Laxed out rides

[mister.koz]

I am not up with travel times, but i assume it will be about 1pm before we leave kawhia.

[Murray]

Yeah, thats probably about right Pirongia - Kawhia is not actually that long (prob about 45 mins- hour max) depending on speed. I will be having a coffee at Pirongia, the first one on the left had side coming from Hams does great coffee

[ckai]

That'll work. All we need is the weather to play ball.

[smoky]

when?? today or tomorrow. or next week

[mister.koz]

Hi All

Name is Kane and I have dropped off these boards for a few years now but I have just surfaced in Hamilton and am Back on 2 wheels!

Dont know many people down here so I was hoping I could tag along and meet some fellow Hamilton bikers!

I have been bikeless for a good stretch now so am re-learning riding so am no racer and happy to toodle along at a "laxed" pace

If I'm welcome then hope to see you all there in the morning!

Cheers

Kane

[mister.koz]

[ckai]

It has been confirmed that metservice is crap and I noticed they actually changed there forecast for today on Friday.

I'll see you lot in Pirongia. We should be there about 11:15 or so.

[Brooke]

Yeah I know. I thought it would look better if I "improved" on it instead - you never know when she's watching/reading. It also may give me some brownie points.

I think I'm on -5 at the moment :)

At least you know your place honey - he he ha ha. There's a good boy

[slofox]

Was that the "laxed out ride" I saw on Paterangi Road, just coming into Te Awamutu this morning? Due to inordinate demands from "significant others", I had to ride early this morning......I was heading back to Hammers by then.....and of course I had the worst of the weather......but oh well, a ride is a ride......

[tri boy]

Did the laxed out gig at Ham nth school car/bike show for a while.
Got dragged into the small bike display. (must wash scrambler sometime).

[mister.koz]

To those who missed out it was a great ride :) Weather was threatening for about 10 mins then perfect for the rest. Traffic was mild and the roads were good.

There was a mild panic and a pause when murry didn't show in kawhia, kane met up with him on the way out, apparently there was an accident and he stopped to help :s hope they are ok.

(cheerz kane)

[Brooke]

Thanks to all those who came today it was a great ride. Murray sorry you didn't get to come the rest of the way with us, but I hope all was well.

Sorry for holding you boys up, would be good to get some other newbies along so I don't feel like a granny.:yawn:

For you other lad's (and pillion lass) please add me as a friend (god that makes me sound desperate) as I don't know who you all are :yes:

[Spazm]

I really enjoyed the ride today and meeting you all.. I look forward to the next time i can make it out

Here's a picture of just the bikes.. Great color coordination skills going on.

[HACHET]

Awesome pic awesome ride dry roads good mix of riders i do need a skickier rear tyre after the few rear end slides on the way to kawhia though will see you all on the next one:done::done:

[SilentNinja]

Hey Tri

Don't leave the thread!

Looks like you would have had a good day at the school. I bet the kids loved seeing the bikes. Do you think you might be up for a ride one of these weekends?

[Mr. Rock]

yea i wanting to see some of these pics too!!

i think that the phone number exchange would be a good idea. haha.

great ride, enjoyed the windy sections coming to kawhia and having a good blast on the way back. nice to see some other 250s there!! thanks for showing up :) hope to see you all next weekend.

any one know any more info on the guy that bailed?

[Murray]

Hi Guys (and gals)
Great you enjoyed the ride out, its a good one eh!! basically what happened was coming up that first hill (the one with the 35km corner) 3 guys flew past me at a great rate of knots. about 20-30 seconds later I came round the corner at the top and the bike was in the ditch and the guy was flat on his back. We (me and 1 of the three riders) put him in the recovery position checked him over. Thought he had a broken leg at first but just really badly bruised. He had cuts on both arms , ruined his helmet and jacket and other than that was Ok. The other mate just continued racing all the way to Kawhia (you would have seen him hooning it on a yellow bike). So I stayed with the downed biker while the other guy went through to Kawhia to get their mate (some mate!!!). The bike and rider were in surprisingly good condition and shows that ending up in long grass and soft ground can save you. He estimated he was doing about 140km/hr around the corner and rimmed it. By my reckoning bike and rider went for 40-50 metres once going down. Still, all in all just glad the guys alive!!! David and Chrissie and the 1800cc beast showed up at the terapa tavern for a beer at about 4.00pm but had lost all you guys??? Catch you all next week maybe, if someone wants to organise a ride. And Brooke, I hear you did real well (You were ahead of me)

[Mr. Rock]

ouch.. lest no major injures.

i was picking my other half up from work mister.coz came back to hams wit me and the others shot off threw oto and back another way.

anyone got ideas for next sunday??

[Mr. Rock]

Sorry for holding you boys up, would be good to get some other newbies along so I don't feel like a granny.:yawn:


dont be hard on yourself i dont think you held us up at all..

[Murray]

Great photo, all thats missing is an old Honda. bugger!!!!! Bloody boy racers on two wheels!!!

[Spazm]

Thanks Murray.. Good to hear that the downed rider didn't hurt themselves too much and will be able to ride again soon (that's if they didn't ride it home).. Must admit we were very much relieved when Kane reported back that you (Murray) were safe and well too..

Brooke - You rode well, you didn't hold us up at all.. these are "laxed out" rides after all.. just ride to however you feel comfortable and try not to feel pressured in any way

[ckai]

Bloody good day out. Really enjoyed it. It was good staying on someone's wheel on the way back and worked out a few things. As you lot noticed, I don't have that many k's under that belt and it was real good way of clocking them up. Much more fun then going on solo missions.

Bloody good ride to Oto as well. Will definitely be doing that "block" a few times. Will most probably end up in Wellington, but hey, it'll be fun :)

All I have to do now is work out who's who on here so I know what bikes they ride.

[TerminalAddict]

is there another coming up this weekend?

I think McRides needs to represent ... :)
and I've been avoiding the Hamilton crew for a month or 3

[ckai]

Good to hear everyone is (reasonably) OK. The dude on the mello' yellow was hauling ass so I can imagine his mates would have been doing the same.

Appreciate the encourage towards Brooke as well. I was kinda thinking I was holding you lot up as well but thought if you wanted to pass you would have. I mentioned that to her but you know how woman are. :no:


anyone got ideas for next sunday??

I was trying to think of this as well. I drew a blank. Then again, I didn't know about the back road to Oto.

[TerminalAddict]

sh 22 for coffee at mercer?

Not sure what the road is like .. its been a while

or .. out past paddy's place, for coffee at bryces cafe

[ckai]

I heard about this 22. Would probably go off with a bang! :dodge:

I know, I know - very bad. It's been a long morning.

[wysper]

Yep there will be another one. We are open to suggestions.

Paddy - have you got some more good ones?

Hopefully I will make it this weekend!

[SilentNinja]

Anyone down for the Coromandle loop, its a bit bigger than most rides, but well worth it, and plenty of stops and cafes :), just an idea???

[mister.koz]

How far is the coro loop?

[TerminalAddict]

400 kms .................

[Murray]

Personally think the Coro loop should wait until a better guarantee of good weather and make a big day of it. Breakfast etc etc beers afterwards.

I think we should be looking at route 22 (I think). Is that the one that continues up to Port Waikato??? Its a good twisty run with not too much traffic.And you can take the road out to Raglan turn up Waingaro way and through nike (or some name like that) Not sure if as mentioned above that the road goes into mercer??

[mister.koz]

400 kms .................

crikey, thats quite a trip!

Sounds good murray :)

I am really keen on doing the breakfast thing aye... the more i think about hashbrowns and bacon before a ride, the more it just seems to go well!

Is it still an option?
Who's interested?

[wysper]

This could be a good one. Lets see what everyone thinks.

Which way would you come back?

[Murray]

?? I don't know, havent really looked at it. I think the idea was proposed by Mr Terminal Addict earlier and he mentioned Mercer. I have done the road (by cage) from Bombays to Port Waikato and back down through to Ngawahahia but cannot remember a road off it through to Mercer. Will have to do some map searches. Yes can do breakfasts for $10 for "laxed out ride members" on the Sunday mornings but would have to let me know numbers and 9.45ish at the latest.

[Quasievil]

Can you arrive by car and have breakfast ?

PS my better half thinks its stink having no road bike, she says I should get one.................oh what to do ?
and what would I get anyway, adventure , sports, touring ?

fuck to hard ................so what about the breakfast then :niceone:

[slofox]

but cannot remember a road off it through to Mercer.

"Mercer Ferry Road" cuts back to Mercer from 22......

[ckai]

I see your logic Murray with the loop and reckon a full-day thing with beers after would be a goer. But the weather, like you said, would have to be a guarantee. We'll be able to do something like that in about 2 weeks time when the actual ankle biters go.

I know Brooke mentioned Port Waikato the other day and it's one of the few places in NZ I haven't been so I would be keen for that.

Brekky would make it even better.

mmmmmmm hash browns mmmmmmmmm:drool:

[TerminalAddict]

SH22 from mercer ferry road to port waikato is pretty dull ..
Turn off towards mercer and stop for gas/coffee/smokes etc ;)

route back could be down SH1 .. turn east at Te Kauwhata, head down Waerenga road, south down waikare road towards orini, then join up to gordonton road, back to Hamilton

EDIT: if you decide to go all the way up 22 to port waikato, then pukekohe, you MUST stop for gas at bombay .. especially if you have thirsty triumphs amongst you ;) ..

but then you are stuck with SH1 return for some time ... if it is truly a "laxed" out ride then Mrs TA may come along (assuming it is not run on Saturdays . .when she sells motorbikes for a living ;) )

The better option I would think is reverse the route ... a pootle through north waikato, heading towards sh27, then on to bombay. Stop for food/drinks/smokes/sex/whatever . .then head down SH22 .. at least that way if smoky comes along he can save his hooning for the trip home :P

[Murray]

"Mercer Ferry Road" cuts back to Mercer from 22......

Is it sealed???, can only find a squiggly blue line on google maps. Mr addicts route back maybe the go. Not on SH1 for to long. Once someone makes a firm decision on the route, happy to do the breakfast and meet at the Kingsgate 9.30- 10.30. $10 breakfasts. Mr Quasi you are more than welcome. bring some off your gloves along so we can have alook (and the ones you will now have on special) Fat finger sizes please

[TerminalAddict]

all roads around there are sealed

[mister.koz]

mmmmmmm hash browns mmmmmmmmm:drool:

With you there dude!


all roads around there are sealed

I like this plan :)

Quasi, just go and buy a bike aye :done:

if you cut through Pukekawa this will bring you into Mercer,

[PaddyFZ1]

Good to see so many people out again, had a great day out, with a very spirited trip back from Kawhia.
A ride north sounds good.
Im still working on a route south around Oto, trying to get it up around the 220-250 km mark. With only minimal main road usage. Will probably have to write up some directions as there will be a few turns along the way.
Not too many twisties, those that followed me on sunday have seen most of them, but there will be plenty of sweeping curves on back country roads.

[Brooke]

Thanks Spazm ;) (Can you tell by all my post at the end so far that I can only get on the puter after work - damb banks bloking the net :Police: )

I am keen for another trip, had such a blast yesterday couldn't stop thinking about it today. I'll give anything a go twice (how else do you think Cameron married me - na just jokes - kinda he he) but for those of you coming, just remember I'll be tinkering at the back taking my own time (just those damb corners I can't see around I don't like) Maybe I'll pair up with the cruiser (Mr White Knuckles :bleh: )

[SilentNinja]

fair enough, the coro loop is rather long, im just hoping for a sunny dry weekend haha, me n my dad might do it sunday if the weather permits.
Port waikato is a nice ride, i like it anyway, just stay away from the highway and main roads....

[Sidewinder]

yea we chould do a coro loop maybe at xmas or new years but then the roads will be busy.

kawiha to waitomo is a great ride for the fast rider and a good view for the more curzer rider.

[HACHET]

Hey all as everybody has said it was a good ride yesterday, it was good to get to know all a bit better and have so many different levels of riders abilities i cant ride for shit so good to see everyone made it back ok.where ever the ride is on sunday i will do my best to be there. i did the coro loop early this year in awesome weather huge fun with lots of different style of roads but i agree wait till weather is better and make a day of it, last time we started at 9.30am and got home at 6 hard day but smiles per hour all the way.:Punk:

yea last time i did the loop warr crashed so it didnt go so well

[Squid]

Sounds like you's had a blast on the weekend! Would have loved to joing you but the snow and my board was calling rather loudly..... :rolleyes:

Next sunday sounds to be a go from what I've been reading :clap: Just to add to the mix... down south-ish waikato theres some v nice rides, for some reason I havnt done a whole lot of riding up past huntly ay. Change is good though

[Murray]

route back could be down SH1 .. turn east at Te Kauwhata, head down Waerenga road, south down waikare road towards orini, then join up to gordonton road, back to Hamilton

I think the "better option" maybe the go. Head off Gordonton road up the east side of SH1. Means we are on SH1 from Te Kauwhata to Bombays service centre but if we ride as a group at the legal speed limit there is safety in numbers. Then back down SH22. Those that may want to go out to Port Waikato could split off??? and depending on distance is whether ro head down to Raglan or cut back in at ngarwahia and back into town via river road.

Any yea's or neigh's??? Weather forecast is showers but that means jack-shit

[Mr. Rock]

i thinks the sh22, port waikato or rags what ever the route was you said sounds good. ive heard good things about that road.

yeh from me.. im keen. and in for breakie for $10 :)

[mister.koz]

Sounds like a good plan guys :) lookin forward to the coro loop when the weather is good.

I am definately in for breakfast this sunday!

go the sunday rides :rockon:

[Murray]

OK. Working on Mr Terminal Addicts wisdom I have done the google maps thing and come up with the following.

meet Kingsgate carpark 10.30 am Sunday 9th Nov. Those who want $10 buffet breakfast 9.40ish.

The route: North along Gordonton Road, turn right Orini Rd, left at Rutherford rd, left at Tahuna rd, right Waiterimu rd, left Waikare rd, left Waerenga rd, through TeKauwhata. Up SH1 as group and either stop Pokeno and back via Pokeno rd, Wangarata rd, River rd(SH22) or Bombays and back Mill rd, Harrisville rd, through Tuakau (george street and onto River rd (SH22). At Waingaro turnoff either on to Raglan or through to Ngrawahia. Anyone wanting to head to Port Waikato speak up (but its a there and back type of road)

I hope all the roads are sealed!!! Mr Addict maybe able to elaborate

If all Ok can one of you calendar masters put it up. Ride dependent on weather and decision up to the individual on the day. Yes'es for breakfast please pm murray

[ckai]

Sounds good. Since I haven't been to Port Waikato, I may go for a blat just to tick it off the list.

Although I know some of those roads, I think I'll be sitting behind on this one.

:Offtopic:

Would have loved to joing you but the snow and my board was calling rather loudly.....

What was it like Squid? I hung up the board last weekend after the wind and the crowd.
Most probably in for the brekky but Murray, I'll let you know by tonight/tomorrow.

I seem to be going through that phase too. Not trusting corners/roads I don't know. Same as all I suppose, ride the road a couple of times and then sweet. So maybe you will be waiting for me

nah mate if you cant see around it your right in not trusting it, ride it like there is a tractor parked on your exit.
With other corners just keep chasing that point between the inside road line and the outside road line (in your lane) the closer those two lines are the tighter the corner, the further apart the faster the corner.......................get it ??

if in doubt dont be going in to fast, ulitmate rule of thumb, slow in fast out.
go slow and work your pace up, get your lines and body positions soughted as well as the gear and braking work, get that all smooth, speed comes later (pref on the track)

[mister.koz]

I gotta agree with quasi on that one, if you can't see then tractor.

[insomnia01]

hi all,

Did a lap in the weekend I thought you guys & girls may wish to look at one day.

Headed out from Te awamutu along SH3 all the way down to Mokau stoppedthere for coffee & munchies:clap: came back the same way, but got me a boogie on through the Awakino gorge turned off at Piopio headed up into Mairoa & Oparure down into Waitomo stoped for more coffe at the Huhu cafe then out towards Te anga, SH 31 then 39 crossed over to Te kawa onto Wharepuhunga rd followed this all the way to Mangatutu rd headed towards Paewhenua onto Otewa road back way into Otorohanga back onto SH39 headed towards Pirongia short detour through Bird rd & home:niceone:

Total kms @ 400+

there are many ways you can cross over,plenty of twisties for those who wish to get a boogie on & also plenty of fuel stops well within reach for those who don't have large fuel capacity.

I know SH3 may put you off but it's short lived & a nice way to allow those that have had a Murray breakie to digest it properly before letting go :devil2: :bleh:

[insomnia01]

Sounds champion :) something to work towards, i think a 5+ hour ride would be a bit much for me in the RR seating arrangement !

Stop your whinging. Cut your legs off at the knee and move along. Bloody Kwaka riders...

The problem is...it's gonna get worse, what with him adding more of the boogey colour to it. There is a limit us mere mortals can handle. :sick:

Quasi is right . .the lake road is sweet ..

All roads are sealed.

if people want to do the quickie out to port waikato, then stop at bombays.

Mrs TA ain't going anywhere .. shoulder vs horse .. shoulder 0, horse 1

Quasi: have you really not got a road bike now eh? .. what happened to the adv thing?

touché. I always love being able to use that word. No doubt I'm probably using it completely wrong.

You, me, 6R vs GT any day buddy! (economy run that is haha. I get speed wobbles over 50km/h). I am just jealous though ;)

Agree with the lake rd being good also (if it's that one I'm thinking off). Never done it on 2 wheels though, only 4, so it can only be better.

[insomnia01]

Sounds champion :) something to work towards, i think a 5+ hour ride would be a bit much for me in the RR seating arrangement !

Bugger !!

seriously, there are heaps of opportunities to have a break & not being that far from either Oto or TK there options for a refreshment break for ice cream etc...:love:

[Quasievil]

Quasi: have you really not got a road bike now eh? .. what happened to the adv thing?

nah sold it, I just race now but I would like to get another road bike, not sure what though, adventure or sport, will wait n see, would love to get out on some of these rides though.

Icecream always helps :)

This is why they need to get off KB and come to the real website for bikers,(sorry terminal thats Sportsbike.co.nz) that way the nominated member Murry, Mister Kroz whoever can be a moderator and therefore prune out the crap and modify etc your very own forum with your own settings to do what you want.
its free people:yes:

Well that's a bugger then isn't it. Maybe I should have just put that if it's raining I'm too scared to ride my bike coz I'm a pussy and need to HTFU??? :laugh:

[Brooke]

well lads (and ladesses) I may no longer be able to join the ride on Sunday :argh:
We have 5 puppies to find a home for (ready this weekend to go to homes) and have some people wanting me to take them to Tauranga (they are from up norf) so I'll have to go over there.
Might be able to come and join you for part of the way and then mosey on home maybe. :crybaby:

But I am sure Ckai will join you
:angry2::crybaby::bash:

Last weekend was my daughters birthday - this weekend it is my wifes. Not sure I should risk her wrath by riding this one :Oops::whistle:

I will make one eventually LOL

Shit they're dropping like flys!

Should I be worried when the missus wants to tell me something she refers to her "post on page 24 of Waikato Laxxed Rides"?????:confused:

Obviously, if this didn't exist I wouldn't know what my wife was doing! And I live with her WTF!!!

Hey All, Shall we postpone to the following Sunday as the AllBlacks play at 6.45 Sunday morning and I have to work to after midnight Saturday night so not sure what condition I will be in.!!! If we do, can you change the calendar Mr Koz and sounds like we go to the Bombays then Port Waikato then back SH22. Also could you add/amend after "left Tahuna Rd" should be "turn right Waiterimu rd" (for some reason this vanished from the original post). I estimate ride could be approx 300 kms so good weather would be great and longterm forecast for 16th is looking very good.

[ckai]

To be honest, I could be into that. In saying that though, I was really holding out for hashies :drool:

[Mr. Rock]

well if there will be next to know one coming then it could be a very good idea.. would give me a chance to clean my garage and get my workshop workable.

[Mr. Rock]

but in saying that if there is a different route and a couple of people who are in for sunday ill probily just ride.

[mister.koz]

Alrighty then i can change the calendar thing anyone in argument of changing the appointment?

Will change the route when i change the appt if everyones happy :)

[Murray]

Looks like no complaints so lets move it!!! maybe edit the one for this Sunday and put a note in it to say its postponed a week and sign up for a good long ride on the 16th, so anyone looking will be aware of the 16th ride. I'm already looking forward to the route suggested as Ive not done those roads up to Bombays before and SH22 was ages ago but I remember how twisty it was.

[HACHET]

im happy to postpone untill the next sunday as i need to look after the kids this weekend and if the brekkie is still on for $10 im in

[insomnia01]

looks like their dropping like flys alright...:Oi:

I'm still going for a ride this sunday 9/11 weather is looking good:2thumbsup

so if you are into a mystery ride post reply here :banana:

[mister.koz]

Sweet, changed the calendar thingy

cheerz

[Murray]

Sweet, changed the calendar thingy

cheerz

Not being picky or anything but the calendar entry on the 16th says date of ride 8th November and do you think maybe that we should put a calendar entry in for the 8th which just states postponed to 16th please sign up for that ride (or something like that) Cheers

Hope you and Brooke have a good time in Tauranga!!!!;);)

Sounds like a plan to me Murray but I am Bias coz that then means I should be able to come - whoop whoop:woohoo:

[Murray]

Like the idea of going to port waikato :)

-- ouch on the shoulder --

Good morning Mr Koz, its always a fine day when you wake up. I think Port Waikato seems a go, so should we finalise the route for the calendar. Probably best is the Bombays way (big petrol station, more food outlets, toilets etc) and then the turn of to Port Waikato is off River Rd (SH22). I estimate there and back is approx 60km so I would suggest that when we head back down SH22 we go Waingaro - Ngarawahia and back (petrol etc etc). Probably a trip of about 330 kms

cheers

[mister.koz]

No worries, i am a little jumbled up as to where the amendment goes, want to just paste in the whole route?

Cheerz

[Murray]

No worries, i am a little jumbled up as to where the amendment goes, want to just paste in the whole route?

Cheerz

I don't think I can do it on the calendar as you loaded it and I think only you can edit it. But if you take the reference to Pokeno out and then edit the bit after heading out of Bombays etc etc when you get to SH22 (river Road) you turn right to Port Waikato

I can repost the whole thing if you want or perhaps edit the post

cheers

[Murray]

meet Kingsgate carpark 10.30 am Sunday 16th Nov. Those who want $10 buffet breakfast 9.40ish.

The route: North along Gordonton Road, turn right Orini Rd, left at Rutherford rd, left at Tahuna rd, right Waiterimu rd (meet at this intersection), left Waikare rd, left Waerenga rd, through TeKauwhata (meet up). Up SH1 as group to Bombay Service Centre (Petrol food etc) and back Mill rd, Harrisville rd, through Tuakau (george street and onto River rd (SH22) Right to Port Waikato and back. Down SH22 to Waingaro turnoff and through to Ngarawahia.

Updated correctly I think??? Sounds good, looking forward to the lake road
cheers

[Squid]

Yeah postponeing sounds like a grand idea. Possible somthing to do with the snow board again :whistle:

Anyone think they will head out anyways?

[Spazm]

I'll probably be keen for a ride this Sunday.. Find some new roads or old ones.

Nothing exciting otherwise everybody else will feel left out. :rolleyes:

[PaddyFZ1]

There's always one smart ass who rubs it in! You could have just said I'll be unavaliable but noooo. "Work"? Sure. haha

We expect duty free too. ;) If it's work, they can pay for it.

