Saturday 15th-Dec Cruisy Ride

[DingoZ]

If anyone is keen for a ride on Saturday. * Weather Permitting *

Meeting RIMUTEX at 10:00 for 10:30 Departure

Likely Destination of Castlepoint. (Heard is nice place for photos) Via Masterton. Then a return trip back through Longbush - Martinborough - Featherston - Home.

Photo stops a plenty - and lunch where and when the grp decides they want to.

Not going to be a full on flat out kind of ride. Wanting to explore and take nice photos of interesting places and things.
(as well as the bikes)

So if you feel like a cruise on Saturday - See you at Rimutex at 10:00 .... :)

[Nasty]

Sounds like an interesting ride .. will check with the others and see if we join.

[Trudes]

I will at this point say maybe. Hubby is due back from his trip around the traps on Friday night and he may want some "quality time" with me. Sounds like a great idea though, so will try.

[Grub]

I think we'll be there at least for the trip over the hill ... and it will be cruisy because I will likely have my sister on the back. Something new for both me and her.

We'd been planning on a morning ride to Martinborough at the very least.

[Smoggy]

Sounds like it could be a plan

[Weaver]

I'll be keen for this.
As for the photos, better take them all from the right :doh:

[Lissa]

Oh pooh! I cant make this, got the kiddies, but have a good time everyone

[crazefox]

[Weaver]

Team Hellfish racing will be in attendance

[Weaver]

Provided its not pouring down with rain

[Bullitt]

If I wake up early enough to put all my fairings back on before I leave home Ill be there but I doubt thatll be happening.

[Str8 Jacket]

My man has gone away for the weekend and left me his RG, so i'll be out riding tomorrow but there is no way in hell I plan to even be up and riding by 10.30 tomorrow so I might see you guy's on the road :D

Not up by 10.30??? You are missing the best part of the day.

[Str8 Jacket]

oh come on

Im tempted but I need to do some cleaning and stuff first. Ive been working 12 hour days and really need a sleep in. Maybe though, we'll see if I have a hangover or not and what time I wake up.....

[Cave Cleaner]

Cant make it tomorrow as have my brother up from Dunedin for the weekend. Weather seems to b great though. Its a good ride to castlepoint.Good roads last time I was there.. Top up with Gas before you leave Masterton as petrol is Expencive out there :shit:

[Grub]

Uh? 12 hour days give you a hangover? :innocent:

[Str8 Jacket]

Uh? 12 hour days give you a hangover? :innocent:

Ya ha!....:apint:

[DingoZ]

[aer0]

ah fuck

[Str8 Jacket]

Looks good weather wise.....

See whoever is coming at Rimutex before 10:30......:)

Well I was there :yes:..... Hope ya'll had a good ride. I took the poor lil RG home and grabbed the VFR in the end...... Mint day for a ride.....

[Weaver]

It was a great ride. The weather was excellent out at castle point. Its a nice fast flowing road that, and fucken long too

[DingoZ]

Can certainly agree that was a lot of fun.


Should have renamed it to Saturday's Hyosung Ride..:)

Saw the Welly Fast Crew at rimutex before they headed out on their ride. Hope you guys had a blast as well..

Well one :zzzz: in......:doh:
And one smartly decided to not go, because of a problem with the brakes.....Good call Str8

So that left Weaver and I to head out at 10:30...

Nice run over the hill, except for the drivers who decided to hog the white line after Weaver slotted in front of them......

Cruised through to Masterton. Topped up both bikes...$22.00 bucks of gas for the both of them...And off we shot..

Nice bit of road, from Masterton out to Castlepoint....Only a couple of corners in the middle section of twisties with a bit of loose gravel on the lines but other than that was very clean all the way through..

Bit of lunch, at the ocean side food place....And then it was time to head back.....Bit of a quicker trip coming back through to the turn off to Martinborough, than the trip out. Weaver kindly gave some hints on cornering, and weighting (more knowledge and confidence obtained - thanks muchly dude)...

Fanging it (As much as possible on a Hyo 250...You can stop laughing now)..:).......Down the Masterton-Martinborough rd, came round a left hander and straight past a sign post which said Martinborough....1 U turn later, we turned left.......Another intersection.....2nd U turn and we turned left.......................Straight now.........Yup we headed in the right direction...:) Later discovered we could have kept going straight in the first place....Know for next time...:)

Coffee stop in Martinborough, and then up to Featherston, over the hill....Put into practice again what Weaver had showed me, seemed to flow a little better with the corners......More practice, more practice...:clap:

Home to discover had left my house keys inside, and my partner had decided to go and have coffee at the mall and do some shopping........:doh:.........3 hours later she arrives home and I get inside.........Note to self - take house keys as well as bike keys next time...)

And so that raps the day and the ride....... Will be doing that one again soon...:)

Till next time - Keep Safe....

:yes:
