The Cruisy Wednesday Night Ride 2007/08

[Nasty]

The Cruisy Wednesday Night Ride.

Yes folks it's on again this Wednesday - Weather permitting.
Departing 6:30 at the southern end of Avalon park by the duck/elephant pond.
(Turn off the Hutt motorway and onto the Kennedy Good bridge, the carpark is 100metres past the end of the bridge, on your left hand side)

Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...UTF8&z=16&om=0

First ride for the season: Wednesday 13th September, 2006.

Please Note: This ride is arranged in order to provide a local social riding event for the local KB riders that are riding the smaller CC bikes and that generally prefer slower paced rides.
This event works well by having the group remain as a group when in transit and by travelling at predominantly road legal speeds.
All KB riders and friends are welcome to attend this ride. However, should you struggle to maintain the groups easy going pace, we ask that you be considerate and stick with it for this is a learner/introductory riders group event.

These rides generally consist of a group ride with a purpose - A pitstop at a pub! Pub destinations previously ranged from Featherston, Wellington city, Karori, Trentham, Paremata and Paekakariki.

All first timers are welcome. So feel free to tag along for an enjoyable social event.

Destination will be determined by the group on the day.
If the weather looks dodgey on any given Wednesday, tune in to the site for the group decision of do or die. See you there!

The Sacrificing of Virgins has been cancelled.

The only virgins in existence are too young to reach the rear footpegs and therefore can't legally be transported to the top of the Takas.

Well that is the first Wednesday after the daylight savings .. sooo it looks good ... diary it yeah???

[Lissa]

The Sacrificing of Virgins has been cancelled. Thank god for that, was scared I was going to get 'sacrificed' you know seeing as I am a virgin and all ;)


YAY, I cant WAIT!!!!! Although I am still confused. Let me know if the first ride is for pizza ok! :D Doug will be a good chance for you to look at my bike.

[Bullitt]

Ill be there. Pizza or not is no problem for me, couldnt even tell you where Carterton is:blink:

[hsvboy06]

Let me know if the first ride is for pizza ok!What makes you think we'll ever reach a decision...? :laugh:

I'm with Bullitt - I'll (try to) be there no matter where we're going.

[Ocean1]

I'd vote for Pizza in Carterton, ('cause I'm a gannet) but if anyone on the day doesn't want to go that far or deal with the hill at night I'm happy to stick with a smaller group going elsewhere. As long as I get fed.

[Wannabiker]

Well I hope to be a starter on this, and hopefully its heading north so I can just wait at the front gate for you guys and gals to come by. It will be the first leg on the big road trip to Auckland, so the Duczilla will be loaded up with the new touring luggage I bought the other day. Will push on to Palmy afterwards though.

[Hawkeye]

Thank god for that, was scared I was going to get 'sacrificed' you know seeing as I am a virgin and all ;)




:rofl:
(Sorry Lissa, the temptation was just too much to resist)

Have you finally got that bike of yours sorted now?

[Lissa]

:rofl: (Sorry Lissa, the temptation was just much to resist)

Yep bikes all sorted out now. Really looking forward to this :)

[Wasp]

Doug will be a good chance for you to look at my bike.
sorry, i've been given 3 more weeks off work - 6 weeks from accident till partial set, 8 weeks till full set :(

i cbf working out what date that makes it

[Colapop]

I'm confused... is there a ride tomorrow? I got a bike that's back on the road...

[chanceyy]

I'm confused... is there a ride tomorrow? I got a bike that's back on the road...

wooo hoooo congrats Col .. am heading down welly way to met someone ;) be a fleeting visit though :whistle: ... only cause I dislike the city & wanna escape back to the country :yes:

[Hitcher]

I'm confused... is there a ride tomorrow? I got a bike that's back on the road...

Me too! 10 chars.

[Ocean1]

Believe the official start is 3rd Oct.

