Meanie's Excellent Adventure (22 February)

[Meanie]

Coro Loop anyone ? :woohoo:
Plan is to travel to Ngatea via Taumarunui, eight mile and up the West side of Hamilton Stay in Ngatea on Friday night at a friends place. Lots of room for tents and some great hospitality Ride the Coromandel Loop on Saturday at a nice leisurly pace while enjoying the local cafes and photo ops. Thames again for Saturday night and home Sunday, route still being sorted I will post more details within the next week.
Be a good weekend away with some awesome roads that Mrs Meanie and i rode a while back and enjoyed so much we wanted to do it again, but this time with a little more time to spare
Friday February 22nd leave Ashhurst between 9.30 and home Sunday 24th
If you are having problems getting time off work then you could always make a mad dash up to Ngatea after work friday arvo
Sarah Vet is going to be in Auckland that week and is going to meet us on Friday arvo
This may be postponed if the weather turns to custard
I will make this a calender event when i have finalised all details

We are leaving Ashhurst Mobil at 9.30 Sharp so please be early so you dont miss cowboys impression af a chancey speech
Cost is $20 per person which will cover the cost of breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings and tea Friday and Saturday nights
This is payable to me please as i have already sent money ahead

[cowboyz]

we may or may not follow the same route but will probably be around the area.

[NZsarge]

I am liking this but a few of my own details will have to fall into place first. How much does a decent two man tent cost?

[robertydog]

Street Races are on at Paeroa on the 17th Feb, so will be cruising around on that weekend.

[Meanie]

we may or may not follow the same route but will probably be around the area.

You are sounding just like a bloody polotician :tugger:

[Meanie]

I am liking this but a few of my own details will have to fall into place first. How much does a decent two man tent cost?

Got a spare one you can use Sarge

[DMNTD]

Will come for a leisurely pootle if we're not doing anything mate.
No doubt a few more contenders from up this way might be keen too :sunny:

[chanceyy]

Will have to check the work roster ... & see if i can steal a annual leave day ..


when do you need to know by Meanie ?

[NZsarge]

Got a spare one you can use Sarge

Went on a hunt last night and you can get some quite nice kit for around the $200 and a bit mark but i'll definitely one eye on that offer mate, cheers.:niceone:
Thought it would'nt be a bad idea to have a small tent, started looking at those Mac Pac tents coz I know they are supposed to be the shit but they are around the $450 plus mark and quite honestly too high a spec for the kind of thing I would want it for.

[cowboyz]

You are sounding just like a bloody polotician :tugger:

and you werent going to make thames in a day. The carefully balanced blocks might have to fall just in the right spot for me to make this one now.

Do you know how to "pootle"?

[DMNTD]

Do you know how to "pootle"?

Hell yes...my road riding has changed considerably in recent times mate ;)
Plus I may just come 2 up on the '14 being as it's just a pootle

[NZsarge]

Not fair, take both bikes. I wanna have a look at the "R" close up.

[GSVR]

Hmm 2 sleeps away form the comfort and security of home. Will probably travel a bit heavier than the last trip if I decide to see you guys off. Last time I forgot to pack the wet weather suit. Do they have a Warehouse up there incase I need a change of undies?

[Meanie]

Will come for a leisurely pootle if we're not doing anything mate.
No doubt a few more contenders from up this way might be keen too :sunny:

Most welcome, be good to catch up with you again
Whats a pootle ?

[DMNTD]

Not fair, take both bikes. I wanna have a look at the "R" close up.
Sorry mate but I have yet to master the riding of two bikes at the same time :no:
Oooooooh...now I see what ya mean :rolleyes:

[DMNTD]

Most welcome, be good to catch up with you again
Whats a pootle ?

Oh...a pootle is anything ridden at sub-nutbar :niceone:

[NZsarge]

equipoutdoors.co.nz have a two man tent that you can erect in 2 seconds:2thumbsup

[Meanie]

Some details still to be sorted

[Meanie]

Ahh yes but how long does it take to pack away

[NZsarge]

Ahh yes but how long does it take to pack away

I guess with some practice not too much longer than it takes to put up, got a lifetime warranty too. $170
It's one of those ones that don't have any poles.

[NZsarge]

Just out of interest sake, what would be the best way around the coro loop? West side first or East.
Never been on the west side but i've been on the east side heaps...(as far as Whitianga anyway)

[DMNTD]

IMO...
Paeroa > Waihi > Whangamata > Coroglen > Coromandel Township > Coroglen > Kopuhikuwai > Kopu....

[NZsarge]

Paeroa > Waihi > Whangamata > Coroglen > Coromandel Township > Coroglen > Kopuhikuwai > Kopu....

You could have just said...."the east side first" :laugh:
Is that saving best for last? I freakin' love the road from Thames to Whitianga and the Whangamata road is nice too.
Will have to see what Meanie's final draught is but I guess when it comes to the loop it does'nt really matter which way 'round coz it all sounds good.

[robertydog]

Yep east side first. But watch out for all the cages on the wrong side of the road.

[robertydog]

Go down to Mitre 10 and buy one for $75.00. They all right for the summer.

[chanceyy]

hmm if I do come may just stay with olds in Te Aroha & ride to paeroa to met you all on the start ... then hook up sunday for the ride back .. since they are both in poor health good excuse to check up on them

[manwithav8]

Ahh yes but how long does it take to pack away

No need to pack it away... Get a cheap one, set a light to it upon leaving the next day. Problem sorted and it is quick lol..

Sounds like a great ride Meanie and I would love to do this aloong with Mrs V8 on the rear end however I will be head down ass up trying to complete a course so I can get that elusive promotion which means more money.....

For some reason I have sorted my priortities hence you lot haven't seen me of late... Have no fear though, you might just be suprised on a friday ride some time soon. I hate hate being sensible all of the time..

Yep but being sensible means when ya are 40 ya have life sorted,and can enjoy the fun times.But when days are fine and ya can't ride with work or study that can be a piss off.

Get a cheap tent from the red sheds,for the price they'er not bad,and if ya stick it away damp and it rots who cares.Saw one similar to mine which is 305x305cm plus verander similar sized for $150 or so.

Holy shit they won't last long,even if they don't keep long in weather who cares.The red shed ones were well priced as well.As a kid we had one bought at xmas from mum and dad,good ol 3 man hikers tent,no sew in floor in those days,must of kept it for 15 yrs,went to numerous beach pissups,and hunting trips.

Doesn't sound like you got priorities right somehow:nono: I expect to see you and the Mrs out asap after I get back otherwise I will think the drunken behaviour put you off associating with us :lol:

[NZsarge]

Hey Chanceyy, you could always fill one of Meanie's panniers up with fuel and drain that when ya need some, either that or syphon some outta Cowboyz tank when he's not looking....:dodge:

[Meanie]

Anyone needing to fill up earlier will be able to
Just need to be aware of where we break for lunch etc and treat gas stops for what they are Gas stops and keep them to a minimum. That means no waiting in a que for lattes
Might have a get together and go over some of the finer details like where we need to stop etc, Maybe after a friday night ride

[chanceyy]

mrs yod and i were in kathmandu for some goodies for this ride today - if you join their Summit Club ($10), you can get 50% off a lot of their stuff until Monday

[cowboyz]

you looking for something to blow up?

[ynot slow]

mrs yod and i were in kathmandu for some goodies for this ride today - if you join their Summit Club ($10), you can get 50% off a lot of their stuff until Monday

At least their advertised 50% disc is genuine now,they got prosecuted big time for breaches of trading act last year or so.

Was going to say for some good clothing try the Norsewear shop in the village of same name,also good pub too.

[yod]

you looking for something to blow up?

not after last time, you must have heard the stories

finally got a couple of self inflating mattresses


Was going to say for some good clothing try the Norsewear shop in the village of same name,also good pub too.

jeebus, you must be rich....

i nip up there every now and then for the seconds socks but the clothing's farkin obscenely expensive

[ynot slow]

jeebus, you must be rich....

i nip up there every now and then for the seconds socks but the clothing's farkin obscenely expensive

Was going to add a ps to thread about the seconds being great buys,socks are bloody good,the thick work ones are ideal for boots,might have a different colour thread on top but the old man doesn't care.
The oil japara vests were ok but then price went over $175,to bad they last for years it's just the initial cost to buy is expensive.

[yod]

yeah it all looks like seriously good gear, it's just a fairly hefty investment, i bet its worth it in the long run tho

[NZsarge]

Best you be in that workshop with a sweetner. Get chanceyy to make a cake for you to take in to the workshop for morning tea. That will get them going.:niceone:
Hmm, now that's an idea :yes:



:Oi: your working on a :slap: or maybe :kick: or even better :bash: but prob end up with a :spanking:
Then again perhaps not :no:

[yod]

just been at PTMC and ordered new springs for my stand, shocked and horrified to learn they are only $20 overnight from Wanganui - i was expecting much worse

checked out a rather nice looking YZF1000 with only 62k on it for $7995, nice bike I thought:lol: apparently they've had a few nibbles on it

discovered they are bringing out a full-fairing version of the bandit...not sure if i like it or not

checked out a rather nice looking YZF1000 with only 62k on it for $7995, nice bike I thought:lol: apparently they've had a few nibbles on it

I have it on good authority that the last owner thrashed the tits of that bike :D Missing bits of footpeg and exhaust can too :whistle: Fresh rubber on it though :(

[yod]

it definitely still has your old tyres on, the front isn't too bad but the rear is pretty square and worn

[ynot slow]

just been at PTMC and ordered new springs for my stand, shocked and horrified to learn they are only $20 overnight from Wanganui - i was expecting much worse

Springs should a tried a engineering shop,mind you tension might be different.

Was the VFR800 and CBR still there? The Thursday(17th) they had a nice SV1000,not bad value.

$16K with panniers, tank bag, touring screen, fairing lowers etc. Bloody good deal...

yep, AND they've lowered the FZ1 price to $17500 I believe

[NZsarge]

Yeah that's a bloody good deal, '07 bike but no different to the '08.
You should be in dude, get enough of them about and we might be able to stave of the flood of Concours 'round here.;)

[cowboyz]

we have arranged a lunch on the sunday returning home in Te Awamutu. Any northy riders are welcome to come down for it. It will be put on by my mother who is always keen to see us so should be good.

VFR is sold - he was writing it up while I was there
blade is still there, has been for a while
K3 SV looks good in blue and Yoshi cans, tempted to take that one for a spin myself

[Meanie]

Thought we had better have a meeting and chin wag for all who are thinking of coming on our excellent adventure
Need to sort out a few details
How about 8.30 at my place Friday the 8th after a quick friday night ride
PM me for the address if you dont know where I live

Anyone else thinking of coming please register in the calender so i have an idea of numbers

We did have a car that was going to take some gear up for us but that hasnt worked unfortunatly. I am however working on a backup plan but for now presume you will have to carry your gear up with you

[cowboyz]

we also need numbers for those who want lunch on sunday in te awamutu. Should be a good stop but need to know those who are not planning on stopping and those who want to come and are not coming from here.

Don't think so. Should be alot of bikes around the Manawatu with the Nationals on at Manfeild the same weekend.

[cowboyz]

i have altered the calender event to reflect the meeting last night.

I have an unconfirmed list of 18 going. 9 have signed up.

[yod]

hows the fence? i should've known it'd be green :laugh:

[cowboyz]

well that took about a month to put first coat on. dont want to rush these things........

[yod]

dont want to rush these things........

same as your riding ? :dodge:

[cowboyz]

had a practice run at loading the biek up and all I can say is it will rival your efforts on the rf on the gizzy ride.

[yod]

cool - bit of humour aye:lol: the rf made the concours look decidely trim last time

gotta have a crack myself at some point but we know it will be easier than gizzy

[ynot slow]

well that took about a month to put first coat on. dont want to rush these things........

Good things take time,allows paint to harden between coats,also when everyone pissed up norf,get em all to sign a piece of paper(tell em you want their autographs),when done write on it we the undersigned agree to paint cowboyz fence in return for quantities of ale(given to the fence owner),and will do so till he sells the property.Get a witness on the night and legal document,cool eh.:yes:

[NZsarge]

Well, got one of the panniers on just to have a looksee, hmm W-I-D-E would be the best way to describe it but then again that would suit me I guess. Full install will have to wait until next weekend.

Did you get E41's. They're good and the combo lock's on the side are handy but be careful they can stuff out. Something happended to my ones - not sure if someone tampered with them or what but the combinations got reset. Never did figure out the "new" combination. Givi stuff is good though - easy to use etc.

[ynot slow]

Ride safe guys,hope like hell you don't meet any fuckwits on the loop ride.Just read a couple of threads on it,sounds like Forgotten Highway in places re speed and corners,and road surface not to flash.Enjoy the trip,and bring back pics.

Damn straight! Everyone back in one piece, ok! Sounds like it's turning into a real race track up there so keep out the way of those other tossers.

I nearly got taken out by a tanker one foggy morning (GC #1) so there's more than just sharp corners and squids to keep an eye out for.

I know it's still a wee way away but take care!!!

No they are smaller than that, V36. They are a new design from Givi. Must say they look quite smart.

Not this time around. Gonna do it on our way back from the Mini's Return. Should be a week day so that should cut down on the number of kamikazes out there.

If you're interested, I've posted our rough plans for the Mini's Return on my blog: http://banditrider.blogspot.com/2008/02/pork-pie-plans.html

[banditrider]

BTW: Anyone need a pack? I'm not sure if it's a Hallmark or Ventura, but it's a big un and slips over Ventura pack racks etc. Pretty old but works...

[cowboyz]

so jealous. I would tell you to have a fantastic time but I hardly need to do I?

I'd share.Our one at work is going crap,last big win was strike 3 and $880,each got $65 and left the rest in,didn't need to pay for a month.Still with 12 if we get powerball it will be good,especially if about $10 mill or so,not greedy just a realist,$500grand each is ok.Imagine going to work and leaving 10 mins later.

Still have to paint (starting today) then fit up, mark for mask, remove, mask them paint again the fairings and tank, mod the calipers and fit new rubber and pads to the JadedBlade, plastic weld all the missing tabs and cracks on the Lady Ninja as well as swap out the steering head bearings and get the muffler and hanger remade.

PLUS - finish a couple of race cars over the weekend AND box up our gear to send to Coro by courier and work out a system to get it back again.

Still have to paint (starting today) then fit up, mark for mask, remove, mask them paint again the fairings and tank, mod the calipers and fit new rubber and pads to the JadedBlade, plastic weld all the missing tabs and cracks on the Lady Ninja as well as swap out the steering head bearings and get the muffler and hanger remade.

PLUS - finish a couple of race cars over the weekend AND box up our gear to send to Coro by courier and work out a system to get it back again.

DOOMSDAY Clock I tell ya!:blink:

glad i could be of service....i can speed it up if ya like:laugh:
