Boxing Day Races - spot the KBer

[janno]

It seems like quite a few KBers are planning to go to the Boxing Day Races at Wanganui, including plenty that I've "met" online and would like to meet in person.

How am I going to recognise you all? The crazed, computer monitor shaped eyes?

The flaccid lower lip with the thin silver thread of drool emitting from the side of the mouth?

The TV remote control carried at all times with "Green/red rep button" painted on it?

Or perhaps you'll be the adults hurling small children out of the play area so you can hog the swings and then have fisticuffs over whose turn it is and who said what to whom . . .

Seriously, I'd like to meet you and if you are like me you won't be in possession of a KB item of clothing and don't feel like scrawling your site name on your tshirt.

Suggestions? (No, get a life is not the required response right now. Thank you.)

[99TLS]

i will be there in my leathers does this help?

[sunhuntin]

well, if ya can find nadroj, chances are i wont be far away. but if i am, i will likely be wearing the 07 burt munro shirt, which has new zealand on the front, and burt silhouette and "drag tracks" on the back. usual black jeans and sneakers. MUST get a kb shirt one day, lol.

[Coldrider]

I'm the tall handsome one.

[Joni]

I'm the short ugly one....

[janno]

The tall, dark, handsome one with women fighting for his attention? The one who really should replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond? Yes, you'll be easy to spot . . . will you let me take a photo of such bodily perfection?

[janno]

Seriously chasps, I've read others saying "I was at such and such an event and knew you were going to be there but didn't know what you looked like" etc, seems a waste of an opportunity to put a name to the face.

Unless people like to hide of course (glances in paranoia over my shoulder . . .)

[jrandom]

Best to just PM back and forth and exchange phone numbers, I've found.

Then again, people seem to be good at recognising me from my avatar.

[Joni]

Then again, people seem to be good at recognising me from my avatar.I have been wanting to ask.... what is going on in your avatar? Are you dancing? Are you pulling up your fly? Are you having a convulsion?

:spudwhat:

[jrandom]

I have been wanting to ask.... what is going on in your avatar? Are you dancing? Are you pulling up your fly? Are you having a convulsion?

This is mildly embarrassing, but... I have no idea.

:confused:

You might try asking Kornholio; he was standing next to me in that photograph, looking very amused...

[Coldrider]

I didn't say dark, but Timothy Dolton is my double.
Do you mean there are real people behind the screen?

[Colapop]

I am. Nuff said.

[ManDownUnder]

Look for the KB patch on a shirt, jacket, or sticker on a bike, walk up and ask them to take you to their leader.

What about a KB assembly point on site somewhere (nothing official needed although that KB flag would be a handy dandy thing!). Not in the pits because I figure that's busy enough now and them in there don;t want to be popping up to say hi all the time.

Maybe at one end of the BP forecourt? The end nearest that 90 degree corner (on the left hand side as you look at the BP from the street)?

[jrandom]

that KB flag would be a handy dandy thing...

[Riff Raff]

I'll be the gorgeous redhead with the big belly.

[ManDownUnder]

Are you dancing? Are you pulling up your fly? Are you having a convulsion?

LOL technically the answer is "yes". Sadly it's yes to all three... it's not a pretty sight but Dan seems to enjoy it.

yea that sounds like a good idea :niceone: should put the word out to see if everyone would be keen to meet their :mobile:

I was picturing it as a "drop by" place personally... it's a long day to be hanging around there but whatever works.

[Her_C4]

I'm the short ugly one....

Pffftt yeah riiiiight - NOT - ya' wee cutie!!!:banana::lol:

[Joni]

I was picturing it as a "drop by" place personally... it's a long day to be hanging around there but whatever works.Yeah, I don’t meant to be rude, but it’s a long hard day to get the chair up there from Chch, get the scruteneering done, deal with all the race stuff on the day… I cant think of anything worse than having to deal with a whole lot of strangers “spotting the KB’ers” through the pits…

Sorry if that’s rude.

[HornetBoy]

yea sorry i meant that,maybe just park up their and everyone can do their own thing ,but youll know that they will all be kb'ers (just have to sus out who is who :wacko:)

[ManDownUnder]

Sorry if that’s rude.

Not even close - you're there to race... totally respected.


yea sorry i meant that,maybe just park up their and everyone can do their own thing ,but youll know that they will all be kb'ers (just have to sus out who is who :wacko:)

Parking is about a 1km walk (from memory) from the BP, you won't be able to ride there, But park up and walk to the petrol station on the day (you'll see what I mean when you get there).

[007XX]

How am I going to recognise you all? The crazed, computer monitor shaped eyes?

That'll be me...


The flaccid lower lip with the thin silver thread of drool emitting from the side of the mouth?

That'll be Jrandom...


The TV remote control carried at all times with "Green/red rep button" painted on it?

Hmmmm, that's a tough one...


Or perhaps you'll be the adults hurling small children out of the play area so you can hog the swings and then have fisticuffs over whose turn it is and who said what to whom . . .

Haha, easy!! Colapop...:niceone:



Ok, seriously now...I'm blond (shoulder length bob), 5.8", blue eyes and I got a funny accent. I'll be probably be running around like an over excited hummingbird on crack, and I'll have a gorgeous man by my side...
And now for the easy part: You've got my cell number:p

[ManDownUnder]

You've got my cell number:p

Paremoremo, Max Security, D Block, Cell V69?

[nadroj]

Paremoremo, Max Security, D Block, Cell V69?

What? The pink room?

[ManDownUnder]

What? The pink room?

Yup - with the special entrance... :eek:

[007XX]

Paremoremo, Max Security, D Block, Cell V69?

Nah...they haven't caught me yet! :shifty:



What? The pink room?


Yup - with the special entrance... :eek:

Trust me, neither of you two would know what that special entrance looks like...:devil2:

[Devil]

I'll be the one stalking Joni, proving once and for all that yes, it is possible to get her on film and live to tell the tale.

:bleh:

[Deano]

I'll probably be wearing my Cliff Hanger Promotions t-shirt, and handing out flyers to racers in the pits.

I'd say most of the cool people will be hanging around Jimmy's pit. See you there.

[sunhuntin]

when i went down last year, there was parking near the bp, just outside the gates ticket gates there. it technically wasnt the bp, but was less than a k away, so unless theres a k worth of bikes lining that bit of road...

joni, permission to hunt the pits in an attempt to meet you? must buy you that drink as well AFTER THE RACING.

[jrandom]

I'd say most of the cool people will be hanging around Jimmy's pit.

I'll be hanging out there too with a cooling flannel for HDTboy's fevered brow.

So don't be embarrassed to wander by, folks; it won't be just cool people.

[Nasty]

Grub wannabiker sweetp and I will be there .. but sadly working ... we are marshalling for that day ... but will keep an eye out for the famous KB shirt ... :)

[Kickaha]

How am I going to recognise you all?

Easy peasy I'll be the one hanging off Sidecar #27



I'd say most of the cool people will be hanging around Jimmy's pit. See you there.

Nah they'll be in the sidecar pits with the real men :bleh:

Not the back door?:Oi:

naw... thats for mark.

[ynot slow]

naw... thats for mark.

Ouch that smarts.:sick:

[janno]

Well, I'm looking forward to meeting whoever owns up to it!

Sounds like there will be a bit of a convoy coming down from new Plymouth, so no doubt when you all look around at the mass of bikes and all the cool people dismounting with panache that . . . won't be us . . .

[Deano]

Easy peasy I'll be the one hanging off Sidecar #27:

I'll wave to you as you go past.

[SpeedyGirl]

well, if ya can find nadroj, chances are i wont be far away. but if i am, i will likely be wearing the 07 burt munro shirt, which has new zealand on the front, and burt silhouette and "drag tracks" on the back. usual black jeans and sneakers. MUST get a kb shirt one day, lol.

That means that I will be with you then since I am on the back of Nadroj's bike :D


I'm the short ugly one....

I think you are stunning!!!!


I'll be the one stalking Joni, proving once and for all that yes, it is possible to get her on film and live to tell the tale.

Bloody hell, yns, we'll have only just got on the bikes!!

I'm going straight through, with the group I'm riding with so will wave as we go past. And pull faces, and fart loudly, and . . .

I'm not hard to spot, just look at my avatar:niceone:

[oldguy]

Hey janno be happy to discuss moisturisers with you.:yes: haha

[ali]

Our normal place is under the trees between Toyota corner and Kawasaki curves.

If my greedy mates don't eat it all, there will be bacon and pie and perhaps even a spare Tui ( yes, it is a sign of your age when you take pie to the races ), mmmm, pie.

[Richard Mc F]

I am the fat grumpy old person, and I will be there..........so:kick:

[slydesigns]

Me and Lisylu will be firmly entrenched in Steve Watkin Auto Painters across the road from the bus station. Hes got toilets, cold ones and a bbq... all the essentials for a perfect days racing.

[sunhuntin]

errr.. what do you want cold toilets for? :shifty:

[janno]

Dunno about you,but there is something distinctly ergghhh about sitting on a warm toilet seat. Indicates some other bottom has actually POOHED there too, shock horror.

A cold loo seat lets you believe yours is the only behind to use it . . .

[sunhuntin]

LOL. i dont mind a warm seat too much... what do dislike is sharing porta loos, specially the "non flushing" kind... now thats disgusting.

[ynot slow]

My point exacarry,must have coffee lol.

Will wait at Furlong for you about 9.30 -9.45 if your leaving about 8.45 ish,keep going if no bike there lol,means I had a hard night,or taking car to drop mums pressies off in Wanganui.

[limbimtimwim]

If you see someone so good looking you get weak at the knees, that's me.

Sorry boys, I only like ladies.

[sunhuntin]

Also when the thing is tipped over lol.

eeeewwww yeh... 3 or 4 got blown over at the burt challenge. hope there was no one in em at the time! LOL. after that they tied them together, lol.

[oldguy]

well guys the weather looks crap for tomorrow, so will give it a miss this year.
Hope you all had a great Christmas day, :yes:and have a happy new year.

cheers John

[limbimtimwim]

HA!

The weather was a-oh-kay. Tad breezy at times.

[Plugz 4 Lugz]

........ hail through Waiouru and the Desert Road. Sure hope all you northbound riders got home safe, albeit a bit frozen from the downpours enroute. The atmosphere was fabulous from the riders we met at the Circuit today. Cheers Sue


HA!

[SpeedyGirl]

What a great day of racing, not too hot, not too cold! Sore feet from walking and i think Colapop broke a rib hugging me! ;)

[Grub]

Bollocks ... we missed all of you. We saw Chanceyy briefly but it was in the middle of the race so had to concentrate.

We were at Turn 4 which is the right hander at the top of the hill up from Suzuki HQ. On foot, just by the wooden steps (on the right) where you come down from the cemetry towards Suzuki.

Speaaking of cold ... ferk ... we got HAILED upon at Pukerua Bay! Have we time-warped to the Northern Hemisphere for xmas or something ???

Like an idiot I only found this thread last night after getting home, I must have walked right past you. Doh. Will be back next year, fantastic day, was drooling in the car parks outside looking at all the bikes.

[Colapop]

I must have made 3 circuits of the cemetery inside and outside! I wanted to meet so many more of you but didn't know which people to crush... I mean... hug...

I canoodled on Chanceyy, man-loved MDU, jostled JRandom, klutched Kiwifruit, shakeded Sunhuntin, grappled with Gixxer4ever, jammed with Janno, welcomed Wasp27, 0ooed (and ahhed) at 007XX, nuzzled Neil (007XY), squeezed Sensei, nurtured Nadroj, seized Stickchick, locked up Limbimtimwim, mugged Malcolm, slapped Str8 Jacket, dodged Deano, slipped into Sels1's arms, snuggled Speedygirl, worshipped White Trash, rubbed up against Riff Raff, nudged Nicko, and waved to Shaun (but he ran away before the gates opened)

I may have missed out one or two of you (many apologies) but my brain started to get a little fried by the end of a long and fulfilling day. How many highlights of the day were there for me? God! Too many - meeting so many KBers, watching some fantastic racing, successfully pillioning a precious package there and back safely, getting cuddles, the noise, the crowds... an absolutely fantastic day!!

Only one regret - I didn't get to you all. If you see me coming next time don't run and hide, I don't bite... much.... :bleh:

[merv]

For some reason I never spotted many KBers at all. Saw LB in the pits and that was about it. Don't know how I missed Col with him being a big fellah and all and where was Jimmy's pit?

Anway I didn't take so many photos as usual but those I did take I've posted for you over on this thread of Garry's http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=63767

[Deano]

I dodged Deano

Hardly. A hug is all good, but did you have to hang on for sooo long bro ?

People were starting to stare.

[99TLS]

i will be there in my leathers does this help?

did you spot me there :sherlock:

[merv]

did you spot me there :sherlock:

Nah mate, but wouldn't have minded meeting you.

[99TLS]

spent most of the day just wandering around, wasnt in one place for too long, people kept looking at me funny if i asked them if they were from kb, :laugh:

[janno]

Well I thought I got to see most of the kbers but ended up missing over half of you!! Ah well, next time . . .:devil2:

[merv]
