Chch - KB Xmas BBQ?

[Skyryder]

Early days on this one but it's that time of year again. In the past we've gone out to Spencer Park and Dangerouse has loaded up the BBQ and it's been a fine time for all.

So whatcha all think of something different. I've had hankereing to ride down to the Chequered Flag for a bit of nosh. Nothing fancy. Might get some from Timaru or further South. Just a thought.

If you guys up the road a bit can sort a date and it fits in i would be keen to ride up.

[Joni]

Mr. Skyryder, it was once said many moons ago... the first one to mention it, is the one to arrange it :msn-wink:

:eek:

[Dave-]

early? xmas is only 22 days away...

I've had hankereing to ride down to the Chequered Flag for a bit of nosh. Nothing fancy.That's a good place, we stopped in there on the way home from the Penguin.


Mr. Skyryder, it was once said many moons ago... the first one to mention it, is the one to arrange it :msn-wink:That's why I've kept quiet about it since you mentioned it to me in the street recently :D

OK Joni so it's arranged. 07 Xmas BBQ has been cancelled in place of Xmas scoff at the the Chequered Flag. (lunch? or a dinner? or Devonshire tea? Haha) I'm out the weekend of the 15 Dec so that's a no no. But I'm a democrtic type of guy, any one got an idea on a preferred date. We will go the long way, whatever way that is. So up with some ideas guys and gals.

Skyryder

[Silage]

OK SR

Just where is the Chequered Flag then?

[Skyryder]

OK SR

S

You ask me? I've no idea. I'm only the organiser not the navigator.

Just joking. Some one will know. It's down the Rangatata way on the main highway south. So that's confirmed I'll work out a route. But what's the thoughts on time and a date??

Skyryder

[Daffyd]

OK SR

S

On the main road at Rangitata, 100m north of the Geraldine turnoff.
Good place to meet other bikers, and very friendly owners. (Also bikers).

[far queue]

What about this one???


Yep....its a goer...will be caging it tho lol....Piss off you two if you're not coming down here, we've got our own to organise :D ... well, Skyryder has :whistle:

[miSTa]

How about Saturday 22/12?
Works for me...:apint:

[far queue]

When I do come down I expect you lot to show me how its done....I mean drinking that is lol!You already know about sheep bothering?


Works for me...:apint:I thought it might :whistle:

[Ghost_Bullet]

Would love to, but think I would have to pass on this Satudurday thingy. With and early xmas lunch for traveling family and all.

[Joni]

Right, Skyryder I have changed the title of your thread to reflect the word "chch", just in case the people up north dont understand what Canterbury means....

:rolleyes:

Sorry, I know how you hate Mods and all... :crybaby:

[SDU]

How about Saturday 22/12?

I'll check with what the boss is doing but
I reckon that could work or even the 23/12

[JMemonic]

I dont want to brag but by the proposed dates I will be relaxing and gathering my wits for climbing the Sydney Harbour bridge, enjoy the day all.

[miSTa]

I thought it might :whistle:
Whose the clever boy then? :finger:


I'll check with what the boss is doing but I reckon that could work or even the 23/12
I thought you were the boss :doh:

[laRIKin]

I thought you were the boss :doh:

See you should of believe me.:apint::laugh:

I can not see why we can not make it as well.

[Oakie]

Saturdays work for us (although I'll have to take the day off cricket). Sundays don't work for us because Mrs Oakie has work. But hey, it's not all about us so if we can make it ... cool, if not ... another time maybe.

[SpeedyGirl]

I'm keen.......dont go away till xmas day :headbang:

[Skyryder]

Sorry, I know how you hate Mods and all... :crybaby:

Not you Joni. Now I had better have a look and see what I have organised. Asu sual I'm the last to arrive and the last to know. :shit:

[Skyryder]

Ok guys Sat 22 December. Meet at 12.00 leave 12.30 at Burger King Moorehouse. We'll go the long way onto H/way 72 down to Geraldine and cut back to State H/way 1. Just not too sure where the turn off is so it's pot luck.

I have no idea for bookings but I doubt if you need to. So it's pansy cakes and devonshire tea in the afternoon sun.:love:

Skyryder

Can someone flick this up on the calander. I have no idea how too. thanks

Skyryder

[miSTa]

Suits me Mr S. You got the lead since you know where you are going.

We will need to regroup somwhere outside of town.


Skyryder

[SDU]

The route looks good but if I'm having a bad day, I'll take a short cut from Geraldine so I don't hold the rest of you up.



Are there any from south of Chch meeting up with us at the chequered Flag??? It would be good to meet some of you lot from Sth canty/nth Otago if you looking for a ride.

It's one of the reasons I've run up the 'Chequered Flag.' Usually we've had a BBQ at Spencer Park but with the recent murder there I though another venue might be the way to go and bring in some southern blood while we are at it. It's long way from Dunners and with the recent KB trip many might not want the ride but hey who knows. Oldrider's a tiger for punishment. As for the name Pansy Cake Run with a name like that no one will ask me to organise this again Ha hah lollll:love::zzzz:

:doh: How does that work? Yeah no problem I guess..

Geraldine will be a fuel stop for some anyway

Still keen to meet at 12.00 leave 12.30 at Burger King, Moorhouse Ave?

And miss the best bit of the whole day? Maybe you need to the ride on a Monster?

Yep most know the BBKing from Wednesday meets.

Depends on how many turn up but we could get seperated with lights, traffic etc. My suggestion would be down Moorehouse, Blenhiem Rd and turn right at Curletts Rd and regroup somewhere on Yaldhurst Rd. Some might want to meet up there. Whatcha ya think?

Bernie

[SDU]

What & go to the darkside:yawn: not me I wouldn't want to have to wear plugs for everytime I change gear:bleh:


I'll decide at the fuel stop how I'm feeling wouldn't want to hold everyone up in the best bits.

We could always meet or regroup at the Yaldhurst pub. Easy to find. For some it'll be easier to go straight to the pub.

I would like to meet at the Yaldhurst pub as its closer for me than heading into town and back out again, will see you there about 12.45 :bleh:

[miSTa]

Well this is the way I reckon it should go down:

Myself will go around to Lemans and SDUs place and leave from there
Far Queue will be doing the same (was talking to him this arvo)
The four of us will travel to the Yaldhurst pub where we will meet with everyone else (Skyryder and SpeedyGirl at this stage)
Depart for Rangitata via Geraldine, Fairlie, and Pleasant Point
I reckon we need to leave earlier, say 10:30 from Yaldhurst (ie meet at 10:00)....

So who is for an earlier start?? Maybe we should just meet at the Yaldhurst Pub? Need to get something definate soonish. some may not pick up any changes. I'll just stay loose on this at the moment. Input needed one way or the other.

The earlier start would be good- means we can relax more at the other end.
Speedigirl are you keen? It'll be good to catch up with you
Oakies expressed interest - are you still up for this???

[SpeedyGirl]

SHIT!!!! Looks like i am going to have to pass on going, being the disorganised person that I am, I need to get my hair done and the only appt that my hairdresser can do (god bless his cotton socks for fitting me in at short notice:niceone:) is on Saturday, no chance I will get there and back in time :oi-grr:
Have fun guys

[Joni]

I need to get my hair doneBut you are beautiful enough as it is! :sunny:

I tend to be reluctant to change times so late but in the abscence of any seriouse opposition I'll make this official

Meet at Yaldhurst Pub Sat 22 Dec 10.00 Depart 10.30.

Sounds good to me,


Sounds good to us.

We will have to be at Pit Lane at 9:00 to get SDU a new rear tire.

So we will be leaving our place at or before 8:40, so you may want to meet us at Pit Lane or at the Yaldhurst Pub.
That is if you don't want to be at our place that early.

Jeez, just been talking to FQ and had the plan all sorted and now you do this! :rolleyes:

See you guys at the Yaldhurst instead.

[Skyryder]

I'm making the assumption that all are aware of the change time and place.

Yaldhurst pub 10 10.30 depart. Courtesan will be there in drag. Riding a Guzzi. Should be fun day.

[laRIKin]

SDU says that there is plenty of tread on the sides.
So she will have to ride circles around you.

We will meet you at the Yaldy or will catch you up, if we are running late.
Will TXT you when leaving.

[_Shrek_]

can someone send me a pm plezzzzzzz when one of these rides are on
I cant come today as i have family arriving today

:bye: have a great ride & keep the shiney up

merry chrismas & happy new year to all :drinking:

cheers Mr & Mrs Shrek
& all the little Ogres

[laRIKin]

Well not as many as I thought there would be at this ride.
So we got quality and not quantity.

Well I got up early to get a new tire on SDU bike and scrubbed it in a bit for her.
At the shop met 4 other KBers and two of which were also after tires.
Went around to Mr Sensible place to say we are now ready and Far Queue turned up.
Rushed home to tell SDU that they are coming around and better get ready.

We got to the Yaldy and it was 20 past and no one else there apart from us 4.

Then the rest of the crew turned up so there was.
Helenoftroy, SDU, Casualty, Far Queue, Mr Sensible, Skyryder and me.

A nice day for a 420km ride around the country side and did get a bit windy on the way home.

Our first stop was at Geraldine as planed for a fuel stop and a drink.

Then to the Chequered Flag and it was a nice place to go to and eat and we will go there again.

Well done Casualty your first big long ride and you did well.
A bit tired and sore now I bet, well done.:niceone:

A few fool's in cagers once we got back in to CHCH, but apart from that the traffic was good.

[helenoftroy]

When Casuality & I turned up(on the German tractor & Jap pocket rocket) we kinda spoilt the Sexy Ilalian lineup;)

But we tagged along and an excellent day was had:2thumbsup

The chequered Flag was a great spot for sustanence:drinknsin

Ride home made more pleasurable with the double Ducati roar in front:love:

The Young One and I had a great day.Thanks guys:niceone:

[miSTa]

.....

A few fool's in cagers once we got back in to CHCH, but apart from that the traffic was good.
Not much to add there, all in all a pretty good day. Had a blast from Geraldine to Fairlie.

Yes that fool in the orange car, I think young casualty may have had a problem trying to take his space on the road coming up to the roadworks on Aldwins Rd.
