I might head over, but go for a ride before hand.:yes:

That's cool dude, Sunday is looking a good day for a ride.... Albeit after a cool start.

[NZsarge]

Indeed, what were you thinking?

[Owl]

Indeed, what were you thinking?

Ummm not sure! I haven't got past shower and shave at this stage, but I will come up with something.

[banditrider]

Might be heading up through the 'naki tomorrow...

[NZsarge]

Not up for a large one tomorrow, want to head to Manfeild at a reasonable hour. Gotta see what the weather is like too, sounds like it's gonna be ok.
Sunday sounds like it'll be good for a decent ride.

Should be at Manfield sometime in the arvo. Catch up then.

[NZsarge]

What's the weather like up there, thought I might (I stress might) tag on the back of your group on the way through Vegas (don't stop) and stop at Woddville.

[ynot slow]

Weather is FINE here.

[Owl]

Weather is FINE here.

:weep:It's raining now!

Don't think it will amount to much though:blink:

[banditrider]

Weather fine for me all day. 440km in the sunshine!

[ynot slow]

Pics please,need proof of fine weather in the Naki,can't have 2 days fine in the week,was fine Weds till 3 ish,then cloudy.

[banditrider]

No time for pics, that means stopping. The mountain looked awesome. Have GPS track as proof I was there...honest.

[NZsarge]

Got a wee bit on the way home, not even enough to enough to make it steam up the visor so...

Next time you go up,there are a few back roads around Tariki area,looking at the map you were in the area or thereabouts.Can go quite a few roads from Inglewood inland via Tarata,Tariki,and out about Toko,then onto back of Ngaire and out at Eltham area.

The mountain has been conspicuous by it's absence last 2 times I've been up Pembroke Rd,and only 5 km from park boundary,great views when snow capped,and with good binoculars can see people almost skiing.

[banditrider]

Yep, sister is in Tariki Rd South. Did some back roads on the C1KC that bypassed Hawera (thank goodness) and wouldn't mind finding some more. Hate the main road from here to the 'naki - except for those delicious corners just North off Wanganui...

Not many where you can bypass Hawera,although turning off at Mountain Rd north of Eltham,onto Austin,Turuturu,Ohangai rds past Tawhiti Museum(a must see) and out at Main rd is ok.

There is a few roads off Tariki Rd,which takes you to Beaconsfield Rd? and end up south of Toko(by cemetary) on outskirts of Stratford.Can be boring from Hawera to Waitotara,then onto goat valley is ok.Then again you can make good time up if no cops on main road though.Shame there is no back route as such to bypass Patea and Waverley,just a few loop roads which still come onto SH3.

[NZsarge]

Weather permitting and i'm near certain it will be going to be by the forecasts and the feel of it outside (crispy!) I think I might take a ride through to Hastings tomorrow, probably via Middle road and perhaps back through HW50, if anyone is keen probably look at meeting at the Vegas BP at 10 am to leave 10:30ish.

[cowboyz]

wicked frost here this morning. I am heading to work.. halcombe hill awaits!

[Pegasus]

I am going to head out this afternoon, if anyone feels like a cruzie ride.
:scooter:
Doing my dog thing till about 12 or 1ish, home for a feed & shower, should be ready to head out around 2ish. I will check online if any one feels like it before I go. No plans at this stage so suggestions welcome.

If I had a ride-on for my lawns, I'd need shooting!:laugh: It only takes about 45 minutes with line-trimming included.

[86GSXR]

I'm at work but have had a couple of cancellations and may be out by 2ish. I'll check back later and see what's what, no biggie tho.

Same here lol,watching Janine clean the car is fun.Still plenty of time for leisurely ride.She wanted to clean the car true,even vacuuming as I type this,bloody gotta love a lady who loves her car,mind you I did wipe the bikes dust off,checked air pressure,oil,etc.

[86GSXR]

Just back from a bloody good fang over the Saddle and Gorge with Mr and Mrs Ynot. Daytona running like dream, 36K on it now. Good to see the elusive Bandit out :niceone:

[ynot slow]

Elusive bandit just clocked 12000km,should get 36000km by 2020.Still like the gorge road,nice 70km ride lol,fuel guage just started flashing so 1.5 ltr left and tripometer showing 358km,if that's the case that's good 2 up economy,think I reset it last time full tank.

Body feels pretty good,even the twisty bits didn't agravate ribs,but the odd bump was felt,still 6 weeks on feels good.

Enjoyable (slow)ride lol,and the Shoei is a damn fine lid,little bit of wind noise to suss out.Be good when weather stays like this,even daylight at 5.30pm.

[KiwiKat]

Saw the notice on the web site and thought i might meet over at feilding at one - beautiful day for a ride.

Nice to have you along. It was an awesome ride. Fordell Hotel is a great stop. Bugger about getting lost and taking that detour through Wanganui. I hope you got home safely and are now warming up with those study books out.

Good to see you managed to get out at least once this wekend, Just got back from Hastings, middle road was great, I passed two cars going in the opposite direction, magic!

[cowboyz]

Watch that road through there mate.

Nice, enjoy.

Halcombe hill was damn cold this morning. Lots-o-frost around. This arvo however......

took 25 minutes to go to work and 10 to get home!



If I had a ride-on for my lawns, I'd need shooting!:laugh: It only takes about 45 minutes with line-trimming included.

donut session will result in no lawn mowing for months!

mint. I was thinking about ditching the work thing today and heading up with ya. Then I remembered that they pay me to be there. Would have been a mint day out there. I got my fix on the commute home.

[NZsarge]

Yea, it was ultra mint!
I know it was late notice and all but given the weather we've been having and given the weather today i'm mildly surprised there were no takers today.
Anyhow, i got to hand at my mates place most of the arvo and checked out his new Black VTR, all apart from a bodgie wing mirror it's in top nick.

[86GSXR]

Sounds like there was some pretty mint riding going on all over. I ditched work early arvo, couldn't wait to get out. Saddle was in quite good nick and the gorge has some new seal. Shadows caused a couple of moments and there was a fair amount of damp patches and stones on the road as well. Sharp lookout required but awesome run :banana:

[dogsnbikes]

Good too see you all out and about enjoying the moment...riding the ferry is a far cry from the bikes but it was mint here too

only 36k in 2 years on the Daytona AL you need to get out more

my gurls Are itching to get out any Volenteers??

[86GSXR]

You may be able to twist my arm lol. Also had two Tigers which have clocked up another 25 :Punk:

[dogsnbikes]

using Tigers is a lame excuse:laugh:

[Flynn]

Would have loved to get out on the bike during the weekend, but not so<_<

Hopefully the weather only gets better:Punk:
and then it is 1 1/2 months till full and:scooter::scooter::scooter: just have to get the big boss to approve a new bike:soon:

[ynot slow]

and then it is 1 1/2 months till full and:scooter::scooter::scooter: just have to get the big boss to approve a new bike:soon:

And they say kids are bad with xmas days to go.Think 45 days sounds less,same when you lose your license,the first month drags then all of a sudden it's time to enjoy the license.

Ha, yeah thanks didn't think of it like that, 52 days to be exact, :soon:

I've never lost my licence but I suppose your right, only two more fines to go:laugh::no: Something to look forward to :shit:

[cowboyz]

went for a little pootle today over the track and tested the new mount for the camera. Video on youtube (check my sig) Still needs a bit of work cause its a bit jumpy but I like the angle better.

[ynot slow]

Good picture quality,bloody road surfaces don't help either all uneven.

[NZsarge]

Can the mount go a little higher? Good though, just suss out the wobbly bit and it'll be good. The only thing is though if you intend to film other bikers with it they'll be constantly going in and out of shot but if you're intend the view to be of the road, scenery and such it'll be great.

A nice view. :yes:Not as much sky as I would have expected. You could make money from that vibration though.

[Owl]

Sorry, but I could only handle 3 minutes. I thought my head may fall off!:blink:

[cowboyz]

its not the road surface. its the rubber mounting on the fairings/camera. One little bump and the camera shakes for 20 seconds. In the process of fixing it though.

If I wanted to record other riders (except kwakas) I would have it pointing backwards!!!.. TBH is is much less distracting on the side of the bike too. On top of the bike it keeps catching my eye when I am cornering. Where it is now I forget about it.

I am responsible..........

In an effort to be the odd one out and actually post a ride in the ride thread here we go.

Plan is to leave Ashhurst at 7am sat morning to head to wellys for this...

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=102931

motomarts suspension day. BBQ and plenty of people to chat with.

Hang round there for a little bit and then I am going to head over to tithi bay for lunch. All welcome as Ruthie and Gareth love seeing the bikes show up and cook a pretty decent feed. (not all from motomart cause that could just get a bit silly).

Then weather dependant will decide on a route home. looking at being back in town about 4pm.

whos in?

leaving ashhurst mobil at 7am. probably head o-cow-trees and through linton. you could meet us at linton at 8.30am by the time everyone shows up late, we have 5 smokes, talk shit and work out how to start the bikes.

On the off chance we actually get our shit together it might pay to be at linton by 7.20am.

Be interesting to see what that's like, still have the Scorpion "All in" jacket in the back of my mind but I might talk to Sam about it first as it's sure to need modifications if I bought it, short of that I think it's the style of jacket i'd go for if I get Sam to make me one.

Typical though nice days during week,then weekend and crap.Was a few bikes around Hastings yesterday arvo,amazing the weather change about Takapau.Then approaching Danevegas the dark cloud surrounded,didn't rain but a few spits.

[cowboyz]

forcast is not really mint but then again the forcast hasnt been mint for a few days and the weather hasnt been that bad. I thought it was gonna tunr to crap tonight but riding home was really pleasent. will see what its like in the morning. would still like to go.

[cowboyz]

meanies addicted to work so cant leave till 11am.

So I am thinking a slight change of plan. Leave from JS kitchens (156 fairs rd) at 11 am and heading south to motomart then heading out to titihi bay for arvo snack before heading home.

I doubt the weather is going to be that bad! Who is keen now.

Yeah still interested, that departure time certainly take the pressure of a little but I don't like chances of getting your bikes suspension looked at leaving it that late, I reckon it'll be a pretty popular day. Then again I guess you never know aye...

yeah. I think the likelyhood of getting bike checked over is sliming. But do get to ride piecock and haywards so still worth a day out. Ruthie and Gareth are keen to check out the bikes and have a chinwag. Just checking the weather and it says showers in morning and clearing in arvo so leaving at 11 it is highly likely we will miss the lot.

[86GSXR]

Oh bugger. I just raced in from Ocowtree to town, got changed and now read this. What am I going to do for 4 1/2 hrs? Hmmm, maybe a latte :calm:

[cowboyz]

only one though! You havent got time for 2! what weather like out there?

[Meanie]

Not looking the flashest out there but then it can only get better, Monie and i are going anyway, thats why we spent the money on gear
Jug will be hot here if anyone decides to call in a bit earlier

[86GSXR]

only one though! You havent got time for 2! what weather like out there?

Well had a nice ONE lol. Forecast is not too great for later on tho....... Sarge, I've got your sunnies with me, not that you'll need em today but I'll get them to you :yes:

Sweet! If I go I'll be interested to see how the jacket goes.

[cowboyz]

just got a call from ruthie.

light winds and showers in wellington at the moment with clear breaks overhead. looks like it will be fine by this arvo

[NZsarge]

Do I? Don't I? Grrr!
Will re-assess at 10am, was looking ok earlier but there is some shitty looking stuff rolling this way, will make a call on it for myself then.

[chanceyy]

just to let you know currently very heavy rain here, with the odd burst of torrential rain, just got back from horses & currently quite a bit of surface water on the roads and still looking very dark

[NZsarge]

Hmm, sun is out here but I can even see enough from the valley to see it's pretty evil toward the ranges, was expecting to see some rain if I rode today but if it's gonna be shit like that then I might let it slide I think.

I'll sit it out and see what tomorrow brings, gonna post for coffee in rant'n'rave.

Would like to have ridden today but in all honesty it just sounds pretty shit out there, as usual i'll probably be wrong and there'll be a couple of spits and the odd puff of wind so...

[cowboyz]

Looks like the front is moving up the island fast. in an hour it should be gone


On another note. just changed my front tyre. 10022km out of a pirelli diablo.

rain has eased to a steady drizzle .. no wind either, still quite a bit of water around .. but that will prob drain off quite quickly now ..

still looks fairly set in no clearing patches yet

[NZsarge]

Will be interested to here how the mods work out for you, ride safe.

[Owl]

He he.. Near enough, you going?
I'll sit it out and see what tomorrow brings, gonna post for coffee in rant'n'rave.

Would like to have ridden today but in all honesty it just sounds pretty shit out there, as usual i'll probably be wrong and there'll be a couple of spits and the odd puff of wind so...

Nah I'm pulling the plug too. I wasn't planning on getting suspension looked at and was just going for the ride. Better days than this to do that, so we'll see you at Moxxie's.

[ynot slow]

Was supposed to be 120km winds around Wellington on late weather last night,hopefully wrong.

You shoulda been there! FMS day! BTW, those bulbs are awesome! :2thumbsup

Nah, don't really enjoy riding in shit:no: Spent the afternoon with Tracy and Sarge at Moxies and Anza's.

Glad those bulbs worked out mint! Better than stock in mine, but I think the reflectors are the big issue.

[cowboyz]

yep. awesome day riding. wellington was all good. least ammount of wind I have seen in wellys for a long time and piecock and haywards were dry. Got a little drizzle further north but didnt have the mangrips on all day and was warm as. Roads that were wet were ok. still managed a healthy moving average (not gonna talk about the stopping average)
Turned out to be a real Ashhurst ride.

.. plenty of smoke stops
.. Plenty of smoke stops
.. Got lost
.. Lost 1 rider (TSS huh 86?)

all boxes checked!

honestly. the worst weather was the 2km ride out of palmerston north and then it was mint. I was expecting a rough one but turned out to be a great day. Got over an hours footage from the camera Ill work on later. Uploaded pics to my sig already

Good to see your nephew has got over his fear of black Triumphs:laugh:

Weather was still crap here until well after 2pm. Figured you guys would experience the same, so wasn't regretting my decision. How did you get on with your suspension, or were there too many bikes lurking?

[cowboyz]

way too many bikes there by the time we got there so just hung around for a while and then hit the road again. Probably just saved myself $5k!

[Meanie]

Awesome day out, was just what i needed, gonna have to steer clear of Otaki for a while though, it didnt seem to like me today

Nope, something a wee bit heavier.

Anyone heading out tomorrow, Sunday?

[cowboyz]

86 was talking about heading down to the bears ride in wellys. I wrecked my rear tyre today so wont be going anywhere tomorrow

[GSVR]

Might go out for a Nanoride in the afternoon. Fuel load and prior contractual agreements will keep it brief.



86 was talking about heading down to the bears ride in wellys. I wrecked my rear tyre today so wont be going anywhere tomorrow

Bears ride? I assume that is at the Wellington Zoo. 86 put down the Latte or stop rolling that cigerette and inform the masses. Must be subliminal I associate those black bike riders with zoo animals.

Now Lance I hear you may have saved yourself 5k in suspension work by avoiding the suspension check yesterday but did you consider the extra tyrewear and how quickly that 5k could be recovered?

Will check this thread at midday re:riding

Do me a favour and wag ya finger at the group when ya meet them in featherston ! Some amoungst them may not have experienced the norwester and it's effects on unaware rides doing the western lake road !!
Tell em if they felt the gusts on the hill, then them same gusts will feel like someone pointed a wind tunnel side on to em on W/lake rd !
Only sign it's coming is grass laying horizontal !
Seen many a rider dragging their bike out of drain ditches during conditions like these !!

Yeah I'm in for a ride this arvo!!! Just put the bike on charge, as I'm too scared to try starting if voltage falls below 12.7V (12.64V at present). Looking at a charger I can hard-wire to the bike and leave permanently connected when not in use.

Well it seems that everyone is being nice and not posting. Pegasus had her first Off today. 1st gear, about 5 K's, scratched the exhaust, bruised the ego. :crybaby:

Silly, silly mistake. Worrying about the car behind me at the Stop sign, instead of where I was going. Lesson learned (I hope).

Nice ride after that through Vinegar Hill, first time for that road too.
:scooter:

Let the ribbing begin, I deserve it.

That is awesome :rockon:- you came off, picked it up, got back on and did Vinegar Hill on a magic day. Every man should have a tough chick like you.

[NZsarge]

errr...:blink: this IS the weekend rides thread... hence the question.

Ride to Porangahau tomorrow

[86GSXR]

Thank you, I got the wrong thread.

[NZsarge]

The idea is to get there about 1 o'clockish, i'll leave all the planning up to someone else as I have to go to Anza's in the morning and i'm not sure what time i'll be able to get away but almost certainly it won't be in time to join the rest of the people going so i'll probably end up taking the direct route via Vegas. That is if I get away at a decent hour, if I have to hang around in Palmy to lucnhtime or something it won't be worth my going.

[Meanie]

What a mint day for a ride. Meanie would've loved it, but he was working:laugh:


FMS

Nice of you guys to think of me while you are out having fun

Might have to be a CLC (Chicks of Leisure Club) I wouldn't qualify for a Ladies club.




The "C" will meet the "G's" at moxies for the "LC" meeting. :rofl:

This is getting all too confusing for me, all these G s and C s, cut some slack you guys..... :confused: I think we should simplify things a little and rename the GLC to the ASG :clap: :2guns:

5.03 into the first video is the corner where that gixxer went off Al. Going the other way, but clearly a silly place to overtake. It wasn't mint:no:
