What you need to bring:

Swimware - its not a nudist beach

Petrol money - kinda obvious but we have had cases where people show up thinking that someone else will buy petrol for them - not the case.
Bike in good working order.
Motorcycle protection gear - if you show up in shorts and a T-shirt without armoured gear , you will be sent home.

Registration here - http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1861&day=2009-1-25


P.S. Ride will be postponed if stormy weather is expected. Updates will be made in this first post and in the discussion thread day prior to the ride if something changes.

[Reido]

[TOTO]

[Qkchk]

[TOTO]

[EatOrBeEaten]

I'm in, and that's just mental!

[z99]

I will try my best to come...If i can take my sunday work off.

[rie]

Lol there was that time i forgot my wallet to a ride. thankfully it was only a short pootle and only used half the tank so didn't need to borrow money for a top up anyway :)



Motorcycle protection gear - if you show up in shorth and a T-shirt without armoured gear , you will be sent home.

when i see riders in shorts & tshirt at the lights i secretly want to tip them over to teach them a lesson. but that's an evil, evil thought. and it's not my business whether they choose to wear gear or not. >_<

but good on you for enforcing good gear!

[TOTO]

I just really really dont like dealing with blood, skin, ambulances, and police...

[Dakara]

Well I've managed to swap my days off so can come along as TEC. Will confirm it next week as my days off can still change last minute :blank:

[TOTO]

Great stuff matt :niceone:

[.chris]

Wish I could come, but I am away in the south island.
I am misisng so much stuff while I am away. Its damn poor timing bloody brother getting married how inconsiderate.

[sabbath45]

yea might come to if dnt have to work, kai iwi lakes is pretty sweet

[musicman]

Lol there was that time i forgot my wallet to a ride. thankfully it was only a short pootle and only used half the tank so didn't need to borrow money for a top up anyway :)

Errr... you meant, like, yesterday?? Haha

[glice]

If I can make it I can be another tec so they can swap around. see how it goes.

[Blackshear]

Count me mostly in, as it's either that sunday or the one before it with a nice birthday party on it. Will confirm with the host.
By the way, I might be too broke for petrol on that day... :love:

[Lula]

Thanks TOTO I should be there - with all the requirements!

[Sharry]

Good on ya TOTO I'm in for a nice slow ride. Can share TEC if need be.

[crazyv]

Looks like a great spot for a dip! - not to forget a mean ride and great way to spend the day!

Once I graduate my GN250 I sure hope to register for one of these Rides!

ps. a pity Google Street view does not cover ALL roads yet ... ah well

[TOTO]

It is a great spot:

Sun, Shade, Cristal Clear water, pearl white sand - lol , cant wait now :sunny:

[Slyer]

innnnnnnnnnnn

[Gwinch]

Yeah, maybe.

[EatOrBeEaten]

I'm pretty excited about this- I've been swimming at Piha since I got here, and it'd be nice to get wet without feeling like I'm in a washing machine....

[Slyer]

ohh yes, these lakes are crystal clear and dead still.

[<G>]

Kai Iwi Lakes is beautiful. I hope to come on this ride.

[rie]

looking forward to it :) :) :) i must devise a clever plan to strap my togs, towel, sunscreen, picnic basket, sandcastle kit, jandals, beer and boogie board to myself. yay for summer!

[Slyer]

I'm keen for this sandcastle too!

[Reido]

get a blow up boogie board, but *shrug* for everything else

Turns out i have 2 alternate days and 6 sick days..

anyone know how much notice i need to give to take an alternate day??

[Slyer]

Anyone want to share my picnic basket with me?

[EatOrBeEaten]

It varies depending on where you work. You could ask them, but then it will look suspicious if you don't like the answer & then 'suddenly' fall sick on Sunday.

[Slyer]

You're right, it's not quite a basket.

[Reido]

thats what i was thinking...
problem with calling in sick is that i work monday too... so i'd have to fake looking semi ill on monday..

and i cant afford to not work..

[Little Miss Trouble]

Thats easy, claim a stomach bug, no one will want details!

Where do you work? If your work is rostered shifts can you get someone to swap days with you?

