But seriously, WOOT WOOT!!!

I'm on Waikanae Hill.

I'm pretty keen on these rides; whats the pace like? I'm on a VTR1000 however only just got the bike and only just got my full (in other words I'm really a learner legally on a big bike). I only own a bike for the purpose of weekend rides etc. How many people usually turn up?

One other thing that sucks is I ran the bike dry after only about 200ish kms!! Had to go door knocking for lawn mower gas to top up so I could get to a gas station.... <_<

Couldn't say for sure mate but from what ya read the thursday night rides can be rather quick (don't mean ya have to ride at that pace)
The wednesday night sounds more like a pootle over the hill or wherever it ends up going !

The pace is only as fast as you go mate, there is often 10 or 15 bikes there, and we all ride at different speed on the hill. Nothing too stupid any more, but the days of old were way beyond dangerous at the pointy end of the pack. Which is why it has a bit of a rep as us being a bunch of wankers on the road.

[Weaver]

Bloody wankers on yellow Hyosungs that can't ride for shit giving me a bad name.

[Jase W]

Hmm poker night this week. Will have to come out next week instead. Probably a good thing - i've been spending a lot of the money I don't have on fuel..... I love 2-strokes.

[Drew]

What, now that you ride an injected bike ya mean, and it wont backfire on demand?

Yeah, always well inside the law when you ride...(insert Tui bilboard here)

I'm bringin the smoker this week, come along so I dont get lonely.

[Fatjim]

They were accidents, I swear. Especially the ones near cops.

[Jase W]

Heh it does get pretty lonely at the front - this is the secret pain of all 2 stroke riders. Will have to sit this one out though, its my turn as designated driver this week. Bring it out next week too and I'll make sure I'm there.

Fuck girl, we don't mind smack talk down here. But I for one never partake in such silly nonsense.

[points]

Awesome,i'l be there unless it's pissing down. I live 30secs from avalon park so no excuses:2thumbsup

[GrayWolf]

Well looks like an ideal start to Thursday riding.... I'll fuell up, turn up and ride...... as long as I can fit the wheels to my zimmer frame :buggerd:

[Str8 Jacket]

Yes - we are all going to Station Cafe and Sports Bar (Station Village on Hutt Road).

Not that I have an agenda or anything.

[Jase W]

Of course it had to be a bloody brilliant day today!!!!! Grrr...

And it will rain next week when I can come out!!

[Drew]

Good wee burn up the hill, bit cold to go over to Featherston, or to the pub after for my liking.

Good turn out, great to see all that showed up.

The RGV goes bloody MINT, just gotta remember not to brake like it's a thou, and life will be sweet.

It was a good turn out.

BTW - your bike smells Drew. It made my eyes water.

[Weaver]

It was a great start for daylight savings. More wheelies I say

[quallman1234]

I'll be there next thursday.

Almost finished rebuilding my RG. Drew's turn next thursday too rebuild his 2 stroker?
If not there's gonna be some extra smoke in the air.

Drew's smoker runs very well indeed. I reckon it just needs some TTS or nice smelling oil.

Str8 Jacket provided entertainment at the pub.

And those Kransky's really hit the spot.

[dutchman49]

Hey Drew

Theres nothin wrong with an RF. Ask your old man he'll ride anything. I'm still sure I see that XJ900 around. I'm trying to get in contact with the old bastard. If you can help I would appreciate. Frankie Fuck Stick.

You're a bit of a bike whore yo' self there Frankie, I remember you on many a different bike, (and off one pr two aswell.)

The old boy is down in Dunedin, PM on it's way with the number I have for him.

Raspberry scented?

[GrayWolf]

Was an interesting ride...... maybe next time I will loose the training wheels?

On a serious note, the attitude was good, the fact the 'hoons' had a big fat arsed tourer tagging behind, (and an FJ1200) the group just allowed for the 'lesser' handling characteristics on the twisties. Thanks Guys (and Gal) :chase:

Horray for that man!!!

I had fun, mind you I couldnt see much from drews smoke and my front wheel in the way. :Punk:

Oh well better luck next Thurs.

[Maki]

Looks good for tomorrow, not as windy as today... I aim to be there.

[Deano]

bump bump bump

[Weaver]

I haven't opened my curtins yet, but apperently the weather is shit hot. Good for a ride up the hill.

[henry]

As long as the hail stops.

[sinfull]

Hail ? Shit ya kidding lol clear blue up the line here !

[henry]

I shit you not. Sunny now though.

[Nasty]

We just got back from up and over the takas .. they are resealing the bottom of the hill (UH side) ..but that should be operational by tonight .. beware of the slight lip between the two sides of the road.

Cheers for the heads up mate.

[Number One]

Too lazy and pissed off, have a nice ride - hopefully a nice day tomorrow as I don't work :lol: god I love that! Anyway :beer: time!

[Fatjim]

Well that was freaking cold. Had to stuff my hands up the missus top to warm them up when I got home.

[Jase W]

Bloody work.

[Maki]

Had a great time even though we had to turn back because of rain. It was nice to have a ride with experienced and enthusiastic bikers. It was worth it, just to have a look at all the nice bikes and see other kiwibikers. Thanks everyone.

[Deano]

Nice to meet you Maki.

Hopefully the weather will be a bit better next week. On the upside, the new seal at the bottom of the hill is super grippy.

[Weaver]

It was a good ride around the inlet. Nice and smooth. Got soaked on my ride home though

[henry]

Great turn out. Never seen so many bikes going no where. Shame we didn't make it over the top, it was quite nice to have the back sliding instead of the front for a change.

Some people on near new Italian v twins need to htfu though.

[Fatjim]

Mate, my rear end was sliding just like everyone elses and I was loving it, the front was rock solid. And it was the Italian il4 that pulled out first.

[henry]

I was talking about you bailing because of the cold. Probably a sensible move though. I was getting cramps round the inlet and it's was bloody freezing sat outside the pub

[henry]

Let me rephrase that... While riding around the inlet I got cramp in my hip. Made cornering a bit difficult.

[mattathm]

Slightly disorganised in my view....:doh:

when we turned around on the hill we should have regrouped and had a small discussion as to where and what we were gonna do to save all the split ups and riders going awol over upperhutt.


Had a good time tho ........

Harden the fuck up. It rained, we had no contingency plan was all.

From now on, if it rains half way to someplace, the contingent is...EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELF.

Given this new rule, the last ride went exactly to plan. :done:

Too long since the idea was put to the floor. MOTION DENIED

[Weaver]

How about
When the plan is changed by the front runners, as it was last night, then one of the said front runners is to yell the next destination at the rest of the group. The every man for himself rule then takes over.

That's what happened last night. So status quo then.

[Slingshot]

Which is why it has a bit of a rep as us being a bunch of wankers on the road.

Remember TRTNR where (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=536992&postcount=159) SH2 (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=537013&postcount=164) was (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=537077&postcount=171) blocked (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=537095&postcount=175) at Melling on the return trip? Ahhhhh...the good ol' days.

[jimbo600]

Since when did a plan have anything to do with TRTNR? Its always follow the guy in front. Or pass him. Or just go to the pub.

[koba]

Haha the first rule of TNR is fuck off with your rules!

[sinfull]

Awww hell did it rain haha ! Ok ok was a soft cock and never made the trip over to join yas' last night (opps night before last), but did anyone see the radar and realise the rain was ominous ?
Would have thought those who didn't want to go home would have headed to the pub and met up there when it turned to shit !
Any Kapiti coasters that wanna rattle me (procastinating) dags for next thurs night ? Please do !

[Fatjim]

Since when did a plan have anything to do with TRTNR? Its always follow the guy in front. Or pass him. Or just go to the pub.

I'm with you Jimbo.

And BTW Henry, the reason I shot off home early was I'd just bought a new bike, without ok'ing it first with the missus, and then went straight out on the TRTNR. I was fuckin lucky to get away with my balls in one piece as it was.

[KTBOOM]

Im in for Thursday ! only if its Raining tho :scooter:

Mate, I was joking. I'll just STFU in future and you can give me a good kicking on Thursday. That's if it's not raining, or too cold.

[Fatjim]

Don't worry mate, I didn't take it personally. As for kicking your arse.... fat chance.

[Deano]

Weather isn't looking too flash.

[KTBOOM]

Still I'm keen to give it a go!:2guns:

[henry]

Ill be there. Probably ride off in a completely random direction though.

It's sunny at the moment. Maybe we should go now.

[KTBOOM]

Done! was hoping someone would say that... what time? I can leave now!:Punk:

I'm going to flag tonight,weather looks rubbish.

Sorry would love to be there but cant make it.

Oh, the CFNR ?

I turned up.....waited about 10 minutes then Henry and Freakshow arrived, another 10 and KTBOOM turned up.

I thought better of it and came home to dinner and incidentally......a bottle of red.....must be a theme going LOL

I got wet on the way home as it was so before the three above get online and dis me and everyone else for woosing out, I hear it was pissing down in Upper Hutt and the hill must have been absolute shite. Not my cup of tea.

[henry]

Yep good ol Welly weather rooted it again. I might make it a cheeky Fri night ride instead.

What are you on about, it was an awesome ride. Freakshow, KTBOOM and I had a great time on the hill...

Nah, just kidding, it was fucking awful. We bailed at Rimutex. It was worth it for the glad eye from the lovely in the Holden Adventra though. Warmed me up nicely for the miserable ride home.

[Number One]

Cheers everyone :clap:

[KTBOOM]

Wet as good to see you guys Looks like wines the trend... Im off to Ponderosa for a JDs. Keen to go for a skid Friday night !

[flame]

Yep good ol Welly weather rooted it again. I might make it a cheeky Fri night ride instead.

Meh....just ride that beast up to Minefield tomorrow and play on the track :)

[dazz]

Been trying to make the thursday rides! dam clutch master cylinder! No one knows how to bleed one properly do they?

[Deano]

Have you tried pulling the clutch in just a little to allow air to come to the surface ?

Bleed as per usual ?

Drew will know - he's clever like that.

[Fatjim]

Well the Tuono has developed an oil leak and has been renamed the Aprilia Celica as "celica's all over the floor".

It's booked in at TSS for a look see on Thursday so I doubt it will be fixed in time. Plus the forecast is rain all week, so I doubt even the Met service can cock this forecast up.

[Drew]

Been trying to make the thursday rides! dam clutch master cylinder! No one knows how to bleed one properly do they?

Sure do mate, and the ZX7 can be a bitch, just ask Sugilite. A seal kit might be required, but I'm happy to have a look if wanna bring it over during the week.

[Deano]

Feck it. Another wet Thursday.

What are the chances of it clearing up (and roads drying out) by tonight ?

[Weaver]

At the moment it looks like the weather might be clearing in Upper Hutt. Would anyone be keen for a ride tonight if it can remain fine?

[henry]

I was there, where were you? There was no one at the duck pond so I shot up the hill and back. Pretty quiet except for the SEVEN cops I saw! Including one bike cop and a guy with a radar gun.

[Weaver]

No one replied on here so I assumed no one was interested. I went up the hill at around quarter to six. It was a great ride, but there where alot of trailers.

[points]

I had my bike in the shop on the dyno. And my computer got smashed the weekend before so I had no way of making it. Not liking the sound of the 7cops though.Do I sense us being targeted....:2guns:

[Fatjim]

Well the Tuono is Tuofo aagin this week. What was thought to be a Clutch cover gasket leak has turned out to be a dodgy water pump oil seal. Can't blame the mechanic as the weep hole is in a sod of a place.

Anyway, hopefully parts will be here Monday and we might be mobile by sometime next week.

Southerly forecast for Thursday and rain for Saturday so I'm not crying in my wheaties just yet.

You mean Craig?

He's a good friend of mine and a workmate.

I hear he's stable. His left femur was pretty much screwed and has just had his spleen removed.

I'll be visiting him tomorrow.

Yeah I had heard the same.

Good to see he is relatively ok, cause I saw a bit of what happened and it was a big off.

Glad to see he will recover. Could definitely have been worse.

I can't think of a more stoopid place for the car driver to do a u turn. That was just mental.

Please pass on my best wishes for a speedy recovery FlangemasterJ.

Will do Deano.

So what exactly happened? Which way was Craig traveling?

[Deano]

Will do Deano.

So what exactly happened? Which way was Craig traveling?

The car which u turned appeared to have come from the same direction as Craig (over the KG bridge), pulled into the road onto Harcourt Werry but then u turned back across the road in front of Craig who was then coming over the bridge.

Craig was coming from Kelson lights across the KGB.

[henry]

Pass on our best wishes from all of us.

[Fatjim]

Shit, thats no good. Hope the rest of you guys managed to lynch the driver.

Just checked his profile. Hows the bike?

[Deano]

Shit, thats no good. Hope the rest of you guys managed to lynch the driver.

Just checked his profile. Hows the bike?

By all accounts he was shitting himself with half a dozen bikers running toward the scene. Then again, he was lucky the impact was in the middle pillar rather than the driver's door or else he would have likely joined Craig in a visit to the hospital, or worse.

[Deano]

Ok -who added the Familia tag under my name - how did that happen ?

[Fatjim]

What exactly are you talking about?

[henry]

Not sure I want to go on any KB rides any more. Somebody got clobbered last night as well. Too bloody dangerous.

[driftn]

Its not the KB rides fault. Just need to either slow down or be aware of your suroundings.

[Deano]

What exactly are you talking about?

Someone added a tag - when I had a look it was in bold, indicating that I had written it, which I hadn't. I didn't think the tag was very appropriate either.

Looks like someone has added it from my computer while logged in, or they know my password.


Not sure I want to go on any KB rides any more. Somebody got clobbered last night as well. Too bloody dangerous.

Was it specifically because they were on a group ride that lead to the crash or some other factor ?

[henry]

Was it specifically because they were on a group ride that lead to the crash or some other factor ?

Dunno. I was just taking shit as per usual.

[Rev DJ]

Three made the corner - the following rider and TEC stopped to assist - must have been "some other factor" ?? DJ

So riding out side there comfort zone then.
Thats my 10 cents worth

[Deano]

Dunno. I was just taking shit as per usual.

I don't take shit from anyone :msn-wink:

I have been known to talk a bit though.

Anyhoo - lets hope the weather holds up.

I need to test my new bling out.

[henry]

So are we doing this thing? Let's do this thing...

[sinfull]

Towel anyone ?

Cool ride! and.....very NICE cop :D

Cool ride! and.....very NICE cop :D

Did you toss your hair as you removed you helmet?

Yeah if you didnt do that MINT wheelie down the middle of the traffic then he would not have bothered us. Wheelies are neither big nor clever vick you should know this by now.:yes:

Maturity counts more than both of those. If you're man enough NOT to ride outside your comfort zone then you'll be fine, but then that goes for any ride.

Awesome ride tonight. The ride back over the hill was the best for a long time. Just one black mark and that was stopping at the top on the way over. Heading down the hill on cold tires is more than my nerves care bare. If you guys can't go another 10 minutes without a fag then maybe we need to stop at Rimutex first. Or maybe I should take up smoking.

[Weaver]

I am not sure if I am posting it at the right place, but I know that Henry goes out on most Thursday nights to ride. To those who know Henry (Triumph Daytona 675), he has had an accident earlier today - @ Paekakariki whilst out with Steve. He is in the Wellington Hospital ICU and is suffering from serious injuries. He appears to be stable now - but he is very unwell.
Henry's told me all about the fun rides so I know some of you guys - although just through names. I am Henry's partner - should you wish to pass on any message - contact me. Edna Phillips 027 687 2969. I know I will be beside Henry's bed for the next few days .. or however long it takes.

Regards

Hi Edna, I have never met Henry but wish him a speedy recovery. Also take care of yourself :hug:

[flame]

Really saddened by the news Edna and Henry. Henry's a great guy and we will sure be missing him heaps while he's recovering. Wishing you a super speedy recovery matie! And Edna I hope to meet you soon, and make sure you take care of yourself too:hug:

[Holyshift]

As motorcylists we take the risk every time we hit the road but I do wish Henry a fast recovery fingers crossed we see him back on the road again....

I'm not sure if anyone will be out - I have a lot on at the moment so I doubt I will make it, but you never know.

[insomnia01]

Hello one & all,

I'm going to be down your guys way for a week or two from the 5/1/09 catching up with mates & family as I'm originally from Wellington, any objections for me to tag along on either the weds or thursday rides?? would be great to meet some more KB's

cheers

[Deano]

All good by us.

[Edna]

Hi Guys
I have been overwhelmed with all the messages I got for Henry since my last post. The text messages and phone calls were all appreciated. Thank you all for the kind words, and I have passed them all to Henry. I thought I'd give you an update:
Henry is now in the ICU of Christchurch Hospital. It will be days (probably a couple of weeks) before he gets transferred to Burwood. Please know that all messages are welcome; same number: Edna - 027 687 2969 . 021 78 22 15
Thank you for all your support.
Have fun but be careful out there. Regards, Edna & Henry.

[gixxer-king]

are with Henry. Again I myself haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting him but certainly hope to see Henry back on the road so I can. Its always a coin in that whenever a motorcyclist comes off or is involved in an accident it is a sad time and one of great concern for family and friends, the other side is the great coming together the motorcycling community shows and how belonging to a club of forum helps as no doubt every word of these kind messages helps the recovery process that little bit more.

Again get better quick mate and hopefully you get a chance to see this forum showing how many people are thinking of you.
Regards, Gixxer-King

Thanks for the kind words. The sad truth is I will have to work this evening. I had a great time on the Wedensday night ride yesterday though.

Enjoy your ride and be safe.

[Weaver]

No. The Thursday one you ride at your own pace. If your pace is considered fast, no ones going to lecture you about it.

[MD]

I think I owe someone on TRNTR an apology for my slightly dodgy overtake tonight. Probably Deano or atleast someone on a Repsol.

I fell into doing just what I bag others for doing, overtaking where bikes can approach quicker than cars towards you.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I startled you. It was NOT what I intended to do or where I would normally overtake. I was out for a gentle pootle tonight and was quite happy following that SUV up the hill with no intention of passing him on that spot, when all of a sudden the back passengers waved to me. I mistook it for a "go ahead you can pass us" wave. Hand signals were my weak subject at Scouts.

So I had to make pronto back to my side.

[RoadRacer04]

Awesome ride guys, nice meeting most of u. Looking forward to next weeek :clap: cant wait. Mite even see you saturday......

[flame]

Such a wicked night to go riding, stink I didn't go, good to see yas all at the P and J though :). Did anyone notice that HOT looking black Duc, the one ....you know...that one:innocent:?????