Shadows and I did trundle out Pauahatanui/Mana/Pauahatanui/Mana(beer)/Pauahatanui/Home last week. Can't see any reason not to indulge in another unofficial pre-season trundle tomorrow, weather/company permitting... http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/weather/?zip=NZXX0049

[Grub]

I'm confused... is there a ride tomorrow? I got a bike that's back on the road...

Nasty here - Don't see why not :)

[Lissa]

If you guys decide to head over to feathers (I know you only make up your mind at the pond) can some one txt me... nasty has my cell phone number. I might meet you there and have a few.....chips. Cheers Melissa (will we have to talk all pirate like? :confused:)

[Wasp]

Believe the official start is 3rd Oct.
Cool, my 6 weeks is up on the 7th.... 4 days late......

[Hitcher]

A "practice" night tonight? I'll be going for a ride anyway, so will swing by the Elephant pond shortly after 6ish.

[Nasty]

Am starting to feel the pull here as well .... hmmm ... might skip dinner and go riding instead :)

[Freakshow]

Oh how much I want to go for a ride but I think it is maintance night so that we are all go for 3/10/07 and the rest of summer

[Trudes]

I suppose I'd better take my hubby out for a slap-up dinner somewhere, so won't be out riding tonight, looks like a nice afternoon for a ride though, so have fun everyone!!

[Ocean1]

Working on it, should make it if I pull finger.

[Hawkeye]

I can't make it tonight. Got to go classes with this little lady ...

[Grub]

I suppose I'd better take my hubby out for a slap-up dinner somewhere, so won't be out riding tonight, looks like a nice afternoon for a ride though, so have fun everyone!!

Well Trudes, on this special day I'd think you'd make an effort to do something a bit special and with a bit of class. Something like taking him out with KBers to a pub for a shandy and wedges. Simply everyone goes to Logan Brown darlink but they can't go where we go in style at all.

[Grub]

The weather's way too good to pass up on a ride ... I'm in, see you at 6.

Anyone else riding down from Kapiti? Mobil at the Lights at 5.15?

[Hitcher]

Seven bikes tonight -- and oh what a cracking evening it was to be out on a motorcycle: No wind, warm, stars, half a moon and a flock of sheep. The Secret Seven rode the Wainui coast road and returned to the pleasant hostelry that is the Fireman's Arms in Petone. Good company, great food and a doddery old fart with Tourettes Syndrome (who wasn't a motorcyclist). If he's there next time we'll get him his own KB logon. He agrees that the fucken fuckers have fucked it and the fucken place has gone to the fucken dogs. And he has some interesting theories on other matters of national fucken importance.

[Nasty]

.... The Secret Seven rode the Wainui coast road and returned to the pleasant hostelry that is the Fireman's Arms in Petone. Good company, great food and a doddery old fart with Tourettes Syndrome (who wasn't a motorcyclist). ....

I thought he was with you Hitcher .... oh well .. what a great night ... well designed ride for night riding ... for the night blind it was challenging .. but hey if nothing else I also tried riding my touch ... to get to the top of wainui hill and look out across the hutt and wellington always takes my breath away ... just amazing ... as Hitcher said .. good food, good company and a great rumbling of fuck this in the background .... great evening all now off to bed!

[RantyDave]

The Secret Seven rode the Wainui coast road and returned to the pleasant hostelry that is the Fireman's Arms in Petone.
Ah! Gutted! I was half thinking about it when leaving work, too.

D'oh!

Dave

[Grub]

T'was a night to remember indeed. Out on the south coast it was so still and quiet. We found a new venue too ... most excellent food and the entertainment was like nothing you'd find anywhere else. Hitcher, Buckbuck, Ocean1, Nasty, Grub, KarmakillerNZ and Weaver was a great group and I was so impressed with the two L-platers (Hyosung mounted) who had all the right and expensive gear. Way to go guys.

[Kendog]

Was good to catch up with those I saw at the pond.

Was a great afternoon to ride the bike, I should skip work early more often :D

[karmakillernz]

Yep, it was a great night alright. The Wainui coast was beautiful tonight - eerily quiet and still. Stayed for a short while and watched the planes come and go. Great choice for a destination.

It was also my first time out on the bike at night so it was a whole new experience... very exciting! It's a whole different ballgame at night. I'm looking forward to more like it.

And thanks to Nasty and Grub for escorting me half way home. :niceone:

Oh, and that old fellow at the Fireman's Arms was a hoot. Knew every swear word in the book and had an opinion about everything. He'd fit right in here on KB... :dodge:

[Grub]

Was a great afternoon to ride the bike, I should skip work early more often :D

... and stop having birthdays!

[Dodger]

Aaght!,
I really must get out on some of these Wed night rides :weep:

Fireman's Arms is great for food, especially the Pizza :)
What time did everything finish up?

*maybe* next week..

[Colapop]

I didn't get there - AGAIN!! Can someone stop the world? I want to get off (the world that is ... not.... )

[Grub]

What time did everything finish up?..

We packed out of the Fireman's at 21:10 because Karmakillernz and Weaver are on curfews. KkNz had to go all the way to Kapiti so it was a good call and it was about the right time anyways. What time did you get home KarmaK?

I'm sorry, but you probably wouldn't have been allowed. We already had a Yellow (and a Black) Hyosung ... could you swap yours for red perhaps?

[Dodger]

I'm sorry, but you probably wouldn't have been allowed. We already had a Yellow (and a Black) Hyosung ... could you swap yours for red perhaps?

I'm sure mine would be fine, it doesn't have all that extra plastic stuck to the sides :)

[Grub]

Ok .... you're in :)

[Ocean1]

a doddery old fart with Tourettes Syndrome (who wasn't a motorcyclist). If he's there next time we'll get him his own KB logon. He agrees that the fucken fuckers have fucked it and the fucken place has gone to the fucken dogs. And he has some interesting theories on other matters of national fucken importance.

He was wonderful, the world has nowhere near enough lunatics and he made my day. I can think of nothing better to do with my dotage than lurking in my local bar haranguing all in sundry like some resident insane prophet. Shades of “Several species of small furry animals etc”. I regret not buying him a beer.

Believe I’ve fucken found my fucken true calling. I’m fucken off to the fucken pub to get some fucken serious fucken practice in eh?

[Cave Cleaner]

Pity I couldn't make it to this ride. I must have eaten something that did wonders to my internals, and I didn't think the vibrations of a bike would help the situation. And I'm way past wearing nappies.....:baby::baby:

[karmakillernz]

What time did you get home KarmaK?
Believe it or not, I pulled into my driveway just as the clock on my bike clicked over to 10pm. Doesn't get any closer than that... ;)

[Bullitt]

Didnt end up finishing work till 5.30 so by the time I got home I didnt have a chance to make it to Lower Hutt. Will make the first official one though.

[dazz]

ill have 2 make an aperance on the wednesday, any idea how i can find the thursday night ride link?

So I take it, that the first offical wedensday night ride is this coming wedensday?

[Bullitt]

Yup

10 chars

[Weaver]

wtf does 10 chars mean

[Bullitt]

it wont let you post unless theres a minimum of 10 characters in a post. Therefore you cant just say "yup"

[Grub]

So I take it, that the first offical wedensday night ride is this coming wedensday?

Yes it is ... and if you read back a bit I think you'll find that we're off to Carterton for a pizza. That's further than we usually go ... but it IS a special occasion.

[Hawkeye]

Will try and make an appearance Wed as I need a fix. Haven't been out for a group ride for ages. Been a bit busy with the house!

[Lissa]

Yay looking forward to Wednesday guys. If its fine will meet you on top of the hill with Elle! :woohoo:

[Trudes]

I'm hoping I will have Wednesday off work, in which case I'll be there with bells on, (well, helmet and leathers at least). Looking forward to going on at least one CWNR this year!!!:rolleyes:

[sels1]

I prolly wont be able to make tcwnr until Dec so will catch you all then.

