Bottom of the North Tag-O-Rama

[Paladin]

I think if the SI guys are havin fun, then we should too & maybe a little healthy(!) competition for the best/most tags between them & us - just for fun!

Same rules/guidelines as Nordie posted for the Top of the South Tag-O-Rama!

Here's the first one taken late morning today on my way back from dropping some KLX250S spares to Sam (3L4NS1R) from AKL as he got off the Bluebridge ferry!

Not too difficult but will get us started:

Yeah I know about that but ......

You may have missed some earlier comments by the Welly Adv guys - we're just havin some fun with our SI ADV brethren IN THE SAME FORUM is all! Not dissin the other KB thread or anything! With a similar thread for each area in the same forum it gives us a chance to interact with our friends in the top of the SI & them with us, as we can post to their thread when visiting the SI and vice versa - just a chance for some fun and building our friendships without having to scoot around other forums just to play tag with each other is all!

Just pointing it out incase you didn't know.

OK Paladin - I'm in, the locale is Petone foreshore with the NZ Post Te Puni Centre on the left as we head East toward Waione St.


Fine looking DR in the foreground :clap:

[Aslan]

doh - ignore me - i've just read Nordie's rules for this game - sounds like fun though - good luck with the thread Dave :clap:

Thx for gettin goin with this on our fair isle Aslan, but........

...... as was reminded of those participating in the SI Tag game on Noride's thread:

the idea is if you know where the location is, you don't say(!) but you go take a pic of your bike at the same spot and post it here to "tag" it. The first one to do so then takes their bike to a new spot(doesn't have to be immediately tho!) and takes a photo at the next location(with your bike in it!) and posts that one on here too, and then someone else has to try be first to "tag" that location, and so and so on!

And preferably noone gives the location away BEFORE someone has "tagged" it!

Hope that helps a bit to clarify!


So, Aslan has unwittingly given away the locale for the first tag; so who's gonna be first to post a "tag" pic of my first locale up on here and get to post the second tag locale photo?

[Paladin]

Good excuse for a lunchtime ride on a sunny day.

[Paladin]

Bugger, I know that place & am stuck with kids, so no riding!

:crybaby:

[Laxi]

Hmm, can't make it too easy. Look at the paint job.

I work central city and got to it in about 10 miuntes.

[Laxi]

ok, think I know where it is, believe it or not 35 years and never been out there so going out for a ride tomorrow just to check it out

[andy mac]

Wrights Hill Tunnels & Gun Emplacements

My wife thinks I was mad going out on a windy night. But a man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do to TAG. Have done a private tour inside the hill & it's pretty amazing.

Next location in planning.

[Laxi]

oh well still worth a ride out tomorrow, well done andy, interested to see where it ends up next

[andy mac]

Pissed down here this morning but windy Wellington has blown it away again.

I know that one.

Cause the Ducati rego is on hold, and cause there's a trailer full of builders mix and a pile of mortar sand in front of it.

[marks]

I know that one.

everyone in Wellywood knows that one

too far from Raumati....

[BMWST?]

[Eddieb]

good man, it's about time.

[Laxi]

ok, moved it somwhere fair, easy enough to get to from wellington, kapiti or wairarapa. This 1s all about the ride getting it not finding it so no need for clues, its at the summit of akatarawa rd (c'mon guys look at all the cool trails on the map)

You could start a new thread then, called:

"I don't wanna have fun thinking about where the tag photo is, or maybe havin fun goin for a ride searchin for the tag photo location, in fact I like to be spoonfed my whole life, and engaging my brain is too much like hard work & no fun, so here's a map to ...... ...... ......, on ya marks , get set, go, race to ..... ..... ....., cos racin to get there is the only possible way to have any fun with this thread!"

:confused:

race? it maybe escape your atention this tag sat in the middle of wellington for over 3 weeks? just figured if I put it there then it opens it up to kapiti and wairarapa seeing as how its called the lower nth island tag, you or anyone else is more than welcome to go get it and stick it in timbuctoo for all I care, at least somone would be playing the game then huh?

[Eddieb]

Come on girls, play nice, at least Laxi moved the tag.

[marks]

on ya marks

leave me out of this bitch fight

it is tantalizingly close though

hmmmm

go and move to the top CNUT hill :woohoo:
I am with laxi,the thing sat for three weeks,at least he moved it

OK yeah maybe I was a tad harsh (sorry laxi!) but my response was in response to his claim that he basically couldn't be arsed to search for a tag location and because that was how he felt, he then spoonfed the whole damn tag location to everyone without even thinking that someone might enjoy trying to figure out where it was or enjoy having a nice ride to try and find it based on a CLUE Laxi might have given! Fair play to him for moving it along, BUT the idea is to possibly give a clue if you think its necessary, NOT give the exact freekin location and provide a farkin map to get there.....sheesh! And on top of that it wasn't even a freekin hard location, I mean just how many of us have been over the summit of the Akatarawa Rd and looked at THAT view and/or been there to access Odlins Rd opposite? IMHO he was takin the p*ss, or at least selfishly not thinking of others enjoyment of the game beyond just the ride to get there.

Rant over - no more comments from me even if goaded - back to the game!!

:shutup:

BTW, I been lookin at cheap cameras today, so hopefully soon I can play again instead of being a spectator (or whingin Pom LOL!)! ;)

[Laxi]

(or whingin Pom LOL!)! ;)

now that explains a lot

[twotyred]

forgot how narrow the road gets up there:shit:

i sneeked past the last locked gate, and went for a little looky futher up the gravel road.....was a little naughty off me.

wasnt much up there.

was a bit naughty parking on the footpath, and was waiting to be caught as well.

[I]just me there.

usually the way up there during the week

i sneeked past the last locked gate, and went for a little looky futher up the gravel road.....was a little naughty off me.

wasnt much up there.

The tarseal road across the road bridge leads up to the old pumping station.. used to be quite ok to drive up there.

was a bit naughty parking on the footpath, and was waiting to be caught as well.
a couple pics off a sweet place.

naaah... sign says no motorcycles on the swingbridge... and you weren't :msn-wink:

that place has a bit of history for me as I used to live in the last farmhouse (since destroyed by fire) before the rangers house.

Friends of mine used to live in the two Waterworks houses that used to be just over the road bridge in your pic but have been removed now since the site is no longer manned.

good times...

[BMWST?]

ride around it next time.

both gates can be got around if ya want to that is...:Police:

i went off to the right,the park closes at 5,you can see i didnt have a lot of time,so maybe another time.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ11 (same as TZ4 in US).

Its last yrs model; they're gettin sold off cheap now as the TZ4 & 5(TZ15) have been replaced by the TZ6 & 7(otherwise known as the ZS1 & ZS3). I'm no pro photographer so it'll probs be plenty enuf camera for me!

Should be useful on Adv rides with 28-280mm Leica lens!!!! Would have loved to have had the TZ5, 6 or 7 but just couldn't afford one, pushed the envelope a bit too much financially as it was! :crybaby:

We're laughing at you too...

No kidding! We need to get our act together up here & get these tags into adv territory....... SOON!

Problem is my aftermarket bars seem to be stronger than the riser bolts! Actually its a good thing as riser bolts are cheaper than the bars!

Last Saturday I didn't even crash, just laid the bike down as i stepped off and the freekin riser bolt bent - on hardpacked mud no less! Shit quality Suzuki parts.... grrrrrrrr!

Hey dave are you saying suzuki make shit parts,:clap: maybe you need to buy a kawasaki. In reality it'll be the risers on top of the orginal risers you have to fit your bars, putting extra leverage on the orginal mounting bolts, that is making the bolts bend easily, the weak point has just been moved from the bars to mounting system. You probably get less vibration through the alloy Bars though.

Cheers

possibly it was damaged from one of your other off's?
Also if its mounted in rubber cones they can twist in the cones and appear like the riser is bent.

you can get aluminum replacements for the rubber cones that eliminate this problem (and increase bar vibration)

Oooh I like it when I learn something interesting and useful! Cheers mate, will check that!

:niceone:

[Paladin]

Nice camera. Good price too. :niceone:

Yeah LV Martin had them on special; lowest price I could find in the whole of NZ at £349.99! The Lower Hutt branch had 2 left in stock on Wednesday and Harvey Norman upstairs from them had already told me they would price match! So I went upstairs, got same price at Harvey Norman(even tho they had it at $470 in the cabinet on sale!) and got them to give me 4GB of memory and lens cleaning kit for free just so i would buy from them!

Was well happy!

The TZ15(TZ5) from last year is nice but an extra $150 for a 3" screen, 1Mp more and HD video & a few other little tiny options, probs not worth it for me as i'm no pro photographer & won't be doin loads of manual settings!

However...........

A guy just came round and paid me cash for my diving dry suit, so now I'm thinking if i'd waited just 2 days more I could have had a TZ7!!!!

BUGGER!!!!!

:doh:

:crybaby:

Not that I really NEED a TZ7, but you know, us guys like to have our expensive toys don't we, even if we don't use em as much as we should!
:devil2:

[junkmanjoe]

how can ya have a dry driving suit, if ya go in the water to get wet.......:rolleyes:

cos it don't let any water inside like a wetsuit does, ie it stays dry on the inside! (and warm & toasty inside! I miss it already! :crybaby: )

(but a TZ7 would cheer me up! maybe I could swap my TZ11................?)
(NO!, stop that Dave, save the money, IDIOT!)

[Paladin]

In honour of the Roadie who recently called us "Adventure Pussies" and due to the fact that this IS an Adv/DS forum, I thought it was about time the Tag got offroad and have a bit of tongue-in-cheek light-hearted fun at the same time!
;)
OK, so it's not hardcore offroad, but I thought we'd give the Roadies a chance at the first offroad Tag! IMHO, this Tag is doable on a roadbike as I have no doubt Pete from Westport who did Big River Track on his Wee-Strom on the recent Invasion Ride, could've done it this afternoon on that bike!(and NO he doesn't have offroad tyres or a bashplate fitted! :bleh: )

So c'mon Roadies, who's got balls big enuff to match those penis extensions you ride around on and take your bike to this Tag? You guys have so much testosterone I'm sure it'll be a piece of piss for ya!!!!
:devil2:

Oh and since some Roadies like directions to the exact location of the Tag, I thought out of consideration I should do the same for them for the first offroad one........

Adv styleeeeeeeee!!!!
(ok from a hip hop perspective its rubbish, but have a laugh with it anyway!) ;)

Turn off the main road & over 2 bridges,
Look all around at the beautiful ridges,
At the end of the road, there's a map, have a look,
Or if you're already shitting it, you could always book!
Onto the track, OMG! there's puddles,
Just keep straight ahead,
And you can't get muddled.
Turn left, OH SHIT! Theres a steep down slope!
Blast thru the creek & up other side - roadies, u might need a rope!
Turn left, & the puddles keep gettin deeper,
Goddam it, my road bike was such a keeper :(
Keep going, over a stream - holy shit, a big rock slide!
Man that scared me, and I almost cried.
Over next rockslide, hundreds of puddles now,
Its gettin much rougher, you might shout "Holy Cow"!
Thank god.... the track's now gettin smooth as wood,
Sorry, you're gettin cocky before you should!
Go left at the main fork and then take a deep breath,
And then THROUGH THE BIG RIVER we call "Road Bike Death"!!!
Just round the corner....... you're almost there,
It's the sign in the tag pic..... just stop & stare!!!!!

:banana:

Roadies it's only 6k offroad ......... each way! LOLOLOL! Best hurry tho or some Adv pussy will get there first! ;)

Oh and if you'd really like to have some extra fun, time it gettin there for just as the last light of the day goes in order to get the pic, and then ride back out in the rain & dark like I did tonite! Its a blast!!!

And I took it easy on you; ya don't even have to ride up or down any steep, yellow, slimey-as-snot clay!

:devil2:

Have FUN!!!!!!!!

(The clue(for the Roadies) is in the photo!)

Ya don't need a knobbly, HTFU and go for it!

If Pete can do the Big River on the Wee-Strom on road tyres & no bashplate, you can do THIS! Only REALLY tricky bit is the first river crossing with steep muddy/rocky entrance & exit - it'll be a challenge on yer road bike tyres in this weather - but you road guys are hard arses aren't ya?????? There's no huge rocks in the big river crossing, honest!

;)

I went easy on ya - not even any steep slick yellow slimeysnot clay to ride up or down!!!!!

:devil2:

Go on, you know you wanna!
Ya don't have to be doin 250 k's on slicks to be on the edge gettin a rush - this'll get yer adrenaline pumpin for ya!!!!! Give it a try!

:devil2:

Great to meet you today Gav, & Paul too, look forward to seein you guys again soon!

[gav24]

Now, where to leave my new tag:shifty:

Either somewhere real obscure, or somewhere thats really difficult to ride into, or just somewhere in the middle of nowhere:confused:

How far North can I take the bugger?

Are there any rules - other than far away from where a roadie can get it!

Taking it far away will just slow down the game,doesn't need to be obscure either.
Somewhere interesting (scenic? historic? iconic?)

Twotyred's comments are good(below), however.....

If you go north tho, Bart would be VERY happy to tag it for you as he's dying to get in the game! And hopefully he'll bring it back in a southerly direction so the tag doesn't end up in Tauranga! ;)

Just have fun with it! (hip hop lyrics not mandatory!) :laugh:

I didn't say we were being reckless - just applied positive mental attitude, as opposed to wimpering along in 1st gear behind the cages!

:bleh:

I didn't do any unsafe passing manouvres at all - gave that bullshit up years ago - I don't pass unless I can see clear road ahead - I leave that to the boy racers on their 26 yr old 250's that they just about afforded by saving up their paper round money!! :laugh:

And I definitely wasn't filming Bryce in front of me, altho I was tempted to get the new camera out, and video the roadies in my mirror gettin smaller!;)
And I wasn't doing over 170kph - then again my DR might not even do over 170 downhill LOL! ;)

(on a serious note; the reason I don't own a big road bike is cos I WOULD have to know how fast it went and since the road is chock full of unobservant wankers in cages & Pukeko birds with dubious road crossing manners, I aint up for makin my two young daughters fatherless!)

Truth is that is why i am not that comfortable riding on the road.

[junkmanjoe]

its not the road, but how you treat it.

[Box'a'bits]

I almost did that just outside Masterton (coming in from Castlepoint) at 200 klicks. Went to pass a Range Rover. Didn't realise there was a Mini in front of it. Range Rover pulled out to pass, I went into the grass to avoid...Kept it upright, how I don't know...Sold the Kawasaki, went to a BMW basically to slow down...that was nearly 20 yrs ago now.

[junkmanjoe]

my rules.

if you abuse the road it will get you in the end.
ride strong and stedy, not lose and crazy,

Why do you think I went from litre sports bikes to itsy bitsy dirt bikes. As I got older, I realised I really didn't want to be sprayed off the road with a fire hose.

big fat fast nasty road huggin road bikes,
down to tall sleak slow adventure bikes.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love an R1, but I think I realised in the knick of time that I've got no self control.

100kmh on gravel is waaaaayyyyyyyyy more fun than 200kmh on seal anyway. :bleh:

Ok OK!
Finally got out this afternoon!
Seems that Paladin started a trend of a rhyme to give a clue...

Down on the beach its not hilly,
but it does get remarkably chilly,
So I pulled up by a stump,
Then this man got the hump;
So he shouted and waved me his willy!

Now if that and the photo arent a huge clue, then you should buy a suzuki intruder and set up your own stump somewhere:buggerd:

[junkmanjoe]

how did you get so close to the south island.
and you forgot, pump and dump in your little poem....:2thumbsup

[gav24]

Well it was a little tricky getting the bike on the kayak, and then the arms got a bit tired paddling.... or maybe its not that island...:whistle:

Well the colour of the stump meant I almost had a completely different kind of "adventure ride":buggerd:

Would that still count:oi-grr:

[junkmanjoe]

arr yes that would cover the dump part...:crazy:

[Paladin]

Well done Gav! That one shouldn't be around too long methinks! ;)

Might have to go for a little ride tomorrow afternoon if noone grabs it in the morning!

:2thumbsup

[gav24]

no takers yet?:crybaby:

Yeah, Pics please!
The weekends coming so hurry up before someone takes a full loaded up Goldwing with sidecar and trailer to the sea side and gets a picture first.

I might have to go tag it myself Friday afternoon, if only to stop Laxi takin his road bike on there just to wind me up LOL!

[Laxi]

I'm sorry to say Connor's Big that arrived from Otago yesterday is sounding like it's in need of serious attention, so maybe the tag might not have a new family member in the pic after all!
:(

I might have to go tag it myself Friday afternoon, if only to stop Laxi takin his road bike on there just to wind me up LOL!
;)

[Hawkeye]

13 pages of posts and only 4 tags to show for it.

On the roadies game, the tag normally changes places within hours...

You Adv guy's just have no idea how to play this game do you?

I may need to go get this one from it's current location (I could have gotten both of them at the same time today had I seen this thread first thing).

Anyone got a Goldwing with side car and trailer I can borrow?

[sinfull]

Now thats the spirit i took the Tag game to bring out in ppl
It might just mean you should take ya bike out into the rough just to keep it adventurous lol

[Scout]

Have I got it right that this tag is for adventure and dual purpose bikes only ??

[junkmanjoe]

if you know where it is go for it mate.
help put a bit of life in the game.

[Woodman]

Have I got it right that this tag is for adventure and dual purpose bikes only ??

All bikes are adventure bikes. Go for it.

[Laxi]

by my count, so far its been 3 adv bikes to 2 road, looks like the roadies might have to keep the game alive until more adv guys come out of hypernation. (cant go adventuring in the mud after all)

[junkmanjoe]

(cant go adventuring in the mud after all)

Oh YES we can... and do..

[twotyred]

Have I got it right that this tag is for adventure and dual purpose bikes only ??

not really,just that it is understood that THIS tag game can go off road at anytime and no foul can be called... and in true adv style things happen at a more civilised pace that sometimes erks the tar-babies:Pokey: :p

go for it!

[Laxi]

Oh YES we can... and do..

hmm the art of sarchasim is obviously dead

Excellent - see you out there.

[Scout]

Got it, and might I add there was snow on them there hills.
Kaitawa Road Suspension Bridge - Otaki Forks.

[Scout]

New Tag,
Now I understand THIS game is all about the challenge, so hopefully this one gets some interest.
Clue: It is North of the last but south of P.North, I hope I have not made it too Dam hard.

I would suggest that this would be a goer for a Weekend jaunt, unless there is a local out there who recognises it straight away.

Enjoy .....

[junkmanjoe]

top job mate, and i do know where that is.

[Eddieb]

Yep, I believe we were out there earlier in the year.

[Laxi]

now that's a ride worth going on, not hard to find at all, never seen the place before but took all of 5 minutes to locate it:yes:

[Eddieb]

There's good riding further up that road.

[Scout]

Excellent News, I didnt want to stall the game, but i wanted it to be a tag that could make for a decent ride, I have not been past that point on the Bike because I am limited to the seal, but went all the way to the dams a few years back and it was a scenic jaunt.

[Cloggy]

Interesting activities in the river there too if I recall rightly.

[junkmanjoe]

That was good fun heading in there with you mate! Glad to see you so totally at home on the Big - knew you & the bike would be right for each other!

I would, but it's about a 5 hour round trip. Been working all day, and one of my staff just rang in sick, so I've got to go work a few hours of night shift tonight as well. :eek:

Besides, I don't think the Mudbug would make it. :laugh:
