Hope he's OK Sarge?






Shame., hope it goes well. That green 14 looks like a go huh


Hope all goes well Sarge


Wish him good luck from us Sarge

Cheers guys, will pass on the well wishes. :niceone:
Fairly serious op by all accounts, worst case he'll end up in a wheelchair but the Doc said 99% chance all will be well.
Cutting through muscle tissue at the shoulder/trapezius (sp) hight in the back to get to the spine where they will remove a couple of spurs that are putting pressure on his spinal cord the boring out the spinal column where there is swelling of the spinal chord in order to relieve pressure at that point.
There ya go, that's it in a nut shell, piece of cake.
Will post when I hear something.

Just use Mr Key's account:scratch:

[NZsarge]

Update: My brother is out of surgery and as far as the doctor is concerened the op was a success but given the damage he's not as confident in the outcome as he was before hand, if it's not good enough he said they'll have to go in through the front and replace some vertabrae!!
Barry is apparently in a lot of discomfort as he is having to rest on the wound as is not aloud to move at all, on the plus side the tingling in his had has already gone so that's something. Julie said the hospital care is top notch which is also good to hear.
Thanks all for the thought's.

[chanceyy]

fingers crossed he keeps making progress there Sarge :yes:

[86GSXR]

Yes, hope all is well there Sarge, sounds quite positive so far!

[NZsarge]

Will be leaving home in about 15 mins, heading to Palmy for a coffee, (excuse to get on the bike) feel free to join me in some Java, i'll be at one of the cafe's on coffee street, should be too hard to spot.

[banditrider]

I'm keen for a pootle - want to meet up somewhere?

Still got that stutter I see. Nice work. Have fun tomorrow Lance.

Definately a blob out weekend for me. Need new tyres, rego/wofs coming due and still haven't given Polly the dosh for master cylinder I got off him a few weeks back. Looking tight for next couple of weekends too. On the bright side I rode all 4 days last weekend.

Sarge sorry to hear about your bro.

Al and Malisa nice to see you made it back.

Lucky you!:weep:
I'm out for the track day!!!:crybaby: In fact I may be out for some time!:crybaby:
I sussed out the clicking noise from my front brakes and thought I'd better check with Kerry before heading over to Manfeild. Rotors are fooked and I'm not riding anywhere!:mad:

If AFC were open tomorrow I could be tempted to buy a green Kwaka.:rolleyes:.........................:no:

Oh yeah, some prick hit Tracy's Swift while it was angle parked in Broadway yesterday, no note, nothing, nadda. I'm guessing about $800+ in damages, so it's another insurance claim.

Anyway rant over, though I'm glad this week ends tonight!

[cowboyz]

It is amazing what doesnt show up in the photos! It is a $30 paint job but it looks much more like a $35 paint job.

As long as it does what's required and bloody well done on the cost. It cost me $100 to paint my tank, bellypan, clutch perch and alternator cover.


You pissed some god off have ya?

I'm starting to wonder:(. I may come and have a look see tomorrow as I now have no plans. Then again, the way thing's are going, I'd probably make it rain!

Sarge sorry to hear about your bro.

Oh he'll be ok I think, got a text today saying they've got the drugs sorted and he's much more comfortable today.

Cheers for the ride Sarge. Fantastic day to be out riding!

Was a nice quiet one today, yes great day for it, cheers dude.

track day today FMS!

Got into the 1.25s which was my goal. Found clearance on the race fairings not so mint as managed to remodel them on the track without falling off.

Magic day. Had a blast chasing 86 and polly round in the last session. Sly was damn fast today too. Thats the end of the trackdays for this year. Brilliant way to finish it off.

A great place to play. Nice race bike, Cowboyz. Can't wait to see the road version. Had a family day today so I missed all the action - would've liked to see Polly on the Haybaler with the green machine chasing.

Does Sly know any other way?

[86GSXR]

Extraordinary FMS!!! What a brilliant day out eh! I must have been close to the 1:25 mark I guess. Really good to get the Daytona out on the track, first time for her. Polly was blistering!!!

Yes, was a very nice way to spend a Sunday. I was riding the other blue Suzuki today. The Haybaler makes my wrists sore going round Manfeild, after about 5 minutes. ( must be geting old )

[Maha]

WOW!!!.......Cowboyz has a new shirt!!!!....:clap:
The leader wears yellow right?

