Thanks Quasi!

[NC]

Big ups to you Quasievil :D

Thank you heaps! The rally was sooooo kewl!

Hehe even though MrMelon and I ended up at the local pub... But we embraced the moment and had crate bottle beers (Tui) and we blended in quiet well with the locals, apart from when they started getting too pissed and started taking their teeth and putting them on the tables :laugh:

Yep, so over all....Bloody good weekend:D

CSL, The Handbrake, Jazbug & Weasle You chicks rock! :wavey: :Punk:

Sorry to anyone I didn't say hi to, I'm shy yah know :pinch:

[toads]

hey there nc30, I totally agree with your thread ( that's a first lol) Just kidding and wanted to say thanks to Quasi and Mrs Quasi, Mr and Mrs Firefight, and Kwaka kids family, and all the other people that worked so hard to make this such a success I think I've learned a lot about riding through talking to all of you people, and nc30 you were right when you said about making my own lines, I wasn't so drunk I didn't remember what you said, and it helped me heaps, cheers, i felt way more confident and went faster, as a result. ( thank God for that I hear you all say)

[badlieutenant]

[Slipstream]

...meeting loads of cool people, being told I look like a boy, duct tape, being told I look like a young boy, water antics, being told I look like a young boy who no one should mess with, alcohol and pain lots and lots of pain....

This morning I:
- was told about NC' Chick's dare devil beer drinking at the local pub
- remember the pain, lots and lots of pain
- saw WT's newly adorned 'Trash' Mobile in the daylight :killingme
- had the terrific National Korean dish of bacon and eggs with hash browns
- saw a baby bird :love:
- had to say goodbye to loads and loads of cool people :bye:

Big Ups to Quasi. :niceone: You are a party organising God :not: ....and so is Mrs Quasi
What an awesome night. :niceone: Thanks for the duct tape...I'll say no more. :msn-wink:

Special mentions to NC' Chick, Velox and Mrs BungBung, if you guys hadn't been there, I wouldn't have had so much fun getting into mischief...I'll say no more. :shifty: :msn-wink:

Oh yeah...also a special mention to the Ali G wannabe, K K, from Eh Boy Racing ....You either are really very limited on them social skills, or you have some very big b***s for a young kid. Some of them comments .... :killingme :killingme :killingme ..... :niceone:

I had a great time.....Thank you for reading :niceone: :sunny:

[Posh Tourer :P]

Good stuff what....

Assignments to do, so my report and piccies come on Tuesday :yes:

[MrMelon]

Yeah cheers guys. It was cool meeting you all.

We tried to blend in at the local pub with our crate bottles, but I think we had too many teeth and not enough fingers to really fit in there.

Blah at getting a ticket on the way home tho :(

Uh oh!

How much, dude?

:weep:

[MrMelon]

As much as it can be without losing your license :(

[Hooks]

As much as it can be without losing your license :(


Mate !!! thats a bugger ..... you guys should have come with me ..... I only saw one cop all the way down to Palmy and he was watching a whole pile of cyclists instead of what was going past him on the road ..... I walked in the door here 11.45 and I had a stop for a cuppa at my Dad's in Hunterville too ... so it was a reasonably rapid trip back .....
Thanks for letting me ride up with you guys too .... it was good fun ....

Oh and nothing fell off the old bitch on the way back either ....BONUS !!!

[6Chris6]

Thanks so much to Brett & Paula for such a well organised, spectacularly sucsesful rally.

You guys rock!

This really was an amazing weekend with NO BINS

And only 1 breakdown needing a support vehicle, which just so happened to be the owner of the support vehicle :wacko:

And to all those who speculated that maybe this breakdown was engineered by the rider to escape that little shower on saturday.
All i'd like to say is, when i went there to pick up my bag a very shifty looking rider was warming said bike up to ride to work :buggerd:

Top effort everyone that came along
Chris

The pics are Motoracer puttin on a bit of a firework display and some slightly moist KB'ers enjoyin a quiet shandy before adjourning to bed

[sAsLEX]

As much as it can be without losing your license :(

had a nice police officer today, just flashed me and shook his finger at me going about 45 to fast around meremere

[MrMelon]

Yeah this one seemed nice enough, but he still radioed ahead to get someone to pull me over and bust my ass.

Yeah this one seemed nice enough, but he still radioed ahead to get someone to pull me over and bust my ass.

Was that at the end of the Paraparas ? I must have been concentrating on the road so much I didn't see a couple of cops on the way...lucky today I guess...no tickets.

Big Ups to Quasi and Mrs Quasi - what an awesome night. Great to meet everyone and despite yesterdays weather, today was much better. Im so glad I didn't take the car.

Hope to see those who can make it to Manfeild next Sunday.

[Two Smoker]

Hey thanks mate, glad you enjoyed yourself, we certainly had a good, fuck it was good huh if I may say so lol

Yeah, where are they? And are there some of me :eek: ????

Brett and Paula, what an awesome weekend..... well organised with great company....

Big thanks to F/F and Mrs F/F, as well as KK, Nodman and Mrs Nodman

Everyone ride bloody well but Rider's of the weekend, goes to Motoracer and Coldkiwi....

Drinkers of the weekend go to F/F and KK....

High amounts of amusement came from WT, Deano and The Handbrake in the pool lol.... as well as KK....

Stoppie of the day goes to MR on my RG150 (not my little sorry excuses of stoppies......)

When's the next one...... ???? Count me in now!!!!!!!!

[Two Smoker]

Oh yeah, one other thing. MR and i passed a cop at about 150 odd kmh..... (we had backed off our previous pace) its was a nice straight piece of road and we did it safely, he didnt care and let us go...... then to top it off he let the rest of the group go infront of him :niceone:

[Quasievil]

am i reading that right ? you had a good fuck ? well niiicceee.......... :killingme
Im tired piss off ya cheeky buggar

[Ms Piggy]

Thanks so much to Brett & Paula!

I had an awesome time and met some fabulous people :spudwave: Don't be strangers now!

My next lot of praise firstly goes to Jazbug5. This lassie has only been riding a couple of months and didn't let all the pissing down rain yesterday deter her at all. You rock hun! :niceone: And today she showed some most excellent riding skills...especially pointing out squished things on the road for me & other hazards.

Thanks also to Stone chucker (Dave) who very kindly drove up in his car and stayed with Jabug5 and I the whole ride. Even if you did gloat on the way up about being dry! Thanks heaps! You're a sweetie!

Next thanks - VTWIN (Bruce) who stayed behind Jazbug5 and I all the way up yesterday (except for that one time when there was an urgent call of nature you could no longer ignore). I can only guess how difficult it must be to be on a big bike and have to ride at between 70 - 90 km/hr in the pissing down rain. Cheers Mate! :niceone:

Thanks to all the rest of the Wellington crew (McCool we missed you! :(). I'll leave it up to one of the others to write the ride report for our jaunt and excellent eateries.

It was great to get to know a few of you a bit better and I especially enjoyed us all getting hot & wet together. :msn-wink:

I think the highlight for me was getting out of my wet riding gear on Saturday and into the hot pool - blisssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

The lowlight was learning that my man was gonna surprise me by turning up but wasn't able to. :bye:

Thanks guys & guyesses - can't wait till next time. CSL (Cathy)

p.s Posh Tourer - thanks for the CD, some great tunes mate!

[MrMelon]

Nah didn't see any cops at the end of the paraparas. I got done down the raumati straights... clear straight road with armco barriers! jeez!

[Ms Piggy]

What's going on here?!
C'mon now you know exactly what was going on...you big tease! :blah:

[Ms Piggy]

Hehe even though MrMelon and I ended up at the local pub... But we embraced

Ahhhhhh we wondered where you both were all night :msn-wink:

[Deano]

Nah didn't see any cops at the end of the paraparas. I got done down the raumati straights... clear straight road with armco barriers! jeez!

The notorious mad mile.

Hayden told me about a few cops I hadn't seen on the way.

Well done Jaz and also Velox - for a 250 Im sure you would put a few big sports bikes to shame the way you were riding through the Paras.

[6Chris6]

Oooopse :o

Sorted out piccies on earlier post now.
Heres another one of Two Smoker (sorry dude, got heaps of vid clips of you but no real good piccies.)
Will try to post clips but don't think it'll work.
I'll e-mail you.

Damn....

Now I'm really bummed we couldn't go.. Looks like megga fun!

Well done to the organisers!

Fuck thats a sexy looking bike im on :whistle: :laugh: :p

[jazbug5]

Great to meet you all; my brain appears to be malfunctioning (more than usual) so I will just second all the good stuff people have said here; nice one, Quasi, manymany thanks to the very patient CSL, Bruce VTwin and Dave Stony for looking out for me, and er, thanks to Bad L. for poisoning me with that Feyjoa (?) vodka stuff. I now have hairs on my chest, and it ain't a pretty sight..
Thanks also to 'persons unknown' who decided to 'decorate' CSL's and my 'bitchmobiles' with vast quantities of duct tape. We didn't actually get to see the results (other than the feckt paint on my bike which 'persons unknown' will be very kindly sorting out at their 'mystery bike shop' soon, which may or may not be located in Wellington, not a million miles away from Oriental Parade..)
Anyhoo, I'm hoping for a shiny new paint job out of it; shouldn't be too hard to make a GN250 look like a bitchin mean machine, eh?
Right, time to stop.
Here's some pics.

[NC]

Ahhhhhh we wondered where you both were all night :msn-wink:

Damn! damn you!

[Kwaka-Kid]

Big Ups to Quasi and his Wife. Top job, i dont think anybody could have organised it better.

Awesome night and what a laugh, I apologise to anybody i insulted including the young boy whom i soon enough found out (the hard way) was not a boy. Oh and esp. to FF but dude you SO started that.

Thanks to everybody for making it what it was and going out there and not letting that weather get to you, also extra thanks to those whom helped consume the steinlager, the following morning left my head pulsating rather nicely, god damn i told you 6chris6 to watch me and make sure i only had 1 beer not 2!!!

Oh, and the stupid honda is semi-fixed (will get me to work tomorrow then the bike shop) till i get battery/regrec. No further comment regarding its coincidental timing of collapse with the weather.

[MikeL]

A great weekend. No bins, only 1 ticket reported so far, some superb riding weather today and great roads, only a couple of mechanical problems - Affman's broken clutch cable in Ngaruawahia was definitely genuine, whereas a certain other young gentleman's claims of reg/rec failure on a Honda VFR (hard to believe, innit??) which forced him to sit in a van gnashing his teeth and watching the rest of us communing with the elemental forces of nature, are looking increasingly suspicious...
Full marks to Quasievil and Mrs Quasi for their organisational skills.
It was a great opportunity to put a few more names to faces, particular the non-Jafas. Sorry I didn't get to socialize much with the Wellywood set - I guess I'm shy, too...
Another good thing to come of this weekend: having shared a room with a certain person from Tokoroa I now have a rejoinder when my wife complains about my snoring.
Hmm, Badlieutenant, I might not have given that feijoa-vodka a fair go. I think it could grow on you.
Lots of good things, but the best had to be getting into that hot pool just minutes after arriving, having started to suffer the effects of incipient hypothermia.
Now all I have to do is figure out a cool way to wear my bandana...

[Slipstream]

only 1 ticket reported so far,


...ah no-no son. The trash mobile got more action than the duct tape....but I'll let the owner fill you in when his head isn't feelin' so done in. :pinch: :thud: ... :laugh:

[Posh Tourer :P]

Now all I have to do is figure out a cool way to wear my bandana...

With 8 different configurations expertly illustrated, I think the first step is to master each one, and then see which one best suits your personal feng-shui

[FROSTY]

I'mm soo happy for you lot.
Personally I'm totally gutted due to a certain bike shop letting me down badly. I had a half day organised and planned on meeting you lot at the pools

[Stevo]

Ok. Having read the thread I am gutted at having not made it across the ditch and up there. Pity as a couple other mainlanders were planning on coming up from CHCH AS WELL. Apparently they missed the cut off date or something. Maybe I need to learn to negotiate the site better rather than spending all my time in forums................. is that the prob?

I think us mainlanders would enjoy getting to know yall. Glad everyone had a safe weekend though!!

That is the main thing

[magnum]

big thanx to quasi mr and mrs and everyone else who helped out :not: and to the people who picked up my clothes that decided to jump ship :niceone: nice to meet some more kb people to.thanks to the room 24 crew mikel and bad l,howz the head? :sweatdrop

the heads been better thanks mate <_< and Id like to congratulate you on some of the most creative breathing excercises Ive heard performed, I did get worried for a little bit when I was sure your esophagus had collapsed :eek5: but fortunately you rattled back to life after a few minutes and the show went on.
hehe :D good to hear you made it back safe and sound.

[magnum]

never heard a thing!!! :whistle: hope you had earplugs :eek:

[badlieutenant]

never heard a thing!!! :whistle: hope you had earplugs :eek:
lol couldnt find them and im not kidding, i looked! :D pillow and alcohol did the trick in the end :D

[Velox]

Yep - great time!
Just a few comments first ...
Hooks - must've been cause there was no-one there to throw them at!
Handbrake - "mischief"?
MikeL - what bandanas?
:msn-wink:

Wgtn Ride back lowdown:
Beeeeeeautiful! I'd been looking foward to hitting the Paraparas for so long and they were great! Pretty much how I expected. Probably the best weather we could have possibly wanted and roads to match (well 53km's of it anyway). We (Jazbug, CSL, StoneChucker, Mr and Mrs Bungbung, MrMelon, V-Twin and me) headed over the Paraparas (where Deano and Hayden left us in their dust), from Wanganui across to Palmy and then just down SH1. The best find of the day though was an awesome restaurant/shearer's bar at the bottom of the Paraparas with a huge garden/outdoor eating area, real nice old decor inside (including the furry wallpaper of course!), another whole bar full of old shearing equipment, and a couple of old locals telling tales at the bar. (Oh - and a rather unfortunate Corgi). Really good kai too! So, I recommend that to anyone after they've gone for a blast over the hill.
But yep - it was all good except for the cop down the road. Not good at all. Just for interest sake - at that particular time V-Twin you were doing 126kmph and Bungbung you were at 118. (And they got me ("the second bloke"), and obvously Glenn). Didn't know who was who though apart from the one in front.
So - THANKS QUASI (and Mrs) again!!! Oh - and Firefight for the sirclip!

[Velox]

One more thing - who was it that was asleep in the pool? Sorry - I forgot cause I met heaps of people! Have you recovered mate? - People were checking your pulse!

It was sAsLEX..... he was knackered from doing Uni work lol......

[V Twin Raver]

Yes, a great weekend had by myself & Jane - only problem being, that despite the rain & wind on Saturday, Jane enjoyed herself so much that I fear she will want to be part of every ride I go on from here on. Maybe if I were to ride at 90km/h everywhere she would get bored and leave the bike riding passtime to me.

A big thanks to Bret & Paula - AWESOME EVENT & thanks for putting us up on Friday night - you have set the bar for event organisation and it is going to be tough to beat that one. Also to Mr & Mrs F/F & K/K Family - thanks for your support throughout the weekend and I am thankful that by the weekends end, the trailer only went along for the ride.

It was great to put some faces to the names & catch up with any of you - some I did not get to meet but another place, another time. Can't wait for the next one.

[White trash]

I have just got over the WICKED headache. I don't think I'll drink again.

Obviously, a huge thanks to you know who for you know what. Well done. Thanks to F/F and KK senior, you guys rock. Good to have a druken chat with both of you in the pool. What was hilarious, was after 30minutes of drunken ramblings, and making sure that "when you're down in Wellington, make sure you stop in for a coffee and a yarn" I'm told, "Well, I've never met this White trash guy everyone seems to know, I wouldn't mind catching up with him."

Riiiiigghhttttt.

Waking up Sunady morning after leaving the pool at 2:30 I'm greeted by Hayden grinning away, "Did you sleep well?"

Aparently, a couple of comedians from Wgtn had climbed into our room, short-sheeted and lined with potato chips the only double bed in the room. The very same one that The Handbrake and I had graciously offered to Mad Duck and her partner Ian. :killingme

Step outside, the Trash mobile is now the "Rash mobile".

After leaving, had a nice traffic free fang in the car to National Park, down the road a bit, Mr Plod coming the other way hooks a neat little u-ey and pulls ol' Trashy over.

Thanks for not being a patronising prick and letting us on our way quickly. Makes a change.

Got home, dropped the Handbrake off, over to some friends place to watch the Rossi show with Deano then home to bed.

My head still hurts!

[Ms Piggy]

Thanks also to 'persons unknown' who decided to 'decorate' CSL's and my 'bitchmobiles' with vast quantities of duct tape. We didn't actually get to see the results.
Yes I was most dissapointed I didn't get to see the bitchin mobile all trussed up but I did hear that there were pictures taken ?????

Thanks though to the sisterhood who removed that sticky stuff from our babies & meted out their wrath on those who know who they are.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Speaking of pictures, there is now a folder in the gallery for you all to add pictures of any sort..... As long as they were taken on the rally :D

The highlights of mine will be going in tomorrow - I dont have time today

[enigma51]

Thanks to Mr and Mrs Quasi Mr and Mrs FF Kwaka kid and his dad and everyone else for making it a great weekend.

[Motoracer]

I must say that I haven't appreciated a nice hot shower like I did straight after getting into our motel, in a long long while. I was VERY impressed by the organisation skills of Bret and Paula and everyone else who was involved in making this Rally possible. I mean, the attention to detail was just brilliant!! In my book, this event gets a 10/10!!:headbang:

It was nice to finally meet some of the people from other parts of the country who aren’t really involved in racing/track riding. It was also nice to meet the usual non-local hard arse fast dudes again. I was happily drunk all thanx to FF and Cajun for shouting me the piss. Oh yea, thanx again FF for giving me the kick up the bum to make me ride in the rain. I did enjoy myself once I got into it and the brakes weren’t really a problem. I think you will be proud of me, TS, Darkdream, 6Chris6, Zaph and erik for coming via SH22 on the way back to Auckland. If you are wondering why we didn’t catch up to you, we had to stop to patch up my bike cause the fairings came loose on my bike.

After getting 8 hours of sleep for the last 72 hours and having a hangover, I came home and only managed to watch bits of MotoGP during which my eyes were opening and closing shut until I watched you know who win the race. After that, I managed to collapse in bed for 14 hours straight!:thud:

Awesome riding CK and TS mainly but almost everyone else was riding brilliantly as well. A huge credit goes out to all of us for not binning it, despite the terrible conditions of Day1.

P.S. Cheers for the pics and Quasie YOU DA MAN!!

[enigma51]

I must say it was great to take my one of 200 (Yeah right) and compare story's with 3 others on the same bike. THANKS SUZUKI

[Cajun]

was good to see tons of coronas pity i didn't have my k4 there )c:<

[Coldkiwi]

Once again, big -ups to the Quasievils for organising such a great event. Also, big respect to Quasi for sticking to his guns when a certain motelier decided he wanted twice as much money when it came time to leave!!

Great fun all round even though the wife and I did turn in early on Saturday (thanks for talking to her TS at dinner and spreading all those horrid untrue stories about the way I ride! I owe ya one mate :P )

So whos going to post the story about the REAL banana man?

I'm definitely impressed that no one binned (can't really count MikeL's little snooze as he got off the bike in Tokaanu!) - a credit to the wise words from FF, Quasi and Nodman in Hamilton methinks.

[Two Smoker]

Great fun all round even though the wife and I did turn in early on Saturday (thanks for talking to her TS at dinner and spreading all those horrid untrue stories about the way I ride! I owe ya one mate :P )

.
LMAO, No worries :niceone: but i think she knew everytime you blitzed past the support vehicles.......

[Cajun]

i will post about the real bananman

MR F/F decided he wanted to take the mighty role of banana man off my young shoulders after a few to many rums he decided a banana sticking out of his pants was a good looking site, and going around jiggling at people and chasing another young lad who has a couple of yellow bikes and got scared of rain decided to go rest of way in van dc:<. Then slowly getting dragged away by Mrs F/F

Next morning wake up with banana in his pants, wondering how it got there.
And they say us young ones are bad

[Coldkiwi]

LMAO, No worries :niceone: but i think she knew everytime you blitzed past the support vehicles.......

eh what? You think i'm stupid too? Only time I passed Paula's car it was at about 110km! I'm not out to deliberately give myself grief. Mind you, I think enigma complaining about not being able to catch up despite pulling some eeer 'high speeds' (you know you want to get rid of those 207's mate!) probably didn't help my cause either :shutup:

oh well - it'll work itself out. Could be for the best anyway

Cajun, I note Dave hasn't posted anything yet. Might still be in bed with a banana recovering do you suppose?

big ups to the evils what an awesome event you ran it must be very time consuming...........


...............how about making it an annual event.

following enigma51 i never seen my bike slide around so much.
Its such a shame that pool (yep the one with no DRINK or food alowwed) didnt fit in my tankbag.

cheers everyone for a brilliant weekend.

Not naming names, but I was there when somebody mentioned your speeds of WELL over 110km/h in front of your wife and I just happened to watch her reaction........I tried to lighten things up by asking her "you did not want to hear that did you?" where she quietly answered "no". I kind of guessed you were going to be quized on the comment later on that night. Is that why you are contemplating taking up a new pass time......in the interests of continued amicable wedded relations??

How about a track day weekend this weekend? :eek:

Do Pukie this Sat, stay the night at palmy, do Manfield on Sunday and come back home or stay Sunday and come back Monday (3 day weekend! :Punk: )

[enigma51]

Not naming names, but I was there when somebody mentioned your speeds of WELL over 110km/h in front of your wife and I just happened to watch her reaction........I tried to lighten things up by asking her "you did not want to hear that did you?" where she quietly answered "no". I kind of guessed you were going to be quized on the comment later on that night. Is that why you are contemplating taking up a new pass time......in the interests of continued amicable wedded relations??

I never go faster than 110 and dont think think any one was doing more than 120 at max :scooter:

[scroter]

I never go faster than 110 and dont think think any one was doing more than 120 at max :scooter:

[bungbung]

Thanks Quasi and mrs Quasi, myself and mrs bungbung had a great time.

[StoneChucker]

Hey

As I've said on numerous occasions on the w/e, thanks Quasi and Paula, top effort, much appreciated.

Next time though, I think Duct Tape is not such a great prize to be giving out to drinking bikers :D :D (second thought, it makes for a laugh, more next time pls)

Nice to meet all of you, but I must admit I didn't speak to many people for very long, so I fear I may have already forgot the name, faces or both :Oops: There is always next time, I hope...

See some of you at Paul's soon to be legendary BBQ, coming up in Nov
Dave.

What a weekend! :)

My waterproof over pants worked well, unfortunately my jacket didn't, and once it had soaked into my jumper and t-shirt, it soaked into the pants too... :P For the last bit of the ride there I was sitting as still as I could because with each movement, the water moved a bit and made me just a bit colder.

The party and the ride (and awsome weather) on sunday more than made up for it though :) Not to mention "winning" (Quasi rigged it after seeing the waterlogged work boots I wore) some proper bike boots in the raffle. They're a bit small, but WhiteTrash has said he'll see if he can find some that will fit me. It was a real surprise for me getting them, I was sitting there wondering when my ticket number would be called out and didn't suspect I'd get them until Quasi started talking about checking people's boots! Thanks heaps! :D

I was so exhausted yesterday after the party, the ride back to Hamilton, and then riding up SH22 with Motoracer, Two Smoker, 6Chris6, Zapf and Darkdream that I couldn't concentrate on posting here or even watching the MotoGP.

Anyway, I took a few fotos, they're up in the gallery (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=146) now. The photo of Celtic_Sea_Lily's and Jazbug's duct taped bikes is there, as are a few blurry photos of Motoracer and TwoSmoker going around that corner by the cafe (actually, they're not that blurry, not all of them... but it's bloomin' difficult taking good photos of fast moving bikes).

I'd better get stuck into writing a lab report that's due on wednesday...

[Two Smoker]

Cheers for the photos Eric, they look mint :niceone: when i was following you Zapf and Darkdream, you were all riding really well :niceone:

[vifferman]

Yeah, thanx Quasi!

[Hooks]

Well I have finally got my PC to stay connected longer than 3 minutes at a time and can now throw my thanks up here ... both to Mr. & Mrs. Evil for the event itself .... and to Mr. & Mrs Cajun for allowing me to snore up a storm in their room after I succumbed to the heineken diet I was on !! I piked early in the end due to a lack of practice in the drinking dept and probably have the distinction of being the only one to have suffered a mechanical breakdown on the way up after my clutch lever bolt failed to remain in place !! .... Oh well it is an old bike after all .....
Anyhow great weekend with great people, can't wait for the next one .....

[StoneChucker]

I hope your offer of going for a ride, "Learn to play golf" and stay the night is still valid? Or... is it a mulliga.... no, Heineken :lol: :first: Nice to meet ya btw.

My goodness hooks. I think you need to find some superglue to keep your bike together. :killingme

BTW if you want to borrow my haynes manual anytime you are welcome to. Covers your bike.

[Coldkiwi]

Is that why you are contemplating taking up a new pass time......in the interests of continued amicable wedded relations??

yeah thats part of it, but i've been questioning myself on the wisdom of doing those speeds anyway. I've been lucky so far with no high speed encounters with pigs (of either kind), tractors, potholes or other bikers but I don't think that luck will last forever and I'd enjoy having a slightly safer (but no less thrilling) version of motorcycling that I can share with the wife.

[sAsLEX]

Ive got a 150 two stroke, my bike doesnt even go over 70 :(

yeah i was wondering why the cop was flashing me!! and how it cost $11 something for 90km!!

[Hooks]

Shit! My Cafe pics look embarrassing, even if I was hungover... The bike's almost upright with my knee trying way too hard to reach for the ground. :no:

I better get my shit together and pull out some respectable times at the track this weekend to regain some dignity. :p

Your pics look mean as though TS!! :Punk:

[toads]

I have just got over the WICKED headache. I don't think I'll drink again.

Obviously, a huge thanks to you know who for you know what. Well done. Thanks to F/F and KK senior, you guys rock. Good to have a druken chat with both of you in the pool. What was hilarious, was after 30minutes of drunken ramblings, and making sure that "when you're down in Wellington, make sure you stop in for a coffee and a yarn" I'm told, "Well, I've never met this White trash guy everyone seems to know, I wouldn't mind catching up with him."

Riiiiigghhttttt.

Waking up Sunady morning after leaving the pool at 2:30 I'm greeted by Hayden grinning away, "Did you sleep well?"

Aparently, a couple of comedians from Wgtn had climbed into our room, short-sheeted and lined with potato chips the only double bed in the room. The very same one that The Handbrake and I had graciously offered to Mad Duck and her partner Ian. :killingme

Step outside, the Trash mobile is now the "Rash mobile".

After leaving, had a nice traffic free fang in the car to National Park, down the road a bit, Mr Plod coming the other way hooks a neat little u-ey and pulls ol' Trashy over.

Thanks for not being a patronising prick and letting us on our way quickly. Makes a change.

Got home, dropped the Handbrake off, over to some friends place to watch the Rossi show with Deano then home to bed.

My head still hurts!

why am I not surprised by any of this, btw my toe hurts

[Hooks]

My goodness hooks. I think you need to find some superglue to keep your bike together. :killingme

BTW if you want to borrow my haynes manual anytime you are welcome to. Covers your bike.

Cheers mate !! I might just grab it sometime soon and spend some time going over her from top to bottom ..... god knows she needs it !! .... And I think I'm out of superglue now too !!! ..... :confused2

[jazbug5]

Try the silver duct tape. It's very good; ask WT if he'll do a custom 'fix' on your bike... amazing stuff..

:msn-wink:

[toads]

Once again, big -ups to the Quasievils for organising such a great event. Also, big respect to Quasi for sticking to his guns when a certain motelier decided he wanted twice as much money when it came time to leave!!
.

WHAT!!!!, that's shocking good on ya Quasi, it's a wonder the guy had the cheek to ask for more $ seeing a few of us got crook from the chicken eh!

[badlieutenant]

probably he was encouraged to do it i suspect. I felt sorry for the weaner. :disapint: but then we make our own beds..........

[Hooks]

:msn-wink:

I've used all my tape as a child restraint !! .... the bike will have to get by with the old nuts & bolts I find following along behind Ducatis !!!

[StoneChucker]

What is the whole story of the guy asking for more money? What happened? Do tell, so as I can make up my mind whether to go back there again <_<

[Quasievil]

What is the whole story of the guy asking for more money? What happened? Do tell, so as I can make up my mind whether to go back there again <_<
Well we had a very agreed in my mind firm agreement to the price of the accomodation on a per person basis, on paying the balance he decided he would change the deal to a room by room basis meaning a big difference, I did stick to my guns, well mostly,we did have a budget blow out but no matter Spank is getting $300 for his new OS that he needs so Hey we had lots of fun and we all made some coin for the legendary Spank in the process. So no complaints really.
Personally I think the guy at the Oasis was being a bit dodgy in trying that one on, should heard him complain about noise the mess around the pool blah blah blah, the pool was in great nick I went to clean up and found 1 cig butt and 1 bottle top, maybe someone cleaned it before me ?
I would go again but I would get it in writing next time.

[MikeL]

we did have a budget blow out

Just make sure that you are not out of pocket personally because if it did turn out a bit more than anticipated I'm sure we would all be happy to divvy up.

BTW what was this about the chicken? (I had the T-bone...)

[StoneChucker]

I think, however rowdy we were (and so what, we hired out the whole place pretty much right?), we were tidy and well behaved. I can't say for everyone else since I left early, but I assume everyone took away their empties from the pool area.

I must confess to one thing though, one of the chocolate peanuts I had fell in the pool, but that would have melted and left just a peanut :blah: :lol:

[StoneChucker]

Ignore, duplicate of previous post

[Milky]

T'was a decent event all in all... Strange as it may seem, I was just starting to enjoy myself again when we were pulling into tokaanu. Maybe it was the water in my boots and pants finally heating up, or my core temp reducing to that of the rain ;) Coming back was better weather wise, leaving me wishing that we had swapped the ride routes around. Murphy's law I guess...
If I wasnt so damn tired, I might have got around to meeting more of you there. If you are in doubt as to who I was, think whiter than White Trash and you should have me figured out.
Looking foward to the next KB rally, maybe later on in summer this time?

[Firefight]

finally found sometime to read all about the weekend, great that we all had a good time, two breakdowns and a few minor repairs , no bins, thats great,

I have sobered up a bit now and will have to admit to being a part time banana man.. Rum and Bananas don,t mix.(next time No Bananas for me !!

I had the chicken and am sure thats why I was crook the next day, could not have been the rum !! :crazy:

Thanks to Bret and Paula and the all the other helpers, Big up to Toads for sticking with it on Saturday.. You did well :first:

Good to meet all you guys, glad everyone had a good time.

After we left you guys on Sunday we stopped for a bit of a feed and a cup of tea at Naragwhia, we just finished that when Johno called, he had a broken a clutch cable, so we got to use the trailer after all..

Can't wait for the next one.

Firefight :ride:

believe me the less said about the affects of the chicken the better but the awesome weather and great ride back made it all so worth it, it all seemed to get better as the day wore on although I'm still feeling a bit under the weather, I will never choose chicken as an option again

I was still in the pool around early time and I do recall someone finding a thing that looked like a goat do do. im sure the chocolate was still on it, otherwise it wouldnt have looked like a goat do do.
so tired Im not even going to try to make that sound reasonable. T-bone roked, but some like thiers not moo'ing. Cant please everyone just glad I didnt eat the chicken. Cheers spman for ordering that :D

Toads, I was wondering If you could pass on that link for the "Vibrator Pack" for the sims thingee ?? :banana: :yes:

[MadDuck]

To Quasi & Paula thank you so much!

What an awesome weekend and great organisation. To FF and KK and Nodman and partners. If you werent there we would have needed you. Thank the biker gods that we didnt. To the partners who braved coming a along - GOOD FOR YOU. Now you met the KBers maybe you will come along much more for rides and slow these buggers down - just a km or 2...ummmm

To those of you faster fellas...thank you for making the rally the success it was without the pressure of having to go fast.

Oh and shorted sheets not a problem for us short arses WT :) think we saved you from a dowsing too.

[Kwaka-Kid]

Quasi: The old man and i both got in there and cleaned the pool area out at around 7:30am. All bottles etc, sorry about the bottle cap and ciggy butt, next time i will try harder.

and whats the story about this chicken? sounds more like a bloody excuse for too much drinking the night before to me! as mine tasted the best ever and i admit to the only minor headache in the morning being due to steingrenades.

FF hope the real reason you werent on sooner did not involve punishment from your actions on saturday night, you deserved it anyway! After your antics on that night dude i understand what your trying to say with the whole banana thing, the little-boy-chasing part i cant help you with but bring your bike around sunday and ill have the yellow paint ready.

[aff-man]

Right i had better post about the awsome weekend that kinda ended in an anticlimax for me.
Got up waaaaaaaaaay to early on saturday and squeezed into my new (old) leathers. Set out in the cold. Started pisssind down as we left hamilton but for some odd reason i didn't even notice the rain . Had incredible amounts of fun trying sliding the bike around a bit but then disaster struck. Trying to change my visor i snapped one of the bolts. Luckily it didn't really need it at the time so after the change i set out after the other who had left about 5-10 mins before. It was kinda fun slowly catching some of the tail enders and i found myself pushing pretty hard for the wet. Filled up last at the next stop and found myself playing catch up again.

Managed to get to the place in one piece and man those hotpools were great had a good meal a couple of drinks and met some great people.

Woke up on sunday to a beautifull day and thinkin hmmmm this is going to be great. I started out setting a pretty good pace for myself (not nearly as fast as some of you others aye :eek: :eek: ) but about lunch time things all went pear shaped. Throttling up on one of the straights i had a little incident that made me think i was going to go home in an ambulance. For no reason at all i experienced a full lock tank slapper. because i was still going in a straight line while the bars were swinging from one extreme to the other the front wheel started locking up. (all this happining at about 180km/h). I somehow managed to hold it together and other than some sore wrists and a minor hear attack i was ok. The bike on the otherhand was not. The front end started feeling a bit funny and about 50km out of hamilton the bearing started making a grinding noise. But wait there is more. I decided to try and make it back to auckers and get it all sorted on monday. Filled up at narawahia set off with a group of riders but 200m past the gas station changing into second the clutch snapped. Well that was it!!! i called FF and put the bike on a traier and went home!!!!!.

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend despite the minor difficulties especially to quasi for organising and mr and mrs FF for taking my sorry ass home. :buggerd: :killingme :killingme

[Ms Piggy]

Well that was it!!! i called FF and put the bike on a traier and went home!!!!!. Bummer mate. Hope you can get the bike up and running again soon. :niceone:

[Zapf]

1 broken head light cover.... $35 dollars
1 rear flairing with badly scratched paint work $xxx dollars
36 Liters of petrol $45 dollars.

having a weekend with awesome rides and people ... priceless.

thanks to Quasi and all of you who were there. It was great fun....

now I need to get a bigger bike! :eek:



Oh and watch out for those RJay seat bags, I have like 5 gougues on my rear paint work from the straps and the bag itself..... :spudwhat: aya... what to do!

[Slipstream]

....did people see the pool going from _clear_ to murky, or was that just me?
I'm hoping that was just beer and not people ignoring WT's public announcements... :blink: :eek5:

[MikeL]

....did people see the pool going from _clear_ to murky, or was that just me?


Now about that dodgy chicken...

Some thoughts are best left unspoken.


:puke:

[bungbung]

It is purely concidental that the chicken-eaters had high alcohol consumption

(but that couldn't have made them feel ill)

(nor could the alcohol account for the change in colour of the pool water)

[Motoracer]

(nor could the alcohol account for the change in colour of the pool water)
Ohhhhh, dude I was diping my head under the water... :puke:

Well I had both a high alcohol content . :Oops: ... and the chicken .... and felt fine the next day :bleh: ... apart from the hay fever giving the sneezes for about half an hour :doh: ... so I'm not convinced the chook was bad .... :sly: mind you the heinekens might have sterilised my insides or else I've been eating my own cooking for years and am immune to that kind of shit !! .... :lol:

I know I am thinking I need a bike with a bit more get up and go too. cheers L

[Uncle B]

Thanks to the Quasievil's for a well organised do, & thanks to the suppliers of the prizes.
Had a great weekend & now I can put some faces to some names.
Well done CSL & Jaz for having no misshaps on the way up in such testing conditions.
Thanks to Dave & Lisa for being the support vehicles.
Cheers to BungBung, MrMelon & Velox (girl you make that 250 rock) for a well earned blast over the Parapara's.
Cheers to everyone
If there's another rally....I'm in. :2thumbsup

[StoneChucker]

& Velox (girl you make that 250 rock)
You better believe it sista :killingme She was stuck to my ass the whole way up the Rimutakas a while back, I was very suprised and impressed. Ok, I had no trouble pulling away on the straights, but she made up all that time on the corners. It just goes to show, it's not what you ride, how you ride it!

:beer:

we didn't have the pleasure of seeing her ride back to welly, but what we did see left an impression and inspired me to spend more time on my bike, I wanna ride like that!!awesome stuff, nice one velox

[White trash]

Yeah I seen ol' Velox down the carpark on a Thurs night. Rolling stoppies, wheelies. burnouts. All good stuff.

Maybe it was my drunken imagination......

[duckman]

Is she a good looking bride?? :killingme



Sorry :weep:
Hahahaha - What the hell would I do with two wives ..... uh wait a minute ...... Nah, Ones enough thanks.. :killingme

[Posh Tourer :P]

My photos are going into the gallery now...

[Velox]

Yeah I seen ol' Velox down the carpark on a Thurs night. Rolling stoppies, wheelies. burnouts. All good stuff.

Oh yeah mate - rolling stoppies down the whole of Port Road eh!!! Last Thursday we left the 'superbikes' sprawling at the lights as the mighty 250 "thundered" off down the road at 290kmph. (NB I'm often told my bike sounds like a sewing machine, hence the irony).

[aff-man]

it sounded pretty mighty when you left on sunday. We could hear you tearing up the road :2thumbsup

[Motoracer]

Last Thursday we left the 'superbikes' sprawling at the lights as the mighty 250 "thundered" off down the road at 290kmph.
On the back wheel? ;)

Of course. :sly: (That reminds me, I better go tighten that wheelie bar for tomorrow night).

Wasnt it 205mph?? :doobey:

[Coldkiwi]

So the next question is - HOW MANY PEOPLE GOT THE FLU THIS WEEK???

I didn't have the chicken but i think wet boots for two days didn't help. Feeling average on Monday and very sorry for myself Tuesday-Thursday.. only got back today.

I know KK and MR are also a bit under the weather - anyone else paying for not wearing a wetsuit?

No flu here, or food posoning or a hang over :niceone: and I was even partaking of the slightly odd but addictive fejoia vodka.

[StoneChucker]

the slightly odd but addictive fejoia vodka
Was that the stuff being handed around in the silver hip flask? If it was, then it tasted like someone had drained a little bit of fuel from all the tanks in the bike shed :sick:

No flu, food poisoning or hangover (I woke at 6am, slight headache, which some water quickly fixed)

Did have a slight feeling of :disapint:

[badlieutenant]

you just put down one of the best vodkas in the world and its made here in NZ. *mutter mutter*
I was 99% dri at the end of the ride :D so at a guess the kitchen got its revenge for quasi sticking it too them........... :stoogie:

[V Twin Raver]

I know KK and MR are also a bit under the weather - anyone else paying for not wearing a wetsuit?

How would KK get the flu from the ride?? From memory he spent his time in a nice dry van..............oh thats right he spent approx 15 mins of the tour RIDING a bike...........when it was drizzling..........of course.........silly me.

On tuesday I had a sore throat like typically happens before I get a cold, but its gone now. I reckon it was just due to getting too cold and wet on saturday and lack of sleep.

[vifferman]

So, all you people have bought the nonsense propagated on TV and movies, that if you get cold and wet, you somehow pluck a virus out of somewhere and get sick? :blink:

You get viruses from other people with them, whether directly (contact, breathing in their germs, sticking your tongue down their throat), or indirectly (touching something an infected person has touched, then eating something or touching your own eyes, nose or mouth).

If you think could get cold or flu viruses (not the same things, BTW) from getting cold and/or wet, do you also believe you can get sexually-transmitted viruses from getting hot and bothered reading/watching porn? :laugh:

well the battering to my immune system almost certainly came from the rain and hard slog keeping up with MR when some people thought it could've been hailing.
The virus was probably from the kitchen but if you've got a better theory as to why all these people have the flu I'd love to hear it Dr Doolittle!

It was an orgy, wasn't it?

well jimbo wasn't there 'loving' himself into the pool, so I think it was more like a caring and sharing get-together that involved alcohol, a pool and partial nudity...hang on.... :pinch:

Like Devil said: It was an orgy (of germ-swapping, at least) :crazy:

[Motoracer]

Yep, its not from being cold, I have got the flu virus for sure. The light headedness I am getting can almost be comparied to being high.:wacko:

You mean, like up a mountain? :mellow:

[Coldkiwi]

ahh, yes, well the pool orgy might've been part of it... but I wasn't there (had a private spa earlier) and my wife didn't get it so what else is there?

I thought that there were viruses floating around all over the place (eg. from other people sneezing, coughing, touching stuff like you say) and that normally you don't get affected by them, but if you get too stressed from cold/lack of sleep/overwork, that your immune system can weaken making you susceptible to catching a cold or flu or whatever.
I think most people know that the cold and the flu are different, at least by the different symptoms/severity of illness.

[enigma51]

I got up for the first time today I had a fever of about 38 - 39 all week it only broke last night

[Posh Tourer :P]

I did everything except have vodka, and no flu... I even had chicken, and little sleep.. and little the next day.... stupid assignments..

BTW, all pics are finally in the gallery...

[Motoracer]

Ummm, yea... That's what meant.

[toads]

sorry to hear all you guys have been crook with the flu or whatever, I got the chicken thing, but no flu thankfully, although I felt a bit seedy for a few days, got bloody cold and wet on saturday, but no lasting effects after dethawing in the pools, damn, Pete and I missed the orgy! lol

[MadDuck]

no flu here - does that send the word out for eating read meat ah? Nuffin wrong with the teabone and breakfast was mighty fine. I just wish someone had told me I am getting a bit older and recovery takes a few hours more than when I was 18 dammit :angry2:

The chips for snacks in the sheets - well thats another story altogether. Someone will confess one day I guess

[Deano]

So the next question is - HOW MANY PEOPLE GOT THE FLU THIS WEEK???

:cold: I did. Had nothing to do with all the booze and pool larrakins until 3.30am either...... :spudwhat:

[Deano]

I cannot tell a lie - it was Hayden !! But in his defence we, I mean he was trying to get the troublesome trash twins.

Who you callin a larrakin, ya larrakin. I believe you were the one who kept suggesting jumping off different things, in different ways. :Punk:
Are you sure it was the flu?...coulda been one of them germs that goes up your nose that you were talking 'bout :P


I cannot tell a lie - it was Hayden !! But in his defence we, I mean he was trying to get the troublesome trash twins.

I would have been sweet with it, sometimes I get hungry after a lil woopy...

:killingme

[LB]

Sounds like you guys all had a great time - sorry I missed it. Will do my best to get to the next one!

[Deano]

Ermm...twins?....I'm pretty sure last time I checked I didn't have a goatee...or parental blood related???? Or is he my evil twin brother that I didn't know about? :confused:

As long as he doesn't yell "you're my sister you're my sister" like Joe Dirt... :Oops:

[Kwaka-Kid]

is he my evil twin brother that I didn't know about? :confused:

:bye:

[Marknz]

Okay, I've seen all the great pics and it looks like you had a great time... but I wanna know who is gonna own up to taking a leak in the pool?

:whistle:

[StoneChucker]

who is gonna own up to taking a leak in the pool?
A shorter list would be this: I DIDN'T take a leak in the pool :sweatdrop
But I can't vouch for anyone else, since I retreated reluctantly to bed rather early. Before I left, the temperature WAS rising steadily <_<

maybe the flu was on some of both sorts of meals with the sneezing in the kitchen entirely at random.................... :sick:
