now i is pissed!!! got there, no prob no one had collected it, went to kilbirnie library, ni freekn sd card reader, same story with te 2 internet cafes I tried and the airport, even after that stuffing around tag was still there, 4.45, started thinking I'll be lucky to beat bmwst if I dont post it soon, lane split the hell out of the way home (be highly prepared for the complaint thread about the rider on the snot green bike lane splitting on the hutt motorway) then get home to find hawkeye had already got it:crybaby:

Now you know how I felt at lunch time. Left work in the CBD after first checking it was still there. Quick ? blast up to Airlie rd and back again only to find that 3 mins after I left the CBD, it got posted. That's happened to me 2 day's in a row now.

So! As I came up to the roundabout after passing the windwand, a green snot bike went around the next roundabout in front of me and then turned left towards Mirimar rather than right to the airport.
I went and got the tag and did the same as you - A mad biker lane splitting obviously in a hurry. You could see all the cages saying to themselves - 'there goes Hawkeye, trying to get home to post the tag'.:lol:

I can't believe that I managed to leave work, grab the tag and get back home before someone else posted.

Actually got home before 6 i guess,computer was in use checked and of course it had gone.For teh record guys Dont leave work till 5,but there is a chance on fridays that i wont be at work.....
Re racin home...be careful guys,its only a game,i would absolutely hate it if someone had a accident cos of rushing home to get a tag posted.

Ok.
First off. WuZard, you are a legend. I've been out for about 1 1/2 hours and I'm frozen. To do 5 hours between 1am-6am last night...:wacko:

The original place I had thought of didn't pan out. The floodlight that would have given me enough light was out so I had to go looking for another tag.



I will give a small clue to this one but It shouldn't be that hard to find.

At one time, you would pass within 5mtrs of here!

I didn't race, because like you, I expected it to be gone. I lane split at a very sedate pace. Tonight there was an accident on SH2 which had the Motorway almost standing still just after Aotea. Made splitting very easy athough you do have to watch for the idiots who think the lane next to them is moving faster than theirs. Like you say, it's not worth taking risks just to get a tag. There will be plenty more to go for.

Hawkeye

I can't believe it's not been found yet!
I will check in again around 2pm and if it still not found, i'll add another clue.

And if it does go then you guys have a free rein on the next couple at least.
I aint got the bike with me and will be partaking in a 'few' sauces today so no riding for me.
I've just picked up my son from the airport as he is up from Christchurch for the weekend so will be spending time with him.
So unless a tag is within striking distance and I recognise it immediately, I'm out of the picture until Mon.

Have fun!

question for you all

if i was to go out and get a tag, then post up a pic of it like this

Bloody hell, now - not only do I have to get the photo ahead of someone else, but I now need to get home, unload it off the camera and then upload it to KB before someone else gets to the spot and uploads it ON-SITE.

Talk about making it a challenge!:shit:

ahh no,esp as you can get a module to add to our google maps which allows long lat,so even those with GPS could punch in corordinates and zoom off!

you and me both mate....we need to keep the tags south of Ngauranga from now on :niceone:

perhaps we need to make some rules?No remote uploading,only from home, libraries<strike> or starbucks?</strike>

Scout
10th July 2009, 12:56
It might be worth considering some upload ground rules, its is one thing to have to get to some of these remote locations and then all the way back home for the upload, but I think once people could do it on site it may well kill the game off pretty quick -I could be wrong of course, it has happened once before .....:spanking:

Told you it was going to be central. Easy reaching distance from Welly and the Hutt. Not quite close enough for the Kapiti crowd but my original (which will be used once I get a decent photo) is around the same distance for everyone.

Scout
10th July 2009, 15:45
Would have made a run at it, but got totally screwed up looking for the Red Roof i thought I saw in the original pic, all along i swore it was Pauatahanui because Hawkeye had said it would be within everyones reach - but I never gave that Gallery a second glance - DOH.
Hopefully Aero will have another up soon.:msn-wink:

igormortis
10th July 2009, 17:45
re remote posting, I dont have this capability but dont have a problem with it. to me its no different than if a tag is posted 10 minutes from you then you have an advantage over somebody an hour away
Good point. I suppose everyone has their own little advantages, be it location, time availability, local knowledge, willingness to ride all night in search of a tag (!), whatever.

I say we keep it simple for now and keep an eye on how it goes, rather than risking a great game by introducing too many rules.

Damn, Now here is one that i knew straight away unfortunately im pretty sure they lock the gates to this place after dusk - so heads up any of you who thought a midnight jaunt around a cemetry might be a goer. Im on a plane to the land of the unpalatable jaffa first thing tommorrow so I am not going to be able to give it a shot but will be interested to see how long it takes to be snapped up.
So Aero, you didnt go after the ADV Tag in the end ???, I was certain you would go after with an afternoons riding up your sleeve.

think a photo of the gates if they're are locked would suffice:niceone: we were seriously considering the adv tag, but was quite some km from the pauatahanui tag and neither of our wives would have been that hot on us rolling in too much after dark, besides after the last time I moved that tag dont know if it was worth the hassle

sorry guys i didnt see the rule change before i left to go our for our ride.
yes i did post it from mobile...
im home now so if you really want i will upload it to computer and post it again..yes and delete yr last post ! I'll be waiting !


I would love to get a tag - I have an idea where this one is but not 100% sureHow early do ya rise ?


Bloody hell, now - not only do I have to get the photo ahead of someone else, but I now need to get home, unload it off the camera and then upload it to KB before someone else gets to the spot and uploads it ON-SITE.
Talk about making it a challenge!:shit:Ummmm don't we all have to go home or to a library( ARRRRRRAGGGGG)(just wanted to add that)

Taylor-stace cottage Do you know how long that took to load on my PC ? 3 tags could have gone in that time !!!!


Told you it was going to be central. Easy reaching distance from Welly and the Hutt. Not quite close enough for the Kapiti crowd but my original (which will be used once I get a decent photo) is around the same distance for everyone.we wait for you to become unique !~


ok sorry about the wait, 4hrs and a 120k round trip later, (yeah we stopped to try a few different tags) been down a few roads less traveled today a and been places I havn't been in 5 or 6 years, I,m posting the new tag cause it was taken on my camera and its easier this wayAnd you came up with what most have who have visited from out of town ! The dead centre of Kapiti !


NOOOO its only a discussion!:clap:

I would have thought that this one would be gone by first light today! It appears we have a couple of new 'taggers' eager to join in. :grouphug:

I'm about to :

1) put the sons cage up on jacks to change the UJ on the drive shaft (well supervise both sons doing it themselves because they want to learn) - Quality bonding time.

2) whilst supervising them, give the Katana some much needed TLC as she has been neglected somewhat with chasing tags.

However, the CB is still available so any tag that is within striking distance is open season.

Double edged sword there WuZard. On one hand you will have the money for gas. On the other you will be stuck in work just like the rest of us. (knowing where the tag is but not able to go and get it) :bleh:

... go buy one...


WIN
Don't need one, got a BB. And yes I do use it like that, check to make sure
the tag hasn't gone yet before I head home. But so far I have resisted the urge to upload there and then on site as it gives an unfair advantage.

As for this tag, I might pass and save the gas (and brownie points) for tomorrow's BEARS ride (weather permitting)
So if there are any new taggers out there, go for it and get yourself on the scoreboard. :niceone:

Nope, don't know where that one is. Can't recall ever having seen those little buildings. Looks like some kind of military set-up?
Even if I did I don't think I'd be able to ride the bike.

First fine weekend day in ages so I thought I'd spend some time outside cutting down some trees. Bloody put my shoulder and neck out. Dognammed!
I hate getting older. Doesn't help not doing a physical job any more either, just a pen pusher now. So at the first sight of a bit of physical work the body goes "Oh no you don't!" and gives up the ghost.
See how we feel in the morning, can't turn my head right at the moment and don't think I could hold the weight of the helmet.

Now I know I have seen these, but buggered if I can remember where!

Spent yesterday afternoon chasing and hitting the little white round thing at Judgeford. All afternoon I could hear bikes going up and down SH58. When I played the two holes along side the road, there must have been 40 bikes went passed in that short space of time. Perfect weather for both. Shame the golf wasn't as good as the ride would have been.

Were the hell have I seen those little huts? :scratch: Never mind....back under the sons cage for me today.:bye:

Good onya for the honesty call there Devo

OK guy's let's make sure we keep the game honest.
The original rules were to date/time the photo's but we have been overlooking that part. Please ensure that you go get the tag AFTER it has been posted. - OK Clarification here - I meant go get the tag after it has been posted, not go get the next tag BEFORE posting the got tag - make sense?
I know alot of us are building up tag shot's to use but they should only be used to put up new tags, not to grab tags. - Just a reminder....(not that you need it):Playnice:

Hawkeye, I interpreted "no file photos" to mean just that, meaning the new tag should be shot on the day as well.
I have missed two tags( both to you I think ) by stopping to get the new tag on the way home before posting up the claimed tag.

Made the biggest sacrifice of all today. Pulled the Katana out of the garage. and was just about to jump aboard when I notice the slack on the chain. Went back inside to get the socket to loosen the wheel to tighten it when I heard the crash. The bike had rolled forward just enough to cause the side stand to fold. :cry::brick:

Well here you are. Now who is going to brave the elements to grab this? (I have a very good idea who will make a run for this first)

If you need a clue just ask.


other shots are the munted tail and the scraped decal (it looks like the panel is scratched but that's only dirt after the blast up the coast to get the tag back to Welly).
I think I got off lightly. The tail caught the wall with the pack rack bar hitting first which slowed the drop down hence the lack of damage :weep:

Epic sorry guys,

been super busy at work.. had a major fail/facepalm moment today.

i ordered some new server racks a few months ago, they finally turned up while i was out for my afternoon ride.
then when trying to get them upstiars to the server room...

they dont fit in the lift

the server room is 5 floors up....

ok, lets get some moving guys in and take them up the stairs.
nope that wont fit...

in the end, i have had to get a crain to get the racks onto the roof and into ther server room!!!

FAIL

on a brighter note

the tag!

Cloggy
13th July 2009, 17:31
No idea where that is, but man they have a serious problem with blowflies.
Fancy them flying in a swarm right in front of the sign which would give us clue.

So, any clues?

surely you jest.....a crane? why not just cut and reweld em....

13th July 2009, 19:31
crane costs $500

cut and re-weld would look bad and cost lots more than that

dont really know about clues... this one is in a part that everyone can get to

From Wikipedia:
This phenomenon is caused by the same mechanism that causes a runny nose when crying: tears (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears) drain through the inner corner of the eyelids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrimal_canaliculi) through the nasolacrimal duct (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasolacrimal_duct), and finally into the nasal cavity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cavity), where they manifest as a runny nose.
