[Danger]

Did this ride last year, one of the fastest trailrides around. I think I got the RM going the fastest it ever did in the turnip field.

[noobi]

what are the track(s) like, is it all really fast or is there some interesting bits in too?:banana:

[cheese]

If this is teh rdie I'm thinking of its primo. It was a bit dry last time and lumpy as hell.

[Danger]

Open farm land, lots of corners through different paddocks, lots of full throttle stuff. Makes a change from Woodhill at this time of year.

[Reckless]

Them full throttle rides always seem to bring lots of broken bones?? I like the tech stuff better. Still I might give it a go if there are a few going?

[4stroke]

im heading to this one, hope it rains to make a mud fest, was talking to greg at spectrum and hes taking the kx500 up hes gona blow the cobwebbs out.

[westie]

Think I'm booked in for this one. Already cant wait for it

[DELLORTO]

sounds good how much?

[xen]

Should be in for this, some high speed full throttle sounds sweetas, time to see how fast she can go :yes:

We will be leaving Te Atatu west auckland around 7:30am So can meet up with anyone who thinks there gonna get lost or just KBers in general who wanna meet up and drive in convoy.

Looks like its best to head up Highway 16 and go west before you reach Wellsford.

Shell Massey North/Westgate
Corner of Asti Lane and HW16 Hobsonville Road
7:30am for a 7:45 departure

Well I'm either doing this or the GNCC next weekend. Should we have a poll? let KB decide? LOL I can't! tempted to do the GNCC and have a race against Rupe and Aaron, but I'm going to Oz in a few weeks and I really don't want to hurt myself before hand.

I dont know where abouts in Tapora (follow the signage from Wellsford) but check this link to give you an idea. http://www.wises.co.nz/l/Auckland/Tapora/Run+Road/#c/2q8gs/72wkx/1/

[cheese]

Well I've decided to do teh GNCC instead. So I'll have to go next year.

[D dub]

Is this arrowed from Kaukapakapa up 16?

[Danger]

Perhaps not but as I recall last year the road to Tapora was sign posted last time and it was not hard to find.

[cheese]

Change of plans for me. I'll be there now and missing the GNCC. Should we all meet up before heading out then?

We are meeting CR125NZ & others at Shell Massey North (Asti Lane, Westgate), leave shell at 7:45am...Wises says 1hr 18mins drive time to Tapora so should arrive at 9:00.

[A&R]

Just don't fall off.

[4stroke]

well i had a good day, i think all that was there from off here had a good day to, fast, open tracks. was a good day.

[cheese]

Yeah is wasn't too bad. Very open and fast. the old CR has never gone that fast! Bit far out though!! Made the mistake of going home via Welsford, the traffic was nuts!

[LittleJohn]

Was awesum & fast & hard to keep front wheel on the ground. Blew some cobwebs out of the engine up until the clutch lever mechanism broke!! Had our boy there riding his LT50 around the mini track, he loved it.

[westie]

Great ride today. Loved those open ploughed paddocks with the burms.

That first expert section was pretty tough! Spent a little time in the creek:Oops:

[Hemex]

Yeah is wasn't too bad. Very open and fast. the old CR has never gone that fast! Bit far out though!! Made the mistake of going home via Welsford, the traffic was nuts!

yeah and thanks to your car my KXF went the fastest its ever been ...:laugh:
Good day... helped that it was dry and im getting used to how this sport feels.. Thanks for the ride mate... and Rupert too..:Punk:

[cheese]

LOL the second expert was teh worst one. there was a bog that was about a meter deep.... you should see ricks bike..... LOL aye Rupe!!!

[Hemex]

Yeah the ONLY 2 bikes which seemed to find some slush!! Reckless's KTM took Rupe for a dip..lol

[A&R]

LOL the second expert was teh worst one. there was a bog that was about a meter deep.... you should see ricks bike..... LOL aye Rupe!!!

Yeah I see you cleaned it then!!!:buggerd::oi-grr:

had a great day the kids all enjoyed it gr8 meet up.:2thumbsup
Was last to leave thanks to my second girl deciding to go on a final lap. ain't the fastest!!! as ricks son will agree to I think !:oi-grr:;)
Any nobody hurt so a pretty good day all round. Thanks to blackbuell and his almighty trailer for transporting all our bikes.

see ya all at the GNCC this saturday

[chop]

Good to hear you all had fun! there wasnt much room to put many expert sections in but we tryed!!! I put the real muddy bit in for something diff and seemed to work... Had a great day in the open for a change had to see how fast the husky goes, Bring on the belray!

[Blackbuell]

Had a great day,Highlight was watching Cheese & Rupe Mud Wrestling with what was a clean & shiny Ktm,ended up giving them a hand to get there bikes outa there,certainly was a fast track,would have been a interesting if it had rained,good to catch up with 4 stroke again,nice bike ya got,Has me thinking about a new toy!!!(sell a few first i think)see ya all at hopefully a Muddy Paparimu Ride.

[Atomic]

Yep good day, not the most exciting trail iv been on, we left about 1:00 when the novelty wore off. The berms would good, they closed the padock with the best berm halfway through though.

[Reckless]

I agree wuth Atomic not the most tech ride at all. But it was spot on for all the kids and beginners. Lots of CRF's and KDX types out there and you gotta have some rides for them as well.

Probably the type of trail where having a Ktm200 is at the biggest disadvantage but I shore didn't want to go any faster! It was like skipping across water waves blasting over those plowed fields!

Jeepers Rupe!! give you a perfectly good KTM and you can't handle it!
Just had to find the only bog there and dunk it in the mud didn't you!!!!

[cr125nz]

bugger wish i hadnt missed that ride by the sounds of things it was a good day of riding

[dmoney]

that was a good ride ride had a blast.
it was definately fast thats for sure certainly blew
the cobwebs out.

[cr125nz]

did any body get any pics of the days riding?

[Rupe]

Jeepers Rupe!! give you a perfectly good KTM and you can't handle it!
Just had to find the only bog there and dunk it in the mud didn't you!!!!

Yeah I thought I'd brought my first ktm when cheese sunk in mud over his boots to try to help me out of that bog! Still a bit of clever thinking with the logs over the bog helped. And the fact that it's ment for that sort of riding helped to get it over the stream and up the slippery bank.

[nonferrous]

really enjoyed the ride - fast top gear stuff - very smooth - could ride a lot on seat - thanks organisers

[D dub]

It was certainly the shortest trail ride lap that I have ever done at 11.5km and very fast even for me but my 6 year old had a blast on the kids track and even did to the shortcut on the main trail twice at the end of the day! ( once all the hero's had gone home so he didn't get roosted!! )

[Factoryjohn]

very fast even for me )

Yeah, but you're so fast you can meet yourself coming back the other way. Did you wear your new jacket?? beep beep

[Rupe]

just remembered, did anyone see superman at the end???

[cheese]

LOL that was funny!!! Thought it was Andy searching for his daughters and Ricks son.... that started some rumors!! LOL!!!

[westie]

That(superman) was a classic unprovoked display of funny embarhassment. Wonder if he was dared or lost a bet. Seemed pretty uncomfortable and reached straight for a beer after.

[Hemex]

just remembered, did anyone see superman at the end???

LOL... That was bloody hilarious... with his tube top superman tee...LOL... and the mini cape... stomach hanging out et al! :lol:


LOL that was funny!!! Thought it was Andy searching for his daughters and Ricks son.... that started some rumors!! LOL!!!

Cheese your comment had and still has me in splits... encompassed what everyone was thinking........:lol:

[Reckless]

Cheese your comment had and still has me in splits... encompassed what everyone was thinking...:

I wasn't thinking that and I'm certainly bloody sure Andy wasn't about his daughter!! I think that comment crossed the line there my boy!!:chase: :nono: :2guns:

[cheese]

I wasn't thinking that and I'm certainly bloody sure Andy wasn't about his daughter!! I think that comment crossed the line there my boy!!:chase: :nono: :2guns:


LOL yeah sorry guys that one was that one step too far..........

[Hemex]

I wasn't thinking that and I'm certainly bloody sure Andy wasn't about his daughter!! I think that comment crossed the line there my boy!!:chase: :nono: :2guns:

My initial post did have 'both the fathers may not have been too happy with that comment'... but thought I'd leave it out as it was a joke and there were no true intentions.. just good wit on cheese's part considering the talk prior to it...:niceone:

Respect your opinion rick... But hey, it was funny...:laugh:

[Reckless]

LOL yeah sorry guys that one was that one step too far..........

Actually mate I wouldn't have been aware of it at all had "the Heman" not opened his big mouth and posted it on a public forum. Those quips are funny but generally in the moment and between the few that are there. I imagine you might like to have a word with him for publicly putting you in it as well!!
Funny at the time, granted, but bad taste now!!

I'm the father of the bloke so I don't really mind at all from a guys perspective but I also have a 17 year old daughter so thats what got me going. I was feeling a bit sensitive for the girl side of the equation.
