Good onya Fran. Now that it has been tagged TWICE, where was it?

Hori Bay.

Parking on the footpath looks like a ticket waiting to happen.....

Good on ya WW, has everyone else gone to sleep around here?
I was out with my little 3 wheeler this morn and tagged it too, I was gonna say "It's so easy even a baby could do it!"
Baby Bee was outta control after she'd chugged a double Red Bull (seeing how they sponsor KTM) she wanted to pull wheelies and do the half pipe at the skate park!

He's old now. Needs his sleep.

[warewolf]

Not sleeping... that's half the problem. Wee lad has been in hospital for more than a week, right when I've scored some actual work to do. :doctor::crybaby:

Was thinking today I might pass the tag on to Nordie or someone else who has time to set one?

I did the road on the ninja a couple of years ago so it's doable by road bikes but I wouldn't do it today, it's a little greeeeasy

[NordieBoy]

OKlay. I know where it is...

Dunno if I'm going to get a chance to get there tho'

[NordieBoy]

Believe it or not I was heading that way yesterday, but just couldn't recover from the motion sickness after riding over the Takaka hill and had to abort and go home for a lie down.:zzzz:

Hey Noride

Where is the next one!! :yawn: We're waiting . . . . . . . . . . .

[NordieBoy]

Oh bugger! I've still got to do this one!

[NordieBoy]

OK. An easy one here.

Even a road rider should be able to get it.

[klxmerida]

TAGGED.

Next one will be a real off road one.

[warewolf]

So, where is it??

[Willdat?]

So, where is it??


Looks like top of Champion Road to me?

[NordieBoy]

Yep .

[NordieBoy]

W....a....i....t....i....n....g....

[Ms Topo]

We're still waiting when is the next one going to be up!:wait:

[klxmerida]

Ok here it is, I know I said it was gonna be an offroad one but the camera had run out of batteries, which I didn't find out about until I went to take the photo. So I went back out with new batteries some where closer to home.

[Padmei]

Thats a nice looking KLX there pal. Put up a couple of shots of it. 300cc? Whats it like on dirt & the road?

[klxmerida]

A few more pictures. On the road it will cruise at 110kph happily, passing I need to be accelerating out of a corner or changing speed zones ie 70-100kph. Or get a decent run up. Twisties are good fun such an easy bike to throw around. Off road, tires are a big let down, back is very close to bald down the center strip. Gets up any fire breaks I want it to in Sharlands and Mungatapu easily.

Shinko 244 rear?

I'd go Pirelli MT21 front and on that lightweight bike it'd last forever and another 244 on the rear.

Nope, rear is Bridgestone Trialwing 302. Wont pass next warrent by the looks of it. Whats difference between it and 244?

[Padmei]

We're gonna have to hook up for a ride sometime KLX. I'm on a mission to ride every bike in NZ.

[klxmerida]

That could be arranged. What have you got for me to ride though??

[Padmei]

I can get my hands on an old DR650. Don't look much but the owner reassures me he's replaced everything but the old tyres.



Nordie what ya doing on the weekend:devil2:

Back on topic.........

Went for a cruise to find the tag but all the bloody houses look the same up Panorama Drive, Highview Drive and Tasman Heights. To cut a long story short, I couldn't tag the bugger exactly, because the views all seem similar.
I did find a nice short dirt track dropping down to Marsden valley and another dropping down from Princes Drive to Washington Valley. Better not make a habit of doing those ones tho! :devil2:

[klxmerida]

I do the track up the back of Panorama to Marsden Valley whenever I go up there. You are on the right track. Look at what is close rather than the view.

[klxmerida]

Oh come on someone go get it. Its not that difficult is it? Do you want a clue? I'm getting restless cos I want another one to find.

[NordieBoy]

That's a nice little track dropping into Marsden Valley.

[NordieBoy]

You'll probably be wanting hints next...

:whistle:

[Ms Topo]

You'll probably be wanting hints next...

:whistle:

Hint plz :banana:

[klxmerida]

I have a theory where it might be... I'm probably wrong though.

[NordieBoy]

An apple purchase.

Hmmmmm, not New World, Woolworths or Pak n'Slave carparks.
Not Stoke Fruit and Veg.
OK, must be Appleby River then.

TAGGED THE BUGGER.
Always nice to ride midweek, no-one around.

That riverbed is always changing it's route, nice little drop off into the river now at that spot.
Reminder to one-self....DON'T ride the riverbed shallows when the whitebaiters are there, they don't like it too much, snigger. :doh:

Clue.... I can see Warewolf's house from here.
Use your imagination/ride savvy or Google Earth

[NordieBoy]

Google Earth is my friend.

[CrazyFrog]

Well done Nordie, we're gonna have to stop meeting like this......;)
Shouldn't you be fixing computers during the day? I want your job , lol.

This one was taken in no mans land off a 4wd track up Princes Drive, you have to look hard for the start of the track, popular with mtb'ers though.

Who else is playing this game?
Where are we riding to next, huh, huh, c'mon post another pic soon.

[NordieBoy]

A nice easy one...
We're headed off to Cardrona 'till next Wed.

Hint: The previous photo was taken at 3:44pm...

[CrazyFrog]

Dare I say it..... ummm, tagged.

Not quite the same angle, but at least I got my bike in the photo.

Next tag will be somewhere a little further afield. Gimme a day or two.

[Woodman]

Where is that?

[CrazyFrog]

Where is that?

See post #564.

Narrow track drops down off Princes Drive, council (I think) block of land which overlooks Hospital and Washington valley.

Only good for a 1 minute dirt track blast before you reach the end..... but it is right in town:2thumbsup

[klxmerida]

Pretty sure its been a day or two or five?

[Ms Topo]

Where is the next one . . . . . . . you have to give us people who work normal hours a chance:scooter:

[topo]

:Oi:Common man:wait:

[CrazyFrog]

Righto bitches, you've asked for it.
As I said, this one is a little further afield, so riders who restrict themselves to the city limits need not apply.:2thumbsup:

Probably best to do this on the weekend as there is limited access during the week.
Yes, that's Tapawera and Mt Arthur in the background, so this was taken somewhere higher around that area.
The closest similar picture, not neccessarily the exact spot, will win.

Time to hit Google Earth again boys.:whistle:

Anyway i fell off on the previous two attempts at the hill, on the third i made it up (albeit with some minor "issues" at the top) maybe we need to arrange an adv bike lap of the track in the near future?

[Padmei]

damn thats a good looking bike.

[JATZ]

I think I's close enough, so here's the new tag, a nice in and out the same way ride, the first gate you go through is immediately after a corner, so kind of sneaks up on you.Ignore the "private property" written in biro next to the second gate, the road/track is public 'till it finishes at the park boundry IIRC

[toddyz]

Just found this game, great idea, I don't get out on the bike much but am keen to join in, only problem I don't have a clue where most of the tags are so thought someone should start a google map like the other games so we can track where we've been. Also gives me and excuse to get out on the bike to check out old tags if I don't know where the new one is.
I'm keen to help set up the map if needed just need to know where they all were / are.

It was green wasn't it ? perhaps it's hiding in some long grass. Another reason to not have a green bike :girlfight:

[klxmerida]

Yes it was green. it had a black seat and mirror though so only got lost at night and it was neither stolen or misplaced (atleast then theres a chance of getting it back) I got hit by a cage driver (aka car) The damage to the car first... a broken indicator lens (drivers side) The damage to the bike... bent front disk, bent brake lever, dents in the fuel tank, alll of which is no biggie and being a trail bike it rock solid so no problems on falling over but upon impact instead of the forks bending like conventional ones would the USD's are so rock solid that the force of the impact was transfered to the frame, just back from the headtube, infront of the fuel tank. Making it a write off needing nearly $5000 of repairs on a $3000 bike. Half of which was for a new frame.

Im not sure, insurance company took it when they paid out, say it for tender in the newspaper but i doubt anyone bought it so probably went to the wreckers :bash: :crybaby:

Frame was shot but the rest would be useable. Motor had less then 1000km on new oil filter, valves clearance done just after that.

For the next few weeks anyway.

[Woodman]

Running out of time before chrissy so just took a picture where I wash my bike.

[warewolf]

The Tag Map isWell done, that man! :woohoo:

[JATZ]

Top effort Nordie. Get y'self a :apint:

[Woodman]

Bloody clever indeed.

[NordieBoy]

I want to put one up in one of the huts up the Maunga or Hira or a shot of the DR up to the top of the wheels half way across the Aorere :D

Something suitable for the roadbikes too...

[JATZ]

Workin this week, so it'll have to wait for the w/end :doh:

[JATZ]

Here 'tiz, road bike friendly too. But we took the scenic route :clap:

Be a good one for you Padmie

[warewolf]

Hah! Last time I saw that sign, it was lying in the grass... bit like Padmei's bike today (the photographers' curse :cool:)

[Woodman]

Did you see a pair of sunnies lieing on the ground by the sign. Cos they mine.

[NordieBoy]

Here 'tiz, road bike friendly too. But we took the scenic route :clap:

Did you happen to do the Dry Weather Road too?

[Padmei]

OK tagged, bagged, flagged, sagged & lagged

http://i710.photobucket.com/albums/ww103/padmei_crayfish/Molesworth%20ride%20with%20Daz%20xmas%2009/DSC01850.jpg

Give you a hint - its a signpost along the Molesworth that's been run into. Yep cryptic I know but gotta help you infirms out

[NordieBoy]

Only slightly cheating in a time travelling sense...

Going to be harder to replicate that one if they've fixed the sign :D

[toddyz]

You could always push the sign over again :innocent:

[CrazyFrog]

Tagged this one yesterday, they've straightened the sign up and she's nice and solid again.
Location: Corner of Taylors Pass Rd and Awatere Valley

[toddyz]

So a week of fine weather later and still no new tag?

[Genie]

Hey guys, while you're out riding and playing can you be on the lookout for a bright orange little toyota stationwagon, my friends'neighbours' son has been missing since last saturday and he liked to go drive hard on gravel roads. Thanks. They have been searching all week and have had the helicoptor on the job but nothing. Thanks.

[NordieBoy]

Leo Lipp-Neighbours. Toyota Corolla stationwagon, registration NQ7258.

[Padmei]

Yeah I was thinking about that one when I saw a bright orange station wagon today by Traf st roundabout. It was driven by teenage girl but don't think it was Toyota. Was a funny looking thing - the car not the girl.

[NordieBoy]

One, won, too, two, tue.

[JATZ]

YEAH ! c'mon frogy man, we had a deal....... right :scratch:

[CrazyFrog]

Jatz, it was a bit wet when I came up thru the Rainbow so forgot to get me camera out......

I could post one from the Clarence, but then you'd all have to wait another month to tag it.
Wait till Sunday fellas and I'll get my shit together.
Been a little busy on the home front, hanging off scaffolding with a paint brush. Stink job in this heat....

[JATZ]

When were you in the Clarence ?

Yeah, figured taking snaps wouldn't be high on the agenda coming through the Rainbow

[CrazyFrog]

When were you in the Clarence ?

About an hour before you fellas, with another guy from Nelson who I work with, both on light trailies.
We were on a mission to do the whole lot and set off early to try and avoid the heat of the day, but lost some time looking for my GPS that dropped out of it's cradle..... it's a gonner, so insurance is sorting out a new one. Camera lens is sticking too after problems with mucho dusto.:angry2:
Stayed with night at motel with families and took the bikes on the ute, ahhhhh, all the comforts of home.:2thumbsup

[Woodman]

Can't you check the co-ordinates on your gps to find where it is?

[CrazyFrog]

How's the shit going?

I see the scaffolding is still up.

[CrazyFrog]

Yep, I've been a bit distracted lately, family holidays and other jobs etc, not much riding goin on.
Went out for a quick blast today, so here ya go.
This one is nice and close to town.

[Padmei]

Hey that's my backyard!!!

[NordieBoy]

That's not a DRZ or 640A...

[Woodman]

Nice new bike there froggy. I hear a rumour that another nelson kber has just got one as well. Is this true Fluffycat?

[CrazyFrog]

Yep, 640A has gone to new owner in Christchurch, DRZ will be gone soon too.
Decided to go light and fast with short distance road riding compromise. Road legal it is, but a roadie it ain't.

[NordieBoy]

Fluffycat will have to rent storage for all his bikes soon.

[warewolf]

Okay, if no-one else can be bothered...

Where is that WW?

[CrazyFrog]

Good on ya WW.:niceone:
It's called Harris Hill, a sealed (driveway) to a few farm houses just over the ridge above Wastney Terrace, Atawhai.
Jesus Padmei, sharpen up son, this one was at your back door.:2guns:
Blink and you'd miss the driveway turn. Google Earth on full zoom will give the game away.

[NordieBoy]

off wastney tce

[Padmei]

It's a private driveway so tootle on up but please treat it with respect. For a better view go up the top of Todds Valley rd- Paratane Rd. You'll be up in the clouds.

Cheers R

[NordieBoy]

Okay, if no-one else can be bothered...


Aaaaaannnnnddddd.....

[warewolf]

Aaaaaaaannnnnndddddd unless I feel a desperate need for an evening ride this week, next one's not likely to go up before the weekend.

(unless I do like some other slackers on here, and publish a 'file' photo)

Have a look at the NZ wide tag over in meetings and events if you want to go for a ride

Cool! I know where that is too. Sounds like a great idea.

[Padmei]

Hey WW I can only get a little creditcard size image.. . Ah don't worry I remember some don't work on my laptop for some reason.

I'll just squint..... a bit more...

[CrazyFrog]

What's the matter with your guys, ya all gripe WW is taking too long to post, then when he does, ya go to sleep!

Had a mission this morn to pick up some 2-stroke oil from Supercheap in St. Oke (uuugghh, shudder, the 'burbs) so fired up my little red Bambino, visited the shop, then cruised out to the tag site (at full 49cc power I might add), via the scenic route.
I chose to go in disguise so no-one might recognise me on the scoot, but hey, my shame has no limits, so who really cares. Besides, this scoot is a weapon, will top out at nearly 80kmph after I removed the restrictor in the pipe. Not a bad little ADV machine either, might fit some mini knobblies to it and do the Rainbow next summer for a laugh.

Tagged the spot, then set about finding something a bit more challenging for little Bambino.......

[Willdat?]

oooo cool, my intro to the world of two wheels was a Hyosung Rallye SF50 with knobs, only 70km/h when derestricted though :(

Would you be worried about chassis flex off road?

[CrazyFrog]

Gravel, dirt, mud, water courses, must find fun....

These voices in my head are driving me crazy, but what am I to do, I've got me leg slung over Bambino, and the tar seal is not doing it for me..........

With Bambino on autopilot, we veer off Marsden Valley road and take to the skyline, seeking new heights of scootering freedom and adventure. It leaps over the muddy ruts and rocks with ease, even with my best all purpose tyre fitted especially for the trip, bah, who needs them fancy Michelin or Pirelli knobblies.
Before I know it, we'd knocked the bastard off, cresting the summit on Panorama Drive and back onto the mediocrity of paved road once again.
Me thinks the hooded avenger and Bambino are going to have a few more adventures over the winter

Go on, do it, if scoot can, you can too. :Punk: No prizes for difficulty, someone please just go get it.
New tag is pic 015.

[CrazyFrog]

oooo cool, my intro to the world of two wheels was a Hyosung Rallye SF50 with knobs, only 70km/h when derestricted though :(

Chassis flex! Bro, it's a Suzuki, not a Hyobag! Handles good too, but could do with some Ohlins on the back.

[Willdat?]

Poor old Hyobag... so what actually is it? It doesn't look like an SJ50 to me!

[CrazyFrog]

It's a Suzuki AY50, air cooled with a whopping 2kw of available power at your throttle hand, but they do a AY50 watercooled as well, which are gruntier again.
There are a couple of these in Nelson, but generally not too common in NZ, as the SJ's were about $1500 cheaper.

[Padmei]

That is a pretty pic - for the tag. The one of the hooded avenger is kinda disturbing...

[NordieBoy]

Looks like the Suzi crapped itself getting there too...

[Woodman]

What's the matter with your guys, ya all gripe WW is taking too long to post, then when he does, ya go to sleep!
..

Was thinking the same thing, and woulda done something about it, but didn't know where it was. Where was it?

[NordieBoy]

Yeah, where was it?

[CrazyFrog]

Looks like the Suzi crapped itself getting there too...

No f...kin way man, this scoot will never die, cos it don't have a 3rd gear!:2guns: .
Don't make this a Mod's Vs Rockers debate.

Location is up near end of Marsden Valley beside entrance to Barnicoat Hill walkway. MTB'ers will know it well.

[NordieBoy]

Got the bugger...

207191Well I didn't know where it was but the lil girls saw it & recognised it. Next thing I heard the bike start up & when I ran down the driveway the lil girls had Gonzo already sitting there waiting

http://i710.photobucket.com/albums/ww103/padmei_crayfish/DSC02054.jpg

I just learnt how to upload pics without using stupid pbucket

I'm not sure if I'll be riding next weekend so may have to use the power of the time machine to get the next one

[Woodman]

So wheres Gonzo??? All I see is this white bike, definitely not Gonzo. Gonzo Gonzo, oh Gonzo where are you.

[Padmei]

I don't know when Gonzo will be back onthe road so I will pass the tag over to anyone thats out riding. Any takers?

Nice.did you get in from the top way or thru sharlands?

[JATZ]

Okay Jatz you had better untie the boy and give him his bike back .

Hell no.... I'm havin toooo much fun on it, it really is a great bike, just needs a bigger tank and a few more ponies, although the guy on the duc I hurtled past on Q.C. drive prolly wouldn't think so, outbraked him at the end of linkwater straight and flew round the 45 bend with my knee down, didn't see him again till canvastown where he went past.


Nice.did you get in from the top way or thru sharlands?

Came in from the top of Whangamoas, got geographicaly challenged a couple of times trying to find my way to the Maitai, but I didn't mind.
I did come up to casa Pamei but didn't stop long enough to see if anyone was home, Gonzo's looking quite stylie now btw

[NordieBoy]

So the race is on to Boiler Gully.

[Willdat?]

Can't find Boiler Gully, talked to 4WDer mate and he doesn't know either. I'll just have to wait until the next tag comes along to show off my new toy.

If anyone sees a GN250 stator cover let me know as I've found yet another variation between the DR250 and GN250 engines...

[NordieBoy]

Have a search for the GeoCache "Boiling Point" then...
