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

[Bonez]

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!!!Do you think it makes me look slimmer? Seriously, I'm happy with it. Pockets for Africa though ah? The cell phone wallet is a nice touch. May even convince me to buy one ;). I'm a neo-Luddite at heart though.

Time to get the trusty leather jacket in to get mended and all spruced up for the next 10 years.

[NZsarge]

Sorry for not making it to the Cafe but I was very concerned there might be a downpour. I hope you didn't scare all those blondies at the other table Bonez.

Eh, look at you ya bloody cleveage spotter!:laugh:

On my bestiss behaviour. Bloody damn good cleavage to be seen though. Well worth it.
Very lovely to be sure :niceone::D

Excellent ride people, enjoyed that road even if the road was a little slippery in the odd spot, did anyone else have any slidey moments?:shifty:

[slydesigns]

Whos hitting the trackday on Sunday? For $40 you'd be mad NOT to. Its the perfect time for anyone new to riding or new to their current bike to take it out in assured one way traffic, with help on hand if need be, to get to grips with a few techniques etc. And the novice class is a pretty good place to start.

No gravel, no sheep, no cars, no surprises and plenty of advise on hand.

You'd need a pretty good reason NOT to be there really.

If the weather is going to be ok i'll be there but not to ride on the track. Just to spectate. I enjoy watching people ride 'round the track but it does'nt carry a great deal interest for me.

[Bonez]

You'd need a pretty good reason NOT to be there really.I hate crowds and $40 is about 550kms riding on the GB.

[HornetBoy]

is the track day tomorrow ? might have to make an appearance and give some of my expert advice .....:innocent:

Arguably the Manawtu RRRS would be a much better place to gain expert advice since 99.99% of the riding most people do is on the road, not the track.

Metservice have just changed their forcast to sunny so it can't be that bad.

I asked your neighbor why you weren't on the ride last night.

[NZsarge]

Bit of a pity you (Meanie) and Monie did'nt make it last night is was a good outing nice roads, bit slippery on the road from Apiti to the main drag though..well I thought so anyway, had the arse step out on me between Dog's place and Apiti too. Been having a play around with suspension settings today and I think there's been some worthwhile improvements.:niceone:

cheers ears, you're a bloody end of a leg, and thanks to cowboyz for helping unload at it's destination, champion effort, beverages are in lieu

[cowboyz]

what you thanking me for? I have no idea what you are talking about. Havent seen meanie or your bike today. i did see meanie heading down towards the tip though............

[slydesigns]

Well, went to Ashurst via Phil Turnbulls tonight (had to drop off last weekends DVD+RW's of the AMA SX and Superbikes - HUGE START CRASH and a Truimph kicking butt in the 600's!! - Anyone else wanting to be added to my distribution list let me know, GP is coming...)

Anyways, met up with the other guy from Feilding, the one with the Busa and the records in Drag racing that still stand today. We waited around to see if anyone would show between 6pm and 6.30pm at Mobil, but other than the locals riding by on a Speed Triple and a ZX 636, nothing was stirring.

So we went back to Feilding, he went home, I headed into the Halcombe hills then back home. A little boring

Anyone riding tomorrow? Me and Lis are picking up a CBR250R in the morning to get setup for our licence tests next week, then we will be off riding... anywhere. Anyone else?

[Meanie]

i did see meanie heading down towards the tip though............

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Well we just got home from our ride, went to the Hutt via Shannon, Paecok and home over the takas, Masterton, Mangamaire, Balance and the goerge.
What an awesome night for a ride, a little breezy but no sign of rain anywhere. Its midnight, we just got home and having a coffee.
Life is good

Sweet, was a bit annoyed I ran myself out of time to go too, would have made a nice change to do a longer ride but still there always tomorrow.

If you want to make it a big ride you can always join me as i'm of to ride with the Napier crew for a change of pace and I was thinking of dropping in on a friend afterwards but I have'nt spoken to him yet so I can give that the flick if you want to come along.

ah yea ... hmm i think Napier might be a bit to far of a trek at this point ..:( thanks anyway tho.

Might have to ride solo i think :pinch: do the para's maybe ....

what was the name of the gloves u got from alpinestars called were they GP PLUS? or SP 1,2,3 as im going in to get some from phil turnbulls today and liked those ones you had

[NZsarge]

Yep, GP plus, hope the price don't scare the be-jesus out of you though..
My Clover gloves are more comfortable and a little cheaper (but not much) but nice and effective kit rarely come cheap.

[slydesigns]

We will be at Phil Turnbull's in an hour or so, checking out some new boots and dropping off another DVD (WSBKs Phillip Island round) Dave to pick up, while waiting for the borrowed CBR250R gets a WoF (with luck). So if anyones going for a ride let us know, txt me or Lis on 027 242 0059 for me and 027 224 0603 for Lis.