[Slyer]

Just go to work and attack toto for not giving two weeks notice.

[Reido]

[Slyer]

[Reido]

Just go to work and attack toto for not giving two weeks notice.

no attacking of totos allowed :doh:



i think its going to have to be a fake sickie, shhh dont tell anyone

I might tag along... but Gremlin's don't like water... instead, I'll go explore some of the roads that seem to exist in the area... and see if the maps are accurate :done:

[The Joka]

I might come with you as far as Warkworth..

Heading to Mangawhai for the day anyhows!

SH16?

If not might see you out there!

Have a good ride, make sure everyone stays right way up.. had a mate fall off up there last weekend!

[Slyer]

I'm definitely agreeing with the fast and 250 group here.

[jrandom]

I might tag along... but Gremlin's don't like water... instead, I'll go explore some of the roads that seem to exist in the area... and see if the maps are accurate

Have you ever ridden down to the bottom of the Pouto peninsula? Great road, and it turns to gravel some ways before the end, if I recall correctly.

Yous fullas do all realise that they've cut down all the pines surrounding the main lake over the last couple of years, aye?

:weep:

[Slyer]

What really?
I was last there maybe 5 years ago...

[jrandom]

What really?
I was last there maybe 5 years ago...

Yup. It sucks. Really spoils the look of the place, IMHO. Last summer the area around the lake that used to be a border of pines in between the water and the farmland was all just chewed-up tracks, bare hillsides and logging detritus.

(I notice that Google Earth still shows the trees - satellite photos cover that area, the high-res aerial photography starts just to the north of the lakes.)

[DIN PELENDA]

I'm in, it is my first born son birthday, 25.01.2000 , just like his dad he is bike craze , when he was 4 year old he had pw50 yamaha and he recognize any brand and model of road bike from distance as their go pass , now he ride 125 pit bike and his spelling is better then mine . Biker boy is coming with me for ride, that will be his birthday gift from me .

Fantastic plan. The little one will be quite happy with his birtday present I think :niceone:

Wish I got such a present for my 9th birthday.

but good on you for enforcing good gear!
\You would be having alot of fun in aussie then, id say 70 percent of the riders i saw has next to no protection.

And dam, i have work on sundays :(

[GSXR Trace]

in the event that I get over my recent loss of bike :weep: and decide to come, i will be caging it :doh:... so may see ya out there, unless someone has something they want me to take out for them, and then could come and pick it up and take it out


one proviso: don't ask me about my bike

[Slyer]

What happened to your bike trace?

[GSXR Trace]

What happened to your bike trace?

crashed on motorway when two cars both didn't see me and tried to merge in on me from both sides, was only low speed (hence i walked away from it) but another car drove over it... its written off

[musicman]

its written off

Streetfighter GSXR600? :D

[GSXR Trace]

Streetfighter GSXR600? :D

UNFORTUNATELY i don't have the money, time or knowledge to be able to turn it into anything, otherwise would consider getting it for the track!

[Squiggles]

UNFORTUNATELY i don't have the money, time or knowledge to be able to turn it into anything, otherwise would consider getting it for the track!

Could get someone like me to assist, i get to have a couple of goes on it tho :headbang:

[crazyv]

Anyone tackling this ride on a GN 250?

[EatOrBeEaten]

you mean "suffering", right? :p

[Gremlin]

Have you ever ridden down to the bottom of the Pouto peninsula? Great road, and it turns to gravel some ways before the end, if I recall correctly.
I haffs not... s'pose I should do it some time... but I'm still trying to find an aftermarket large tank, so I can stay in the wop wops for longer...

[GSXR Trace]

Could get someone like me to assist, i get to have a couple of goes on it tho :headbang:

well thanks for the offer, and wouldn't be a problem with letting ya have a go.... but still have the problem that i don't have the cash to be able to get it in the first place! let alone all the extra crap would have to buy. You realise the swing arm on it is broken ah?

[GSXR Trace]

Anyone tackling this ride on a GN 250?

I do believe GNs can go anywhere mate... even flying through rivers without checking depths (ah banzai!) Youll be sweet man, these guys are good and the whole idea is for you to ride your own ride and do it at the speed you want to.... go and have a blast!

[TOTO]

I taught you said you had full insurance ? Was the insurance company being a bitch ?

+1 on what she said :niceone:

[GSXR Trace]

I taught you said you had full insurance ? Was the insurance company being a bitch ?

i do have full insurance.. and they are paying out and not being a bitch, but that money will be purchasing me a shiny new bike, and therefore won't have money to then go and buy back my wreck of a bike to use as a track bike!

Well im now heading back to the naki tomorrow... woohoo 4 day weekend! so won't be coming for a swim in the car. have fun!
however, maybe i have hit my head... buying a new phone and paying for stuff for the car, before i pay out on a new bike... whats wrong with me?! haha, its all good, ill be back on a bike as soon as i can (but have to wait to find a bike that deserves the joy of riding! haha)

[gtr boy]

you should get a triumph.much fun on those:msn-wink:

[Badger8]

Oh yeah, this ride is on in a couple of days... should probably track down the thread i guess :laugh:
I think i've volunteered for TEC, but we shall see on the day. Provided i'm not tooo burnt from the previous day on the beach i'll be there with bells on :wari:

[Hiflyer]

im gunna have to say i cant make this one. . . sorry peeps

gtta head off to meremere for the drags. . .not participating although my 250 could waste EVERYONE haha

have fun without me :weep:

[R6_kid]

I haffs not... s'pose I should do it some time... but I'm still trying to find an aftermarket large tank, so I can stay in the wop wops for longer...

Well why dont you just half fill the standard tank. then you can stay in the wop wops even longer!

[crazyv]

you mean "suffering", right? :p
"suffering" is another way of putting it - a bit harsh on the 'ol GN though :innocent:

Yea I agree, providing the roads are not too steep to make the GN go on 1st gear (which would be painful for bike and rider), my concern more was the 10L tank - hm although thinking about it, 200Km's is probably its capacity on a full tank so should be do-able!

No other GN's?

[EatOrBeEaten]

"suffering" is another way of putting it - a bit harsh on the 'ol GN though :innocent:


I jest of course, I hold the GN in naught but the highest regard ;)

[Badger8]

My GN did flamin miles on a tank. If i was crusin at 80-85, it would get nearly 30 k/L. Dont think i ever got it under 24 k/L (i think? while ago now...), even thrashin it round town.

Normal gas stops are no more than 150k apart on these rides, so wont be a problem mate. TEC will chill behind you and let you do your own comfortable pace, that's the idea of the noobie / learner rides :yes:

[fizbin]

well at the risk of jinksing this like this ride like the previous 2:argh: i have held off until now to confirm i will be coming along:gob:. but alas you will have to put up with my company, hideously ugly shirts and body as well.:puke::puke:
looking forward to this TOTO:woohoo:. Badger want to come over for a couple a bevies after the ride, i might even fire the BBQ up!:drinkup::corn::drinknsin:

Its been a while. Will be glad to have you along Rob. - that tunnel sure is something to think about ...


well at the risk of jinksing this like this ride like the previous 2 i have held off until now to confirm i will be coming along:gob:. but alas you will have to put up with my company, hideously ugly shirts and body as well.

yepeeee :wari:



Yea I agree, providing the roads are not too steep to make the GN go on 1st gear (which would be painful for bike and rider), my concern more was the 10L tank - hm although thinking about it, 200Km's is probably its capacity on a full tank so should be do-able!

No other GN's?

Roads will be good for you. just come along mate :yeah:


shhh thats our secret

oh and for added measure i acted a little sick today so that its not completely out of the blue when i call in sick sunday morning

So you are implementing every step as I told you - good stuff.




Ask anyone... im really good at poking holes in plans! mwhahahaha :devil2:


Poking holes in plans Like EJ is poking holes in bikes - Tarce is :niceone:


you are officially at the top of my hate list right now!

I wanna be on the top - me, me, me ......:love:


oh dam!!!!!!!!!!!! ive got my restricted licence test booked for this sunday what time do we get back from the ride???????????


ammm I wouldnt hold my breath for comming at an exact time. i'll lie to you if I say an exact hour, but after 4 in any case.



Happy to help out if you'll reciprocate, those boys are WELL dodgy!

Oh , you wait till after you meet us...you will be like ...:confused::shit::crazy::eek5:

[gtr boy]

havnt been for a ride sincr my accident,got ny wifes gn260 that hasnt seen much action,might just hop on it and come for a wee pottle,just to get my eyye in again......bags tec:whistle:\

[Little Miss Trouble]

I'm pure as the the driven snow, honest! :innocent:


Me too!

Top of the head? Ouch!

Very painful, I have a very pink stripe down the centre of my head where my hair parts


was that the dude who rode into the back of someone?

That was him.

I forgot to ask, does anyone know if the other dude was all good?


Shame about the Hyo too, here's hoping nothing like that happens this weekend....

Better bloody not be :spanking: I want to complete the ride this time!

[EatOrBeEaten]

Oh , you wait till after you meet us...you will be like ...:confused::shit::crazy::eek5:

Oh ay ? what ride were you on ?

[Slyer]

That was him.

I forgot to ask, does anyone know if the other dude was all good?
He's okay physically, his bike is most likely a writeoff too, which he is not happy about... He has insurance so he'll be okay.

[Gremlin]

Well why dont you just half fill the standard tank. then you can stay in the wop wops even longer!
I fear banjos...

So... you coming? What with your missus wanting sunscreen put all over her body and all :devil2:

sorry... forgot what was after that in this thread :whistle:

[EatOrBeEaten]

Oh ay ? what ride were you on ?

The workshy ride out that samgab organised, I'm being mentored by the cornering Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Gwinch showed me up on the ride out towards Clevedon.

Dodgy, the lot of them! ;)

Why don't all you ham-fisted adolescents just shut up and get on with rooting each other senseless, instead of giggling about the idea on the internet?

It's painful to read.

Oh wait...

[MarkH]

I will be along for this one.

Hmm, from the list of dodgy bastards attending I'd best get one of my flatties to do my sunscreen before I leave, unless one of the other ladies is happy to oblige...:whistle::innocent:

Hmmm, I might have to come along to watch one lady rubbing sunscreen on another lady - reminds me of a movie I saw once :whistle:


(Hyo got written off by the way)

:eek5: Holy crap - from what I saw it had a snapped clipon and fairing damage, blardy hell that really isn't that much damage to write off a fairly new bike.

[fizbin]

its the fairings that write them off. :angry2:they go on as new purchase price which works out at like 2000+ a fairing:crazy: the rest of the damage is fairly minor. when i had my off, the insurance company qouted 6k worth of damage. :oi-grr: i only paid 4k for the bike

[fizbin]

you can talk.. and i quote
"is it ribbed for her pleasure?":lol:
ROFL i had forgotten about that.
but i think she also asked if it was pink!

video-ing people when there not aware not enought for you anymore??

[Devil]

Haven't been up that way before. Would have liked to have come along.

Unfortunately i'll be watching the superbikes at Ruapuna. Woe is me :2thumbsup

[MarkH]

video-ing people when there not aware not enought for you anymore??

Not aware? It was hardly subtle - I had the cellphone in one hand and a bright torch in the other, if the torch wasn't shining on you there was no useful video captured, being night time and all. It is not like I was filming with a long zoom from somewhere hidden either - it was wide angle from the cellphone from the fence beside the pool. Complete low res crap TBH. If you are worried I can show you the recording on my phone and I am happy to delete it if you think there is anything embarrassing to you in it.

Anyway:
I might bring my good camera along on this ride, even though the camera, lenses, etc do tend to completely fill the top box. No video though, unless I use the cell phone.

Its more being told I was filmed as I got out the pool that concerns me, and no actually I didn't know about it at the time, since I can't see fuck all without lenses

[Badger8]

good boy! i'll clean the BBQ

Pish, dont clean it! it's the flavours of the dead and departed brother steaks that give it such a tasty BBQ flavour :devil2:

[MarkH]

Its more being told I was filmed as I got out the pool that concerns me, and no actually I didn't know about it at the time, since I can't see fuck all without lenses

Interestingly enough I wasn't filming as you got out of the pool, like I said - I will happily let you have a look so you can see how harmless it is. I hardly ever bother with the video function on the cellphone because you really don't get a great result, I was just having a play with it to see how it would come out.

[joshy28]

i would come BUT i still dont have my licence yet due to not winning lotto, Nah, just havrnt started work yet...however, when i get it, ill be very keen ride almost every weekend

[Little Miss Trouble]

Meh, whatever, I'm not stressing over it.

Just a thought though, you might want to be a bit more careful about shit like that next time, a couple of people were less than impressed with that...

Hey Toto are we sticking the State Highways as the map depicts or taking the twistier route through the wops? :scooter:

I'm guessing we'll be taking the twistier route, trying to get google maps to show what you want can be a bitch though!

[MadDuck]

What time you reckon you may be passing through Kaukapakapa?

I may tag a long for a bit of a cruise ......

[The Joka]

Right!

I decided I need to make more of an effort to meet other bikers.. So I am definitely coming on this ride! :clap:

Will meet you all at Westgate 9am. To have a chat, coffee etc

Will ride with you as far as Te Hana (the turn off to Mangawhai) just after Wellsford.

Will probably go Tailend charlie for the fast group! hated riding in the middle of a group makes me nervous!

Look forward to seeing you.. on Sunday!

Ohh can I suggest you guys go through Mangawhai and then up through Waipu.. So much more fun then sticking to the straight lines of the highway! :headbang:

[TOTO]

Hey Toto are we sticking the State Highways as the map depicts or taking the twistier route through the wops? :scooter:


SH16, SH1, SH14 and finally SH12 to kai Iwi lakes (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=massey+north&daddr=kaukapakapa+to:wellsford+to:dargaville+to:ka i+iwi+lakes&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=-37.926868,174.451904&sspn=6.126053,9.876709&ie=UTF8&z=9)

well we leaving at westgate at 9:30 so probably 9:45 trough KAUKAPAKAPA

The fast guys will do their own thing so they will shoot past you first and my actual learner entourage willfollow. I'm gonna be on a black Honda hornet - blue jeans, black jacket, high-viz vest and a grey helmet....and pink mankini ;)

[Slyer]

[fizbin]

good god i hope the weather is as good tomorrow as it has been today. if it is everyone bring sunscreen you are going to need it :LOL:. will someone rub sun screen on my back.:buggerd: come on you know you want to.
will see everyone at the shell at 9 or so.

I am haveing a BBQ at my place after the ride if people would like to come along to. if you are going to come along please let me know. to is bring your won meat and drink.:2thumbsup

do you think i should tell my wife that i am inviting people over or should i just let her find out on her own :bleh::dodge:

[MarkH]

do you think i should tell my wife that i am inviting people over or should i just let her find out on her own

Why bother telling her - it'll be pretty self-evident soon enough. When you get home you just get the BBQ ready to fire up and people will start turning up and your wife will figure out what's happening. :laugh:

If it starts a fight then all your guests get a free show with their dinner.

[trump-lady]

I have a Tangi to go to so im out :( here I was trying to decide, sunday ride or northern exposure tour. Now I gotta cage 1000000000 rellies up north. Take care all and keep safe........ see u on next one

[MadDuck]

well we leaving at westgate at 9:30 so probably 9:45 trough KAUKAPAKAPA

Well you wont be doing 'legal' speeds to get there in 15 mins.


...and pink mankini ;)

You will be pretty easy to spot then :eek: See yas tomorrow.

[TOTO]

Ok , I did the route to the lakes today with the northern exposure group, so here are the things you can expect tomorrow:

Heaps of cops - marked and undercover, and they are targeting bikers most of all. I have a written proof :innocent:

Metled tar on quite a few places - please keep your eyes open and avoid all dark black patches on the road.

Quite a few cages - holliday traffic and all.

apart from that weather is hot as and a swim will be most enjoyable :niceone:

Probably just sort it out tomorrow....

[Gwinch]

Has anyone offered to go TEC of the 'fast' group yet?

I'lll put my hand up. I'm assuming it'll be sorted once we split the groups up tomorrow morning anyhow as then we'll get a real feel for numbers.

[TOTO]

[Slyer]

Well I left today at 7am to go for a ride and just got home after an intense day of touring and beach riding.
Only binned twice!
See if you can figure out whats missing from my GPX tomorrow. :)
I'm bringing my flatmate on a VTR250 and his friend on a Hyosung with me.

Don't think you could have tested it at another time when there weren't girls in bikinis? Perhaps before hand, and then it wouldnt have seemed so seedy that the camera came out when it did.
No offense dude, but try going down to a busy beach and doing it, i'm sure you'll make lots of friends.

Good thing im comfortable with belly hanging out, hopefully thats not part of the footage that you're watching over and over!

[Cr1MiNaL]

Alright fuckers, lets keep this thread on topic. This is a biker forum, lets talk bikes.... got an issue with others or me, take it to the track.

Sounds like my RD will get some usage tomorrow... yippee, see how far out it can spot 'em. :yeah:

[Slyer]

Can't I say FUCK?!
Bike is in the workshop due to petrol leaking issues and I've only got an hour to fix it. It doesn't seem likely.
It's leaking from one of the petrol tank mounts so I'm going to seal it all up today, it must have been damaged in the bin.

Yeah but he broke it my riding like a champion and showin the dirtbikes how to do it, rather than through neglect or just, y'know, touching it with a spanner... or looking in it's general direction :laugh:

[Slyer]

[Gwinch]

Sorry folks, didn't make this one. Got a double whammy of a throat infection that's still lingering and a mate of mine had a nasty bike accident and is now in hospital so I'll be visiting him instead. Hope you all have a good time!

[DIN PELENDA]

I won this race, first one beck to Auckland and at work . Gutted that had to go beck to work and cant cary on with big boys to Opononi but me and birthday (biker) boy had good day . Thank you all . See you next time .

[Interceptor]

Thanks very much Toto for organising the ride today to Kai Iwi Lakes.

Seemed to work very well splitting the ride group in two. :niceone:

Awesome weather, I hope we have a few more weekend rides like this still to come.

[<G>]

Adding my thanks to Toto for organising this ride. I enjoyed meeting some KBers and hope to join in on another ride soon.
:2thumbsup: Toto!!

[MadDuck]

Yep a great day out with some great company, great roads and awesome weather.

Well organised TOTO ...top effort :clap:

[Gwinch]

... or not, after being told by my mate's parents that he's not up for visitors I salvaged what was left of the day and got to Dargaville before hitting the slow group coming home. Hi-jinx ensued. I blame Gremlin for being a bad influence. :bleh:

[Little Miss Trouble]

Thanks Toto!

I had a great time too

you two supplied some decent entertainment for the boring section of the ride :2thumbsup

Great ride, great swim, great weather, cheers toto

[Dakara]

Mean ride Toto, hot spots in the water were mean.... Im mega brown now ! Mean... Our group got baited HARD by 2 mufti cops, one of which we picked, the other who was behind us we didn't. Well I did, hence I got away... Jen any news?

Yea, sadly I witnessed the outcome... 2 bikes on the side of the motorway, probably about 400m apart, each with a mufti behind them :Police:

Aside from that.... awsome ride today guys! Great group to ride with! Shame I fell off the pace at the end, but the days riding 2 up had taken it's toll and the body was saying NO! :blank:

My poor pillion is absolutely stuffed! But she's a trooper, and loved every minute of! :2thumbsup (although requested future rides I bring her on be a tad shorter :whistle:)

Hope everyone got home in one piece.... some nasty melts out there.

[gunnyrob]

Finally home after 590 km & 12 hours. Good run down the twin bridges, I don't know what "big rocks on the road" Toto was on about, as the road was pretty easy. Got to Warkworth & there was chaos about the new tunnel, so did Woodcocks road on the way home as well!!!

Top day

[Madness]

What a day!.

Stinking hot. Awesome roads, apart from the liquid tar bit that nearly sent me off. No cops until Dargaville, then they started.

If you're the unlucky bugger who apparently also got pulled over on the Shore, please PM me. Maybe we could share a lawyer.

:innocent:

Hoped you checked your tyres after being with him as well! :whistle:

And Gremlin being a bad influence is like saying that most men have a pr0nographic memory, blardy obvious! :msn-wink:

[Dean]

sounds like it was a awsome ride wish i could of came,what were the highligts of the ride was it really a full 12 hour 600k trip

[MadDuck]

Heaps of cops - marked and undercover, and they are targeting bikers most of all. I have a written proof :innocent:


I guess some on the ride forgot this snippet of information handed out by TOTO?

[Little Miss Trouble]

Ooo thats mean! I'm sure they're already kicking themselves without anyone rubbing it in.





I have a newfound respect for Harleys after seeing that they can in fact squeeze through some tight spaces...

Yeh.....actually worse.....

We were the faster group. By the time most of the 2 fiddy riders arrived at the lake, we were all set to press on. Had nice fish & chips, Saw a big tree, a pretty harbour, a big traffic jam, nice people on motorbikes, a raving nutter of a skinhead in a car giving us the fingers 'cos we dared to overtake him, & lots of corners. Oh, and I didn't get a ticket.

[Xsasinator]

yeah thanks heaps Toto, good first group ride for me to go on, enjoyed myself throughly.

a skinhead giving you fingers,dam they can tend to get violent.i heard there where mufti cops,mind you theres mufti cops everywhere

[TOTO]

Thanks for a top day everyone.

Glad we had such a great day for a ride. Quite happy with the unexpectidly light traffic away from sh1 and general road condition.

Nice cruisy ride - no idiotic behaviour, no bins.

Water was absolutely brilliant - like a giant swimming pool - next time I'll bring a ball for the kids that didnt go in ze water.

Really happy to meet the people behind the keyboard.

Highlights:

Walking on the beach in full biker gear with helmets and everything and all people looking at us - lol

Badger and Fizbin definately take the prize for loudest and funniest laughs.

Rie taking some air time on the trampoline. - wow :niceone:

Gremlin with his stories and ever entertaining gravel eating, petrol station sliding katoom. He is also a cage scaring biker GIANT...man I need to take apic of this next time...

EatOrBeEaten - yr accent and stories are fabulous :killingme

Thank for Fizzy for the BBQ abd hospitality. Except he forgot to tell us that his house and street and driveway aint bike friendly with those crazy slopes :wacko:

Lowlights:

sorry some of you delt with the smurfs - it wasnt a guy in a unmarked Hyunday by any chanse, was it? But at least you didn't have to deal with ambos which would have been worse imo.

didnt get to see the new tunnel, but from what I hear it was not worth going trough the SH1 traffic just to see a tiney tunnel - they should have made it longerrrrrrrr.




So awesome stuff and thank for all of you who joined - really made my day to ride with all of you.

Happy chinese new year everybody :clap:

[DUCATI*HARD]

well,,,just another day at the office really,,,plenty of corners to carve,,,lots of straights to eat,,,and many a ks travelled,,,apart from the filth spoiling our fun!!!(fukwitts)twas a good1:Punk:NOT GUILTY BOYS!!!:Punk:

That was the prick that got me. BUT it wasn't anything I did. We passed some superintendent sitting in the traffic, he got his facts wrong, now we're being charged for something we never did :mad: You can bet your ass we're gonna fight it. (if any one can recommend a good lawyer it would be appreciated)
Spoilt what was otherwise a bloody good day, cheers Toto.

NOT GUILTY MYSELF :wacko:;):calm::beer:

to the boys that did get singled out, can you ask the nice officers to explain how they identified your number plates whilst you were admittedly on one wheel on the other side of the road? Nice 1 cops. how many black bikes were theyre .... 7 ? 8?

[CB ARGH]

Excellent ride! Me and dad split from the group and went our own way back from the lakes, we wanted a bit of a faster pace, somewhere between slow and fast, if you get what I mean, had to get back before 7. ;)

Bugger about the plods, and the bloody traffic before the TollRoad. Although it was excellent fun passing motorists who would have been sitting in that que for an hour (it was about 8 or so km long!).

Will be keen to join in another ride with you guys any time!

How about a cape to cape learner ride? Just kidding :sweatdrop

[U2SLW]

Hi all,

Was fun and very entertaining to meet you all and enjoy the nice ride. I look forward to more rides in the future.

Cheers

[TOTO]

[TOTO]

Lol! What's the story with the last photo?

what happens on a ride , stays on ride dude.

[The Joka]

Cheers all,

Was gutted I had to leave you in Wellsford.. Was thoroughly enjoying the ride!

Who ever was on the six infront of me you are hardcase to follow mate! Was bloody good to tell you the truth, was reasured by your wickedly loud exhaust I was excellerating in the right spots on the corner.. even if I had no idea what you where going to do next! hahahaha :headbang:

Cheers TOTO for organising it! totally keen for the next one.. :clap:

[Reido]

what happens on a ride , stays on ride dude.

thank god for that... *shiver* :sweatdrop

[Badger8]

Well i only just got home and showered now, damn that feels better! Thanks for an awesome ride Toto, a nice chilled out pace was just what i needed for my aching body :yes:
Was great to meet a few new people, and see many old faces out and about. Best day and night i've had in far too long.

Few highlights:
waking up on time and realizing i was actually gonna be up to a ride! :woohoo:

talking absolute rot over lunch in dargs.

Trudging down the beach in full bike gear, hearing "You're a bit overdressed" like 7 times in a row... "ONE MORE TIME!!! I DARE YA!!!" :laugh:

Swimming / wallowing. Water was a tad warm for cooling off, but was still bloody good fun wallowing round and talkin rot.

Poor Reido shivering away while the rest of us were nice and toasty.

Fizzy and m'self finally finding a match for our 'wit', and having a bloody good laugh all day. Damn those cool beverages went down well :apint:

EatOrBeEaten, i just love :love: that scottish brough, and your bloody fantastic sense of humour "Nah, he's a gentleman... He'd do it on my face!" Quote of the year! :rofl:
Hope the pace down the moron-way was alright, forgot when we set out you're flyin the L-plate. Cant believe you've only been on the bike a week and a half, you're doing bloody great :yes:

Fizzy again for the gracious hospitality as always, and braving the dodgiest sounding pub in west auckland to get us some beers. Well worth the effort mate :niceone:

And i take the idiot of the night award... After getting all of 5 minutes sleep all night, fizzy wanders out...
"You do realize that's a lazy boy right?"
"Huh?"
*Opens legs out, chair instantly becomes super comfy and i'm in heaven*
"OH!!! YOU TWAT!!!" :laugh:


Catch you all around real soon i hope! :sunny:

[madbikeboy]

I went as far as Wellsford, had to get home to get some shit done (shouldn't have bothered).

The highlight for me was hanging with Rie (who's an awesome rider), she's been hanging with GIJoe and GSXRTrace - I recognise the lines.

Second best highlight was the tunnel, in first gear at 14,000 RPM... And then going past the cagers, all 8-10 k's worth. That's right suckers, I was laughing at y'all!

[DUCATI*HARD]

NOT GUILTY MYSELF :wacko:;):calm::beer:

bad boys,bad boys,what ya gonna do???what ya gonna do when they come for you,,,:devil2:

THEY GOT NOTHING BOYS:niceone::devil2:

[Sharry]

Thanks TOTO for a organising a great ride :2thumbsup
It was fab meeting so many new and 'old' people off KB.

The ride was fun and I didn't notice any norty cage behaviours myself, although there were two young bikers entertaining the slow ride with their riding antics :ride: :lol: :ride:

The lake was so warm, I could tell by standing knee deep in the lake:)

Thanks to every one who's combined effort made for a fabulous day :niceone:

And to DH for the one mono I saw :drool:

Ten points to Fizzbin for firing up his Barby....... ooops sorry Fizzy, wasn't ment to let that out....... He quickly deflated her and lit the Bar-B-Que while we took over his deck :apint:

All over it was a great day and a nice evening to end it off.


My PC won't let me put up any pics, it is not in the mood for uploading :argh:
I will try again later
