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

[Jamiepo]

More than welcome.

(puts chanceyy voice on)
Just bear in mind that there will be a few experienced riders who ride these roads every day, also be peeps that have had their bikes less than a week. Whatever your pace you will fit in just fine but dont jump in over your head cause it gets real messy real fast.
(takes chanceyy voice off)
Would be good to meet up though. What bike you planning on picking up?

Cheers for that, Will hopefully be picking up a '90 fzr250. Something fun to blat round on.

Yes indeedy.

[ynot slow]

Someone else thats a bit dillusional :crazy: well convert him and teach him the error of his ways

That conversion must be rubbing off on me,Wednsday had a look at AFC some nice Kwakas,like the GPX? 250 nice bike,good value for learners/restricted,the concours don't seem soo big up real close and stable footing(a guy parked one next to us on a cruise midweek last year,but left it in neutral and on roadside gravel started moving on him whilst dismounting),then had a look at the Honda guys,didn't get to PTM to check out the mighty suzis.

hmm that ride was Anzac day .. I remember it well :whistle: ...

kinda thinking of a similar route for waitangi day but apart from getting lost thought we could do the middle road loop (end back at the pub again)

where is bonez hiding .. since he knows this area like the back of his hand ...

remember it well, that was the Hainswof/nasty corner/target fixation bin day

you mean the Waipawa -> Patangata -> Middle Rd -> Havelock -> Kahuranaki Rd -> Elsthorpe -> Patangata loop we did a while back?

....funnily enough the green bike was absent and we didnt get lost...:whistle:

I think that this ride should take the pace of the ride I was thinking about (Te Awanga/Clifton) cause gawd knows when that might happen so might be better to leave it to latter in the year perhaps, not to mention it's pretty much the same loop I was considering.:niceone:

[yod]

I have a nice little add-on to it as well....

yeah thats the one .. dunno if adding weber in will make it a really huge ride though ?? or can ride up turn off at ormsondville again

[yod]

Spill.....

was thinking we could go the reverse to last time, so Patangata to Elsthorpe then up Kahuranaki Rd, etc....

but at Elsthorpe we could hang a right and nip out to Kairakau Beach - only about 25-30km there and back, road looks good and is sealed, maybe have lunch out there (if there are any shops...who knows)

just a little diversion for half an hour or so

[yod]

yeah thats the one .. dunno if adding weber in will make it a really huge ride though ?? or can ride up turn off at ormsondville again

dannevirke to waipuk via weber is about 120km, but going via ormondville, takapau, etc its about 60km so i guess an extra hour/hour and a quarter since we'll probably stop at Wimbledon and the road would be slower going too

I spose without the weber loop it would be a 6 hour ride so maybe 7-7.5 if its included?? (thats ashhurst to ashhurst btw)

Either way you know it's a good ride.
The road condition from Weber to Wimbledon being the only reel issue with going that way I reckon.
But it's not a race so if everyone rides accordingly it should be all good.

The place you refer to in this post has a capital A and not one but two H's

I would hate you to upset the locals. Also anything derogatory about Kawasaki Heavy Industries doesn't go down well either.

Meh just kidding mate, had a '04 XR6 Turbo on lease until about 8 months ago, nice car that, it was a great cruising machine. That said, if I was coined up and looking for a brand new aussie car, having driven one I would go a VE commodore, they have moved the game on from the BA/BF fords.
But in reality, being the only one in my car usually I would buy a VW Golf GTi on the 18 inch telephone dial alloys. :drool:

you got a fair bit of work to do then. Start by emptying the oil out of your bike and going up to taupo. That should take care of the bike. Dont tell your boss your going and that could take care of the job. You may have to go up north for some personal training with the attitude though.

You slowed down a bit,get ahead of them they breed,don't want any mutts upsetting the pedigree of suzi's.

If your riding tommorrow have a good one,bloody windy here,might go and watch the 20/20 cricket after tea.

[Meanie]

[GSVR]

how about mt messenger, awakino and eight mile?:laugh:

now THATS a hardcore friday night easy ride:headbang:

[NZsarge]

1) Ashhurst, over the saddle rd, down to Pahiatua, through to Alfredton, back to Eketahuna then back up the main road and back over the track

2) halcombe, hunterville, vinegar hill loop

3) pohangina valley, mangaweka, vinegar hill loop

4) halcombe, fordell, hunterville, vinegar hill? not sure how long that would be?



Number three in reverse? I dunno...

[GSVR]

well what are you waiting for an invite :):)

I just did a bit of recon work to see how the roads match up and how long. My ride took me about an hour. Starts heading out Pohangnia turn onto Valley Road just before the Waterford and then heads out Cheltenham but from then it takes in a few roads that most have not been on.

[cowboyz]

Hell yea and we will use the green bike eh

its not green. It is red!

[Meanie]

Yeah Ashhurst garage is where I will be . Is 6.00pm the normal time I thought it was 6.30pm but if everyone can make 6.00pm thats great.

[slydesigns]

I'll be jetting back from Wanganui... any chance of the first leg of the ride being leaked incase I miss you at ashurst. I'll them meet you enroute and try not to t-bone the snot green ticket magnet.

Make the leaving time 6.30pm and first regrouping point at Cheltenham about 15 - 20min after that. But you never know with these guys. Pretty sure the ride will go thru Cheltham even if the route changes.

[NZsarge]

I might.......just might be in with a grin today :calm::whistle:

Just clicked who Polly is.... I bought some nitrous oxide gear for my car off an english guy in Feilding. He was a world record holder for large bike drag racing in Europe, a genius fabricator and loved his big jap bikes.

That would be Polly.

I hope you don't get pulled over for your package either, surely the cops have better taste :laugh: So who is she then, eh eh :jerry:

[GSVR]

The cops probabaly know who I am and my instablity problems so leave me alone as they don't want the hassle. No fun watching a guy have a nervous breakdown after being pulled over.

Pissed down from Ashhurst to home though. Stopped to pickup/move some tree branches again, this time about 5 kms before Apiti. Seems to be a common occurence lately.

I was also interested to see how the rear shenko handled the wet. Not bad at all. No worse than any other tyre I've had on the CX.

Sundays looking good. Hope the Hogley boys n girls have a good weekend.

[cowboyz]

cant keep a good man down huh? sorry couldnt be chattyer when you called in. Just sat down with inlaws and kids to watch ratatouille. great movie too!

Rode out to Scotts Ferry/ Moana Roa beach yesterday evening. Then back thru Sandtoft coming out onto the highway just past the old Lake Alice complex. Good ride with plenty of corners. The ride to back Feilding I came in via Sandon Rd. Was home by about 7.30 after leaving around 5.45pm.

Bloody good ride, and great to meet more of the locals. I really need to do that Apiti loop more often, it's good twisty experience. Just need to find a better return route - that Apiti-Cheltenham-Feilding section is a little lacking in the excitement. And thanks for hanging out with the slowpoke Bonez, I'm happy to ride at my own pace but I wasn't exactly sure of the route - as you saw! :)

Only two real pucker moments - one on a straight bit as a farm worker pulls up to the edge of the road on a quad.... and keeps going. "Surely she's seen us and is going to stop?" thinks I - nope, had to haul on the anchors, by the time she stopped I was already slow enough to go around her. And she was looking right at us the whole time!

And one LH corner onto one of the narrow one-lane bridges I was a little fast (for me!) and a little wide and met a car coming the other way. No great drama except the mottled pattern on the bridge made me think it was all loose gravel. Turns out it's just the colour of the surface texture, but had me worried for a split second. I need to watch my line on those blinder corners - if there had been gravel on that bridge (as there are on some of the others) it could have been slightly more exciting.

but you made it there and back and no damage to the bikes which is good.

Gave the 9 a bit of a nudge tonight. Been a while since I gave it a workout and can confirm that even over 100000km it still acts like its a young-en.

Great entertainly ride.

cheers

And thanks for hanging out with the slowpoke Bonez, I'm happy to ride at my own pace but I wasn't exactly sure of the route - as you saw! :)No worries. Good to see the Hyosung flag been raised yet again. Looks good in red (que Monie) It seems that there's at least one on almost each ride lately.

Cheers for the ride last night guys. It was a lot of fun! Special thanks to Barry for the Kerry Wallis info. It turns out that Kerry is also an expert with the tuning software I have, so he may have some really useful information.
If I don’t see you guys on the road this weekend, I’ll no doubt see you sometime after Easter.:spudwave:
Oh, before I forget. Nice jacket Bonez!!!
