[NZsarge]

yEP IVE GOT MY FULL my bike is on trade me and had a look at a kawasaki er6 today - it was lovely.

Nice work. :niceone: If you could see your way into a ER6 I think that'd be a pretty good choice, nice bikes.

[NZsarge]

I have a suggestion for the first FNR, the predictable but also very good and classic ride of V. Hill and back through Halcome.
Just a suggestion, build up the anticipation and so forth...

Marvelous! :yes: Where did you look at the ER6? I've kept an eye on TM, not too many around in your price range it seems. There is this one which looks very tidy :yes:

[NZsarge]

[slydesigns]

kawasaki riders are sheep

Indeed, point taken and I have to agree actually.

[retired motoman]

[Clubbie]

Has a date been set? Or is the plan - first fine Friday post daylight savings kick off?

[cowboyz]

[chanceyy]

hey whats is up with this Reputation you can give out? how does that work?

the Scales icon at the top right of each post, you can positively or negatively rep someone

however if you want to red rep someone generally bear in mind the person receiving could give it back in spades.

importantly rep is not to be used abuse members and is moderated upon

Rep gains points that do not actually mean anything however you can read about rep & other stuff under site rules :)

Edit:as per banditriders link above :laugh:

[sparkles]

oooo i c now thanks

now i can start giving yaaaaaa

[86GSXR]

nope. gave the track and saddle a bit of a serve today though.

You gave me a serve as well :niceone:


oooo i c now thanks

Great! Give me some :D

[Owl]

But you can trade them for pies at a later date right?:blink:

hehhehehhe. shhhhhhh.. notice you only make me look bad when others are around to see it!

fun road though.. cateyes are not your friend!


But you can trade them for pies at a later date right?:blink:

You damn better be able to! What have I been saving up for all this time???

[Owl]

You damn better be able to! What have I been saving up for all this time???

Mint slice if I was to hazard a guess?:whistle:

Was looking at this one...
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=240700969

[ynot slow]

When I grow up I'm buying a Triumph,a Kwaka will kill me,and Triumphs' have 3 cylinders so obviously can't be too powerful can they?

And the fact Cowboyz hasn't killed his after the km he's done says shitloads for reliability.

[Meanie]

Just passed my full.
Yaaaaaaaay

Congrats..........................

[kudos@xtra.co.nz]

[dogsnbikes]

And because its mobile it may not be there Can you keep up with the gas station or will you be last one ready like normal:yes:

[86GSXR]

This year it will be different, just you wait and see :rockon: Hey Baz, what's going on with your license?

[Bonez]

And the fact Cowboyz hasn't killed his after the km he's done says shitloads for reliability.He has replaced a "fatiqued" few bits:innocent: Seriuosly, he's had a brill run alright.

Simon got his sorted yet? Last count was 1001 rectifiers I think.

[Owl]

Simon got his sorted yet? Last count was 1001 rectifiers I think.

Well he replaced one 12 days ago and all seemed mint!:laugh:

[Bonez]

We as part of the Manawatu KB brotherhood ok personhood to be PC will hold you too that or:bash:you

As for the licence Specialist told me 12 months :crybaby:from date of blackout so I think we should hold a special friday night ride on friday the 11th of june 2010:cold:

Haven't recieved anything oficcial as off yet but am expecting too may get in touch with Carmen and see what the go is......

Any chance another specialist can give his opinion and lessen the time.Not suggesting anything dodgy,but another specialists opinion may advise 6 months is ok.Only thing is getting second opinion on the cheap.

wouldn't matter who I saw they all use the same LTNZ guidelines.....if I didn't have the Adnormal brain pattern(due hanging out with townies and too many lattes):crazy: it would be 6 months

Rubbish it's the mentality that Triumph make good bikes:2guns:and the combo of coffees with said owners.3 cylinders in bike is like 5 cylinders in a car,either way 1 to many or 1 to less.

Still a bugger to have to wait,and with summer hopefully arriving soon.Stupid phrases about health being everything doesn't help at times.

I have now recognised the fact that when other helmets and gloves start to go on and engines start then it is my cue to stop talking shit and do the same :p

I second the idea of a special FNR! It'll be damn good to see you back on the steed!!! Maybe we won't stop for a latte tho!

[86GSXR]

Not long now :woohoo:

Which reminds me, I was at Ashhurst Mobil last Sunday and they were almost out of stock, had no 95 and the guys told me they were closing this week. Anyone know if they are open tomorrow, and if so, do they have fuel?

[cowboyz]

the good stuff

Just talking to the owner of Ashhurst mobil station (or mobile for some)

The servo will be open and have 3000L of 96 tomorrow night. So make sure you get in before the big tourers fill up

Then will be closed for 5-6 weeks starting sunday and will reopen with 96 on every pump (yay!)

So see you all tomorrow night!

Sweet!

I've been reading somewhere on KB that ZX9's are tourers... :laugh:

Then will be closed for 5-6 weeks starting sunday and will reopen with 96 on every pump (yay!)

Re-opening? Odd... but all good then

So see you all tomorrow night!

Yeah, see ya... If it's not...

..........

[Owl]

It's not compulsory you know!:laugh:

[Owl]

Right, I better go and clean my bike then. I saw at least a half dozen bugs on the front.:laugh:

[Maha]

So see you all tomorrow night!


Make sure you rush (I mean at the speed limit) back and cook me some eggs.

[Flynn]

Hmmm only 35 for me, what am I missing out on:whistle:

Ya wanna lend me a few, cowboyz:Oops:

Looking forward to tomorrow night, plan any one?

[zahria]

Well, I thought I'd better test the bike, to make sure it's ok for tomorrow... so popped over Vinegar Hill, into Bulls for Kebabs (Jabies Donner Kebabs, best I've ever had sober) and back home.
The bikes ok!:2thumbsup

[Bren]

Sheesh, had I known there were friday night rides in the Mana I would have definately ridden up!!!!!:weep:

My bike is down souf feeling lonely!:whistle:

[KiwiKat]

Will be good to see you out and about on that red beast.:2thumbsup

Looking forward to catching up with some of the couch potatoes..
Remember newbies are welcome on these rides. Look after them :hug: and ride safe.

[sparkles]

so what time does this start :innocent:

[zahria]

so what time does this start :innocent:

[ynot slow]

Hmmm only 35 for me, what am I missing out on:whistle:

Ya wanna lend me a few, cowboyz:Oops:

Looking forward to tomorrow night, plan any one?

All this talk of demerits got me thinking(yeah,yeah)I knew I had dropped 20 and had 20 left,knew ticket was got around October.Turns out they go on 4th October,back to zilch touch wood.That 2 years just flies(tui anyone)even with only 40 it only took another less than 20km(both were for +14km over)to get to 60 or more points.Having said that the radar detector in the car has worked a few times,mostly in 50 and 70km zones.

[NZsarge]

Weather update when appropriate please, not looking that flash atm...:yawn:

[Owl]

Weather update when appropriate please, not looking that flash atm...:yawn:

[NZsarge]

Or tomorrow! Had blue sky an hour ago, but it's clagged in big time and looking very much like rain.:crybaby:

Hmm, thought as much! We'll see what up at about 4 o'clockish

[86GSXR]

Warm front crossing the region today. It may or may not be gone by tonight. Last years first ride was a bit damp but still good fun.

[Flynn]

Weather update when appropriate please, not looking that flash atm...:yawn:

IT'S HOSING DOWN AT THE MO!!:weep::crybaby:

[cowboyz]

its not raining now. might be a bit of a dizzle but still .. its friday!!

(maybe a short one over the track??)

[NZsarge]

Well we have overcast with a breeze but no rain so far... May set set out on the bike later and see what I run into weather wise..

[Flynn]

Yeah its stopped at the mo, not looking promising, but I won't be missing it. See ya at 6.:2thumbsup

[Meanie]

Woo hoo the suns out :woohoo:

[slydesigns]

...and then it disappears again...

[NZsarge]

Woo hoo the suns out :woohoo:


...and then it disappears again...

Well, that's a whole lot better than rain.. At least it's trying aye.

[cowboyz]

3hours and counting

[NZsarge]

3hours and counting

Funny, the sun has just popped out here too and it looks kinda blue over Dannevirke, well from what I can see from the valley anyway.. Fingers crossed.

[Bren]

fark ya all a bunch of softies:oi-grr:.....It aint snowin is it? Us cantabs are a bit harder aye...if only I brought my bike up and then i could show ya how we do it down south:whistle:

lol

[86GSXR]

I did the South Pole on a Vespa once, with an open face helmet. This is nothing! Not looking too bad out there at all :woohoo:

[NZsarge]

fark ya all a bunch of softies:oi-grr:.....It aint snowin is it? Us cantabs are a bit harder aye...if only I brought my bike up and then i could show ya how we do it down south:whistle:

lol

Heh heh, does look a bit weak aye but it's like there are dozens of friday night ride coming up so may as well pick the good weather, y'know it's a weekly social event, bit like a soap opera, you might miss this week but you'll soon catch up the following week...

[slydesigns]

and I've done my fair share of wet MX races, road riding in the rain just doesn't excite me and I'm not sure why it should...

Oh, its raining over NZP/LINTON/Massey way again...

I'll show up for the meet but may blouse on the ride depending on direction and rain

[86GSXR]

Ahh, bloody showers coming through now. At least it's warm. We'll see how it is later on. Yep, like rides through the hourglass........

[Owl]

I did the South Pole on a Vespa once, with an open face helmet. This is nothing! Not looking too bad out there at all :woohoo:

I thought you were a Rocker, not a Mod!:laugh:

[cowboyz]

If ya not coming cause a bit of water you havent got the point of the ride.

New rider coming too.. My sister on her wannabe harley thing. Its big.. its loud and I bet 86 sits on it.

[sarahtvet]

Woo hoo the suns out :woohoo:

Well it was :lol:

Won't make the ride tonight, venison steaks and wine calling :2thumbsup

Made up for it this arvo when at first it was pouring down (Palmie to Bulls) and then after a mocha with one of the Harley Fatpack the sun did shine and the 3V's did beckon:ride:

Had my first tank slapper ( I hope my last) on the turn onto Turakina Valley Road, too fast and not respecting white lines and water enough. Tightened my gluteals, kept the power on as I have been advised and did a little praying :lol:
All good :sunny:
Turakina Valley, Fordell Valley and Vinegar hill 90 minutes of heaven and dry roads. Very few slips or nasty surprises. Highly recommend for a good group of twisties with minimal gravel. Only met a little shower as I got to Palmie

Hope all who ride tonight have a fun time :2thumbsup

[sarahtvet]

Oh yeah, happy birthday to me and here I sit in my bed with a bloddy gut ache...That extra year has fucked me I do beleive lol

Sorry to have missed the party sure it would have been a wild one. Hippo Bday Mr Taylor :2thumbsup

[chanceyy]

Ahh, bloody showers coming through now. At least it's warm. We'll see how it is later on. Yep, like rides through the hourglass........

hmm just back home from afternoon pootle .. skiffy showers that did not wet much, Kanny has arrived from Hamilton ready for tomorrow run & bbq. Bit gusty out in the open but surprising how quick the roads dried out .. :)

anyhow get it out of the way now so morrow is a pearler (fingers crossed .. meh be riding regardless)

[banditrider]

A little bit wild out there but enough to blow the cobwebs out. Sorry I didn't hang around and attempt to be social. Keen to get back into the warm and work on killing this damn cold.

PS: windier on the way back but the fog was gone. No rain at all!

[86GSXR]

Excellent night chaps and chapesses :yes: Good to see the new faces out and the old ones still on form. See ya's tomorrow :rockon:

[zahria]

Good fun, might trade the VTR in on a RG150!

[ynot slow]

Excellent night chaps and chapesses :yes: Good to see the new faces out and the old ones still on form. See ya's tomorrow :rockon:

Thought of going out,then daughter wanted jumper start for her car at 5.30ish.

Was excuse not to go on ride,but no rain around,just wind enough to be a nuisance.

Ah well plenty of summer left.

[slydesigns]

hopefully i'll have a long enough extension lead sorted for next friday..

[cowboyz]

nice ride over the track. good to see a bunch out. tip of the day.. locking nuts should be locked.

then drinks with maha(no man) and Mom. Tip of the night - stay away from sparklers

[Dadpole]

So that WAS you horrible lot that cruised past my place - while i was having fun (not) trying to fry myself with some rewiring.

[cowboyz]

[Dadpole]

'Twould be on the track

[KiwiKat]

'Twould be on the track

NIce to see you rise again, been quiet there. Maybe catch up on next weeks ride.

[Flynn]

Excellent fang last night, yes as been said the ride home was more sideways than the ride over:sick:.

[road king]

wasnt a bad ride last night, had a lil 'fun' with my chain tho. asked someone with a single sided swingarm to show me how to tighten it in pahiatua, that went well, chain damn near fell off on the ride home:bash:


tip of the day.. locking nuts should be locked.

[Dadpole]

NIce to see you rise again

Dadpole Rising - Has rather a sinister ring to it.
The bike is in dry dock while I sort out my smoking problem. Hopefully just valve guides. Top gear is noisy too so it is a full pull down and rebuild. I hope to be on the road again by the end of the month and terrify you all one Friday night.

[Meanie]

Nice way to start the FNR,s no rain and lots of bikes
Last years first one was mostly the same ride, opposite direction and shit loads of rain if i remember correctly, so a good start

[KiwiKat]

A nice first Friday night ride.:woohoo: missing a few of the old school (softees). Pity about the wind on the way back but everyone survived, so its all good.

[NZsarge]

Hope like hell the weather is like this on friday... to scared to look..:lol:

[Meanie]

I hope so too Sarge.
I see they are ripping out the tanks at the mobil already, the whole forecourt is fenced off so we will have to gather round the side by the mechanics bay for a while
Fill up before heading out everyone, theres no gas out here now untill the new tanks go in

[86GSXR]

Thank God they are getting new tanks and not closing down permanantly! That place is in one handy location if I do say so myself. Even if I have to travel to get to the centre of the universe it's always good to get that personal service from the friendly folk at the Ashhurst Mobil. Hmmmm, I sound like an ad.

[Owl]

Are they still going to be a Mobil (not mobile), or is there a change planned?

[cowboyz]

nope.. mobile has deemed not worthy of the centre of the universe. new stream of orange on the way

[sparkles]

we should meet at caltex in woodville till ashhurst reopens

Nope not when most of us come from Palmy side, and we dont always ride over that way. Sometimes we go out West.

Ashhurst is still the best place to meet, you will just have to be an organised male. :pinch:

You must new to these rides

:niceone: this lot have never known where a FNR is going 48hours before they leave....thats the best part of a FNR never know where you will end up or who you will end up with:rolleyes:

[86GSXR]

Very nasty forecast from this afternoon. Sundays Wellie ride should be a minter tho!

[Owl]

Bugger, I've got to ride this arvo. WOF time again:(

[slydesigns]

looking at the wet outside I'm guessing most are flagging the ride tonight?

[NZsarge]

looking at the wet outside I'm guessing most are flagging the ride tonight?

Well I am. maybe next week..

[86GSXR]

Yep, it won't improve anytime soon ..........

[sparkles]

so who is going?

[dogsnbikes]

Its good Scottish weather here more straight down rather than coming in from the side...wear your raincoats

[slydesigns]

Me and Maria both rode to work, so by the time we get home we would have had enough fun in the rain I think. We'll just have to entertain ourselves with who can do the longest powerslide under the flyover bridge near Massey and the best front wheel lockup on the white arrows at the lights down Fitzherbert. I'm sure Pulga, the dog, will love that on the back of her bike!

Maria usually wins too.:nono:

Power Ones and Cut Slicks just dont mix with wet streets... enjoy who ever does go out...

[86GSXR]

I washed the Daytona today, then went for a ride in the rain. It was quite fun although I nearly binned on a corner. Time for a new front tyre I think. Gave the bike a good wipe down when I got home, so she'll stay in the shed tonight.

[Owl]

Ah, just got home and bike is back in the garage tucked away, so I won't be riding anywhere further in this shite.:no:

Got the WOF though!:woohoo:

[slydesigns]

Definitely a Gokart racing and Pool playing night I think

... and yeah, I'm stalling before committing top heading home on the bike in this crap. I'm not gonna miss this weather in OZ thats for sure!

[NZsarge]

Power Ones

Hmm, Power Ones ya say...

[slydesigns]

its the latest craze at NZP... the 3 MV's and 2 R1's now run them as well so I got sucked into trying them as well.

[Meanie]

No blardy way i,m going out in this shit. Got me heater crankin, meatloaf on the DVD player loud enough to get the neighbour pissed off
Anyone going tonight good luck to ya :rofl:

Isn't Monie a tease? Running a bit late last night ran into Monie with her little gaggle heading into town to catch up with SS. I ended up being delegated as run lead on Ronda. (Well sort of ordered by Monie :bash: ;) Apart from some rather LARGE rain drops up C Hill way, and me having fogged up glasses with double vision, all was good. A small ride but it was nice to be out again.

Phone line has been sorted at last too, faulty cabling at the exhange. Seems a lot quicker also.

Just depends on the weather mate, as you can imagine most people are interested in going out in the rain when it's just a social ride (there's always the odd exception though) but if it's fine there well could be hoards of riders there..
