No, you shouldnt complain. We as motorcycle riders know that we can have an off at anytime. And we know that it can hurt. You came out great compared to some. So harden up.

Hey folks, such a beautiful day out there thought we'd head out for a cruise. If anyone's interested in Palmy, Fordell, Hunterville, Vinegar Hill, Palmie how about leaving from BP Rangitiki St at 2.00. See you there if you're keen!

Yod, you're welcome to jump on the back if you're up to it.

[GSVR]

Yod, you're welcome to jump on the back if you're up to it.

What about Mrs Yod? Besides I'm pretty sure Yod still has the VFR which will need a run by now.

No can turney the key. KIPass is dead - new system on order: ignition, keys, and all the electrical doodads. Left me stranded at the top of vinegar hill last weekend. Apparently there's been a few in the states but mine is first in NZ...

Least I wasn't out at Cape Reinga when it happened...

Bloody windy here,just sussing out the V8s.

Prediction Murphy will prang:clap: with Ingall,Courtney,and Scaife and it WON'T be his fault(tui moment).:beer:

[ynot slow]

Bastard bastard,bitch,Whincupp just totalled his car.

Got hit by T.Kelly after Kelly hit the ripple strip and spun into Whincupp.

One less bloody ford thanks to holden driver p/t,and the bloody holden car was sponsored by Jack Daniels.Have to drink Mr.Beam product,but even their car was damaged yesterday,and it was ford.

well, i actually have the VFR all sorted and legal.....looks mint too, i spent about 3 hours cleaning up the chain and sprocket

pity i cant ride it:argh:

[chanceyy]

well the wee plan today of heading down to TSS to check out the shop & perhaps a bike or two, closer we got to otaki the darker/colder it got & with the offer of a hot coffee @ sinfull's & Hedi's place that sounded like a much better option :yes:

Bill filled me in on the aft plan of 86's .. quick text to confirm but hmm the weather looked dodgy ....

so killed a hour or more there before heading back to the clydesdale cafe for a latish lunch & kill a few more hours talking bikes (allowing the weather to clear enough to head home) :wari:

nice wee flick, but can definately feel that winter chill coming on ..:cold:

great way to pass a day thanks for the company Sarge .. pity we did not get to welly but hey there is always another day cheers :D

[Nasty]

Weather took a while to clear up here today .. we are heading north shortly for dinner and have heard that it is worse up that way ... oh well ...

[Meanie]

Sux being bikeless eh?

Crap mate, you must be pissed off. Im gonna go see them and strongly suggest they have another one in the country on stand bye just in case, cause if that happens to me after spending that sort of money on a new bike, i,m gonna spin out big time, especialy if i got to wait for four weeks for parts

[ynot slow]

Pretty much what I was thinking,pouring over $20 grand and having to wait that long,tell em you'll willingly pick the part up in Japan on Monday,they pick up the tab though.If it has happened in the USA as well why haven't they a couple of parts here,just in case.You usually get the odd teething problem with a new model.

Gonna wait & see a bit before I do the big spin out - want answers first.

I think Kawasaki NZ are lucky it happened to you and not me, you obviously are a lot more patiant than i am.

[sugilite]

Kawasaki NZ are well known for being to tight to carry parts, sad but true.... I know.

Just keep taking to pills and attending the anger management classes please. We don't want you to blow a brakepad.


Looks like its going to be a cracker day for a ride. Just got to figure out where I'm going.

[86GSXR]

Sorry to hear of the delay to the Connies guys!

Sarah and I are keen for a ride if anyone else is. Meet 1100 at BP Rangitiki for Marton Fordell Hunterville Vinegar Hill? Didn't get far yesterday, a bit miserable out there and cold. Time to get the winter gear out!

I'm sorry but is it just me? Three weeks hardly sounds like a priority to me. Have any of these freakin people heard of air freight?
Considering I assume your bike is still well within it's warranty period have they given you something else to ride in the meanwhile? Like a ZX14 :devil2:

That front is bearing down with a vengeance :weep: May not get too far but we'll be at the BP and see what it's like. May go home and watch V8's too :whistle:
Did you go out in the end? Might be keen today if you did just as long as it's not left too late, got bloody frozen on he way home yesterday!

Yeah I reckon mate, if a bike develops a well known fault I see absolutely no reason why the main parts centres for the bike manufacturers cant at least have one of said part in stock on standby. That part that Yod waited for for so long was a well known fault and is pretty much a given that it would at some stage fail (from what I understand) on most RF Suzuki's so why not have the part in stock at the main parts centres for immeadiate dispatch and then re-stock?

[86GSXR]

Heading down to BP Rangitiki shortly Sarge. Trying for 1100 but may be 10 mins later due to escaped cow!

[sarahtvet]

Decided to let 86 go play without the blue beast providing distraction :innocent:
We have finally decided that Greens Road needs a proper warm up:soon:
Friday 25th April, perhaps we/somebody can suggest a ride and end up here around 4pm for bbq and continue on as far through the weekend as we can all manage:devil2:
Early start so that those with other committments/kids can still drop in and if the weather is good the energetic amongst us can go for a tramp in the woods and to meet Rhapsody and Harmony,the houdini cattle, before 86 kills them with his bare hands (or the chainsaw!!)
Thought we would also then be up for a sunday :ride:or have time to really recover before the working week encroaches:sunny:
Plenty of sleeping space inside and out so bring sleeping bags and tents for when you finally crash:yawn:Address is 72 Greens Road, Kahutewara Valley. Behind Massey, go down old west road and turn onto Kahutewara Valley road, 4k along is Greens road on L, no exit gravel road so please be careful!!!!
We are the second obvious drivewayon the right (immediately next to 68), yellow postbox, go to top of drive and you shall be at the garage and be able to admire SK1PY, GIXXERS and Daytona's sleeping abode :love:

[Bonez]

Home safe and sound after grand arvos shimmying around the place. Good turnout. An all boy affair till Dogs and Phebs turned up Hunterville. Caught up with Bazza at Cheltenham. Heaters on, tea is in the oven but am unsure if I'm able to stay awake long enough to skoff it.

YAWWWWWWWN!!!!!!!

[86GSXR]

Yes, a most excellent ride with lots of good roads and company. Dodged a few geese, peacocks, gravel and cowshit, but good to see the trees turning amber and red in time for winter, very nice :sunny:

[Dak]

Was out round that way today as well,unfortunatly didn't see you guys anywhere, tis definatly getting a bit colder now though.

[ynot slow]

Went to PioPio this morning,saw a few bikes on way back,brilliant weather around the coast by Mokau and Awakino,a few road works past Awakino pub and largeish rocks in road.Absolutely awesome weather and views.Worst part was had to take the car soe luggage and passenger.

[Bonez]

Was out round that way today as well,unfortunatly didn't see you guys anywhere, tis definatly getting a bit colder now though.We met up with some guys from Wangas at Hunterville, black cb13 and RF900. The guy on the RF wouldn't let us take the rh bits off his bike to repair Yods bike unfortunately.

I thought that may have been you at the back of the pack Bonez. I waved to Bazza when I passed him at Cheltenham. I can't believe he was still there when you guys called in. I had hoped to make the ride today after chores, but I was a little late, so decided to take the Mrs out for a ride this afternoon. It looks like you had a good turnout anyway!

[chanceyy]

Did you go out in the end? Might be keen today if you did just as long as it's not left too late, got bloody frozen on he way home yesterday!


yesterday was blardy freezing .. did you manage to dodge the showers on the way home Sarge or get caught in them as well ?

Hope you got trainer wheels on that armchair :whistle:oops..... i guess that was a little harsh:oi-grr:
Pity you missed the ride today, it was a good one I found Bonez and chanceys corner of doom rather suddenly, thank you ABS brakes :sweatdrop
missed a sheep by very little and had fun dodging rather large piles of horse shit on the road that seemed to go on for a very long time, think that horse needs a vet. Met a couple of guys at Hunterville, one on an RF that had been repaired after being written off, wouldnt have known if he hadnt have told us but alas he was unwilling to part with the right side of his bike. Sorry Yod we tried
A great ride and a good way to spend a Sunday
Got told off when i got home though, :spanking: it appears i forgot it was Mine and Monies 17th wedding anniversary today ... its a bloke thing we all forget..........dont we ?

did they still have the deep gravel sections on the road that you head into hunterville ??

hmm ya not supose to forget them anniversaries Meanie :nono: ..

[cowboyz]

I was feeling a bit off today. Combination of being tired and cold and just blah really. Thought I would go out on the bike to clear my head.
Turned out to be a good ride. Nice and pacey up Halcombe hill turned into a "Where the fuck are we?" out the back of middle of nowhere onto Hunterville for lunch before a run down vinegar hill.
The cafe at Hunterville seems to be working out better now and their pies are mint.
Got a few pics

pic 1. Police lineup
pic 2. A rose between a thorn and a tanker
pic 3. Essential smoke stop
pic 4. someone needs to clean their bike!

[86GSXR]

Cool pics, I especially like the third one. It's so typical to just stop and park up in the middle of the firken road eh :laugh:

[cowboyz]

I seem to recall that someone wanted a smoke at the time!

[86GSXR]

Ah, yes, thats right <_<

[cowboyz]

Oh. and if your anything like me and have no idea where we went this is what come off the gps..........

[yod]

Hehe,naughty guy,but you didn't forget the anniversary did you?Nope you went for a ride so she could enjoy the wonderfull day doing whatever she wanted to do,afterall it was her day,and thus that was your gift to her for the wonderfull years together.Priceless as the add says.

Well done on the anniversary,something to be proud of.:woohoo:
And as a guy you have probably forgotten all of them since day one,so no problem.

Never have been good at remembering dates like that, i have to programme the kids birthday into my phone, forgot to put in the anniversary though

[ynot slow]

Liked the idea of the phone,my brother does the same,he put mums birthday in,but he sent the present on the 6th her birthday was 16th,the phone sent his alert and he forgot it was 10 days early,mum was impressed as she knows I usually tell him a couple of days before.

On the way home after a quick coffee at Meanie's Bassa and I went back through Top grass road, on the way we dodged 4 freakin' hawks!! Was beginning to think them buggers had it in for motorcyclists...

No, I did'nt get a drop on me but Bassa and I got slightly damp on the way home yesterday but fortunately as soon as I got too the main drag into Vegas it was all good and actually sunny here at home, one hell of a frost this morning though..:cold:

Check out the ambulance run from Wanganui for anzac day for an idea,sounds good.

I thought that may have been you at the back of the pack Bonez. Yeah poor wee GB. Funny thing was I was the only one who appeared to know where we were going ;). Didn't require a GPS even.

I had hoped to make the ride today after chores, but I was a little late, so decided to take the Mrs out for a ride this afternoon. It looks like you had a good turnout anyway!

Hey! it was a late lunch stop and I was only on my first pie........

[Meanie]

Yod isn't doing anything,leave the bourbon to him and both go for a ride.

Now theres a good idea Yod babysitting my kids.........Great contraception they are

[ynot slow]

Jeez don't tell em that,but in hindsight the cost in bourbon may well be more than the ride itself in fuel,and getting a real babysitter,you know blonde,big hooters and from Sweden.

just looking at yods superman vid,following my lad up sh52 all the way from masterton got nearly to wimbledon and he did a yod on a wet right hander going down hill,was round the corner then had a second thought that he wasn,t going to make it and looked in to the verge,and thats where he ended up.not very nice to see anybody do it, let alone your son!i started watching him tumbling of into the greenery and for a split second nearly joined him(so easy to do)anyway upshot is he is just a bit sore,hole in armoured trousers scuffed up jacket etc.forks have been staightened,exhaust re-polished cast alloy rear brake/footpeg assembly plate re welded and cleaned up.all back to sqaure one.he has learned some valuable lessons,he is well aware that any crash that you can walk away from is a good one.anyways stay safe out there folks and remember there is no substitute for good bike gear!

[yod]

ooo, nasty, glad to hear he's ok mate....

im just in the process of organising new gear and i wont be buying anything cheap!

thanks mate,felt a bit strange following him for about 10 kms'kept thinking i shoud get in front and reign him in a bit but didn't seem to get the chance!had a funny feeling all day,really weird.

Soooo... a little lost here... whats the plan or proposal for this friday/weekend involving two wheels?

Just got the Lis's New CBR400RR sorted - kind of (long story to be told over lots of alcohol - it took a month to get from Aucks to palmy, has been dropped off two different trucks, been the cause of 6 houses losing their phone lines over night and put large scorch marks down the side of the poor ZXR400 as well as blowing a few eardrums/windows with some DAMN fine explosive exhaust emissions.) I hate the Bi*ch biike with a passion. So its all yours YOD...:buggerd:

The answers simple. It's a Triumph for you then. Don't be lured by the K word :devil2:

i can see this being a point of serious discussion this friday....over a bourbon or two, of course

edit: the manufacturer of choice, not the leather bondage equipment

A Honda rider came up with this and another Honda rider knew what he meant (Ithink) scarey.

Truimphs must be the most respected bikes on the planet at this point. They just never seem to be put down. Even great marques like Ducati get shit but the Truimph has heritage, looks and acceptable performance.

All depends on what Triumph are you talking about. There been some issues- oil consumption, ECU mapping, warped disks, misaligned hubs, rusty wheels, fuel caps not being able to be removed, broken spokes but I wont tell ;). Not to mention Hinkley are not the Triumph of old thank goodness.

Al and Dogs have certainly shown the performance is acceptable though. Ah lads? Prefer real world evaluations as opposed to race track puffery myself.

[oscarnz]

Rang the insurance company and gave them a rev today as agreed on the amount the assessor said it was worth, but had heard nothing from insurance company.

Got told "oh yeah we have received the paperwork, will pay it out tomorrow night" About time!!!

Wonder how long it would have taken for the payout if I hadnt have rung them.

Make sure you keep on assessors back, as it took mine 3 weeks to get stuff thru to insurance company.

Apparantly the above mentioned issues never actually occurred Bonez, but were in fact simply propaganda circulated by rival, disgruntled manufacturers. Amazing eh? The performance though is outstanding :yes:

I'm out for Friday as well, got a lot of prep stuff to sort out!

Just a reminder to everyone on this thread and anyone who isn't (if that makes sense) that Sarah and I are finally having that long promised house warming up here on the hill and EVERYONE welcome.

Should be a good nite if the weather plays ball which I'm sure it will. Just bring yourselves, something to put on the barbie, something to drink, and chill out for awhile.

Should be good!

Go approx 4 kms up Kahutawera Valley Rd, turn left onto Greens Rd (gravel) and 2nd driveway on the right. No 72.

Some of the insurance companies seem to forget that if the bike/car is written off you inevetibly buy another,so if they shag you around with the claim,chances are you'll look elsewhere,not only for say the bike,but car,contents and home,when the claim is paid out.

If they come in high on your next bike, give us a yell. I can probably get you a quote through my Mrs (broker) as she's just started a bike scheme. She saved me a fair bit on premiums from last year when I was insured through Kiwibike-Star.
Quotes are free!

aaaarrrggghhhh....the pressure!!!

[Owl]

No pressure yod! You'll have a pocket full of cash and plenty of time to find a bike. It doesn't sound like you're particularly brand loyal so you'll have a shitload of options to choose from.

Adopt one today!

If it was just a matter of adoption I would have done that by now, but theres the small matter of $20+K that's causing a bit of a hold up....:pinch:

[slydesigns]

You get what you pay for, and at that price you get alot of supertanker indeed.

[Owl]

anyone going for ride today?

I will be at some stage. I've just got to pick up my boots from PT's, get a fuse and put my washing machine together and take my rear wheel to work and try to formulate a colour for it.
Then I should be set!:ride:

Well it would be rude to not ride today, if anyone want's to join in perhaps.

I'll check back at 10:30.

[slydesigns]

Me and Lis, or atleast myself anyways are definitely keen on a blast in the hills and where ever

[NZsarge]

I don't have my heart set on it but was thinking back route to Masterton, then maybe Taka's and so forth, could be decided at the stop in Masterton.

Yeah, I could have my arm twisted. I'll just need some notice to give me time to get my boots on. After yesterdays struggle, I was almost ready for a nana nap.

[slydesigns]

Well we are easy with where ever you wish to go as long as we try to avoid the rain. When do you want to leave and where do you want to meet up?

[NZsarge]

Ok, meet at BP Ultimate on the way out to Massey for a 11:30 departure.

I'm leaving now, cell phone on.

Shame we couldn't have had a 5th there...

[chanceyy]

well the plans had been set a month ago .. arrangements made for the horses & hopefully if everything pans out this could be the last "longish" ride on Betsy.


On friday packed the bike & off to Dannivegas were Sugi & I went out for a wee play on one of my favorite roads in the area. Sugi's bike was misbehaving a wee bit (at least Betsy was behaving at that point - more about that later) but oh well if need be can always pillion Sugi home if she packs it in .. so off we venture .. :whistle:

on the way back & Sugi's bike finally blew her self free of wot ever was hindering her "good performance" so it was time to swap bikes so Betsy could recieve some "Sugi on the road tuning" kinda care .. met back up at the corner & it was obvious Betsy had worked her two stroke magic as sugi was grinning ear to ear. :innocent: he said well she should run better now .. :gob: she sure does .. ahh magic :clap: so we quickly parted ways & I shot out to Sarges for a coffee (thanks John) and a plan was hatched re attending "the BBQ" race back to Sugi's in & outta the shower in record time & off with Moe Awhi to met Sarge at the corner for the taxi service to 86's place

a good nite with the usual suspects & back home in to bed about 1.30 am, with a early start in the morning

sat morn was a beaut day, but a phone call to mstrs warned the weather was pretty shitty in Napier, & since Sugi decided to come along wet weathers were packed, Betsy was all raring to go, but alas Sugi's bike just wanted to stay home :angry2: ... a few swear words later & the plan was for me to ride ahead (no probs that I would not be caught up ) & sure enough coming into danniverke the green beast was tucked in behind me. :clap:

quick trip out to highway 50 .. had a few wee spits around Norsewood & wet weathers went on at the intersection where dooly was waiting .. actually it was a pretty good ride to napier all things considered .. its been nearly a yr since i have ridden in the wet so needed to get the feel again.

Arrived at Janet & Johns after a good cuppa & as the weather had cleared, (as requested we brought it with us). Sugi & I had to do a quick flick into Hastings :whistle: & made it back out to say hi to the aucks crew that had arrived in our abscence.

A plan was hatched for a wee afternoon pootle & that was just damn great roads & highly enjoyable :2thumbsup

a splendid evening talking the serious stuff, absolute crap & everything in between suited up to ride back to sugi's about 1am.

Now this is where it got interesting & Betsy decided to have a wee moment :crazy: so Sugi ended up being my "guiding light" back to his place .. it was a somewhat of a "special" ride and we rocked in to his place at 3.33am this morning and admittedly it really was quite fun, its the stuff memories are made of. Thank you so much Anthony for the weekend & certainly taking care of me coming home, I really appreciated it & you are one of those guys I am proud to call a true friend. :hug: pass on my thanks to Moe Awhi as well & we will catch up again soon

So no rush to head off today & a great wee pootle home dodging traffic but I have so enjoyed just being on the bike & having fun .. isn't life grand

[sugilite]

No worries on being the 'Guiding Light' It sounded as if a angry mosquito was on my tail at times! I've also never hugged the centre line for 150 km's before :lol: It was esp strange as I'd been doing my best to keep away from the centre line all day up to that point :rolleyes:

Moe-Awhi thanks you for the chocolate and hot date too!!!! (we won't mention cake :devil2:)
