[Flynn]

Mate was there before the scheduled time of leave been 6.30pm NOT the 6.20pm you guys left:blink::shit:. I missed ya by like 1-2min, Meanie informs me ya left at 6.20pm. So I went up the Apaiti loop, had a ball:Punk:(all be by myself be a cool looking loner), <_<great road and it took 55 min from pub to pub (beens Murrays in feilding).
So anyway after a few texts to find all I went home for a beer and some wife time:love: Nite all:niceone:

DLEY ARMS TAVERN

What's that, scotch mist?:rofl:

[ynot slow]

Turned out a great night,after forecast saying showers in arvo,so went to speedway instead,man some wicked stoppies last night,and general carnage,and a mate missed the finals by 3 bloody points,would've been interesting if he qualified,but such is life.
Best part is a few paybacks tonight in consolation races tonight,so if ya got a spare $25 head along,best in the land racing,ahh to be a hoon on track.

[Meanie]

Nice pick Owl but just does'nt look right without some yellow

OMG you still alive then...

[dogsnbikes]

That I am.....may be even mobile soon:rolleyes:

[Meanie]

Nice ride with some great company
It was great to see the Yod out on leave for a couple of hours
Sorry we missed you Sam, just in case you didnt know we are supposed to leave at 6.00 fo the FNR but because we have so much shit to talk about we normaly run a little late
Funny thing is though, since Cowboyz started working nights and he hasnt been able to come the rides have been leaving earlier and seem to flow better without all the stops, even manage to get home before the sun goes down :rofl:

[Meanie]

That I am.....may be even mobile soon:rolleyes:

[Flynn]

If it is cr@p then I could we meet at Ashhurst Inn, ride to Thompsons motorcycle museum, which isn't open to the public, which I'm sure we can get into for $5 a head, check out the bikes, then disperse or ride back to the new local and go from there, Who's up??:yawn:

[cowboyz]

i am finishing at 9pm every night this week so will still miss the ride but keen to catch up for the shit-talking afterwards. I do that much better than the riding bit anyway

Been trying to tell you 3 cylinders don't cut it(until I get one),was definately showers in the friggin air till Woodville.Dririder jackets aren't as weatherproof as Neo,but are a better fit lol.

[Flynn]

And that's some feat alright :laugh: Excellent ride tonight, loved the sound of all the V Twins, there was definitely something in the air. FMS.

Yes, 4 big v twins, a triple and a v4, cool, coool cooool, Was a good run, sorry to hold you up Jethro, I'm getting it together slowly I think.

[SuperSonic]

just met up with the after ride shit talking. good to catch up. Where did that sonic and road king and BR go???????????

Yeah I know I hit the round about in bunyland and at the last min I turned right to go home and not straight to shittalkville. But it was luckly that I did as I only had the dark visor on.

[SuperSonic]

And that's some feat alright :laugh: Excellent ride tonight, loved the sound of all the V Twins, there was definitely something in the air. FMS.

Yeah even sound great at the front of all those twins. On the way home I had to pull over to hear BR's and Flynns bikes from the back to see just how good they are. :yes:

Something in the air like a song.............................................. .......:mega::ride:

The hills are alive with the sound of V-Twins
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of V-Twins

My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of V Twins

[Mrs Cowboyz]

[road king]

this friday night, i have to be in wanganui sometime not long after 7 30, so i was thinking i would have to miss the ride:(

but then i came up with a plan!!!! if its not going to inconvenience anyone too much, we could do this route (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=-40.289412,175.755157&daddr=Makirikiri+Rd+to:Wellington+Rd+to:Makuhou+Rd +to:Waimutu+Rd+to:Williamsons+Line+to:Cemetery+Rd+ to:Sandon+Rd+to:Unknown+road&geocode=%3BFT4OnP0dnnt0Cg%3BFdo7nP0dMh10Cg%3BFQDwn f0dBIpzCg%3BFYovnf0doEhzCg%3BFU8PnP0dVjNzCg%3BFZ2N mv0dnwt1Cg%3BFcR7mv0dxBB2Cg%3BFWg3mv0d_PB2Cg&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=14&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,7&sll=-40.291311,175.762367&sspn=0.034895,0.077162&ie=UTF8&ll=-40.078071,175.323944&spn=0.140019,0.308647&z=12) and i could break off at Waimutu Rd.

that way, i can still go for a decent ride and get to wangas at a reasonable time.:yes::first:

[NZsarge]

Sounds like this could be a goodie!

So you gonna be able to make it?

[86GSXR]

[road king]

Apiti loop sounds good to me. im not really in the mood for V. hill

off to get a new one tomorrow I guess, no point in repairing it, it was just about shot anyway, hope I can get 12k out of the next one too!

[road king]

FNR was FMS yet again. non-stop from ashhurst to ashhurst via apti:Punk:

[NZsarge]

FNR was FMS yet again. non-stop from ashhurst to ashhurst via apti:Punk:

Apiti is not normally a road I derive much enjoyment from but I enjoyed the ride at still enjoyably brisk but more relaxed pace. I must say that'd just about be a record for a FNR, 117km without stopping.

[86GSXR]

Very odd finishing in daylight yes :laugh: Good to see Dog's back on form, bugger about the PR2 though. FMS ride.

[Mrs Cowboyz]

was lovely to catch up with dogs and mel! Just two short of the original crew!!

[Meanie]

I rocked up to the Ashhurst Inn and was a little dismayed to find we had been relagated to the back of the establishment :oi-grr:
Unfortunatly the owner has made it far too comfortable out the front now with the plastic screens so now every man and his dog wants to sit with the cool crowd. Didnt they see the motorcyles on the sign :bash:
I had a chat to the said owner, told him if it happens again we would steal his plastic screens and reclaim our rightful seating arrangments, he suggested putting bollards in the front carpark just wide enough to get our bikes through, yes even the concours. :rofl:
Anywho, i didnt ride last night as i had an opening celebration for Fowler homes to attend but was very impressed and a little stunned to see how early everyone got back.
Great to see Dogs and Melisa out and about and the Daytona is looking very splendid after all the attention and folding stuff thrown at it...

[dogsnbikes]

I must say that'd just about be a record for a FNR, 117km without stopping.

A sure sign that Kwaka's tend too hold up proceedings,It is there destiny to be led by Triumphs:lol:

Was a good ride and good to catch up with so many,Haven't had much more than about 400ks under my belt since last June,so was in my element again tormenting a certain tiger on the Pohangina Valley East road Once again :rofl:

Was a Great ride home too,just a lil wind full moon and bugger all traffic and one sheep standing in the middle of the road... two things went through my mind,(FFS dont you dare move sheep)(why the hell did Al have to mention sheep on the FNR)

[dogsnbikes]

just wide enough to get our bikes through, yes even the concours. :rofl:
...

we don't want it turned into a trukstop so the concours will have to park outside the bollards:bleh:

[yod]

[dogsnbikes]

These sheep need their ass's kicking! That was a particulary good FNR :rockon:


Far too hot to be riding......

Rather bloody hot today alright. Manfield was a minter. In the shade :beer:

[SuperSonic]

Far too hot to be riding......

WTF it's the best when going 200k at manfeild, no worries bout heat then:yes:. Just when ya stop.!!:blink:

[NZsarge]

I just arrived home, absolute pearler of a night for a ride, temperature is just right.

[Headbanger]

WTF it's the best when going 200k at manfeild, no worries bout heat then:yes:. Just when ya stop.!!:blink:

Swish.

Though soon after making that comment I hit the road, Headed out the back roads behind Fordell, Huge country, tight roads, Popped out on a back road that leads into Hunterville, Flew back to Wanganui on the main road then out to the Kaiwi tavern for a couple pints of ale before heading home to jump in the pool.

[banditrider]

Ok, so it's been a few days now and everyone has been nice and quiet, so it's time to spill...

I turfed my little red bike down the road after the Friday nite ride. No, it hadn't been naughty and didn't deserve it but I did it anyway...

Basically I took off from the pub on the back wheel, landed it and then when braking for the corner the front went out from under me on some slippery/hot tar (I actually thought at first that it was metal on the road but Sonic went back and saw a skid in the tar).

I landed reasonably hard and got to watch the bike sliding away down the road as I chased it on my butt. No significant injuries to me although my mouse thumb is still annoyingly sore and there's still a bit of a bruise on my thigh. I was wearing my Spidi pants over shorts and my crappy old Nasran jacket. Both saved my skin but are pretty 2nd hand - any offers?

The bike is a little worse for wear - see below.

Big thanks to Sonic for racing over to see if I was ok and a huge thanks to Meanie and Sarge for helping me get the red beast home! :niceone:

Don't be as stupid as me! :no:

[chanceyy]

Ouch crap Andrew .. good to hear your ok though :niceone: .. sure is plenty of hot tar around at the moment too

[86GSXR]

Ah fuck it. Really sorry to hear that Andrew, I saw you take off as I left in the other direction but had no idea what had happened a few seconds later. Really bums one out really, I hope AC/DC made up for it in some small way. Where to from here?

[banditrider]

Ouch crap Andrew .. good to hear your ok though :niceone: .. sure is plenty of hot tar around at the moment too

Yep, found some!


I hope AC/DC made up for it in some small way. Where to from here?

AC/DC was friggin awesome! Just lodged a claim tonight, gotta drop bike down to City Honda, then wait and see.

[yod]

ooo bugger

mate, by all means, treat the kwaka like shit, but NOT THE HONDA!!! :shit:


seriously, glad to hear you're ok

[86GSXR]

They were weren't they! Best show I've seen in ages. Now I can't get Rock and Roll train out of my head tho. Rightiho, lets hope the bill ain't too large and that the old girl will be back on the road looking all refreshed :yes:

[chanceyy]

Yep, found some!

Well stop finding it then :blip: .. or avoid it in fu :yes:

[Owl]

Bugger Andrew!

Sorry to hear that and see the aftermath. Doesn't look too bad, but the two brothers are no longer identical twins:no:

For future reference, if any of the Manawatu crew need to get a bike home due to mishap, give us a yell. The ute is fairly well set up now with ramp, winch and spare key for Pegasus:D Me (not Allister)=02102269511 and Pegasus=0211211952

Oh yeah and AC/DC was fairly average:devil2:

[Flynn]

Yeah, we were all being quiet!!!

Just really hurts your pride more than anything else, well for me any way,

Glad you can walk away from it, they still make bikes but good buggers are getting more rare by the year!!!


Cheers for that Owl, I'll keep you in mind if any of us get a puncture on the tt 2000.:msn-wink:

[Owl]

[Pegasus]

I can just see Tracy jumping in the ute and racing down to Hokitika Al :dodge: :laugh:

Road Trip, Yeah :laugh:

Seriously though. Hope ute is not needed, but better to know about it, if it is.

Sorry to hear you had a not so great evening on Friday BR. Glad you are Ok.

[banditrider]

Thanks everyone. And Owl, hope that ute never has to leave the shed!

[road king]

nooooo, not the firestorm!!!:shit: glad to here you didn't do yourself to much damage BR

hopefully the red beast wont be off the road for to long

No worries mate just wished our crap roads where not bike killers, it was kind of unreal watching seeing the cool wheelstand then not really beleaving my eyes seeing you and bike on the ground the next min.:shit: :confused::no:

[slydesigns]

And this is why wheelies are bad. Who does that sort of thing anyways?...

[Flynn]

Cowboyz said to leave the wheelies to the professionals, that's why I never bother, for me they only happen by accident:laugh::laugh:

[SuperSonic]

Right so the wheel thing is over and out now, it's like so last week! Now this week any ideas?? Kind of like the idea of heading east. Have not been that way for a while.

[Meanie]

ooo bugger

mate, by all means, treat the kwaka like shit, but NOT THE HONDA!!! :shit:




Ooooh you nasty little bugger

Andrew it wasnt a problem and like Owl i dont have a problem picking up stranded bikers with my ute

[Mrs Cowboyz]

[NZsarge]

Yep, most enjoyable. Best weather for a FNR this season to boot as well, beautiful....

[Owl]

It was most enjoyable! I even managed to get my bike above 8000rpm a couple of times:laugh:

[ynot slow]

Mine does that too,1st - neutral then 2nd.

[Meanie]

Nice to get on the bike again and let off a bit of steam, been one of those weeks. Bit of a shame they chose to reseal some of VH in the summer, could have waited untill after daylight saving. Couldnt quite settle in properly after the road works. The entertainment of the night was watching the dum arse in his ute in front of me pass the truck in a 30 kmh road work area with a traffic cop directly behind him. Nice ticket i am sure and kept mr plod busy while we continued on our way
Where did you dissapear to Yod ???

Glad you had a good one. This girl was a bit busy being a Tom Boy, growling at Stock Car Drivers. :brick: It shouldn’t be that hard to "Put Transmitter on Car in correct position, so it reads properly" :laugh: I hope to make it to a FNR one day soon. I did manage to get out for a little round town blat yesterday morning. Weather couldn't have been better.

Damn straight, work gets in the way of lots of fun stuff.

I'm not a religious bloke but Amen to that dude!

[Elysium]

Ok I'm a bit behind the times apparently :whistle: Just saw the sad sight at City Honda today and didn't realise this happened a week ago. R.I.P. VTR.

[Flynn]

RIP, Not that bad is it???

[Elysium]

RIP, Not that bad is it???

Insurance might bin it I think. Well a lot of the time they do tend to pay out for another bike if the damage is too much. I mean 86's Tiger didn't look that bad but was written off by the insurance company.

[NZsarge]

Heh, that's coz Triumph parts are obscenely expensive.... Mind you Honda parts are'nt exactly cheap either truth be told. I guess taking into account the tank being damaged it's possible they might write it off, if the tank was clean i'd say they repair the bike but it's hard to say, I guess it all comes down to the cost of the damage.

[Elysium]

Doesn't it also take just the smallest of dings on the frame to become a write off?

[NZsarge]

Doesn't it also take just the smallest of dings on the frame to become a write off?
Hmm, did'nt notice any dent in the frame.... Depends on how big it is and where it I reckon but that's only guessing, you might be correct, any dent may perhaps render it un-warrant of fitnessable.

[NZsarge]

Got a plan given decent weather, out east. I've also noticed that the Black Stump has'nt been open the past few times i've been through Pahiatua so maybe it's no longer a refreshment destination...

[yod]

Dudley Arms is the place to be....

[slydesigns]

New Chain, New Brakes... So as long as the opportunity is there to hammer the brakes and stretch the new chain doing clown wheelies... I'm in again!

Oh and if anyone wants to throw a leg over the 675, just yell out, all applications considered, nothing promised.

[NZsarge]

Got a plan given decent weather..

I don't think the weather is gonna be all that great going by the forecast but as it happens I won't be there for the ride anyway so...

[banditrider]

Who's going? Where we going? Should I be going?

[road king]

It's friday arvo, i see dark clouds and sunshine. only a mention of a few showers in the forecast. think i might do a FNR loud...... whos all gona be there???

[road king]

Who's going? Me!!! Where we going? :whocares: Should I be going? dam skippy ya should!


..........

[banditrider]

dam skippy???

[road king]

Damn skippy... Not just yes, but HELL yes. A derivative of "Damn straight" believed to have it's origins in the south eastern regions of Australia.

[Owl]

Skippy's dead!

[slydesigns]

skippy ain't happy no more...

[slydesigns]

And nothings going to beat how cool that new Gixxer sounds with the underbelly cut off muffler

[86GSXR]

Yes, poor old skippy.

Having just been caught in that storm at 6000' over Wanganui I feel like a ride, something to calm me down. Man, that was a goodie :eek:

[SuperSonic]

Yes, poor old skippy.

Don't know how we missed all the rain, but we musta snuck through somehow.

Should do that loop more often I reckon.

Still buzzing aye...

[Flynn]

Well come on spill the beans, where did you go?

It was a good way to end the working week, woke me up :shit: FMS ride all!!!


Mint mint mint, absolutely mint ride.

Don't know how we missed all the rain, but we musta snuck through somehow.

Still buzzing aye...

It's a pearler alright isn't it. We outran the storms very nicely, the track would have been submerged by the looks of things in that direction.


Think this is it. Nice ride too - except for some umarked gravel eh 86?

I wondered what the hell was going on there Andrew. Came around that bend and the whole bike got very nervous. I thought I'd blown the back tyre which is why I stopped. Very cleverly concealed roadworks weren't they?


Oh yes that is a good run.

It sure is! I was hoping you'd be there so I could tell you how to edit that post :laugh:


That's what I was thinking but in reverse.

Had an inkling that may have been on your mind. Good to catch up anyway :yes:

Welcome to Dave too, we may see more Beemer's out and about :yes:

i would have loved to, but turns out I could have no call outs, but if I had, you know murphy's law I would have:wacko::pinch:

Anyone going to visit Otaki tomorrow for the bike thing there? Or any other ride?? Been out and about today mucking round in the wind after watching Freestyle vids all night. Interesting sail effect for the front wheel in the air!

was that you 2 up on the CBR

[gazmascelle]

yeah, visited a mate in masterton on the way home, ended up hunting round for gear so he could come with me, best he could find was a shitty helmet covered in vivid & no visor and a whorey jacket with a fucked zip which ended up being held together with packing tape lol

[86GSXR]

was that you guys heading through the gorge at bout 8 yesterday? was heading back from wellys via masterton :doobey:

Thanks for letting us past. Every Friday night 6 pm Ashhurst Mobil if you're keen for a run!

[gazmascelle]

sounds good.

yeah I thought I should let yas past, you looked like you'd be a bit quicker than me with an extra 90kg on the back

[Flynn]

Who's in tonight???

[Owl]

Not sure yet, but definite maybe!

[slydesigns]

I'm in. "please enter extra letters... message is too short"

[gazmascelle]

Got way too f--d up last night in wellys (just finished block course for glazing apprenticeship) might be a good idea to catch up with yas next week :brick:

[Flynn]

Not sure yet, but definite maybe!

What sort of answer is that, definite maybe???????? :laugh::wacko:

[slydesigns]

running late, leaving Linton now...

[Owl]

Done! Home again and ready for lamb burgers;)

Bloody bellypan doesn't like those 25kph corners, but I do!:whistle:

[Flynn]

Was a good gentle pootle thru gorge, balance, when the leaders took the short cut :oi-grr:and the stayers went the long way:lol:, back over the track, and back to the centre of the universe, thanks all good little quiet run.

That pretty hard case I must say, looks as if it's genuine leather too, might be a touch roomy for a new born though, still plenty of time to grow into it..

Yeah minimum of 6 months I think, as you have to wait for their head to stop wanting to fall off on its own. I'm sure we can find a nice plush ZX-14 to help keep bubby's head attached.:laugh:

Sorry they didn't have one with Armour. The girl in the shop looked a little :confused: when I asked about the jeans not having Kevlar either. At least I got a giggle. :lol:

I am thinking this Aunt thing could be fun, especially when there is competition for the coolest Aunt award. :girlfight:

I bailed, too tired, must sleep in preparation for tomorrow... Only three did the ride tonight which, given the weather was pretty good, I found somewhat puzzling.

[Flynn]

Yeah, pitty I was otherwise occupied tonight, just got home.

[Owl]

I thought I might get out by myself for a while, but I had a tv to fix, so fix the tv I did.

Warning!

Be careful with flyspray near a modern tv, as it eats into the plastic surround and is a pain to repair.:innocent:

[Noel Jones]

hi every one long time no see. Bike still broken need help I need a chain braker and any manual information for my bike. I want to lift the motor out of bike frame can any one HELP .

[slydesigns]

cut the chain off... I have a dremel with a mini grinder/cutoff fitting thats sweet for doing it with no extra damage. Cut off the rivet link and buy a new one when its time to refit. About $18 for the rivet link.