What was the Napier ride all about? Weather is supposed to be pretty good over there too.

haha yea my bottom jaw dropped when i got told the price for them ,i said i only wanted 1 pair lol.

but of all the ones ive tried out those ones seem to be exactly what im after ,will be getting winters at the same time so i dont wear them out to fast.

plan is to work my bartering magic and get a deal :niceone: as i will be seeing about new boots too.

its going to be a expensive day i think,but its all complementary of STATE insurance :2thumbsup

Unless you want to come and do the paras with me and a guy from palmy ,he is coming over here at about 12?

Will be having lunch/stop in ratahei then probly go back down the same way or detour from oakune backroads to the para's.

no schedule's just whatever comes to mind as we go along.

[HornetBoy]

Bloody hot day it was today eh! ended up going up the parapara's and to oakune then we took a few random backroads back down to wanganui again, friggern great roads ive never even heard of.

Had a guy fly past me on the way up the para's on a gsxr1000 and a Full Suzuki team Leather Kit on, it was really amazing to see someone rideing that fast along such rugged roads, <_< ive got alot more rideing to do i think ...Anyway turned out the guy was Shane from Whitelock Suzuki so no wonder he was flying along :pinch: he did say he was a fast rider :laugh:

[slydesigns]

We ended up trying on boots all morning and watching my budget almost double until I found a comfortable pair, and rode around town on the 250 getting used to it for the licence test. Both riding into the speedway tonight.

Longer ride tomorrow I think... back blocks of halcombe are calling the 400's name.

[slydesigns]

Thursday the 13th, half hour restricted test for me and full for her starting at 3pm

well good luck for thurs :) hopefully I might swap license for a piece of paper tues :yes:

[NZsarge]

I've seen what you'll be riding for your test, it's all good, according to yod those things are a doddle to ride and I cant see any reason why they would'nt be. Good luck for your respective tests you guys. :niceone:

[Meanie]

Thursday the 13th, half hour restricted test for me and full for her starting at 3pm

Good luck you two, I am sure you wont have any problems

[slydesigns]

The problems will arise when you become complacent or a bad habit creeps in, like me alwasy taking my hands off the bars, or trying to balance while stationary instead of placing my feet down and for Lis, she stops with only one foot on the ground. You have to use both for the test.

Practice day today for riding correctly... aka anally

i thought you had your full's ,aren't you on 400's? :laugh:
Their is a thread on here from a guy who has done his full explaining all the little things the AA guy told him you need to show on your full test ,you might want to have a little look at that.

good luck with the test! any plans for new bikes yet ?

[slydesigns]

I've been racing bikes since knee high to a grasshopper, BMX, MTB, 125 MX, 250 MX, 125 SX both here and overseas (10th in the Northern Territories MX Champs (OZ) in 2000 on a loaned YZ125 while on deployment in Timor) so yes we are on 400's and no we aren't up to legal speed.

New bikes? Not really, I love the 400 and so does she. If they made a 600 or 650 version of a firestorm that would suit her.
If I ever bought a new bike it would probably be an 08 Ten Kate replica Hannspree CBR600RR.

O i don't have anything against you riding them at all if thats what you though ,as you probably know im in the same boat in terms of license and the bike i ride.

Has she ridden a sv650s and maybe added the full fairing kit to that ? they look like a mini firestorm :niceone:

id actually like to chat with you about some fairing decal designs for my katana .. i saw you run a sign design place or the like ..have a few ideas that id like to run past you etc

[chanceyy]

I hope so uneasy since I have not had a practice ride yet .. never mind get it early find a quiet st & practice a few U turns .. plus I hate tests at the best of times .. thats the only part I am worried about .. everything else all good ..

[slydesigns]

try the Feilding test, where they take you to the steepest hill here, make you ride up halfway. stop. Cut the engine. restart. Pull away and perform the U Turn as your going up the hill.
Sounds like fun to me but Lis said when she did it she was packing.

[yod]

for the full they'll ask you to tell them all the hazards you see at a particular intersection....make sure you include the examiner as well (ie: any vehicles behind you)

[robertydog]

I still remember all those years ago leaving the examiner for dead and meeting him back at the station. On a borrowed RD50

[Meanie]

I still remember all those years ago leaving the examiner for dead and meeting him back at the station. On a borrowed RD50

I did the same thing, lost him at the first set of lights and never saw him again until i got back to the police station, was traffic cops back then

[Bonez]

Anything happening tonight?

If not may I suggest a wee sojourn over to the "Stump" if thats not too much of an effort? Assemble Ashhust 5:30 to leave at Six?

Alternative could be Dogs aboad and back. If found the spare CB250RS barrel last weekend.

[86GSXR]

Bugger! I wish I'd seen this a few hours earlier. Twas a perfect night :blank:

[NZsarge]

Anyone interested in doing a low key day ride to Gisborne on either the weekend of (June) 5th or 6th or if that weekend is no good weather wise the following (11th and 12th)?
Will have to be a early start so we don't have to rush things and maybe look toward a late lunch in Gizzy.
thoughts? yes/no?
Opps, should have posted this in "Manawatu rides".

[Bonez]

Ride on tomorrow?

[chanceyy]

We was robbed ref!!!

Nah typical canes playing,can't handle the pressure,seem to think they are not capable of starting the game plan from beginning.They give too many points away at the start.

[rottiguy]

Your right Alan, I think nzsarge probably means 7th and 8th of June or the next weekend for the gisbourne day ride :whistle:
I could be keen for a run then, might have a new Bandit by then :blip:

[slydesigns]

[NZsarge]

What's the weather doing over there? Looking pretty overcast over this side, at least it's not blowing a howling gale :rolleyes:

not always lee just remember alot of ppl are not computer literate .. most areas start up new thread for the daylight savings ride each yr .. but hey wot ever .. just know comments regarding trying to find info about rides & trolling through hundreds of pages ..

Feel free to change the heading.

No dramas Sandra, I often just click the heading that says "last page" so I don't have to go trolling through pages...

I think if there were another thread started then you will just have another one everyone has to keep an eye on.. Thought we had enough already....

Hey fellow manawatu smart man, where were you heading this afternoon?

If I remember correctly it was comments made that the manawatu weekend rides was started and request to keep it free from drivel .. & the crap thread became that .. cause ppl made comments it was to hard to find rides ..

meh I dunna care one way or another, was just a thought ..

[chanceyy]

Thought we had enough already....

far more than most other area's but then we talk far more crap as well

Other areas generally list the casual rides by yr & start a new one each season .. the other is either closed or dies its own death

but like I said no probs this one can stay ..

[cowboyz]

Hey fellow manawatu smart man, where were you heading this afternoon?


Was heading up to see about a cow. Loving 86s road. Gave it a bit of a nudge..........

Good times.

We have one for crap talk, one for weekend rides and one for friday night rides - Oops I mean, the Manwatu smart peoples friday night ride.
The Friday night ride is easier to keep track of because it always leaves from Ashhurst Mobil and always at 6pm so the only info needed to troll for is the route and most of the time no one cares where we are going.

I'm sure it will be fine, let it do it's thing, it will organise itself, just enjoy the crap we manawatu people talk lol

Now leave the thread for the serious stuff like organised rides hahah

I've worked out some back roads to ashhurst

[banditrider]

I've got the bot (again). Should I be going go-carting tonight or tucking myself up in bed and trying to kill the bug so I can ride on Friday night (and Saturday)?

If you're asking you're good enough to go. Enjoy the moment. Sickie Tomorrow.

Boss'll be there too...

[ynot slow]

Boss'll be there too...

Simple just sneeze in the helmet and give it to him,if your not at work next day he won't be either.

[banditrider]

He's not too bad, rides a Connie...

[KiwiKat]

You can't refuse a work doo. I hope he's shouting.

[mowgli]

I'm heading through to Havelock North Friday evening then on to Auckland on Sunday. Was going to be leaving Palmy around 5:30 so will call by Ashurst and head over the saddle with you guys. I'll probably head up SH50 for a change.

Sunday I'm thinking SH5 and SH27. I'll have most of the afternoon and the benefit of daylight saving so I'm open to suggestions.

[cowboyz]

come home via east cape/forgotten highway.

[banditrider]

You can't refuse a work doo. I hope he's shouting.

Managed to survive it - now I have to go to work tomorrow.

[mowgli]

come home via east cape/forgotten highway.

Don't think there'll be time for East Cape on this trip. I finish up at Whenuapai around 1pm Wednesday so only have the afternoon and evening to get home. I need to be fit for flying the following morning :doh:

Was thinking about coming down through Raetihi and SH4 so the forgotten highway might fit in. It's mostly SH43 (I think). What's the road through Ohura like?

[cowboyz]

mint. but pretty slow. last time we came through there we had goats/sheep/lambs. Pretty nerve racking if you are trying to go quick.

Ever been down fields track? thats an interesting piece of scenery (and note, its called fields track not fields road)

[Horse]

He's not too bad, rides a Connie...

Have you told him it's wider than a Harley yet? :)

[yod]
