First AKL monthly meet for '05

[Devil]

Right you people, since the last one was such a riot we should be making the most of this lovely after-work weather and have another get together. This time with maybe a little less gas-bagging and more riding!

OK People, because you're all so slack, here is a preliminary time/date/location. State your yay/nays.
Thursday 3rd Feb. Meet 6:30/7pm. Mission Bay car park. (Next to the sea, opposite BK etc.)

Last time we all got together and had a chat at BK for quite a while heh, then went for a group cruise through town which was an absolute ball, then back to mission bay for a drink and a relax at one of the cafe's to chat again.

Pity about the no bike no ride ...... i.e. doctor thingy hahahaha. You wanna buy a zxr400 street bike?? :whistle: :whistle:

[Dodgyiti]

Can't make the ride [ real bad bin at Christmas] but if there is another lunch at Galbraiths again. I could drag my gammy arse down there for a yarn. :wacko:

Sorry to hear that. What happened, how are you doing? How is the Guzzi?

[Dodgyiti]

Sorry to hear that. What happened, how are you doing? How is the Guzzi?

Aww mate, the Guzzi is a write-off, to think I destroyed such a honey of a bike will live with me forever.
A Volvo [ what else ?? ] turned right, right in front of me on the SH 1 near Dairy Flat on Christmas day of all times. No indicator, as you will have guessed.
Me, well 2 days in critical care with a zillion tubes and shit comming out of everywhere.
Complex fracture [ well 4 actually] of the pelvis, so no walkies for 2 or more months. And more metal plates and screws. Might need water wings next time I go swimming just to keep afloat.
4 broken ribs, and 2 lungs full a holes from said ribs.
And just when I was getting over it a bit, my immune system shut down, and I got the worst case of Shingles ever, look like the elephant man.
Still , life goes on, still got the Honda, but I better put a dust cover over it for a while.... :spudwave:

[Draco]

Hey Dodge, did pretty much the same thing as you (with a few more fractures in my pelvis, knee, ankle etc for good measure), mate my sympathy goes out to you. I wouldn't wish a fractured pelvis on my worst enemy. Take care of yourself and knit quick!

[Dodgyiti]

There are some pics of the Guzzi in the members gallery, I think, under Dogyiti :blank:

Shit that sounds bad. I hope you make a full recovery with no further complications.

[vifferman]

Sorry to hear about the crash, Dodgyiti. That's not good to hear at all.

Hope you get better really quickly, with no complications.

[Two Smoker]

Ah shit mate, i hope you get well soon!!! At least you are alive and still have one other bike :niceone: I hope you made a mess of the volvo.... See if you can pop along anyway, will be good to see you...

As for me, ill come along, and *might* bring the RG150 along.... But i think i will tone it down a little... Can't afford to get into trouble at the moment :(

[Blakamin]

Shite!!!! hope you're feeling better than you would've on boxing day!
Shame about ya Guzzi... insurance cover it? will you get another??
All the best for the future.... :rockon:

Mate I really feel for you. And shingles on top of it - you poor, poor bugger.
All the best for your recovery. I have found posting lots of crap on here kinda helps with your sanity. Take care. :hug:

Sorry, It's sunny sunday and I'm stuck at work doing S.F.A :unsure:

[FROSTY]

ok its official- I will NOt be on this ride.
You will under no circumstances see a red and black xj900 anywhere near mission bay.Should you see said motorcycle it was clearly a figment of your imagination to be ignored and forgotten right away.

[Ratty]

I'll be there, I'm new to this and don't know anyone so I hope someone wears a T shirt or something or I'll make an idiot of myself with complete strangers. :rolleyes: Might bring a friend too. Should I bring the 250 or 1100? :whistle: What sort of ride is happening after??? (Hoon or relaxing).

[FROSTY]

usually a bit of a zoom around town.

[Ratty]

Again to Dodgyit my BIG sympathies, no one deserves that sort of thing. Anyway get well soon and I'm sure Ill see you at work sometime.

