Welly Crew bunch of arrogant w**kers !!

[Deano]

Apparently the goss is that myself and a few of the Welly Crew are arrogant, and would not want to ride with anyone who is slower than us.

It's news to me as I don't recall ever trying to turn anyone away from TRTNR or other rides we have been on. We do tend to ride as a group but anyone is welcome to tag along, and people have done in the past, regardless of their abilites.

So who started this rumour ?

I have an idea......and you're full of shit pal !!

Rant over.:innocent:

[Keystone19]

I wouldn't wanna ride with you guys anyway...yer all too fast.

[Trudes]

That's not nice!!!
I'm slow as arse, but don't think I'd feel shunned by you hoons!! I however wouldn't expect you all to escort me anywhere in convoy, but know that you guys and gals do wait for the slow pokes to catch up, so maybe whoever said that expected a hand holding session??:innocent:

[Colapop]

I want to ride with you guys... all I need is tyres and gas money. I would hope that I'd be allowed to ride with you fellas and that you might teach me about how to ride. I'll learn from anyone that'll show me.


once I have the above mentioned funds

[Baldyheed]

Ignore them and they will go away. Those who want to ride with you, myself included, will continue to do so, and my choice will not be affected by the bleating of others.

[MSTRS]

Welly crew are arrogant tossers???
Course they are...
Hell, some of them even had the audacity to open their homes to us.
As for that Colapop chap.....

[Deviant Esq]

They seem like a good bunch to me. Met one or two in person when they've been down here in Christchurch, and talked to many more through KB via PM or just general banter. I wouldn't expect they'd turn me away from a ride if I showed up... at least, not for not-being-able-to-keep-up reasons anyway! :whistle: :blip:

If you can keep up with her, you'll have a number on your bike alright. Number 2's....

[Toaster]

I have ridden with many a wellington rider and found them all great people - none from KB itself, but I am sure the "Welly Crew" are all good.

Mind you, I came from Wellington - maybe I am the arrogant bastard? :gob:

Speaking of arogant wankers etc, a chap last week told me about his brother in law who is the leader of a BMW riding group where if anyone not on a BMW joins them while riding, the BMW lot stop and wait for the non BMW to leave. That is if they have'nt already flown past due to them slowing to give the unwashed rider the hint.
I'm not sure if its the local BMW lot up here or somewhere else.

Fuckin hilarious!!!!
Cracked me up, the stupidity of it.

Oh I couldn't help myself, I 'd go out riding on my GSXR just to hunt them down and force them to stop and wait. I'd stop as well, and just stand there all silent like. And when they ride off again, so would I.

I understand that Goldwing riders' clubs have had discussions on similar matters at their Annual General Meetings. So much for the "brotherhood of bikers".

True... I am an ex-cop ya know! Aren't I supposed to like my KFC raw and warm.

[Babelfish]

Funny. I recently moved to the wellybum region from more northern climates and noticed something odd. Up north, I ride with anyone and anything, nothings safe, but the more south I got the more aggressive and arrogant I got. Now I dont ride my bike at all for fear of sharing the road with an undeserving person...in fact, I dont go out any longer in case I have to share the footpath. Its a stretch to even come in here and share the internet and thoughts with you lot as none of you deserve me. If thats what its like this far south, how bad would the south Islanders be???? I'm surprised...nay forlorn that they decide to breath in protest of sharing oxygen with the rest of us.

actually, the wellybum bums seem a really top notch bunch o cunts

[Dooly]

You are kidding surely? That takes the cake, that does.

Nope, all true, and the guy who told me that has been in the motorcycle industry for years and is local.
He referred to his brother in law as a 'tosser'.
Said it was kind of like 'rules' within that BMW group.
Whether its rules nationally, dunno, but surely not, thats way too fucked up.

[Dooly]

Oh I couldn't help myself, I 'd go out riding on my GSXR just to hunt them down and force them to stop and wait. I'd stop as well, and just stand there all silent like. And when they ride off again, so would I.

That would be so funny.
A hilarious uncomfortable silence indeed!

[phoenixgtr]

Absolute garbage!! I miss you lot

[u4ea]

Deano the person who hasnt got the gumption to accept their limitations is the one with the problem!!I am not the quikest rider by a long shot but I know that I will be waited for a directed at intersections etc..and I dont expect the whole group to ride to accomodate my needs!!!oh and you welly bunch of c#*&^%$ts are tops!!!

[roogazza]

I'd ride with ya Deano, but you guys are just getting out of the sack when I'm heading home !!!!!!!!!!!!!! gaz :zzzz:

[Storm]

Better yet, get hold of thier riding schedule and take turns being rostered on as the "KB presence " on every ride they do. Oh and be sure to have a mix of super flashy modern go fast mobiles and ratty old clunkers to see how they go. And if they go real slow, call up the scooter brigade :D

[Nasty]

Never heard that one Deano and I organise a number of the Welly rides ... I don't go on thursday cos I am normally asleep but I know I can if I want ... I think that someone is out there trying to wind you up :yes:

I think that someone is out there trying to wind you up :yes:

Thing is I don't really care too much what other people think, if the info is true. (It's what people who know you think that counts) It's the bullshit that annoys me.

[Fatjim]

Harden up man. You being all soft like this is affecting the rep of us hard as Welly riders.

[Blackbird]

I used to ride a BMW K100RS but all my mates had sportier machinery, so I was used to wringing its neck in an attempt to keep up with them. I must say that with a few exceptions, I found other large capacity Beemer riders to be a pretty insular and slow lot. Their websites were awful places with a complete absence of humour. Stop moaning about KB - you don't know what a crap website is until you've visited the BMW ones!

The Welly bikers I know are all great people:Punk:

[White trash]

Of course the Welly Hardcore are arrogant wankers. I helped build the reputation ferchristssake!

If ya can't keep up, don't turn up. Simple.

[Macktheknife]

Of course the Welly Hardcore are arrogant wankers. I helped build the reputation ferchristssake!
If ya can't keep up, don't turn up. Simple.

So that's why they kicked you out of Wellytown....! lol
I have only met a few of the Capital C&*^nts but the ones I met were alright, for wellybums.
Besides Deano, since when did you give a rats-arse what others think.

I'm quoting this post because it's fast becoming the most quoted post!
Well done Dooly. One thing puzzles me. Why would the beemer group need to slow, or stop to let a non-BMW go on ahead? BMWs are already so bloody slow, even push bikes give up and ride on ahead!

Deano, well I think it's a badge of honour to be described as an arrogant wanker of a rider :Punk: . I've worked hard for years to earn that reputation and Traffic Cops regularly use it when speaking to me, in what I always assumed was a term of endearment. Is it not a compliment?

Roogazza - I wouldn't be surprised if we find Deano is awake much earlier in spring and looking for excuses to sneak out of the house at sunrise. He is still in that honeymoon marriage stage :dodge: It'll wear off.

[VasalineWarrior]

Yay! So were all wankers! Im glad somebody has finally told me my place in life

[Skunk]

I'm as slow as a wet week and I've been made to feel unwelcome on a ride. Mind you that was in the days of WT 'leading' them.

[merv]

actually, the wellybum bums seem a really top notch bunch o cunts

Yeah we had lunch with ya didn't we and even let ya close to our top chicks - sounds like welcoming to me, not arrogant.

I'm a Hawkes Bay man by birth so maybe I don't count here and I can't say I've ever felt shunned by anyone. I'd say I'm a quick rider (not fast) but I don't ride to keep up with the fast guys and I don't mind coz at my age my eyes aren't up to it any more anyway - you know the old presbiopia - you just can't focus at all ranges quickly and while glasses help they can't fix the problem.

I haven't seen you that much Deano, but I've never had a problem talking to you when I have, and I regularly see MD and its always a pleasure talking to such an enthusiast - how could anyone think of you as arrogant?

So arrogant w**kers in Welly? Nah, never met any.

I reckon 30 at our last lunch was a tribute to the camaraderie that is developing. I don't help myself mixing with the crowd because I have other things on as well and am away a lot, so don't ride that often but I couldn't complain one bit about any of the people I have met.

