Paeroa BOS '05 - Sunday 20/02 (spectators)

[Drunken Monkey]

Last year Spankme, Duckman, et al, led a group of "don't want to wake up too early on a Sunday" spectators to Paeroa via Miranda.
I see no reason why we shouldn't do this again!

These are the details as of 11-02-05:

Meet at the Caltex carpark, Mt Wellington Hwy (by the BK)

9:00am, for a 9:15 depart

A reminder that slow riders may find the pace a bit too quick - aimed at medium to quick riders - the whole wake up late and make up the difference kinda thing...

I'll be there, alright! Haven't missed one yet.
I go over this here hill and up the old road to Te Aroha - can be fun at legal(ish) speeds...

you have not been here very long have you, the kamais is always under maintance, <grumpy grumble slackasses who don't know how to build roads that at least last more than 6 months)

[Waylander]

Only been here since juneand ive ridden the kaimais a few times when they were fine. I think I've done that trip about 4 times there and back each time. You know your right, atleast for me its been new seal about half the time. maybe we could meet in rotorua or something (depending on where Pearoa is *gets his tourist map out*)

lets just say in 2003 i went to tga to hammmy, 3-4 times a week on my gsxr1100, and until a month or so ago i lives up the kamais, mclaren falls roads, just moved in to more city tauranga.
They normal always got some sorta road works on it

but still lovely road

Good option What? I'll be contacting AJturbo to pull a group together; I figure one of us will surface as co-ordinator. Unless you want to volunteer?

[Waylander]

The Hammy side of it is fun as, it's your side of it that they have been redoin lately. I had a surprise riddin over there the other day when the back tire wanted to slip out. Slowed down and just held it but it wasnt much fun, but once i got past that part i was back to havin fun again (i enjoy laughin at my sister and mom and them when they have to stop and pay toll and i dont. yea its only a dollar but still i can laugh:bleh: )

yeah the hammy side is the best, the ol 1100 you had to slide rear around alot to get it around corners at speed, riding the father in laws old vulcan 1500 was the worse, scraping exhust and floor boards they the corners.

[Waylander]

Dont have a problem with scraping the side of my bike (just my saddle bags) and I just love it when i can pass cars on the way up doin the full 100Kmhthe bike roaring like a mad lion!! Lots of waves from little kids too they just love it as much as i do. :rockon: (edit) the only thing i havn't done yet is go down at speed but i doubt i will do that for a while.

[MSTRS]

Anyone from HB going??

[Deano]

Im planning on going up. Have made the trip a couple of times on the bike but this year I will be taking Mrs Deano up in the car.

Hope to catch up with some of you up there - I know Quasi and have met DM so I will look out for you. I'll be the dickhead wearing the SP-1 t-shirt.

[Waylander]

Have to figure out if my bike will be legal and all that, hopefully they will give me an answere on monday so i can get that taken care of. have to decide wich group im gonna ride with though either the guys out of tauranga or hammy:spudwhat: , but first things first gettin the bike legal.

Hey mate , if you are coming up why not drive up the night before and stay here at home then travel to Paeroa (1 hour) in the morning?
Let me know youre welcome if you want

Later

[Riff Raff]

Is anyone riding up from Wellington? There is a possibility that I might have to pop down there, and then ride something new and shiny back! :wari:

[MSTRS]

oooooh tell us more. you know you want to.

It's a secret. You'll just have to wait and see!!! :wari:

Thanks mate - plan is to leave here Saturday morning. I have a friend who lives in Paeroa so we usually get on it with them Sat night. If plans change I will let you know. Thanks again for the offer.


You know me you silly honda rider.

Sorry dude, didn't see your post. See you there.

[bugjuice]

I'm in for sure.. What time and where to meet everyone tho? The Green Lane Shell ok for everyone? What time?
I'll do the usual meet for the 'shore riders at Cyclespot if anyone wants to meet there first, then head down.. I guess decide a little closer to the date..
but I'm well up for it..

You not ridin up Quasi?

[Drunken Monkey]

Oh, I should also point out that because we are leaving later then the 'early' types, it won't be slow, in order to get there before too much of the racing has already been done! I don't intend on scraping pegs all the way, but I won't be 'taking it easy' either - gotta stretch those legs when you get to Miranda...

[Deano]

Is anyone riding up from Wellington? There is a possibility that I might have to pop down there, and then ride something new and shiny back! :wari:

While I'll be confined to a cage :brick: there could be a few on bikes coming up to stay with us.

I'll try to keep you posted once I confirm it with the lads.

[Rainbow Wizard]

They wouldn't be round and with black boots all the way round their perimeter would they?

[Waylander]

Just realized that one of my mom's employees and friends who also works volunteer at a local firestation and the guys she works with there were planin on goin up to this. Not sure if they ride but I think they do but i could find out. If they do ride and my bike is registerd then ill probably ride with them and if some of the other from Hamilton on here want to ride with us or the two groups meetup somewhere i can find out the details of what they are doin today and post it later on. Let me know if any of you Hamilton riders are interested.

[RiderInBlack]

Plan to do the Drag Wars on Friday 18/02 and pitch tent there. All I need to make the Weekend complete is a KB ride Sat 19/02 ending with a tent site close to Paeroa for the street races on Sun.

I am one step close to being able to go to this. I just got off the phone with MAF and they now have the correct VIN# for my bike but it turns out that an initial inspection or somethin wasnt done when it first arived here in Hamilton. Gonna call the guy at MAF back tomorrow and see about getting that done. and then i can register this bad boy and be legal at last!!!!

Hey man, even got you'r self a new bike eh? Nice one! Come say hi at the pits. I am #15.

[bane]

If I remember rightly (admittedly, I have a piss poor memory), you had a RF400? Whats the story around the new bike? (every new bike has a story... even if its just made up)

yep im bored...

[RiderInBlack]

We could start a tent village next to Meremere Friday. Do the Coro loop Sat and then all we would need is a place to pitch Sat night handy to Paeroa (and a drunking hole:apint: ) and it would be one sweet weekend:2thumbsup

[bugjuice]

has a time and location been set for this yet?

Well i got me most of the parts to fix me TL up, so providing me n death have no major issues putting it together my cast comes off on thursday so more than likely i'll come down on the bike if not a back up plan in a cage is sorted. :wari:
It might be a bit slow going for me though, but i'll try n keep up with ya DM. :cool:

[Drunken Monkey]

Even with those casts on, I think it is I who will try to keep up with you :)

Dude, you're not new around here. Read the thread title...

[modalx]

I'm on for the ride from Hamilton. When in Paeroa the Waihi-Wangamata-Kopu-Paeroa loop is sooooo tempting. :yeah:

[Stroker Girl]

What route exactly are you Auckland lot taking? :spudwhat: Will you be going through Papakura out to Clevedon/Kawakawa or heading off further down? Got a small group keen to met up but we're all from the deep south :spudguita. Where would be a good join up point for us?

[bugjuice]

I'll be at Cyclespot over the shore at around 8.30am Sunday for RiBs benefit, leaving around 8.40, heading to Mt Welly Caltex for 9

Peeps out west, may be meet in New Lynn Repco carpark or something, around 8.30, then that should get you to Mt Welly Caltex around the right time.. I won't be there, altho I might have a couple of mates meeting there, then they'll be heading off to meet the rest

I imagine they will stop in at the papakura autobahn for us South Aucklanders to catch up with them, anyone know what time they'll be heading through there?

[MSTRS]

Looks like I'll be going from TePuke Sunday morn. How long to Paeroa from there and/or company?
Also, don't seem to be able to find a start time for racing?

[Drunken Monkey]

It might be better if the south contingent meet at the Shell station in Clevedon, just south of the round-a-bout, instead. It's more direct for us to get there via Takanini or East Tamaki from Mt Wellington.
Plan from there is to head down the road past the Thames to Miranda and continue south to the main highway. There's a right turn from the highway that takes us to SH2 which we would take (we won't go as far as Kopu), but I can't actually remember where it is (I'm sure someone else knows).

How long will it take you to get to Clevedon? About 20mins? Should we meet about 9.40ish. When you say a quick trip what will your average speed be about???? Are any of you smokers? I'm normally used as an excuse for ciggie break, as everyone pulls over for a smoke to wait for me! :shake:

Shell clevedon sounds good, means I can have a few more precious minutes in bed.

Ummm, now you're asking all the hard questions...I'd say we will be there no later than 9:45, if we're there earlier and no-one's about, we'll wait a short while.
I have no idea what the 'average' speed will be...Typically a KB rated slow ride will not exceed the indicated speed limits, and corners may or may not be taken around the 'suggested'/signed speeds. On the Miranda straights you wouldn't get much change out of $2.50...I don't want to incriminate myself, so I hope this gives you an idea.
We will probably only have one fuel stop. Paeroa is not far, and we want to try and get the best balance between not having to wake up at 7am and not turning up after half the day's racing is complete...

LOL! No worries, that sounds about the pace of our group anyway. Those miranda straights are bad news! :niceone: I'm a bit slower than most of them, esp up the twisty bit between kawa & kaiaua (still getting used to the 400), but I'll catch up further along. Beats going down the boring highway and getting a nice square tyre. See you around 9.40ish. Should be about 5 bikes in our lot.

You want a lift down to the drags tomorrow night dude?

What is the route going to be? The reason I ask is that if we are heading to miranda and then straight to paeroa I might just take make my way via the Coromandel to paeroa after we stopped (or not) at miranda. It will make me late for the first races but I will have a good ride and I cant sit still for more than an hour in any case.

So Im saying is that if anyone wants to do the ride with me around the coromandel feel free to join me.

MR - this (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=3) isn't you last year, is it? (well, your bike..)

[Motoracer]

No, not that one but it's this one being ridden by Johann Bruns at Paeroa, the previous owner of my bike: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=1

I only started racing in April 04 and it'll be my first race on a street circuit this Sunday.

[Stroker Girl]

:banana: Two more sleeps to go till Paeroa !! Yippe Yi Yeah! Starting to get very excited. Got the bike WOF yesterday, nice old man checked it over, lamenting the lack of kick starts and centre stands on bikes these days. :disapint:

So see you all at Clevedon 9.30am. Also, the girls going on the slow ride, please reconsider not going down the SH. I'm not a fast rider and would be cool to have some female company on the rides for a change. Boys have their uses, but its the usual story of 'Yeah babe, I'll stay and ride with you' but then the testosterone get pumping and ego's start building, engine's get revving and next thing you know you're starting to feel like the little red caboose, last in line, yelling out wait for me !!! :cry:

Peeps out west, may be meet in New Lynn Repco carpark or something, around 8.30,

I'll be there.
Just around the corner for me :cool:

[Motoracer]

OK, I am pretty much all set, except for the fact that I don't have my bike!! LOL

I was supposed to go to Colemans and pick it up today but a bloody anoying Client kept me at work till 5:30, then was caught in traffic. By the time I got to Colemans, all I saw was shut doors, at 6! :(

For some reason, I always thought they closed at 7 but it was actually 5:30! There is so much that I had planed to do tonight on the bike but now I don't know, some how I guess I'll have to fit doing thoes things tomorrow at some stage in Paeroa.

When will I ever learn eh...

Check out my slight change in colour scheme tho. Thoes who have seen my race bike before, can you notice the difference? Like, don't like?

P.S. A huge thank you goes out to mlcrises for arranging sponcership for me for Paeroa!!!! I am rapt and very very greatful. Also Thanks to Chris for finaly giving us the big OK.

My sponcer as you can see from the pic is SDV International Logistics.

So see you all at Clevedon 9.30am. Also, the girls going on the slow ride, please reconsider not going down the SH. I'm not a fast rider and would be cool to have some female company on the rides for a change.

I'll probably be going two-up with my missus and she'll definitely be keeping me in line. Also new bike to get use to as well so will be takin it easy :niceone:

[RiderInBlack]

Me and MadDuck are leaving Westgate, West Auckland at 8am.... we are calling into Autobahn to refuel... so if you are there when we get there.... you can come and join us.... on our cruisey ride down... Its a possibility that Joni could be joining us as well.... depends on a few things for her.... . leave a message in the "slower ride down" thread..if you want....

[Arven]

Right! Just to confirm, We are all meeting at the Caltex on the Mt Wellington Highway Just off the Southern Motorway at 9am...

Would this be the correct place?

And which route will we be going to get there? Via Miranda, and then where?

I think i might join in on the longer trip around the Coromandel. I also cant sit still for more than an hour or two.. (usually get sore feet!! :P) and stuff carrying around all my bike gear for too long...

But it will be mean to see Motoracer RACE! :2thumbsup

I am looking forward to this! :)

Hey Crashe, thanks for the offer but I'd better stick with my group for trip down. Hopefully can catch up with you guys later. Have a good ride down. :spudwave: Watch out for the boys in blue along that long straight before Paeroa.

Good luck MR. :niceone: Have an awesome ride Sunday (hope you manage to get your bike sorted without too much stress tomorrow!).

[erik]

I'll be there.
Just around the corner for me :cool:

Me and Shade were just going to head off from KK's place at 8:20, I was hoping to get to Clevedon with enough time to gas up before the people from Mt Wellington arrived.

I guess we'll stop by at Repco too, it should be enough time to get to Clevedon and gas up if we leave Repco at 8:30, right?

[Waylander]

Sorry all you Hamilton peaple goin to this, I couldnt get any info on where the other group were leaving from so best bet is to try to set something up yourselfs. Sorry for the late notice but I have been trying to get my bike taken care of so I can go but LTSA isn't exactly coperating with me when I call them. Ohwell maybe for the Waikato rally....

Roading update.

Rode down to Paeroa from Auckland via the most direct route across the plains this afternoon, no roadworks or other stuff to mention. Just keep an eye out for Mr Policeman if you are a speeder, they will be out and about tmorrow.

[swanman]

Agree with WONCO. Bugjuice and I came up accross that way yesterday too. We very nearly got pinged at high speed :whistle: Just got away with it. Also another 4 or so patrol cars en route. So be observant or restrain it.
