Disco Dan coming to Wellington!

[Disco Dan]

Im going to Taupo on sunday for the track day, and afterwards I plan to continue on to Wellington... yes thats right.. Disco Dan will be coming to Wellington!!! Lock up your daughters!

Seriously though, I would like to meet up with a few KB wellingtonians while im there.

I also dont have any where to stay in Wellington yet... I will bring my tent and find a suitable public roundabout to set up camp, but if anyone can offer me accomodation it would be much appreciated!

Im not sure what time I will be leaving Taupo, or how long it will take to get to wellington from Taupo but hey...

I would like to spend monday in Wellington having a wander around then ride back to Auckland in the evening.

Anyone wishing to join me is welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Also... an interesting point is my map only goes as far as hamilton. So may be an interesting trip for the directionally challanged moi !

[MadDuck]

Yipes that will scare a few of the Naki boys half to death !!!!

[Maha]

Wellington is SOUTH of Taupo aye Dan....oh and while we are at, Taupo is SOUTH of Auckland...just in case you end at our place on Sunday...only trying to help out here....:yes:

[Morcs]

Yeah and its a bloody long and boring ride from taupo to wellington (apart from the desert road) unless you go the long way, and the short way is long enough...

[Macktheknife]

Dan, have fun on your wee trip mate, might be a good idea to get a better map?

[Disco Dan]

I was told to get onto the Southern Motorway out of Auckland sit on Hwy 1 until Taupo.

From Taupo get back onto Hwy 1 and head south. Then after a few hours the wind will blow me off my bike and then im in wellington.

Is that right?

[Grahameeboy]

Well DD it is pretty simple on a track and suits your sense of direction......round and round in circles....

[Disco Dan]

Well DD it is pretty simple on a track and suits your sense of direction......round and round in circles....

Sccchh..don't tell him about the uniform.......

[Disco Dan]

So we get to see your man boobs and HDT in hot pants......now who said being a marshall was boring.

[Kittyhawk]

If you end up back in Auckland you know you've gone the wrong way.

Seriously tho, dont cross anything which says "Cook Strait" coz you'll be in soufland before you know it!

Even DD can spot a boat??

[Disco Dan]

Yeah that would be bad!

I am interested to meet up with as many KBers' as I can while im in Wellington, always good to put names to faces etc!

I will do a bit of a pub crawl around welly... if you see me dont be a stranger! say hi! I will be lost anyway!

I will have my RED top box on, so you will easily recognise its me!!!

EDIT: just added pic of top box... *rolls eyes*

[Kittyhawk]

Forgot to mention...be careful reading the map for central...I didnt realise what the little arrows ment,,, one way streets...theres lots!!

Dont go up them the wrong way coz you get looked at very strangely...and that was in a cage too...

Your pics dont show ya top box...

[Steam]

I'm on for some beer and pizza! We have a lounge you're welcome to, but no spare room sadly.

[Disco Dan]

Coolies Steam :)

...oh and if any girlies want a pillion ride..... *hint hint*

[Colapop]

So who would like to meet me in Wellington somewhere? Preferably not a dark ally with colapop.
I have a dark alley for you. It comes fully furnished - drunks, refuse and bodily wastes... Muggings are extra - enquire at the gutter before you enter.

::footnote::
There will be no females in Wellington - something about a mass exodus planned for Sunday... I told them not to worry... you had to find your way here first... and you finding anything intentionally wasn't likely to happen any time soon.

[merv]

So Col what are we going to do? Lunch at One Red Dog again or have you got another plan coz I see pizza and beer mentioned already?

I've checked my busy schedule and I'm available Monday if you'd like to meet us more mature riders Disco. If the females don't leave town I'm happy if they sit safely on my side of the table if anything else is a greater risk.

[Colapop]

The DOgg sounds good... but I'm not sure that I'll available...

[Colapop]

You're not safe! He'll get lost... he can sniff out females you know... it's not a good thing... *shudders*

[Lissa]

Ohhh now I'm scared!

[Colapop]

You and many many other women...

[Ronin]

Ohhh now I'm scared!

Yeah but he has to get past me and I'm at least as scary as Colapop :yes:

Worse if the lights are on......

Hey no I'm not! I'm over that hill, or over the hill.. one of them!

[Madness]

Watch the Rimutaka Hill in the dark on a wet road, slipprier than Disco Dan himself...

I'd come & meet you but I'm an antisocial prick.

You should bring the 11.

[Lissa]

Im a virgin on the takas, hope it doesnt hurt the first time :innocent:

Only if you fall off!

[Madness]

The SH1 route into Welly is boring, but so is the SH2 alternative from Hastings to Featherston. Less cops on SH2 though :yes:

[Disco Dan]

Would love to take the 11, would be more comfortable... will see if I can get the carbs sorted in time... still scares the crap out of me that thing! :innocent:

[Disco Dan]

hehe I appreciate your concern! I have been lent a very comprehensive and almost Disco proof map of nz.

I will be fine!

Getting lost on a bike only means finding new roads!!

[Wasp]

no, getting lost on a bike means running out of gas in the middle of nowhere no cell coverage and no idea where you are

Looks easy on the map aye ,mark out on your map the different places you get to and let us all know which way you end up going..............:yes: See how many times you zig zag and how many kms you travel:love: :Punk: :bleh: Ride safe:sunny:

[Disco Dan]

If I even dog ear this map.. both of my heads will be used in a cerimonial burning involving pointed sticks.

...wont be marking the map!

Will be keeping a log of miles travelled and fuel etc.

Also a diary which has a pink cover? That dont go too well with a red bike...what a fashion clash.

[deathstar]

sure you couldn't keep him there? might get lost on his way back

[Donor]

no, getting lost on a bike means running out of gas in the middle of nowhere no cell coverage and no idea where you are

...I thought it meant winding up down a dead end goat track outside a dilapidated cabin inhabited by deformed twin brothers name Jimbo and Bubba?

[Colapop]

sure you couldn't keep him there? might get lost on his way back
It's ok he's on a shoestring budget...

If Desperate Dan does manage to get here, you can be sure that he'll be evicted in relatively short time. Someone said something about having him for lunch - that'll only happen if he gets lost in Pomare....

[ManDownUnder]

Finding Wellywood's EASY... coming down the coast you'll see a turn off marked "Ferry". That's the Ferry Street turnoff. Take that, and head on into the big underground carpark.

It's the only place to park in town, even though the tolls are fucken slow (you'll need to wait about 3 hours before you can step out of the building). I'd blame Wilson parking if I were you.

[crashe]

Yee all have little faith in Disco_Dan arriving in Wellington without getting lost...

Lets all be positive for him in his hour of need.
I believe that Dan will make it to Wellington.

And it doesnt matter which roads he takes as long as he gets there.
A nice wee tiki-tour along the way.

Dan, if you need any extra maps please let me know and I can get a pile of them from the AA for FREE. Even accomodation books come FREE as well.

Ride safe and take it easy out there on the roads.

[Disco Dan]

So you gonna meet me at the pub down there or what? If you ask nice i'll give ya a kiss :)

[Colapop]

I gotta have the time to get there - I actually have a real job you know...

[Kittyhawk]

Hmm Disco, you'll make it...have fun on ya road trip.

[Disco Dan]

Well if anyone is riding back from Taupo to welly, gimme a yodel...

Im still deciding if I should bother with the tent or just use motels?

[skidMark]

oh god a map until hamilton.....dude ull end up in bay of islands, i don't think u will make it to taupo, if anybody sees a really lost englishmen who seems off course, help him out huh lol

[Madness]

If you do end up using the tent... Turn off at Porirua, keep left & follow the road up to Cannons Creek. There's a nice camping spot by the Lake, just behind the Cannons Creek shopping centre. You'll love it! :yes:

[skidMark]

well that all depends, on if you can get a girly in a bar to take you home and feed you and put you in her bed for the night.

if all else fails drench urself in water and go somewhere and get a girl with a kind heart to take care of you, if you don't get one your gunna be very cold....

[u4ea]

i cant beleive how many kbers have offered to lead Disc Dan astray!!!as if he needs any help!!!!

[ManDownUnder]

More a case of helping him find himself actually....

...finding himself on the ferry...
...finding himself in Pahiatua...
...finding himself the (very graceful) butt of getting lost jokes....

[Disco Dan]

i cant beleive how many kbers have offered to lead Disco Dan astray!!!as if he needs any help!!!!

....sad isnt it. :bye:

[Grahameeboy]

Just another subtle way of saying 'get lost'.......................:gob:

...bet you will all still give me shit.

[FROSTY]

Dan You need to go to Baby B and get that sighn on the back of ya jacket wiped off--You Know the one

[skidMark]

dan if you can make it to wellingtonand back without getting lost....then i will trust your directional skills more in future.....

[merv]

No more comment was made about lunch again but I tell you what I'll roll over to One Red Dog on the wharf at 12.30pm anyway and if anyone else fronts I might see you there. You'll recognise me from my profile pic, but I won't be in the tux this time.

[Disco Dan]

Hey folks, Taupo was great fun!

Unfortunatly the person I had arranged to meet in Wellington and stay with before riding back to Auckland with them pulled out at the last minute... was a big bugger in my plans. Did not fancy going all the way down and back etc on my lonesome so just came back to Auckland last night...

Thanks to those that PM'd with offer of accomodation etc, much appreciated. Will have to put some more time aside in a few weeks or so and go down.

...time to clean the flies off the bike and gear and unpack everything...

Fully laden top box and heavy tank bag, and the poor girl was a pain at slow speeds about town... Will have to travel 'lighter' in the future I think!

told you to come see me, ya twat

[merv]

Same here, we went to One Red Dog for lunch anyway, Me, Col and a chick from my office, so at least I had some company. Nice wines and pizza.

The chick was happy, she'd met Col before and got another hug from him (as she would - coz that's waht he does), but mind you I'm not sure that I really needed one too Col.

See you in Welly next time then Dan.
