Hamilton riders version 1.1

[TerminalAddict]

since our last thread got stuck in PD because of the queeros spamming it, I thought I might start another.

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=50243

So tomorrow is the last day of winter ... thank goodness

[ZeroIndex]

Yay, hopefully this one doesn't get posted up with bunches of drivel like the last one did.

I need an engine for my mountain bike... hills are steep :(

[TerminalAddict]

Weather looks good for the weekend.

I think I've got a private ride to visit Mrs TA's mother's grave this weekend.

Might take the long way ;)

[Hitcher]

This will be the third attempt at a Hamilton riders' thread. If you want this to be a purposeful thread and not to end up in Pointless Drivel with its predecessors, then do not use it as a respository for stories about binning, stunts gone wrong, Friday night hooning exploits, run ins with the constabulary or any other crapola.

Moderators will endeavour to assist keeping this thread on track but, at the end of the day, its up to Hamilton riders to self-manage the content.

[Switch]

Right...uumm...So who went out for a ride this weekend? Did you lot have a good time? Any misshaps?

[TerminalAddict]

Well I Went to new plymouth, then headed west around munt taranaki.
Turned north to hawera, turn right at stratford, throught to Whangamomona, then on to taumaranui, and back up sh3 to hamilton .

680kms ... :niceone:

On another note.
Very nice that the mods decided to delete all my posts in this thread, but left the post from hitcher saying that we can't talk about: "binning, stunts gone wrong, Friday night hooning exploits, run ins with the constabulary or any other crapola"

So please guys ... just so we can abide by the rules here, lets only talk about topics that are approved.

Since I have already pissed off a senior mods, would one of you kind gents ask hitcher to provide us with an "approved topics" list.

On a personal note:
Do what ever you want mods ... for fuck sake, I've abided by all the rules here since my joining, and you can't be fucked acknowledging that. Now I am personally offended that my thread/posts/contributions get binned.
Me thinks its time for yet another forum website. Anybody else interested? Or should I just make use of sportsbike.co.nz more?

[SimJen]

I think Hitchers point, is to not make KB a target for people looking to diss bikes!
If we have a thread based on exploits and run-ins with the fuzz etc, as a whole it makes us bikers look bad.
KB is here for the good of biking and to help spread the word on our great past time.
Use it wisely :)

[tri boy]

I keep an eye on this thread, but to be honest, alot of the banter thats posted seems to lead it off track.
Throw a bit of shit at each other by all means. But I think some more bike related comments are needed. If your posting just to tell your mate that he's a homo cause he doesn't get his knee down, maybe a phone call to him, or better still a couple of beers with him would be a better time/place for it.
This isn't aimed at any one, cause I've only met a few guys briefly.
Summers coming, so this thread will be useful to learners and experienced riders who wish to enjoy the Waikato.
How many learners are out there?
Kanny, my girlfriend is just learning, and guys like Mental T, and Warr are the perfect guys to get feed back from.

good points dude.... but theres some irony in what you post,when your user title is takin into consideration
Hows my riding? 0800KISSMYASS

[tri boy]

Right...uumm...So who went out for a ride this weekend? Did you lot have a good time? Any misshaps?

Fri ride was a cruisey blat down to CK, inland on Waitewhena Rd into Ohura, and then a heap of gravel through to Raurimu and onto the rally.
Sundays rain put a dampner on the dirt so I travelled home on Hwy4.
Good weekend.;)

[SimJen]

I am not advocating anything, its just a phrase or was that phase? :Punk:

Just cause I have Viva La Figa in my sig doesn't mean I go out raping women..... ;)

[Lias]

Just cause I have Viva La Figa in my sig doesn't mean I go out raping women..... ;)
Just to totally take things offtrack, some of us would probably pay good money to see that :headbang:

I also think that like hooning around carparks, wheeling and running from teh cops ARE part of the biker culture, and KB's culture. The problem comes from the fact that the mods tend to be older, more mature, more conservative, and dont want anything that could shed a "bad light" on the rest of us. Personally I've never wheelied in my life, and I still think the mods are way OTT these days.

Now to drag things back on topic I rode to the shops this weekend, and consumed a lot of alchohol.. Not at the same time..:Police:

[smoky]

You think? I think thats just about youth - regardless of what they drive/ride
It's a petrol head culture maybe - but I wouldn't think it was a KB culture, most of the guys I've met from KB seem to stay away from trouble.

Isn't the mod who has attacked our thread a cop in real life?

[terbang]

Oh shit! Hang on, Hamilton thread. Well I used to live there.

We've got plenty of members who have done the runners from cops, plenty who stunt on public roads, plenty who speed on public roads.. I'd say a goodly section of kb have that culture. And not all of them are young. I've met a few in the 30-50 range that fall into that category.

I dunno who was it? none of the mods are cops that I know of but I dont pay too much attention.

[Waylander]

Uh guess again. It happens everywhere mostly by the 25-35 aged (rough guess) members, but it's just the young ones in Hamilton that enjoy broadcasting it out to everyone within sight of a computer.

[Mental Trousers]

Where'd you get that idea?? As far as I know there aren't any mods that are cops. That'd be a bad thing for more reasons than you will ever know.

Pretty much. There's plenty of places in the country that are having problems with boy racer types, but Hamilton is big enough to have quite a few that ride bikes. Out of all of the cities in NZ Hamiltons crew is one of the more outspoken.

[Waylander]

Maybe he meant MAF. That could be seen as being a cop, particularly when someone brings a couple pieces of fruit in on a plane. Aye Hitcher?

[TerminalAddict]

interesting ....

so hands up who hasn't run from the cops?

[Mental Trousers]

I accidentally did once (but didn't get away), but never on purpose.

Heading out from Ruakura at the roundabout there was a car behind that was uncomfortably close to me, so when I left the roundabout I put a bit of space between us. 5k's down the road I see the christmas lights of a mufti car in my mirror, he'd been trying to catch up to me since the roundabout lol. He was a good bugger though, a detective that didn't really want the paperwork so I got off with a warning.

[Hitcher]

Are we off topic yet?

[smoky]

Sorry Hitcher for casting desperations your way. :Police:

So there are hoons in Hamilton!!!! :shit::no::oi-grr::eek5::gob::shutup::o
Well it aint me - I’m too fat to get the front wheel off the ground, too slow to run away from cops and too tired to stay out late and join the boys to try and pull stunts in car parks (I’d only trash my bike anyway).

[smoky]

Are we off topic yet?


:spanking:I think we've discussed every topic you told us not to discuss
Chuck it all in the bin Hitcher

By the way, days are getting longer so hope to see a few of you pop over this way to drop by the pub on thursdays.

Warr was completely oblivous to the cop behind us .... he never uses his mirrors :Pokey:

Where did you get the idea that you could say whatever you want on a forum that is owned by someone else?? People always seem to think they've got rights online. Dunno why. On kb you can do/say whatever SpankMe allows, and that is enforced by proxy through the moderators :Police:

Anyway, I think the topic is Not being a dickhead :niceone:

[tri boy]

Who stocks the best range of motocross/off road pegs in Hamilton?
I gotta modify the Scrambler pegs. Slippery as snot once theyre wet.
Something like what this guy in the US has done.

[Mental Trousers]

Go in to any of them and ask about Pivot Pegs. They pivot so that your foot is always flat against them so you don't slip at all and they're similar to those pegs.

[tri boy]

Will do. Slight issue with the mounting design. That dude had to get the mounts made, and then weld the cleats on.
Hows Fri munchies look'n?

Yep, if you want to say what you like, you'll have to pay and setup your own forum/hosting.
Easy enough to do, but will people use it?......I doubt it, especially if its a free for all.

Cant let you get away with that one :2guns::2guns:
You just think at my age I'd have forgotten....
This was the night ride I said I'd ride in front and turn my mirrors in so you can stay on full.
A good example of someone not using their mirrors was the last trip to Pete's place. At least moi was prepared to pick up all the stragglers :)

The weathers as premo as it can be, roads dry and gagging for rubber – this thread should be full of ‘lets go….riding’ ideas
Ah well I’m heading out and gonna find my way to some piece of coast, breeze thru some twisties to scrub my new tyre in, and take in the superb scenery we all take for granted in NZ, a long black at some sea side café somewhere where I can subtly admire eye candy dressed for summer

We were going to invite you along to BBT's but for 2 things
1. You said you didnt know what it was
2. You were going to hire a digger and play.

The forgotten highway was well remembered – although I had some issues that challenged me, a sore back and a dodgy rear shock, I did have a blast, a good day out. Great to see all the bikes at Wangamamona.
Thanks guys

Sure man. Wallet a wee bit lighter tis all.
That forgotten highway is the ride of all rides, 600 k's all round. It just goes on and on. In comparison 22 would be a walk in the park and Coro a dream, but the ForgH/way was very tight and technical.
Cant decide actually between ForgH/way and EastCape. Both awesome ride as is The Takaka Hill down South Island and the Milford road!!

Either on a break, or looking after the kids, I have a bad back and getting treatment for it - so I'm only doing a bit at a time, when my back gets sore I take a break.

No sorry didn't get out for a ride tonight - I went to Tauranga to assist with an induction evening at the office over there.
Hope you had a good ride
