[robertydog]

Fast group is always a good start. May go into race group later in the day.

Make sure you save me a spot. Should be there a little after 8 i reckon.

[86GSXR]

Haven't been on here for a few day due to painting - grrrrr. Loving these vids guys! Right, back to painting (nearly finished - whew)

maybe they should have a yamaha group to stop making all the other bikes feel bad.

[GSVR]

They call it the fast group for Kawasakis riders but its actually the same as the medium group at any Suzuki trackday.

See you there my favourite Quack rider.

Hope this is painting up some trackday fairings for the GSXR for saturday and not something else!


Thinking people may have to camp at the gate overnight to get a spot if its anything like last years!

Not that long, but there's a couple of corners...

You may want fuel in Masterton before you head to Castlepoint. Would be better to leave earlier and lunch at Castlepoint.

Yep not bad at all here and absolutely mint out at Foxton Beach.:yes:

:yes: it was stunning day to be out on the bike .. hmm and the highlight was .......... ohh yeah :blip: down the post further :laugh:

had a few flyers to distribute and a few hours kinda spare so met up with Al & Mo in shannon & a wee lunch (after already dropping off 3 big flyers and a heap to the harley riders from welly who happened to pull up seconds after I did .. and one from Napier :clap: ) so discussion about where to head to next .. sorted ..

Somehow the convo turned to swapping bikes so I could ride the gold one .. sweetttttttttttttttttt was the first "other " person to ride it when i was on learners and had not been on her since (that will be rectified in future) with murmurings of take her easy on the corners (something about shagged tyre) we were off .. n yes fairly quiet on the corners ... but the straights were another story :whistle: after topping license losing speed .. & Al keeping pace on the bandit (while showing Mo how fast I was going .. could not resist to twist the wrist a bit more :wari: ) was this the highlight?? ... :nono: it was up there though

flyer out to simply balmy n off to sparky's a ton of bikes there so flyers are being delivered to kapiti, woodville n a heap of postive "yup in for this" :niceone: Band playing & really good atmosphere .. always like sparky's .. it really does not matter what kind of bike you ride ... had good catch up with Rabbi and oops look at the time .. off to Palmy .. errrr thank gawd no cops out that way either :sweatdrop .. was this the highlight .. :nono:

hmm in palmy stopped at Rex's .. sweet poster already up .. time to head to square, seemed to hit a few red lights .. and whats a girl to do when your on a bike with really good torque .. ohh yeah drag off from lights against the daytona .. Yes Al was two up but hey that generally does not worry him .. however the count BB is two outta two :banana: .. yes that was the highlight :clap: :rofl: ... darn funny, geeezzz I :love: my bike

[Flynn]

Just had a good run over to Masterton and got back now. First half of the track was fms, second half wet, get rained on while riding over it. Stopped in Pahiatua BP for fuel, I'm in the shop and hear a howling and screeching of car tyre on ashphalt, look out side and see a car skidding through an intersection to stop 300mm from a powerpole, the shop attendants say to each other, ha that's just Carol, I say who is Carol, they say a lady who lives in the flats beside the shop, one of the customers says, shit she's probably had a few, she's been picked up twice before for drunk driving, I think shit, I went across that intersection 2 minutes before she went skidding through it!!!!!! Random as!!!!

Pootling on, get almost to Masterton doing 110-120km then a dick in a honda accord car passes me does 140 so I think oh, o.k. I'll play the game, keep up, he gets the shits and pulls over slows down to 80 and lets me go, dork.



To those going to Castlepoint, there is heaps of new seal on SHW2, I suggest stay off shw2 is a good idea. Gets one a little worried about ya rubberband,:mad:

as for the other dick, yeah a few to many of them on the road as well ... had one other week passed him & must have pissed him off so he sits a foot off my rear tyre, so flicked the wrist, passed a few cars & settled into the que .. two mins later he passed the cars (dangerously) n again sat a foot off my arse .. so thought fark this , :blip: open the throttle passed a heap of cars & just kept going .. just did not want to be anywhere near him ..

What a fab weekend

Horse and I tootled the two Triumphs to Auckland for a party via Awakino and Coro loop :ride: 1500k and barely a touch of drizzle the whole time :sunny:
Here are the highlights :2thumbsup:

Bright n early start to work and then on to Opunake for the beast and I to get some TLC from our favourite Triumph guru.

Nice to see an old friend there looking gorgeous and nearly ready for the off. Now HNKLY and DYTN4 have the same fix :lol: Dogs will be amazed at the difference, I sure have been :2thumbsup:

The RCKT sounded amazing with the supercharger too!!!

Sad to hear that the funeral Kerry had attened the day previously had been none other than my fellow Daytona rider on the Rat Raid. We had enjoyed a rum and a good long chat at the Phonga hotel that day and had planned to get in some riding together in the summer. Now he will always be with me when I ride the Taranaki and in particular the FH for sure.

Once the beast was gleaming and ready to go I pootled to NP in the gale and scrubbed in the tyres and the new brake pads. Relaxed in the sunshine and had some refreshments as I waited for Horse.
We haddinner at Portifino in Gill street (I was spoilt for choice,highly recommended).

Run over Mount messenger in a still bright evening was perfect and meant we could wake to the waves at Seaview in Mokau the next morning.

Awakino gorge first thing :2thumbsup: worked up an appetite for brekkie at the Fat Pigeon in PioPio (sound like a gastronomic tour but these were good enough to mention). Saw the now filled pothole that provided some entertainment on the White Ribbon Ride and missed it this time......

Thames for lunch and the clouds kept moving out of our way as we rode north :sunny:
Moderate blast around the Coromandel, mindful that I had a party that I didn't want to miss :lol:

Not much traffic apart from other riders with similar good plan :ride:
Beast growled in appreciation of the roads and in frustration at the moderation :lol:
Has been on the to do list for a while, I am glad I waited until I could ride well enough to really appreciate it. Back to ride in the late evening or early morning and on a dry winter day to really test it out.
Would make an awesome road race site!!!

Arrived at Mrs Bass 50th in bright sunshine and rapidly had a rum in hand so what more could I want.
Great night, even got a short video of Nimbus MKV on YouTube for a laugh.
They were fab, wopuld go see them again if they were playing anywhere I was, even tho Bass isn't playing bass anymore.
Met Ducatijim and talked lots about exciting roads travelled, some that the beast could do (gravel included) and some that I would find a challenge :lol: Lots of plans afoot now, need more weekends.
Danced my shoes off and sat up talking bikes and stuff until early, as one should.

Brunch set us up for the ride home and we enjoyed Ducatijim's company until Taupo. He and Bass have definately got me thinking off road again, bad boys.

Flat on the desert road was timely, just fixed and our only real wet patch. Thanks to Kwaka rider who stopped to offer assistance as he did up some zips. Thanks to Horse for posting me on Facebook whilst I was on my knees fixing it.

As an aside 6 x16G co2 bottles to get 33psi in a Daytona tyre!!!!

Home by 8pm with that satisfied relaxed, just had a fab weekend feeling. Set me up just nice for the Patriots and SupaMaori Fullas to Taupo next weekend.
Sounds like it will be a good one so if any of you Manawatu Patriots haven't signed up, get it sorted.
We shall be farewelling Nixy for a few months and that shouldn't be missed.

Somebody enjoys an 86Vespa every now and then :lol:

Yes indeed, I may have a pretty good radio station on board as of the next few hours!! Been off work today, but feel I've been enployed by RMHW trying to organise this and that, but it is all good, got a pretty reasonable marquee to use for the day, today.

Man there must be something in the air for dorks lately, I was going down limbrick st in our truck heading towards town, when I saw a bus up ahead turning right. So Iam thinking ok turn left to go to town when out of the blue a white old holden commador came round the corner and smashed into the side of the bus. Then backed up and speed off down past me, looking more like a mini down well over 50 in a very short time.
All I could think was if we had left home 1 min earlier then that would have been us and not the bus. Things could have turned out alot different as the speed and angle he hit, man that would have been the front door and passager door been my oldest girl.:oi-grr: Man oh man really makes ya think.:( Have no idea where the holden went but gave the bus driver the reg and discription of the car and man driving. I do hope they get him:mad:

Any way back to the WR thread and posting, well it is pissing down, no hope of riding today:no:

[NZsarge]

Well it is pissing down, no hope of riding today:no:

Yeah, good day for working on the bike and maybe the car tomorrow although a trip to Palmy is on the cards at some point, so a coffee might be on if anyone can be bothered coming out in this weather...

[Flynn]

Yeah I'm on call, so bike's in at work tucked up in beddy byes, so lets hope the phone doesn't ring, I may get some shed time??

[ynot slow]

Hmm,chain to lube,oil change gotta love wet days,coffee might be the go.

[banditrider]

PR2's Rock! Just done a quick 150km in the wet - a bit damp but good ride anyway.

dont know if i'd trust mine in the wet, not with 11600 on the rear lol

[banditrider]

They might add a bit of excitement to the ride though.

[KiwiKat]

I'm heading up to Auckland early tomorrow 7am, going to motomail, grabbing a magnificent Wendy's Burger and heading back Monday (picking up a new Jacket at Hamilton.) If anyone wants to come along for the ride PM me or text 027 2469778. Will be taking the tent but may have some accomodation sorted.

[yod]

so um...weather dependant i might see if i can finally find the canvas on my rear by heading out to castlepoint tomorrow

usual route....track, alfredton, masterton, etc

sarge - you give us a heads up on the weather on your side in the morning? sposed to be rough enough by the looks of metservice and metvuw

perhaps leaving ashhurst around 9, would like to be back by 4:45 if i can...open home to go to

edit: actually, if weather looks the go in the morning, ill be at ashhurst and head off around 9 over the track, once i get as far as masterton (via alfredton) i'll see how the time is going (and the rear tyre) and decide whether i wanna keep going to castlepoint or just head home from there

[Meanie]

There is always the Cowboyz way ofcourse... Burnout!!!!

Not in front of my house this time.............

Have a safe one you guys riding tomorrow, unfortunatly i will be working on my house, got a lot of wall lining missing off the side of my shed at the moment

Back in a few minutes with the weather outlook, need to get to the top of the hill so I can see southward...

[Flynn]

I think I know what you'll say!!

[NZsarge]

Lots of low grey cloud as far as I could see but could'nt see it obviously raining anywhere, i'd say you'll run into some moist stuff at some point, who knows where and how much... Roads are wet and don't look like drying out anytime soon as at the moment there is'nt much heat around. I won't be going to CP but I might see how things are looking mid to later morning as fine periods were forecast for the Manawatu, might venture to Palmy on the bike but that'll be as far as I go, have a good ride if you go Yod, mind that rear tyre on the wet roads eh...

[yod]

still wet as here.....think ill give it a miss for now

thanks sarge

[Flynn]

It's not long stopped raining here, just mist now, metservice says morning showers but fine spells so this avo may be better?

[NZsarge]

still wet as here.....think ill give it a miss for now

thanks sarge

Not a problem, thinking of coffee early arvo if you're interested. Good choice, leave the destruction of the rear tyre 'till you can enjoy it.

Today's another story, I'm riding the Apiti Loop at no faster than 100km to make sure we've timed everything properly for the up and coming ride, leaving Bethany's restaurant, the Square at 10am if any one want to come.

I'd be up for that Flynn but we're just about to head to the Naki for the Golden One's 40K service. Has it really done 40K, hmmmm 40 on the Daytona, 16 on the first Tiger, 17 on the second, plus 10 on the Gixxer. That's 83000 km in three years, Banditrider will be proud :yes:

If anyone's around this arvo and feels like a catch up, flick us a text :yes:

[KiwiKat]

Auckland for 2 days, Mint. :Punk:699.8 miles (not converting) Cold and wet, raining, fog, where's the toilet and goats have right of way at Taumaranui. Then Sunshine. Awesome. Picked up a new denim / leather patched jacket at Hamilton, met up with young Matt (used to work at Mobil Feilding) and his mean bike. then sunset drinks overlooking Auckland. GPS worked magic. A fantastic Monday Morning :sunny: Stinking hot. Picked up the latest Alpinestar Street Boots then a fantastic Pootle home.

Until Putararu, An impromptu Thunderstorm for 55km to Taupo, trying to find a big tree when you cant see. Logging trucks spray heaps of water and passing lanes a bloody short :shit::shit:when you can't see. Thunderstorm continued through the desert road where I encountered a new river running across the road:eek:. That was fun :shit:and deeper than I thought. Then clear skies From Mangaweka to home. A magic but tiring 2 days

[Monamie]

Was a great ride. Nice back roads of Feilding.

[yod]

ended up doing about 250km in the end, track -> out to alfredton -> Route 52 -> turned off at Dreyers Rock rd -> left down the Opaki Kaipororo rd through Mauriceville -> Masterton for gas, pie and a drink, then came back up through the same road to Mauriceville and kept going until it came back out on SH2 just south of Eketahoona -> SH2 -> Mangamaire -> track and home through Ashhurst

left at 11, back by half 2, just shows ya how much distance you can cover when you're by yourself

had a moment ripping round a blind left hand sweeper....met a guy on a horse in the middle of the road....looked like he was on the sauce lol....ffs! then got chased by some boy racer north of Mauriceville....now THAT was fun!

fucking good ride though....nice setting your own pace and just blowing out some cobwebs

[86GSXR]

Exceptionally MINT track day today!!! Good to spend the day getting my ass kicked by so many good dude's and dudesses. The Tiger is no track bike but it sure was fun.

Had the distinction of riding not one but three bikes around Manfield today :yes: Huge thanks to Polly for trusting me with the Gixxer 1100, I had an awesome ride and it gave me a great taste of early Gixxer racing. If I can have that much fun on mine I'll be very happy :niceone:

And another Huge thanks to Monamie :love: for letting me take the Buell for the free for all last session, that bike rocks (and I'll price up footpegs :shit:).

A big Thanks to you for leading the Medium group for us, worked really well. Pauly enjoyed his severals sessions on the track on my bike. He couldnt stop smiling, think its about time he found a bike of his own.

[cowboyz]

mint idea that was.. clear track the whole way and get to look fast cause no one allowed to pass ya!

[chanceyy]

Awesome day out on the track .. in fact awesome weekend .. absolutely shattered today though ..

:)

[slydesigns]

Awesome days hooning on the track and nothing broken! Maria had a blast and from the sounds of it (she hasn't shut up about bikes and trackdays yet!) shes fully hooked! She's changed her opinion on the 675 too and its back on her list of new bike candidates along with the CBR and the R6.
Well down Lance, you soundly beat me, and in the S's as well, so it had nothing to do with bikes and everything to do with skill and balls. My wheelies were better though...

The 675's in for its 20K service and some massaging then up for sale before the OZ move so after daylight savings is done, so am I with riding in NZ. Maria's heading over end of this week, so thanks from the both of us for the fun times and keep it rubber side up.

We'll keep you all up to date on what we're up to on 2 wheels over in OZ, California and Brazil. Catch you all at the GP and WSKB at Phillip Island perhaps!

[dogsnbikes]

Now beacause its the end of my weekend my ride today goes in here :bleh:

Simple plan today,thought I would go for a ride up the Para's to feilds track intersection simple as "yeah right"

firstly I come of the Dublin street bridge going left bloody cheak point"foook!!" well the wof is ok but the rego oh hum,the copper looks at it and ask is it 10 of the 11 meaning what year is it as he can't see the year just the day and the month 03/09/ its a 10:innocent:,who has 18months rego FFS??

