looks good Yod .. but might detour over the saddle to Woodville if sarge or other D vegas riders want to join in .. not sure if we can get on back road to alfredston or if we have to get to pahiatua .. but we can suss that out a bit closer to the time once we know who is coming .. ;)

[Meanie]

Well done with the map Yod, i think maybe the Ashhurst boyz might stop getting lost now
Maybe we need to deflate cowboyz tyres a little to slow him down and keep him from leading :dodge:

[yod]

I'm heading up to Napier this saturday, coming back on sunday.

Anyone who feels like escorting me for any part is welcome to come along of course

I can leave pretty much anytime on Saturday and take my time getting there (read: back roads:niceone:) - On Sunday I will probably leave Napier around 2pm-ish and will almost certainly be coming down route 50 to dannevegas but from there its all up in the air....text if you wanna catch up - i can probably check kb on sunday morning too if anyone comes up with a plan....

all suggestions welcome....

edit: this is all assuming the weather isn't garbage

[Meanie]

I am a bit gutted to be quite honest One of my kitchen designers/office manager has a month off having an operation and one of our joiners left a couple of weeks ago so we have had to have a change around of staff leaving me to run the whole office on my own so i havnt had time to even think about riding let alone getting on the bike so it has sat in the shed since Sunday
However i am going to Wellywood on Saturday to measure a couple of jobs so my choice of transport is very obvious,:scooter: even if its raining :yes:
400 kms on her so far and i can tell you the heated hand grips work extremely :Punk: well
On a bright note though it will feel new for a lot longer:yes:

[cowboyz]

I will come and help you out.

I could do your job while you go out riding all day.

I am experienced in surfing kiwibiker all day.

Oh shit sorry, that was Yods job not yours, looks like your stuck.

You are only jealous of us poor bxxxxxds stuck infront of computers all day. Why don't you get a lift down with Meanie and then keep his bike warmed up for him around Welly:dodge:

Oops managed to offend 3 people in one paragraph.

buy a kwaka. Best idea you have had so far. Besides, there happens to be something in the water round here that forces everyone in the manawatu area to buy a new bike.

be good to see you bandit .. & weather can be as shitty as it likes this weekend since I have to work .. but :rockon: the next sat .. it will be a pearler :yes:

[chanceyy]

Sounds like a plan to me :yes:

& if you get here early just come to my place again :scooter: hope I am over this damn sinus infection by then .. cause its fair laying me out at the mo ..

[chanceyy]

woo hoo nice lil group forming so far .. hope alot more can make it ..

this definately is not a fast ride .. really want some of the lurkers out there to come join us .. important that you ride your own ride

If we have a large enough group we will have a tail end charlie organised (prob me) .. & converge together as a group regularly .. there will be a ride brief at Ashhurst mobil so everyone is in the loop

Since Al pretty much rode the route today & I have not been past masterton will rely on his expertise on the roads further south ..

anything else ppl can think of to make this ride successful .. Al was thinking if you, yod, meanie take the lead & like turangi when you turn off second rider stops & directs everyone in the same direction once tail end charlie goes through can ride ahead again .. that way the ride can pretty much flow & have fewer stops .. what do you think ? .. we can decide on stopping points to regather again as a whole ...

also where is a good eating place down that way ?? & if we have a large enough number should we warn them ??

Might be a good idea to sort out some sort of timetable and re group points That way if someone along the way wants to join us they know what time and where
Allow enough time for the stragglers
I nominate Yod for this job cause he drew the route on the map :yes:
anyone second that :shutup:
Could have an eating establishment amongst these

definitely! as I said to cowboyz this evening; the more kms on the bike, the better, as far as I'm concerned:rockon:

[cowboyz]

shit. I really want to come now even if it is just to get you guys lost.

might have to create a plan...........

[86GSXR]

shit. I really want to come now even if it is just to get you guys lost.

Put your front tyre on or I'll fit my pillion seat :yes:

[yod]

a quick RF chain/sprocket update:

started the mission wednesday night with a flash new DID x-ring chain and new sprockets.:yes: took as much off the bike as I could then cowboyz showed up with a few tools that I was lacking. discovered the front sprocket nut was tighter than a fishes arse, so put it back together and off we went to his workshop to give it a crack with the airgun...hmm...interesting transmission issues I discovered....why? cowboyz put my gear change on backwards so now it was 1 up, 4 down....:laugh:

got home and back into it, everything ok but we just didnt have anything tool-wise sufficient to press the rivet link on with...needed too much pressure so we flagged it for the evening

continued the mission thursday night: i got hold of a g-clamp and a cheap-o vice, that did the trick, rivet link went on with a bit of elbow grease then i just waited for cowboyz to return with the right tools to punch the rivet ends and put the sprockets back on

was a bit of a mission to put the rear wheel back on and get the brake disc back between the pads, so we ripped the caliper off, took the pads out and tried to push the pistons back out...nup, wasn't happening....using the g-clamp and vice and a variety of techniques we finally got the pistons out, back together she went, we bled the brakes (and topped up with dot4)

almost completely back together now and i was leaning on the rear brake so cowboyz could tighten the front sprocket nut....hello....rear brakes not releasing!!:shit: so now i'll have to take the rear caliper off AGAIN and sort out the pistons....same problem as I've got with the front brakes on the viffer (FFS!!!) :oi-grr:

ahwell....at least i'm getting to know my bikes a bit better.....

[cowboyz]

done that. new front tyre rocks.

[86GSXR]

done that. new front tyre rocks.

Choice! Let's hope you can make it next weekend?

Brakes - hmmmm?

well since I dunna know times very well, thought I might have a natter to both Yod & 86 re times .. 86 & I chatted about the route & eating places on the way down .. & might natter to a few of the masterton crowd for places that are good & on the trip ..

I will update the first post & calendar next week when things are coming together put main points are leaving shannon 9.30, leaving ashhurst mobil 10.30 .. since sarge has put his name down will meet in woodvill after we travel saddle road at caltex ( is that the first garage?) 10.50 & leave 11.00am ... fuel stop pahiatua thenback roads to masterton (refuel?) .. thats as far as I know .. or as far as i have travelled ...

so might have to give you a call on sunday jonno to work it all out is that cool ?? & will chat to 86 more about a route from masterton to takas .. guessing we will stop on summit of the taka's then refuel in hutt stop on paikakariki hill & sedate trip home dropping off ppl as we go ..

might even have choccy cake in shannon for a coffee break :shutup:

Took the new ZG for a spin to Wellington today, stopped in Otaki to make a phone call and met a lady opening up a coffee shop who told me about her husband who recently brought himself a Buel and coming around the corner on the para paras ran head on into a car in the wrong lane Bike a mess and wrecked the tendons in his hand but still has managed to get back on one of his old bikes :rockon:
Carried on through and wouldnt you know it Drizzle in and around Wellington Suprise suprise Still had a good run anyway (I hate Wellington traffic)
Took some photos on the way back as it was getting dark on Paekok hill
Ive done 820 kms now and am allowed to run it up to 6000 rpm
It is doing 160 kmh at 4800 rpm so id love to know what shed do at red line in top gear :shit:
Im love having heated hand grips and a windscreen :love: why didnt someone tell me about these before

Yea they put them on for me the day i picked it up
I forgot to mention as i was riding through Wellington towards the airport i went passed the Kaeasaki dealer and there was a guy sitting on another Concours with a dealers plate about to go for a test ride I tooted at him but he was too interested in looking at the dash of the bike to look up Never mind
AFC have another one in there already, the third including mine, could be a popular bike in time :yes:

yep...and the rear brakes still ok too....cheers for the help there matey


Hey yod did you see a GB per chance going in the oppersite direction.

Edit- found another interesting rd today. Quite norrow in places but all sealed.

umm...not that i remember, there were a crapload of bikes out yesterday and quite a few today too, came back down route 50 then the main road to woodville, hung a left to pahiatua and treated the RF to a rip over the track before we got home, started raining 10 minutes after i parked her in the garage....nice timing

a few pics from yesterday at the patangata pub, where river rd meets elsthorpe rd - definitely worth shooting through there again, awesome riding. i turned north and went up through middle rd but it was just as inviting to head east to elsthorpe - must do that one day

other pics are from route 50 on the way back today, was a relatively quick run back, especially when an amusing chap had delusions about which was quicker, his ford or my suzuki....suffice it to say he is no longer confused....

[robertydog]

Yes that road is one of our favorites. Heading to Elsthorpe from Patangata is really nice. Going from Elsthorpe to Havelock can be unforgiving so a word of cautuion. Few bumps, holes and loose gravel on some areas of the road at this time.
Nice pics and great weather.

good to know - there was a fair bit of cowe shit the way i went as well...the fresh stuff always makes things interesting :laugh:

saturday was an absolutely blinder of a day for riding, bikes everywhere...when i got to napier i could have happily kept on going...

[chanceyy]

Hope ya got out - and before the rain. Got talked into getting wet. At least we weren't the only ones with no sense - saw a few guys stopped at Pahiatua.

Due to the HB drought all the farmers were grazing along the side of the roads. It was the only place there was any grass.:dodge:

[cowboyz]

nice pics. good to hear of trouble free riding.


Plan has been created for next weekend but ONLY IF THE WEATHER IS MINT.

Will be joining the ride but not in my usual fashion. Will be cruising along around the back quietly 2up. Bobbie doesnt like rain/shit weather so if it is at all doggy weather we will be taking the car.

We will hop off the ride in wellington as we are staying there the weekend.

Should be interesting and hoping for good weather.

Excellent .. will be great to see Bobbie out & about :yes: And its not a race so planning on a crusiey type ride .. so ya can tail end charlie with me .. depending on how many come ;)

[cowboyz]

jezzzzz. wasnt planning on going THAT slow..................... :dodge:

[cowboyz]

seriously though. It might end up with a bit of competition on who is going to be the slowest. Talking to meanie today and he is cool to criuse along behind. I will not be doing ANYTHING over 140k. And you want to tail end. It will work itself out.

Depending on skill level of riders who are coming it will be great to have a couple taking turns at tail end .. cause I would love to have another go at the back roads from pahiatua again ..

have updated first post regarding ride .. yod will post another map ..

will wait & see may split the riders over saddle & gorge & met at the woodville garage ... can decide on the day .. ;)

long term forcast is not looking bad at this stage . so fingers crossed .. :Punk::scooter:

Yes we gave it a thought .. but decided this is a cruisey ride & aka's can be a demanding road .. esp with winter conditions as well

[yod]

Sure is a good ride through there on those back roads are they in good nick after all that rain we had or did it not get it bad that way.

nah not so bad down this way, part of it was resealed about 3-4 months ago so other than a bit of loose chip should be pretty good, other than normal NZ back road goodies, odd bit of moss, dirt and cow crap :laugh:

does sound like a good way to start the week off i must say!


ahh is that the woodville that is about halfway to welly?

[sarahtvet]

good to know - there was a fair bit of cowe shit the way i went as well...the fresh stuff always makes things interesting :laugh:



Hey just watch out for it after a frost. Mate of mine in Devon didn't try and avoid it because there was so much on the road, a constant problem there. It was frozen and he went for a right pearler. Was fine but lucky and bike was feeling mightily sorry for itself:yes:

yep, woodville is just before the gorge so about 1.5 hours at legal-ish speeds

[sels1]

[QUOTE=chanceyy;1147456].. really want some of the lurkers out there to come join us ..

cool..be nice to put a face to the name

weather still looking ok too...

[canarlee]

im just having a look at the map now, woodville is just next door to the meet place at ashurst yes? (mobil garage?)

and meet time is 10;00?

[yod]

ashhurst is about another 10mins past woodville - definitely worth the extra time if you haven't been through the gorge before, its a good little bit of road (except for the traffic) - but then you can shoot back over the saddle road with us too, its a nice twisty section as well....

edit: leaving ashurst at 10:30 so as long as you're there by 10:20 you'll be sweet

[canarlee]

ok ok im coming...

[chanceyy]

I've just stumbled upon this thread...(been away up north for a week - still catching up on things) I'd been keen to join ya's


awesome Sels .. met at shannon mobil 9.30 :D .. be great to catch up again


ok ok im coming...

great Lee will be nice to put a face to the name .. take your pick .. can either met at woodville 10.50am .. only one gas station there on the western end of town or come through the gorge & the mobil garage on the right at Ashhurst leaving there 10.30 sharp ..

a couple of the faster riders may head back over the saddle to woodville .. others who are either 2up or just want to cruise will head back through the gorge .. we will all meet at woodville garage again & head off as a group

[canarlee]

cool, it looks like a couple of the HB crew might be coming down for your rideout too?!

i will try and make ashurst for 10 but if not then yep i will see you in woodville, look out for a dark blue bandit 1250 (half faired) with a tank bag and another bag strapped to the pillion seat!

[Meanie]

Have just asked my wife if I'm allowed to go ( she doesn't want to )

If I complete my chores prior to Saturday, I could be in luck.

Will confirm Friday.

Would be nice to meet you all

You ask your wife :dodge:

Maybe the Hawkes Bay riders can ride down together if they are leaving from here on Sat AM?

Hope to see you all there

Shannon, i may have someone meeting us there on his brand new harley :yes:

last week 86, Storm and I met up at the BP on fitzherbert just near the bridge at about 8:15am, good excuse to shoot down to shannon, get the bikes warmed up and join in the ride back to ashhurst - the more km's the better
:rockon:

if they're leaving shannon at 9:30 we probably only need to meet at the BP at 8:30, time enough for a chat, a coffee, a nosey at meanie's new beast, gas if you want/need it, a chance for 86 to shine the muffler on the daytona:dodge: and then we can shoot through to shannon....all welcome of course unless you'd rather get another hour in bed and meet at ashhurst :lol:

mrs yod is 50/50 at this stage, she has a bit of a bung knee so will decide later in the week....

so, see you at the BP, somewhere around 8:15-30am....

[rustys]

[yod]

Saturday arvo not looking crash hot - should be ok in the morning tho...will keep an eye on it...

[cowboyz]

quick question, what time do you finish the ride? am only asking coz im carrying on down to welly after and i need to find accomodation when i get there. so i dont want to be too late leaving you all!

Mrs Cowboyz and myself are also staying in wellington for the night. I would be thinking we should be in wellington by 2 oclock.

If the ride/stops are getting stretched out and it looks like we are running a bit late we would be keen to head off striaght down there so could follow us down if you like.

[canarlee]

following you down to welly sounds like a cool plan!


i can be somewhat, erm how shall i say it........directionally challenged! lol


will talk to you on saturday aye.


ps, im not the fastest of riders but im not too slow either so you might change your mind after seeing my riding lol

Fortunately I am not directionally challenged! Most of the time I can tell if the bike is going forwards, backwards, left or even right. It is following a predetermined route I have trouble with.

ps. I will be 2up with the sole purpose of not scaring my pillion so I get laid in the near future so will not be breaking any speed records

[86GSXR]

Just follow the big green SIGNS, and you should be right :D

[Mouse]

I'll be doing a quick pie and coffee at the BP I'd say, as no doubt I'll be running too late to toast it at home.
