Hey ... ChCh girlies!! MERRY CHRISTMAS ladies! :grouphug:

Thought I had better pop in here and pass on my warm fuzzy best wishes for the big day tomorrow. The way things are going, if I dont do it now, I WILL forget! :lol:
Im 4 doubles down, so still sober, though illegal to drive.
Pffft ... hubby Just jokingly told me to slow down as I have to cook!! My reaction? Well thats going to be interesting! :rofl:
:clap: Ohhh hes such a charmer!

Im not going anywhere this year for xmas, YAY!!
My first xmas at home in 15 years! Ive always had to travelled far for xmas, and having to be on best behaviour, so looking forward to it this year, and being naughty! And yep, Ive already started much to my 12 year olds disgust. Party pooper he is! :Pokey:

As for New years, don't know yet. More than likely travel for that event :lol:

Hey ... anyways ... have a fantastic day tomorrow. :headbang:
If you are travelling, do be carefull as there are idiots on the road in a rush, if the ChCh traffic is anything to go by.

I'm keen on getting out Thursday, and will prob be along tomorrow if I manage to get my bike in for it's service tomorrow.

Is anyone up for a night of watching Motogp dvds - I just got home to find the 2008 review here. :clap: I'm sure we could turn it into a bbq or something ...

And, would anyone like to come to Kumara this weekend (Sat night) to see a friend of mine singing? She is in a band called Retrovision - they do old style rock and roll music, good dance stuff. The same band that played at the Wheatsheaf tavern rally, which was rained off. I'm thinking of camping if the weather is good, not sure what is there but it's not far from Greymouth. Would be good practice if you're thinking about doing the Woodstock rally at the end of this month. :)

We just came through from Punakaiki today, and the roads were lovely ~

it's nice to be home - have lots of gardening to do, but already keen to get back out there and ride while the sun is shining :rolleyes:

[Trumpess]

HEY ... Welcome back Karla!!
Missed ya babe!

I will be out of going on rides till Woodstock. Are you gonna go?
I have sooooo much to do around here and catch up on stuff, then theres the kids cause hubbys back at work :(
I wonder if we can patition the government to cut back on school holidays?? :lol:
Hope you have a nice ride sugar, where ever it may take you!

[karla]

HEY ... Welcome back Karla!!

Thank you! It's good to be back - I've been telling everyone all around the Sth Island what a wonderful bunch of ladies there are riding in Chch now :)

Oh yeah, I WILL be going. :) That's the plan anyway. It was fantastic last year, I really enjoyed the ride and the atmosphere, and the wake-up in the morning as some good keen man piped in the sun.

I agree, although when school's out I think I am pretty luck to get to run away with my one. Thank goodness there is only him though, would be a struggle taking any more on the back of the bike. My work would like to see me back, but he comes first - he won't be ten forever, and in a few years time he won't want to be seen dead with me, so I'm making the most of it while it lasts. By the time school gets back in I'll be climbing the walls tho' - LOL.

Oh bugger! Can't get my bike in for a service til next Tuesday, that has caused a bit of reshuffling plans a bit, might end up doing the garden after all. I will know better next time - book it in before you leave.

I'll be along tonight, but won't be able to go out on Thursday or to Kumara in the weekend (although I might take the car - ugh!). Sad sad sad. Now, if only I had another 'backup' bike ...

[helenoftroy]

......... Sad sad sad. Now, if only I had another 'backup' bike ...
Two bikes...
Double the fun double the pleasure:banana:

Hi Girlz,

Good to hear you are out there on your bike enjoying yourself! I haven't heard back from any of you since our great coffee catch-up at the Nor Wester (you all had my email but I didn't have your's) so I thought I look you up here - and so I did!
Anybody interested in a ride next Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday - let me know! Happy riding!

(Gulp, guilty - and I have your travel brochures still here too)

Well done finding us, good to see you here, welcome to Kiwibiker! I think I can come for a ride - by Thursday I'll have my bike serviced and housework all done. Maybe we could do the scones and coffee thing again - last ride was great.

Although, there is a chance also that because I will be finished all my housework by then, I might tootle off to show Little Boy another part of the country before school goes back and I lose the freedom of choice ... :blink:

Hope you've managed to get a few rides/work in over the silly season.

[SDU]

Hi Tina glad you found us. It'll be easier to let you know about any rides.
Sorry I don't think I can get out this week but if that changes will check in to see what you have planed.

So definately count me in for some serious drinkies girls!! :bleh:

But me and hubby going over Friday, staying at bro-in-laws for usual piss-up, then heading to Woody Saturday morning sometime.
We gotta shoot back to Greymouth around 4pm to attend me Daddys 60th and plan on being back at Woody about 8pm Saturday evening. I will keep in touch via txt when there, depending on coverage :lol:

Its all go, go, go!

[Towandatina]

I sure did! Went all the way to Taupo - was lovely!

I have a BBQ and Party at my place on Friday (16 Jan) for anybody who is NOT going to Woodstock (where is it anyway?) - would be great to have some more biker gals coming and to see you again! It will be outrageous! Email me for directions and info: tina@towanda.org - hope to see you there! :msn-wink::niceone:

[Towandatina]

Ride on Thursday (15 Jan) - leave 10 am Nor Wester Amberley or 10.30 am Rangiora Mobil Station to ride to Springfield via Loburn, Glentui, Oxford and Waimak Gorge. Meet 12 am Springfield at the Cafe for lunch, then head home again. It's not that exciting roadwise but we meet my friends from Wellington in Springfield who are coming through on their way from Mayfield.
And then it's party time on Friday! Woodstock Rally is on the 30 Jan, so doesn't coincide with my BBQ (16 Jan) AT ALL. Drop me a line for directions - I'll expect to hear from you!!!!

Sorry I missed it Tina..next time!
I am definitely still going Monday, so let me know if you do decide to go, an I'll meet ya :)

[Towandatina]

I'm keen but what time does it start? Haven't found any detailed info on the net and haven't enroled. Have you?

[sondela]

I'm keen but what time does it start? Haven't found any detailed info on the net and haven't enroled. Have you?
Starts at 8 30 am Tina,
I enrolled awhile back..try emailing to see if there's places left, they're sure to help.. :)

[Towandatina]

How was it? Tell all!

[sondela]

How was it? Tell all!
It was fun, I love being on the track..no cars, no gravel or potholes to contend with, just getting to know the bike better.
Very hot though, and I managed to get sunburnt and dehydrated!
Next time there's one on I'll let you know in better time so you can go :) I certainly can recommend track days, tho doing one with more actual instruction would be more useful I think..

Get Street and Sport to let you know when the next course they are involved with is on. Very instructive I've heard.

HI Jally!

I'm usually at the wed ride, along with Helen of Troy, Karla, True to Life, MJ, and I believe Sondela made an appearance when I wasnt there one week. So rock along. Am pretty sure I'll be there this wed!

Thanks fireliv that's great news - I'm feeliing brave enough to go this week now!
Can you give me an idea of a typical ride? Do you eat before you leave or find somewhere enroute? Back in CHCH within a couple of hours?

[fireliv]

We have set routes, so you can check on the thread as to where we are going. THey still havent all been decided but Phoenixgtr(organiser/fiance!) and I have decided that we are doing "Wet's Route", up dyers, along summit road to sumner, round the bays to the Wheatshef. Pays to eat before if you can unless you are happy with hot chips at the pub. Usual rides take an hour to destination, as the aim is to be back before 10 (for learners and restricted riders). There is usually a leader and Tail end Charlie and heaps of riders are happy to keep an eye on ya if you are not confident.
Look forward to seeing you there!

Isnt' this weather just enough to make you low energy :( That one day of sunshine seemed like everyone was smiling again, but getting tired of the gray days! I have appt's on tomorrow, can't do a ride but I'd love to get out. Tried on a nice jacket today but undecided - need to get that sorted before I can ride. Sooooooon ~

Take a look in the Chch Gals forum group.... info in there...:innocent::innocent: sorry boys :love::love::love:
next Saturday for new gals and learner rider gals who just want a quiet pootle along to get to know their bikes and the lady riders!!! :scooter::scooter:

[Retroqueen]

We haven't heard back from many learner riders about this Saturdays ride so H.O.T and I figured we would open it up to all riders.
So tomorrow at 10.00 at the PEG (the Belfast tavern just before the northern motorway starts.) view to leave at 10.30. Head north to amberley regroup there take the back road back to ashley out to Loburn and the Ashley gorge. Lunch in Oxford at Cafe 54 (?) Those who want to can then head out to Hororata to visit the hogs at the rally and anyone who doesn't want to can make their own way home!!...
See You there :2thumbsup:2thumbsup

[Retroqueen]

Wasn't that a ball!!!! Great ride ladies even with the shingle and the rain. We had Liv on phoenix's bike the occasional nervous txt sent through to make sure the bike was good..... never mind about his dearly beloved :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Nice to have two learner ladies - Qof the H made her way over with her TIMG and Fireliv's flatmate came along for the ride as well. Was great to end up with a bunch of 8.
H.O.T and I made our way over to Hororata after the lunch intending to drop in a say hi..... just as we were leaving we were spotted by wofman and ended up being entertained by some of the KB blokes and then the stunt bikes. Naughty girls we had our own party at the fence LOL Lots of fun though.....
All in all a great ride and a great day..... till next time Gals and guys cya out there and ride safe... :banana::banana::banana::banana::clap::clap:

and lets hope the weather behaves itself for us, just for one day!!

So how bout we aim for Sunday.. head to devauchelle around midday and back past wheatsheaf for those that are keen?
I suppose we could allow those boys to come along as well :chase:

[fireliv]

Sounds ok to me (weather permitting) where shall we meet and what time you thinking?

[BADGRL]

Sounds awesome! Just had new tyre fitted and I'm dying to give it a good blast :2guns: Sunday suits perfect.

[Lil'M]

Well gals... The weather aint looking too flash for the weekend :no:
Plus I dont have my bike back yet.. not that that should stop the rest of ya tho!! :soon:

I hope it has passed by next weekend because I'll be doing the Brass. Keen to catch up for a ride after that tho.

[fireliv]

If there weather fines up I'm still keen. Maybe it will be a decision on the day??

[alley cat]

for people who are keen, the edge run is on tomorro leaving the sign of the kiwi at 11.00 but i guess itl be weather dependant too.

[Lil'M]

ooh and where does that go?? I'll be out unfortunately but hopefully it fines up for the rest of ya!! aparantly this miserable weather isnt meant to clear until wednesday.. will post up a ride for next weekend otherwise!

[fireliv]

Yeah so I didnt bother... but I could anyway, Phoenix has the SV in bits getting cleaned so thats all good!

[BADGRL]

Long weekend this coming weekend - let's ride!! Any day suits me Sat/Sun/Mon, if someone posts a day/time/place I'll be there :P

[fireliv]

Sat not good, Racing on.... but sun or mon would be good

[Retroqueen]

I'll just lurk about and watch this space and if i can manage then i'll be there. Sunday is out for me but ya just never know these days I'll come out when the sun shines :shifty::shifty:

[Lil'M]

How bout we try for monday then? Only downer is possibly quite a lot of traffic on road but i guess there will be all weekend anyway.. Im keen for akaroa. leave around midday when the suns warmed up a bit?

[rosie631]

I would be keen. If I've thawed out from the Brass lol

[fireliv]

YUp if the weather holds sweet, I need to get out and ride the SV more. Phoenix will probably tag along too

[Lil'M]

Will wait till tomorrow to see what the weathers meant to do then will put up a post.. rain for saturday and sunday at the mo, come back sun!! Will be another day of racing postponed for me if its raining saturday.:doh:

Wot you doing lurking in the gals group :whistle::whistle: don't let the fellas catch ya.

if it wasn't already half sorted I'd say yeah a weekend would work, but it is half organized already. We will be astride our bikes.

The plan is to ride on a Monday morning and then meet at the Speights ale house in Ferry rd. There is a heap of room for those who work to come on their bikes during the lunch hour just for the lunch and the photo.
Just gotta finalize the details as to which Monday it will be and where we will ride to before lunch. Certainly won't be a long one.

[fireliv]

Sweet, because of my work striking etc I have to have lunch between 12-1pm so if it can be fitted in there will be there!:2thumbsup

[Retroqueen]

It will be!!! but ya gotta come on yer bike remember. Just gotta fine tune which Monday

[Lil'M]

:2thumbsupSounds good!! to both ideas...
I have lunch between 1 and 2 normally but might be able to sort sumthin once I know which monday it is. Look forward to getting out for some more riding on the road and catchin up with all you gals!

[kerryhare]

Lets hope my bike is ready so I can come to. Speights ferry Rd is just around the corner.

Well big bike weekend ay! was in getting my WOF on Saturday n the guy told me there was the ACC run on, gutted i missed it! although on my way back into town to get my rego I seemed to have caught the tail end of it. Biketoberfest wasnt bad for first time running, any excuse to wander round, look at bikes, drink and EAT (Ya get that one HOT ;)) hehehe
So now the R6 is back up n running, WOF and Reg sorted, suspension adjusted for me so its super comfy now and new spark plugs which it aparantly desparately needed so running heaps smoother.. so Im itching to get out riding again!!
Am thinking of maybe doin an akaroa run next sunday if anyones keen? Racing Saturday so will be a weekend of it!

Hey there, I'm the "L" plate scottish chick RetroQueen was talking about, welcome to the site!

Heard there was quite the turn out at the ACC protest ride.

Interesting thread has been started by Chch-zed about being asked not to hand out leaflets at the Bikerfest thing.... Interesting read

[Retroqueen]

Hey Gals!!
As most of you know there is an article in the process of being written about Gal bike riders in Christchurch.
We are now at the point of having the press photographer come out to take photos.
So the lunch run for Monday the 9th of November is a go ahead.
Meeting at the Burger King car-park in Moorhouse ave at 10.00 am for a 10.30 departure. Riding up and over dyers pass around the bays to Lyttelton for a latte stop.
Then on over Evans pass down into Sumner with the lunch happening at the Speights Alehouse in Ferry road between 12 and 2.
There are a few of you who can't ride due to other commitments but have said you would come for lunch on your bikes.
This was planned in such a way that we could get as many gal's together at once. The carpark at the Speights is big enough on a Monday to accommodate a line up. The photographer seems to want a shot from a scenic spot though so once I've spoken to him I will know if we are taking one at the top of dyers or at the evans pass carpark..
See you next week and drop me a pm if ya think you can make it......
cheers
RQ

[Maddmaxs]

Would have loved to come along today, but just not enough flexibility in my lunch time - by the time I got there I would have had to turn around and come back to work. Hope you had a good turn out and that you had a dry run through Dyers.

For those that don't know- if we call ahead off time the star & garter at Waikari can sometimes make yummy scones-jam & cream.
From Waikari we can decide if we want to do the scargil or the leader valley loop.

Hi Girlz,

Haven't been online for a while (almost a year, I think - or longer?) Anyway, is there anything happening before or after Xmas? How about Xmas coffee at the NorWester in Amberley Tuesday (22) or Wednesday (23) and a ride?:cool:

[Jally Bean]

Hi Gals,
I'm hanging out for a cooler pair of pants to wear that are slightly armoured - I'm riding in a pair of dry riders with the lining zipped out but on even slightly warm days they just stick to me and I can't get them up and down to go to the loo for goodness sake! And actually they stick to me so badly that after walking round for a while I have to do a little dance to wriggle the knees up to the right place and even then I'm totally uncomfy riding. I'm not brave enough to ride in just jeans anymore. I've seen a heap on-line and read all the recommendations for QMoto and Draggin on here but sizing is so confusing it would just be easier to try them on. Is there anywhere in CHCH that has stock to try on?
Thanks a bunch

Hi JB Hampton Honda have some really nice jeans, with leather patches on them, look really nice and are Kevlar lined at the knee, bum and thighs ...

[Jally Bean]

Awesome! Hampton Honda have a lot of stuff and I never think of them because, well I don't know why - airhead I s'pose. I'm on my way there right now.
Thanks a bunch!

[helenoftroy]

I have cargo Draggins...from Pitlane.

They are Kevlar lined in all the right places too

Fantastic thanks - seems like I should just go do the rounds!

[Jally Bean]

Oh no what have I started now? Thought I knew what I wanted and now I've tried on all these different pants and totally confused myself. Think Hamptons jeans win so far but I'm not convinced they'll fit over my boots so have to go back tomorrow... Didn't try on the Draggin in the end because they don't have kevlar shells on the knees and I think I really want the extra protection. And also tried on some leathers but couldn't get a comfy fit - i know leathers won't be that cool but they seem the most protection and at least they won't stick to me. So might try the leather shops tomorrow. Was totally surprised at how much there is to choose from!
Cutie-pie shop guy in Pitlane too - does he belong to anyone??? Think he might have served me when I went in for my new battery last year - anyone need anything I can pick up from them :innocent:
Thanks for suggestions - keep you posted when I finally choose...

[kerryhare]

I bought my leather pants at leather image on Fitzgerald Ave. They even took the legs up and put the zips back in the right place. I had a hang of a job finding pants to fit. The armour was always in the wrong place. Even the short legged pants were to long.

Great I had them on my list of places to visit tomorrow so I'll make them first stop. Thanks!

and unless you land on the kevlar... you will loose skin, seen it happen, jeans are jeans... get leather JB



Cutie-pie shop guy in Pitlane too - does he belong to anyone??? ya talking about the young blondie Nick (avaible)... or the older Grant (in use), of course you might mean the boss Don (well married)?

[T.W.R]

That'd be Grant... he'd just about be able to sell oil to arabs with the bullshit he can spin :laugh: And he's well spoken for JB :yes:

Wee bugger owes me some coin for sorting his GSX-R out too :spanking:

[Jally Bean]

ya talking about the young blondie Nick (avaible)...
Think so - he was certainly blond-ish but didn't seem that young... But it is dark in there. He had a cheeky grin. Have to go back for another look now!

Still looking for pants too - Leather Image was closed by the time I got there. No pants, no bloke, what's a girl to do?

Now you could also try 'Plains Leather' or other wise knowen as Natral wera leather... in Coleridge st, Sydenham.

[Broomrider]

Well I was getting ready to head down for a perve...but seeing as he is probably the same age as my middle son I decided that would be a sick thing to do...:)

Have you tried motorcycle budget spares JB?

No haven't tried Budget - think I need to take another day off work to get round all these places. I had no idea there was so much to try on in CHCH. Reckon the Cargo Dragons suggested by HelenOfTroy look the best so far - wondering if I would feel safe in them on a very hot day with a pair of KNOX style knee protectors? Still think I want leathers for cooler days anyway. The hunt continues...

And as for Nick - if he's really that young I need to recalibrate my radar! I'll have to go back just to see if I'm really so far off the mark thesedays!:eek:

[KiwiPhoenix]

Been too shy to go back but I did ask my girlfriend who was with me on the day: "Jodes, have I lost the plot - did he look only just old enough to have his licence?" and she said "Nope, mid-30s more like" so I reckon I got the wrong guy and he already has a good home. :doh:

[dangerous]

:rofl: Still, it's nice to look!!

[JellyBellyKelly]

:Offtopic: must say it's nice to see a gent in leathers.........

[KiwiPhoenix]

Don't say that, all the guys we know will have big heads come Wed night if you say things like that! :rofl:

[JellyBellyKelly]

:rofl: Still, it's nice to look!!

yes, it's nice to look.,.......... hahahaha

unfortunately i won't be there on wed to look

[KiwiPhoenix]

Pity as there is a few there that are nice to look at!! :whistle:

[Jally Bean]

Wouldent go near the place my self...

Would it help me to know why???

[BADGRL]

'D' do you mean Budget Motorcycles on Wilsons Rd? Or is this another 'budget' cycle shop?

[helenoftroy]

Will do!

Lmao!!yes Its the cute Grant you eyed up!:yes:

Personally,think having leathers & the Dragins work well for me.The Dragins(with knee protectors)are great on hot days( wear them on the trail bike way more than on the Duc).You are welcome to see mine,try them on if we are same size(10-12):sunny:

BADGRL...yeah Budget in Wilsons Rd is who D will be talking about.....

[dangerous]

Would it help me to know why???Na, if hes got what ya want then fine, just dont expect to return them after they leave the shop, and if ya try em on there ya own em, and watch how he treats his workers.


'D' do you mean Budget Motorcycles on Wilsons Rd? Or is this another 'budget' cycle shop?correct, IMO, aragant owner... but he aint a patch on the last owner.



The Dragins(with knee protectors)are great on hot days( wear them on the trail bike way more than on the Duc).You are welcome to see mine,try them on if we are same size(10-12):sunny: untill you arse off, remember they are only jeans with a couple of kevlar patches in them, in resulting acco I have seen these patches riped out leaving the remaining jeans to tear apart causing bad gravel rash.
Now these may be ok in town where ya more likely to get busted than slide... but its to easy to get comportable in them and head on out the open road.

[Jally Bean]

You are welcome to see mine,try them on if we are same size(10-12).

Thanks so much! Probably more like 12-14 here but I'd love to check out your knee protectors - planning to make it to the Wed night ride 20th Jan so maybe catch up with you then about seeing your gear!


remember they are only jeans with a couple of kevlar patches in them, in resulting acco I have seen these patches riped out leaving the remaining jeans to tear apart causing bad gravel rash
Thanks for the info on Budget and also that's (sadly) what wanted to hear about Draggins - think they would be fine round town on a very hot day but don't think I'd wear them on the open road. Haven't had any slides of my own yet (unless you count going over the handle bars pulling over into a hard shoulder covered with gravel - my lovely tutor pulled over there on purpose to see what would happen) so can't imagine how hard the floor feels at even 50 k, let alone 100). Got hit by a Lada Riva as a 16 year-old pillion in a school skirt :nono: doing about 20 k - nice scar on the knee to prove it.

So leathers first, Draggins later I think...

: ) Just saw it in my inbox tonight so will have to try and wangle my way out of work - thought it would be a great way to meet some of the other girls too
My complete lack of riding skills don't phase me too much, I just bumble about and grin but I am always up for improving

[KiwiPhoenix]

Is that the one in April with Pro-Rider?? I'll be there. I'm also a newbie (4 months riding) It is a great thing to do!

You should join us on the Wed night rides, check the "meetings and events" area. Will be good to see you around!