[avgas]

ill should be able to make it, i may even bring the whole bike :sly: . Might just cruise down from uni - so if i look kinda zombieish, means ive been trying to study mathematical modelling :thud:

[R6_kid]

Keen!

too early to unleash the ZXR unfortunately, its roadworthy, but i bit to illegal at the moment. Maybe next month :devil2:

i've sorted out the smokey bitchy suzuki.... new oil does wonders for old engines :done:

we shore boys gonna meet up again before hand?

We should do. I'm starting a new job this week so I can even consider a meeting time yet till I know whats going on with work.

Looks like we'll have a big turnout again.

Ratty: There'll only be one big group of bikers in Mission Bay that evening. Even then, someone is bound to have their tshirt on. In the meantime you can check out the latest ride pics and learn what bike turn up. Eg my Balius (Posh Tourer took a good pic). in the novice ride thread.

Yeah for sure, we should just meet up between Holeshot and Cyclespot like last time. 6 Should be good? Will give us plenty of time to make it across.

[Bandit]

So, where abouts are we going to be riding in town? How intense is it going to be? And won't it be rushour?

[bugjuice]

By the time we have had some tucker and a good long gas it's aboooot 7:30 so no traffic and stuff. Hmmm we went up to the queen and to the museum but (looks at frosty) we got "politely" told by security(who we were ignoring) to leave?? to leave

Hey
was thinking, if it's just a short blat, what about goin to see the views up the top of Mt Eden..??
head up Queen St, hook a right at the top, cruise K Rd, across Newton bridge, right at the end, past Mt Eden bikes, then up the hill.. then back again.. be a 20 min ride each way, let the tourist gloat at the bikes.. something to do I guess

Top of Mt Eden sounds promising.

Pluses:
No security
No cameras (other than tourists)
Adequate parking
Large burnout pad

Minuses:
Witnesses present
Only one exit in case of police attendance

Maybe we could get together and put up a prize for the first person to ride their bike to the bottom of the crater and up again?

My money (if i had some) would be on Motu and his trials bike.

[Two Smoker]

Ill probably still come along, dont know if i will bring the bike.... im likely to get into trouble if i do :( ....

[SuperDave]

I'll be wearing a Moto-X helmet, Moto-X gloves, then just skater shoes, B-ball shorts and my KB T-shirt.

I normally go about 60-70ks on the push bike down slopes anyway but I don't wana get left behind on flat surfaces and uphills. I have been towed by Andrew on his ZXR250 doing about 60 and it was cool as and we didn't even have a rope then. I'll try to see what would be the best thing to get to hold on to, probably a sturdy stiff rope with a loop at the end to hold on to?

May the one wheeled action, begin! :banana:

P.S. I'll have the MTB moded up by then too for extra "performance".

[Motoracer]

Bah!!! This is MR and TS your talking about.... We never bin.......

Watch it man, soon we'll be called the "binin' duo" or "The crashers" or "Accdental bros" or "The helmet surfers", any more?

Thats more like it!

Awww and here i was hopeing there would be fellow shinanigan-naners :crybaby: :crybaby: :Pokey: :Pokey: hehehe

Nah need the tyres for the friday, that and the aspect that i still suck since forgetting most shenanaigans i did before my accident (allthough getting back into the wheelies, and doughnuts). But will save a burnout till Fri so i still have tread to ride down meremere.

[avgas]

Sounds good, my RG has a real sturdy grab rail that we can attach a small piece of rope to....
Thats a grab rail? here i was thinking that that was the equivelent to a center stand so i could take my back wheel off :shit:
....OH! its a grap rail for rollerbladers isnt it?

[Redstar]

Right you people, since the last one was such a riot we should be making the most of this lovely after-work weather and have another get together. This time with maybe a little less gas-bagging and more riding!

OK People, because you're all so slack, here is a preliminary time/date/location. State your yay/nays.
Thursday 3rd Feb. Meet 6:30/7pm. Mission Bay car park. (Next to the sea, opposite BK etc.)
Getting right back to the subject I hope this was not already suggested but KB can get a free add in the MCN events section if this is to be a reoccuring event and this would grow the ranks? what say you Spank me?

[limmy]

I'm new to the forum too. would be great to meet up with other bikers and have a yack.

[Two Smoker]

Dont know if i am going to beable to make this one sorry :( But MR should be there on my mighty RG150!!!!!

[SuperDave]

I'm new to the forum too. would be great to meet up with other bikers and have a yack.

Where abouts in Auckland are you? If you are on the shore you should meet up with the rest of us between Cyclespot and Holeshot in Barry's Point Road.

[Arven]

I'm a shore boy too, but i will be comming from work so i will be in town already... See all you fulla's there!

[FROSTY]

what time are the shore bois meetin up?

[bugjuice]

what time are the shore bois meetin up?
one of the threads said about 6 at Cyclespot over this way, then head over to Mission Bay.. :ride:
why you over this way then??

[Devil]

I should be there (shore meet first), but we might have to adjust the time to 6:15, we'll have to see on the day, depends when I can sneak out of work.

[bugjuice]

why don't we make it around 6:15, leaving at 6:30 then? The meet at MB isn't till 6:30/7, we should be there around 6:45.. Traffic should be dead around that time, so shouldn't be an issue..

Just look for a large group of bikes in the car park opposite Burger King, it's between Burger King and the sea. You can't miss us, alternatively if you are running a little late just park your beast and come in to BK, easy to spot fellow bikers. See you later.

Great ride guys and gal. Sorry i couldn't do anything in the wheelie department just wasn't the day for it.... As for the ride as soon as i got that connector plugged in right me and tony... i mean dave :blink: :blink: had a bit of fun playing catch up :devil2: :devil2: . Great to meet some new people and sorry to those i missed. The night ride back was pretty fun do .....$@#%!#%#$! motoracer on the rg %^@%^@^@^%@^#$. hahahaha :whistle: :whistle:

See ya on the next one :soon:

[Motoracer]

Cheers for the idea of getting this together Devil.

It was good to meet everyone including some new people.

I am not just saying this and I really mean it, SORRY for scaring anyone with my passing if I did!! :o I should remember next time that I am not on a race track full of racers who don't mind passing each other within close range.

I am used to having big bikes now, which lets me pass safely and still have a good speed but I really couldn't be arsed with letting go of the throtle on the 150 and wait for hours to get up to speed again.

That being said CHEERS CHRIS for letting me borrow your bike man!! It is bloody good fun, I just had to be a bit of an idiot on it on the road to keep a good speed... :Oops:

[swanman]

Well that was fun. Good to meet more of you. Motoracer you are a class one nutter : :niceone: 150 beating a 1000! Mind you you weigh about 60 kg less than me.

I must have done about 30 little wheelies and only about 2-3 decent ones. Pretty pathetic but as they say practice makes.....

Nice bit of riding coming into Mairatae, 200kmh + :whistle: sweepers, nice.

Ride back bit slower as tinted visor and night time = shit, is that a bend coming up?

Good turn out and good mix of bikes. When's the next one?

[justsomeguy]

Where did you'll go?

[Drunken Monkey]

Well if you don't like picking your way through loose metal in the dark with a tinted visor, you made the right choice by not following me the way back through Clevedon (not that visor choice has anything to do with that)

Ugh.

And I forgot my plugs, so my ears have experienced an unhealthy amount of wind roar blasting down the straights by Ardmore.

Hello to all the new people. So many I apologise if I didn't meet you personally!

I also apologise on behalf of Frosty, for Frosty, for being, well...Frosty... ;)

I can't be held responsible for Motoracer's actions, either...

[avgas]

Cheers for being such an accomodating bunch, why you all slow down going home :thud: , i was just getting warmed up.
Good on ya Motoracer, ive never seen a cage driver pack himself like that in a long time.
Now i have to act all mild mannered again, this sucks.
Who's up for drags if they are on?

