Northland Thursday Night Ride.

[Korumba]

Bit too Nipply for me tonight, Have a good ride if anyone goes.



We need to organize a ride during the weekend sometime, Haven’t done Russell Road for a while.

[Maha]

1, me in a costa town north of LA, i wasnt allowed to drive as i had lost my licence. so i was a passenger 50cc engine was not too bad.
2.a place called Barstow, im sorry but what a dump. but lots of desert.
3.me inside a real roadside diner.
4.this is a mountain in the desert with snow on it????????

Dang! did you eat all that food oi???....:rolleyes:
Love the side by side riding styles :hug:..seems you do too, i can tell by the look on ya face....meke lid too mate!....:2thumbsup

[Mom]

2.a place called Barstow, im sorry but what a dump. but lots of desert.


OMG!!! I have stayed a night in Barstow!!! Only one mind you.

Even eaten there!

Service sucked so badly I left a penny tip for the chick that served us. Ordinarily I am easy to get along with, however, this waitress was a surley, gum chewing, shrew, who managed to put 80% of my food in my lap as she served it to the table. Must have had domestic/hormone problems I am guessing.

Barstow! Who would have thought! LOL

Thought I was busted for sure, but fortunately he had someone else already! 2 beers down, no license on me and busting for a piss, that's all I would have needed!

Cool pics Brendon, looks like a really awesome spot. So, Kiwibiker is going international now, how do we spell that in American?

[RiderInBlack]

Gutted and pissed off with myself. Dropped "Zena" in town last night after Ten Pin Bowling with the Orthopaedic Nurses Last Night. Idiot. Rev'ed "her" up leaving and hit a greasey spot. Back tyre broke loose. Slow highside. And down she went. Hole in left engine cover. Dent and marks in Tank. Cracked Bikini Fairing as well as the usual scratches. I'm OK. Pride hurt more than the body. Worse bit is having dropped the bike in front of my new work colleges. They must think I'm an arse.

[Korumba]

Bugger mate...let me know what parts you need, may be able to get them cheap here, and Fedex them out my Brother gets a real good deal on freight.

[Korumba]

What an amazing place, it’s a lot like South Westland in New Zealand. But think that millions of times bigger, with even bigger Mountains, Valleys Glaciers etc

The Wildlife is amazing I saw Bears catch spawning Salmon, a baby Moose drinking from a pond on the side of the road, my Brother had a conference in Anchorage and one of the guys came down from Prudhoe Oil field (the start of the Alaskan pipeline) and said they just had a heard of 30,000 Caribou pass through.

I rented a Bike 08 KLR650 and rode from Anchorage to Valdez (the end of the pipline) 500odd km each way was real cool.
They go real well this one seemed a bit restricted it topped out about 95mph and the front did not want to come up by itself.

I am back in Seattle and looking for a bike to buy.

[Laava]

Cool! Looks like an awesome place, that's my next destination sorted then! Have fun!

Big congratulations Andrew, you look very happy. Great to see Brendon in them pics too, (hope you explained not all Kiwi's are like that though :buggerd:) Looking forward to meeting your lovely lady soon. Always a bed at our place if you want to give her a bit of a NZ tour.

Have a great trip mate....

[mugins]

How's yours going Brendon I see you made the wedding.Yes looking forward to the trip ,hasn't been much fun getting things ready l must say.Hope to go through Yoshi factory in L.A if all goes well and the big uk drag bike nats while there too so have abit planned, but mostly just see what happens as we go .:apint:

[Korumba]

Loving every minute of it,, costing heaps more than expected only getting 70 cents in the dollar, .here is a map of where I have been so far + Alaska 700 miles on a KLR 650 was so cool.

[RiderInBlack]

PM shift for me this Thursday so won't be there again:bye:
"Zena" is back together. Just waiting on the foot pegs and tank badges now. Hope ta take "her" down ta Triple Zee Cycles in Dorkland next week to get "her" Teka Tuned. It uses the CPU already in Suzuki Bikes but has 5 settings instead of the 3 Yoshi has. Cheaper than getting a Power Commander (been quoted $180-$240 for it ta be done), but has less settings. Will see how that goes as I don't think I need ta go as far as a Power Commander.

GN is coming along very slowly due to insufficient funds. Also have tried to get Jo to sand and paint the frame to no good end! Has anyone noticed the tag line "hairy nipples". What is that all about? Don't know where Muggins is, haven't been to the shop for some time.
edit; Jo has a problem with me using her name and "hairy nipples" in the same paragraph!!!! ??? Bloody frame sanders are all the same!

[T.I.E]

its a hard road finding the perfect frame sander mate.
but she has a good point.

and ive had two GN's just remember they dont like going over 135.

although an amazing learner bike. so easy to ride. and they must be a classic by now. wall of frame material.

Went past T.I.E's corner today heading home from Russell and when we got to Mokau there was a horse accident.

Shame you missed the address, we Had an awesome night. Head wasn't too bad on Sat for the ride down to Auckland to look at some bikes for me & then onto Waitomo. Awesome weekend. Only thing spoiled it was that my daughters car windows were smashed out early sunday morning by thugs, Bastards!!. Oh yeah & the rain set in late Sunday arvo.

Hi guys, well beautiful weather up here today. Sorry havent managed to catch up with most of you but busy with family stuff, is my Christmas visit. Rest assured all the x Norfland crew defected to Tga are well and out there doing their motorcycling thing. Hope to get a ride in tomorrow with young Michael as I head south tomorrow and might try to catch up with Mom and Maha.
Enjoy your holidays everyone, and as I have a month off at Christmas will be tempted for any Norfland rides going, might just drag a few of the Tga poser crew along too...

[colonel]

im kind of glad i must say, the summer was a real blistering heat, now the winter is here and allready the temp has been dropping. 120f in summer and now the days or night rather are seeing late 30'sf. in degrees celcuis (which makes sense to me) summer high's upto +40 degrees and a winter low expected to be -10 degrees. records have been 42 in summer and -17 in winter.
but just t show you all, the hills about where i live, snow snow snow.

and yay my work permit is through, so im off to find a job.
1 year off work has killed the bankaccount for sure and the weak new zealand dollar.

but im thinking whe i get the right job, home first for a visit in june then a bike, dual purpose, or something like a ST1300. hmmmm we will see.

hope you guys are doing well back home. weather must be warming up.

[RiderInBlack]

Weather is looking good. Last Thursday Night ride for the year (next Thursday is Christmas). I'm running in a new Honda Hornet 600 for Planet Honda (Zena is getting serviced:rolleyes:), so ya might see us on that instead of Zena.
Had a CBF250 tuesday. What a laugh. Felt soooo small. I looked like a Clown on a small Clown bike, LOL.

[RiderInBlack]

For those of us that made it (The Colonel, Dargie Mike, Blue Babe & me) it was an awesome ride. The 2008 Honda Hornet was a breeze to ride (even two-up). Very sweet around the corners. An ideal second bike for those just stepping up from their first bike. Very easy to ride and very forgiving (not too bad looking ether). Thanks ta Planet Honda for loaning me this bike while "Zena" is getting serviced.

Thanks for that Doug, ill keep that on the list.
ive been thinking that i need something for back home when i come back, wish it was a bike, but thinking it may be a car. maybe i should buy something here and ship it back, just something small to ride about on when im back home. nothing smaller than a 600. (no comments please)
what was the price on the bike doug? and from the pillion stand point was it comfortable?

[RiderInBlack]

what was the price on the bike doug? and from the pillion stand point was it comfortable?Will get Mike from Planet ta post a price on one for ya (there should be a demo one nicely ran it for ya there:msn-wink:). Two day play ok. Blue Babe was happy back there, and wasn't to high up (defintely didn't effect my riding having her behind). Might be a bit hard on the longer hauls for the pillion. Ya would notice a drop in power from the SV1000 on the straighter sections and during passing, but ooh so smooth in the cornering (even two up:2thumbsup). I'd have one as a commuter/solo day-play bike any day. All most sad having ta give it back to Planet today.

[mugins]

No riding for me, farm manager's on holiday,4;00am starts8:00pm finsihes.Ian , Mike,and my self went to the Suzuki track day along with 4 others from norland ,great weather we all had a ball (Ian still recoving) Ian even had a go at the Drags on the friday night, Well it's the silly season up here so keep it safe and the right way up.

[RiderInBlack]

Will get Mike from Planet ta post a price on one for ya (there should be a demo one nicely ran it for ya there:msn-wink:). All most sad having ta give it back to Planet today. Borrowed again while getting my tyres changed:msn-wink: RRP $16,000 at the moment for a brand new 2008 Honda Hornet 600.