Deano you did a lot for organising the sprints and hillclimb and anyone that works hard for the biking community needs thanks surely, not criticism.

[Kendog]

I've heard it from a couple of people now.

Surely they were not Honda riders.
Shit, I am not a Honda rider now, maybe I think the Welly crew are a bunch of arrogant w**kers.

But having met a ton of Welly riders and being a Welly rider myself I don't think we are arrogant w**kers. While I have not been on a Thursday ride or ridden with you guys in the weekend, I don't think that is because you don't want me (or others) to join you.

I think the issue may be to do with the perceived pace you guys and girls ride at. Maybe this person is a little concerned they would end up riding outside their comfort zone, and have subconsciously come to the conclusion they are not welcome to prevent this from happening.

[merv]

If ya can't keep up, don't turn up. Simple.

Cripes mate you should be in management because this sounds a bit like the old "either be a leader, or be a follower, or get out the f***king way" bit of leadership training that I love to hear.

[merv]

I think the issue may be to do with the perceived pace you guys and girls ride at. Maybe this person is a little concerned they would end up riding outside their comfort zone, and have subconsciously come to the conclusion they are not welcome to prevent this from happening.

OK so sounds like they are a bit slow and jealous then.

My leadership comment above applies again then.

[Skunk]

I don't go on the TRTNR as it is too fast for me, but I know I'd be welcome on them. And I'm not that welcome most places.

[Kendog]

OK so sounds like they are a bit slow and jealous then.

It's just a theory of mine, I may be off track.



Personally, I like to follow the leader.

As for those GSXR riding Welly cunts..........well they are the leaders of planet arrogant. Knee down this and wheelie that thinking they're all Mr wobbly head and all.

Arrogant indeed. All the folks I've met in Welly have been bloody top notch. Well, nearly all. Yeah some are faster than others, but hell we all stop and wait for slower riders. Gives us a chance to wank on about how fast we all are.

[Lissa]

Ive ridden behind you guys a lot. I don't think any of you are arrogant at all, and I have no problems being seen in public with any of you. :yes:

Seriously, I think you guys are all cool, very friendly, and helpful, esp since poos is out of wellington.

jking poos!!

Yep, I've heard this too, and it made me laugh a lot. I DO tend to be a cocky prick, but I'm keen for anyone to ride with us, I started riding with the welly "hard core" a wee whiloe after it got it's name, but have always thought the guys and girls, (well, mainly just one girl), are a great bunch, who welcome anyone to ride along with.

[riffer]

I agree Drew.

Hell, a number of Welly fast crew members even let Frosty and I turn up when I had an FZR750R and Frosty a VFR750, never complained about our speed (which undoubtedly slowed them down) and even bought us a beer afterwards.

Some people are just arseholes Deano. :yes:

Cocky??!!?? That's an understatement... I seem to recall having a laugh at the Fergusson/River road lights... after watching you wheelie past me at several points along river road. Pointing to the 1000 on the tail section of your bike made me laugh!!

Yeah cocky maybe, but not arrogant.. :laugh:

Dear sir...

Regarding these louts on fast motorbikes! Anyone who rides faster than me on a newer faster better more expensive bike is obviously an arrogant wanker..... Given this logic it is thus likely that nearly everyone one of those louts on that KB thingy are arrogant wankers.... They should be banned!

Unhappy in love of Kapiti

Strees less guys - Confidence and ability is often seen as arrogance by the less gifted and angry... Some people and never happy inside their own skins.

Thanks for the feedback and replies - to some of you - I haven't taken it to heart - as I said before, it's what people that know you think that matters.

But because it's a load of crap I felt obliged to set the record straight, lest others think the same thing without getting to know us first.

And I like to get stuff out in the open. I'm an up front sort of guy.

Anyone with a better/faster/more expensive/cleaner bike than me is an arogant wanker, regardless of their location.

[Eddieb]

Yeah that Deano is a w*nker,

I'm forever seeing him going past my place on his way for another ride, while I'm toiling away in the garden or at some DIY.
Then some hours later he's back past heading home, and I'm sure I can see the smug grin through his visor while I'm still toiling away.

Bastard.

Same with every other bugger on a bike in Maungaraki, the place is riddled with them, and they all have to go past my place on their way out and back again, you're all w*nkers. (pt)

[merv]

Eddieb sounds like you should move to the top end of a dead end street.

Just been to my usual weekly biker lunch - only 3 KBers and a few not KBers but not a w**ker in sight. The Welly crew are great. Kendog we were back where I saw you a few weeks ago but no sign of you today.

The not KBers don't seem too convinced but I keep telling them it is warm so come inside.

Camaraderie is only what you make it.

[Eddieb]

[Moxy]

I used to hate it how, in my learner nana slow days, the Welly crew would be so arrogant that they'd always wait for me to catch up to them at intersections and various stops. I used to arrive and they'd wave "hi" at me, and how we'd all leave at once... so arrogant.

How they'd come up, introduce themselves, and talk to me about my bike, being supportive, and giving me riding tips.

How they'd text me when there were impromptu rides.

How they'd invite me out to the pub afterward.

Oh, and how they'd WAVE at me when I was riding through town, and anywhere else they saw me.

And ESPECIALLY how they have bi-weekly (and sometimes more) open rides which anybody can attend.

All this... so arrogant.

...

Due to all this arrogant behavior, I became an arrogant bastard who exhibits all of the traits above (just so that I could "fit in"). I especially enjoy waiting for newbie riders to catch up at intersections. So arrogant.

[merv]

Passed a RSV on my way up and coming back down, I waved both times and he never waved back. Maybe he is one of them 'arrogant w**kers' we are talking about.

Yeah those guys on foreign bikes are like that.

[Grub]

Yeah those guys on foreign bikes are like that.

Yeah just as well Jappo's aren't foreign.

[merv]

You coming right now Grub or do none of the arrogant w**kers care how you are?

Yeah, but we were all there once - for me that was 4 years ago.

[325rocket]

i find this topic really interesting. im pretty new to bikes i only picked mine up about 2 months ago. since then ive only ridden by myself as i wanted to sort out a few basics before i go on group rides. i would have to say that about 99% of other bikes i see wave out or give me "the nod". seem like a pretty good bunch to me.

[KoroJ]

.... since then ive only ridden by myself.....

You won't learn how to be an 'arrogant wanker' by riding by yourself.....get with the programme.

Tonight at Grub & Nasties and same again tomorrow morning. (If Colapop's there it'll be a group hug followed by a ride).

[saltydog]

Well thats all good, I mean who really gives a toss?! All I wanna know is how fast they are reputed to fly up that Rimutuka Hill. Something like 13 minutes to the top from the gassy in U Hutt? Is it just a urban myth (13mins?) or do they corner so well cos they're used to 100kph cross winds! Or is it the tail-wind from the southerly???

[crazefox]

Far out you Welly must be bad.LOL:gob: :bye: :whocares: :whocares:

It aint the wind, it's just that we only really have one direction to head, if we wanna go for a hoon, so most of us are pretty familiar with the road, not sure about the time it takes tho, only ever tried to time it in a van, and got so bored with it, I forgot to check the clock at the top.

[James Deuce]

13 minutes would be a bit slow these days with the Kaitoke twisties all straightened out.

[skelstar]

About 30mins from Stokes Vegas to Featherston on a Sat morning, and I don't ride all that fast...but it depends whos waiting for me in Feathers :blip:

[Darkman]

i have only ever timed it from about 100m before the first corner to the bridge on the feathers side...was just over 12minutes...5 minutes to the top and 7 to the borttom...hey, and i'm slow:yes:

[86GSXR]

Well, as a Wellingtonian from way back, it's difficult for me to think of you lot as arrogant. But I've just got a new Daytona haven't I. Can I be arrogant now please?

And last time I rode down to the fair city everyone waved, Wellie is so biker friendly:rockon:

Excuse me now, I have to go and buy a new cleaning rag for my new bike, I wouldn't want to get it dirty now:yes:

[KoroJ]

Excuse me now, I have to go and buy a new cleaning rag for my new bike, I wouldn't want to get it dirty now:yes:

Ahhh! So the new Triumphs do still have oil leaks. Hard to be arrogant when your always stooped over, wiping up oil matey. I will concede to the arrogant colour though, and thought you made an arrogant TEC...

...welcome to the fold!

and note how we are arrogantly expanding our boundaries. I'm sure the whole Kiwi Biking community will soon be full of arrogant wankers as they all want to emulate the Welly Crew.

[86GSXR]

You flatterer you lol.

I will now go and humbly move some of that Triumph oil around :yes:

Looking forward to getting her south of the Taka's soon:yes:

[Drew]

ummm...I dont want to sound arrogant here, but I think Deano was refering to a smaller group than the entire Welly riding community. It would seem, that a small bunch who usually ride together, and party together, have been tarred with this brush. I'm not overly fussed as to the rumor myself, but I was surprised to hear it none the less.

Wellington as a whole, has a very cool biker pod, and most are very friendly and welcoming to all, as are the w*#nkers in question, but since they are only really seen riding together, I think people have mistaken that to mean they aint interested in anyone else riding, partying, or socialising with them.

[Deano]

Simon and I did about 15 minutes bridge to bridge, but it was wet.....and we were in the station wagon.

[Marknz]

Someone is having a larf aren't they?

I was the slowest rider in the southern hemisphere on that 03 Gixxer thou and WT, Deano and Jimbo all enjoyed the pleasure of a cappucino and cooked breakfast at the flying fish before I finally arrived and delayed their rides yet again... :scooter:

Nah, they're all good kahns down here :shutup:

Deano, if you are a half decent scratcher on a modern bike and break 9 mins bridge to bridge you can be considered reasonably good. But I have times from the seventies written down somewhere ? I'll dig them out and pass them on. (not on here though, I don't want to be responsible) Gaz.

no...9 minutes B2B and you are a legent!

[Deano]

Well we did it in 15 minutes last night - in the wet, in the clouds and in a 2.2 auto station wagon - I wasn't pushing it either so I think there is definitely room for improvement.

Repsol + dry road + minimal traffic (and on my new racetecs)...I think 9 minutes should be a cinch.......;)

Mate, I could do it in 9 minutes on a Goldwing, in reverse.

This thread should be called the Welly Crew introduces themselves. Have any of the Welly Crew not posted yet? Just reading your posts your friendlyness is obvious.

Only way that'd happen would be if we just that second past ya doll.

[merv]

OK just so you can get this in perspective and let the w**kers do the numbers I've checked a few GPS tracks I had on my PC. Now remember I'm an old guy and some of the rides I do Mrs merv is on the back of the VFR and when you say bridge to bridge you're meaning the bridge before Kaitoke Country Gardens to the twin bridges on the 'rapa side right? I don't seem to have kept a straight through track but here's what I do have:

From Kaitoke Bridge to top distance is 6.61 km.

On this cruisy ride http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=47615 I did that in 6 mins 14 secs with Mrs on the back of the VFR and I don't think the traffic was light that day.

Average speed 64 kph.

From the top of the hill to the twin bridges is 7.19 km.

Same ride, that took us 9 mins 3 secs in heavy traffic and there a no passing lanes on that downhill.

Average speed 48 kph.

Total distance 13.8 km, time including slow down and speed up at top but not counting time stopped 15 mins 17 secs - about the same time Deano did it in the car, so yes a cruisy ride - average speed 54 kph.

To do it in 9 minutes you'd have to average 92 kph.

As a further comparison on this ride http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=48435 I took the XR250L and we only went to the top and back again, not down the 'rapa side. That day I did the 6.61 km to the top in 5 mins 19 secs for an average speed of 75 kph and that was in heavy traffic too. Solo on the VFR I probably would be quicker and light traffic would knock a lot off the time.

My conclusion would be that at my age I doubt I'd be a 9 min guy with a straight free run these days, probably more a 10 or 11.

Hope you enjoy the stats and you can figure out your own comparisons.

OK went away and checked the numbers - reverse direction on the same cruisy ride http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=47615 on the way home, Mrs still on the back (phew never lost her!!) 'rapa to top 7.19 km in 7 mins 1 sec at 61 kph, so over 2 mins faster, and top to Kaitoke 6.61 km in 6 mins 11 secs at 65 kph so only marginally faster on that leg - the uphills are definitely easier for passing the traffic.

Hey I wasn't breaking any records and well its against the law to go over 100 anywhere, but interesting all the same don't ya reckon.

[riffer]

Only way that'd happen would be if we just that second past ya doll.

[Drew]

To finish first, first you gotta finish - remember that one eh!

Actually, the only time I didn't finish, I was going slow, which can only make me the favourite to go fastest.

But to be honest, I'm kinda over racing on public roads, so it'll have to wait till the cliffhanger, and I'll be riding my twenty year old fizzer, so it'll sting even more for anyone behind me:yes:


to what?? a personality contest?? bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

That makes no sense, but were there a personality contest, you should probably abstain altogether.

[skelstar]

That makes no sense...
I does unfortunately, and is kinda funny :yes: ...which is ironic.

[jimbo600]

Bloody oath. Its all pretty gentlemanly these days. More fun less stress.

Doing that shit cost me a K3 750 (but don't tell Kath)

No she thinks the K6 600 in the garage is a K3 750. She also thinks that it changes colour from blue/white to red/black and back to blue/white again.

Actually she doesn't know about the dueling with Otis and getting owned.

[Kinje]

Yep, these guys sound like really arrogant w**kers.

I remember on quite a few times when we arrived at the same pub as welly riders, sitting down and talking to them. Once, a few were even putting on a wee display outside the pub.

Sheesh, whoever spread that rumour needs to get over themselves. And some of the comments in here are friggen hilarious :rofl:

[Sanx]

Yep, all you bastards do sound highly arrogant. All that riding in groups, waiting for people, going down the pub afterwards, providing accomodation for fellow bikers. You insular, unfriendly arrogant sods. Might get my fat lazy arse down there one day and see how arrogant you all are for myself, one day...

And Deano - perhaps it's not the arrogance they're objecting to, perhaps it's just they don't want to be seen out riding with someone who's on such a gay Honda in gay Repsol colours. I mean ... please...

[Deviant Esq]

I've spent a grand total of 12 hours of my life in Wellington. 7 of those hours were spent sleeping. The remaining 5 hours were some of the most enjoyable I've had whilst not on a bike... and more enjoyable than some of those too! All I need is an excuse to head back up there, and I will. It was a little annoying to meet some cool people and then have to leave again so soon... without even being able to steal anyone's bike for a quick ride! :dodge:

I was! I was working that day. Most stupid thing ever

[inlinefour]

Apparently the goss is that myself and a few of the Welly Crew are arrogant, and would not want to ride with anyone who is slower than us.

It's news to me as I don't recall ever trying to turn anyone away from TRTNR or other rides we have been on. We do tend to ride as a group but anyone is welcome to tag along, and people have done in the past, regardless of their abilites.

So who started this rumour ?

I have an idea......and you're full of shit pal !!

Rant over.:innocent:

Bro, anyone that is preforming like that is definitely a wanker. You know it, I know it, most know it. That simple really.:yes:

[Korea]

Met up with a few arrogant w**kers again today despite the chilllli conditions and violent cross winds. Nice and clear tho'

Had a blast over to Wainui and down to the coast - first time for me on this road, so good fun. Very little traffic and some great corner action. Bit bumpy mind.

Clear but cold conditions saw me getting a little loose; locked up the back braking too hard and too late into one particular corner. No major dramas tho'.

Only other drama was freezing our proverbials in the wind at the coast when Flame's RSV refused to fire up. Must be those dodgy Italian electrics, eh?
Jimbo600 was on the case though, bringing along some jumper leads all the way back from a servo in Wainui. Meanwhile a friendly cager lent us a set and we got the bike humming - just as Jimbo arrived! Typical...

Sedate ride back and home in time for cocoa in front of the fire.

Highly recommend a ride out with the Wellington Crew Arrogant W**kers. (WCAW)
