25th November-250/Hyosung ride, all welcome.

[Pancakes]

Hey I'm planning on a 4-5 hour ride staying off SH 1 and on the curly bits from north or west AK and heading north. Meet at Shell Westgate at 9:15, Sunday the 25th of November. Leaving 9:45 or maybe a bit later if people are definite but not there yet. Isn't a mentor ride or a guided tour but can meet along the route to re-group and newbies are welcome along with bigger bikes too.

Would be cool to have a big Hyosung turnout and get some pics etc too.

[MattyP]

If I'm not working - I'm in. Will have my new Screamin' Demon by then :2thumbsup

[TRAINING WHEELS]

Yea i am deff keen to rid with othes send me a pm closer to date an ill make sure i remember....

[Pancakes]

Hey Mr 'Wheels! You can go here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1442&day=2007-11-25&) and request a reminder. I'll try my best to PM you tho. Should be a good day for everyone!

[TRAINING WHEELS]

Thank you ...i tried to click on it before but was not working for me at the time...sorted now though....ps its miss wheels although not important lol

[Pancakes]

Hahahah. Yeah, since I've been married I have someone who tells me what is and isn't important! Apparantly cleaning is more important than going for a ride. I wouldn't have guessed it but hey, what do I know?

[EJK]

Tempting.... lol

[discotex]

Holy hyobag batman!!! A 250 ride heading north!

Not going to say I'll be there just yet but there's a good chance. Haven't booked my full yet but it should be on the 26th so must go for one last fang on the twofiddycent.

[Pancakes]

Good thread here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=60340) about group rides.

[disenfranchised]

Sounds sweet, as long as the weather behaves.
I'll have to see if my better half is interested too

[Pancakes]

I'll have a well worn weather eye out and will post if it's looking dodgy the day before with the final call that morning. Will be early enough that people can check before they leave the warmth of home.

I'm crossing my fingers for a wicked scorcher tho!

As long as I'm not working then I'll turn up! and my wife as well so theres 2x Hyo's for ya :) have to bring the camera if we get a good Hyo turn out!

[rphenix]

Hahahah. Yeah, since I've been married I have someone who tells me what is and isn't important! Apparantly cleaning is more important than going for a ride. I wouldn't have guessed it but hey, what do I know?

Does the other half have a bike yet? if not get her one! My wife hadn't rode a bike with the exception of say a scooter before we got married but she hates driving the car now after having her own bike to go to work etc!

[Cr1MiNaL]

sounds good now I can finally own someone !!!

[Pancakes]

It'd me wicked to have you come along Raj!

rphenix, she's not really interested. She likes going for rides with me but my bike is so gutless I make sure I'm not in the mood for a blaze cos it doesn't happen 2-up!

[The Pastor]

i'd be fully keen!

[gtr boy]

i could be in on this,
i went up to helensville then past kaukop,along woodcocks rd to walkworth then back down to orewa last sunday
was a good ride for my cbr .
mint day as well

[TRAINING WHEELS]

Just an FYI there are alot of road works and loose gravel along 16 up to welsford and through Kaipra flats at the moment ....

[Pancakes]

It'll be the long way 'round all the way. I've been eyeing up my map book looking for twisty lines! Will be trying to steer clear of 16 (cops) main highways and roadworks etc and with a good few hours in the saddle I'm sure easing off for gravel if it turns up will be ok. Not sure how long the whole ride will turn out to be but it should be a goodie!

Sorry new to Auckland keen to come but not sure where Shell Westgate is??? Cheers:no:

[Pancakes]

Where are you coming from?

Go North/West on the NorthWestern (not to the city, the other way). Once your at the end of the motorway turn left and you'll see the Shell (red/yellow) on your left after a few hundred meters.

See ya there!

[Aa7]

[Pancakes]

Go nuts Raj! I wanna see a smokin' rear stepped out sideways as you pass tho!

[Pancakes]

Aa7

About ten bikes I think, won't really know till people show up which is fine. Weather should be mint as. That would be a good number. Not too much waiting around etc but a good crew. See you punks there. Have breakfast.

[TRAINING WHEELS]

Im not going to make it sorry boys as i still cant sleep lol....(waa waa waa) lol

[Pancakes]

I hear ya. I have two that both have colds at the mo'. Cough cough, all night. Got them new bikes today tho' so they're worn out and sleeping solid now.

Thats the Pancakes tip to parents. Don't keep your kids in bed or in front of a TV if their sick, bundle them up, feed them fruit and send them out side to get worn out! Sleep heals all.

I'm too cheap to pay for brekkie, there is MacDonalds right by there or a Robert Harris Cafe etc in Westgate shops right near so I'm sure you'd have company if your were stopping somewhere first.

Yeah mate, more than welcome.

Leve ya gear by your bed and the bike ready to go. Dunno where you are but I'm sure you could be there by quarter to 10 and still have a bit of a lie in?

[Pancakes]

Looks like clear skies and not as hot as the scortchers we had a few days back so pretty good really.

If the weather is bad enough to call it off I'll post here by 8:15 tomorrow morning, no post = RIDE ON.

If anyone wants to get in touch by text if you need to be waited for etc I'm on 027 438 2742.

See you guys there.

[Kiwi2003]

:cool:Hi Guys, thanks for the company and ride, really ejoyed it....great roads excluding shingle. Got a bit held up at the end we had on minor casualty, not sure of the guys name but on a mint CBR600 slight misjudge of the corner, bike and rider down nothing too serious which was good!!! Bike and rider up and all fine, just followed him home to make sure in all order, which it was.
Think the 999 has a few more stone chips from the roads but hey thats cool.
Till next time.......
Greg: Yellow 999s

[EJK]

[disenfranchised]

Cheers all for a fun day out.
I'll have to head up to Mangawhai and Waipu a few more times this summer, it's really nice up there

I got a bit lost on the way back, ended up going all the way round SH16 through Helensville....I probably should had followed Greg on his Ducati when he turned off :doh:

All good though...less gravel that way :D

[Pancakes]

Yeah EJ! WIcked one!

Sorry if the other people at the servo had turned up for the ride, I only checked the people who had put their names down were there. Will be less slack if I post another one!

Ended up in a bunch of 8. 2 Ho-Bags, 2 R6's, 2 Dukes and 2 Hondas.

Wellsford, Te Hana, Mangawhai. Loved it.

Sorry the pics aren't the best.

[EJK]

2 Hyo and 1 Honda 250cc? O...K.......

This was suppose to be a Hyosung 250cc ride! lol

[Pancakes]

OH! Shame to scratch that Hoon-dah.

[carbacca]

lol only two hyos??

sorry i gave the ride a miss. i went south with GIjoe instead, there were two hyos there too

[shepster]

Hey Pancakes thanks for the ride, I had a blast. Never been up to Waipu in all my years in AK. Great to meet some other KBer's as well. Looking Forward to next time. Was Glad to see the guy on the cbr was ok. Thought the worst when I first saw it but from what he said he wasn't going that fast. Bugger all damage as well. Cheers.

[Pancakes]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it. I'm sooo jelous of your bike, sexytime! Lovin the orange. Yeah out of the group I have only ridden with Raj before but we were all in the same vibe and thats always good. Rude for that guy, he was nice too, offering to TEC for my shoddily organised ride!

[Kiwi2003]

Good stuff guys. Good safe riding and Pancakes you were going great....nice and smooth. Glad the bloke on the CBR was ok, I was right behind...he just overcooked the corner a tad, nothing serious which is great. Bike wasnt too bad at all, he was caught out once into the shingle.can happen to us all (or has!@!). Keep safe chaps

[Pancakes]

And as we were heading back all those cops looked gutted they were already busy! hehehe, not that they could have done us for anything, two radar detectors at the front never hurts eh!

[Cr1MiNaL]

Nope, not us.

[Luckylegs]

Ah yes the "dumbass" on the Honda....

Firstly thanks all, was a great day...

As for the other wee matter. Well I can safely say that all is well. There is some scratching to the fairing but even that is minor. Other than that she needs a bath !!!

A few factors, but the key to it all was "losing concentration". That just meant evrything happened sooner than I was prepared for and made a bad decision(s) ...

Thanks to Shepster and Greg (cant recall your KB handle just at the Mo) for the hand getting the bike upright again and hanging around with me on my slow (read: cautious) ride back to civilisation.

[disenfranchised]

And as we were heading back all those cops looked gutted they were already busy! hehehe, not that they could have done us for anything, two radar detectors at the front never hurts eh!

Anyone know the guy on the GPX250 I saw pulled over on SH16?
(I was pretty far behind so I'm not sure if everyone else saw him or not)
Pretty sure we saw him going through Waipu Cove when we were eating lunch too.

[Luckylegs]

Saw the GPX... both when they went past at Wellsford and when we when past while they were getting their dressing down. I had assumed it was probably the Waipu person.

...No idea who it was though

[EnzoYug]

Sounds like you guys had a sweet ride. Glad to hear everyone made it back in 1 piece.

Don't forget to post pic's if you've got em.

[Pancakes]

Just two pic up the thread a ways, probably two of the worst ones I've ever taken!

I'd love to be far enough ahead that I could get set up on a corner but it didn't happen, maybe next time.
