The Ridiest rider I know

[Colapop]

I've been a part of Kiwibiker for awhile now, and I've met a lot of people through this place. There are good people and bad wherever you go and this place is no exception. I've had the pleasure of riding with a few of them too. I am unashamed to say I have a lot to learn, but thankful there are so many good people to learn from. There's a lot to learn too. All the good stuff like cornering, and throttle control, and weight distribution but one of the best things I've learnt is, to ride. Just for the joy of riding.

Who's the Ridiest rider (thanks for the phrase Unit) I know? GI Joe1313 - Justin. Chances are you'll see him one day soon. He's covered something like 97,000 kilometres in the last year. On a 250. This guy epitomises riding for pleasure. I've never seen him with out a ready smile, or too far from his bike. He snores like a freight train full of chainsaws (that's probably why he rides instead of sleeping) and should never be given too much "V." He has one of the best attitudes to biking I've ever come across. My personal favourite experience with him? When he turned up to my Mum's place with a packet of chicken wings and couldn't leave because the coppers decided to have a checkpoint across the road (He was still on his learners or restricted or something - after 10:30pm) so we sat on the deck and talked shite while eating chicken wings. I could see he was itching to get back on his bike and ride. He did after they'd left - went to Northland or Taranaki or something before arriving at the Busa's place the next day to celebrate New Years!

I don't know anyone who has ridden more. The best thing is what he's taught me. Ride because you like it. Cheers to GI Joe1313 "The Ridiest rider I know"

[tri boy]

97000kms. That will take some beating. Go GI:headbang:

[fizbin]

Dam!!!! 97K that huge i thought i did some k's everyweek! GO GI!!!!:devil2:

[Krayy]

He's obviously not married, has no kids and doesn't have a job :whistle:

How does he pay for the gas?

[martybabe]

I wouldn't know the man if I tripped over him in the street. All I know of him is his cyberself and he always comes over as a genuine, funny and interesting geezer.

So, big up GIJOE, Keep ridin cowboy and long may you enjoy. :clap:

[kevfromcoro]

he came down here to do the loop..did it once by his self..back to Aucks..and back next day to do the loop again..
bike didnt have time to cool down..
even had him out on the rocks picking mussles.
bit of a legend is Joe

[TOTO]

he probably wont post anything on this thread coz he is out there - riding :D

Legend he is.

We should write a song about him. Can someone with musical talent do the honours...

[TOTO]

Oh my god. crazy americans will sell Ice to an Escimo.

[Quasievil]

Gi was at Home in Hamilton on Saturday, he dropped in brought some Kevlar Jeans and went for a tootle to Wellington and back via Hawkes bay.
guys crazy !

[NOMIS]

seen his bike one nyte on queesn st, well i didnt no it was his.
Carried on driving then i see this clown walking down the st in full red camo riding gear at 1am on a friday night and regognised him form of kb's.
Said " aye your gijoe" he said "Yip" i said i got a hornet to he sai " awsum " the best" and i was like yeh.

nice guy.

:laugh: NO, I simply can't accept that,It's a joke. Not even the yanks. No no no, it's wrong!

Now, maybe a trailer that winds your speedo backwards.No I refuse to believe it. Bad Big Dave. :eek5:

Argh, Nooooooo, it offends my eyes. Here we are celebrating a true cowboy,a legend, a genuine ride off into the sunset kinda guy, the ridiest rider in NZ, and that obcenity appears before my peepers, NO!

It's like inventing a face cream to make you look older............KILL IT!

[Nagash]

Been on a couple of rides with GI, absolutely hilarious at the WestPac ride.

He came dressed in full Bobba Fett costume complete with Jetpack, wrist guards and all the rest.

Just reading some of his feats, he's a farkin legendary rider.

[TOTO]

I heard he was riding wearing the whole santa suit on chrismas...:2thumbsup

[007XX]

He's a lovely bloke through and through...and definitely a riding nutter...but lovely with it! :D

I thought I was nuts doing Auck - wellie in a weekend on my 250, but it's likely he outdoes that on a weekly basis...

You go Gijoe :woohoo::headbang:

[CookMySock]

what a cool thread. Crash over on my couch anytime, either of you.

ups,
DB

[gijoe1313]

:o :innocent::shutup::shifty::confused::pinch: :eek5: ......... jeez ...... thats the last time I get colapop to convince me to ride back up to see him! I'm trying to be incognito!

Just trying to make up for all those lost years when I wasn't riding! Mutter mumble mutter ... and trying to collect as many bikes as I can in the interim ... rhubarb rhubarb ... and meeting as many kewl peeps as I can ... gnash gnash ... and trying to keep it all rubber side down ow ... burp burp ...

I'm going back to teaching my kids how not to swallow their erasers and reminding them that once they leave, they can be arrested for their usual behaviours! :innocent:

[sinfull]

Too late, as of last count there is 40 odd riders cruising the highways and biways of NZ with intercoms searching for the GI and his hornet, back up vehical with new rubber and gas following !
There's no stopping it now !!!

[zeocen]

gijoe1313 gets my vote too. Whether it's telling me to come for a ride, for an ice cream to Hamilton, or getting me to go for a ride with him to eat weird asian shit, it's always riding.

He also rides so much that he forgets to put gas in his bikes. :mad:

>>>>>VIDEO EVIDENCE<<<<<

Upon ending a nice ride around the Maraetai loop, a certain camo ninja was far too excited to go for a ride on the working-again 2 smoker, that he forgot to top up with gas. (Watch the end for proof!!!)

EVIDENCE PART TWO

The same certain camo ninja pushed me onto his a100 while I video logged the ride, only to find out a minute or so up the road, that it has no gas in it!!! I push it back to his house dripping in sweat, welcomed by a gijoe1313 and a jeaves laughing their asses off.

However, despite his short comings (:wari:) he is a great friend and one I truly value, will always go the extra mile (usually on his bike) for anyone. A top bloke and definitely the ridiest of riders!

WTF.When I was young we used to disconnect the speedo so it appeared like we had a low mileage bike.Is this for those "bikers" who trailer their bike to rallies?Bunch of pussies all of them.

[Bass]

So how's the overbored RD coming along?

[Trudes]

Justin is such a dude, and any body who loves their Hornet as much as I do is a farkin legend in my opinion! Keep on keeping on matey potatoey!!:scooter:

[tide]

yep definitely Gijoe... he is an awesome dude too...

The first 250 ride i went on... and he had gone to Cape Reinga and back the day before... 800+ kms... If I remember correctly he had only had his license for a couple of months

Awesome dude...

[Mr Triple]

Man 97000kms on a 250 that's amazing... Go GI
I've done some big mileage in a hmv where I didn't have to pay for the running costs. But that many ks on a 250, I have to take my hat off to you. Good on ya:Punk:

*sigh* lemme reiterate, I've only done 70000km on the hornet and 15000km on Daisy ... :sweatdrop

And I think there are some KBers who have done as many kms as that on their chew fiddies (ok albeit not in 1 year :innocent:) I'm aspiring to the heights that guys like Mr Merde have done ... massive milage, which leaves even me :gob:

Anyway, any excuse for a ride I say ... and damn, reading this thread just wants me to ride Pippi out the front gates of school and see what the pies are like in Raetihi! :drool:

[MidnightMike]

Yeop, hes a keen one that GI.

I remember one of the first 250 coro loops i did, Gijoe was coming but decided to do the loop the day before aswell!!!

One of the few riders i know of that are more concerned about enjoying the ride than their chicken strips, speed etc.

Keep it up.

[sels1]

why do I have an image of this, except with the most unfunctional camouflage imaginable, and funkier glasses.

[chanceyy]

so Betsy & I might be able to catch up with you soon Joe for some 2 stroke fun ?? (hang on does that sound so wrong :rolleyes: :killingme ) umm how about getting out on the roads & showing you some of the local awesome back roads :devil2: ..

mind you should be in the waikato middle of june & bringing bike of course :lol: ..so coro loop is on the cards :yes:

It is well you are not a maths teacher!! Add to the 85,000 you admit to the k's you've done on other bikes... and your stated dersire to run the ol' hornet to get her back to 21,000k's... and there you have it folks!! He will achieve over 100,000 klicks before too long I'm sure...

