Will be there tomorrow night for the final wed night ride. Just a thought, anyone thought about heading down to the Maha's on Sat evening? I believe it is an open invite but would need to pm 1st. I don't even know them but may have nothing better to do than make a nuisance of myself at someone elses house! They have cake!!!! It is part of the KB 5yr celebration and starts off at 6.00 with BBQ etc.

Not if we have to keep waiting for Gordie to turn up!

Laava
1st November 2007, 21:38
so we do it next week? Go Paparoa rd thru to Mangawhai and have a drink and bite to eat with the Mahas if they are free. Then SH1 prob back up north? Are we all keen to do a xmas thing too? So how does 15th Nov sound? Shortish ride then back to my place for a BBQ? Let me know next week. Also, if anyone is keen, we have a good view of the fireworks on Sat night.

RiderInBlack
2nd November 2007, 06:59
Will be busy next week and I think Muggins said that he will only be making every second ride (as will Blue Babe and I). Could we do that ride 15th Nov or the 29th Nov? BBQ at ya place sounds sweet for the 15th, so that would make the best day for Mangawhai for Blue Babe and me the 29th Nov.

Geez! I had to drag this thread back from page 3 kicking and screaming!
Might be an alright night tomorrow, Shame really, I need some rain to wash all the dust off the bike. Looks like I did the postie challenge. Anyone else up for Sat ride with the Maha's et all?
I assume we are still having a xmas BBQ next week so correct me if I'm wrong. It will be at 37a Anzac Rd, right in town, and we have lots of parking for bikes inside and loads of covered sausage eating area. I guess it would be fair to bring a plate, so if anyone wants to drop stuff off before the ride, that will be cool. Also have beds for anyone who wants or needs it. Be nice if we can have some idea of who will make it.
Any KBers in the area are welcome along too, including the far north lot of course! Usual ride at 6.00 from Maunders then back here I guess?:apint:

By Thursday I'll need this ride and BBQ.
Work Van has broken an oil ring:doh: and I'm madly trying ta organise another motor for it. The van had a 4Y Toyota petrol in it and I have been informed that a 3Y will bolt up in to it. Have found a 3Y which I hope will do for $400 and am aiming ta get it out to the van this arvo. Having ta do the job myself because no shop will be able ta touch it until next week. I can't afford that lost of work time (can't really afford ta do what I am doing now, but will have ta wear it anyway).
Why is it that just when I am getting close ta replacing "Roxanne" stuff like this keeps coming along ta f*ck things up?
Need a better job. Anything going in Whangarei?

I need "One Whiskey, One Bourbon, and One Beer".

See ya Dudes and Dudettes Thursday:niceone:

Yep next weekend. Will be going ta that.

Thanks ta all those that offered ta help with shifting. Totally awesome help from Laava and TIE:not::not: All shifted before 9am Friday. Will be unpacking for a while afterwards though.

Thought ya Dudes were taking the p*ss when ya told me "Roxanne's" sprocket was down ta points. Was horrified to find out this morning ya weren't (and so embarrassed:o). That's the worse I have seen on any of my bikes. Must have happened quick cause I swear it wasn't that bad a week or two ago. Have new chain and sprockets on order. If I'm lucky they will be here Tomorrow, so I can feel safe riding Sunday. Thanks for the heads-up Dudes:2thumbsup

Thank you from me too:first: Was all unpacked & put away by about 3pm, except for the computer & TV, which I left to Doug :innocent: He had to go out to work for a while:bye: We'll organise a house warming/BBQ some time, once we know we are staying put. This is No.4 in 1yr & for me No.9 in four yrs so I don't want to put the mockers on a party if we have to move again so soon.

Replaced the Chain and Sprockets yesterday so that I could ride today only ta see that "Roxanne's Tyres are a bit worn out:slap:So with it drizzling, I'm going ta have ta skip riding today (Bugger).

Looked in my Dairy to find I've got 17,800miles (28,700km) out of the last chain & sprockets, so not too bad for a medium to cheap set.

Last set of Z6 tyres were 5,400miles (8,700km) ago, so not the 10,000km I have got out of them before but I am running 2-up more often now. Have set of Z6's wait for me at Planet Honda ($550 for the pair fitted) so will sort that after the Weekend so that I'm set for next Thursday (I hope).

Finger nail tapping. SIGH. :oi-grr:

Shit, I've even given all (and I mean ALL) my leathers a good dosing with nikwax, so they're all nice and soft and waterproof. :rolleyes: Oh well, buying a new TTR250 in the next few days, so at least I'll be able to blat around on the dirt, if nothing else... :) ...and a TTR50 for my 4yo - so he can come out with big bro (7) on his PW80 - and mum has an XT225 to keep her going until I get her Bandit fixed...

That is one cool ride, we did it one year, I was on my GN. Was running a tad late and arrived after the roads had been closed. We cruised up the service lanes behind the shops until we got close to the paraqde line up. A security bloke allowed us to join up :2thumbsup

So we crossed the footpath through the crowd and landed fair and square at the front of the parade, here we were, 2 sprots bikes and a little old GN amongst all the hairy, black leather clad, Harley bikers at the front :o

Went up to Mangonui to gorge on fresh snapper then up to Coopers and back down around the Matauri Bay Rd. Stopped again at Keri for a mungus [I'm already a chubby buddy!] then home for a bourbon and spa. Yay!!!! Kittie, do you want me to PM you next time or any time?

What was the road like Doug? Havent done that loop in ages. Hukerenui is a good back up too, would have been an awesome evening good on you guys.
Got a new set of Pilot Powers on the 14 yesterday after doing 12,200kms on the first set, Im pretty pleased with that effort but oh its bloody nice having proper tyres on again.

How you guys got 12,500km out of tyres is beyond me!:eek: Yep Im pretty pleased with myself. Chris is fussy about constantly checking tyre pressures and adjusting them for the appropriate days riding. Im also extremely smooth on the throttle, which I think helps a lot.
Will be great to catch up next time Im up.
Know what you mean Doug about the beach hoppers. Mt Maunganui and the Coromandel are areas to be avoided this time of the year. Bring on March, conditions are perfect then.

would have been better if 3 of us didnt lose the rest of them. but the pizza barn was definately the place to be for some reason. it was packed. food pricey but ok. great place for me being so close to kaiwaka.
but a huge thanks for Mike ( the muggins ) Maunder for bring out 4 yes 4 test Bikes.
bandit, gsxr1000k7 or is it an 8?, same with the Hyabusa looking hot, and the B King. so alot of fun was had by many, and i do believe their was an advocate writer on the run so this thursday or next thursday's paper look out on the motoring section. could be world famous in northland.

wont be able to make this thursday's ride will be planning on camping at uretiti beach for a week. but hope to make next thursday. if anyone is in the area im sure ill have an ale about, just give me heaps of warning.
have a wonderful ride.
