Truth to tell Mark, Sunday suits me better as well.
You could always call in for some of Mrs Bass' famous coffee on the way past if it takes your fancy and we could sneak out via one of the lesser travelled back routes.

[Bass]

You will have him all confused now

[Idrumm]

I wasn't confused... I gathered that the original date was for Saturday, and then it got changed to Sunday... what threw me is that you talked about "Sunday might be better" not too long ago...

Ah yes..... I remember. Fortunate fellow, wasn't he.
However, there are other options including one or two where the corners are closer together and so less inviting of Mr Plod's attentions.

[Kornholio]

Ill see if i can make it Maha dude.... be in the car tho :/

[Bass]

I was confused... ... what threw me is that you talked about "Sunday might be better" not too long ago...

I rest my case

(too tempting to pass up)

[TKDSKIP]

I would be keen to head over with the Tauranga guys if they dont mind pausing for the lil 250 to catch up. Can you let me know when you would be meeting.

[ZeroIndex]

(too tempting to pass up)

I gather you know to bring some oil with you too?

[Bass]

I gather you know to bring some oil with you too?

A spot of verbal jousting - excellent!
Righto -to arms!


I have about 2 liters of Castrol R in the shed (it's true I tell you).
Sounds like you might be able to use it to clean your system out. It's no longer of any use to me.
Should I bring it?

So you use a cheaper quality oil since your bike goes through so much? :dodge:

[Bass]

So you use a cheaper quality oil since your bike goes through so much? :dodge:

Not at all.
Castrol R is first pressing castor oil.
It's far from cheap but it clears the shit out very well.
Hence my offer......:shake:

[Richard Mc F]

Yeah I know, that's why I said bring some oil, not an entire pit crew... The Triumph will just need a bit of oil, not an entire engine rebuild :killingme


nah mate... it's Yamama FZR400 :dodge:

Yeah right, I don't need no pit crew, can rebuild all by myself :Punk:

No I wont melt but I wont enjoy it as much as I want to.
I look at it this way. If they arn't already comming is it worth it?

lol nah, I think other than the younger ones (midnightmike, Qurtermile and so on) everyone already knows about it. And they are more than likely working but if I see them tonight at the pub I'll let them know.

Heh, I tailed for a KBer who had come out to ride without his spectacles, and is reasonably poked in the seeing department when it's dark.

Twilight in the pitch dark is blacker than ... a black thing really!

So yeah, I have patience - and enjoy using it as an excuse for me own nana-ish ways :D

Thanks Zeroxindy....i think i can find my to the Tron!....but i will be turning off way before then....:nya:

[Waylander]

Where, when and who is going to this from Tauranga, MtM?
I don't think that has been sorted yet but it will probably be something like Summit BP at 10am or so. Depends on if people want to do a decent length ride before hand or not.

I know I will but doubt I'll be able to afford more than over the hill and back.

[Cajun]

My plan is to meet the AKL crew someone along the way,

Not to sure on plans leaving

rough plan is to AKl crew to be at the oko @ 12.30ish, so tauranga crew only heading over to oko don't realy need to leave tga until around 12ish really.

Some who want to go meet up i post something up in a cople of days

[Waylander]

Could always go pick up those lazy buggers from Rotorua.

[RC1]

Cool cheers bro,You think you will be ok on the fxr:shit: But that is a good plan :yes:

[ZeroIndex]

Won't be making it... highsided my bike this morning around 3am... totalled my helmet, have a few stiches in my chin :doctor: . Other than that I'm ok, but my bike has seen better days... headlight smashed, front brake-lever is non-existant, and the oil thingy on the side of my bike (the reason for crash-bungs), is half gone, so if anyone has a new right hand side oil thingy for an FZR400, let me know, and Maha and all the other Triumph riders, instead of going for a ride, you can send me your tax-deductable oil :p

[tri boy]

Sorry to hear about your "off" ZeroIndex.:mellow:
Sounds like the helmet did its job.:yes:
Hope the bike is up and running soon.

The strange thing is I can hardly remember my ride back from Carver's brother's new flat... I pulled out of his driveway, waited at the traffic light 5 metres from his driveway, then I wake up, facedown on the road, gloves covering my chest, helmet touching the ground, and some policeman talking about chasing me, then I woke up in hospital... f**king munted night...

I went to Hamilton this morning in the car and there were a lot of cops between Hamilton and Tirau, with the usual big presence around Karapiro. If you're sticking to the back roads, you should be fine. There will be a decent frost tonight down this way!

Safe travelling.

Geoff

[Mom]

We are just going for a little "pootle" (to steal a word from gijoe1313) the cops will not be interested in us, besides which, we are a family group heading out for a reunion, not a bunch of hoons attracting attention to ourselves, we just putter along. Mind you there are some that ride a bit faster than us :innocent:

Had an awesome wee ride before meeting up with y'all too.
Anyone else have a dribble over that 215RWHP MV??

Thanks all, what a wicked day. Should do it more often but this time have slightly better navagation skills up front. Although they did iron out all the creases for the way back. Beats the cr@p out of mowing the lawns.

[Donor]

Many thanks to Maha and Mom - the HTFU pill worked a treat and poor Rosey is sulking in the garage after I kinda sorta unleashed throttle hell on her (well, so far as you can on a ZZR two fiddy...!)

Besides taking a far more scenic route on the way to Morrinsville than the main Norf pack, I was soon caught up amongst the throng (until I was pwned... and pwned... and pwned...) where I managed to take up my self appointed Safety Sweep position.

Nice pub, bloody nice food and surrounded by top KB peoples left right and centre!

Awesome day! :Punk:

[tide]

Ok first the porn... excuse me while I dribble :drool:

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Many thanks to Maha and Mom - the HTFU pill worked a treat and poor Rosey is sulking in the garage after I kinda sorta unleashed throttle hell on her (well, so far as you can on a ZZR two fiddy...!)

Awesome day!

Mate you should be very proud of yourself! Mind you that is the first time we have missplaced a TEC in......forever! That pill you bought is a goody, more two fiddy riders should consider a bigger Maha trip too, perhaps you could buy in bulk and on sell (all profits to me of course :dodge: ) BTW I just remembered it is your birthday!! Happy Birthday mate, be glad I did not realise at the Oki cos I sing really badly!! :yes:


thank god for sterring dampiners.

Kitty mate!!! sorry you missed a beaut day, we saw you stopped on the motorway, were in the fast lane and only noticed you at the last mo.......saw you on your cell phone so figured you had help on the way, confirmed when we arrived at Autobahn. PM me your mobile number eh sweets, would have loved to have checked with you personally to make sure you were ok!

BTW that new chain oiler you were trialling on your loaner bike seems to be over spec. I hear it oils the rear tyre as well, and you still manage to stop unharmed!! Let me know you are ok, OK!

[McJim]

Glad to hear you fellas had a good run today. Was good to see you all this morning. I haven't been on KB as often as I used to be so didn't even know there was another run planned from the Autobhan.

As for the nana run we did down SH22 I was the slowest of them all.

Nana banana.......LOL........next time I will give you a quiet heads up for any rides we are doing.

It was so nice though to meet up a heap of other KBers at teh Autobahn this morning, some I have not seen in ages, what an awesome day!

[Kittyhawk]

NELLO!

DUE to technicial failure of Phoenix's bike I was unable to ride!

Um...er....I was going down the motorway minding my own business....then saw something flick out the corner of my left eye. Lost traction on the rear tyre, so I thought I must have snapped the chain.

The rear tyre starts to do its own thing, eeep! Came to an emergency stop and the bike spilled its guts everywhere, broken engine parts, and oil pissed out...

Came close to binning it, wont mention what speed I was doing when it happend but put it down to a little experience for controlling it. Was scary!

After making a couple of phone calls, and watching other bikers ride past (while I was wanting to just get on and ride not making a scene ) I moved the bike forwards and started it again.

Yup she fires, but no wait more oil comes gushing out the bottom.

Wait wait wait for Phoenix to turn up..........

Ok so I now have help. We strip off the fairings to put the bike in the back of his station wagon. Now have a slight problem...we couldnt lift it (bloody deadweight)

So after we stood there with a bike leaning up against the car two others came and gave us a hand.

That's my day stuffed :c But it happens. See yas at the next one:Punk:

NELLO!

DUE to technicial failure of Phoenix's bike I was unable to ride!

Um...er....I was going down the motorway minding my own business....then saw something flick out the corner of my left eye. Lost traction on the rear tyre, so I thought I must have snapped the chain.

The rear tyre starts to do its own thing, eeep! Came to an emergency stop and the bike spilled its guts everywhere, broken engine parts, and oil pissed out...

Came close to binning it, wont mention what speed I was doing when it happend but put it down to a little experience for controlling it. Was scary!

After making a couple of phone calls, and watching other bikers ride past (while I was wanting to just get on and ride not making a scene ) I moved the bike forwards and started it again.

Yup she fires, but no wait more oil comes gushing out the bottom.



Having seen that rear tyre, I'm wondering how the hell you kept it upright at all. Damn good job, girl. And good luck stripping it down - the damage looked ... erm ... serious.

Came home through the Hunuas.
Bit of a mistake ..... sunstrike + shady corners = no idea where the road is.
Rode accordingly, so no pucker points. It sorta kills the point of going that way though.
Entertaining day - good company - quickish trip home - all good.
Ta maha and ma.

Dont know about that. Boomer and I were behind you the whole way back.
Well ridden mate.

Nice to put a face to the name finally. By the sounds of things everyone had a great ride. As usual some great pics by John. Was also nice to see catch up with and see Busa Pete's new toy in the flesh.

Hehe thanks, Just keep riding is how I see it:shutup: There were no "oh shit" moments at all, an answered question as to what happend with the chain, which little did I know at the time it was an oil/engine problem.

I took off the air filter, and pottered around. Took the broken parts to my mechanic, and he said its the con rod and piston which was broken. When I explained that theres a crack at the front of the engine, with a nicely styled bullet hole he suggested I need a new engine.

So Mission now is to really strip it down, and get a new engine and drop it in.
