Bye bye forever - Rimutaka summit cafe

[Griffin]

Big bye bye to the Rimutaka summit cafe... the saga of whether it will ever re-open has been decided by fire.

Now I wonder how a fire started in an unused cafe during the middle of a saga over who was going to pay for its demolition...?

Hmmmmmm :Pokey:

[Duke girl]

Sounds very suspicious as burning it down solves the problem with who was going to demolish it now doesn't it?
Such a shame it closed down in the 1st place as alot of motorcyclists who ride over the Rimas always use to use the summit as a meeting place and a place to rest for a short period before either heading towards Featherston or Upper Hutt.

[Hitcher]

The Summit Cafe was, at best, a two-day-a-week business.

There is no power or other services at the summit. Imagining that somebody could run a viable business up there has been long disproved as flightful fantasy.

Bikers may now have to ride, heaven forbid, down the hill to Featherston for a coke and a wee.

[smoky]

It's still an awesome ride :Punk:

[coffeejunkie]

End of an era for sure, being from wgtn i can't say that i won't miss the place, Used to have the best ice creams as a kid and then the boys who were there were a great bunch even if the coffee was alittle dodgy

[Headbanger]

Stopped there once about 5 years ago, It put me off ever wanting to stop their again.

[RantyDave]

Same here. I never really got how it was supposed to be a functioning business anyway. It can only open for two days of seven; the traditional clientele, bikers, are tight arses at the best of times; and everything that's about to be said about power, water, sewage etc. etc. etc. is basically true.

Besides, you ride up to the summit of the takas and the first thing on your mind is going back down the other side again 'cos it's great.

[Colapop]

Sounds like an opportunity to me... Anyone got a caravan cafe? Only need to tow it up there Friday night and back Sunday night... covers the two days nicely without the need for on site premises... Look to the positive I say!

And you can leave the 'staff' (missus) to run the place while you go ride...

[Insanity_rules]

RIP summit cafe, with your weak coffee, rain shelter, dodgy food but warm welcome. Even though it hasn't been like that for a while. Well I think a food caravan is a good idea.

[Lissa]

A bit of a shame it burnt down, theres been a cafe up there for about a hundred years.

[et al]

Sad end but not surprising. I was up there yesterday afternoon and noticed the place had been seriously vandalised and trashed so was not surprised to hear that it had ended this way. I think someone said they were going to use that area as a construction base for the Muldoons corner work - I hope they leave enough room for us to park and shoot the breeze, although once they start the road works up there I would be inclined to avoid that road anyway.

Very interesting. Were you still there around 3am? Did you happen to have marshmallows with you? :nono:

[Hitcher]

SWDC has trucks and a digger working up there at the moment. There should be nothing left to see by close of play today.

[CookMySock]

Remember the mobile espresso people will probably drop by if theres ten or twenty of you.

NO col ol son YOU manage the place. Tis such a pity though that as manager one needs to "run" down to wellytown regularly for supplies :devil2:

[BMWST?]

we used go up ther every weekend (sometimes twice a weekend) and would always stop at the summit twice each trip.We used to have a toasted sammie and coffee for a time but ussually not..It got worse and worse during that time( i wont say when but cb 900 gsx1100 cbx were the bikes we used)

[Madness]

RIP the Summit Cafe. Greater Wellington has lost part of it's modern heriatge IMHO.

The caravan will come, the toilets will go. Not such a bad result really.

Poor Harry, He'll have to work to replace the loss of revenue.

[325rocket]

apparently (according to the mayor of Featherston) the fire was started by a scottish motorcyclist that has mental issues.

could be any one of a number of members of this site

[mctshirt]

According to an article in the local paper food at the summit started in World War 1 when the good ladies of Featherston made sandwiches and a cup of tea for troops marching from the Featherston camp (on the first straight towards Greytown) to Trentham.

[_intense_]

even if the coffee was alittle dodgy

Much better stops for fine espresso in/around welly my caffeinated compadre.

[FJRider]

The last time I was up there was on a Benelli 650 twin.... back in 1982...

[nico]

heard dis morning so went up after work for a little look
this is what i saw AS MANY SAY PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPEN WELL IT DID.:banana: but hey how long before some random carvan/hot dog cart ends up there hmmmmmmmm they best have coffie and coke

[Ms Piggy]

Oooooo dear! I'd only gone there once and found it highly average. A coffee caravan would be a great idea I reckon. There will still be loos there cos they were separate anyway.

The loos may be in a seperate building .. but they don't seem to work without a generator ... which is why outside has become a urinal and is quite disgusting ... might be wrong .. about the generator but I thought they were powered ... also the pipes underground aren't meant to be fair cop.

Eeeewwwww! I didn't know that. I actually can't recall ever using them (maybe I blocked it our of my mind!), I usually (even with my nana bladder) try to use cafe loos cos they're are normally pretty clean.

Superb lack of barriers put in place around that site.

[Madness]

You're not wrong. It's the pumps that require electrickery.

Not only is there no mains power or gas, but no town sewerage system either. All that bad coffee & dodgy food over the years has been directly funding the poos & wees of the many, in more than just the usual fashion.

[nico]

Superb lack of barriers put in place around that site.
and so many more office councl worker standing around with clip boards lol fat bastards drove me crazy with them all driving up a 4x4 each going nana slow ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
car pool dick heads.:Offtopic:

[Hitcher]

The loos are going too. Their upkeep was supposed to be a condition of the cafe's lease arrangements with the Regional Council, which never happened. Electricity was provided by a generator at the cafe, as there are no utility services at the summit.

[my-bonaventure]

:argue: the bickering can now stop ........... it will always be a stop even without the cafe for me ......... holds lots of memories the Rimutaka Hill ........

[Fryin Finn]

Check the paper - Seems Gary McPhee is thinking about rebuilding

[Hitcher]

Gary McPhee doesn't have any permissions to rebuild. It is unlikely that he will get any until a robust business plan is submitted to the Regional Council, as a minimum.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I've known Gary for a long time...and if he gets his teeth into something and wants to make it happen...he will!

[James Deuce]

I've known Gary for a long time...and if he gets his teeth into something and wants to make it happen...he will!

Nice bloke, tough as nails, about to meet his toughest challenge. He will need to sink vastly more money into the project than he will see back in his lifetime.

It's 13kms of twisties between Kaitoke Gardens on the Hutt side, and Featherston on the other side. The scenic carpark has a place, but the filthy loos and dodgy hardly ever open cafe isn't a necessity, is it? On a bad traffic day it takes 30 minutes to traverse that distance, less than half that for the most Nana rider on a quiet day. If your bladder is that stuffed that you can't make that distance, and your thinking is so solidified that change makes you angry to the point of irrational behaviour then maybe bikes aren't the best place for your arse (generally speaking of course - not you Pete - you're one of those "flexible" motorcyclists).

[Monkeyboy]

Surely you Wellingtonians have a pie cart that can do the business in the interim?

[James Deuce]

Seriously, why?

[Mom]

He can fly too apparently :chase:

[FJRider]

Considering the length of time no business was operating on site there, gives rise to the theory that none will... at a profit...

Yes i tend to agree but god dam it they are all being closed down.....esspresoholic too has gone

Check the paper - Seems Gary McPhee is thinking about rebuilding

Its all irelevent though, sure its an end of an era but it was coming anyway, the plan to cut the top 3 corners of this hill is past planning and consent stage, id expect to see works starting there in spring, so your right he wouldnt get consent to build there because there wont be anywhere to build

RIP SUMMIT CAFE & RIP MULDOONS CORNER,

[Kenny Gun]

Lots of us motorcyclists are sorry to see the Cafe slip into the state it has
in the last 6 years.
Hats off to anyone that tried to save the place.
Too many people with self interest at heart to make the place work I think.
Councils all wanting it gone, Harry Memelink not meeting his power obligations.
It's a shame it's gone completely now. Mr McPhee is saying all sorts of thing's and really he's not doing himself any favours. He's not on the same page as the councils, or the people.
He'll not get re-elected so he's quitting. When the going get's tough the
weak run for cover.......bye bye Gary McPhee.

[Stormer]

Tidy the place up, put in some picnic tables and maybe some info signs...done.

Oh yeah, how many other mayors did ya see put in the effort and actually go up there to look the place over that day...?
Good on him I say.

[Kenny Gun]

Seems he's very quick to get in there, perhaps he might benefit most by the fire...... makes you think about true motives......... who stands to gain.....food for thought?

[FJRider]

when a crime is commited you look for who stands to gain.....food for thought?

OR... who has less to lose ...now...

[Hitcher]

when a crime is commited you look for who stands to gain.....food for thought?

Judging by the scale of regular vandalism at the summit, it was probably only a matter of time before the cafe copped it. I don't think that anybody had anything personal to gain from that building's demise.

[Weta]

[place to rest for a short period before either heading towards Featherston or Upper Hutt.[/QUOTE]

Bloody hell half way between Feathercity and the Hutt thats a rock and a hard place. My mates dad ran the place for a while in the 80's, hard place to make any money.
At least it will cut down on knobs coming up the hill (from Feathercity) doing right hand turns on the blind bit of the crest.

