Coast to Coast, 8 December

[GSVR]

Read in the local paper that the date for this years Woodville Lions Club Coast to Coast is Saturday December the 8th.

Sign on at 9.30am Ride starts at 10.30am.

[Meanie]

Yep got an email from the Woodville Lyons club (i think thats who sent it to me) confirming the date and to say ACC is sponsering high visibility vests this year
Id prefer they lower the ACC content of motor cycle registration personaly
Ill be attending at this stage unless something comes up
You gonna come and see us off are you Garry :rofl:

[dogsnbikes]

Hmmmm lots of bikes crowded roads

coromandel anyone

[Meanie]

Hmmmm lots of bikes crowded roads

coromandel anyone

Know what you mean but its to raise money for the rescue chopper

Coromandel sounds tempting but

[chanceyy]

always wanted to do this ride .. & do not mind supporting the rescue chopper at all

just have to wait to see how long it is before betsy is back in action ....

[dogsnbikes]

Know what you mean but its to raise money for the rescue chopper

Coromandel sounds tempting but

doing toy run the week before and I plan to be in BOP that weekend

[Bonez]

Hmmmm lots of bikes crowded roads

coromandel anyoneStumbled across Cowboyz a few years back on the "250" on a Coast to Coast. It's not too bad after lunch from Woodville out to the beach.

Might even skip the beach this year and head across to Webber, Wimbledon, Blackhead beach, backroads to Havelock North.

[banditrider]

See ya at Himatangi.

[NZsarge]

Sounds good.
Whats the usual turn out for this ride?

[oldrider]

I have been wanting to do this ride and decided to go last year.

Unfortunately it clashed with the South Island KB ride in at Otematata.

It's a nostalgic trip for me, I grew up across that whole area and my first job was at Akitio near the beach.

Unfortunately it clashes with the SI KB "Staging Post" this year too! (probably forever now)

I am leaving it until the last minute to decide but leaning heavily toward the NI Coast to Coast this year. :confused:

The prospect of so much congestion on the roads doesn't mean I will get much of a look around though.

Too busy looking where I am going and looking out for other riders! :yes: John.

[banditrider]

Sounds good.

Probably a minimum of a couple of hundred. Not all go the whole way. Hopefully no prangs this year.

[NZsarge]

Yeah i've heard that there is generally an off most times this ride is on..

[Nasty]

something came up .. .we are off to Auckland .... damn would have enjoyed this one!

[dhunt]

Well I think it was last year some old guy had a heart attack as everyone went through fielding and came off his bike. But generally the rides are pretty well organised and the pace is pretty good. A cop car leads at the front and everyone has too follow.

Well that certainly is encouraging! :lol: :doh: Cheers John.

[et al]

I have done this ride and can recommend it - is a good ride, for a good cause. I understand they usually alternate the route from Foxton to Woodville, going via Feilding/Ashurst Saddle one year then via Shannon/Pahiatua Track road Gorge bypass following year. If the organisers stick to that rotation then I think it would be Shannon/Gorge bypass this time. I have found everyone to be pretty well behaved on "Stage 1" from Foxton to Woodville where the ride usually tags on the end of their Xmas parade (the kids there seem to love seeing the bikes come through). After a decent lunch break you can choose whether to continue on with"Stage 2" to Akitio (which can be a more challenging ride than Stage 1), or make your own way back home.
PS: My experience has been that there is a good chance you will encounter wet weather at some stage of the journey so it would be wise to be prepared for that.

Don't expect any wet weather this year.

[merv]

Its a great ride, I've done it 8 times and if you haven't been give it a go. I'll probably miss it this year because I'm just getting home to my house from Sydney about 1am that morning and Mrs merv will probably want me staying in bed for a while.

[cowboyz]

it has gathered a bit of a repuation over the years but it is a good ride. I go every year. Probably the quietest ride of the year for me and stay out of race mode as there are plenty of bikes with plenty to prove. Yes there has been at least 1 bin on every one I have been on but if someone is pissing me off I let them by and dont get caught up in it. The year we met bonez was the best. we had a clear run through to the beach with just 3 bikes which was shocking cause there were 400 on the ride. Riding out from Himatangi is surseal with bikes as far as you can see.

[davefireblade]

yeah it mite b crowded but its great 2 b part of it ive done 2 plenty of windies

[chanceyy]

well since Betsy is back I am in :yes:

looking forward to this one

[HornetBoy]

I might attend this one :shifty: never done it before so not sure what to expect,other than heavily congested roads and lots of raceing ... hope its good tho

Thats funny, I was thinking of heading South for the SI KB do, until I saw the C2C was on the same weekend.I did it last year and enjoyed it, despite a bit of wet stuff.
Came back from Akitio via the gravel road, that was one of the best bits of the ride.
Still tossing up also...
John pm me if you are coming up....could do accomodation

[Slingshot]

Sounds good.
Whats the usual turn out for this ride?

Has been up to 400-500 odd bikes, depends on the weather really.


Yeah i've heard that there is generally an off most times this ride is on..
You get that many people riding together and someone is bound to come off.

That font colour is shocking! It's lucky I'm not hung over.

[cowboyz]

does that mean you are still drunk?

[wayne708]

Have been out to Akitio to day as I will be working the weekend of the Coast to Coast ride. Can say the road from the turn off Hwy 52 to the coast is excellent As for most of the other roads we travelled there has been minor roadworks and sections of small loose metal with is hard to read sometimes going in and out of shaded areas. Unfortunately one bike was taken out by some pine cones on a sweeping corner.Not too much damage and was able to continue riding.

[GSVR]

Last year a few of us met up at a service station on Pioneer Highway. Could met at BP Rangitiki Street or the one on the corner of Pioneer Highway and Botanical Road. That way Wild Bean consumables can be consumed while waiting for the usual late suspects to arrive.

Sounds like a plan......... what time ?

[NZsarge]

Might do this as a part ride, donation to the cause and all.

I loved akitio when we went there on V8's first KB trip out.

When you say "what did we start there" are you referring to the ride to Akitio or to me getting in on these great rides? I'm not all bad am I? lol

[GSVR]

BP Rangitiki Street (because most of us know where it is) at 9am. This gives plenty of time to get there and talk bull to people you only see once a year on these rides.

Wouldn't mind doing a scenic route out there if its a good day. The blue route on the map.

[GSVR]

Have another go at this

[banditrider]

Hopefully all of the triplets will make it for a photo op.

Seeya either at the BP or out at the beach.

[HornetBoy]

What is the route/km's for the coast to coast ride guys ?

I will prob go for a blat down himitangi straights & could met you when you come onto bainesse road ..

[banditrider]

What is the route/km's for the coast to coast ride guys ?

It's about 400ks or so all up from Palmy to Palmy. They do alternate between the saddle & the track so won't know for sure until ya sign up.

hey Andrew what is the cost for the day etc .. & do you just stop to gas up where you need too & where on the rides are gas stations past woodville ?

[banditrider]

hey Andrew what is the cost for the day etc .. & do you just stop to gas up where you need too & where on the rides are gas stations past woodville ?

I think it may have cost about $20 last year for entry plus badge (badge optional) but that gets you a couple of snags and a drink at Woodville.

You're never gonna get lost and the ride spreads out heaps so you can stop wherever you feel the need for gas etc. They say to gas up at Woodville and that's probably a good idea considering your range. Be prepared to queue...

The shop at Pongaroa will probably be in action too so you could top up there and then you'll get to the beach and back to Danniverke no worries.

If the ride goes through Fielding I usually gas up there and I know I'll get right through to Danniverke - less of a queue etc.

There's drinkee's etc available at the beach.

so from himitangi normally head to feilding then across to woodville & join in the xmas parade etc ...then danniverke & inland from that point ?

betsy gets about 180 so should make it to danniverke unless its a real windy route on the way

If I can afford to reg my bike , I'm in , missed out last year due to work .

I have heard through the grape vine that they doing a reg & wof cheek somewhere , anyone now if that true?

WHAT!! thats crazy grr yea there is alot of acc content in the ride aye... that would hold up traffic..

[u4ea]

I know a lot of riders who have opted out of this one this year due to the hi-vis vest fiasco..can't say I'de wear one either!..good cause? Shame Aunty Helen doesn't support our rescue helicopters a bit more....:bye:

Never happened yet - it'd be a nightmare trying to check all the bikes.

As I said , I heard it through the grape vine so I could be Wrong

[HornetBoy]

Yea soundsa bit of a myth but i cant imagine it tho with all the latest road accidents etc :buggerd: but i dont think id be keen to wear vests and keep constant watch on my speed ;)

not the case and cant ever see it happening. There are just too many bikes around to check.

tell them to HTFU. I think there could be a few photo oppourtunities with the HiVis vest. For one, you know there is no other time you will ever find me wearing one.

It is not as bad as it seems. Yes it is police patrolled but they are not on you like a hawk if you are being sensible. Last year I followed a cop at 125km/hr to woodville. I did hear of a couple of guys being charged with dangerous riding but none for speeding.

I read a bit bout it in the local rag .. nuffin bout it being mandatory, but they wanna use the ride to test a variety of jackets with ACC workers being posted along the route to see which ones give the most visability where else will you get several hundred riders along the same route

I dunna mind wearing one for the day but my choice to wear or not to wear one after that ... & it would be the later

[HornetBoy]

O ok thats good then

[banditrider]

Here's my rough maps - probably stuffed up here and there out in the wops:

Cowboyz can put me right...

I'd say option 2 would be a good guess for this year as I'm pretty sure we went over the saddle last year. (Pretty sure - done it 7 or 8 times now...)

RE the vests - a lot of guys where them now esp on the big rides. Hate to sound like an old fart or something but with the number of bad accidents (including one's caused by the cops) lately they may not be too silly an idea. Lotta dudes had them on the GC...

Queuing for fuel looks like a real pain. It is a long way back to Masterton afterwards. Do many carry extra fuel? I think I may carry an extra 5 litres.

They are very quick with the fuel in Woodville on the day, the next is filling up before you have paid for yours

This ride is not listed as an event in the KB calendar.
I could add it but better for someone who is in the know, been there done that, has the blessing of the organisers, is a hero, etc. And can get the details correct. Then there may be some more interest in this ride?
At the moment am I the only person from Wellington planning the ride? :whistle:

I am planning to leave from Johnsonville Train Station at 8.00am. I will look at the weather forecast at 7.00am and decide then based on if it looks like rain at Woodville. If marginal rain I will go.
Koroj will go if the weather prevents a painting project.

Will be traveling in the company of my mate Doug on his Pantah 500. We'll see you all at the BP.

Got a crook guts at the mo so might even call it quits partway through.

It'll be good to catch up with you again Pete.

[Meanie]

Yea if the weather dont improve well probably head home from woodville, but you never know it may just fine up eh :woohoo:

[ynot slow]

Fine here in the naki enjoy the ride and be safe people.

[u4ea]

Heard Chancyy ride past and toot a few minutes ago!Rain is just a drizzle and looks like its clearing so hopefully they have a dry day!Now Im just waiting to see if the ride goes past my place...should look impressive!:rolleyes:

[u4ea]

Well about 1000 bikes(????) just went past my place....as I have adopted a 5 1/2 week old kitten(sad story but shes saved now) I ran out to the roadside with her shoved down my jumper.........and managed to get a sneaky shot of Chancyy....

[GSVR]

Good ride apart from the wet. Meet up with alot of people I hadn't seen for a while. Hope everyone had a good trip home.

Saw you on the side of the road just before Shannon U4EA only realized it was U after I past otherwise would have tooted or something.

Doug and I got home alright.

Went the back route to the Saddle rd. We where very tempted to hang a right at Ashurst and do the Pahogina loop. It was a very welcoming scene coming down the saddle rd seeing the sun streaming down on the mighty Manawatu.

Gerble performed exceptionally well as usual.

hmmmm. few seconds late it would have been a quality photo with a green bike in it. I know you are not surposed to bag organised events and such but this has been the worst coast to coast I have attended. Might start a rant thread about it after I get back from getting drunk.

[Bonez]

you trolling bonez:laugh:ssh I've deleted it.

Now where was I , oh yes, HTFU. Maybe that's bit harsh. Oh well................


One off on the Balance rd, a gent was picking up large bits of black plastic at that right hander where there's normally cow shit(which wasn't the real cause of the bin by the looks).

Certainly a lot of better behaved riding this year. In saying that at least one other rider had bum puckering moment. No, it wasn't I. There appeared to be quite a few riders that had'nt done a lot of riding in the rain before. But the more "experianced" folk should make allowances for that.

Generally I think it wasn't too bad considering the conditions.

Oh and well done those that completed the whole run. Thanks also to the organisers and voleenteers.

It'll be interesting to see Anthonys report on the ride too. Lucky bugger. Helo ride, then loaned sprot bike from Woodville out to the east coast.

garmin etrex legend. doesnt do auto-routing on the unit but you can set autorouting on a PC and upload the track to the unit and follow it. I really only use it for recording purposes and works really well.

thanks for that,might look into one of them,just have to work out some kind of mount :wacko: ,i really just want on that has trip metering capabilities like top speed,avg speed etc and can give a rough idea on directions.

[sinned]

I have been on my first Coast to Coast.

Koroj and I linked up at Johnsonville at 8.00am and meet up with Sels1 an Wayne708 at Foxton. I was surprised there were so many bikes there early. The weather out on th coast road was bad and that added to the experience.

We came back via Weber, fueling bike and body at Dannevirke. The trip home was via the gorge, Shannon, SH1 and the of course the hill for a semi fast run on the good stuff. Next year I will be there again.

Arrived home safe and sound,between drink stops lol.

ride sucked. full of tossers - much more than any other year. Plenty of well deserved running off the road and a couple of well timed bins. The Yod showed up adn brought the rain. Then we got very very very wet. Finally made it on to dry roads and I got a punchure.

Made up for it with a very entertaining after match party with a show in all british colour. Oh and the Yod Vs petrol prices on the way home was quite entertaining too. Bloody good night. have to sort out the photos that are suitable for kiwibiker - I doubt there will be many.

felt for ya. original report was that Meanies concours and a green kwaka had fallen over. Mad rush to get over there and then felt a little guilty about my relief when I found my bike standing safe. Real shame that one.

Shame really.
It was tosser anonymous (TM) this year. Much much worse than any other. This was my first year on the 9 and it just seemed like a magnet for the members of T.A. They just HAD to get past. Had a heap passing right off our shoulder even though we were 2 up and I never got out of 3rd from Himitangi to Woodville. Doesnt hurt to give some room aye? Even the run out the coast there were LOTS and LOTS of people who were VERY VERY cautious in the rain. I dont want to bag anyone who is riding carefully but it was frustrating working the way through traffic picking the moments to pass safely to have some tosser passing 4 or 5 bikes right on their shoulder or on a blind corner. Did get a little satisfaction seeing the bike in Balance picking up his fairings. (oops, thats right. it was probably some other factor that made him crash and we are not surposed to bag another biker, maybe it was the aliens)

The after partys are always good when bikers are involved on the other hand!
:niceone:
yes. It certainly was a great one. Just editing the photos and deciding which ones should be posted and which ones should be kept for blackmailing purposes.

Have to agree with you on that one cowboyz.

Was carefully riding along incognito on my mates TLR1000 (A bike that matches my jacket and helmet now ;) ) taking it nice and easy, when all of a sudden it seems somebody had heard that the sausages at Woodville were running out!

VRoom! I get smoked by a few bikes who think they are about to get the best sausages. Then WOW! 30 seconds later bikes parked everywhere. Black plastic all over the road.

Make sure plenty had stopped for assistance, and carried on.

Had a laugh about that at lunch... and all the 250's that thought is was soo cool to smoke the mighty V-Twin.

At lunch we come up with a theme for next year:
"Cancel Your Freekin Indicators!"

Man there were some muppets on that one!

After woodville I was really looking forward to taking the Tricked TLR for a 120 km ride in the rain on a rode I hadn't ridden in a year.
I had only done 120k on the bike thus far, so it should be.... Fun!

Well, I tell you, the TLR was really well behaved! I kid you not.
Loved it!
Followed a few people who forgot how to ride around corners a couple of times... including my mate on his Guzzi 750... Seems the Guzzi wanted to visit the paddock (after all it is an adventure bike), so off he went.
Lesson: Target fixation can be deadly! It was through good management I was riding the road, but said mate admitted to watching the guy in front who didn't take the best line!

Anyway, got the TLR all the way to the other side and back in one piece.
What a dream to ride once the road dried out!
Heck, it wasn't the monster i was expecting in the wet anyway.
And who said that TLR's can't go around corners?
They corner way better than by CBR with an oil water cocktail in the forks...

[VasalineWarrior]

Have to agree that the ride out there was particulary sh#t this year, also the comment about indicators. Also worth noting is that if you see an accident it probably isnt a good idea to brake really hard as son as you see it with 100 bikes behind you. It wont really achieve anything except to cause another accident better to go past then stop eh?

Liked meeting and greeting people I haven't seen for a while but think I may give it a miss next year

[chanceyy]

Well it was my first c2c .. & may be my last ..

I have attended 3 large group rides cc campaign ride, last weeks welly toy ride with 480 odd bikes & now the c2c .. but have to agree with cowboyz

first section was pretty good .. nice to ride with ppl you know & who know your experience or lack of, pretty much follow the leader kinda stuff with ppl passing in relatively safe passing manner, til the track .. had a steady pace going, until a rider 2 up just had to pass me .. cowboyz also made it past .. problem first rider then left his brain somewhere & overcooked it into a signposted 35k corner & rode off into the grass & gravel .. cowboyz had a moment realising I was behind him & last time someone went off the road doing the target fixation thing, I followed suit, however in this case I kept my eyes firmly on cowboyz bike, as if he needed to take evasive action I figured I would have to follow suit .. but all good dunno how that guy managed to get her back on the road .. but he did ..

along Ballance quite a few idiots & after indicating my intention to pass a trike .. checking my rear vision mirror, proceeded to pass only to find two sports bikes doing warp speed to overtake us both (3 abreast) at the same time :eek: they were lucky I held my line & did not take a wider path or we would have all kissed the deck dragging other riders with us

really felt for bandit rider when his bike fell over at woodville..

riding again in the rain & not having done this for a few months took it extremely conservately as realising this was the first decent rain in a while & crap on road, just did not want to run the risk of a bin with all those bikes around .. thanks to Meanie, Bonez & Sarah for sticking around, only been riding 10 months & realise I have not done a lot of twistie stuff in the wet & roads I have never travelled .. but made it out to the beach & back in again .. was happy to reach dry roads for sure :yes:

anyhow back home to another party .. so a good nite was had .. sounds like I missed a good nite at Al's as well .. managed to drag cowboyz outta bed this morning :lol: sorry bout that mate ..

[Bonez]

You did extremely well considering the conditions Sandra. Loved that 2 stroke smell following behind you.:yes:

Oh and that two up rider was on a black FJ1200 I think. Seemed to have something to prove. But I've seen marshellers on previous ones do worse. Pillion was a kid IIRC.

[chanceyy]

You did extremely well considering the conditions Sandra. Loved that 2 stroke smell following behind you.:yes:

My 2nd C2C. Can't understand what some others are moaning about. Shame about the rain but apart from that it was fun. Didn't have too many "WTF!" moment as we waited till most bikes had gone before we joined the pack, which very quickly spread out. You always expect to see idiot riders at an event like this so....

It surprises me how many bikers pike out when it's wet or raining. My dual purpose tyres are good in the wet.

We rented a house at Akitio so had somewhere to slightly dry our gear out and a comfy bed. $10 meal at the boating club and the boys got into the bourbons.

The organisers and volunteers did a great job as usual and great hospitality at Akitio once again.

Sunday started off lovely and sunny and we stopped at Waihi Falls and then through to Dannevirke. The road from Waihi Falls out to the highway (I think it's Oporae Road) is bloody AWESOME.

Went over Saddle Road where the rain started and didn't stop all the way home. Very soggy and wet as I couldn't be bothered with the wet weather gear and it was very warm.

A great weekend desipte the rain and we will be back next year!

[sels1]

and meet up with Sels1 an Wayne708 at Foxton. .
Actually that was my other brother Gareth on the Bonneville, Dennis.

Great to see y'all guys. We split off at woodville and came home over the saddle rd as we things on we had to be home for. But a good days riding all the same. And now I have one of those fancy vests in the boot of the car if I every get a flat on the motorway at night.....:lol:
