Waikato rally - Auckers unite

[aff-man]

Right with the countdown to the big even underway and me crossing off the days of the calander. I have been considering how to get to hailton. After thinking long and hard about doing the 22 into hamilton i decided that the 365 odd km after hamilton is enough riding for 1 day. So i will be doing boring old sh1 i suppose and was wondering if anyone would like to join me???

we gotta be gassed up and ready in hamilton by like 9:30 i think so i was hoping to be in hamilton at 9 thus maybe meeting at auto bahn at say 9ish and look to leave at about 8:15. (I will be ridig with CK and his missus and he is noutoriuosly (spelling) late :whistle: :blink: so thoae are propsoed times)


Anyone want in. Might make the ride a bit more enjoyable :niceone:

[Motoracer]

I'll be going down SH22. Anyone up for that?

I think there are 2 main risks of going on SH1:

1) Going at 250 past a cop car. :Police:
2) Going at 100, then falling asleep and crashing.:sleep:

:killingme :killingme :killingme :killingme :killingme . yeh but the advantages

1) don't have to leave frikken early
2) cut 60-80km off the ride (save petrol for those bum students like myself)

and if a person starts to nod off then hopefully there will be someone there to tap them on the shoulder :wacko: :killingme

Aff-man will be needing about warp 10.5 if he expects to leave the Autobahn at 09:15 to arrive Hamilton at 09:00 :eek:

[aff-man]

wooops cheers i just changed it to 8:15. :eek: :wacko:

[Zapf]

Yep. I am keen on being at AB at 8 and leaving at 8:15, I assume that it'll only take 45mins to get there? @ 100km/h?

The fresh air (in lack of a screen) will keep me awake.... or I might bring an mp3 player....

[6Chris6]

Depends on the weather for me.
Roads wet SH1
Roads dry 22

[Coldkiwi]

yeah, we'll aim for 8am meet for 8:15 leave at AB papakura. ...which probably means we'll be getting up at 5:30 to give my wife time to get her gear on! :)

Hahahaha so you've already started blaming others for your lack of an accurate watch :killingme :killingme :killingme . I might just show your wife this see what she has to say :eek: :buggerd: :killingme :killingme

Why aren't you going with the rest of us? :confused2 Bret's roads are awesome backroads as well! Come with the rest of the group man!

What bike does your old man ride? Is he fast? I was wanting to know how long does it take for someone like CK?

Oooops, just clicked on which old man you are talking about LOL. sorry man. Yep that old man is fast for sure but the trouble is that he is unsure as well about how long it takes.

Got a spare ear piece? I'll be keen to head down SH1

[Kwaka-Kid]

ill join @ AB and take the main roads as ill prolly be in the van and my dad and his gf will take the bike.

[Coldkiwi]

I was wanting to know how long does it take for someone like CK?

dunno! never done it! Furtherest south I've been on SH22 before heading east was to ngaruawahia with WT... umm... that could've been anywhere from 45 minutes to 90 minutes for all I know! Talk to the old fulla :)

[aff-man]

i think it was something like 100- 120km odd

[Firefight]

and which old Fulla are you talking about ? :Oi: even you should be able to do it in about 50 mins CK

F/F :wacko:

[Two Smoker]

Hey MR im keen to do SH22..... what time are you thinking????? I might be on the ZXR too.........

[Motoracer]

Thinking about leaving at 9 to do it in a record time and reach there in 1/2 hour... Not possible? Ok, back to reality. what time do you reckon is good? 7:45 or 8:00 departure? Some of the others might wana come down 22 as well so we should take extra time into account just in case.

[erik]

I'm not sure which way I'll be going. My tyres are getting a little low on tread, the rear has worn kinda flat from all the commuting, so maybe I should take SH22 so that I spend more time leaned over and save the middle of the tire for later? I dunno if that'll work... ;)

Yep an hour to 1.25 hours sounds pretty good to me... still havnt decided what bike to take down...... might talk to KK about taking them both down....

[Cajun]

F/F :wacko:

your the old fulla around here old fulla

[Posh Tourer :P]

*Cough* wank factor *cough*

Cant you choose?

Take the 400, you know the 150 wouldnt be happy at all that high speed.

[Zapf]

Just a note, won't SH22 be wet and damp at that time of the day?

[Zapf]

Got a spare ear piece? I'll be keen to head down SH1

haha don't know if I'll be bringing one actually... have got an iPod type player but not sure if I want it operating on the bike. E.g vibiration / bumps

[erik]

Sounds good to me!


After some more thought, I think I will just go on SH1.

[Kwaka-Kid]

RIGHT AUCKLANDERS that are putting stuff in my van... Better get it to me eh boys! tomorrow im home between works from 4PM till about 9PM as with friday.

so either of those 2 days is all good by me, and tonight im going to work soon and will be back later, who knows when. Catchya dudes.

[Firefight]

your the old fulla around here old fulla

hey banana man love the new avithingy.

[MadDuck]

Ok so this gal has realised cramming everything into one back pack aint gunna work! I have a friend who is coming along (if we can find a spare bed) so I can bring my hair dryer...makeup...ball gown...high heel glass slippers!

Since FF is chocker with Rum and KK wants 24 hours notice.....if anyone ones an extra wagon and somewhere to shove ya gear we need to find a bit of floor space. And I need support vehicle in case my poor wee butt starts to hurt he will take over riding of my wee cycle.

Regardless of that me and Posh will see you all at Autobahn Papakura at 8am...ish! I myself plan to head down boring ole SH1...22 will make the day way too long for me.

[Posh Tourer :P]

What??? :spudwhat:

[badlieutenant]

:thud: : :shit: :shit: :shake: :shake: :shit: :shit: :thud:

[MadDuck]

oops ...sorry Posh. Geez that read bad but thats the internet. My BF wants to come along (NO NOT POSH) and doesnt have his own motorbike up and running just yet. He is prepared to ride support vehicle if there is a spare bed.

Breathe Posh ...breathe...its ok

[Posh Tourer :P]

Ah, si. Tengo entiendo, Gracias. So you are offering more space in a vehicle, around your kitchen sink, and asking for floor space.

*bites back comment about older women* :D

[MadDuck]

hey older women aint that bad ......are they ? :wavey:

thats for you PT

[Zapf]

Hay Madduck, how are you going tour the SI if you can't pack your stuff onto the SV? :bleh:

[Quasievil]

Hi Madduck, have you organised another bed with Mrs Quasi? I know things are really tight on the bed scene drop me a line

[Quasievil]

Whichever way you guys go just be there at 9.30am SHARP!!! and buy a coffee from the coffee lady to.

personally I think you should all go SH1 I know its boring but I know the carnage 22 creates and It would be a shame to have carnage before the rally even starts huh.

[SPman]

Will be at Tokoaanu, but may not make the meet up at Hammy.
Sodding work...incompetents....gibstoppers....fuckwits...l iquidated damages.....fuckwits....project managers....incompetents...mutter mutter!.

[Cajun]

hey banana man love the new avithingy.

F./F

yeah i was gonna try and get it put on a shirt for the weeekend for a suprise but didn't pan out

so i put it up as my avitar now

[DarkDream]

Woo hoo,

Just got information pack and not the excitment is brewing up...so much so that I must have tossed and turned most of the nite and consequently I slept through my alarm and got to work late.

Boss is sending daggers at me!

SH1 is looking like the best option for me, not keen to bin before even getting into the rally, so I'll be meeting the rest of you at the autobahn.

Now that I know bedding is provided I'll be able to actually fit some clothes in my tiny backpack and I'll get the sleeping bag off my bike.....hopefully ducktape has left any marks :)

Try to get some panniers or seat bag if you can instead of a backpack. I got myself a seat bag last week (RJay) from Motormail for $99, and its heaps more comfy riding without a backpack down and back SH22 I found. If u got some $$ to spare :)

cant believe that panniers don't fit on my bike :/

[Coldkiwi]

hopefully ducktape has left any marks :)

I thought ducktape was solely used for holding Ducati's together?? :bleh:
Better bring plenty!

[MadDuck]

Hi Madduck, have you organised another bed with Mrs Quasi? I know things are really tight on the bed scene drop me a line

Mrs Quasi told me there were no spares and try the campsite. I just thought if anyone did pull out last minute that would be better.

Thanks Q

[BigB]

Hi All

We'll be joining you for the boring trip down SH1, need to get to Hamilton in time for a coffee hit. Should be a good weekend and we've got the big bike to use :scooter:

cheers

[Quasievil]

Mrs Quasi told me there were no spares and try the campsite. I just thought if anyone did pull out last minute that would be better.

Thanks Q
I think a couple of bikers have pulled out, can you Pm me to remind me and will look at it tonight okay cheers

[MadDuck]

Hay Madduck, how are you going tour the SI if you can't pack your stuff onto the SV? :bleh:

am sure I will come up with a solution. NZ couriers could always meet me at each town I am staying at. :msn-wink:

[MadDuck]

Thanks to the main man Mr Quasi we have a bit of carpet for my friend to sleep on. Damn legend!

So any of you Auckers wanting to stow shit (for a small fee - Woodys works well) we can pack our gear in the ute. What a relief I can now take my own hairdryer and not rely on CSL.

See you all there...wont be on line tomorrow cos have to get up at 5.30am to put my gear on so CKs Mrs dont feel left out :killingme

[Zapf]

Tomorrow? I thought the ride starts Sat? :shit:

[Quasievil]
