Departing 10.30am



Summer is here, and its time for a:woohoo: 250 ride!:woohoo: We are going to meet at botony BP at 10am for a 10.30 sharp depart!:Punk:

The ride is out to the bay just around from kawakawa bay - kauiroa or somthing. It is about 170km round trip - 1 tank of gas.

All speeds are welcome, how ever dangerous riding is not. I want to organise this mainly for 250 riders and will stick to the speed limit and make sure no one gets left behind, however if you want to go fast your welcome, we will have the "fast as you want" group to go ahead and clear the cops for us, remember if you get caught hold up the cop as long as possiable so no one else can get a ticket ;):headbang::woohoo:

Anyone can come on the ride as long as your confident at 100km/hr and as for racers, more than welcome, just don't do anything stupid.

This is my first ride ive organised so feel free to ask any questions on how its going to be run - im sure to of forgotten somthing.

Can somone please confirm where the fish and chip shop is? Ive been there a few times but always for get the name.


I will post up a map of the route later on.

:headbang:Ride safe guys.:headbang:

Travelled that stretch of road last Sat and there has been considerable patch working done to it. Most of the loose gravel had been swept away but still a bit dodgie.

Should be alright if sticking to speed limits but conveniently many of these patches were just before corners i.e. when you're hard on the picks.

[breakaway]

Auto signup - sweet :D

yes there was a tiny bit of gravel - road works finished along time ago and i didnt see any danger in it.


Remember this is a 250 cruise anyone who wants to go fast takes the responsability that goes with it.

I was out there last sat too. Was awesome.

[Gwinch]

Yuuuuuuuuup.

[Ice_Monsta]

My brother that works at Harrison Grierson has been talking to some one there about this ride? I'm not sure if i'll be up to standard to ride in formation etc...i still tend to use a lot of the lane when cornering...I will probably give this ride a miss for now, but keen to come out after my exams (so end of November)

[kave]

I'm definately keen to meet some fellow two-fifty riders, if its not looking like torrential rain I'll tag along.

riding in formation is for straights, if everyone is going through twisties you go single file and more spaced out otherwise you would screw up your line.

[Maverick]

Hopefully my new toy will arrive by then so I can bring it out for a spin :cool:

hey bro, I work with Greg, would be awesome if you could come along, it will help your riding heaps - get pointers etc etc, pace is going to be legal limit, and i'll make sure you don't get left behind etc.

also, let Greg ride your bike more often ;)

[discotex]

Count me in assuming I can get my helmet on. Getting all my wisdom teeth out on the 5th and I've been told to expect plenty of swelling.

[0arbreaka]

I should be up for it, get my new toy soon so I'll be up for it. Can anyone asure us that SkidMark wont be coming?? I know he dosent have a license but knowing him he wont care.

[breakaway]

13 More days, can't wait :D

[Chickadee]

Probably my last ride in Aucks

Well probably will be my last ride (if I can make it). McJim will be in Invervegas setting up camp for the family before we go at the end of the month, he'll be back at the end to help box/container all our gear up and then hi-ho tonto away.

Mums coming up that week so hopefully she won't mind watching our fella's that day so I can have one final blast on the Frog before we leave Aucks. Ah now - here's hoping for awesome weather on the 13th!

I havnt seen skidmark, he owes me $30 - can u pm me his cell number.

Do you want him specfically not to come? I don't mind riding with him TBH, and he wou'd go in the "fast" group - i'd keep him away from the new riders.

hey ive a good idea, if u sell you bike and the guy wants to haggle on price say "i'll knock 200 off the price if you want the standed exhaust" then i will give you 200 for that sexy can you have :D :D :D :D




13 More days, can't wait :D

[Aa7]

Hahaha yeah or get a flip-top lid. A week should be ok tho :)

hahah nah you should use the HTFU pills and sit on the fine line between the pain and pleasure ;)

after a week of healing as long as there are no problems with the surgery :doctor: you should be able to do almost everything as you did previously. HTFU!!!!!!!! ;)

I hope so! I'll be pissed if I miss the ride because of complications. I figure they'll be giving me a bunch of HTFU pills to keep the pain away so should be all good. Can't wait to have these freakin teeth out.

[The Pastor]

ok, well i was just going to remind everyone that this ride isnt a race / fast / medium ride its more of a cruise / learner friendly ride.


however!!!! there will be a fast group who will go on ahead, but plz remember not to 'race' anyone or ride out side of your skill level.

[pyrocam]

yeah its going to be awesome, is there anyway to send a pm to everyone on the list real easy?

you can send up to 5 at a time,
use notepad or something to group them with a , inbetween the names.

take you 2 mins

[Maverick]

actually there is a timer between each pm you can send, I think it is 1 minute. so 25 people = 5 pms, = minimum of 5 minutes. QED.

[CamT]

Took a ride that way today, roads are all good from whitford thru to miranda (overshot the takeaways). Some minor patch work in places, didn't feel any loose gravel. As for the takeaways, little bit on the grasey side. Shouldn't really complain tho filled the empty pit! All up loop from botany -> kaiaua -> maramarua -> botany, around 160Km. Going to have a look at the option of coming back via hunua next time.

[Kiwifire72]

What is the route from the fish shop on????
along the straights to Waitak or up thru the windies to mangatangi and out to sh2 then??????

Darn, have to pick me Mum up from Da airport on Saturday - which is great but I'd rather be riding.

Pending my domestic commitments I plan on bringing out the GN for some fun in the sun.
You'll be in good company doing 80 up the hills.

[Donor]

Alas, I will have to withdraw from the ride.

I'm on standby to go flying, and need to be able to respond to AIA in 60 minutes.

Sorry folks... blame work! :mad:

[breakaway]

In that case can I be TEC, just want an easy cruise.

[breakaway]

Shouldn't the TEC have a resonably fast bike though? Just in case? :p

[EJK]

You know you want to go fast lol
You know you want to! ;):shifty:

[Maverick]

TEC is a very serious responsibility.

Qualities I look for in a TEC. (not in order)
1) sensible and responsible
2) patient
3) knows the route
4) first aid trained to some level (donor works for St Johns, hence why I use his nana-ness a lot)
5) Can keep a level head and act accordingly in an emergency.

When I organise a ride, TEC is not about being "the slowest rider", its about being the rider I trust to be first on the scene and hold things together if the unthinkable happens.

My 2 cents. :cool:

[pyrocam]

Tail End Charlie is a very serious responsibility.


good post

[The Pastor]

TEC is sorted guys.

[Kiwifire72]

TEC is sorted guys.
Yeah TY Guys for allowing me to take this reasponiblity of Tec for the day

:Oi: What are you doing here? You are supposed to be full time in the garage resparking Daisy :spanking:

You seem to be taking your responsibilities very lightly. Remember , guardianship of a two smoker is a serious matter. "A two stroke is for life, not just a ride". You are but the guardian, your duty is to pass the two smoker on to the next generation. Remember, there will never be any more them.

The longer you neglect her the more she will sulk, and in time your relationship will become irreparably damaged.

So out you go, right away, and report back on progress. The eyes of the world are upon you.

Still recovering from my accident mate, hope to join everyone in November. My replacement gpx with 0kms is waiting for me at the shop. Can't wait to get back on the bike eh soooo keen, it'll be 3 months total being separated from my favourite two wheeled vehicle. Just reading about these summer rides fills me with envy.. Oh well

[pyrocam]

Hey guys sounds like a good ride. I mite come up from Hams. Whats the easiest way to find my way to the BP of the motorway???? :niceone:



from Auckland

Take the Southern Motorway (SH1) south

Take the 'Mt Wellington/Sylvia park' offramp, turn left onto South Eastern Highway.

Go past Sylvia park on the South Eastern Highway

Follow South Eastern Highway till you get to the end (T junction) turn right onto Ti Rakau Dr

Follow Ti Rakau Dr till you get to the end (T junction) here is the BP


So from the south, take the Manukau off ramp onto Gt south rd
turn right onth Gt South road and go along until you get to Cavendish
turn right onto Cavendish (first major intersection)

follow that for donkey's until you get to Ti Rakau, turn right, next intersection is the BP.

Have fun guys.. No really do enjoy. Hehe




Still recovering from my accident mate, hope to join everyone in November. My replacement gpx with 0kms is waiting for me at the shop. Can't wait to get back on the bike eh soooo keen, it'll be 3 months total being separated from my favourite two wheeled vehicle. Just reading about these summer rides fills me with envy.. Oh well

The "Previous 12-hr Precipitation Rate" is their prediction for rain in the ocean. They declassify them for the public once the model is 12 hours old. The times are all in GMT so you need to add 13 hours to get NZ time.

It's not 100% accurate but it's usually way more accurate than any other long range forecast.

[obstacle]

any update on the guy/gal who fell over stationary with their bike back in whitford when we first left? who was it ? and how are they?


I'm changing my name to retard. The first mistake I made was to think to stop for a friend who had also stopped, the second mistake was trying to end said stop on the verge of the road where it's just gravel on a 45 degree slope. My mind said "slowing, slowing, stopping, stopping, what?!!??!!! why am i on the ground?" :doh: Luckily the hornet came with oggy knobs and they worked a treat.

At least I assume you're talking about me, i didn't hear of any others falling. Luckily my bike is in such a state of disrepair that when the chain came off it was stretched enough to just wind straight back on.

Other than that, thanks to all for a cool day. That scenery is amazing along the coast line there.

[0arbreaka]

Well that was an "interesting" ride, managed to get to the sh2 kaiaua intersecton when I got a puncture on the rear tyre. So Renegade Master, Indian Jones, Magua and I sat on the side of the road for about 2 and half hours for someone to turn up with a puncture repair kit, when Jafar turned up we spent a while trying to find the puncture and then sent Renegade over to the servo to pick up one of those canisters of liquid rubber. We managed to put the stuff into the tyre and got to the servo and spent a while waiting for it to set, after it had set we set off home. I was nanaaing it under 100 trying to keep the tyre from deflating, and managed to get home just now.
Thanks heaps to Indy, Renegade, Magua(i think thats you) and Jafar.
I owe your guys some beers.

Moral of the story; dont do a burnout on shit tyres.:doh:

[The Pastor]

and the moral of the story is, dont do burnouts!!!


thanks everyone for coming on the ride, im glad you had a good time.

Bwahahahaha... oh I can't wait to get to work next week...

Well I guess I learnt that the hard way, O well, I wont be doing burnouts in the future, tyres are expensive:crybaby:

[pyrocam]

next time, txt me, I have the mean puncture repair kit in my "boot"

apparently we went different ways this time though

my fav time was up through the hunua's

Dry roads
good corners
noone infront of me with their indicator on :p

awesome

[discotex]

The first mistake I made was to think to stop for a friend who had also stopped

Yeah sorry I tried to wave you on cause I was sweet. Was a bugger you missed it.

Fuckin pillion seat latch grrr. Thanks to the dude on the green ZXR for pointing out it was loose and thanks for the tape Carbacca and Mr TEC (sorry forgot your name). Now to find some replacement springs for the latch mechanism.


the second mistake was trying to end said stop on the verge of the road where it's just gravel on a 45 degree slope.

Yeah that was the real mistake but shit happens eh.. Better a sub 5km/h drop to get it over and done with without any damage to rider or ride.


Thanks RM for getting us all off our butts and out there.

[0arbreaka]

I think the important question is, whens the next one? Ill have new tyres by then...

[jafar]

Lessons? Well errm.... "Don't eat Kitkat Crunchy Caramel while riding. Caramel sticks inside the helmet!" :lol:

[breakaway]

Best part of the day was the ride back with carbacca, babyblade, EJ, guy on ZXR, pyrocam, and that other dude (Sorry forgot your name, I rode with ya right till the end until I turned off on Mays Rd).

That was awesome. Especially EJ's wheelie, very impressive. I nearly went for a wee slide when I misjudged the corner, but I put my foot down and motocrossed my way out of it.

[howdamnhard]

Sorry couldn't make it in time,thats why I took my name off the list.Finished work at 14:00 and went for the scenic route via Kawakawa Bay.Nice dry roads,was a little rusty at first but loosened up in the end.Saw lots of other bikers and gave them the wave.Altogether a good day,hopefully will be able to come on a group ride one of these days.

sweet ride yesterday guys :niceone:

was great to follow someone who knew the way out there (cheers Maverick) and also thanks to Carbacca and the others for the ride home and showing the other way round too!

It could of been fun with all five of us lined up near botany if that bike cop hadn't been sitting there. What with EJ the Scorpio stunt pilot trying out for Randy Campbells movie roles. The Scorpio dared me aye EJ ;) wonder if Randy eats caramel kit kats in his rocket car at 100kph

[Bigsexy]

:innocent: It sounds like I missed out on alot of fun:weep: haha. Flying cellphones:shit::shit:Wheelies:woohoo::woohoo:.I couldnt make it cause my car got towed the night before I couldnt get it the same night cause I was accused of trying to ram the gate to get me car out?? 260$ later I owned what was allready mine again.<_< F*** wit Towdriver.(Off Topic)
Any who It got to atleast 12:00 before I was at Takanini, I tryed my hardest to catch you guys... even doing a bit of sliding the ass into the corner Moto Gp riding wasnt fast enough.
I dit stop in at the fish and chips shop for a drink...Did you all see the huge Bull Dogs??:love: I would have taken them home if nobody claimed them.
Some riders were there when I arrived but I didnt see any familiar faces, so me being shy I carried on riding:innocent:

If you were there I was the rider that pulled in the car park reving the hell out of a black and purple Kawasaki...I WAS :Pokey: haha

[Ice_Monsta]

I enjoyed the ride :-P thanks for the bunch on the way back for not ditching me until the motorway...made me feel a little better about the speeds my bike does haha.

Anyone notice my L plate? it's been flicking up and rubbing on my back tyre so it has a massive tyre shape melted out of the plastic right up to the letter very nice :D

I might have to wait for a ride that has more GN's and Scorpio's on it before i venture out again...i end up stuck too far behind the main group to see them, and too far ahead of the tail end to see them either.... bah! i want a faster biiiiiiiike

Scorpio? Don't equalize Scorpios with GNs! lol
just kidding ;)

Hey, Thats how I felt about a month ago but after admitting that my bike is slow, the pressure just disappeared. Come on, they are same 250cc but V-Twins or more :yes:

Next time when thre is a ride, I'll ride with you (Gosh that sounds dodgy so I'll rephrase it) I will follow you :lol:

I too want to ride with more GN's and Scorpios and ofcourse the Mighty SRX :yes: the father of Scorpio :cool:

P.S. There is a guy name "Twinkle" in KB, he is preety much a legend on GN250. There is a rumour that he caught up to a GSX-R600 K7 in the Waitakere Range! Don't under estimate GNs!

Yeah, make it a 250cc single cylinder ride, I'd be keen (I dont know if theres that many of us though).

[EJK]

GNs, FXRs, Scorpios, SRXs, and.... and.... errm.... lol

[EJK]

If you still doesn't feel comfortable on your GN, see this photo :) (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=73090&d=1192325169)

Yes, thats from other thread and he is on GN keeping up a CBR lol

P.S. click the smily :)

Hahaha I thought you were doing damn well on that GN and especially with stock tyres. Obstacle and I weren't ditching you because you were slow - we were stopping for gas at the Bombay BP then heading off in another direction.

Hehe I had exactly the same thing happen with my L plate. My mate at work thought I'd cut it out to fit. Wasn't long before it snapped off and I left it that way till I got my restricted.

Re the bunching, doesn't really matter what you do that can happen. Anything over 5 bikes and it's hard to keep in touch with cars and twisties and shit.

If you really want a faster bike mine will be up for sale in 6 weeks assuming I pass my full first go. Check out my profile pic :)