Bit of confidence coming in when you know if you make a mistake its not going to cost your fairings. Best idea ever getting the fibreglass fairings and price was good too. Polly was on the 1100 and damn that thing has some get up and go. Sly was the big surprise of the day with the 675 looking awesome.

covered it up with some black. yellow just doesnt look right on top of the green.

fucking horrible photo too BTW

[slydesigns]

Great day racing/riding/what ever its supposed to be called on a trackday. Especially loved the 2 up ride at the end with me and Maria trying to chase Kenny and Sarah on her Daytona. No luck as they caught the lap lead rider with 3 laps to go! We still set a good pace and carved a few together.

Alot of Truimphs turned up too...

[Monie]

nice photos 86 it is really magic down there ...

[86GSXR]

Isn't it eh! We had a great time, I never realised how lucky I was growing up there :yes:

Was fab day all round, soooo knackered today!!!!

Just have to get it so you are chasing me on my own on the daytona and you with Nathan on the back to slow you down and I will be smiling.

Will take you up on the repeated offer to try the 675 next time we out for a decent blatt :yes:

Don't think I will love it more than the blue beast :love: I am totally smitten

[slydesigns]

Sorry, but the 675 will ruin you for any other bike. Once you've tried it everything else pails in comparison. Its like going out with a Brazilian. I can never go back now.

[slydesigns]

Anyone know of any of the photographers that were out there? I want to buy some pics for my Dads phto wall in the hospital of me, the bike and maria at the trackday.

Pass on details if anyone got any or knows who might have please.

Wow look at the lean on that Golden thing:gob:
Cowboyz- its great to see you swearing an oath to `The Golden Gods` and wearing the yellow shirt in support :yes: Thanks :innocent:

Very exciting day watching my first track day-just need to control the wheelies on take off and I just may get out there myself.

as seen in the other thread Chrissie normally posts up a link once she has her pics sorted .. looks like a few others had the odd camera out there so am sure if you keep an eye on the track day thread they will also make themselves known :)

[Meanie]

Something i noticed browsing your photos Al, there isnt as many cafes down south but still you managed to stop and get photos outside most of them :rofl:

Track day looked FMS

[banditrider]

What's a cafe?

[slydesigns]

It is light and quick :lol:

Yes very light, very fast, yet with a solid dependable feel that lets you know your backs always covered. And the bikes not bad either but its a distant second I'm afraid

[Horse]

Its funny how slow I look in the vid, yet on the track I THOUGHT I was hauling ass!

It's all off the end of a long lens, which creates the illusion of compressing depth in the scene, so whenever you're mostly moving towards or away from the camera, it will appear slower than reality.

Real motorsport is shot with multiple cameras so that you can have most of them at the wide end of their zoom range, close to the track, so you enhance the apparent speed of the cars/bikes.

[sarahtvet]

Nice vids on both counts. Interesting watching the different riding styles. (edit >read Sly/Cowboyz) Great riding. That was the slow session, right??

Really nice bunch and made me very welcome.

Great pillion too, shame we weren't allowed in the medium group two up it would have been fun to see how fast the bike can go. Apparently there is more to come when I am able to handle what I have got (could be a while :yes:)

Gave me a taste of how fast to go and when and how hard to brake. In know, ride faster , brake harder and later, lean more and it's all about the tyres :lol: (saved a million posts telling me that).

Forest elbow now, look forward to it.

Won't be able to join you this weekend but have a fab time. On call and going on CD ride and social. Catch up with you soon on two wheels I hope:sunny:

I have my old rear thats got a couple of hundred ks left, not down to the belts or anything just no real tread either. Was going to burn it out at the workshop one night but you can have it if that will get you through to payday.

Its funny how slow I look in the vid, yet on the track I THOUGHT I was hauling ass!

shame I only got in the frame in the first session which I was using to reacquint myself with the track. (I took the hoody off after 1st session so thats how I know)

Almost forgot, Owl (formerly known as Ferris)tried to take off but got caught by the arrester gear, KiwiKat got a bad case of wind and Chancey almost peed herself on some metal.

We're in for the Bay, it'll be good to get out East, just for a change of course.

[slydesigns]

thats what the helmets are for

Dude... he wore a hoodie on the track... serious fashion crime right there! The helmet can't hide that!

[slydesigns]

Someone should drop Mellissa a line as shes been finally clocking up the road miles again on 2 wheels now shes on her new Blood red GT650R. 600km last weekend which indicates shes comfortable in the saddle again! Who'd have thought the solution was to go to a BIGGER, louder bike!

I don't know what her issues with her last bike were but I would imagine the the GT650 would be an easier bike to ride than her last one.

Last minute casual decision to a friends over for a few drinks, food, and fun tonight at Greens road. If you are free for an hour or til the early hours I think we can accomodate you. Can't have family staying and not do the obligatory sausage burning. If his driving over Annie is anything to go by I may have to cook :oi-grr:

Enjoy the twisties on kahutewara valley but watch out for gravel and the noisy dogs on the drive :yes:

Friday night gives us time to recover before riding on sunday so no excuses Sly :2thumbsup:

More details please, i'm not going to ride sunday either and besides looking at Metvuw I think
A. It's (saturday) your best chance of not getting rained on.
B. That said east would be better as the weather is coming from west to east.

Well I had about 3 hours to play on a Honda VTR today while I waited for my bike to be serviced at City Honda, and dam I so want to get my hands on one permanently. Got back and waited for about half an hour so read a copy of Kiwirider they had and saw a pic and story by Sarah. Didn't realise Sarah worked for them!

But anyway my bike now has fresh coolant,oil,brake fluid and they finaley fixed that anoying squeak comming from the clutch lever after I discovered rust comming from under the bolt securing the lever in place.

[banditrider]

I only got to play on 1 for 20 minutes...

[Elysium]

I only got to play on 1 for 20 minutes...

They probely thought you shifty looking :laugh: Well I did have a $400 dollar service done on my bike so I think some time on another bike shouldn't be a problem.

[banditrider]

It was my commute...they only gave me a 250 when my VTR was getting a service :(

[Elysium]

It was my commute...they only gave me a 250 when my VTR was getting a service :(

At least tell me it was a Honda?

Barely, just the one cylinder and less power than my weedeater...

I think you'll find that was Bike Rider Magazine (http://www.brm.co.nz/). But don't worry, apparently a common mistake. :) It's her writeup of her track day with Moto TT in Taupo a few weeks back - Moto TT asked if they could stick it in the magazine, and so it was! Unfortunately the article doesn't credit Gary for the photos he took.

[Meanie]

Weather looks reeasonable this side of the ranges so a riding we will go
Anyone coming see you at Ashhurst Mobil at 10.00

[NZsarge]

Weather:
Mixture of light and grey cloud, brightening up over the Ruahine ranges rather quickly, some blue sky over there. The high hills over east are covered in low cloud and from what I could see it might have bee a wee bit brighter out toward the coast (maybe) with a north-east breeze.
I think the once we get to the top of the track you'll be able to get a decent outlook over the land but in all I can't say I saw it raining anywhere. Bit damp in sheltered corners though.

[banditrider]

Keep an eye out for a little red bike.

[Elysium]

Well too late for me. Flatmates had a lot to drink last night(one had a mate around who has a flatmte who owns a flash CBR 1000) and one of them locked the garage from the inside so I couldn 't get my bike out this moring.

Well I surpose I might try out these new bolts and rubber washers I bought yesterday for my Givi screen. The ones that came with it are too short as the brackets didn't line up correctly to the holes.

Shit. Either I'm getting old or I've had too much too drink. It took me 30 mins. to work this one out.

Finished the fence, stained it, I'm sorted for the fine weather tomorrow.

[86GSXR]

Yep, great ride, turned into quite a long one in the end, but oh what roads. A bit too many roadworks on one section, and I had more stones thrown at me by my own bike than any other lol. Nice touch arriving in Pongaroa in time for the ANZAC parade FMS :yes:

We missed you Cowboyz they made fun of me instead since you weren't there.

You forgot the ABS.

You forgot the ABS.

Will these 15hp limited bikes need tyre warmers before riding to the cafe?

[cowboyz]

And it was pretty easy too...especially when you suggested that bikes should be limited to 15hp...


So gsvr is moonlighting as a honda salesman then?

Better than being burned at the stake tho I guess - ouch. I liked your style with the takeaways, he was quite good about it in the end, must remember that one.

The future is bleak :pinch:


You forgot the ABS.

And the Bismark :eek:

Undoubtably. And Ohlins.........

Quick, hide the soap :blank:

Yea those roadworks were a pain i had to stop twice to free my brake pedal up once when it locked off and then it locked on




We missed you Cowboyz they made fun of me instead since you weren't there.
You make it so easy though

Shees, sounds like you guys and girls had fun at the weekend, we ended up caging it to Tauranga for the weekend, what a shocker, the weather was crap!!! Then we got diverted to Bulls from Kakariki to get home to find it was my wife's aunty, husband and his parents in the accident at the bottom of the hill. Sounds like a boy lost control of his vehicle comming down the hill, crossed the centre line and hit them head on. Wife's aunty has 2 broken wrists, broken sternum, multi cuts requiring stitches and is a lot of pain, which them are investigating still. Both his parents were in the vehicle and it is likely they both will die, well they are giving the mother 20% chance of survival and the father has been sent to Wellington Hosp this avo. The uncle who was driving had a nasty bump on the head but was discharged from hospital. Hopefully things get better for them

[86GSXR]

That's absolutely terrible Lance! My sympathies and best wishes go out to you and your family. Very sorry to hear this.

It was bright and blustery when I got up but by the time I had found the hounds and got the beast ready the bluster was just a breeze :2thumbsup:

I realise after 2 outings that CD aren't known for being punctual but we got off pretty close to 9. A few gravel moments on the papras but a perfect autumn day for an outing and all went well until just before Raetehi. Andy, Trumpy and I arrived at the garage and even after struggling to get the efpost to work we were 3 bikes short.

Luckily it was just a tyre and Blacksheep was nifty with his repair, sure there will be pics to follow:yes:

It held up well and we had a great lunch at Ohakune before heading back via Kimbolton. The unmarked gravel patch between Rangawhahia and Kimbolton gave us all a tweak and an excuse to stop for coffees and beers before heading home in all directions.

I wasn't that keen to get out of bed this morning but glad I did. Great ride and Kate did an awesome job of pillioning and keeping dad under control.

Can't wait for the mystery tour :yes:

[Monie]

Nice day for a ride but sadly was not able to go for a ride.. So pleased everyone else had a nice day..

[Flynn]

Good for you, life is too dam short....hope it went well

You'd think I'd know better than anyone else huh.

Was O.K. not a lot said, can only get better

[chanceyy]

I hear you on that one Monie

however got heaps done today ..

Al arrived on the tiger .. and promptly got into my pants :whistle: then we shot down to watch Mo play indoor Hockey :clap:
got back home just before the duck 01 arrived to do some work (after throughly checking out the new tiger of course)

Mo & I disappeared to do horses feet .. came back and yup the boys had only just started .. but with all 4 of us it did not take long to complete .. Al was looking very Sexy - but just a touch gay I might add :laugh:
coffee & chat before the other 3 departed .. then cleaned the truck, covered the horses and mowed lawns ... all set to head for a 4 day weekend next weekend :yes:

so outta 4 of us Al was the only one enjoy the weather on two wheels .. :wari:

A gay old time eh, that's what happens when one forgets the jeans :doh:

Had an action packed weekend and topped it off with a great wee ride down the line :yes: Good to catch up with everyone including Owl, Sarge and Pegasus on my return to Palmie :ride:

[cowboyz]

thought I might have made an attempt to catch up with the ride round the track but once I sat on the couch it was all over for the day. looked like a good day out there today. Have to get the bike out soon before it seizures from lack of use.

[chanceyy]

Good to catch up with everyone including Owl, Sarge and Pegasus on my return to Palmie :ride:

:laugh: yes it was quite a gay time ....

btw Happy birthday Pegasus .... hope you had a most excellent birthday babe .. at least you got to enjoy some stunning weather .. :yes:

[Owl]

Pegasus and I arrived at the BP early today. Probably around the same time NZSarge was making his last KB post in Dannevegas.:whistle:
BR arrived right after us on the VTR, so we got chatting about exhausts while we waited for Sarge waited for Sarge waited for Sarge.........................:yawn:
Anyway I thought I'd check my phone and wadda ya know;) Right.......off to the Black Stump in Pahiatua at rocket VL pace. Great ride and arrived at the Stump to wait for Sarge wait for Sarge wait for Sarge....................:yawn:

Oh look its Sarge:wavey::wavey::wavey: Nice stop for lunch and a thimble of coffee and we were off toward the Saddle. BR set a nice relaxed pace and we made it over the slippery Saddle one at a time.
All carried on to Palmy where BR peeled off:bye: and the 3 remaining headed for coffee. Parked up in the Square and who should rock by, but Al on the shiney black Tiger. After dismounting he disclosed the best kept secret of the day :mega:"Happy birthday Tracy"! After coffee for all and a lot of shit talking, it was time to head home.
Cheers everyone for a great day out!:2thumbsup

[Meanie]

Its not often you have to wait for a kwaka so consider it a special day.

Happy Birthday Tracey. Seems like it was only a year ago when you had your last one.

I should have come out to supervise the honda riders but very very busy. Sounds like a good one though.

Ahem............ I had fueled up and been down and had a chinwag with Sam by the time you guys got there..
Never the less sorry about my dis-organisation today, was running 'round like a chook with it's head cut before I left here seemingly getting nowhere!
Probably should'nt have been cheeky enough to go see Sam either but there was things I wanted to talk to him about so I seized the opportunity so to speak.
Happy BIRTHDAY Pegasus!
