I'm on my contractually enforced 'break'. I hate working to rule, slows everything down :p

[ynot slow]

I'm on my contractually enforced 'break'. I hate working to rule, slows everything down :p

Gotta love the work to rule speak.When I worked for MAF the clowns at Northland Testing Station(when run by govt the stations)decided to work to rule,the higher salaries commission commented in the following months report that throughput was up,as was takings and people saying very quick service with no delays.They forgot work to rule meant 10 mins smokos,30-60 mins lunch as per regulations.Not 15mins or more smokos,45-75mins lunch as per normal back in 1985.

[gatch]

Yo, is there a ride on this friday ???

There most certainly will be. Unless the weather's shocking. Ashhurst Mobile 6 pm, departing after suitable shit has been talked. Destination usually decided shortly before the ride, sometimes during.........

[gatch]

mint, hopefully the weather shows a little love..

[Monie]

[Owl]

[sparkles]

[gatch]

Tad slow in Ashhurst huh. If it was Palmy, it would've been done and had a supermarket added for good measure.:laugh:

[Flynn]

Yeah after you buy the wife's swift:dodge:


You want a new 2010 model,sell him your one,will take 5%fee for my services kind sir.

Gee only 5%, You must work for the government, or no it would be 300%


my mates selling this http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?&p=1129468531

Wrong colour:oi-grr:


whats the guts then?

anything in particular mind? tried anything yet?

Need to sell a swift, then save a bit more cash, depending on what the Swift sells for, if it does and then may be a honda
















Not:lol::dodge:

May be a concours, or a versys, or a tiger, oww I don't know.

I tell ya what if it is fine on sat I'll be in to try a few different ones about the town, then a trip to Welly:2thumbsup:2thumbsup

[ynot slow]

The joys of buying Flynn,have ideas of possibles,then a probable comes along bingo.

For the sake of our esteemed latte lovers hope a new machine is installed at the garage,each ride leaving from there would increase turnover substantially for them,fuel,latte,smoke,latte,ride.

[yod]

great night over vinegar hill just a little sad wet roads:weep:

[bogan]

[86GSXR]

Greetings from Auckland, had a quick cage run up here last nite. You are milking cows? Does this mean Coke gets the gurgler?

[cowboyz]

no..It means I get no sleep!

[gatch]

I think I have the riddle of the ever exploding fuse figured out :D

The signal wire from the switch on the rear brake had melted onto one of the rear headers..

Fixed, went for a h00n, no blown fuse, hopefully it stays this way..

[Flynn]

don't say You get coke out of cows:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[cowboyz]

[NZsarge]

Youll be right, if no one shows, youll be able to lie and say there was heaps of you on the ride, that way youll look popular

He could also say he had a Ducati Streetfighter on loan for a test ride... then again maybe not.. :whistle:

Where abouts,if Rangitikei river it's bloody great,grade 5 rapids,perfect for beginners and experienced people,and bloody exhilerating.Then we read that grade 5 is highest commercial rating for rivers to be rafted,just as well it was after we'd got home we read the brochure properly.

[manwithav8]

Right you lot. I'm due back in 4 and a half weeks.

I will be looking to retake possesion of the RF and get it all good to go. Inline with that, buy some new gear so I can be back to two wheels sooner rather than later.

I guess i am returning at a good time as the friday night runs will still be going for a while.

Now that the sprog is old enough to go to nan and pops I might even be able to convince the wife to come out and help hold the rear end down for stabilty mid corner. Not that her little frame will help much but it all counts right???????

So anyway, I will hit NZ soil around the 8th Dec and hope to be out the following friday.

Meanie, I want cake for my welcome back lol.. Well I don't actually eat cake but you know how it is haha.

Oh and nobody mention spicey rum to me either, that is totally off the menu for this man now. Water water and maybe some more water!!!!!

See you all soon, I know how much you have missed me so I won't hesitate to grace you with my presence.

:P

Oh and has anyone hardened the YOD up yet?? ( not in that way either cowboyz)

[NZsarge]

Rangitikei River?If so hope you did Maxs' drop about 6mtr drop iirc,both times I went the river was to low,had to carry raft around it.

yep, did the lot

[Meanie]

yep, did the lot

Awesome, on my to do list

[yod]

Awesome, on my to do list

it's definitely FMS, we should get a group together

you can do the whole package, rafting, bbq, they got a bar and accommodation if you wanna stay and get on the turps afterwards

after coming off the river and hitting a nice hot shower, the whiskey's seem to go down far too easily tho...:no:

well worth it

Well worth doing it adrenaline wise,but that was 25years ago I went.Was bloody good crowd we went with,they had a fatality not long after,they used to use ex army trucks to take to start point,a truck went over the bank and killed a rafter,the company were pretty religious from the states and they never recovered,they could relate to a death(just)on the river due to risk factor,but not travelling to and fro.

Think river rats or similar took over their spot,and built it up.Also great scenery to get there,bloody steep banks,no wonder they say if you fall out DON'T stand up in white water,long way to haul ass up those cliffs.

Actually not a bad rode to do a ride to the base maybe.

[cowboyz]

So anyway, I will hit NZ soil around the 8th Dec and hope to be out the following friday.


will alert the athorities.
Oh and has anyone hardened the YOD up yet?? ( not in that way either cowboyz)
rides a honda.. anything in pink will do it for him.


bollocks, it's mine now, i just did the papers yesterday, cheapest bike i've ever bought:done:

paid too much for it.

It's suppose to be a casual wind down ride after a week of work.

2 weeks in a row? Ok last week was a minor but this is very rapidly becoming unacceptable. The Friday night ride was created as a wind down to the end fo the week and where everyone could relax and ride their own ride.

[cowboyz]

speed and danger do not go hand in hand. one doesnt directly relate to the other. I wont be at any more fri night rides cause I working nights now but there a a few of us who have been here since the beginning and would hate to see fri night ride get a repuatation that is just doesnt deserve.

It is a newbie friendly social ride where everyone keeps in their comfort zone and rides at the pace they feel comfortable with. The only thing thats not allow is falling off.

Rant over:angry2::angry::angry2::angry:, oops wrong thread, piss off

Still no bike huh

Pleased your ok sparles, unfortunatly it happens to most of us when we start riding. Normaly a great reality check
I am a bit concerned with the amount of accidents on the fnr as well, like cowboyz has stated we started this ride as an easy ride to finish the week off and enable us all to have a regular catch up. My suggestion is leave the testosterone at home if you are a little competative when you ride and ride to live.
Lets be a bit more carefull out there, life is short enough as it is

[ynot slow]

Had a few speedsters on Taranaki rides which were Tuesday night rides,went on one,and never again,when you see a guy pass 5 bikes on yellow lines and just(and was just)miss being a bonnet emblem on a Mack truck as he went round a corner.Was ok but 2 or 3 of us were just pssed and right in the line of crash had it happened.

Just slow down a bit guys,sure at the end of the week you can be either knackered mentally and brain fade kicks in,or just stuffed,no need to hoon off with the fast guys,mind you the straights are good if ya can tuck in behind them,they get caught first.

I suggest a Friday ride meeting at Takapau intersection about 6.00pm,heading into town.

[NZsarge]

I suggest a Friday ride meeting at Takapau intersection about 6.00pm,heading into town.

He he, I don't see that one happening Tony..

[ynot slow]

Was thinking about maybe organising a cafe/bar to meet at after the rides on Friday.Somewhere that if you're unable to get on the ride can have a coffee or beer with any crew not heading home.Might be about 8.00 ish or so depending on ride length.Or a finishing spot to end the ride and grab a feed and drink.

Maybe Speights bar,Cuba,Aqaba,Barista(open till midnight),Rexs as example,or anyone have a favorite.Needs to have enough room if a few stay on.

[ynot slow]

He he, I don't see that one happening Tony..

Worth a crack,will enjoy the ride home hit middle road,and other ones to explore.

By some freakish coincidence I'll be in Havelock North next weekend... with bike... and time to spare on Sat arvo :woohoo:

I've just skimmed several pages of the HB BIKOI thread :scratch: Yungatart can you point me to the post with the details? Where is Anderson Park?

[yungatart]

Post is the first one in HB Bikeoi thread I think...not good at the linky thing, but will get Mstrs on to that for you
Anderson Park is in Kennedy Rd, Greenmeadows (between Taradale and town) across from the ambulance station.
If you come in on HW 2, go over the first overbridge and take a left just before the second, stay on that road...you will see us!
Will get Mstrs to post a map for you too, eh?
Thanks heaps!

[cowboyz]

map.. ummm errrrrrrrrrr.


wont be able to make it as Im going 4x4 this weekend.....

Basically, if you are coming from the south...
Head towards Napier via the Expressway
Turn left towards Taradale at the Meeanee Rd interchange
Turn right at the lights (Guppy Rd)
Turn right at the next lights (Gloucester St)
Turn left and park up when you see the STJohns Ambo stn on your right.

I'll be in Havelock so Papakowhai, Meeanee, Guppy, Gloucester, got it :done:

[red mermaid]

I have permission so it seems highly likely that I will be going up from Palmy.

[KiwiKat]

WOW, I'm offline for a few days and there are two bins :Oops:and FNR rides to the Bay sounds like fun but costly. At this rate we should be able to get all bikes binned within 12 months. Glad that everyone is OK. The Kat will be out for a quiet pootle this Friday, looking forward to catching up with a few riders again.:Punk:

It's not a requirement and certainly not to be encouraged. Had a chat with Sarge on Sunday and we both agree with Cowboyz sentiments that it is not something we want repeated.

The emphasis needs to be on having fun without endangering anyone and also keeping a look out for each other. This means that we all (me too) have to rein ourselves in a bit at times.

Al started a great event to finish the working week off and we do not want it marred my any sort of nasty incident. ACC are watching...

I also concur.

I made the poor mistake of panicking in the gravel when I probably could have ridden through it without hassle.

I hope that I haven't put anyone off coming, I'll probably come out again tomorrow, I'm packing up and shifting house on the weekend so won't have much time for 2 wheeling..

...CDMTC track days really aren't all that far away... perhaps that could/should be the goal of those of us (me included) that like to blaze alittle too much. Cruise the FNR's and prep the bikes and ourselves for trying pin it at the Trackdays in Jan and April? Save the tires and the brakepads for those to events as they will kill them for sure anyway and those items aren't cheap!

Saves those riders who like to try to hug the rear of the faster bikes from finding they dont have as much talent, technology, or in my case, just plain luck when its finally needed. Bins are funny right up until something irreplaceable breaks or dies. I think some of us forget these aren't dirtbikes that you can usually get back on after a crash. These are weapons that can do some serious damage.

I know I forget from time to time.

[road king]

...CDMTC track days really aren't all that far away...

i think there is a 'honda rider development day' on the 22 nov. thats practically a track day and not to expensive

[86GSXR]

Well said guys. Yep, it's supposed to be a nice cruisy ride to end the working week and it achieves that pretty well. Just keep it simple, ride your own ride, and ride to the conditions and your experience level. Afterall, the only way to get experience is to just do it. Accidents do happen of course and it ain't pretty when they do. Tends to ruin the day somewhat. So, just take it easy :cool:

And yep, Honda trackday at Manfield Sunday 22 Nov. Non members Pre reg $125.00. On the day $150.00. Don't have to be a member or ride a Honda. Arron Slight will be there to give some pointers :yes:

Yeah, where were ya?

Mint ride over Vinegar Hill, tea in Hunterville and back through Halcombe. Only rain was Palmy/Ashhurst before leaving. Vinegar Hill was superb!

3 Hondas out, 3 Hondas back in.

Not a good night to be a duck...

[ynot slow]

Mine was fun,Napier 5.15pm beautifull evening,onto SH50(without getting lost),great road and trip to join SH2.Look to left and see massive black clouds around Waipukurau and happy I didn't go SH2,about 5km from corner(SH50/SH2) rain and heaps till Dannevirke(6.30pm)then stopped about start of gorge.

Overall,strong winds was interesting,first real ride in wet,and went better than thought.When fuel guage shows 2 bars and goes to last one just as leaving turn off to Hastings/SH50,maybe fill up,had 18.75ltrs in at 'Vegas in a 19ltr tank 330km with headwinds,daily 3km commute and travelling at 115km-120km.