Right time to get the tyers warmed up before a hit the good stuff...just get through Upok and there is bloody road works, resealing Oh why not its a bloody hot day there is more tar than there is chip (think they forgot to buy that) so of course not only is the bike sliding like fuk its getting covered in tar:no:

time too warm those tyers up again,start climbing the hill,oh bloody road works,except I think this lot got the chip the others were meant to get,now considering I had so much tar on the bike from the first bit of works meant that the chip from this bit of works had something to stick too:mad:and this section was over 5ks

once I was through that sweet lets go for it Oh but wait there is more road works,oh hangon here is some more...oh look at that even more well I lost count after 6 but yes there was more so that really sums up my ride today,was great to get out on the bike but the paras was a bad bad choice,but will be a great road when its all finished if thats ever possible :laugh:

Well the bike is all clean now.....and at least this moring I got to take Norman out through brunswick road nice set of twisties there and norman loves them:laugh:

[KiwiKat]

Poker Run, Eketahuna This Sat 6th - is the motorcycle poker run, put on by the Eketahuna Ullysses Club.
Register from 9am, depart @ 10am from The Eketahuna Club on Herbert Street (hang a right as soon as you get to town from the South, as though you were going to
Alfredton, and the Club is just there on Herbert Street). Entry is $10 which includes a BBQ lunch. Spot prizes on the day. A 2 course evening meal is available for $15pp.
This could be quite a bit of fun, and is probably suitable for the smaller/trail bikes? All on sealed roads I believe.

Post Courtesy of Radar. Thanks. Anyone keen?

Absolutely marvelous! Really brought back the fun and very interesting seeing the track from that perspective. I've dragged the Gixxers out and thinking about which bit's to put on which bike, I have enough good bits to make one decent trackbike. Really hope you get the 9 up and running and get out there for the winter series!!! :niceone:

[road king]

anyone keen for pootle over the pahiatua track this morning??? say around 1030 or 11ish

[cowboyz]

would love to! but running anit my style...............

[yod]

lawns to mow, garage to clean, more weeds to spray; life's just peachy!

[sarahtvet]

Would have loved to but only just got the laptop back and fixed :wari: so my first real chance in ages to go internet biking :ride:

Would have missed the awesome private aerobatic flying over the hill too which would have been a damn shame :yes:

Hope you had fun, the weather is here at last :sunny:

[road king]

[ynot slow]

That would have to be Slydesigns (Simon). Someone spreading rumours he's selling it or is it true. Technically its not a proper Triumph as it has a Kawasaki part on it.

[Owl]

Technically its not a proper Triumph as it has a Kawasaki part on it.

Nah, that's a Shindengen part!:D

[NZsarge]

That would have to be Slydesigns (Simon). Someone spreading rumours he's selling it or is it true. Technically its not a proper Triumph as it has a Kawasaki part on it.
Yeah and it lifted it's quality and reliability a couple of notches immeadiately... Particularly the reliability.

Nah, that's a Shindengen part!:D

what the hell is one of those when it's at home?

[NZsarge]

Bronze coulor it has slight cosmetic dammage

What's the deal Big G, last I heard you were looking at a XJR?

[Owl]

Yeah and it lifted it's quality and reliability a couple of notches immeadiately... Particularly the reliability.


what the hell is one of those when it's at home?

Regulator/Rectifier manufacturer, as found on Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda etc.:laugh:

[oscarnz]

Yes he is selling it, as he is off to Aussie soon

[NZsarge]

Well today I went to Hasting to see 2wheeled Gasman and Mrs 2WG, pleasant afternoon watching the dvd "a twist of the wrist 2" (quite interesting) then out for a pootle through some quite stunning scenery, very hot up there but I don't think it was different anywhere else. Nice roads too if a little too tight for me and the 14 but I know a few down this way who would love them but as I said the scenery was beaut so... Good day.

[Owl]

Sounds mint Sarge:headbang:

[NZsarge]

Sounds mint Sarge:headbang:

Yeah twas a good day, I think you the other Al and Cowboyz in particular would have enjoyed the roads Paul took us through, full of 35 and 45kmph corners with lots of elevation changes, the only blot on the roads was there were a couple of sneaky off camber corners hidden in there and a little tar melt.

[BigG]

What's the deal Big G, last I heard you were looking at a XJR?Yep I was two that I liked were sold and the new one at Waikato Yamaha well thats another story he wouldnt drop $470 for a cash sale

[BigG]

Come on guysHis Partner or wifes name is Allison all I want to no if the bike is Genuine I got the cash and wana buy this bike if it is all cosha.

[NZsarge]

Yep I was two that I liked were sold and the new one at Waikato Yamaha well thats another story he wouldnt drop $470 for a cash sale

Bugger, quite fancy the XJR myself as well, big difference between a XJR and 675 Daytona though mate.

[NZsarge]

Sorry mate, does'nt ring a bell for me.

[BigG]

Bugger, quite fancy the XJR myself as well, big difference between a XJR and 675 Daytona though mate. This will be a fun bike, keep the ACE and modifiy it slightly.

[robertydog]

This will be a fun bike, keep the ACE and modifiy it slightly.

You need a slap

[slydesigns]

Yeah BigG, the bike sale is geniune. He lives out Ashhurst. Seen the bike parked up at UCOL a few times as well. Arrow exhaust I think.
If the sale falls through, give me a buzz as I have the OTHER Scorched Yellow 675 for sale in Palmy, but as your already in contact with him, go with his one first. If I see him I'll stop and tell him your looking for him. ANZA Motors may also be able to help you contact him.

[86GSXR]

Nice wee pootles today. Down to Cuba to meet a few of the crew then a quick squirt down to Shannon then back to Cuba for the second latte. Then another zip down the line to Shannon then home. Good to see everyone and really good to see Chanceyy on a Tiger :niceone:

[Flynn]

Oh My Goodness Al,:crazy:What is the attraction in Shannon????:laugh:

[cowboyz]

[Owl]

Oh My Goodness Al,:crazy:What is the attraction in Shannon????:laugh:

[chanceyy]

[Owl]

Don't think I'll mention our ride now.:oi-grr:

But we did end up with a large group at the Ashhurst Inn which was entertaining.:yes:

[Pegasus]

Went for an awesome wee pootle, with Owl & Sarge today, not sure where we went (lots of roads in the direction of Halcombe etc), refreshments at Ashhurst Inn with everyone else was good too. Thanks Guys, was a good day.

[86GSXR]

What? No-one did the Forgotton Highway? Sheesh :whistle:

[banditrider]

What? No-one did the Forgotton Highway? Sheesh :whistle:

It was in the back of my mind...another day...

[cowboyz]

Oi!!!! No fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[86GSXR]

It was in the back of my mind...another day...

Hmmmm yes! I think a Forgotton Highway group ride NEEDS to be planned!


Oi!!!! No fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the weekend. Stop milking cows - moooo

Seriously tho, let's choose a free weekend and do it. A good day ride........

[NZsarge]

Hmmmm yes! I think a Forgotton Highway group ride NEEDS to be planned!

+1, i'd be into a decent day ride or two, like you were saying they've kinda dryed up a bit and that's not mint. Mind you weather has'nt really been conducent a decent day ride alot of the time but whatever, lets get in a decent 500km+ day in sometime soon...

[NZsarge]

Late notice but i've taken it upon myself to put it out there, early lunch, (11:30) in Tikokino at the Sawyers arms, if any body from this end joins in we can discuss the return route during lunch, in the back of my head (maybe) via wimbledon.
Edit: Meet at BP Dannevirke about 11:00

Definitely. The weather has played a role, as has so much on. My roster hasn't helped much lately either but hopefully that will be behind us real soon.

Yep, it's about time to put on the thinking cap and organise a decent ride. Easter may be a good time, and maybe something before that too........Very keen on the Waioeka gorge again. That may have to be an overnighter tho, that way we could squeeze in the east cape while we're there...........

[ynot slow]

Don't hit F/H the Naki anniversary weekend,(which IIRC is Apiti scamper weekend),the idiots who take a trip in the campervans,cars for the day will cause mayhem.

How bout 2nd weekend in March,not too far away.

2nd weekend in March is the TT2000 and most won't be here. So another weekend will be the ticket. Cars should be banned on the FH!

[ynot slow]

Had an inkling another ride was organised but can't remember it,nah F/H is fun with tractors(not hogs)4x4 which actually do go offroad,worst is the blind bends (left hand heading to Stratty)and a bloody horse being ridden,luckily rider was hard up against the bank.

Just have to respect the road for what it is,a bloody provincial highway in a rural area requiring care,and is to enjoy,which ya can't do at race speeds.

[banditrider]

2nd weekend in March is the TT2000 and most won't be here.

Roll on the TT! Quite a good representation by the Manawatu lot but there's still room for more...

Yeah the more I think about it the more i'm liking this plan.

[Bonez]

Late notice but i've taken it upon myself to put it out there, early lunch, (11:30) in Tikokino at the Sawyers armsOh ok. Good feed. Nice catching up dude. Your freinds are a nice couple. Good idea to drop in at James and Monies. Looked like they needed a break ;). Nice wee pooble. Great day for being out and about. Bet Lance had a great day pulling tits :innocent:

Those boots, XPDs, are UK size 11.5 btw.

Brilliant to see you yesterday, James and Monie were stoked too. It was a grand day for it and a nice low key ride back from Tiko. I'd e-mail/message Cowboyz about the boots anyway but I have an idea 11.5's will be a little big but you never know. Looking forward to seeing on a FNR or two before daylight savings runs out on us...

[cowboyz]

holy crap! who are you?????

[NZsarge]

holy crap! who are you?????

Bolt out of the blue eh? btw, what size boot do you take?

[cowboyz]

9.5 .. why ? you got some new ones?

[NZsarge]

No but Bonez has some for sale (XPD's) but the are 11.5's

[Flynn]

Apiti Scamper has a brand new pair of german made 10's ish for auction, bring your cheq book, ya just never know, they retail for $450, ya just might get a bargin!!!:innocent:

Good to see you've resurfaced Bonez:yes:

I think the tt2000 manawatu group has a couple of pikers, going on fri night's conversation:shutup::shit:

[Meanie]

Bloody great to see you bonez, recognised the sound of an old honda as soon as you rocked up the drive and yea i did need a break. This man work is not easy, especialy in the heat weve had lately
Apiti Scamper in less than two weeks, TT 2000 in less than three :woohoo:

[KiwiKat]

Saturday morning Cafe meet tomorrow at Manchester Square Feilding (Springs Cafe & Patisserie) followed by a ride. Was going to be to Martinborough but with Manfield on and Martinborough fair we will do something else.

[3DKiwi]

[cowboyz]

mint day out today.

managed to get a few hours sleep this morning before meeting sarge and Yod at the usual at 10am. I think we left before 11.. might be a close call. fun watching the Yodmeister pushing the 9 though. damn batteries!

Headed off towards Feilding and picked up our token Triumph rider along the way before heading out Kimbolton and following NZSarge through to Mangaweka. Magic magic piece of road. Just mint chasing the 14 at a really nice pace. Paused in Pembeton because we realised we had ridden more then 40km without talking shit so an extended stop before pootling up to SH1 and down to Ohingaiti for a drink.
The hit Vinegar hill where got to see part 2 of how to follow a ZX14 and on to manfield to watch some racing.

It was nice to meet up with a couple of Riders for coffe and grub at Feilding. New cafe is mint.

3D and I headed east, passing the three [stooges (sic)] graceful and courteous, debonair, gentlemen riders on a magnificent pot pouri of motorcycles, who without presumption waited graciously, whilst obeying the road rules at a one way bridge on Colyton Road.

Then off to do the Saddle, back roads to Dannevirke, Weber, Pongaroa and home. Heaps of loose asphalt around Pongaroa, just scattered and left. A bit dicey in a couple of places.

A great day out. Now to get the pillion out tomorrow.

no money this weekend for the Apiti ride. Got plenty of fuel and a Fuel card but no cash until monthly payday next week, so I'll skip the charity ride and do the hills instead.
