Auckland/Taranaki/Central Plateau weekend ride

[The Pastor]

so are size 12's with toe sliders :whistle:

Nah, should be a good ride. Everyone take it at their own pace and enjoy yourselves :sunny:
the good thing is, ive ridden with 90% of the people on the list and i dont think there are any dickheads coming :)

[Radar]

Hope to see you guys in Taumarunui.

Any other crazies besides me from southern N Island going?

Tracey, how many in the group from AKL?

Looks like we will have a few showers tomorrow, better on Sunday. I don't mind showers but if the forecast changes to heavy rain all day, I'll stay in Masterton.

Yeah, my internal dickhead count is at zero off the top of my head too :)

(ok, that sounds dodgy when i read it back...)

Bike's all packed, prep'ed, checked and good to go (and should have enough gas to get the the autobahn)

Only thing i've forgotten to get is some of the earplugs Toto recommended to me, so first stop we have near a placemakers or similar i'm grabbing some! :doh:

[Starky307]

I'm glad I got my dri rider suit today. It's packed on top of my bag ready for a quick draw and dress down.

Lets go people!!

I want it to be nice and easy to get too, I've chosen to use my leather jacket and kevlar jeans so need to be able to water proof them real quick.

I'm wearing my leathers, but have my kevlar jeans on hand just in case it starts getting warm and I've got a pair of blue waterproof sailing pants and a standard waterproof jacket to keep me dry :niceone:

EDIT: am I the only person coming on a 250?

[musicman]

No, Renegade Master will be on a 250.

Sorrry for late reply... been spending time with me bike. :msn-wink:
but everyone has answered the question and you found the calendar thread

Yep numbers are at about 18, and the people invovled have changed dramatically the last few days, so am hoping everyone on them is pretty solid!


:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Ride is a GO


Hey apart from change of clothes, and bathroom supplies, what else will we need? Sleeping bag? Pillows? Hair driers??

no sleeping bags required, pillows neither. and if you want a hair drier then maybe you should!


In relation to Ecobulb... I have discussed it with RM, and its his call. If he does come, personally i would prefer you two stick about half way through the bunch, not at the back. but we can discuss that in the morning if he decides to come.


I think that answers everything that has been mentioned... See you all in the morning!

be fuelled up and ready for briefing at 6:45 and ready to RIDE at 7am!

Now get some sleep! i don't want anyone falling asleep on me! ANd during the day drink plenty of energy/caffine drinks!

[ecobulb]

Fate wins. ok so i hate the world right now, should've given indoor soccer a miss tonight. I tripped and hit the wall and buggered my wrist it would appear to be swelling up as i type, counts me out of this ride.:doh:

I'm so jealous of you all now, have good time!!

[Choco]

I'm off to bed! See you lot tomorrow.
Sucks to hear about the wrist eco, hope it isnt serious and heals up quick!

[MarkH]

Well, that'll make packing a bit easier then! I shouldn't need my tail bag.

I'll get to bed soon and I'll be at BP Papakura before 6:45am, I'll fuel up there and be ready to go.

[The Pastor]

lols turns out after all that eco fell over and broke/hurt his wrist so cant make it.

[TOTO]

I will hang out at the back anyways.

Tui anyone ?

[Badger8]

Alright ramblers, lets get rambling!!!

What an awesome ride! Thanks again to GSXR Trace for making it happen.

Pics: (the first 12) http://s462.photobucket.com/albums/qq343/kiwi_Vstrom/

I left Masterton at 6 AM, returned home 16 hours later at 10 PM after 917 km.

To be honest, when my alarm went off a 5.15 AM I told myself "No way! The AKL KBers are probably a bunch of wankers anyhow." But that was just the sleepy mind talking, I knew that once I got on my bike all would be OK - and it was. You guys from AKL are good to ride with. I have lasting memories of green Ninja's screaming past me (while I was doing xxx kph), not to mention Mrs DUCATI*HARD's chrome Ducati and a few others.

It was good to be home last night but at the McDonald's car park in Wanganui I nearly changed my mind and went with you guys to Ohakune. You AKL guys are terrific - if you ever get down to the Wairarapa, look me up and I'll shout you a drink or cuppa - I look forward to seeing you on the road somewhere sometime again.

[Radar]

Pics here in case you prefer them attached to this thread.
(How the %#$X*# can they be embedded in this post rather than being attached?)

[Radar]

More pics attached. Check out the Whanamomona Hotel pic - what it says about "A Wife"!

First 2 pics on the left - at Taumauranui

Middle 2 pics - group photo, Opunake, avramita and others have the official pics.

Last pic, right - that Burgman 400 cc scooter is not as slow as it may look!

[tommygun]

Nice photos Radar. It was great to meet you on the day. :niceone:

[Radar]

Nice photos Radar. It was great to meet you on the day. :niceone:

Same here. Nice to make new friends. I felt like heading back to AKL with you guys.

The pics are OK but avramita will have much better photos as he was using a proper 5mp camera whereas mine was a 3mp cellphone cam. The video that avramita shot of all of us on the highway should be a ripper.

Must also say thanks to avramita, kasper and others for doing the 'intersection marshall' bit (stopping to ensure the rest of us went the right way and did not get lost).

[Starky307]

I have lasting memories of green Ninja's screaming past me (while I was doing xxx kph), not to mention Mrs DUCATI*HARD's chrome Ducati and a few others.

It was a pleasure to meet you Radar and hopefully you enjoyed the sound of the Ninja's as much as I enjoyed riding mine all weekend.

[MarkH]

Great weekend guys!

[ducatilover]

I'm pretty gutted Icouldnt make it! sounds like it was a great ride grrr

[musicman]

Great weekend, thanks a lot everyone, and especially Tracey and her parents!! :first:

Right, now to wash all the mud off my bike...

[Choco]

Thanks Trace for organizing an awesome weekend, had a great time!!
Now it's time for a shower and a feed!

[The Pastor]

nice riding, didn't see any MAJOR dickhead maneuvers, and only made 2 small dickhead maneuvers myself.

great ride that no one binned on.

Thanks to Tracey and her whanau for letting us all stay at there batch and organizing a SWEEEEET ride.

Thanks to the stranger for taking me through the forgotten highway - shame you didn't stay for the rest of the ride. (it was sweet apart from the breakdowns and the fuzz)

Thanks to everyone who put up with me, badger for loan of his tools, markH for letting me use his scooter as a pack mule and to everyone who stopped and waited with me :love:

and thanks to toto for that secret night of hot steamy love.

[Starky307]

Big thanks to Trace and family, great ride and all worked out great.

I gonna try and upload some pics so here goes.

First pic is of the Whangamomona pub, the second is of the Ninja's sleeping and the thrid is the group shot while we were in the clouds surrounding Mt Ruapehu.

Took me a while but this should work.

[Starky307]

it was sweet apart from the breakdowns

I heard you had some issues, was that when you pulled over just after the roadworks, what happened?


thanks to toto for that secret night of hot steamy love.

Pictures or it never happened.

[TOTO]

Great weekend. Cherio to Trace for organising this run around the block in taranaki.

Pace was good, roads were curvy and smooth and views and company were fantastic.

Quote of the ride: (after seeing me wearing a rubbish bag as a raincoat...)


"...I knoew the recession is pretty bad...

some rain but nothing major - had loads of fun :D

P.S.




and thanks to toto for that secret night of hot steamy love.




RM that was not me you are talking about there coz I was with MusicMan the whole night. Must have been Badger :msn-wink:

[tommygun]

Here's one form the Surf Highway stop on Saturday.

[musicman]

Pace was good, roads were curvy and smooth and views and company were fantastic.

Shame about the bad weather on the Forgotten Highway, the views on that road are truly awesome. We'll have to do another ride through there!! :ride:

I hope everyone found it sweet, as it was my first ride to organise.
Unfortunately you didn't get to experience the true joy of the forgotten highway due to the rain... but I still think it was all good!

Not a problem, but i didn't realise you were heading back... someone said you thought you had registered too late to stay in ohakune, but you were more than welcome! You should have said something!

another good vid... but not as visible due to the rain! man we are hardcore bikers with that little visibility! haha
What did the footage from up the mountain look like?! haha

[GSXR Trace]

You and your Dad were gone goose when we hit the paraparas, it would of just been a set of tail lights in the distance.

it wasn't that fast... we were going uphill at 30km/hr talking, and couldn't see tail lights, so decided to just ride and enjoy it... so took it super easy on straights etc, but had a "little" fun in the corners! haha! What can I say... i love those roads! Both dad and I had massive grins at the other end though! haha

I am having the same problem, so I have blinged you for organising a great ride, thanks Trace!

[MarkH]

your falks rock :rockon:

Bling for you too, now I should be able to give more to Ducati*Hard! (and yet I can't, damn it! FAQ says: "You have to rep 3 more peaple before giving rep to the same person again.", but I have done that)

BTW
When is the next ride organised by you?

[GSXR Trace]

Sounds like everyone really enjoyed the ride, so that is great to hear! Hope work hasn't been to hard to be back at this week guys!

Watching that video reminded me how funny it was when riding behind RM. The bags would blend in with his jacket and from a distance it looked like he had a massive arse trying to eat the back of his bike.:lol::lol:

Was sizing up those cars when you sailed by, so didnt bother, heheh

[ducatilover]

mr ducati hard i think we should swap bikes, you see i want yours and its all about me:innocent::love:

[MarkH]

oh, so the organisation of this ride wasn't worth blingage in and of its own right huh?!

Well, I though "I need to bling more people, who deserves some bling that I have been to slack to get around to giving it to?" Then I saw a post by you and thought "oh yeah, Trace definitely deserves some bling!" I shoulda done it earlier, but, you know, whatever.

Actually I probably should have given you bling for letting me sleep in your bed, but we better keep that quiet or everyone else will be jealous.