[Oakie]

Argh ... must not analyse ... must not analyse .... no... I can't help myself:

70000km on a Hornet @ ummmm, 25km/l? so...
70000 divided by 25 = 2800 litres. Umm litres cost oooh lets average it at $1.60 per litre over the year so...
2800 litres @ $1.60 = $4480 for a fuel bill for the year for the Hornet. That's more than I'd get for my bike now if I sold it privately.

Ooh, and as an afterthought ... 70000 km div by 365 days in a year = 191km per day.

(Can you guess who was analysing financial reports today?)

[The Pastor]

yep, lots of respect to justin, i try'd to aim to do his ammount of k's per week and i was keeping up untill i ran out of money! maybe if i downgrade my mc22 to a somthing with better economy (fuel and tyres) maybe a cb250r? i was doing 500km/week but if justin did 97 000k in 1 year, he'd be averaging 1865km/week. thats just pure crazy yo. yet so awesome. always there to help no matter what.

[EJK]

Three words...

Fuckn Crazy Bastard

:niceone:

[Meekey_Mouse]

Haha yup... Justin truly is a biking hero :2thumbsup

But... What ever happened to Pikachu? :bye:

[HornetBoy]

Well id be riding like that if i had that much spare time and money :(

97,000kms ,he must of used 7 or 8 sets of tyres ...and on top of that the guesstimate of $4500 up their on fuel.. jesus christ man :rolleyes:

surely not.... thats something like $8000 isn't it ? excluding chains and sprockets,oil etc

[Subike]

that man deserves a DB

[sinfull]

Yeah she's an expensive habit being a bum !!! lol

[chanceyy]

Yeah she's an expensive habit being a bum !!! lol

only prob gijoe is not a bum ... but he gets crap loads of holidays being a teacher :whistle:

[sinfull]

Awww and here's me thinking that his Quote and no i forgot to quote him lol damb that short memory loss ! But *going back to teach the kids that they can get in trouble for being normal* (or words to that effect) meant, that he felt that there was a place for someone like him in todays education system and he had decided to take it up again after having a break !
Forgive me for being assumptive !
Personally I think another 70 k is a better option !

btw when do you guys wanna catch up for coffee (I know you have such a busy schedule :Pokey: )

ahhh :doh: :pinch: :niceone: :msn-wink:

btw when do you guys wanna catch up for coffee (I know you have such a busy schedule :Pokey: )

Anytime is a good time for me, I'm a bum !! (well for another couple o months anyway)
Morra i'm gonna look out my front door and decide then as to where i'm gonna ride !
Friday its a ride through to palmy via massey and Anza for a few bolts that came undone on my mates fxr's front disc today, lol shoulda seen his speedo cable flappin after one of the bolts ripped it out ! Then its open slatter as to where we venture to !
Sat its up early ! And ya know where we'll be then !

Still way off the 70 k GI done but loving the freedom !! So not looking forward to losing it ~

[merv]

Another way of looking at this is not to think of the cost of gas, but what about the time involved? What average speed would GI run at including through towns etc?

If you ran those sums I reckon you'd find he's riding an average of close to a quarter of the daylight hours he sees during the year - that is a big chunk of year I reckon :banana:

[sinfull]

daylight hours

lol Would say, more like a good visor !

[gijoe1313]

Its just a misbegotten way to ride away from any marriage plans in store for me! If an asian biker babe catches up with me, I guess I'm a goneburger :o :love:

it takes me 5 minutes to ride to school ... when I leave those hallowed halls of mislearning, I turn those wheels and my little ol'hornet or Daisy is very reluctant to return back home...

So usually 3 hours later I end up home via Whangarei or Hamilton! :innocent: Other days I will ride to Port Waikato and then decide to see what the weather is like on the Coro loop side.

Other days I have ridden out of the gates, and ridden around the clock to literally ride back in the gates I left previously!

But my usual thing is an ice-cream in the 'Tron, subways in Whangarei, pizza in Kaitaia, dinner (not often enough!) in Wellington. With me, its just ... "one more tank of gas..." or "wonder whats over the other side of that mountain (Three sisters)" or ".... whats Gisborne like where James Cook landed" or "....riding to buy a Magazine from Slyvia Park...heck, keep riding onto Cape Reinga"

Thats usually how my mind works... and as for the dosh spent on it? Heck, you're talking to a guy who dropped $4K on little model tanks and soldiers!

Only $8k on fuel? I say not enough! $16K on fuel for a year would be my idea of riding nirvana!

I guess I just have this burning passion inside which gets me to swing my leg over the saddle, fire up the little ol'hornet, point his tyres in a direction somewhere... and with a small twist of the wrist, I pootle to parts unknown, over the hills and far away....

Damn... I want to go for a ride now...

[gijoe1313]

Haha yup... Justin truly is a biking hero :2thumbsup

But... What ever happened to Pikachu? :bye:

Poor little yellow guy, he had his own account on KB, but it was terminated and he went into a little huff for a while. However with cute little Pippi on the scene now, Pikachu sure wants to go riding again!

Also, Pikachu didn't like how the little ol'hornet was leaving black soot streaks over him from the zorst and the road film thrown up by the rear wheel! :rolleyes:

I remember riding with Justin in all weathers all over the place. There was a while there where me, Maverick and gijoe1313 were like the 3 amigos.

He definately gets my vote as ridiest biker I know..especially since we started riding about the same time in the same area on 250cc Hondas. I've only managed 20,000km on the Honda and about 14,000km on the Ducati but I've also managed to keep a wife and family......

Justin, I'll help pull you out of any ditch without judgement - you know that

You never know when I might turn up begging for a tree to park under and snooze under one day! :innocent: I was sore tempted in Wellington to catch a late ferry just to see what Bluff was like! But Colapop has such a persuasive way about him! :pinch:

Actually I think zeocen is bidding on another A100 in Christchurch, I may just fly down to ride it back up to Auckland via Invercargill! :innocent:

Hey, you better organise a ditch for me to pull me out of while I'm down there! :sick:

What an amazing effort, froma great rider! Let me know when you come by Dannevirke way, NZsarge and me can show you some real 250 friendly roads :yes:

[MaxB]

You ride the wheels off that thing. Brilliant.

Whats the betting that when you get your test or trade up you will get a larger Hornet?

[Deviant Esq]

And yet, through all his riding, he's still managed to happily hold down his full time job, and busily post away on KB keeping us all entertained with his stories and strange ways of warping the English language to suit whichever whim he's chosen to intone... :whistle:

I think for me though, even past all the many kays of riding and seeing the country, it's GiJoe's positive attitude about everything (but especially riding) which makes him the kind of guy we all want to go for a ride with. Heck, I love riding too, but I don't think I'd end up doing half the distance in a year you've done, Justin. Hat is off to you bud, hope to catch you down here sometime. :niceone:

Don't you bring me into this!! I never persuaded you to turn around and head north. In fact I would have applauded even louder if you'd jumped the ditch!

You do thousands of k's and yet you're hardly ever down to sample the lovely turning tracks that we call roads round these parts... I demand to see you more often! (And bring chicken wings!!)

Next time I come down, I'll bring chicken wings and a baseball bat to sort you out! (Wait...more like an elephant rifle...)

[Luckylegs]

Totally agree with everybodies comments and think that GIJOE is a f'in legend and the few/couple of times I have met him has been a great guy, (Please continue the "tribute" to GIJOE, he deserves it) but !!!!!

Is no-one going to argue the point, does no-one know of anyone either present or past to rival Justin and his adventures, and if not does that for the first time (since Ive been around which aint long) mean KB consensus and make GIJOE the... "Undisputed" :first: ridiest rider.....

[insane1]

justin now that i have the new burger i may just try and keep up with you finally where to next young son?.

[huck farley]

Way 2 go GI Joe. Any Idea what your fuel bill & Tyres for the year is. And why only the 97K? You were that close you should have mate it the ton mate. 3K is just around the block for you.

