Did anyone see the bit on the news about the new James Cameron movie out in december? Movie is called Avatar, just checked out the trailer, looks promising...

[banditrider]

Looks pretty impressive all right, though probably not as good as my avatar...

[ducatilover]

White or gold? The original flavour was a yummy gold [not that shit on it]

I know this is a bike forum....but it's a classic cage!

[KiwiKat]

Just a thought..... have any of you thought about riding across USA / Canada? Target 2011.

The start of a big ride: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1129372772#post1129372772

[ynot slow]

Shit makes some of the kiwis rides seem a small stroll.
I even managed a small loop this arvo.Checked air pressures and needed a little air,so did that.Onto Rangitikei and out to Bunnythorpe,nice ride and gave a bit of spirited right hand,impressive I thought,onto Ashhurst.
Through HW57,gave way to car turning and sat on 110km behind it,thought this is nice and time to go,around a corner comes :Police:check speed and 115km,wait and see but all good.The bloody uneven road surface by Tielcy Park or Orrs Rd (not exactly sure which) was fun after you've just passed a car and doing 120 ish,nice cruise into the village,saw 2 bikes and waved.
Got home and realised it is longest ride without a pillion since I've had the bike.

Couple of observations,the weather is getting warmer with leathers and t shirt making a nice combo,and without pillion you can have the confidence of taking a bit more lean/risk and learn what the bike can do within reason.We live in a great country to ride around,hope I never lose that feeling of enjoyment when riding,even if only say 50km trip.

[banditrider]

Oh yeah baby!

Be interesting to know how hot his knees were considering the proximity to the headers and cylinder head...

[sarahtvet]

Just had an awesome pillion spin on the back of a TransAlp over the track to Pahiatua. Very impressed at how that goes through the twisites even with those knobbly tyres on. Still it is heavier than the Scrambler so when the lotto win comes in I am still sure I will be biased towards a Triumph :love:

Going to try a KTM off road at the weekend whilst the beast is getting some tender loving care in Opunake :sunny: Get to go for some stationary drops and skids without the normal stress involved :lol:

I'd rather have the car that goes with that engine.

Plus they should've gone with the 8.3ltr, as the 8.0ltr is somewhat lacking in horsepower:laugh:

anyone out there got a multimeter I can borrow for 30secs? Lucus, the Prince of F#@king Darkness has returned to possess Eleanor and the battery is either not charging off the bike or is being drained thoughout the day.

Want to know which curse of plague and pestilence she suffers from to determine if I'll go to the TOMMC ride tomorrow. A quick check for 14.4V while running will answer this current mystery and help me determine which exorcism rites I need to follow to once again banish the evil b@#tard back to the nine hells of Kawasaki whence his foul presence did come forth from!

Should always take a camera with ya:

I was taking the dog down to the river for walkies and saw a guy on a GN transporting some lengths of wood! He had carpet around one end which was rested on the tank & in his lap (comfy) and the other ends were poking out over the handle bars. Probably 5-6 foot lengths. Dunno what he was going to do if he had to potter around a tight corner.

Just needed a suit of armour and he'd be set for a joust!

Any 250 cc bike?

Went to Tui today,had a convoy of 23 cars from Palmy thru to Woodville,grouped there,joined a group of 12 from Napier and Gissy.Parked around the back of tui,and went for a tour,then bbq lunch.

A few pics with the tui girls for those who won prizes,the girls picked best car and the winner obliged with the required burnout,very impressive too,so next time you're at Mangatoinoka and check and see if the tyre marks on the area by the outdoors area are still there.Bloody elderly hoon,and he's happy to get 8-10000km from his tyres.

A few bikes turned up,a couple heading home from cold kiwi,which was cold but good.About to grab another beer and stuff me walk upto another guy from Hawera,small world.Saw a few bikes on way home as well.Overall a great day out.

took her foot off the brake, had no idea she was even moving, and rolled back into the front tyre of the RF:pinch:

then...

sat there for another minute waiting for traffic to clear and then proceeded to carry on without so much as a 'sorry' or to enquire if there was any damage....:oi-grr: (maybe it was the way i yelled "who was the genius that gave you a fucking license!?!?" that put her off...lol)

silly tart, i genuinely think she took one look in the mirror and saw a 'scarey biker' and was just too freaked out to do anything other than drive off....shameful really.....


Bugger! No damage I hope?

Nah, I grabbed the brakes so I didn't get shunted anywhere and she just hit the tyre and stopped. Her rear bumper just caved in and then popped out, those big fat modern plastic jobbies are pretty good at handling a moderate ding. I was a bit disappointed, it didn't have a mark on it!

Geez that's nothing! Been there done that. Backed into twice, shunted in the back once and then in the side of the Honda last year...

Everytime resulted in bikes off the road. Only able to ride home twice.

You really have to wonder if they do these stunts deliberatly for you tube.

Mum did similar when I got my amazing TS185,told her hop on,showed her the clutch,brakes etc,she rode around the lawn at snail like speed,then hit a clump of freshly mown grass,ended in a shrub.After dad,brother and myself stopped pissing ourselves,we extracated her.

Michelle have fun with Sam,best of luck,mums worry with operations with their sons,even so called minor ones.

You have to wonder when you send off CV,on it states address,contact details.I applied for driving job,got call from Wellington agency yesterday asking,what class did I have,said 1,2,6.What's that again was reply.Car,bike,and class 2 HT,all full I added.Then she says oh I see you're in Palmerston North,where is that,I asked where are you,Wellywood she said,funny I said I used Manawatu work centre add via tard me.Ah we have drivers here we can use.

my update.
Well it appears that I am still unemployed for another 3 weeks and then I only got a 2/5th chance of getting the job I been hanging out for anyhow.

so.. ummmmm.. yeah.. more GLC?

That really sux, will keep my fingers crossed that you do get it eventually, or something better sooner. In the meantime, as least there is GLC :scooter:


Mum did similar when I got my amazing TS185,told her hop on,showed her the clutch,brakes etc,she rode around the lawn at snail like speed,then hit a clump of freshly mown grass,ended in a shrub.After dad,brother and myself stopped pissing ourselves,we extracated her.

I also did something similar many years ago, just after Dad had finished giving me my first ever riding lesson on his bike (CB175 I think). We went home and I jumped on my little sisters cut down moped (knees around shoulder height) ran over a doggie dooie on the front lawn (only wheelie I have ever done) and landed on my butt. Funny, nearly peed myself. :killingme


Number one son has to have an operation to attach a bone back into its proper place on Friday-he has to rest 23hrs/day until then for the swelling to go down.

Hope all goes well and he is up doing wheelies again in no time. :msn-wink:

Napier marine parade is brilliant on a fine day.Surprised the economy,considering sitting on 110-125km,got 320km,still on 1 bar when stopped at Dannevirke,could've risked getting home,when the last bar and fuel icon flash have about 1.5ltr,and at Dannevirke still on 1 bar.Worked out 390km and 19ltrs.Bloody strong winds from Norsewood home.

feilding riders would be exactly what you are looking for. When the weather comes clearer I will post up some ashhurst rides again although they tend to be faster NOONE will complain about waiting. Real good bunch of guys round here.

Cool, have just got my ole bike running again ....well almost.... had starter problems, made a new starter out of 2 models of Yammy and then had no spark on No2 .... couple bare wires in the engine.... fixed that..... carb problem, think thats fixed and now it wont run unless 3/4 choked but plugs look overchoked LOL so its going into the mechanics this week and im picking the timing needs a tweak.

Life is way too short to listen to nay sayers.And a biggerer bike means the lady at home can enjoy the trips(or tell her to get her license).Many a lady said "I'm not hopping on the back" actually enjoy riding.

One thing about the rides is being comfortable at your pace,and nobody gives grief if you are slow,we can't all start off like superbike stars.And watching guys like 86,Cowboyz,Meanie,Yod,Bonez,Monie,NZSarge,to name a few is the confidence you get by following and watching them,usually dissapearing quickly,but picking up on the way the bike handles,and trying to be smooth.One ride up the track we did I wanted to get to the top and bottom of the first hill on it without braking,keeping it smooth and fastish(for me 2 up),managed to do it,rode the remaining 20km to Pahiatua happy as.Watching these guys helped,especially when new to area like we are,not knowing the roads as well as others.

If I remember correctly that is how they got another person who was waiting for the visit ..

Ouch, wouldn't that be 36+kph over the limit?

I'm certainly not going to poke fun, as I'm currently on 70 demerits and 13 months away from a reduction:doh:

Is this your first time?

[cowboyz]

Oh bugger! What, where, how?

speeding is bad! think of the children!

(i did try to use the excuse that I was hardly speeding as both wheels were on the ground but he wasnt buying it)

might sell the kwaka and buy something more suitable for the raod, like a honda. or could just get an aprilla and park it in the shed and look at it.


Now you're talking! Hope I can have a ride...

[86GSXR]

I lost mine in the 80's but it was on my first Gixxer so too easy. How long are you looking at? On the bright side, you may get to be a pillion on a Triumph.....

Pretty sure they won't actually call round to take it from you. They'll suspend it then order you to surrender it to your nearest Police station. Whether you do or not they're hardly going to chase you for it. If you chance it, get pulled over and they do a licence check the system will ask you to assume the position.

[mowgli]

Oh yeah. The ticket is for an alleged infringement. The demerits don't hit your licence until you're found or plead guilty. Paying is in effect pleading guilty.

IIRC to get the maximum delay without incurring additional costs ignore the ticket due date, but make sure you pay by the due date of the first reminder notice. If you miss that you'll be referred to the courts. You should be able to delay things by about two months.

[chanceyy]

that guy lol

:whistle: oh dear I did whisper in her ear to slap her dad & get him to take her for a decent blat rather than a 5 min pootle down the road :innocent:

:scratch: hmm and isn't that where meanie got that other famous pic & she was on the back again ?? .. :rofl:

so delay as long as possible by not paying is recommended?

im screwed anyway but would like to get some summer riding in first.

what shed...
how long will you lose it for

[Flynn]

I can help ya out there... The make of you're next bike should either start with a "Y" or a "K" :2thumbsup
Seriously though, well done mate.

Thanks Sarge, not sure about the K or the Y, the prob is the world's my oyster.


Life is way too short to listen to nay sayers.And a biggerer bike means the lady at home can enjoy the trips(or tell her to get her license).Many a lady said "I'm not hopping on the back" actually enjoy riding.

One thing about the rides is being comfortable at your pace,and nobody gives grief if you are slow,we can't all start off like superbike stars.And watching guys like 86,Cowboyz,Meanie,Yod,Bonez,Monie,NZSarge,to name a few is the confidence you get by following and watching them,usually dissapearing quickly,but picking up on the way the bike handles,and trying to be smooth.One ride up the track we did I wanted to get to the top and bottom of the first hill on it without braking,keeping it smooth and fastish(for me 2 up),managed to do it,rode the remaining 20km to Pahiatua happy as.Watching these guys helped,especially when new to area like we are,not knowing the roads as well as others.

I'm with ya on all that!


hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm
what about a honda ...:2thumbsup

Now your just being SILLY:oi-grr:



Hey Cowboyz, should have sold ya a little blue zuki 250, ya wouldn't have got a ticket on that:yawn: I know where there is one for sale.

[road king]

yep, they give you 28 days, then they send a reminder and that has 28 more days. then you pay on the last day . then once youve payed, they add the demerits, then they send someone out to hunt you down and take your licence.

[road king]

what shed...
how long will you lose it for

its 3 months for demerits

[cowboyz]

yep, they give you 28 days, then they send a reminder and that has 28 more days. then you pay on the last day . then once youve payed, they add the demerits, then they send someone out to hunt you down and take your licence.


yep.. I get a few of them :crazy:

I usually wait till the last day to pay, but apparently the demerits get back dated anyhow so I have lost my licence. its just how long I can delay it for now.


its 3 months for demerits

yep. 3months Yay for me!

[chanceyy]

yes! Your fault!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl: :whistle: maybe but not the other times .. I really do not have that much power :laugh:
