No, that's not what I meant, is that your backside on the bike?

[Padmei]

No, that's not what I meant, is that your backside on the bike?

Fran likes climbing up hills. Fran likes walking down hills.

[NordieBoy]

No, that's not what I meant, is that your backside on the bike?

I know what you meant :D

Hell no. I take photos of people doing stupid stuff. I don't need to do the stupid stuff myself...

In Padmei's case, I can get him to take video of himself doing stupid stuff...

[Padmei]

I'm shooting out to do either maungatapu or hori in half an hour or so. If anyone feels like coming along text me 027 678 4816

Did you find your tool roll? :facepalm::shutup:

[madmartin]

I heard someone when i was on the beach on Hori bay this afternoon, perhaps it was you. I discovered the error of my ways up a very minor firebreak too, the BRP is a whole heap more big and piggish with a full 25litre tank :facepalm:

Nordie will be pillioning me part of the way.
I am thinking of a 10am meeting at Branford park. It won't rain it will be nice.
Please RSVP to let me know whos going.

[madmartin]

Tempting i must say, provided i can get my butt out of bed in time. Also i really need an audience when that 20litres of gas chucks me off again

[Woodman]

I will be there, with rope:laugh::laugh:

[NordieBoy]

I'll have several cameras. Just in case. You know how these birthday rides go...

If you want to snigger better get it all out of the system now.

[Woodman]

snigger:pinch:

Better go dust the bike off and de cobweb it. Poor thing has just been sitting there since the Hawkes bay trip.

hope it starts, can I still ride?

[CrazyFrog]

Why the pillion ride? Snigger, snigger :killingme Do you have a machine to recover half way or sommat?

Might join yous to top of hill, I got work at midday.

not that I'm any expert, but from the photo's it looks more like a Junkas JU87 (Stuka dive bomber)

[Padmei]

Fantastic days riding & socialising guys!:yes:
Thanks to all of yous for giving me a hand. It was as easy as I thought it would be with a crew of helpful kbers.
I have given Schmidt a wash & will check for any damage during the week.
I'll post up on Schmidts thread later. Any more pics?
Rigley have yo got a link to your pics so I can use them?

[GSers]

Bugger:eek::eek::eek:

[Box'a'bits]

I gather that you (Craig) are okay, & that maybe Schmidtty went for a little ride without you?

[Padmei]

It actually looks worse than what it was. The bike was pretty much undamaged - got a dent in the tank:cry:
The bike slid down - I stepped off the bike at the top. It was unfortunate it slid such a long way down. Pulling it back up was pretty easy (for me)

[madmartin]

so where's the Nordie video update? Perhaps the footage was sabotaged:nono:

[NordieBoy]

House sitting for 5 weeks. Less time to edit vids :(

[madmartin]

must be like cheese, good things take time

[Woodman]

Gotta admit that I bloody enjoyed that ride on Sunday. Nothin silly, just a nice relaxing rideout:niceone:

Hadn,t been out for weeks and weeks and now itchin to get out again.

I hve to agree. Riding both Sat & Sunday reawakened the desire to get out there more. i think the warmer weather really helps too. maybe we should be a bit more proactive & organise more rides. I'm limiting myself to where I go tho cos the big beast isn't good for hard core stuff.

[NordieBoy]

Yep. In the colder weather I seem to favor the pushies now...
Although we ARE house sitting right by the Aniseed entrance to the Starvall/Lucy Creek area...

Big bike friendly, just not sure about squeezing the bummer past the gate.
Although it may pay to scout the river crossing that may bypass the gate...
Mr Pom, Mr Umo Pom, please go to the white courtesy phone...

Was a nice ride, despite the fact I was riding like a geriatric muppet :facepalm: Haven't been off road for a while
I need to practice more so if anyone knows of an old cheap shit kicker up for grabs,I'd bee keen. and by cheap.... I mean I'd pay up to 2 meat pies for one :D

C'mon Nordie..... pics man :corn:

I second this notion... i must be getting old when the Maungatapu is about the limit of what i want to tackle on the pig:violin:

You must remember that I am very old and a touch senile these days - do you require me to call you on my telephone? If it's the route up to the start of the Starveal track there is ooodles of room around the gate even enough room for the glove warmer!

[Padmei]

Unfortunately Nordie can find a gorsed bluffed out dead end track in the middle of an empty bloody carpark. And somehow I'd be compelled to follow him. Talk about easily led :pinch:

How about we really really do Anatori this spring/ summer? I really really want to do Denniston too.

How many years have I been saying that:wacko:

Yeah the norwesterly might blow it up on our beach.
It usually takes a couple of days to unweld it off the deck then about a day to sink it....
Should be here for a few days the flotilla is growing now, 3 support ships and one tug, the protestors havent shown up yet though.

If it's the route up to the start of the Starveal track there is ooodles of room around the gate even enough room for the glove warmer!

There must be a new gate extension on the Lee side of Mead Rd heading to Lucy Creek. Its a squeeze to get the pushy past it.

Went for a peddle around Mead Rd, Lucy Creek, Loop Rd and back.
A nice cruise.

[ADVGD]

G'day Fran, haven't seen you online for a few days, thought you may have fallen down a crack somewhere! Hope you and all the other NADS feared well in the recent earthquakes.

[madmartin]

Nordie is more likely to find said crack, then try and ride along inside it:nya:

Was trying to find the pics of the Hori Bay ride with the TT in the 3m deep water cutting on the side of the track. Padmei took the photo (staged of course) and it took the rest of us to get the bike back out...

[madmartin]

i thought there was a video of you trying to ride through one

[JATZ]

'parrently somebody had a birthday recently, sooooo....... Happy (late) birthday Nordie :D
I felt like milkshake after domestic duties this avo, so went for a ride to Takakakaka, damn it's good to blow a few cobwebs out of the system :D

I am keen.

Went for a roadride yesterday exploring Moutere area. Too many intersections and driveways up there makes me nervous. The road is not my happy place really. Ended up playing in the mud down the Mot river, much better:niceone:

[Padmei]

How about this Sunday if weather is good? What kinda ride you guys want to do? We could do
the forest,
Hori bay,
ride down the sounds,
over the bay on the road,
up the lake & porika
I enjoy the ride up to that mountain Marlborough way which I can't remember the name of at the mo.


Given our penchant for swallowing time with tyre conversations & the like I think maybe a longer ride may be better when daylite savings starts.

[NordieBoy]

Mt Patriarch...

Weather is looking good, for now, Mt. Patriarch, or a play around the Sounds maybe a meet up with Underground and a look at the HUGE oil rig, if it is still there?

I met a BIG Pommie guy and his family about 5 years ago at French Pass, we were there for the New Year, he told me he ran the complete operation for the oil rig they brought into the sounds then, nice guy, took pity on me and gave us fish for the barbi :2thumbsup

[Padmei]

Shall we see what the weather is like on Sunday? I am keen for a ride however if it's pissing down I will be in the workshop.
I would like to go up Mt Patriarch but a trip down the sounds is also nice. Anywhere that doesn't involve riding fast across clay.

Mt Patriarch has less tar I think & good views & elevation.

[Underground]

no big boats out here any more, they unloaded this morning then they all buggered off.

[Woodman]

Yes the weather idea, and Mt pat is a bloody good ride, with a coffee stop somewhere of course.

32mm tyres on river rocks... Ouch!

By the way, a pheasant makes a shitload of noise when it takes off 2m in front of the pushie in the pines.

Mates sister used to run it...

[NordieBoy]

The Mackley doesn't need special tyres...
An old E07 would actually be perfect...

[Woodman]

Oh the affrontery of it all:shit:

Maybe a bit too knarly for my tyres at the mo - be a bit high with the snow melt. maybe Porika again?
i'm not going if Jatz goes tho. All he wants to talk about is his fricking touratech undies.

Nordie did you know there's a pheasant plucker in the bush not far from you.

yeah , Porika would be ok. I consider Porika more knarly than the Mackley though.

Meet where/when?, any add ons, Maruia saddle, coffee in Murch? someone decide.

Jatz wears undies?

[NordieBoy]

Jatz wears undies?

As helmet liners...

[Padmei]

Prob not up to much tomm. Came over all fluey this morn. Did a quick roadie over to pelorus then had to have a nap.
What a waste of a day, I hate that.

Got a couple of magnets off nordie. Broke 3 drill bits drilling my front disc.

[NordieBoy]

Why did you drill your front disc?

[Padmei]

To fit the magnet so it is under the sensor.

[NordieBoy]

Ahh, so a hole almost through the disc that the magnet can sit in?

[NordieBoy]

Damn chickens. Rain'll be gone by lunchtime, but the race'll be over by then too...

[NordieBoy]

Was pissing down, now blue skies and steaming grass...

The chickens of summer are here...

[Padmei]

That was one clever pheasant. Who'd a thought?
Still out for today- feeling like crap.
have a good race

[pete-blen]

Broke 3 drill bits drilling my front disc.

Don't use cutting oil after you have started to drill & the stainless is hot...
The oil will harden it...

[JATZ]

Ah well.... Nothing doing then ? May go for a cruise out to Hori bay, or somewhere

[NordieBoy]

I lapped someone!

Her dad WAS running behind her to make sure she could get around the course though...

[Padmei]

Cheers pete. I was drilling slow with pressure as I was taught as a young fella - maybe a bit too much pressure<_<

:laugh:

I ended up riding over to Totaranui. I felt alright as soon as I left the house. I am thinking these flu symptoms are caused by the bloody pines next to us - around this time every year I feel like crap but forget about hay fever till I put 2+2 together

Anyway the road around from Tata beach has had a frick load of work. It's easy to see how it slipped during the big rains - the hills are made of bloody sand. They couldn't push the slip off the side of the road by the look of it so must have had to cart it all away. Prob the slowest road I have ridden for a while - no constant road surface.
Saw Nordie going onto Whakatu Dr as I was going off it.


Hey Jatz what kind of km/l do you get from your 800? I am getting 16km/l from mine using an easy throttle. Be interesting to compare

[JATZ]

Hey Jatz what kind of km/l do you get from your 800? I am getting 16km/l from mine using an easy throttle. Be interesting to compare

It's a nice ride out to Totaranui aye... Flick me a txt next time if you want some company. I only went up the Spooners then to Wairoa gorge and Lees valley.
I've got an avrg of 20.8km/l since I got the bike. It sits on about 25/27 with "normal" riding and gets up to 15/16 when pressing on :msn-wink:

[Woodman]

Went to Hori bay, intending to do Maungatap and Tinline, but lost all my lectrics, starter,lights everything. Crash started and rode home, pulled the fuses, looked at them, then put them back and everything is all good again. Worryingly.

I seriously need a big ride or something to get my enthusiasm back. Maybe a new bike?

Shit thats good. I made a mistake - I get 17km/l. All my rides seem to be reasonably spontaneous lately.

Did you accidentally turn off the key?

get an airhead Woodman you know you really want to.:msn-wink:

[Muzz67]

Well, I had first decent ride in years,, probably longest 1 day ride so far. Old XR600R. Brightwater-St Arnaud-Porika-Braeburn-Murch-Dry Weather rd-Slippery rd-Tadmor Saddle-Dovedale Saddle-Brightwater. Yeah, sore butt/hands/ears,, loved it! 17k/litre, only get 130k till reserve.

17km/l is about wot I get too. Airhead? yeah wouldn't mind one, but been looking at another bike and like Marks, keep coming back to a KLR, and with all the fruit on mine now any other KLR would be a step back. It was running the best its ever run today too, I think it may have an inkling that something is up.

Did you notice the diesel all over the Whangamoas yesterday? Had one slippy moment going up when the road was wet, but okay coming back. Clear run, no cars at all.

Good stuff. I used to have that prob with the DRZ until I got the 17l safari tank. Troube is after I got it the longest ride I did on it was prob only 100Kms:rolleyes:

No it was dry as a bone. There were a few ambos going out there yesterday tho so may have been a crash or more likely an overfilled truck.

I struck no cars on the way over the Bay today - heaps of old Triumphs - must have had a run over there.

[Padmei]

I'm going riding tomm if anyone is interested. Prob Hori Bay or over pelorus. Leaving just after 1pm. if you wish to join please respond.
That is all.
carry on with your duties citizens

[madmartin]

I wish to go, hence i'm responding... Does this get me out of going to work? :mad:

It was bloody freezing up at the lakes today, but i did discover the point at which my 1198 speedo stops showing numbers and just gives you three little lines :crazy:

Nnnnnyyeeess, a gentile jaunt to the bay of Hori or pelorous sounds good to me. coffe sounds marvellous too.

Post up a meeting time and place and I will be there.

[JATZ]

I may be keen on a gentle ride to pelorous.
Went to Hori bay yesterday, there was nothing new.

[Padmei]

Righty O then. We will be experiencing the beauty of the Maitai valley followed by the exciting & often dangerous climb up the Maungatapu Track to the breathtakingly amazing Summit past Murderers Rock site of the massacre in the 1800s & down into the Pelorus Valley.
Along the way those with skills & curly toenails can do the side tracks & fall over etc whilst those with more sophisticated machines will amble luxuriously along.

We will imbibe a caffeinated beverage at the cafe, exchange some pleasantries & tall stories then return.
Our rendezvous will be the 1st carpark along the Maitai valley at 1pm. Newcomers as always are welcome.

[Woodman]

c u there...............

I went to work... yes i suck, but if it's any consolation the REGO bill around our place is crippling... The XR is tarded, not so sure i like it like that actually

[NordieBoy]

Damn :(
We're moving back home from house sitting this morning and this afternoon going to have a look at a house :(
We are however going on the DR if that counts...

[JATZ]

Hmmmmm..... Maybe I should stay home and take care of domestic duties.....if I'm not there then I won't be coming.

[Padmei]

Today was a terrible ride, thunderstorms, slips, heaps of traffic, bike breakdowns, bad coffee, vanloads of Norwegian nudist volleyball players swimming at Pelorus, bad company, gravel.
You guys made the right decision staying at home/work/house hunting etc. I def won't be riding at all in the near future after today's ride. Not even to do the Mackley as a day ride in the upcoming weeks. Nup not organising a ride out there at all, don't want to see if anyone is interested either. Not going to happen so don't even ask.

[NordieBoy]

Looked at a place just out of Wakefield. Potential for a Mega Emporium...

Not to mention room for a test track...

Yup, a Mackley invasion may just help me get over todays debacle.

BTW, lights started going again,then stopped again but starter is still a nogo. May just be a dodgy battery connection.

[JATZ]

Mackley you say ?.... Hmmmm :scratch: I haven't been there for a couple of years. I'll need a bit of notice so I can get things tidied up at home though.



Or I could get one of those Russian brides, I wonder if they do fast post ?:sherlock:

[madmartin]

to save me googling it, where is the Mackley?

[Padmei]

to save me googling it, where is the Mackley?

whats the mackley? Noone's going there. Dunno why everybody's talking about it.

River between iron gorge bridge & denniston.

[madmartin]

ah righto, always wanted to do that trip:drool:

[Ally67]

HEY JATZ
IT'S YA BIRTHDAY.......
Have a good one :-)
I'll bring something out later.

[NordieBoy]

He's catching up to us!

[rigley]

ah righto, always wanted to do that trip:drool:

Great ride, you have to time the river crossing though, unless you fancy a ride to the West Coast, via the river :rolleyes: A ride will come around again soon, watch this space.

[Padmei]

Happy birthday you old critter:love:

[Woodman]

Just walking to the shed was dodgy last night...

Yup, thats my plan, KLR needs an oil change and a few helicoils. Benelli needs?..................................where to start?

[Padmei]

It's weekends like this that make having a bike in bits worth having.

I'm riding over porika today if anyone is keen.

[madmartin]

padmei what time do you want me to bring the ute out and tow you home?

i need a new project... everything is done :brick:

[NordieBoy]

Anyone else seen Transalper moonlighting in the kitchen at The Tap?

[madmartin]

sounds like an excuse for a ride to me Nordie

[NordieBoy]

Had a pork roast for lunch there today.
Very good stuff :yes:

[Padmei]

Jatz you wanna hook up for a ride on Sunday & discuss the CtoC arrangements? maybe a ride down the sounds or up Mt Patriarch-ish? or just to a nice cafe with coffee & scones?
If anyone else wants to join in they're welcome.

Oh it's real easy stuff, I suggest you use the 'crosser. And take your helmet cam

[Muzz67]

Anyone goin anywhere tomorrow?? Wondering what Branch/Leatham like at moment? Cheers,
Muzz.

[NordieBoy]

Oh it's real easy stuff, I suggest you use the 'crosser. And take your helmet cam

The crosser has crapped it's bottom bracket. Probably only about 15 years out of warranty.

I rode the course today. There's one section I'll be walking even with the MTB.
Although, come to think of it, that bit may not be on the course. I did take a wrong turn at one point...

Met Tiff and Pierre up at the trig and Pierre tweaked my rebound damping and suggested I increase the sag from 15 to 20%.

He's also got his KTM 535 for sale.

The course is all DH except for a 2-3min flatish section near the end. That's apparently the bit that makes it "Super"...

[Transalper]

Anyone else seen Transalper moonlighting in the kitchen at The Tap?

Hey what..... goes back to read previous page... nothing.... must be a doppelganger, I'm still down here.

[Padmei]

Where is it? Firball?

Nope. That was the company going titsup...

Never fear little friend. Your birthday footage is in safe hands.

Bach, Dylan, Yo Yo Ma, Twisted Sister, Cultus Crescente...

No wait, that's a car...

Easy really, Patriarch or the sounds like you said sounds good, might be foggy like today too.

[Padmei]

you said sounds twice then. What time you wanna go? Girls going down the bach for a week so I'm baching it from tomm on. We could head out to prtage maybe & get a coffee - might be better if it's foggy to stay low but we could just be pay it by ear.

Jatz hasn't piped up yet so i'm not sure if he is in the country.

[ADVGD]

I'm baching it from tomm on.

Where's ya batch mate? I'm on the bike for the next 8 days. Tomorrow I'll be around the Tapawwera area fishing for a couple of days, then to Leatham/Branch for a couple of days, up Mt Patriarch and the Goulter 4X4 track, then swinging by the top end up through Blenheim, Port Underwood, Queen Charlotte, French Pass and then back home to Karamea. That's the basic plan, but very flexible. Hit me up if you're around any of those areas and keen to catch up for ride

Went through Old Coach Rd last Sat evening.
Don't try the first boggy bit on the left...

It's worse than last time I got stuck.

Tempted to spend 5min with the folding shovel and draining the bugger.

[Ally67]

Jatz let me have his bike for the weekend :niceone: chur bro
So off I went to Titirangi and back today.
And oh my aching everything. To long out of the saddle :facepalm:
My riding buddy said he felt a bit of motion sickness from all the bends (must be a scrambler thing ):laugh:

Yes, when i put the klr back together.

Did Porika on Sunday, the lakeside is the smoothest I have seen it.

[NordieBoy]

Need to do an oil change this week.
Also check the valve clearances and if I'm feeling up for it, steering bearings and maybe fork seals...

More likely just valves...

Got a birthday to go to up Tophouse way on Sat and the last round of the MTB XC series on Sunday.

[Padmei]

Should we organise a mid week ride & pizza nite? I guess the hard thing is working around peoples finishing times at work.

[ADVGD]
