Manawatu Friday Night Ride. (Be there or be in the square).

[cowboyz]

frik your slack!

[dogsnbikes]

Correction I have 3

[NZsarge]

Wow, grand total of one bike turned up for the FNR tonight and with this weather, sheesh...

[Owl]

Wow, grand total of one bike turned up for the FNR tonight and with this weather, sheesh...

Was the one bike you, or you +1?:laugh:

Not mint really either way!:no:

[Flynn]

That's because everyone is too busy washing their bikes for tomorrow:yes::laugh:

[Owl]

Not true:nono:

I cleaned mine on Wednesday:yes:

[Flynn]

You are prepared!!!!!

[banditrider]

Wow, grand total of one bike turned up for the FNR tonight and with this weather, sheesh...

I'm missing my Friday night bike...


That's because everyone is too busy washing their bikes for tomorrow:yes::laugh:

You didn't say anything about washing my bike!

[Flynn]

Do kwaka riders know how, watch the water int the fuel tank..........oh no wrong guy....sorry:laugh:

[yod]

we're supposed to wash our bikes?

[cowboyz]

well you dont have to cause you havent used it since the 4 ponts...............

[Meanie]

Been a little busy lately to do FR rides, and not here next week.
Next year should be better as we should have finished renovating

[NZsarge]

Just seemed a little odd to me that only Sly managed to get along on a night that did'nt get much better weather wise, may have been one of those instances that most people were busy and the rest did'nt feel like it I suppose.

[slydesigns]

Rain or shine, the front wheel's gotta go high! Queensland Cops carry guns so I have to get it out of the system here. The bridge challenge is almost sort now. Got 20 regional bridges on the list now and all are being done cleanly, apart from the Monstor Foxton bridge. Wanganui's main bridge has been the best so far! Foxton is the holy grail though given its length! 5 nicely executed variants of the "task" so far sorted.

I'll post up the link to the final vid cut on the Crazy Will Drift website the day I leave NZ in July.


And it shall, in the interests of keeping things publicly polite, be forever know as the "task". If we could all play the game with this point, that would be wheelie, wheelie good and appreciated.

[slydesigns]

we riding tonight or we blousing out? Vinegar hill/Halcombe?

[cowboyz]

thinking I might go to work instead

[NZsarge]

we riding tonight or we blousing out? Vinegar hill/Halcombe?

Would love to but I yet again I have to go to Palmy in the car today plus there might be an early start tomorrow morning. Hope a few turn up this time.

[slydesigns]

I'm guessing it'll just be me again...lol

Luckily the Wed Night rides are still getting good crowds so I get my fix that way.

Maria looks to have a done deal on a Demonstrator 2009 CBR600RR with only 7km on the clock... thats 7000meters!!!! For AU$12,900 (New price AU$17000) with the usual dealer/factory warranties. Its Black too so shes pretty damn pleased with herself.

And when you get ya mits on it will she get it back,bloody good deal.

Bloody windy out there,almost needed an extra wheel for stability.

That a mint deal! (Insert tongue in cheek smart arse remark about Honda's here).

[slydesigns]

Insert away.... shes gone and ridden an R6 and this is her txt quote to me...

" I just rode an R6. Its a f#$kin animal!!! Its like your bike but on V and Cocaine!!!. F*^k the CBR I'm getting an R6! I LOVE IT!!"

That was after riding an old 99 R6 straight after the 08 and '10 model CBR's... got to love her choice of weekend activities. She was in and out over every dealer in Townsville all saturday wheeling, dealing, test riding and batting her cute eyelids at the sales staff.

It paid off.

Shes now pretty much signed off on an 08 R6 with 1000k on the clock in black with metallic red logos.

Wheelied my way to the ride last friday... everyone else bloused. Rain storm caught up so wheelied back through it home. That was the most fun in the rain I've had since MotoX!

[cowboyz]

last friday night ride this week and being good friday I am not working so intend to go for a pootle in a fashion that the ride was orginially setup for. So whos in for a quiet pootle somewhere and a drink and some shittalking for a couple of hours? Probably finish at ashhurst inn whereever I go.. seems like a good way to spend a fri night.

[Meanie]

Have a good one all, make sure you send the end of the summer off with style
Ride safe

[86GSXR]

I'll be in :yes: Totally agree with the quiet pootle kind of theme. In fact, lately I've taken to just tootling around at pleasant speeds which has been very enjoyable.

[NZsarge]

Probably finish at ashhurst inn whereever I go.. seems like a good way to spend a fri night.

If you can confirm that's the finishing point I might come over and socialize for a bit.

[Owl]

I'll probably be a starter for the FNR also!:D

Issues with TBR mufflers - on a slow boat from somewhere...

[ynot slow]

Be rude not to,hopefully pub open but as Good Friday who knows.

[NZsarge]

Be rude not to,hopefully pub open but as Good Friday who knows.
You have a very good point, got a feeling it is'nt, might have to devise a plan B, whatever the hell that might be....

[cowboyz]

yeah. ashhurst inn is closed for good fri. meanie away. could raid his fridge.............

[Flynn]

I'm out got a family friend coming for a meal, wish you all a good one, wish I could come though.:yes:

[Elysium]

Issues with TBR mufflers - on a slow boat from somewhere...

Know what you mean. Still having fitment issues with my right exhaust and Motorxparts have ditched TBR. I'm communitcating by email with a manager at TBR but get impression I aint going to get much help hence why I can see why these guys in Auckland don't want to deal with them anymore.

When I have time and money I might pop over to Cycleworks see what they can do to fix the problem.

[86GSXR]

I believe Cuba is open tonight. Probably one of the few that is, no surcharge either.....................

[NZsarge]

I believe Cuba is open tonight. Probably one of the few that is, no surcharge either.....................

That might be plan B but it also might be as busy as, still...

[Elysium]

I definatly want to ride the bike somewhere today.

[Owl]

I believe Cuba is open tonight. Probably one of the few that is, no surcharge either.....................


That might be plan B but it also might be as busy as, still...

No surcharge? That would be new for Cuba and it will be busy either way.

[ynot slow]

BK's or KFC or Maccas not much choice,or servos hmmm BP do good coffee and pies lol.

[chanceyy]

I believe Cuba is open tonight. Probably one of the few that is, no surcharge either.....................

What's the issue? Mine went together sweet as...

[banditrider]

So what's the plan? Should we meet a bit earlier to make use of the light?

[86GSXR]

If the time changes can someone please text me as I'll be out. Ta.

[NZsarge]

So what's the plan? Should we meet a bit earlier to make use of the light?

Probably not a bad idea, once an after ride venue is nailed down can someone post it up here so I know where i'm going if I can make it.

[cowboyz]

i been busy doing all sorts of jobs for the day. ready to ride now .. only an hour away so might go for a bit of a blow-the-cobwebs-out for a little bit first

[SuperSonic]

I do hope the last friday night ride before winter was a good one? Sorry could not make it, Wife had to goto work for some cat that need some med??? Mutter mutter. ANyway trrack day tomorrow oh yeah so looking forward to that...................

[banditrider]

Just a little pootle over the saddle, Balance, track and into town to try to find something open...

[robertydog]

Always nice sneaking up on the Palmy crowd feeding their faces. lol

[Elysium]

What's the issue? Mine went together sweet as...

Air leak comming from gasket. New gaskets and all but still an air leak. Funny enough I re-used the old battered gasket for my left pipe and it works fine without new gasket! No matter how tight the clamp bolt is, there is still a small leak but enough to cause temp inbalance between the cans.

Anyhow I'm apparantly not the only one who had fitment issues with TBR hence why Motoxparts ditched the brand.

[chanceyy]

Always nice sneaking up on the Palmy crowd feeding their faces. lol

gee amazing wot riff raff they let out of the bay aye .. good to see you n Cindy

well I now have two bikes in the shed again .. amazing how full it looks :clap: great wee pootle with Mo just through the Gorge & Ballance and we figured if we rode around the square something had to be open :yes:

[Owl]

Always nice sneaking up on the Palmy crowd feeding their faces. lol

I had an awesome FNR. Went up to Taupo for a spontaneous trackday. Five bikes, 3 hrs non stop tracktime. Farking great, got my knee on the ground for the first time (while remaining upright lol). First time on Taupo, very interesting track. Stunning ride home in the dark, V Hill just magic as always!

All good, Sarge, Some one must be rich, serious coin swapped for a connie by some one, I'd seen the duke floating round Ashhurst, thought we might have had another FN rider but may be next year it may surface??

[NZsarge]

He won't wanna go back to the 14 after that...
A Concours or something like it may well be in my future but not as yet, could'nt afford one atm anyway.

[cowboyz]

I shall endeavor to get there more than once per bike this year! still haven't done the apiti loop...

really???.............

[86GSXR]

Maybe the Apiti loop for the first ride then?

[bogan]

nah, can't make the first one, brother's wedding, he's also making me miss the mag-launch. Ah well, it only happens once I spose (better be only once anyway!)

[86GSXR]

True, he'd probably be offended if you missed his wedding :laugh: Plenty of FNR's to be had, weddings take longer to organise - hang on, it is Ashhurst :shutup:

[dogsnbikes]

Maybe the Apiti loop for the first ride then?

on demo bikes:innocent:

haha, yeh well one of the best mans jobs is to make sure the groom gets there too, my life would be forfeit if I fucked that up :lol:

[86GSXR]

on demo bikes:innocent:

Classic :lol: Any joy yet?

[86GSXR]

haha, yeh well one of the best mans jobs is to make sure the groom gets there too, my life would be forfeit if I fucked that up :lol:

Oh god would it ever, would make a good story to tell the grandkids tho :shit:

[dogsnbikes]

Just Remember Guys what FNR started out as and what the focus was? to get people out riding and enjoy riding,Not to make people feel it was a race.....A short relxing ride after a weeks work to plan the weekends rides.... We are not all twenty year veterns... and its a great way for newbies to get a veterns advice,dont scare them off

THE STARTING POINT in the 1st post of this thread as below

Manawatu Friday Night Ride. (Be there or be in the square).
I've just had to give Dog's his Triumph back but we thought it would be a great idea to get people out for a cruisy easy short ride on a Thursday or Friday night and end up at a cafe for coffee and a chat

So, ideas and sugestions welcome, the basic idea being a short, no pressure ride around some of the great back roads round here.

All experience levels catered for, it would be great to see some of the newer riders out there and a great chance to pick up tips and hints from the more experienced.

Rides would probably be no more than an hour or so and be home before dark.

So get posting with your ideas guys, now's the time for those warm balmy evenings which are so good on the bikes

[dogsnbikes]

Classic :lol: Any joy yet?

one tyre kicker asking for my phone number doh! its listed in the add..... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=316777967

all in good time

[NZsarge]

We've got weeks and weeks to dream something up coz the first half dozen Fridays will be wet, thought that was a given... :whistle:

Yeah there's a lot of reasons why last seasons FNR's weren't as well patronized as the one previous, some of the above mentioned, also people couldn't be arsed getting their shit together on friday evenings, people had enough of it the previous season, shite weather, otherwise committed to other stuff and yes there were obviously people who felt pressure to ride quicker than they wanted too which is a shame but I don't know how many times it's been said, ride your own ride at your own pace etc... Whatever, a bit more organization might be in order if we get some bigger groups turning up, a bit of clarity as to where we are going etc.. Lead rider, tec, all that stuff needs to be looked at again. I must admit my enthusiasm had waned a bit by the end of last season, heres hoping for some decent weather and some good turn outs.

[NZsarge]

Yep certainly in the west go east young man go east

I fixed that for ya...

for sure! would be good to see some newbies taking advantage of what started out to be a fantastic idea!. and I think we should delay the start time to 4am too.....

[NZsarge]

yeh, I did get left behind a bit when I brought the 250 along last time, ride your own ride only works when you know where you're going too :pinch:

Hence the need to get back to... Lead rider, tec and rider briefing and second placed rider stopping at each turn off until the tec has come through.

[Monie]

I shall endeavor to get there more than once per bike this year! still haven't done the apiti loop...

you slacker...

[Monie]

hi sarge.........

[banditrider]

for sure! would be good to see some newbies taking advantage of what started out to be a fantastic idea!. and I think we should delay the start time to 4am too.....

Or with a bit more planning we could just be getting into the swing of things by then....

Oh hang on, that's my saturday night ride on the 16/10...

[Meanie]

Just an echo mate

Not realy a good idea unless you enjoy getting lost

[KiwiKat]

Absolutely:yes:. The old rides were mint easy rides (subject to rain, windgusts, and solar glare :sweatdrop: ) at the end of a Friday. Pace and spills seemed to get up little .


Hence the need to get back to... Lead rider, tec and rider briefing and second placed rider stopping at each turn off until the tec has come through. A great system, works well!

Now will someone just book a fine Friday please.

Hi Guys - Bush riders are kicking off there Twilight Road Rides Oct 9th. All riders welcome, organised with lead rider and TEC. Meeting @ Bisset Honda in Pahiatua 1pm. Rumoured to have Aaron Slight there. Ride will be out to Pongaroa, Dannevirke then onto Tui HQ for a bbq.
Last years inaugural season blossomed into regular great rides and turnouts I'm told. Sounds like a good thing to be part of. Alot of excellent Wairarapa roads to be explored (amongst others) as most of you would know.
For further info get onto there e mail list for ride updates.

Otherwise they wont know where the start point etc is as its been lost within all the group hugs and other posts on here.

The location and time to move by etc.

yeh but then that'd confuse the rest of us :p what they really need is a sticky post that sits at the top of each page or something with the details... or just chuck some newbie faqs in the first post...

or we could perhaps not make the rather condescending assumption that they're too stupid to post up a question along the lines of "hey, this friday thing, where is it and what time does it start?"

Might have something in the shed

Need a bit of a plan of where we are gonna go i guess, would be good to at least attempt organisation
How about a short one to start off with
Ashhurst, over the saddle, through balance, over the track to o cow tree and back to the Inn.
Done that before as a first ride for the year
Unless someone else has a better suggestion

Hi Bonez, Nice to see you come out of hibernation

[Meanie]

What an awesome way to start summer riding. :woohoo: Great to see everyone again.
The organisation worked, NZ Sarge was able to find us part way around because he knew the intended route. So in the interest of keeping the organisation going, could someone suggest a route for next week. Roll on summer

[86GSXR]

Superb blat around the block and great to catch up with everyone again :drinkup: I'll suggest Vinegar Hill, a cuppa at Hunterville and back to the Inn via Halcombe, always partial to that ride. Maybe skip the cuppa if it's getting too dark.

[yod]

well that was mint! First group road ride since may and it was awesome being back on the bike again just cruising! Not sure how many fri night rides i gonna make but really think i need to be getting back on the bike more!

i concur

t'was great to just be cruising in that mid evening sun and actually enjoy a few corners with the usual suspects as opposed to getting endlessly fucked off with idiot car drivers on the way to and from work every fekkin day

Gidday Fellas - how are you doing? Haven't been around for quite a while, only been back in Palmy since earlier this year. Have been bikeless (well road-bikeless anyway) for the last couple of years. Was aim to get another roady by this summer and so looking around for a cheap sports bike.

Have a quick question re bike shops in Palmy - gee the situation has changed so much since 07 - what bike shops do you use/recommend for mechanicing? At this stage just thinking in terms of pre-sale inspection for any prospective bikes, particularly as they'll be older ones.

Hope to get out again with you soon!

Thanks for the bike shop tips. Currently looking at a GSXF750 on TM, needs a bit of TLC but $ is good and I like DIY! So I'll see how that goes - will keep you posted.
