Laxed out rides

[ckai]

Excellent mate. Will be good to have a gander at your gear up close and personal.

Whatever happen to "introductory price"? Some people have no sense of adventure haha

[SilentNinja]

Keen to ride now, got some Alpinestar boots, and some chicane leather pants.
im happy as, and feel safe now haha.
Hope the weather stays the same as today, it was a wicked day to ride !!!!!

[mister.koz]

Be all good to see you there quasi :) shame about the new gloves not being there yet..

Good gear is a must have and i really like the quasi gear, i go on and on about it...

Sunday is looking clear now :woohoo: can't wait.

Was nice weather on the ride to whangamata today, was a little hot in the way that i could feel the tar moving with my tires at one point... shinny spot = bad :crazy: I saw about 15 bikes between hamilton and waihi, then it was all me to whangas, love those twisties.

I have to say kawhia is still my all time favourite ride, we should do that again some stage.

Anyways, look forward to seeing everyone there on sunday.

[Murray]

:yawn:

Yummy, hash browns, bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and baked beans. After spicey fruit loaf, some good brown bread, fruit and cereal and tomato juice. Followed by some danishes and crossants with some coffee!!!:sweatdrop

Making you hungry Mister Koz. I'm set for today and bugger have to do it all again tomorrow. Roll on Sunday!!!!!;)

[PaddyFZ1]

Hope you guys have a good and safe ride tomorrow.
Im getting sick of seeing heaps of people hooning around on bikes over here, today i saw a couple of 950SMs just cruising down the road.
Cant wait to get back and go for a spin.
Hope the weather is good next weekend.

[jmk]

Good to meet you on the ride today :) We will certainly be keen to come on another ride, we thought a ride up to Kaiaua some day would be good (just hope when it is organised it is a day we can come LOL

[Spazm]

Good day out today.. Look forward to seeing other peoples pictures

[Tootle]

A big THANK YOU :2thumbsup to Dave & Krissy for the fantastic BBQ and also to Murray for the Breakfast. Eric (Spazm) and I (Tracey) had a great day! Can't wait to start taking my own bike on these rides.

[HACHET]

Hey Dave

Thanks for saving my ass i owe you one i will fill up when i get the chance next time. your riding was improving on that beast of yours by the end of the day only trouble with it is its not green oh well you cant have it all aye.
Awesome ride awesome weather nice roads and good to see some new faces aswell.

[SilentNinja]

HUGE thanks to dave and krissy for putting on the BBQ, and Thanks to Murry for the wicked kick start breakfast.
Great ride very cool to meet some bikers, wicked bunch of people!!!
Great attitudes on the bikes nothing dangerous, apart from the tree/branch in hanging in the middle of the road !!!!!
hope to see you all next sunday !!!

[PaddyFZ1]

Looks like a good day was had by all.
Cant wait to get home, so i can join in on next weeks ride

[ckai]

Has anyone else noticed that the gastly "kwaka green" concentrated itself when parked up?? It seems to spread to other bikes that's near it :D I see 3 bikes that are infected in the first shot! Poor little buggers, never had a chance.

Thanks for the brekky Murray and Dave & Krissy thanks for the BBQ (Krissy you'll have to tell Dave since he doesn't know how to do anything on this).

I agree, it was good to see some new faces. Nice road, apart from the rally section.

Il show him how to use this later so he can actually see the messages himself :) I know hes thankful to all of you that gave him advice

[SilentNinja]

ive also notice when mister.koz was following me home, i saw a "go bus" and then saw him in my mirrors and noticed that the "kwaka green" is very close almost the same as those green buses hahaha his bike is like the "go bike".......

[mister.koz]

Hey Everyone, wicked ride on sunday, i think we have an awesome group going with these laxed out rides.

Thanks again to murray for breakfast and Dave & Krissy for the bbq.

i was completely wiped out when i got home hehe.

I will chuck up some pics in a gallery in my profile some stage today, didn't get heaps but got enough :)

I would be keen on catching up for a meal or a few beers at some stage, see what everyone looks like in civvies rather than leathers - just an idea.

Slowfox - you had an idea for a route? please do tell :)

Did you see our suggestion of Kaiaua??

[mister.koz]

:yeah: We said the same


Did you see our suggestion of Kaiaua??

Sweet, sounds like a plan :)

Sorry, I tend to repeat myself all the time :confused:

Just read back about Kaiaua, sounds cool. If you plan the run, it would be only fair that you are on it. If you figure out the route and send it to me when you know you an come along it would be sweet.

Anyways, got to do some work now.

[WhatThe???]

Did you see our suggestion of Kaiaua??

Umm....Where's that?

too bloody true. His bike does look like a bus! haha

What's this "work" you guys speak of? :confused:

[slofox]

Yep - 'twas a great ride......although the new seal was a bit of a bugger for me on 22...Waingaro to Ngaruawahia is much better when it is not pissisting down and blowing a gale like last time I went through there.....

A possible route for another day below:

<iframe src="http://www.quikmaps.com/ext2/85143?t=1&ln=0&sn=1&zb=0&d=1&o=0&lat=-37.9304413&lng=175.3766441&zl=9&mt=2" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="1036" height="402" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe>

Quite a well used route as far as Otorohanga but the bit east of Kihikihi is less used, especially following the west bank of the river from Arapuni Road to Leamington.

Just an idea.

That looks bloody cool! could you send me the parent link for that page, it should have the coursenotes and distances, don't want to run outa gas hehehe

When everyone else confirms i will see if i can get the course notes and maps photocoppied or something, they both turned out to be useful :)

[mister.koz]

scap that parent page thing, will figure it out :)

[wysper]

Far out.

You miss a few rides and everyone gets all flash on you!

Couse notes and distances etc. Sounds like you all know what you are talking about.

Hopefully next sunday!

[mister.koz]

hehe yeah we had an unfortunate out of fuel incident :) so yeah want to avoid that if poss!

Be good to have you along for the next one dude.

[Mr. Rock]

sunday was a goody!! sorry i never made breakie or bbq or bringing beers.. slack on my part!!

koz, good idea about meeting up in not normal gears.. would be pretty good and beers.. well that went without saying.

i went and had a look for another one of those cameras, the guy at noel lemming had no idea what i was on about and no one could find any i think they must all be gone :(

Yep - I had the same experience about two weeks ago.......he could only find a price for the 3 model.....but they have no idea in there about anything they sell.......they must pay peanuts....coz they sure got monkeys.....

[WhatThe???]

The thing I should be doing but dont want to :bleh:

[Murray]

That looks bloody cool! could you send me the parent link for that page, it should have the coursenotes and distances :)

Getting all technical again Mister Koz!!! Not on the USS Enterprise now!!

Good idea drinks and meal. I could suggest the Te Rapa Tavern as they do pretty good pub grub, 30+TV's with all the sports channels, TAB and Pokie machines!!!

For those out of town or interested I could to a Room and Breakfast for 2 at the Hotel for $69 or $55 for single person. Saves drinking and driving and if we did it on a Saturday night we could leave in the morning for a good run.

Just an idea???? Otherwise more than keen for some bevvies anytime/anyplace

Great ride yesterday and lots of fun. Thanks Dave & Krissie top notch effort!!!

[WhatThe???]

Sounds like a great idea :beer:

agreed, i dont think there is anything more annoying than trying to get info from a sales guy who has no idea what your talking about..

"yes hello sales person i would like to buy a mp3 player" "no we dont sell those but we do have this nice ipod"

WTF

[jmk]

I have very good excuse for not working cause I dont LOL I stay home and just look busy :bleh:

My work starts at 3 when the terrors start arriving home :-)

[WhatThe???]

LOL by 'work' I meant my course, which might as well be work since im doing flyers and other stuff

The whole route is around 200km long. Petrol available at Otorohanga or Te Awamutu. Coffee at Pirongia or Otorohanga or Te Awamutu. Not a lot between leaving Kihikihi and arriving at Leamington. I can do the whole run on 2/3 of a tank of gas.

Route notes as follows:

North up SH1 to Ngaruawahia. Left onto SH39 at BP or can go L through Saulbrey Road to avoid roadworks just south Of Ngaruawahia.
South on 39 to Whatawhata. South on 39 to Pirongia. South again towards Otorohanga. Optional deviation (worth it) R onto Ngutunui Road (towards Kawhia) to intersect with SH31. Left here, follow valley back to SH39 and on to Otorohanga.
From Otorohanga follow Ouruwhero Road/Pokuru Road to Te Awamutu. Ouruwhero Rd is accessed by going Left at the North end of Otorohanga's main drag - kind of opposite the Mobil station - you go left when you reach the hill - main road goes to the right around the hill - we go left.
At Te Awamutu go R on Bank road and join SH3. South to Kihikihi. Left onto Arapuni Road, through Parawera and Pukeatua and beyond.
Bear left onto Oreipunga Road. (If you get to Arapuni Dam you have missed this......) Follow this through Horahora and Maungatautari villages and on to Leamington. Return to Hamilton either SH1 or Kaipaki Road.........

[jmk]

another good place for after a ride I reckon is The Cock and Bull, I know of 3 of us that could walk home lol :banana:

Alrighty i like the sound of that :) I put up the route in the calendar, not set entirely of stone, we can make changes if required but i like the sound of it.

I was thinking of a meal and some beers at the cock and bull in a few weeks :apint: depends what everyone wants to do :)

:ride:

[mister.koz]

Just a thought to avoid highyway 1;

We can head down wairere drive and turn left onto resolution drive, right onto thomas road then left onto horsham downs road, left onto lake road right onto river road then left onto highway 1 thyrough ngaruawahia.

My main reasoning is traffic and bordom :) SH1 to ngaruawahia is quite flat, a little dull and busy with trucks.

Opinions?

[mister.koz]

Did anyone find out what happened to the black 250cc ninja that we lost early on in the piece?

And it had a stretch of gravel on it yesterday. River roads a good option, or the Gordonton road we went on and back down SH1 to Ngarawahia

[jmk]

or left at the base and go out via Te Kowhai

Damn rain!!! cant do my test till sunday now :( so no L-plate till next week

Thats right it did too.

I was thinkin horshom downs road cause we don't want to be too repetitive or annoy too many farmers on consecutive weekends :)

That quickmaps thing is cool, i am going to plot our past rides down on there and will post them to people who want them.

Might need a bit of help to do them tho as my head is wasted with geography.

[mister.koz]

aw :pinch: that sucks....


or left at the base and go out via Te Kowhai

That would shorten the ride, reckon making it longer would be cool. I am on those roads every couple of days :) helps living up that end of town.

[SilentNinja]

Cock and bull sounds great, i can walk home in 2 mins haha.
That ride looks great, some nice twistys theres, good rural area.

Heres a ride id really like to do one day, once the weather has settled down !!!
Plenty of stops, fuel, twistys.

Ok My turn now mister koz and i are taking a battering because of the green kwacka green is the dominant colour so therefore you should all bow down to the mean green kwacka machines, resistance is futile you shall become one of us weather you like it or not. we will even except black kwackas as we know that there is green just bursting to get out and they look soo good in the photos. but now to next weeks ride the route that is being discussed sounds good lets hope the weather holds

Just sitting back and pondering over yesterdays ride. If we add all the times up etc the tailend group (Murray, Trina, Brooke, Eric, Tracey and Cameron (think I got them all right)) on there older and littler bikes did the ride in less time than Mr Tl1000s on his GREEN Machine!!!

I agree with your thought mentioned above, any thoughts on avoiding parts of SH39 also? VERY populated in the weekends by mad mother F*&kers in these crazy caged things.

I don't think you can avoid SH39 without changing the whole route!

:2guns:booyaa!! He shoots, he scores. Thank you for coming, please come again. :)

Haven't looked at the route but anything with twisties is fine by me. Starting to get the hang of this motorbicycling thing. I may even have to have a bit of a practice run during the week since it's around my turf this time.

Agree about 39 being mad in the weekend but also agree that it sounds like it can't be avoided. In saying that it does seem 70% of the time when we rock up to cars in a pack they move out of the way if they can.

Just need to put those bloody green things up front and they'll move ;)

Murray, the room rate sounds bloody good idea for Brooke and I. We might have to look into that when the drinkie idea is sorted.

Its because no one can handle the power of the green. :yeah:

Only as a suggestion, keeping off more of the beaten tracks but still keeping it all sealed and keeping the general shape of slowfox's original idea.

The only problem is it is quite a few different roads so there would need to be a few choke points to discourage little black ninjas from venturing off

The green are just as bloody bad, although by the sounds of it, a little blue one might need reeling in as well.

Haha no way!!! just enjoy the corners, and the raw power of the 250's !!!

As a side note:
Te Pahu Rd cuts out a chunk of SH39 at the northern end as does Turitea Rd/Honikiwi Rd at the southern end all of which are sealed and in an ok condition & nice riding

The only problem is it is quite a few different roads so there would need to be a few choke points to discourage little black ninjas from venturing off

The Otewa Road option does make the ride quite a lot longer but is a goodie I have been told although I haven't done it myself...yet. It is next on my agenda when I get a chance.
Following the west bank of the Waipa from Whatawhata is a good option too and does cut out some of 39. The best bit of 39 is from Pirongia south anyway....BTW SH39 has its fair share of LEO's as well.......
Haven't done the Turitea/Honikiwi bit either - will chuck it in next time......

[WhatThe???]

Murray, just had a chat with Dave & we'd be keen on a room too :)

[Brooke]

Well seeing as you are all ok'ing dinner and drinks at the COMPLETE opposite end of town to us in TA Murray you had better book us in for a room.

We could call it the Kiwibiker Christmas get together :niceone:

Thanks again to Murray, Dave and Krissy (sorry if I spelt it wrong) for filling our bellies for the start and end of the day.

It's so awesome to meet such a great group of people :wari:

[wysper]

Its because no one can handle the power of the green. :yeah:

You just wait until yellow starts representing itself again. :banana:

[ckai]

Yeah go the yellow, I'm with ya there (although not quite yet but I will be eventually)

Any excuse for a few drinks and get-together, xmas will definatly do it! Anyone been to Skycity casino's bowling alley?? Thats pretty good coz it has a bar lol. Just a thought.

Yes I agree,you're a great group, it wasnt long ago I thought Hamilton people were a snotty bunch to be honest.

Im still trying to convince Dave he needs ritalin lol.

[WhatThe???]

Yellow?!?!? ....... whatever floats ya boat.....

[mister.koz]

Great furry lord there's just too much to respond to so i will summarize

:banana: cool, still like green more

Black ninja disapearing was more talking about the guy who hit a few corners and then missed one that everyone else too, not crazy dave mobile choppin traffic with the greens

Pass on the route but sounds cool to me :)

Cock and bull is sweet as cause i am lazy and its just down the road, otherwise bowling sounds bloody great too :)

Those curious about the recordings i may or may not posses can PM me and i will sus something out :)

Anyways, servers crying, koz to the rescue....

[SilentNinja]

Yellow?!?!? ....... whatever floats ya boat.....

Blue floats my boat haha...GO BLUE !!!!!!

[mister.koz]

I would suggest that buoyancy floats most boats but i am sure the green ones float faster and sound better while doin it :laugh:

[WhatThe???]

Blue floats my boat haha...GO BLUE !!!!!!

The blue is very nice! Good change from that green :bleh:

Ok Mr technical I know buoyancy floats boats.....lol

Yes I agree,you're a great group, it wasnt long ago I thought Hamilton people were a snotty bunch to be honest.

???? Compared to who? Where you from originally? Hamilton people aren't snotty. They're farmers so if you're not a cow, they don't know how to talk to you. :)


Black ninja disapearing was more talking about the guy who hit a few corners and then missed one that everyone else too, not crazy dave mobile choppin traffic with the greens

Yeah Brooke explained this to me after the post.

[HACHET]

so many different things going on cant keep up cock and bull good idea whenever dave deserves a medal for getting me out of the shit and for buying an awesome zx10 shame its not green oh well cant win them all mister koz cant wait to see that vid should be good munta puts up a good fight on the 250 and all the other guys just good fun to ride with even if i was the slowest on sunday. green is goo it helps the enviroment and they all look like toxic missiles going down the road.

[WhatThe???]

Im from Matamata, yea im finding alot of friendly people lately must just be the first lot I met that are a bit snooty. I think id get a really strange reaction if I walked up to someone and 'mooed' at them. Maybe even sent to Henry Bennet.....hrrrmmm....I feel like a holiday actually....

Y'know they have good food there. the security is a little backwards. I used to be crazy but we're fine now.

Cool cock and bull sounds great, pencil in friday week? shall i be a real geek and put an appt in the calendar?

As per Video - I could bring my laptop to the cock and bull or we could meet at someone's place and i could bring my laptop?? Will be even more by next weekend i am hoping!

I will read back later whether my route changes met approval :)

[WhatThe???]

Yup, cock n bull would be great.

Go on, you want to.... you geek :bleh:

[jmk]

Friday week for cock and bull sounds good, depending on numbers is it worth booking one of there rooms or at lest reserving some tables :2thumbsup

Hmmmm and might just have to celebrate my birthday a couple of weeks early

:Oops: was thinking out loud then

[mister.koz]

Yup, cock n bull would be great.

Go on, you want to.... you geek :bleh:

Will see what everyone else has to say about friday week :)

[jmk]

I forgot to ask if Mr Bean went swimming at Port Waikato LMAO

[WhatThe???]

Good plan :)

[mister.koz]

I forgot to ask if Mr Bean went swimming at Port Waikato LMAO

The old creepy guy that was gettin his gears off? hehehehe

[HACHET]

Are partners and wives invited aswell

[rideon]

Thanks guys for a great ride, had a pretty cool day. Must remember to take the chainwsaw next time. Was first under & nearly through that friggin branch. Biggest 'fright' on a bike so far !! Glad I just had the picks serviced the day before. Think the blue screamer got a startle too as he shot past my mirror by mm's as I was just about stopped ........all ended well though, luckily. Catch you another time .

[mister.koz]

Are partners and wives invited aswell

Of course, you can bring your wife and your partner :) might get a little heated tho?? :rolleyes:

I would be planning on bringing the little lady along, and if i am really lucky i wont have to drive!

[jmk]

Well Im going cause I wouldnt let the Mister go on his own to dinner :love:

I think partners/wives should come along but of course its up to the bosses haha

[mister.koz]

Depends on who the boss is :whistle:

[Squid]

Did anyone find out what happened to the black 250cc ninja that we lost early on in the piece?

Ah yes, the tale of the sneaky black Ninja indeed. Its a newbe called David whos trying to sell me his VT250, tis a new ninja and coz its not a suzuki Gixxa wants to get treated nicly and kept under 8,000 RPM :girlfight: You are luck Mr.coz its not green or your green dreams would forever be broken....

I'll bring him along next time and hopefully meet the ppls I havent yet and make it to some more rides (and beers)

[mister.koz]

Ha! i only dream of having a green bike for myself :)

Was his disappearing intentional?

[Brooke]

As for bring partners I reckon that is a great. Then they might get to know us better and let people come more often.... hang on come to think of it that could also work the other way. Just make sure Dave is at the other end of the table or he has had his ritalin! :doctor: he he, just jokes Dave! :argue: Lurv ya really!!!!!

[Squid]

...
I was thinking of a meal and some beers at the cock and bull in a few weeks :apint: depends what everyone wants to do :)


Keen as!!!

Also keen for this sunday, fingers crossed the weather'll stay nice for us.
Might bring a pillion along too, can split the gas money that way :dodge:

LOL il give him a jab for ya's :) :spanking: im sure he'l behave. I promise not to give him coffee for the whole day haha

[Squid]

No it wasnt intentional, The ninja missed a turn and ended up in Huntly I think. Somthing like that anyways.

[mister.koz]

LOL il give him a jab for ya's :) :spanking: im sure he'l behave. I promise not to give him coffee for the whole day haha

Aw, nah dave's enthusiasm and energy rocks :) give him coffee and watch him fly :) in fact we could line up the vodka and red-bulls and watch him explode! :wari:

I reckon we see how the interest goes, we could end up taking over the whole place!


No it wasnt intentional, The ninja missed a turn and ended up in Huntly I think. Somthing like that anyways.

Aw bugger, hope they were ok and didn't feel too left out :(

This is why we need to have a couple of pathfinders with cell numbers for each part of the group so we follow a little and don't get lost.

[WhatThe???]

Aw, nah dave's enthusiasm and energy rocks :) give him coffee and watch him fly :) in fact we could line up the vodka and red-bulls and watch him explode! :wari:
.

Cool, im pleased he doesnt annoy! Some people that meet him are like, why kryssie why??? others are just irritated by him...

oh yes, hes hilarious when hes drinking :lol:

does it really matter if we take over??? :P

[mister.koz]

Nah, dave's awesome, i was just giving him shit :innocent: I think its GREAT if we end up taking over, apart from the fact that it will get increasingly more obvious that i can't remember anyones name lol forget my own sometimes!

[WhatThe???]

Nah, dave's awesome, i was just giving him shit :innocent: I think its GREAT if we end up taking over, apart from the fact that it will get increasingly more obvious that i can't remember anyones name lol forget my own sometimes!

Thats ok I do it all the time :)

well that makes 2 of us! im a complete shocker with names, im more likely to remember ppls bikes then names. You get used to talking to people without having to use their names....hehe....

[Spazm]

How about
A few "Road marker" riders at intersections. where as one of the first to the intersections waits at it showing the direction till the tail gets there then proceeds at thier own pace to the front again and so on (similar to road blockers for larger rides (50+ riders) where they want the group to stay as one), still keeping a general flow and allowing people to ride comfortably at their own pace. + a handful of "choke points" to bring the group together every now and then

[Brooke]

Totally agree with you on this one Snot, oops sorry, Mr Koz. Dave rocks, at least you know there is never a quiet moment and he keeps us all on a high:Punk: had a good blat up the motorway with him yesterday, :scooter: and probably saved his bacon from a ticket :Police:

I am pretty novice on this sort of thing but it sounds like a good idea. going to do a bit of a fish about and maybe we should all have a yarn about it before we head out next time.

Geeze Spazm you're on to it. And just to make them super visable we can put them in high vis vests :eek: "oh yea..... mmmmm bop bop" (meant to be oh yeah song off what now if anyone else remembers that!)

Na mate it's called being organised. I am sure our group would be stuffed if we didn't have organised people :msn-wink:

[WhatThe???]

hopefully the forecast will start looking better for sunday then it is at the moment....

hehe, like the 1st ever laxed out ride which also happens to be the most wet ride and the ride with the most hail LMAO

I was pegged for the lead, my plan was to go "this way" and then maybe "go down to cambridge" through "mystery creek (mumble mumble) down some road (mumble mumble) this way?"

So yeah we are learnin :)

[Spazm]

LOL.. yeah but ya don't wanna be too organised, or it takes some of the fun and stories away.. :)

[mister.koz]

I reckon paddy had it bang on, he rode at his pace (fairly swift for me :eek5:) and stopped at intersections that we turned off the current road till the endcap got there.

That way we knew that if we couldn't see anyone we could just follow the road we are on till we saw someone, got rid of the "shit maybe they went this way" :Oops:

With teams of more than 10 i think half-way stops would work for example a team of 14: The lead stops till they count 8 and then the front 7 head on and the 8th waits for the endcap.

Dunno, it makes it simple and it takes allot of thinking out of it.

[jmk]

Sounds like a plan too, sometimes it's like everyone's so excited about going they don't make sure everyone is ready. Blink and the groups already gone :chase:

Um yes we know that feeling, sigh we had a ride from the Quality to Orini Road on our own cause you were all goff and off (was nice the bike can go over 100 and there was no :Police: around!!

[mister.koz]

hehe yeah was possibly not the best move to put dave in front on his brand new zx10 on a road with heavy traffic :blink:

[PaddyFZ1]

That route is pretty similar to what i was planning.
Those that followed me on the way back from Kawhia have already riden a big chunk of it so the will know where they are going, maybe.
The Turitea, Honikiwi Rd is a good section, (used for Targa Rally) and keeps us off 39 until just out of Oto.
Was going to suggest going out Waitomo Valley rd, and back into Oto via old Tekuiti rd, only have to cross SH3 once.
If thats not long enough can go out east of Oto, Mongaronga rd and come back onto SH3 at Tekawa head south to Puketerata road, and end up back onto same route as planned.
If some one could add this onto a map that would be appreciated, dont have time at the moment to sort out how to do it.

Sounds great :) not sure how to edit those maps.... will have to have a play.

[PaddyFZ1]

Those extra pieces will only add about 40 - 50 km. But there is a good mix of twisties and open sweeping country roads. So a bit of everything.

Yeah man sound great, if you get a chance, have a play on this site:
http://www.motowhere.com/

Its an easy way to waste a whole packet of time tracking out routes :) its probably then best and consequently the hardest to use site of its kind.

anyways, i should really go home and go to bed... to late to be at work.

If I remember rightly Waitomo Valley Rd is pretty cool. And the targa rd is cool as well. I can see some people with the front wheel up over a lifted section in the road.

Good ideas about the corners. As long as someone stops before it it's all good. We stopped around one of them on Sunday and then saw 2 bikes fly past! They worked it out though.

Would it work having the drink/dinner/drinks :apint: on the Saturday before a ride like Murray suggested? Would be really convenient for us who would stay at the kingsgate that night.

Kyrssie Kyrssie kryssie kryssie kryssie (sorry just doing my lines to remember the crazy way you spell your name. If it's wrong...bite me!) haha

And for those that are saying they're terrible with names. Here something geeky I learnt at a conference once. Your crap because you say your crap. Just like saying you can never go to sleep before 11pm. You tell yourself that so many times your sub-conscisious things it's true.

I used to be bad with names now I'm getting better (see? :) ) I just don't like saying them in case I get them wrong and call someone Snot when clearly there name is Goat ;) I'm still working on this part though. It's kinda scary how it works.

I'm also currently working on "I am a confident and god-like rider" and also "snot green is no match for blood red". Apparently, I keep hearing a laughing sound in my head everytime I mention them :(

:lol:

You talking about Rutherford Road turn off. Yep me and brooke missed it!!! But only just!!

I agree Saturday night would be better especially for those coming from further away and planning to stay the night. Then maybe we make a big day of it and do the mini coro run Mister Koz is looking at or the kauiua (or whatever) run JMK (I think) posted a while back. C&B sounds good even though I can get a jug at the Rapa for the same price as a pint there. (bikers must be rich???). Rule out Dec 13 as Hotel is full and cannot do accom/bfst special rate

cheers and beers to all

Hey its all good :) its actually Krystin but I wont confuse you all further :P I restrain myself from the biting tho lol

Its true what you say, its like in The Secret - the laws of attraction. If you think it, it will happen.

Saturday night would work better for us too and we would stay in town :)

Oh and the laughing sounds in your head "snot green is no match for blood red" are you sure you didnt say it out loud and its really just MrSnot green laughing???

Heres something green......:sick:

hehe :innocent:

Thanks Guys. I always try to behave. :Pokey: Thanks Brooke for the ride up the motorway. I wan't looking at your bum the whole time, Seeing how that Ninja sat on the road. :drool:

I had a look at a road map yesterday and planned out 3 new possible trips that can be arranged. I kepted them all to under 350-400km. Will bring them along this week. Sunday looking ok weather wise, just cloudy. :Playnice:

[ckai]

Well bugger you then, I won't try and remember your name. You shall be know from now on as The What, you there, hey, k, or just a general oi.

Anyway, just to summarise. This weekend we have the "oto" loop and next weekend (29th-30th) there is a preference for the out of towners to do the drinks thing on the Saturday so we can stay before a ride. And the ride on the 30th looking like it could be a long one (which I think is a good idea).

???

Did I get that right? So what say you townies? Work for you guys as well?

[M109R Cruising]

Krystin, Why are you chatting on this site, when you are at your course.

Its true what you say, its like in The Secret - the laws of attraction. If you think it, it will happen. Im thinking of bacon and eggs for breakfast but i dont see the maid in the kitchen yet.

Got to do some work today and see about buying some gear today and going to Speed Tect to get a few adjustments.

Most likely see you all on Friday or Saturday night. Krystin will keep me updated.

A summary would be good. I have been reading through trying to figure out what the hell is going on. I might have to talk to Koz to figure it out.

Drinks some night at the cock and bull is it? Is it dinner too? Maybe if we have enough we can get some kind of fixed price menu or sommat like that?
For those of us with kids we may need as much warning as possible to arrange babysitters etc.

Might be easier if I actually turn up to one of the rides LOL

[slofox]

Sad to say I will not be along for this coming weekend's ride....have a training session in the middle of the day.....(biggritbuggritbuggrit).
That said, I checked out the deviation from 31 through Turitea Road and Honikiwi Road this morning - earlyish....nice road, windy, tight, a little uneven and quite narrow in parts - also wet as and bloody freezing this morning....great view from on high in Honikiwi Road just before you descend into Otorohanga......
There is also a mob of young and stupid cattle grazing the long acre behind a single strand electric fence not far into this loop - chances are they will have been moved by Sunday but you never know, so heads up on that one...even my solitary bike merely pootling along scared shit out of them this morning.......wouldn't do to stampede them into following riders....and the cocky prolly wouldn't be nice about it either...

Have fun.

[mister.koz]

...And for those that are saying they're terrible with names. Here something geeky I learnt at a conference once. Your crap because you say your crap. Just like saying you can never go to sleep before 11pm. You tell yourself that so many times your sub-conscisious things it's true.

I am terrible with names because of a nasty falling down and rippin my head open and having a nasty seizure incident :pinch: now i remember pictures, smell and tunes but names and dates not so well. I am relearning



Drinks some night at the cock and bull is it? Is it dinner too? Maybe if we have enough we can get some kind of fixed price menu or sommat like that?

Yep looks like saturday night perhaps you could call them and see if you could arrange it you have the super cheap powers :yes:

Aw man, you will be missed.


SO after all that i am lost and i am not sure who's doing what and where we are going and who decided or committed to continuing that decision and what that decision means let alone where the decision came from.

In my head (which is a very busy place) we are sticking to the initial plan with the exception of going through flagstaff and horsham downs road to river road to ngaruawahia so we can avoid sh1 & roadworks, paddy also mentioned changes at the other end can we have a volunteer to map or write out the new path?

[mister.koz]

Also are we talkin this saturday or next saturday night for the food & beers at the cock and bull?

edit:

cause i will do a calendar thing, be good to warn them of numbers so we may get a discount/tables etc

If people interested in the Meal can PM me with numbers I will see what we can arrange.

As it is a Saturday night they have live bands, I think booking will be a mighty good idea. With decent numbers we might even be a 'private function'

arg, yeah 29 is bad for me too... i was thinking of the weekend after next and not putting a date to it...

Does anyone have a problem with the one after that? :D

As for the route i will do a map tomorrow or thursday if no-one else takes over :)

Fine by me put a calendar entry in for it someone please

I think it is next saturday.

you heard the man, do the calendar :)

[mister.koz]

I have been talkin to the sportsbike.co.nz guy (quasi) and he says we can have our own forum if we like.

Bonuses are:
we can have lots of threads to seperate yarning from course plotting and maps etc, just basically more room and less people, we can also moderate it ourself, i.e. one or more of the team would be able to kick people out if they are being pains in the arse.

I think its a good idea, someone (probably me) will still keep this thread open tho.

Downside is everyone will have to sign up there.

Who thinks this is a good idea?

Don't know??? Seems like we have picked up most riders through the KB site and this is obviously due to this thread appearing in "new posts" etc and through searches. My only concern would be that we would not grow or encourage newer riders to join us if we were only on the sportsbike site?? lets talk about it over some beer and food and more beer on the 6th!!

Good plan murray, a verbal yarn would be a good idea.

Of course we could just set up threads in the rant and rave section titled "laxed out rides - off topic"
"laxed out rides - giving dave crap"
"laxed out rides - green vs every other colour"
or whatever we may need :)

Saw him at BBT .. t'is been a while since I've bumped into quasi.

I've done a similar thing for the manawatu riders at http://www.mcrides.co.nz

Quasi and I are both hamiltonians so either of us I imagine would provide a fair bit of support should you decide to house .. and we're both keen on growing our own sites :D

Plus we're both pretty top blokes ... I've just been hit by the ugly stick is all :(

Heheheh, nice one Terminal. I will be buying some of Quasi's gear this weekend all going well.

[ckai]

Right, my view...

Agree we have gotten all our riders from this site which is where i would say new riders would come first and not the other sites (in saying that I don't know what they're like)

Kinda agree that it would be good to have our own forum with posts as above (laxed out of gas :rofl:). In saying that I was looking at some of the other meetings on here and they wipe our asses with post counts. One has well over 100 pages now. I see the point in it though.

Agree beer, food, beer, beer, shots, hassling Dave, JB's and little talking about it would be good.

I think if we have our own forum then a post would still need to be placed on here. In saying that, it'll cut out all the banter and friendly ribbing which may make us appear boring :sleep: god knows that ain't true.

The 6th we should be good too. Did I miss anything?

Oh yeah, Murray, what was it before??

anyways, i should be workin.

Executive decision

The dinner is for the 6th. So someone (I'm higher management I don't do it) can do a calendar thing for it if they won't.

This Sunday is ride and brekky is Murray gives the all clear.

The route needs to be finalised with Koz, Slofox, Paddy and Spazm since you lot all had input (although I think Koz just put it in the calendar). Way you go, talk amongst yourselves :grouphug:

Were there any other photo's from last weekend? i have a few in my gallery :)

[Murray]

looking ahead theres 2 waikato rides on the calendar for Nov 30th. one for the coromandal (15 enrolled) and a $5 special needs charity (1 enrolled). Heres a cunning plan!!! if we do the 6th for dinner/drinks we do a big ride the 7th (Coro way). The weekend of the 30th join one of the 2 rides going (or we all join the same one??). Personally I like the idea of the charity ride as it has BBQ options etc and it could do with the numbers. Its approx 3 hours around waikato roads but i don't know whose organising it??? But you can register!!

Your thoughts anyone (I know its a week away)

the run that has the 15 enrolled is for adventure bikes & riders ie: off-road run

I've registered for the $5 Special Needs charity ride on the 30th November. Sounds like a sort of laxed out ride. Please register if interested

Go to the calendar, rides up on there, 15-16 bikes out on Sunday

Balloned? I don't know what you're talking about :)

What do we use the group thing for? It doesn't have the same personality as this

[jmk]

We did the charity ride last year, is for Hamilton North Special School. The route last year was up to Ngaruawahia turn left at BP out past Waingaro, Glen Massey Naike?, and followed that road out to Rangiriri, up no 1 to Te Kauwhata for a rest then reverse of what we done last Sunday, except at end of Orini Road we turned right at Taupiri back on to No 1 through to Te Rapa Road and to the school for a yummy BBQ. Is $5 per person whether you rider or passenger, and they had some great raffles and spot prizes.

Looks like I'll be seeing yous on the 6th, for beers or a ride I dunno, got counfuzed and im sure koz will come to the rescue.

Can we use this thread for more ride kinda stuff and the domestics kinda stuff on sportsbike? I'm on there and it doesnt hurt all that much to join, its only a small branding iron on the left cheek....

This could possibly be an idea. So any discussion on route can go on here and domestics on the other site. Or to make this easier for others, someone suggested a while back to just edit the very first post on the first page.

That way if people wanna know what's going on they can go to that first page post. If nothings been decided could just put "still discussing. see last page for input".

I could see how people could get dizzy reading all our crap if they don't keep up.

I still think changing the first post is kinda a good way to do it no matter what. Unfortunately, that means that only Koz can do it.

[PaddyFZ1]

Looks like it will be a good outing on sunday, not too worried what route is planned for the following week as i will be off to Taupo for a training day

[mister.koz]

Yeah man, thats where the route on the calendar thing is.



With the sportsbike and the groups thing i reckon we just keep it as it is until we meet up for beers and can have a yarn about it.

So this is what we have:

Calendar appt - holds the date, route and general details
this thread - holds the intial discussion about the founding of the route and lots of banter and shit slinging :Punk:

all good?

Thanks Guys. I always try to behave. Thanks Brooke for the ride up the motorway. I wan't looking at your bum the whole time, Seeing how that Ninja sat on the road. :drool: :Playnice:

It's OK Dave, didn't notice if you were looking, was too busy keeping my eye's peeled for cops :Police: and it's not like you can miss it anyway! :gob:


Dave, what are you doing looking at Brookes ass?? Was you mezmerized by the snot green?

Hhhmmm snot green and my ass, hope that's not all in the same sentence or maybe a trip to the doctor could be in store :doctor: and here I was worried about my verbal diarrhea :sick::sick: ahahaha:rofl:

[ckai]

yip.

Just thinking (yes it hurt), if you had previously read up to page 20 and still didn't know what the details of the rides were, would you go back and read the first post or would you carry on reading from page 20 until you get to the end?

Me, I would probably carry on reading and would never think of going back to the first post. And if you got to the end and it said "check the first post for updated details" would that piss you off since you read all the shit and you didn't have to?:blink:

just take heed that the person (me this week) charged with getting the route down right has done it and put it on the calendar thingy :D and besides ITS ONLY TUESDAY we should only be gettin worried by thursday if we don't know :)

[SilentNinja]

:Offtopic: can anyone tell me what this "bump" business is I see sometimes in other thread? Can't work it out at all

"bumping" it means posting a new post which in turn brings it back to the top of the main forums page so its more likely to be seen...get it ??

[PaddyFZ1]

:Offtopic: can anyone tell me what this "bump" business is I see sometimes in other thread? Can't work it out at all

By "bumping" a thread sends it to the top of the list so it gets noticed

[mister.koz]

:Offtopic: can anyone tell me what this "bump" business is I see sometimes in other thread? Can't work it out at all

ok, when someone posts in a thread, it's "last active" time is newer which puts it up to the top of the "new posts" lists, so if someone wants a thread to be in the top of the "new posts" list and therefore more visible they do the bump thing.

Ckai says he understands now. Thank you, that will be all.:baby: he's too lazy to get out of bed and go and post himself (he says he's turned off the computer. Likely story).

So this is what we have:

Calendar appt - holds the date, route and general details
this thread - holds the intial discussion about the founding of the route and lots of banter and shit slinging :Punk:

all good?

all good


:Offtopic: can anyone tell me what this "bump" business is I see sometimes in other thread? Can't work it out at all

since only 5 people have already replied I will add my comment. It puts the thread back on the 'new posts' list. The one I didnt get for ages was p/t
I think it means piss take but I am still not certain
