Hmmm, P.P. this weekend, HOG get together @ Otematata the following one ( where we discuss non-waving to other brand riders, metric-cruisers being copy-cats and how all sprotsbike riders are wankers:bleh::lol::laugh::rofl::killingme:whistle: )

[miSTa]

[laRIKin]

We or just I may pop across for a look, meet and greet.
But will not be staying, to close.

[The Lone Rider]

Let me know if anyone wants to ride up with CK. We haven't gotten any organized ride there yet, as I've only heard back from Ian and Geek.

Then again, we ride pretty close to the speed limit so you might not want to.


PS: Give Jerms a kick for me!!!
Go to the rally and do it yourself! Theres a good picture of him on the CK website. More to be added once I take a bucket load more.

Hmm, I already had added it to the events calender. Is there a way to edit and add that option?

I'll probably figure it out before you even wake up and read this :P

Edit--

Yeah, I did.

So if you are going you can add you name to the event page for this

[The Lone Rider]

I know another dude interested in going but he's worried he will appear to lame showing up on a 50cc scooter.

[Ghost_Bullet]

This wee page was slipping away into page 2 oblivion, not to far away now, the weather looks to be dodgy, but who cares.....:niceone:

[miSTa]

What weather forecast you looking at? Metservice says a nice hot nor'wester for Saturday...

[NighthawkNZ]

This wee page was slipping away into page 2 oblivion, not to far away now, the weather looks to be dodgy, but who cares.....:niceone:

looks ok for Friday and Saturday... didn't see sunday... well that what TV fella said

[Ghost_Bullet]

Ummm you got me???

:cold: NOT!!!!

[The Lone Rider]

Boy am I gonna be cold. I dont have a tent. Just gonna be in a sleeping bag and wearing all my cloths. hmmm

[Ghost_Bullet]

Buy a tent, cheapy would only be about 50-60bucks!!!!


Or check here... http://www.kiwidisposals.co.nz/items/?itemID=71 cheap and cant be bad..

[NighthawkNZ]

Boy am I gonna be cold. I dont have a tent. Just gonna be in a sleeping bag and wearing all my cloths. hmmm

hope it don't rain....

errr go buy a tent from www.completeoutdoors.biz (which are in ChCh) or even off trademe... for a good 2 person or 3 person tent are cheap enough or a even hamock and a bivi (hope there is enough trees)

Being cold (when sleeping and camping) is usually coming from up the cold from the ground not the sorrounding air...

I have seen a guys just sleep in a bag and then wrap themself up in a tarp to head of any rain or mositure

[The Lone Rider]

Nah, I'm gonna rough it for this one, or hope that one of the others lets me bunk up.

Overspent this week as is, new helmet, first run test CKCG clothing, new camera, went out to dinner to many times instead of cooking..

Edit-- Not to mention I'd be useless at putting up a tent

[Albownz]

U can get real cheap tents at the Warehouse A frame types. I don't share my tent. Plus i will be with the Patriots most of the weekend so may not get to meet with any of u guys for more than a couple of beers.

Thats not good! You only get title of "One Slightly Chromed Knuckle and the rest are a funny brass color".

Excluding you two, the other 7-10 are going on Saturday. I'll be going Friday if the person I'm bringing along can get her ass in gear.

[cynna]

i have tried that too many times. its ok if you are by a fire otherwise u freeze to the bone.........

[The Lone Rider]

I've managed to get a 25 year old tent that I last was in when I was 10 years old. While it is a "proper" tent, it had been given to the family gardener so his kids could play in it in his yard.

All I can say is.. if this tent's rockin.. dont come knocking (cuz it'll probably fall over if you do)..

Gonna have to get there nice an early before it's to dark to spend two hours remembering how to put it up :D

Edit --

P.S. Someone bring a guitar, I cant fit any of mine on.

[NighthawkNZ]

I be looking forward this one now... 1 sleep and probably leaving Dunners tomorrow about 9:00-9:30 err maybe 10:00

then again... is it okay if I carry a hammer in me pack... I don't want to get shot :doh:

[NighthawkNZ]

on my way for a holiday... do do do (Dam my singing has gotten worse)

Omaru for Morning tea... then Paula returning back to Dunners. I come up the the middle of the island... with a few tiki tours thrown in here and there... basically "Hmmm where does that road go..."

[The Lone Rider]

Back from rally already due moody she devil wanting to go home and sleep in a bed instead of a tent.

First night, slow.. crap crap crap of a band. People stumbling all over the place.

Today, all except one I was waiting for showed up, road to Little River for the cafe with the lot and had some lunch and a blab. Headed back to rally, but one bike developed issues and had to pull over and make a quick fix.

Tonight, lots and lots and lots and lots of bikes. Decent band.. rather agitated female wanting to go home and lay in a bed. Good ride home (not cold at all!), bike developed issues on way home (rear wheel alignment maybe?), lots of retarded quoted posts replys to catch up with.

Photos may or may not be up soon.

Ghosty, were you on the sauce when you came to say hi to some us? :P

[The Lone Rider]

And I just remembered there was no mobile phone reception which made it a hassle for everyone to find each other, but it worked out in the end.

Left to right

Panorama, One of the nicer trikes there, dMouse and his bike

[The Lone Rider]

another pan

[Rashika]

another pan

is that like the frypan?

There's a bus route right past that place you should have put her on it

[The Lone Rider]

Nah, I'd had gotten an equal amount of complaints for that.

[Jerms]

Yeah, sorry I couldn't make it...just back from holiday in Aussie...aaaahhh 30degrees of warmth and sunshine...and the missus wanted me to tidy up the section and make sure the dog remembered who we were after his stay in the kennel... :baby:

Hope you folk had fun at the rally...I'll make sure that I earn some brownie points so I can come to the next one!

:jerry:

Jen...I see that there's some bucket racing down here...that's your thing isn't it !? :msn-wink:

[The Lone Rider]

Ohhh you missed out on so much fun!

I got dragged back home by Nadine, and now she says she actually had fun and doesn't want me to take her off the mailing list so she can come to more. Women!! Sheesh

I got more photos and some video that will go up on the website.

[NighthawkNZ]

just back .... I go NiNi now...

[Ghost_Bullet]

Ghosty, were you on the sauce when you came to say hi to some us? :P

Certainly not, I may ave had two drinks. But gidday anyways....

About the rally:

While it wasn't a huge ride to the (through Lyttleton tunnel, past the Time Ball station, Summit Road to Gebbies Pass, then on to the rally site), the day was a beautiful one. Great scenery, clear skies, warm temperatures, and of course good company.

Nice wee rally, lots of room, nice set up plus as a bonus (and unlike some other rallys) great prices on the bourbon - $3 for a 440ml can :shit:.

Mrs S and I only managed to see two other KB'ers (Ghost Bullet and NightHawkNZ) but we did arrive and camp together so I guess it was rather inevitable. Nonetheless a great time was had by all. :drinknsin

I'd be keen to go again. :banana:

Rally photos (highly sanitised :D): http://rides.webshots.com/album/560881607BIqzcI

[The Lone Rider]

DAng, thats one hot panorama.

Should have see you guys out towards the corner, I spent enough time standing right by. You had a bike nearby with a sign leaning against the wheel?

[miSTa]

Ta, its turned out pretty well, some 19 photos I took to get it.

Never saw you at all sorry, GB told us you were around. Don't remember the bike with a sign...then again there are a few holes in my memory :whistle: GB and NH that doesn't mean you can publicly remind me! :D

[The Lone Rider]

I think we are gonna have to get a sign for fellow bikers we know to catch us, and when we end up somewhere with no mobile reception and was relying on it to let each other know whos coming when :(

I thought KB guys were gonna do a KB sign for these things as well?

[MyGSXF]

nope! :D

I DO have a sticker KB on my bike, a patch on my jacket.. & I've ordered a t-shirt & beanie & another sticker for my car though! :msn-wink:

[The Lone Rider]

Good stuff!

If I recall it was discussed with Spankme when he was down here, as people were saying they had a hard time finding others at some of the rallies

[Rashika]

that'd be difficult, she lives in nelson

yep, but you're easy to find chicky ;) Biggest smile in the place... I remember the sidecar! :whistle:

[The Lone Rider]

Oldrider was there. Where does he live?
Dont think he heard though.. was a rather long table and the discussion was down the other end.

[MyGSXF]

I was there in 'spirit'!! namely.. Kahlua! :lol:


yep, but you're easy to find chicky ;) Biggest smile in the place... I remember the sidecar! :whistle:

yep!! :shutup: like the badge on my leather jacket says: "smile.. it makes people wonder what you're up to.." :shifty:

Am looking forward to catching up with the crew again at Staging Post!!! :Punk: Just had the past week there with my littlest fella.. was a bit weird being there with other "family groups" though..:blink: so have decided it is DEFINATELY better being there with just one big group.. bikers!!!! & having the whole run of the place!!!!!!!!!!! :banana:

[Rashika]

Oldrider was there. Where does he live?

way down south, but he has the luxury of semiretirement? (is it semi OR or full?) and no kids at home.

[The Lone Rider]

no kids at home.

It's great. It really is :D

As I said to someone today, I sleep and work and have no other commitments. The rest of the time is on the road. 4000k in a few months aint bad.

[Bren]

LLama....nice pic of trike....is that u with the chromed knuckles t-shirt?

[oldrider]

way down south, but he has the luxury of semiretirement? (is it semi OR or full?) and no kids at home.

Does this help:

200miles or 330km South of Christchurch=Otematata!

Mrs O/r is retired, with one child at home.

Mr O/r is retired and lives in the care of Mrs O/r. :headbang: Guess who is in charge? :confused: John.

[Rashika]

yeah that'd be right! :clap:

I can get a banner made cheaply (I hope!) thru work contacts. If Spank sends me a hi rez KB logo image I'll see to it when I'm feeling a wee bit more financial. Cheers, TG.

So you'll be at the Magpie Madness then??

[The Lone Rider]

It also came up who should hang onto to the banner, as some people go here and others there and sometimes everyone at the same place!

But I might be interested in getting an KB unrelated one made up


So you'll be at the Magpie Madness then??

As a group we havent discussed if we go to Magpie or Burt, but it wouldnt surprise me if some go one place and others to another.

[The Lone Rider]

LLama....nice pic of trike....is that u with the chromed knuckles t-shirt?

No, that was dmouse standing next to his award winner.

Congrads for winning best custom in show!

Apparently I won a prize as well, but I wasn't there to claim it!! I think it was a spot prize.

I'll be putting more photos of CK goings on at that rally on our website. You know.. just silly ones of us posing and laughing :P

[NighthawkNZ]

I be going to the Magpie and Xaria was going to go to the Burt but has sorta changed her mind to go the Magpie

[Ghost_Bullet]

Another good xcuse to get out for a run. A tootle:scooter: round the Summit road to the site.
A good turn out, and as said before, good price's. :first:
Wind blasted through at some stages, but did not detract from the event.
Daylight saving sure had me buggered by the end of Sunday night.:zzzz:

Really enjoyed chillin out at Ruapuna to see the buckets tearing up the track on the way home.:woohoo:

Took a few pictures to share... webbyshotty'd again.

Now looking forward to the run up to Nelson, awesome road's, spot on part of the country, and a suitably wicked venue for a chill out weekend rally:sunny:

[Rashika]

I be going to the Magpie and Xaria was going to go to the Burt but has sorta changed her mind to go the Magpie
Excellant to hear! That'll be a nice hike for her :Punk:

[NighthawkNZ]

Leaving Dunedin on the Friday 09:30ish with Xaria we went north to Palmerston (for a quick pit stop... and I forgot to take the lead and take Xaria through trotters gorge :doh:) anyway then on to Oamaru where we had a bit to eat. Xaria then headed back to Dunedin while I headed north to Timaru for fuel.

Heading off again to Temuka and Winchester and turning off on to 72 to come up the middle. Stopping in Geraldine to visit a friend and a coffee... Though they were just going out so no coffee. Bugger, decided to go to Methven for coffee instead and did the full pit stop and fuel, coffee, little biker room. :baby: Then head off again turning off a onto a couple of roads just to see what was down them, finding out that there was nothing and turning back... :doh:

Down and into the Rikia Gorge at a slightly increased rate of knots, over the two bridges and then not turning right and going straight ahead up the hill getting half way up before I realised... :doh: go the other right...the other other right... turning back and the starting again :baby: Shooting up the other side again (2nd attemped) at a slightly accelarated rate of knots came to the first tight 35-45km left corner... ferk still doing ummm a extra few knots down a few gears throwing the anchors out, full inverse steering getting round at 110-120 :doh: and only going ever so slightly wide... I must remember that for next time... 109 good ... 110 bad for this corner. Up through the rest of the short gorge uneventfull though at an increased speed than the recommended sign posted speed for the corners... as one does...

On into ChCh to Mr S place using the GPS Co-Ordinates to guide me and found his place with no issue other than once I found the road, following it all of a sudden I found I was on another road WTF... We went out for dinner and a few drinks which not to bad, though we had to wait an aweful long time for a table. Back at Mr S went watch Die Hard 4 and it was pretty cheesy.

Next morning was up bright and early... and I mean early was a 7am. having a couple of coffee's and repacked gear but leaving the packs in the garage we went tround to Lemans place to see the dogs... while we were there we redesigned the place and made the command decision for him what he should do with his renovating :)

With Rick in tow we then went to the big smoke of Rangiora to to pick up Ghost Bullet, and had subway for lunch then back to Mr S to meet every one else.

Packing the Bike, Topping the hydropack we were off to go through the tunnel to show off the debaffled Ducati's. Through Lyttelton setting off a car alarm I could see Mr S's smile saying mission accomplished. Up and over the Sumitt Road stopping a bit up so Mr S could fine tune suspension. While we were stopped Lemans and SDU kept going. I must admit the sumit road could be a fun road if it was in better condition, less cyclists, no buses wtf, and less grit but still had fun.

On out to the site and wondering why Mr S was slowing me down through a nice sweeper... but he having the lead saw the sign for the site... :doh: The rally... was well a rally, all the usual going ons that go on at a rally. The prices were really good...

Next morning up early as GB and Mr S were going out to the track day I did um and ah whether to go for a looksy... deciding to go home as I was meeting Xaria in Palmerston I shot down State Highway 1 :Boring: :zzzz:

Overal a good weekend with friends and had a lot of fun. Thank you to Mr S and Mrs S for their hospitality.

[laRIKin]

Good to catch up again D.
Nice but slow ride around the hills as SDU was sore and out of practise and hates hills even driving a car.

I will turn up to the Magpie and so will SDU if she is not working.
Not sure at this point if we or I are staying the night.

Now after hearing the Ducks pipes I have opened up mine moded the tubes in there and welded polished and put the bike back together.
SDU says it sounds nice with out being noisy. :wari:

Video and photos now up

[SDU]

We went out for dinner and a few drinks which not to bad, though we had to wait an aweful long time for a table.

Yeah it was ages but the food was pretty good--but then any food is if you don't have to cook it.
It was good to catch up with you all


we went tround to Lemans place to see the dogs... while we were there we redesigned the place and made the command decision for him what he should do with his renovating :)
Aw shit I'm really worried now- I just want the bathroom & hall finished first.


While we were stopped Lemans and SDU kept going. I must admit the sumit road could be a fun road if it was in better condition, less cyclists, no buses wtf, and less grit but still had fun.
You now know why...

I don't hate hills- but I hate that road-
I think the couple of times I have done it now it is always gusty, a bus has just about pushed me off the edge & the amount of idiots who use my side of the road to come around the corner just makes me really paranoid.
I'm a hill nana anyway. Yet on the back I use to push you to go faster all the time around the hills.
So thanks guys for waiting for us at Gebbies & Lemans for crawling around so I can follow

Yeah the food was okay and was good to catch up...

Well, in our resructuring and designing I am sure there was a bathroom and hall there somewhere... :scratch:


You now know why...

It wasn't too bad... but just could be better... and I do suppose its a confidance thing.

Tell you the honest truth I didn't notice the wind much, one of the advantages of a faired bike I suppose... you only really notice it on a direct side swipe...

I can understand the idots that use your side of the road, and being paranoid about it... but at the end of the day there isn't alot you can do about it, so enjoy the ride the best you can. and practise the "Oh F#*@" stops and or manouvers.

Coming round one of the last corners I hit a bit of grit (Well a rather large patch actually) and a cage slightly cutting the corner and me nearly going slightly wide sliding on the grit... it was a "Oh... F#*@..." moment if I had slammed on the archors I would have just skidded and hit the cage... If did any sudden movements in steering the bike would have either skidded and hit the car or the front going out from under me and slidding and hitting the car... I didn't like any of those options...

What I did do was the line I had picked was very close to where the cage was, and I only made a slight alteration and deceleration in speed missed the cage... but I could see the the driver of the cage nearly shat his pants... and somehow I think he won't be cutting corners again in a hurry... I would have missed the cage by mere centermetres... :sweatdrop