[crazefox]

Fuck the place its gone now who cares:jerry:

[sinned]

I am fascinated by how quickly (next day or sooner) the demolition of a burnt building takes place. A heap of junk can sit for years waiting demolition - until a fire and then it is gone before lunch!

[munterk6]

I have only been up there once, on the day I purchased the K6 from Wellington Motorcycles..Dec 30 '06! Ahhhh...a fine day it was too.:sweatdrop

[Crasherfromwayback]

He'll not get re-elected so he's quitting. When the going get's tough the

Mate...you obviously don't know Gary! Love to see you tell him that face to face!

[James Deuce]

Mate...you obviously don't know Gary! Love to see you tell him that face to face!

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want Gary to overhear so I started thinking about beer instead.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Mate...if you ever made the mistake of insinuating Gary was behind that...only food you'd be getting anytime soon would be hospital food.


I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want Gary to overhear so I started thinking about beer instead.

Hehe...he could follow it up with that one for good measure!

[Headbanger]

Mate...you obviously don't know Gary! Love to see you tell him that face to face!

What's he going to do?, Throw a punch?

Has anger/violence issues does he?

Or is that not what you were getting at?

[Crasherfromwayback]

What's he going to do?, Throw a punch?

Actually...no. He's generally really placid. He also happens to be one of THE hardest cunts I've ever met...and certainly isn't weak. He's just not the sort of guy you'd wanna call either weak or an arsonist.

By the way...pretty sure a while ago I read a post from you that mentioned shooting people or some such drivel?

You're a goober.

[Lissa]

Seems he's very quick to get in there, perhaps he might benefit most by the fire...... makes you think about his true motives.........when a crime is commited you look for who stands to gain.....food for thought?

Think you should think first before you accuse aye?

http://www.times-age.co.nz/

The local rag has an article about it.

[Kenny Gun]

If you read the thread no one is accusing him!
But, you know he is not a placid guy if you read the papers.
Anyhow the bigger they are the harder they fall.
I'm sure Gary knows that too.
I'd like to be there when he throws a punch, cause it will be his last outside of hospital.:devil2:

Looks a little like an accusation to me mate!

And for sure he's placid. I've known him for years...had many beers with him. BUT...like anyone...if you push the wrong buttons...he'll react.

[Kenny Gun]

He's a fukwit and a man with anger management issues it's a simple as that.
It's there in black and white almost everywhere he goes lately he's getting
in trouble with people, asserting his fat ass all over the place.

The point is simple, if he behaves like this then at some stage he will meet
someone that he should not have fuked with.

When that day comes, i will be there to remind him.

And if your his mate, you must be a much a fukwit as him with icing on the top.:bleh:

Your a hippocrite and spineless if all you can do is warn people of this chaps
staunchness and in the same sentence say he's placid.

Bollox mate, his time will come.

[Kenny Gun]

Only morons would hang out with Gary McPhee.
That's all i'm going to say further on the matter.
He's not worth the bandwidth!!!

Happy to say I'm a moron then mate. I'll have a beer or ten with Gary anytime. He's a good cunt. And you've obviously never met him.

You're a goober.

Can't say I have ever heard of him, Though If I had reason to... I'd call him anything I wanted to, without mindless crap about eating hospital food.

I just find it interesting that your throwing out vague threats on his behalf.

Yeah not my intention. It's more meant as I sure as fuck wouldn't say such things against the guy. You're more than welcome to say anything you like to him.

[Headbanger]

Yeah not my intention. It's more meant as I sure as fuck wouldn't say such things against the guy. You're more than welcome to say anything you like to him.

To be 100 percent honest, He sounds like a great guy to me.

Gary is one blardy awsome dude, he does a LOT for his town, and one hell of a lot for the motorcycling community. If you dont know him, then its your loss. If you do know him and feel this way.....its still YOUR loss.

he's a TOP BLOKE!

[Crasherfromwayback]

To be 100 percent honest, He sounds like a great guy to me.

He certainly is. Extremely talented in the art of motorcycle repair/engineering too.

That too.

[Madness]

I don't think that anybody had anything personal to gain from that building's demise.

Harry may have saved a few dollars, assuming he may have had to have paid for the removal of his building from Council land. I agree with you however, in that there's more than 99% probability that it was a random act of vandalisim.

As for the personal attacks & debate over Mr McPhee's good-cuntness, let's all move along now, there's nothing to be gained here.

[Kenny Gun]

I have met him.
He's a fukwit, end of story.
Drives a shitbox car as well.
Never seen him up the hill on a bike.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Never seen him up the hill on a bike.