Yes 97k that's dedication for you. Your arse must be like leather by now. And what bit of sleep you get must be with your skid lid on!!
Yep, way 2 go GI Joe. Your a legend!!

Are you volunteering to find out??? :buggerd: Coz I sure as hell aint going anywhere near it! :rofl:

I'd watch out Cola! If I decide to nip up this a100 he said he will fly down and ride it back up, I said he can go wherever he likes on it, even the opposite direction, he might be there sooner than you think! (or later, being an a100 and all..)

I just know I'm going to get a pxt of the poor bike up to it's skirt in Lake Tekapo or something.

Mate, how much fines have you racked up over the year? I'm curious.

I live in Wellington, hopefully getting a bike next year. All the best

[gijoe1313]

My gawd, a thread dredge and I'm responding to it! :pinch: Knock on wood, no fines ... because I ride like a nana and I make sure I do my darn hardest not to do stupid stuff (heavens know I do enough of it already!)

In fact, I've had more fines in my car than the bike! Go figger :scratch:

And all the best of finding your two wheels of freedom, always good to hear of others making the choice to getting on two wheels!

Figger?

Was that supposed to be finger!? LOL

Or F I G U R E ?

[doc]

Did one of those badge ride things where they give a badge at the end of it or something. Had a tank mounted camera , was gettin stuff of the ride and followed this dude in the red camo on a Hornet, no problem then decided to get more stuff of the the others. WTF he was going home to change bikes and had no idea where I was. We were by ourselves. That was the first time I met the little fucker. He's a legend that many could learn from. :first:

Not nearly enough! I've done 2500km on Pippi, but she's done popped a piston and I've only just got around to getting the top end rehoned ... will sort her out and get the little girl going again! :o

Nary a truer word be spoken mate! My milage is seriously down this year! I will be putting into place an action plan to coup de main my yearnings for a little pootle here n'there! :innocent:

Curse you Colapop and the harvest you are reaping from this thread you blithely inserted on KB oh so long ago! :brick: :lol:

Surely the Boba Fett missile pack attracts some unwanted legal attention, particularly around the nation's airports?

Hey! I'm glad this thread was dredged, cos I seem to have missed it, even though it mentions Raetihi pies! (they have to be from Clowns cafe by the way).

Update though, apparently the ones from Angor Wat (sp) in Waiouru, first cafe on the main road on the left if you are coming from the South, (opposite the Army musuem) are similar, so if you are stuck on Highway 1, look out for them.

ConLucyious say: He who ride bike for long distance, need good pies.

:Punk:

Not nearly enough! I've done 2500km on Pippi, but she's done popped a piston and I've only just got around to getting the top end rehoned ... will sort her out and get the little girl going again! :o

I'd like to ride her down to Wellywood one day ... :scooter:



When you do, try and make it a weekend we have buckets, we can whip off her mirrors, indicators etc and enter you in!!:headbang:

Who is this "Colapop" of which you speak? Maybe you have travelled so far you're memory has become addled and you are making names that do not exist?

[OutForADuck]

That Mr Col was an infamous Colapop monster who was responsible for many shennanigans and molstermating of young, asian guys with too many gadgets ... also his impressive size and displays of "bull in a china shop" syndrome was espied many times!

Like a myth, the Colapop monster is now in the shrouds of obscurity and only rises to the surface from old threads!

A Jerkyl and Hyde thing I reckons! ;)

:weep: Stuck at school with the inmates, I think I should become a relief teacher next year and just ride bikes as my main occupation :innocent:

When I get a far away look in my eye, my students often pipe up "Sir, are you dreaming of riding your motorbike(s) again?"

They're use to that ... and me surfing KB when they are underachieving in class :sleep: I should do a special module next year ... "Restoring old motorcycles to working death machines"

Watching them bin it in the carpark would provide me with endless hours of mirth... :devil2: "Ooh road rash ... gotta hurt, might impress the ladies"

Shrouded in the mists of the past... Sounds like this monster was as of such a stature to rival all that came before... A myth indeed...