[ajturbo]

dam i hope you remind me matey!:girlfight:

[KoroJ]

I thought you'd have lots of mates that would be happy to bring you Sels?

[Lissa]

Weather doesnt look too great :( Got me fingers crossed though!!

[Bullitt]

Agreed, I dont mind riding in the rain if I have to but I try not to make a habit of it.

Must go put my fairings back on so im ready...

[Grub]

It's a while now since we got all excited about tracking Carterton way to Elle's Pizzeria for a snack and chat ... does it look like the weather's going to put a dampener on that?

I know Nasty's not keen on the hill in a) Rain and b) Lotsa wind. I'd like to go for the occcasion, but any wind over about 80kmh would have me thinking about it

[Nasty]

6 pm for a 6.30 departure .... sounds good .... I have Elles cell if we are heading that way ... so can pre-warn her ...

[Lissa]

I will get in touch with elle today as well, as we both might go as far as feathers to meet you guys. Weather isnt too flash this morning, raining and windy... but you never know it might clear up. (well I am hoping) Will check this thread after work and see what you guys are doing.

[Hitcher]

The climate is not looking overly salubrious for an evening jaunt.

[Weaver]

I concur. The weather is god awful in Upper Hutt right now.
But hopefully it'll clear up

[Nasty]

Weather is looking just bad. I don't know that over the hill is too smart ... a nice little jaunt may be called for this week ... cya there.

[elle-f]

Um as much as i love you all - it's not worth coming over the hill to this side today. The weather is as windy as..... The hill would be dangerous I would think.

[Hitcher]

The day has warmed up at least half a degree since the sun has come out. Who knows what it will be like come 6:30pm.

[quallman1234]

I might turn up in my car for a chat at the duckpoad :yawn:

[Grub]

i was going to turn up just for a chat but not go on the ride too but this is my last week in the country for two weeks and tonight may be our last chance to see a very good friend before her birthday on Monday. I would have foregone that for a ride with good people in good weather. One out of two is probably niot going to be compelling enough - much as we love ya all.

That's better that "I have to do my hair"!

[Grub]

What's wrong with my hair!!!!!

[aer0]

was going to come out for a ride and meet a few of you but the weather is not looking nice right now (am in upper hutt at this moment and its raining and windy)

was out at lunchtime on the bike and found it a little windy for my tastes not looking forward to the ride home..
i need a bigger bike!

[sinned]

Tiss cold and windy with a decreasing possibility of rain. A short ride that keeps off the high points sounds okay to me. A little pottle over Heywards, around the inlet and a suburb ride back to the city and a pub would suit me.

Who is going to turn up?

[Lissa]

It was hailing here about an hour ago. A bit of blue sky now, but its pretty darn windy. I say we do the 'Pizza' next week and hope for better weather.... if any of you riding tonight, becareful and have fun. :sunny:

[Trudes]

Well I was gonna say something like 'It's cold, wet, rainy, too dangerous, need to wash my hair, etc, etc", but, those have all been said, so fark it, I hate you all, so I'm staying home.







you all know that's not really true, it's just too yuck outside to ride me thinks. Piss me off too, not often I have a Wednesday off and can actually come. bugger bugger bugger!!

Obviously we need to find somewhere inside to ride ...

We could set up a circuit round the KD's lounge :clap:

[Colapop]

It'll be windy and a bit cold but looks like it's clearing...

[Dreamer]

Wind forecast for Cook Straight:

"Southerly easing to 35 knots this afternoon, to 25 knots this evening, and to 10 knots tonight"

10 knots - perfect!

[Ocean1]

I'll be at the duck pond, if a strategy involving a suitable trundle followed by a hot snack and a cold beer is presented I'm in.

http://www.metservice.co.nz/default/index.php?alias=wnradar

[KoroJ]

Very sunny and still in Khandallah...and there's a Hells Pizza next to the very fine Asian Takeaways.

That'd be a good destination as I won't even have to go home to get the bike. I can just walk across the road.

[Bullitt]

Its still pretty cold but its sunny and not overly windy in the CBD so Ill come along

[wayne708]

Unable to make tonight, but should be good for next week.

[Slingshot]

I'm in, see you all at the duck pond at 6ish.

If you're in Khandallah head to Divine Pizza (http://www.divinepizza.co.nz/) a mate of mine owns it and although he doesn't have a bike at the moment, he is a biker.
Equally as good...if not better than Hell.

I've just got home, so have left my run for a ride tonight a bit late.

The BDOTGNZA has boycotted Divine Pizza because of their sloppy use of English grammar, particularly their desire to wrongly put an apostrophe in pizzas. If they're that sloppy with their communications, what sloppiness do they tolerate in their kitchen? The Brave Defenders are loathe to find out...

[Bullitt]

Was a reasonableish turnout considering the weather and the number of people who said they were pulling out.

About 10 people, 6 of who stayed for the ride.

Good to meet a few new people, see you all next time

[Hitcher]

Stout souls. Respect.

[Grub]

Was a reasonableish turnout considering the weather ...

Where di you go Bullitt ... and how was it?

[Bullitt]

Just over Haywards and to sandbar for awhile.

Didnt seem to be much interest in the takas, which suited me as the slowest rider there:laugh:

[sinned]

Here are pics of the starting line up. Not all made it though. A short ride (blame me for not following orders) and a good start to daylight hours. A group of Harley riders also turned up at the Sandbar.

[Weaver]

We went over the haywards, around the bay (I don't know the name of the road) and then to the "sandbar" in paramata. It was a very good ride. Lots of Harleys at the Sandbar

[RantyDave]

Here are pics of the starting line up.
Oooohhh, is that your speed trifle? I have a major soft spot for them and that one's lush.

I like the 'new style' microfairing too.

Nice :)

Dave

[Grub]

We went over the haywards, around the bay (I don't know the name of the road)

If you went around the south side of Pauatahanui Inlet, that was SH58 (cool road) if it was around the north side it was Grays Road (cool road too).

[Slingshot]

It was farken cold so I went home to warm up.

[quallman1234]

It was farken cold so I went home to warm up.

Ya pussy!
I was hoping it would rain so i could laugh at you in the wet leathers. :headbang::woohoo:.

Just kidding.

Nice to see some people.

Now to find my bike :Offtopic::Police:

[Ocean1]

Sorry to have buggered off early guys. Looking forward to some long summer nights later in the year.

Remind me to adjust my bloody headlights before next time though eh?

[Shadows]

Remind me to adjust my bloody headlights before next time though eh?

Hey, make sure you adjust those bloody headlights eh?

[aer0]

will try my best to come down next week

[aer0]

tomorrow night... ?

[Bullitt]

I wont be there this week. Have a conference for work thatll go too late.

[Weaver]

I wont be able to make it as well. Wont be finishing work till 7 o'clock.
I'll make the next weeks one though

[aer0]

weather is rather shite in upper hutt at the moment, dont think ill be going out if it stays this way

So did anybody get together for a ride.
I was riding home from work in Lower hutt at around 8pm. The rain was pretty bad. Saw a couple of other riders in Upper hutt mind

[Hitcher]

I didn't get home from work until 6:15pm. Thank god!

[Ocean1]

:confused: Nobody saved me Pizza? :no:

[Shadows]

I didn't get home from work until 6:15pm. Thank god!

You had quarter of an hour to get down there then you slacker.

[aer0]

i rode home just after 5 and was soaked, didnt feel like getting back out in it after that

[RantyDave]

BUMP!

So, if the weather's fine are we good to go? Pizza, or did I miss it?

Dave

[Bullitt]

Doesn't look like many (any?) made it last week.

As long as the weather is good Ill try be there. Maybe thats asking alot given how rubbish it has been latley though.

[RantyDave]

Stuff says "Rain clearing and gale northwesterly easing". So, it might not suck. For a change.

Dave

[Terminated]

Will be there.:2thumbsup

[Freakshow]

Right if stays like this or gets better I think I will shake the cobb webs and get out there!

I saw you lucky buggers (separately) heading off for the ride,(My god Wasp, that exhaust is LOUD!!!!) while I was still at work, wishing I was going too, getting pissy about having to work till 6:30 every day...... *sob*:crybaby:
Hope you'll had a great ride!!:cool:

Yeah where you stuck this evening.

great ride guys, it has been to long and i need to remember what to do???

[Terminated]

An enjoyable ride and good to catch up with Hawkeye and chat at the Waterfront Cafe and Bar.

I think it is important to reiterate the observations made tonight:

1. Following distances, and
2. Staggered formation.

Both these topics go hand in glove when on a group ride.

Heads Up and Enjoy

[Bullitt]

,(My god Wasp, that exhaust is LOUD!!!!)
Agreed. It was the only 4 cylinder bike there to rival the v-twins. Does sound good at high revs though.

13 bikes (I think). Plenty of people I hadnt met before so was a good evening.

See you all at the next one

Hey, there were mutterings on Wednesday of a track day on Saturday. Is anyone keen? Is there, like, a meeting up thing happening?

Vic Motorcycle Club are having an open day on Saturday at Manfield. Don't know any further details though. Here is a little info. (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=58142)

[Bullitt]

There was talk of a group ride to the KB track day next weekend.

I would be keen but itll dependent on getting my bike back from some work done next wednesday (wont find out till then ish) and being able to get somewhere to stay.

New thread rather than cluttering up this one?

[unrealone]

myself and steelstring are attending the kb trackday, and are staying at camillia court.. $85 per night for a studio.. not too bad...

[DMNTD]

Will see y'all next Wednesday for a Welly pootle ;)

[Bullitt]

Doubt Ill make it this week as bike will probably still be in the shop. If I get it back Ill be there though.

[Lissa]

If you guys are coming over this way and the wind stays away, I will try and make it to feathers or something... its been far too long. Umm will txt Nasty (if shes going) later on tom night maybe?

[hobdar]

Hope there is room for a noob group rider...............just replaced my FJ1100 with a brand spanking new SV650 naked so keen to take it for a decent blat.............and get into some group riding....

Will check to see if this is happening tomorrow.

[Nasty]

[liamrae]

[Lissa]

Yay. Absolutely no wind over here at all while I type this. It is as still as a really still thing. :crazy: Dont worry I have knocked on wood and spun around ten times, I am 22.3654% sure there is going to be no wind tomorrow. Hope that helps!

The wind is definitely dropping off.

Right off motorway at fairway drive (left is belmont) into lower hutt. its the first right off motorway after the mess that is the melling interchange. Or first traffic lights to the left if you come over the haywards to lower hutt. ride usuallt 40-50kmish maybe

[James Deuce]

Go over the Kennedy Good Bridge. Go to the Avalon Park carpark on the left.

There you are.

[Trudes]

There will be a lovely seat there soon for you all to sit on and remember one of the founders of TCWNR.

[Colapop]

COOL!!! And an unveiling no doubt?

[Trudes]

Yep, planning that for the 2nd Dec, picnic, ride etc.

[Colapop]

Ok I'll stay Shh then!

Very cool Trudi, been looking forward to that :niceone:

[James Deuce]

Wally Simmonds will be rocking along on his GN, so give him a big KB welcome - you know hang back and look all suspicious and don't talk to him.

I was going to come along but my cold has freshened up.

I am in Thorndon leaving around six so will swing past there about 5/10 past.....i will be on the Red SV650.....

[Terminated]

Six of us 'ducked the wind' and went up Blue Mountains Road, through Whitemans Valley out to Te Marua, then back, over Mangaroa Hill and Wallaceville Hill, down the back of Trentham through Silverstream, and into Stokes Valley to the Hardware Cafe and Bar.

On the way into Stokes Valley I lead the way over Holborn Drive and at the bar, I remarked about the Saturday morning riding practice for those interested. Holborn Drive I ride quite frequently, it is good for counter steering practice.

Riding Practice link:
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1366&day=2007-10-27&

Just on an hours ride tonight, and when we left the bar just after 8pm, and well I only had to tootle a kiometre up the road.

*******Trudi good news about the seat and picnic event. Cheers********

Heads Up and Enjoy

Sorry if we missed you! I missed this post beofore I left.

So there were 6 that headed to the hills while another 6 went to the coast. Up over the haywards and 1 and a half laps of the inlet. The gusts in the haywards were entertaining but the inlet was not so bad. Thanks guys for letting me join the ride and get my errans completed. See you next week! Hopefully we can get some more ks done, like over the hill!

Someone promised pizza.

I've been fasting for a month, if'n someone doesn't provide pizza soon I'm gona waste away to a shadow.

Class, great ride. Good to see wally the new guy there too.
Good shit man!

[liamrae]

I'm afraid i chickened out yesterday sorry guys... the wind just picks me up on my FXR and throws me into the oncoming traffic... so i decided not to take the risk. but fingers crossed for next week!

[Wally Simmonds]

Yeah it was awesome. Hadn't been on a ride like that before, it's amazing what you pick up by looking at other riders.

Left my bag at stokes though, got to the Petone turn off and thuoght 'dang' - thankfully it was still at the pub!

[Ocean1]

[Bullitt]

One of these days the weather will be good and we can go over the hill.

Haywards was fun though. Front end felt very skittery after I passed that truck:shit:

Seems I do almost as many ks getting to the duck pond as I have on the rides the last couple of times

[karmakillernz]

One of these days the weather will be good and we can go over the hill.

Yeah, I've missed the last couple of Wednesday rides due to the weather. :( I'm hoping this Wednesday will be nice because I'm itching for a ride (aside from going to work!).

[Colapop]

Tomorrow is Wednesday.. quite possibly a day that could be ridden upon...

Step AWAY from the pizza dude, some of us haven't been fed for weeks, not even a morsel of cake...

[sinned]

Could be on tonight if the wind doesn't get any stronger. Possibility of drizzle in Wellington but fine in the rapa. Is it pizza?

[Kinje]

I'm another starter from the rapa crew. Meet you all at the top of the hill along with Mel.

Remember for those of you who don't know where the duck pond is or are traveling out from town, you can meet us at the the Caltex servo in Kaiwharawhara at 6pm we leave there about 5 past (ish).

Looks like a pearler so 2 thumbs up for Pizza

Yahhhhh!! I am devoid of children to boss about and annoy, I mean care for, this afternoon, so will be there today.:cool:

Should be really fine on a buell, I'm likely to be on a 150 if I can make it... :laugh:

[sinned]

Any room on this ride for a newbie? Will everyone be going fast?

:D
No one should be going fast on this ride.
The fast ones or those who think/know/want to be fast should go first so they aren't pushing or passing newbies or me. I prefer to ride slower than normal while in this group ride and don't like being in a situation (especially on the hill) where I don't know if that rider behind me is happy to follow at this pace, is feeling uncomfortable trying to keep up or wants to pass. Care also needs to made in the decision to pass cages on the hill; unless the vehicle is really slow it is best not to pass as this puts pressure on lesser skilled riders to take risks to keep up. A slower than usual pace for TCWNR suits me fine.

We should discuss this before departure and make for an enjoyable ride.

[Str8 Jacket]

I might just come down on the A and say hi! Wont be riding with you lot though.....

Hi Lissa, Sorry I didn't get over the hill tonight. Went to the top of the hill but had to head back. Didn't have the time available to come all of the way over. :weep: (had to come home to see to the puppy). Next time..:yes:.

[sinned]

Here are some pics. Including one of Ocean1 to match with the Avatar :laugh:

A good night even though I was first to head home. The wind was very strong on the home trip.

Eh? What's the sudden interest in my mug? Indistinguishable from the avatar I'm reliably informed...

[Bullitt]

Best turn out Ive seen so far. 24 bikes I think, with half staying in stokes valley and half heading over the hill.

A couple of hairy moments coming back, just over the summit on the first piece of straight wind hit me like a truck...kept it upright though so lived to fight another day.

And the best news for me was my bike didnt play up at all...unlike in the weekend...

[James Deuce]

That was a superb trip and I'm surprised at how pleasant and accommodating the Tin Hut is now!

Good to see everyone and meet some new people. Lucky old AJturbo got to meet everyone for the first time for the third time! The man's a goldfish!

Especially nice to see DMTD there on his 14. Looks very nice in black. The bike looked quite good in black too.

[Lissa]

Lucky old AJturbo got to meet everyone for the first time for the third time! The man's a goldfish!
So True, I think I have meet him about 5 times now, still asks who I am... hmm maybe its just an old age thing. :shutup: Or I am unforgettable... yea that would be it.

I was surprised it wasnt as windy as I thought it would be, although I never actually went up the hill. Elle wants us to go to her pizza place more in the summer, less wind and more sun. :sunny:

Good night, hopefully I can make the next one, and meet some new peoples.

[Weaver]

Yeah it was definitely a good ride. I always thought the "tin hut" was a bit of a rough and tumble place:laugh:,I wasn't expecting a huge wine list written on the wall.
It was an intersting trip coming back over the hill. That wind was really bad near the top.
I tried to drag Ocean1 off at the lights. I'm sure he was short shifting and still making me look like a twat, lying flat on the tank giving it full noise:laugh:

[Lissa]

Eh? What's the sudden interest in my mug? Indistinguishable from the avatar I'm reliably informed...
Umm for somereason I was expecting a grey haired old man! hehe... sorry.

[Ocean1]

Well, given that I'd stalled the feckin thing twice tonight you stood a reasonable chance dude.


Umm for somereason I was expecting a grey haired old man! hehe... sorry.

Yes? And?

I on the other hand, had already notice last Saturday that you have eyeballs. You just weren't using them at the time.

[Terminated]

Five of us left the Duckpond and rode to Stokes Valley spending 50 minutes non-stop doing some slow bike control routines that included rides u-turns and figure eight turning. Then it was across to Silverstream and up Blue Mountains Road and out passing The Short Straw Cafe to the end of that part of the valley where an emergency braking routine was done.

We returned back down to Silverstream and stopped at the local bar opposite the railway station for refreshment.

Had the weather been more favourable I would have travelled over to Carterton tonight, be that as it may, the evenings ride was enjoyable and those attending commented that it was good to spend some time doing some of the slow control routines. The ride duration in both Stokes Valley and Whitemans Valley was 90 minutes.
I arrived back home in Stokes Valley at 8.35pm

Heads Up and Enjoy

[Trudes]

You wussy Kendogs



I never actually went up the hill.

Had the weather been more favourable I would have travelled over to Carterton tonightWe only got as far as Featherston last night. Glad to see you had a good night though guy.

[Freakshow]

Was a great ride last night.. a few delays along the way, like assisting RWH trying to get his lil pinki into his new gloves I did suggest cutting it off but that didn't go down to well. Then at the botom of the hill a familiar hicup started... running out of gas .... Where the .. is the reserve! ...

I was happy to see that the Tin Hut still has the olives on the counter. Great turn out

[koba]

Hopefully my bike will have forks next week :niceone:

[wayne708]

Yes, was a great ride last night, gentle breezes on the hill made for pleastent riding. Good to catch up with peoples and our guest rider DMNTD. Hope you enjoyed our local track, ah ,I mean ride, and you had a safe trip back to the BoP.