That's probably because while you there admiring your bike he's probably riding his!

[Kenny Gun]

You are missing the point completely.
However, the Cafe at the top of the Summit----if anyone
can raise it from the dust it will be Gary.
He is passionate about it, all the best to him and I mean that.
It may help if he just settled down a little!!
Cheers all, had enough of this now! Too much fun for one day.

McPhee quotes to show YOU that you simply don't know the half of it.

McPhukwit chimes up as mayor to help the Penetito family secure Cafe.
They had already given money to Harry Memelink.

In quick succession (a matter of days/hours even) the following happens, make of it what you will.

"I want all the councils to support this familys effort, the Cafe must remain":Punk:
"She's fuk'd mate, beyond repair" :2guns:- sending the penetito family into ruin.
Announces to WRC exec on the 30th that he is going to the summit with his Brother to check the Cafe. - FRIDAY 3rd.
Seen explaining plans for a fence and security wire.
SUNDAY - Cafe burns to ground.
MONDAY - "bloody this bloody that......i was going into business to save the Cafe" :wari:
MONDAY - fight's with Shane Penetito at the Summit ruin.

Well.......you get the drift. You know nothing so shut the fuk up.:2guns::2guns::done:

[pritch]

ummm Who is Gary McPhee? :whistle:

[Elysium]

Well I decided to ride the the summit yesterday but saw that it was crowded by other bikers. Seems every man and his bike are going there to have a look.

[caseye]

Sounds like an opportunity to me... Anyone got a caravan cafe? Only need to tow it up there Friday night and back Sunday night... covers the two days nicely without the need for on site premises... Look to the positive I say!

And you can leave the 'staff' (missus) to run the place while you go ride...

Now there's a good idea if ever I heard one. Leaving the missus to run the café while you go riding I mean.LOL Ouch i can feel that hand on the back of my head already.
Pity about the fire, I've stopped there a few times while crossing over from Featherston(town full of rellies for me) to the Hut.

Ive known Garry since 1984 and i call him a good prick , why , cause hes never shat on me or vicea verca in buisness or private contact .
But by the sound of it , you two have an axe to grind ,
my reccomendation ......
go away and play together and stop being total idiots.

[Hitcher]

The dunnies are no more. They have ceased to be. They have run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.

Now all we have to do is to retrain the incontinent travellers of this world who like to shit in the Great Outdoors...

[Lissa]

Yup the protest they did last week sure worked! I heard that they were pulling them down today.

What the summit could have is a little coffee cart thing at the top?

[Kenny Gun]

I believe if U search TradeMe you will find a handy device known as the iPood.

NO, this is NOT A JOKE!

The question is will that stop people peeing there anyways ... the area is disgusting .. with people going behind the old loos to pee .. smelt sooo gross ...

Its only 10 mins to the nearest loo from the top at my pace .. so thats five for a quick rider!

Gary McPhee is the best Mayor that Carterton has EVER had!! where do YOU come from or what rock did you crawl under!! he is just what the town has needed and crime has gone down, we know 'cause we live here!!
As for the Top Of The Hill, if Greater Wellington would keep their nose out of Wairarapa business the world would be a better place!
he is passionate about the things he stands for and puts his money and time and effort into things, what about you? go crawl back under your rock!!

Really? What "business" do you suggest Greater Wellington keeps its nose out of?

No worries mate, I'm tired of subsidising you dope smoking dole bludgers anyway.

Haven't you got Motels to ruin?

[Paul in NZ]

Stop taking the kids on the bike. We've told you about that.

Give it another 10 or 15 years you young bastard... :angry:You won't find a 'lack of facilities' so amusing then!!! (especially if you still have that nasty coffee habit):sunny:

[Paul in NZ]

Haven't you got Motels to ruin? Um - thats wainuiamata mate.... besides, they already ruined all their own motels, they HAVE to travel...

I dunno, writing press releases maybe? :innocent:

[goldrock]

Only morons would hang out with Gary McPhee.
That's all i'm going to say further on the matter.
He's not worth the bandwidth!!!

Well *name removed* (Aka "Mr ACC bludger") You should stick to making T-shirts and ripping off the system so you can buy fuel for your Commodore and large motorcycle! Your unsolicited attacks on Gary McPhee shows clearly who has the "real anger management" issues ...Look no further than your mirror.

Your attacks on his credibility,show that you really personally dont know the man... but have relied on secondhand gossip from pathetic little people who most probably make a living under the table and rip the ACC system like you do with your T-shirt business. Perhaps you could rip off Scotland instead of New Zealand!!!!! As you leave please fly Air New Zealand...we need the funds.
As you put it, only "Morons hang out with Gary McPhee"....Well sir, I'm one proud Moron! having had the pleasure in knowing the man these past 20years.Ive travelled America with him,and have benefited from his generosity and good nature on many occasions.From his early invovlement in BRONZ and his continual involvement in Motorcycling in general and racing in the past, Gary is well known and regarded throughout NZ.
*name removed* , know your target and identify it before you go head hunting....you may find there is more support out there for Gary McPhee from many different quarters than you realise.........But of course you would say they are Morons wouldn't you.........Get a real job Kenny and spend less time on the internet attacking people you personally don't know:

[Hitcher]

Personal attacks on individual Kiwi Biker members will be infracted. Personal attacks on other individuals will be PDed.

This is a first and final warning.

Spoilsport, I thought we had the makings of the undercard fight for the Tua - Cameron event coming up here!!

Your absolutley right Murray, sorry to spoil the fun! But I believe "*name removed* the Terminator" has withdrawn and has locked his window and doors and refuses to wear the gloves

[BIG DOUG]

I meet gary 18 years ago and have found him to always be straight up and honourable,but there will alway be people who meet other people and not get on for whatever reason,this is human nature but as for me I have no problems with gary and as for the cafe never stopped there never wanted to I would rather get to the other side of the hill and stop at featherston or go out to the gladstone.

Bit late - I got red repped and I didn't attack ANYONE! Only Hitcher will understand the point in my post but someone thought I was having a go at someone - couldn't even understand who they thought I was attacking actually. So more shit flew AFTER the toilets were demolished, believe me!

[Kenny Gun]

I've had some fun on here but seriously there is a lot of bullshit being banded around as fact and that's how arguements start!
Hasta La Vista chaps and chappies, live life and enjoy.
I'm off for a ride in me BMW actually, and I have two cars and a MOTORCYCLE, just proving that you should not believe everything you read from Fukwits on this site.

[Headbanger]

Your the only one who has come across as a fukwit.

[BIG DOUG]

AHH as I understand it Gary is not standing for the mayoralty again and has stated this often,and if Rodney Hyde turned up at my place or called me I think a polite F**K off would get rid off that troll or is he a friend off yours?

:eek5: Here is a pic of the summit, taken on Saturday. :no:

Awww Crap, whats that TV doing there? :crazy: Is there reception up on the hill now? :D

[scuzeme]

:jerry:

Nothing wrong with a bit of verbal violence :yes:

[Radar]

Awww Crap, whats that TV doing there? :crazy: Is there reception up on the hill now? :D

Yeah, baaaad reception. Still no Vodafone also.

Here is another pic. One of the guys is a KBer - found that he lives over the fence from me on the next street.

Thats a better picture, can see more.... nothing! :(

[Radar]

Man this is a very entertaining thread

:jerry:

:corn: Entertaining indeed. :kick:

All the other forums I belong to are boring by comparison.

Some hard truths written in the above posts, sort of like the summit now: It is going to collect even more shit in the bushes than when the toilet block was there; that's the bare truth.

[mctshirt]

Tis Stormer so it is...has he still got the GSX?

[Radar]

Crikey, another KBer from Masterton. That makes about 5 that I know of. There are a few more scattered in the Wairarapa.

We organize a Wairarapa KB ride some day...



Tis Stormer so it is...has he still got the GSX?

Yep that's Stormer, and his GSX R1000 K7 was on the summit.

[Stormer]

HA!!
Yeah, that`s me.
The TV`s gone now though.

Stormer and I went on the KB Solstice ride last year - group from Wellington came through for a spin out to Mauriceville via Whangaehu then they went back via Martinborough after lunch at the Gladdy - could be a good excuse?

The next time you know of a similar ride, give me a nod and lets see if we can get other Wairarapa riders to join. I have been over the hill for Wgtn/Hutt KB rides, also over to the Manawatu. There will probably be a ride to the Tin Hut from Wgtn so we could join with that. I am going on a Manawatu ride on the 10th, and on Sunday 31 May I am organizing a ride through the back roads of Wairarapa for the Feilding Riders Club, having lunch in Martinborough - if it is OK with them I will try to get Wairarapa KB'ers to join.

There is a KBer on Colombo Road, Lissa / Mel here in Masterton, two other KBers in Carterton, and most likely a few more. Maybe we should post a Wairarapa trip on Meetings and Events to see who shows up...

[Stormer]

I did that a while back and got like zero replies.
Maybe now with more riders out there we can get something underway.

...I`ve kinda got an addiction with the Rimutaka hill going on at the moment, with mandatory runs up and down the thing every Saterday and/or Sunday...but I`m willing to detour.
