Gixxers needed for group photo. (where's the photos!?)

[SpankMe]

Gixxers needed for group photo.

I want to get a group photo of a bunch of Gixxers with the KB flag for 2008 calendar cover.

Also need a camera as mine's down in CHCH.


Will meet up on Sunday 21st Oct at about 14:00 at Devonport wharf.

I have added a calendar event to register your attendance so I can see if enough people are going to turn up to make it worthwhile.


Register your Gixxer's attendance here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1414&day=2007-10-21)<br /><br />

[The Stranger]

I want to get a group photo of a bunch of gixxers with the KB flag for 2008 calendar cover. Needs to be done sometime this month before the 24^th.

So who's interested?

Also need a camera as mine's down in CHCH, and suggestions for location. Somewhere central around Auckland.

I can provide a gixxer but don't have a camera.

I think Quasi knows a guy that is handy with a camera, oh wait, you want it this year.

That Big Dave is a nice guy though.

[Joni]

If you just want gixxers then Auckland may be the best idea...

You can wait till you come down and have your bike... with OAB's stunning gixxer, a Buel, a Guzi....

Your call!

[Grahameeboy]

Why Gixxers..........top 10 bikes in NZ would be cool

[Joni]

Because this year the cover is for Spank... what ever he wants.

I wanted just his bike and the flag - as that represents KB better than anything... and I want it to celebrate KB this year... all aspects of it :yes:

[HDTboy]

There's 4 gixxers in the garage

[yod]

does an RF count?...they're just a gixxer in disguise really :lol:

[The Stranger]

I want it to celebrate KB this year... all aspects of it :yes:

ALL aspects?

[uksteve]

Got a gixxer 1000 k6 in Auckland

[Joni]

ALL aspects?Yup... the cover is Spanks though.

At the end of the day he is KB.

[The Stranger]

Yup... the cover is Spanks though.

At the end of the day he is KB.

I can handle the photos of Crashe being burned at the stake at the end of the witch hunt and of Sallo naked, but please, not Gayhameeboys butt.

[jrandom]

There's 4 gixxers in the garage

One's a frame.

[jrandom]

... please, not Gayhameeboys butt.

It's not that bad, really... in the dark, under the covers... once you're drunk...

:love:

[duckaddict]

I'm free most weekend :second:

[Finn]

I've got a professional camera and am not too shabby with the lense. Am even willing to risk a broken lense taken a pic of a few Sugookies.

[SpankMe]

I reckon after the WIMA run would be a good time. Handy way to everyone to meet up. Any suggestions for a place to do it. Somewhere there is a cageless view in the background.

I am happy to assist. Free most days except 12th to 15th Oct. Where I'll be away for the grand challange. What type of photo are you thinking of? Day / Night? What colour are most of the bikes? Idea of location / background?

[canarlee]

yet another GSXR.



why?



look at every third or fourth bike, how so fashionista.

[onearmedbandit]

Maybe because SpankMe, who just by the way OWNS this site, happens to own A GSXR. And as Joni said the cover is SpankMe's this year.

[Bikestore]

can i suggest somwhere out by beachlands maraetai, cos there are plenty of nice backgrounds there, (prob wiv devonport is there is only one way in and one out, and its baconville") if ya head out maraetai at least people can opt to do a route around clevedon or kaiua" ofcourse if ya ride a gix , its a compulsory wheelie past my place on the way, "hell i might even light up the barbeque for ya all !!!

Good, the list is growing. I know you can't all make the 14^th, but if the weather is shitty that day, we'll try the next weekend. In fact I might do this on both weekends for the best chance of getting the biggest group/best photo.

[bugjuice]

i'd like to take some pics, if you haven't got that sorted yet..
also still wanting to do some more moody pics with lighting and shiiiiit..

[SimJen]

I might be able to make it too :)
I got a decent DSLR too if required (10 Meg, RAW etc).

[puddy]

I'm the same as Zapf. Can pretty much make any weekend except the 13th and 14th..........the Rusty GC. Like somebody posted earlier, the ones that go fast will be at Taupo on the 14th, but the ones that go long will be on the GC!:Punk:

[SlowHand]

Doh, 14th is out for me too sorry. Off to watch them purdy bikes on a small island with some penguins

[Drunken Monkey]

If I'm back on the road then, I'm in too. 14th might be cutting it a bit fine, still waiting on some parts, so the later the better.

[Leong]

I'll be there too if I can ( .....if the bike's still looking pretty after the 13th )

Currently looking at 14th Oct at about 15:00 at Devonport wharf.
If there is a change, this will be updated.

Hey Spank, saw you scouting out the Wharf today.

Was thinking that top of Mt Victoria would be a cool place..........better view too.....you could do shoots at both places and then decide.

[enigma51]

Good, the list is growing. I know you can't all make the 14^th, but if the weather is shitty that day, we'll try the next weekend. In fact I might do this on both weekends for the best chance of getting the biggest group/best photo.

The weekend after the 14th is the Trackday

[HDTboy]

The weekend after the 14th is the Trackday

Which trackday? 14 + 7 = 21

[The Stranger]

14 + 7 = 21

Well done. All that home work finally paying off aye Gav.

[Brett]

I think I have a Gixxer lying around here somewhere...will bring it to the public flogging. Will need a wash first though.

[Qkkid]

So is jealousy, get a gixxer or get over it.

How about a green gixxer:Punk:

[SpankMe]

Everybody still OK for Sunday? Will make a decision about the weather on the day.

[SpankMe]

Weather could be ok for tomorrow so I hope everyone is cleaning their Gixxers today for tomorrows photo shoot. :)

All good for today still? ill bring out mine for the last time.:banana:

[SpankMe]

The skies look clear now so should be still on if it stays that way. I will post again when I come home after the WIMA run.

[86GSXR]

Bugger. If I'd seen this earlier I may have brought me 86 model up for immortalisation. Hope you got some good shots.

[SpankMe]

I get home and it just starts to rain :( So I think I'll postpone till next week.

[Buddy L]

gutted, im going to be away that weekend and hopefully the bike has been sold by then.

[SpankMe]

If you're bringing your gixxer to this, can you please register your attendance (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1414&day=2007-10-21&) so I know we're going to get enough bikes. No point doing it if only a couple of people are going to turn up.

[Cajun]

depending on weather, might pop upmyself with the yellow thing

[klingon]

I'm glad it was postponed so now I can make it. I'll be the gal on the Volty ogling the big bikes from the shadows :whistle:... or maybe the one that you don't notice until after the photos are enlarged and you say "why is there a Volty in the background of EVERY photo?!" :woohoo:

[white belt]

I have registered for Littleman, he should be back for this weekend and I'm sure he would love to take his new 07 GSXR600.

[White trash]

Without wanting to state the obvious, it'd be good to see all the bikes nice and clean and shiny too.

[Nicksta]

hmm... i'll have to ride back up from hams... but i'll be there!.... and with my shiny red gix.. its her 1st birthday too on sunday!

[boomer]

Without wanting to state the obvious, it'd be good to see all the bikes nice and clean and shiny too.

I'm hearing ya! Women love a clean weapon... Apparantly

[HDTboy]

Best I polish my weapon then. Will try to get Two Smoker to ride the K4 racebike there

[SpankMe]

Weathers looking good for the weekend. :sunny:

Also any ideas how to arrange the bikes. Just putting them in a line sounds kinda boring. Remember one will have a flagpole attached (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/image_browser.php?do=view&threadid=19695&censored=yes) to the side on the back wheel.

[Zapf]

Form a circle facing inwards or outwards...

Else have them in a staggered line....

Or a wing formation.

All depends on how many bikes you want and what type of shots you want. I would suggest we try a few different setup and ppl can snap away.

[Finn]

How about a Suzuki bonfire?

[SpankMe]

Only if we can use your Itie poser bike as the torch.

13 so far.

We would also need your porsche as the stake to tie them to.

i think you'll need penicillin bro.. no amount of 'cleaning' will make that desirable

[86GSXR]

I'll bring my two 86 750's up. Should be a damn good ride and it will be good to have them out together, first time in fact. One's pretty mint and has an 85 fairing, so it may be an 85 model, not entirely sure to be honest. The others been around the block a few times but may look good from a distance in a group. Not bonfire material just yet tho lol. So how do we get to Devonport Wharf? Over the bridge, out to Devonport and follow our noses to the water I assume? Cheers :rockon:

[sAsLEX]

Photographer down low looking up at 13 coordinated stoppies flying in to stop in an inwards facing circle at equidistant angles and the same elevation of the back tires.

Anything less I will not be impressed.

[Quasievil]

Yeah me cant wait , looking forward to it, see yall there:eek:

[0arbreaka]

I might try and get off work a bit early and come along, no garuntees though.

[sarahtvet]

I have a Cannon 30D digital I can bring with me if you want. I am coming up with 86GSXR on one of his bikes.

[SpankMe]

I hope everyone's gixxer is nice and clean for tomorrow. If anyone can bring a step ladder, it would be helpful.

[borg]

Careful going across the bridge everyone. Fairly strong winds out there.

I'vegot the van if no one can get a stepladder on the back of their bike. More than welcome to climb up on the roof of it.

[Nicksta]

i hope this is all go still?
see you all there :)
oh and Spank.. my gix got 2 cleans on friday night... a bikini bike wash special!

[86GSXR]

Thanks all for a nice afternoon in your fab city :yes: It was a pleasure getting the original Gixxers out for the day. Just got home, had an excellent ride down via Te Kuiti, Taumarunui, and the Forgotton Highway. Amazing ride that, 150 kms of intense twisties and incredible country. Do it! Hope there's some good pics in amongst all that lot. Cheers!