[bugjuice]

I am not just saying this and I really mean it, SORRY for scaring anyone with my passing if I did!! :o I should remember next time that I am not on a race track full of racers who don't mind passing each other within close range.
I don't mind you passing, I just wasn't expecting anything to be on the outside of me while I'm taking a corner on a crest at 130.. Then I hear this mozzie in my ear, and you fly past like I'm stood still!!!!?!?!!??? wtf... :blink:

anyhoo, bloody good run, and thoroughly enjoyed and we should do it again.. As for where we went, I have no idea.. Got the worst tank slap of my life too, so might have to redo that road, find out where I went wrong. Glad I'm home, I can change me pants now..

Frosty, you get back ok without BB falling off??!! Couldn't believe he fell asleep!! :sleep:

[SuperDave]

That was a great ride :D And big thanks to Devil for organising it.

[Wonko]

Great ride, nice blast there and back.

Only Frosty can be held acountable for Motoracer's style. He learnt at the seat of him. Luckly only "Dave" was there and not Frosty, otherwise would have given him a piece of my mind :msn-wink:

Crashe, your improving in leaps and bounds. Lie you said, ignore everyone behind you. How did you find looking for the posts around courners on the way back at night?

Justsomeguy. Ride was from Mission Bay to St Helliers and then up through Gendowie and back to St Helliers Bay Road for a gas stop. From there out to Howick and on to Mairatae. After a feed of Fish and Chips and tracking down Allan's boots we heading back the way we came. Fun heading towards the set sunset. I pealed off at Howick and had a beer at home.

[Devil]

Wheee, good fun. I want a bigger bike! Bah, my backside hurts. Stupid motorway closures.

[SuperDave]

Wheee, good fun. I want a bigger bike! Bah, my backside hurts. Stupid motorway closures.

You want a bigger bike! I topped the little FXR out at a 148 in 6th gear just over the 12.5k redline. Oh well, as most pointed out its not really a big deal, all in good time, 250 here I come... :devil2:

[Wonko]

warter and sky behind bikes

[crashe]

Well me and Erik want to know where you ALL disappeared to???
We came up to a roundabout ..hmmm no bikes... come to another roundabout.. hmmm still no bikes... oh hell we are all alone in the dark, in the middle of somewhere....lol.

Erik decides that we need to go back to the last roundabout and turn down there.. so off we trot.... and we stayed together, having to ask a few people "UMMMM where's the motorway, we are kinda lost?"

Well after asking a number of folks we do make it to the motorway..
and Erik bless him, wanted to go back to Mission Bay to see if any of you lot had gone back there....

Well we had fun sorting ourselves out with all the new extensions down by Grafton/Stanley St.... but we make it to Mission Bay ok...
Hmmmm still no bikes....lol...... so then we head home..... Erik went off at Waterview and I continued on down the motorway....

So what can I say about the trip... The whole thing was great....
Thanks Wonko for those kind words.... I had a great time out there with all you lads....

Riff Raff you should have come along.... I was the only gal... but the boys did behave themselves....lol.

[alastabesta]

how regular does the meet happen, if people don't mind me asking... :whistle:

[avgas]

Ive gotta stop locking up my rear brake too, for some reason my nerves (in my right leg) only work off/on, so had a habit of slamming down the rear brake - sorry if anyone was behind me when this happened, it wasnt intentional?
Frosty u hate center/side stands dont u :niceone: and i saw your dissapointment when i didnt drop it - ya cant have me motor :msn-wink:
Well not till i can get a streetfighter on the cards.
Anywho, when tis the next ride.

[FROSTY]

Shit Crashe that was "Johns" Fault. When we got to the first roundabout He did a head count and we had the correct number of bikes UM ya see we caught up with two blokes out for a ride on their own -He counted heads and got the correct number so carried on--Shit.
Baby bikie was asleep behind him so he came straight home

I also apologise on behalf of Frosty, for Frosty, for being, well...Frosty...

Avgas--nahh I was kidding dude it was all good.
Ok Guys serial for a moment --Did the L plate guy get home ok??

[limmy]

It was great meeting some of the people there but too bad I couldn't stay for the ride. Non the less looking forward to the next meet. Hopefully i'll be able to get to meet more of you.

[Mr Skid]

Don't be hard on yourself about your wheelies, it looked to me like you were bringing them up and putting them down smoothly.

I think if you carry on, you'll start to get some more height on them, and then will be able to balance them after that.

But regardless, it looked like you were enjoying yourself, and that's what matters.

Oh, and that burnout at the traffic lights was good for a laugh.

[Wonko]

You did it on an aproach to a roundabout while following Drunken monkey. Thought "Here we go" for a moment, but I was in other wheel track, and you recovered fine. Relax a bit more, and give yourself a bit more space in front of you and you'll be fine.

[FROSTY]

Hey guys John got home and told me what a good ride he just had.
it seems there were about 15 bikes on the ride including a father/son combination on a bandit 250 and a GSX1400 -
Good riding on the way out to the Fish and chip place at maraitai.
Aparently Aff man had a bit of a job catching up to John on his ancient XJ900
Bet ya diddnt know a pathetic 75hp beast could hussle so well aff man lol

Hey, bloody nice of ya to lend the xj to your brother as well as your son for the ride. Rather sporting of ya.

Tell ya what though, you're going to have to have a talk to baby bikie about not touching bits on the bike - John went past me at one point, and the little critter on the back must have been pushing down on the center stand, there were sparks everwhere!

[erik]

Shit Crashe that was my Fault. When we got to the first roundabout I did a head count and we had the correct number of bikes UM ya see we caught up with two blokes out for a ride on their own -I counted heads and got the correct number so carried on--Shit.
Baby bikie was asleep behind me so I came straight home ...

No worries Frosty, seeing as you weren't really there, it can't have been your fault eh? ;).
I don't mind too much getting left behind/lost anyway, I'm kinda used to it now... ;)

Anyway, it was a pleasant ride and was good to meet a few new people (sorry to those I didn't introduce myself to).

I've gotta admit, I was kinda hoping for more shenanigans, but it was fun anyway. Motoracer, you did some good rolling stoppies there :niceone:

[crashe]

Baaaaa 75hp that explains it hahahahaha. Hmmmm need to get some practice in... that was the first ride i have done in absolutley bloody ages. Oh well hopefully the next one will be on a 6 hundy . Wheelies under power here i come yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[bugjuice]

Shit.... that could be rather dangerous....
actually looked bloody good (not that it should be condoned. If Frosty was around.... tut tut..) but he wasn't, and the sparks looked cool in the evening dusk.. Next time, I'll have to be closer behind, see how cool that looks!

[avgas]

Yeah you dont have to worry bout me recovering, used to be a bit of a bike drifter on a Cafe' Racer, as long as i dont loose the front (on a corner), im usually sweet as.
Hey Frosty, lookie what i found:
XJ matey, its all good for more (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports-tourer/auction-21733820.htm)
Last few rides i was on, were teaching my mates how to ride, so the poor bike wasnt used to me (or vice versa), but was sweet comming home.

[FROSTY]

yea 75 to your 60 and 250kg to your 140kg --Im told john offered to swap and ya wouldnt have a bar of it lol
I wonder if Baby bike got his knee down on them corners

[aff-man]

Actually the zxr weighs 172kg dry. Anf i thought it was dave that must have been tony's other brother. Yeh he offered me a ride but when the bike weighs more than 4 times your weight and is more than 20 years old i don't think i want ro risk it hahahahahahahaha...... Of course if it had been a new 600...... well judgment call :rockon:

[avgas]

Ahhhhhhhh work. Just what i need, yeah right.
Did anyone on the ride have a radar going?
Dont look so flash for the dragwars either, hope it clears up.
If not then i have some fairings sitting in my shed that need a respray, so theres always something fun to do.
Mabey i should reincarnate one of the old XS850's for the next ride :headbang:

[blownae92]

Great ride...actually considered turning around at he 1st petrol stop due to the pace, but with a few words from Frosty decided to keep going....pity I could'nt ride back with the rest, due to time constraints....but good trip on the whole

:banana:

First Thursday of the month.
