous old Hondas. People confuse it with the later N600 though, which looks like a small Civic. You have one? Nice. Not too many of those kicking around in New Zealand, which doesn't really like Honda very much. I've not seen a running condition N360 in the flesh. I'm familiar with old Hondas though... ex member of NZHondas.com, and got a classic Honda of my own, though not quite as old as the N360 - a 1990 EF9 Civic SiR. Beaut wee car.

Spotted one of these in Paris at Easter. Beautifully restored. Know what it is? Know any other 24 year olds into this stuff?! ;)


<img src="http://www.honda.co.jp/SEEVERT/gallery/18_s/image/s600coupe.jpg">

[Ghost_Bullet]

I have seen plenty a small bike at the Monk' yeah for real... catching a ride would be great sometime. Just gotta get me bike back from the shop, even the bigger bikes are really better... lol

Oh yes I have a Honda N360 on the road, and two others that are not, And also have 2 N600's, one which is road worthy, but off road as I gotta do some work to it.
This is not off topic right??? :lol:
That car above is the S600 uh. Hard top version, the soft is much more sexy.
I never liked Honda's Though had two Honda bikes to begin my biking era.
Hardest part is keeping em on the road, as Honda dont make the bits anymore :cry:

Forgive the off topic clip...
This is what I was doing this arvo, as it would not have been appropriate to take the kids to a bar, espec' with a little boy who loves to run about like a blue arse fly.
Wonder if a KB sticker could be approriate on the rear window? mmm

[Deviant Esq]

Yep, S600 Coupe. I prefer the soft top as well - but I think it was a hard top I spotted in Paris. Actually I forget now, it could have actually been the soft top. I agree it's sexier. People must think we're really messed up, thinking of an S600 as sexy. But I'd love one. And an S800... and an N600... Anyway, it was right outside Notre Dame Cathedral... occupants looks faintly amused as some people took photos of the car as well as the cathedral! I'd crossed the road and didn't get a photo of it. Knew what it was though. Weird seeing a left hook version!

Nice video clip, looks as though you had a great day too (see, on topic, talking about today... sorta... :whistle:)! Pretty good video editing as well, I should learn how to do that one day. Sounds as though we'd need excuses not to catch up! Keen on old Hondas (though not bikes in your case?), motorbikes and riding, Ashley river, beer... hehe

:rockon:

[Sniper]

Apologese I couldn't make it. Stuck at work.

Let us know next time you are around

[SpankMe]

Bloody good to meet everyone. Nothing like sitting at the pub most the day and talking to bikers. Will be doing that again the weekend after Queens Birthday when I'm down here again. Thanks to those that photographed the evidence ;) Can you email (spankme@kiwibiker.co.nz) them to me.

[miSTa]

Yeah it was a good lunch...pain in the arse that I had leave to go shoe shopping, the things we do.

Look forward to the next one.

What is it with woman and shoes... mine just bought a pair of boots a couple of weeks ago.... "I need shoes around home" "I need shoes to run after kids" "I need shoes to go out" "I have nothing to go with this outfit" the excuses go on and on and on .... :shit: it is like a disease that cannot be halted... try and stop it, and the thumb starts to make and indent on your forehead!!!!!

Sounds like a plan. Any excuse for another beer and more bike talk... :innocent:

Have emailed the two pics I took to you. Setting was hardly idyllic and the makeup crew was on strike... :dodge: But hopefully they'll serve their purpose.

Apparently it's one way they can create an identity of being female.

Whereas males play contact sports and watch naked women touch each other.

Right, so that's the weekend of Saturday 9 June - this still on? If so, sounds good to me, I'll make a note on the calendar. Funnily enough I've got jury duty on the following Monday.

[SpankMe]

Yep, will be back in Christchurch on Monday 4^th. So Saturday or Sunday at the Loaded Hog?

[onearmedbandit]

Either day should suit me.

[Deviant Esq]

Either day should suit me.
Same for me, either day is fine.

Got the bike with you this time Spank? Or maybe we can arrange for you to borrow someone else's steed if you're not going to have one of yours down - probably not I'm guessing. Anyway, maybe then we can go for a ride as well. Been beaut weather the last few days, which I've used to good effect to get some kms done. :yes:

[miSTa]

Saturday would be better for me...

[Ghost_Bullet]

I might be able to make the next one, Mrs in tow maybe, and maybe not.. and I am workin that weekend, but maybe able to swindle a couple of minutes.

[SpankMe]

I guess Saturday June 9^th it is then at midday.

Thanks Deviant Esq & Phaedrus for the photos. This one is from Phaedrus.


<img src="/images/dsc00005-small.jpg">

Same again next time guys? The more photos the better :)

[Deviant Esq]

Done. Might bring the other camera this time, see if it takes a better photo. Was the image size okay? Can send higher res images, if it's of any use...

Funny, that pic looks exactly the same as one of the pics I took, only with better lighting. Bloody biassed lighting crew! Still, you're blurry in that one... must need more beer. Pretty lady making up for you though... :dodge:

[SpankMe]

I need something that pretty next to me to take the focus (no pun intended) off my ugly mug. Next time don't wait for me to say go, just snap away during the meetup and get some with everyone in it.

[Joni]

So like the paparazzi?

Spank the celebrity comes to Chch....

:bleh:

[SpankMe]

You know you are all just dying to meet His Divine Shadow. And every celebrity needs a trophy wife. No autographs please. :p

[Deviant Esq]

No problem โป่งเหน่ง. Might get some outside just for variety too, bikes in the background maybe... the more the merrier right? ;)

Well, now that I've met him, can't say I'm dying to meet him any more, can I? :bleh: But yes, the trophy wife is a must, gotta have something to look at once we tire of looking at yer mug... :dodge:

June 9th should be ok for me. I'll try to bring a trophy female, although she will probably be too young for any of you haha :p

[Oakie]

Well we need to be at the airport by 3 pm to fly to Samoa for our holiday but we might be able to pop in for a drink at 11.30 depending on how the packing is going. (Mrs Oakie is packed .. it's my packing that needs to be done)

[Oakie]

You know the loaded hog got a kick in the ass late last year for traces of fecal matter being found in its food.

Mmmmmm. It's the Hog's 'secret seasoning'. (Just make sure the 'mayo' on the salad isn't warm and sticky :sick: )

[miSTa]

Yum, yum, getting hungry :drool:

[Winger]

sounds good work permitting will see you for a beer or 2

[Deviant Esq]

I won't be able to make this one unfortunately. Got to drive inlinefour back up to Taranaki, he's leaving Burwood for good, which he's happy about. Get some independence and all that. Anyway we gotta leave Saturday morning, so that rules me out of coming to the Hog. Bummer, next time hopefully. :yes:

[Rashika]

might be able to pop in this time :rockon:

[Sniper]

might be able to pop in this time :rockon:

Ditto.....

[Ghost_Bullet]

That was cool, bloody good place that, I had never been there before.
After wards I headed through the tunnel and up and I was gonna go over, but had second thoughts, and went along the top. The ride was very **wawawewa** and nearly had "sexy time" with a car as I rounded a corner sideways and the sun got me in the eye:shit:

The shoulder of lamb tasted good, along with the cloudy beer... good stuff. Forgot I had my camera until the end for a group shot.
Nice... I will be there next time if I am able and somethin is planned.

See pics below(not of sexy time however)
1. Looking out into habour
2. Looking back down hill
3. Christchurch into the sun, over John Britten Reseve
4. Me filler cap and "self explantary"

[The Lone Rider]

Sorry couldnt go like I said I would. Had to shop for a washing machine, and then grab and move the rest of my weight lifting gear and a longe suite. Then had visitors dropping by the whole time I was unloading the trailer, and even a cop car pulled up outside by my bike (I got pulled over and ticketed last night) and sat there watching for awhile and left.

[miSTa]

Nice looking photos there GB.

Was a nice lunch though the turn out was a little disappointing. Still it was good to catch up with those that did.

Would have liked to see some pics from the lunch gathering!

Ouch, glad I didn't make the effort and come up for it, sore back, cold weather and all!

Did young John (IL4) get away on his way home ok today?

Spose he left too early to able to say goodbye at the Hog!

Good bye, (from the South) John, see you in the Naki some time! :bye:

I haven't done much riding of late and I feel a bit frustrated, just going out into the shed and talking to the Tiger doesn't do it for me I'm afraid. :angry2: John.

Indeed he did. The two of us are at Nasty's place in Whitby as I type this. We didn't have time to drop into the Hog... had to shoot up to make the ferry. Pity, was wanting to go to the Hog but them's the breaks. Good trip up to Welly though overall. IL4 surprised himself and did most of the driving, I only took over when he got to the point where he felt too uncomfortable, and we needed to push on to make the ferry... which we did, not much time to spare though!
