Well done that man, and not the easiest to have ever been posted either - not to mention the fact that you took on the elements in the name of scoring a tag - Now, what have you got lined up for the next one.

Anyone got ideas for having a statistics sheet somewhere that is updateable.I have got a liitle excel sheet that we can use but its not updateable unless i remove it as an attachment and re attach the new one.I deally it would be something allied to the map but just a web based sheet somewhere would be cool

Bugger! I was heading to get this earlier this morning when I came around the bend at the bottom of the Gorge and the bike started spluttering. Dropped the hand down and switched the lever over to reserve.
Got through the interchange but the bike still didn't feel right. 200 meters later, I ran out of fuel.
2 Bikes stopped (didn't get the name of the first guy but if you're on here - thanks) Also :niceone: to DODGER who also stopped to check I was OK. (Her indoors arrived a minute later with the can). Also had a chick in a cage who stopped and offered a sit in her car until my wife arrived.
I don't understand why the reserve never kicked in so will have to lift the tank tonight to see if there is a kink in the reserve pipe. - Not happy :angry2:

Nah! I've started using the CB for commuting. That was the intention anyway when I first bought the Katana. One for commuting and one for play.
Problem is, everytime I opened the garage and had to make a choice, the Katana always won. I have now managed to wean myself off using the Katana for the short trip into Welly.
The CB is also a lot narrower, good for splitting when the traffic is heavy.

Yeah, that was me! She's a bit rough at the moment unfortunately. I'm considering putting a dirt bike front end on it so I can take it off the tarmac.
Oh, and this tag has me stumped! //edit: Damn, I just clicked to where it is! Light is fading fast though.
Laxi
17th July 2009, 17:34
ther'll be no way of getting that tag after dark, was the photo taken on public land? just asking cause I think I know it but cant find where you'd get that view without going on restricted land or gated area
spacemonkey
17th July 2009, 17:37
There is a gate but just ride between the concrete blocks, heaps of room but too small for a car.
oh and watch out for broken glass, some twat had smashed a couple of bottles on the ground. :angry:
*edit* and yes it is public (council) land. ;)
*edit edit* pretty sure the building in background is lit up at night for the obvious reason too.......

yeah I am a bit dubious about what the "locals" would make of lights in a gated area, and I,m pretty sure its d.o.c land not council bmwsts call I guess but I think the blocks by the gate should suffice
EDIT already got a photo from the blocks facing the other way, have to make a trip back there to get a new 1

mt crawford prison, this was as far as I was going to go as its a correction department area and dont know how they feel about bikes running around in gated off areas in the dark:sweatdrop its the old road by the "authorised vehicles only" sign, I will wait conformation before posting new tag

and some more taken in the same spot last week
spacemonkey
17th July 2009, 21:44
Yes that is the spot Laxi :woohoo:
And No it is not DOC land, I know this as myself and mates have had to ask permission from the owners of that land to build a mountain bike track.... It is council land, and the concrete blocks were put there to stop illegal dumping. It's the same reason behind that grassy area being fenced off. I'd swear it's practically commercial scale dumping.
We hauled out several rubbish skips worth of garbage already from around that area with more to come. :angry2:
Locals won't mind less you were planning on doing a few donuts. ;)
Laxi
17th July 2009, 21:49

Yep - I'm addicted and i just lurking onthe sidelines. Just know that when I have to ride over from Marty, I havent got a hope in hell of getting a tag . However.... should someone be brave enough to venture furhter north into my neck of the woods - watch out. :yes:

Ok. So this one is a bit of a challenge. The location is easily seen in the satellite view. Street view only goes part of the way to the location.
One word of warning.... The road to get there is Tar seal all the way BUT there are a couple of obstacles that need to be negotiated to get this tag. (The first of which can be seen in street view)
The secret to negotiating them is to take them at normal speed (with no lean).
I took the Katana over them so it is not hard. Just be careful.

I'm waiting to see if we get any New players from the coast after this one - of course The Welly boys are probably planning a full scale assault on this by now.
I get the feeling we may see a trend with this game - where it bounces between the Hutt and Wellington during the week nights and then gets dragged further afield for the weekend plays.

Sits back beside the fire wondering if he should crack another beer and watch, or start skulling coffee lol