[Mr. Rock]

[Murray]

[The Flux Capacita]

[scracha]

FFS. Beautiful sunny day. Anyone actually riding or are you's all "cleaning out the garage, taking kids to footie, etc etc"?

[jmk]

So who went today for a ride, saw 4 or 5 bikes just down by the base and wondered if it was anyone from here. Thought we might come and join in the ride next Sunday :-)

Didn't make it for a ride today but would have liked to. Wasn't very happy when we were coming from Tauranga though and pulled over for three bikers (we were in our Car aka "cage") we were nice and gave them heaps of room to pass us and only the last one acknowledged us. Pricks. Then another two bikers passes us later on and we didn't the same and still no acknowledgment, that just gives us bikers bad names :girlfight: hope they weren't KBers!

Here's hoping to see some of you next weekend for a ride. :headbang:

[jmk]

Whether Im in the car or bike I like to acknowledge drivers that are courteous to us

[jmk]

Oh a message for you Mister Koz - know your mate John very well ;-)

[SilentNinja]

Hello Hamilton KBer's

Was a great day for a ride, so me and fellow KBer "Rideon" (aka Dad) went for a ride. Dads always wanted to take me on the coromandel loop, so we did it,!!!!

Two stops, one in Whangamata for coffee, and then over the few hills to Coromandel for lunch, (highly recommend the BBQ pork ribs, from Pepper Tree).
then a nice pace over the last two hills, then down the Thames coast, where overtaking becomes a nice challenge for my ninja, but still very easy in the right spots.

Plenty of twisties, long straights, hills, cafes, traffic, everything a good ride should have, left at 8:30am, and got back around 5:30pm.

Heres a link to the loop we did:
http://www.motowhere.com/maps/route/Big-Coromandel-loop

Great day out, maybe look at doing this as a nice long day trip with the Laxed out riders.

[ckai]

barbee sounds beludy marveelus. Of course I myself can't confirm until I'm given the all clear.

So it sounds like bugger all of us took our bikes on in the weekend?!? And it was a pearla. Here's hoping it's better for this weekend what with how many people are confirmed already. Should be good. Might have to give the bikes their birthdays to keep up with Munta shinning up his ;)

Hoping for last sunday's weather minus the gusty wind.. that would rock!

[slofox]

With any luck I will join you all Sunday next...but have a dance comp the night before which could mean a very late night if they fart around as is sometimes the case....but if I am half alert I will be there.......
I did ride yesterday - alone as usual - went down 39 to Otorohanga, back to Te Awamutu via Ouruwhero/Pokuru Road, south to Kihikihi, East through Parawera and beyond and then back North through Horahora, Maungatautari, Leamington etc.....then a quick afternoon fang on the Northern part of 39......
And for today's ride, see http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=85915

[wysper]

I should be all good for this weekend. I will pop my name up on the list when I am sure.
I won't be there for brekkie and I am not sure about the BBQ either. But an awesome offer from M109R

As for washing your bike... pffft... rather be riding it!

[jmk]

Yay, a bike older than mine!!!! Thats if you do have a GS850 1981?????

Heck, count me in for Sunday. Was heading to work on Saturday and couldn't believe the amount of bikes I saw between TA and Ohaupo even, would have been a pearler day for it, was so envious!

We'll have to get the grandparents to feed the puppies this sunday then seeing as it looks likes an all day'er. :2thumbsup

i remember the last one...
you need a sober rider?

[Mr. Rock]

As for washing your bike... pffft... rather be riding it!

haha thanks... im trying to get a bit more speed out of her, thought if i cut back the drag coefficient i could go faster..


maybe not.

[Murray]

So hear begin my concerns....I have been on heaps of rides, some small, some large. But recently I have sat up and taken notice of how people ride in groups. And people ride badly!! I mean really badly!!

My first real eye opener was on the ‘Ride Against Violence’ (Auckland 7 Sep), there was a large amount of people there who simply did not have a clue about riding safely in large groups. The latest Auckland WIMA ride, saw more dangerous riding again and most recently the Boulevard Cruiser ride this Sunday took the cake. Some of the riders in that group were happy to travel on the motorway, at 100kph, 1-2 metres directly behind another bike, is it just me or is that really stupid? I have seen plenty of people jumping into staggered formation riding, causing some serious consternation and pissing off a few riders too.

Come on people, riding in groups is something we all need to learn, read up about it here: Ride Forever (http://www.rideforever.co.nz/road_awareness/group_riding.html)

Staggered Riding is explained as:
The minimum recommended spacing to the bike directly in front of you should not be less than two seconds (the two second rule). The bike in the lane to your left or right should not be less than one second ahead of you. You will find that two seconds is a long distance when riding at highway speeds. That is, it's a long distance when everything is going well. Unfortunately, when things go wrong, two seconds distance is gone in the time it takes to realize you are in trouble. The two second rule is a rule of thumb you should try to adhere to whenever possible. Especially at highway speeds. There are times, however, when it is best to squeeze together - while on city streets and slowing for a stop. This will help prevent cars from entering the group.

Riders, staggered riding!! Get used to it and ride to it!! Please!! This is also my life and my bike at risk as well as yours and the other road users around you.

People who are organising rides, please make sure you tell everyone about staggered riding before you leave, even if people do know how to ride in groups, reiterate it over and over, it only takes one person in a group to bugger it up for all of us.
:calm:

Since this group was originally put together in response to Munta looking for new riders with 250's etc and an opportunity to learn and ride with people and not get involved in a race I thought this posting may be of interest to those new to riding and group riding. Note we now have 13 registered for Sunday!!!!

Its always the destination thats important not how fast we get there!!!!

Cheers and hope to see some for breakfast at 9.30 Sunday, if you havent the munchies 10.30 Sunday. Looks like a great route!!

[mister.koz]

haha thanks... im trying to get a bit more speed out of her, thought if i cut back the drag coefficient i could go faster..


maybe not.

My workmate opened up the air intake and used an elbow of pvc pipe for forced induction :) that worked nicely!

Besides i reckon treat the bike right and it will treat you the same.


Will hopefully be joining the sunday ride, bikes had its first service and is ready to go!!!
Count me in on the BBQ mister.koz if thats alright, it will be nice to meet some of the hamilton crew.

Sweet, noted.

[ckai]

Good reminder Murray. Brooke and I took the brother-in-law for a ride the other day and noticed he was following directly behind me. We stopped and we gave him the low-down on riding staggered. It actually made it better to ride since I could see what everyone else was doing behind me.

It's interesting really. I thought he would have known about it since it's a question for the learner test and he had only just sat it a week before!

I don't drink anything when I drive so I think I will head back to hams, pick up the car with my lovely sober driver and head back to the BBQ. Anyone else thinking of doing the same see me on Sunday as we will have space to take 3 passengers with us.

[Mr. Rock]

Top shelf will be fine munta.

They use the same source numbers an slightly different upper-air algorithms :) and they re-calculate daily so the results get more refined as it goes along.

Of course predicting the weather is allot like hearding cats at times.

Thats right!! it will be. But yea if you're going to do a sun-dance, dont do it in public.....

Thats alright. He doesn't understand it either. He just likes using really big words.
Just like on star trek. The more long complicated words they use. The more dire the circumstances.

eg. The biothermal transient decatricode system is reaching failure point.

Rather than the thermometer doesn't work.

Trust me, Sunday is going to be perfect riding weather. Slightly cooler then it is now with some cloud so we don't get "biker burn" (scorching sun burning through leathers).

Message from Dave (coz hes too lazy to use his lol)

He went on the road Bombay to Nga which it seems is planned for sunday. He wanted to say that.....

He took the new black beast out for a blat and found the road to be very good cept for a few road works and sticky tar. Thought it would be great for learning on :P It was only 100km but it took him awhile, and he had a sore arse.

Oh and theres still road works heading into Nga but they not too bad.

pants wise i have recently got myself a pair of strada pants they are comfortable have reasonable armour and removable linings i think i paid about $120 for them good value. boots wise i have had a pair of sidi race boots for about 2 yrs comfy on bike and walking and also steel plate in the sole to help prevent crushing. but the choice is yours so choose carefully

Ohh and im shopping for gear tomorrow(boots and pants) does anyone have any ideas what brands to stay away from and which ones are good ??

Cool mate. Hey was that you I saw riding down Victoria Street this morning?

In terms of gear, have found Boyds have the best selection, Waikato Yamaha second. Hope you find some good stuff. I'm still looking for pants too.

We got our pants from Boyds when they had a brilliant sale few months ago dont ask what brand cause I cant remember but definitely a sale worth going too

And how do you change things on here like profile sayings etc and L Plate rider

thats related to your post count. Will change as you post more. And then when you get to a certain amount of posts with a positive rep you can change it to what ever you like. Check out the FAQ (linked at the top of the page)

Hi SL, dont get boots off a chap up in mercer, Lifestyle imports. There OK for the street but wouldnt want them on the track ay. Boyds are good, I've found that the guys at Waikato Yamaha are more helpful though. (even to a guy on a suzuki...)

You get what you pay for though..... really cheep usally = Crap

[SilentNinja]

Cool mate. Hey was that you I saw riding down Victoria Street this morning?

Yep probably me, not too many blue ninjas in hamilton haha.

Cheers ill be looking at most shops tomorrow for the best deal.
Im excited to have all my own gear finally haha

Yer as always with anything price reflects quality, but for my first set im not too fussed on it, anything is better than my skater shoes i did the coro loop with haha woops

[Squid]

Yeeeeh thts V true!!!! Rick I think his name is, madmax5 is his trademe name. I got me jacket and leather pants off Him and there sweet (work in crashes too) just the boots.....

IMO the boots that have a extra armored bit on the part of you ankle what sticks out are good. for sliding that is.

What have the rest of you found/think?

[SilentNinja]

Is this a good brand and nice pair of boots?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Helmets-clothing-footwear/Boots/auction-186498180.htm

Quasimoto is the bomb... good prices, all good quality gear had me leather pants for a couple of years now & you would'nt know. You can check out before buying etc,etc.... worth looking into at least

[jmk]

Boyds sometimes have a good special on trademe

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=2096016

[Squid]

Yeah Quasi's a good one for gear and in Hamltn which is a bonus. Them Leather pants are what I've got, the knee sliders are abit on the thin side but can always get new ones. Leather is "fitting" its true cant wear your baggy jeans under them :whistle:

[ckai]

i thought red dwarf was the dogs b***ocks myself

See, I always get confused with you brits'. Does this mean it was good?

I know I was given an Engwish lesson from a mate, but he has since left for a few months so I need a refresher. :)

shit.. i am old

OK so, the Dr I can remember, the first 2 I've heard of (which is scary in itself), but Ark II...?????

SilentNight, :) Those boots look alright. I think I was looking at the same ones. I always got the impression that Exustar was alright. Similar to his cousin Alpine but doesn't doesn't have quite the family jewels. They've got all the right stuff too so you can slide around corners on your toes.

A mate suggested to me to attach the toe sliders with a file so it looks like you "get your lean on". But he was a Pom so I never took advice from him. :banana:

[Mr. Rock]

from what ive found with boyds if your not careful and a learner rider or not up with how to know what gear you need boyds will bend you over and take you for a ride.. also they give discounts so much because all there gear is marked up way more than any other bike shop.. i have found the new honda hamilton to be awesome, got my teknic freeway jacket and matching pants for 500. RRP on jacket was 550 to start. also the gloves i have were priced at about 200 at boyds and when i went to honda hamilton they were on the shelf for 170 and i have seen this with the majority of stock at boyds.

so personally i will never go back to boyds.

Hello guys and gals,

If all is well on sunday and things go right, im speaking on behalf on my dad (Rideon) he and his partner will be joining us all on sunday for the ride and possibly the BBQ.


get him to register and are you brekkieing. I've left a message with Quasi asking if he wants to come down on Sunday and introduce himself and maybe some of his gear. I know I'm looking for new gloves!!

[Quasievil]

Hiya Guys

Good to read a few of you are looking for gear, yes I agree its a nightmare trying to get it right, right fit, right spec, right price.

Murry has invited me to come along on Sunday to have a little bit of a gear display, Unfortunetly Im away on sunday I have an engagement with a Ducati 1098 which I need to keep :bleh:

however here is what I want to do for you guys

1/ I will leave a little bit of gear with Murry tomorrow so you can see the quality etc so you can discuss it freely, I will repeat the excercise on the next event so you can all grill me, I will also bring along some new cool stuff to show you.

3/ We are available anytime for visitors to look at gear after hours is no problem, contact me on 0275 430329 (Text will ring back) or 07 8550784

2/ A reasonable range of gear is now available at Supacross cycles also (just down from boyds), jackets pants gloves etc

Now anything that you guys buy from me (direct) for the rest of the month I will give you a 10% discount even if the item is on special !!!!

[WhatThe???]

Damn! That is tempting! I have a decent jacket and most other stuff, but I was thinking about getting some good leather pants. I was going to get them before the cold weather next year, but I am a sucker for a good sale! I might have to pop down and take a look at your stock.

I have also been thinking about coming down for one of these rides - next couple of weekends don't really suit, but with the nice weather I am bound to make it at some point. I do visit the Waikato quite often anyway (family is down there, I was born in Matamata, etc.) so I am not opposed to a ride down to Hamilton followed by a ride around some great Waikato roads.

[mister.koz]

Ps guys i got my racer 9 2 piece suit and always wear it on the sunday rides any questions feel free to ask :)

If you can part with the $$ i would recommend a suit like mine, they are awesome and i think quasi's got them on super special at the moment.

I got oxtar boots which I HIGHLY recommend, got them from speed tech on kent st. Any questions on gear, just ask the guys on sunday, hopefully we can get quasi to come on our rides at some stage!

my tire was 100 bucks cheaper at boyds than at honda...
both shops are good, no doubt.
i can get full leather cover from a good brand for under 1k, thats cheaper than quasi!

I was looking at your suit the other ride. Thought it looked alright. Might have to get me one cause my dream is to be exactly like MR Kozzzzz. Now if only I can stop myself from :sick: everytime I see the kwaka green :D:girlfight:

But the racer 9 does look good. It would look even better with yellow accents ;) Not too much, just enough to be different.

PS Thunderbirds are go haha
