Here is where we believe it was shot from, labye at bottom Puk bay hill pointing at the bluff to the south, about 100m from centenial highway monument (posters call) best we could do in dark, no starlight or moonlight.

Assuming we close enough or rewarded for honest effort at 12am, next post has noo one (pending confirmation)

thats where i though,either from the one at the bottom of the hill or at the "premonument" layby

[KapitiLizard]

Devo can confirm this 100%, but I believe it's taken from the south end of the second layby area coming from the South, i.e. the one where the monument current sits. From the 1st layby area at the botton of Pukerua Bay Hill you can't see some of the noteable landmarks (rocky outcrops) in Devo's tag

You can check this against the pic I took this morning if you are keen

Early players scattered the tag far and wide, hence the Hutt and Welly stats. It even went over the rapa a few time (from the coast I might add). They were never dropped just around the corner from the previous one.

But the main thing was that the tag didn't stay in the same location. It used to go from Welly to the Hutt and across to coastal.
Now it moves around local so that it is a fast game. The whole point was to ride to get the tags. File pics were used in an extreme case when you didn't have time to ride to get the new one. Now almost every tag is a file tag, (which happened to be 200mtrs from the previously got tag 3 days ago).

And yes, I am guilty in the past of wanting the next tag to go up quick. But that was just good old fashioned humour.

so.....Take one sharp knife and one tub of salt.

Proceed to make one long incision across chest and pour salt.

[Sketchy Snr]

The game sure has changed from the early days. I've had to learn to change with it and enjoy it when i can play.

that is spot on.According to sat view, the pic was taken 654 ft south of the monument, but I arn't into splitting hairs. :)
here is the non zoomed version of the pic I posted which shows the exact location clearer, which of course is why I cropped in the first place

[KapitiLizard]

If people are keen and prepared to take the game further afield, e.g. over the Takas I am happy with that. It might slow down the tag rate, but while the weather is nice it will get us out into the country

[StoneY]

OhI can send ya allllllll over the 'Rapa Lizard, hehe even have a few 'Buell' tags from a day on my mates XB9 (hehe like that BeemA?)

i diont quite understand the analogies here Kenny.The whole rythym of the game has certainly changed,and i think is a victim of our own enthusiasm.I do not for a minute beleive that this has been a deliberate process.There is so much competition for the tag now that when i go out to get a tag i go straight there and straight back.I do not go out until i am 100 percent sure where it is.So I get the tag and i come straight back home.If i see a likely tag i grab it but it is more than likely on the flight path.The reason for that is obvious,any delay and the tag will likely be gone.And humour or not there is definite expectation there will be a new tag posted straight away.I would like the game to be more relaxed but to date there have been 47 players.Even with a group of 6 or 7 people looking at the thread at one time you know there is going to be competition to to get the tag. How do we resolve this?.I dont know(well i have some ideas) burt until then i am playin the game as it is now.If you want a tag in the rapa then do it.If it means we have to wait half a day so be it.The days of 10 players spread between wellington tawa porirua,lower hutt and wainui ,with three more on the coast have long gone.

[Scout]

There are ways that we can force the game to change more to HE's liking, I personally was more than happy to play as I can where I can without imposing more rules, but if the time comes where fair game play seems lost then I'm sure we can find a solution.

All I am saying is that the game was meant as a way to get out and ride. The tag used to move from Plimmerton to Mirimar and then maybe the Hutt and then Welly. What is happening now is that it is more important to get the tag count up and your name at the top of the leader board. To achieve this, the tag is being moved local so that people can get 2-3 tags in the same day without having to ride. Tags are being placed so they are instantly recognisable to the local so they can then wait for the next one. I know Cloggy as well as myself used to enjoy the challenge of the search as much as the ride.
Whilst I think it is brilliant the amount of work you have put into the stats sheet, it has driven the change in the way the game is being played. That is why I removed my tag count from my signiture. Everyone is focused on the stats sheet rather than just playing the game. The recent heated discussion about the Tawa tag is a pefect example of this. Argueing about whose tag it was and who got the best pic!
I think that the mobile upload has also chased a number of people away from the game.

[Bald Eagle]

It is interesting that the game has evolved and IMHO has been the 'victim' of it's own success with new players joining in a climate of 'competition' for tag count. I agree that when I first encountered the game the real challenge was identifying the tag.

The changes in peoples life/schedules locations has influenced where people are tagging and when. Personally I enjoy a tag as an add on to my daily ride, and don't have the budget for recreational longer rides for tags further from home, however more important is that enough players stay engaged in the game to keep it vibrant and challenging.

We don't need anymore rules, the ones we have are perfectly adequate and the only thing we need to do IMHO is to discourage the routine use of file pics. This will slow the game down. It will also mean that rather than pressure to get a replacement 'close and local' time can be taken to ride for a new tag.

Rant over.

[ajturbo]

i find the surching the most "charter building" thing i do when looking for a tag... i even have been known to pull hair out....
even swear at the puter for not know what i wanted to find... but the enjoyment to final find it... then go and get it, is great fun, unfortunately i have been busy/lazy lately...

as for the mobile up-loads.... i am in two minds over this....
i do not have that sort of phone, therefor i could miss out... but hey, i would have had a ride!!

and i know of a couple of good ones in the rappa that will take some finding....(unless Quassi knows i've taken the photo.. lol)

I reckon I can claim it. But until confirmed I won't mention location although it is pretty obvious.

fraid so mate,you tagged it but did not post a pic with your bike in the picture...i dont understand though,did you go back for the second pic or
did you upload the wrong one.?

#1 - Find the tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.

#5 - Your bike has to be in the TAG picture

As far as I'm concerned, kapiti lizard earned the tag as he was well ahead of me as I did a remote upload.
We all know mr woofy and his helmet.
Its not my call, but I am happy for K L to have it as he would have been there 30 mins before me.:)

well sorry mate but we only have 5 rules,and he has broken two of em....its yours.We have enough discussion about more obscure ones than this.Carry on Mr devo

[KapitiLizard]

Yeah, I think that goes well beyond my bravery level. But BE might be prepared to do it with his bike at the moment ;)

I still believe KL deserves this, but I've been overuled, so here is the nooey.

KL should have a good shot at the next one, unless the Senior comes out of Hiding .......... what we need is some Harly bait ......

Don't look at the time stamp on the photo it’s not correct, I got to Muri Station about 5mins after Sketchy Snr posted his Tag, I took the pic later as I was killing time wait for Sketchy Snr new Tag, I only uploaded the pic after I when home.

The original also contained enough of the web address for the same result. Standard specs show 204k dry/ 236k wet weight. I suspect there may be some variance on your, what sort of sump gaurd is on it ?

Awesome site. Prolly more realistic than most. It lists my Daytona at 167kg with a top speed of 249km/hr which is more realistic than Triumph's own figures where they reckon it will top out at 260km/hr.
Guys at the flying quarter got very close to the stated 249km/hr mark on these.

Found a bike it doesn't list, my venerable little Yamaha Scorpio.
