Wellington is playing it, The guys in the Adventure forum are. So why can't Aucklanders play it. It seems like a bit of fun and an excuse to go for a ride!!!

Come on people. Come join in!

[TOTO]

Next TAG is in. :D

[Gremlin]

I object!! He cheated and went to a new location before the original...

No fair... (and yes... I have a tag, and want to use it... aaaaaaand I followed the rules)

[Mystic13]

Hey Gremlin...

Post up your pic of the old tag anyway I reckon. It still makes the thread interesting watching how many bikes got there and missed out.

I read the rules and actually it doesn't say he has to go to the new place after. It says he has to post it up after he has got the tag. I think it does say no archived footage for taking the tag. But again for placing the next tag does that matter?

Because frankly if I'm out at an interesting spot today and I think it would make an interesting future tag then should I take it now and save it for the day that I'm in? Must post up on the group.

You'll have to take a blat south now. Imagine how many km's you'll clock up.

:hitcher: well, rule 1 says find it, rule 2 says "take it to a new location". Now technically, you could post up in the thread you have it, but thats boring. Usually, people find them, then take a pic of the next one, then post up both. If you missed out (ie, say TOTO followed the rules :bleh:) I would miss out.


Because frankly if I'm out at an interesting spot today and I think it would make an interesting future tag then should I take it now and save it for the day that I'm in?
Well, following the rules, no photos from file, so you would collect the tag so to speak, rush to the new place, take another pic, rush back to kb, so find out someone else has already beaten you :pinch:

Imagine? Tis reality... bought October 1-3 ish, my 2nd bike, the toy (have another for work purposes) is already very close to 20K. No imagination necessary :niceone:

If you know where it is get out there and get the picture up on the social group listed in the first post.

[3L4NS1R]

thats a tough one. i've got two possibles in my head...

[Mystic13]

One of them is probably right then....

The funny thing is the near misses. When someone posts up and is just beaten. We've had a couple of those and hopefully as we go all the missed ones will be posted. It adds another dimension to the thread.

The guy that got herald Island second rode out to Whatipu for his next shot before posting up. lol. As this goes on it's only a matter of time before all of us miss out.

Of course we get to find some interesting places.

Cheers.

[BMWST?]

check out the adv thread i posted before we actually started .The adv thread has heaps of "Bruces"(beaten to the tag) and in some ways those posts are better than the tagger himself.Shows people are playin and interested

Sounds fine. What impressed me was the person that got the Herald Island tag. I took the photo at the road with the wharf and pier behind, he wheels his bike across the wharf and down the pier because it was late at night and his camera wasn't too crash hot (phone). There was a guy that looked like he was living on his boat just below. he must have been confused by the biker wheeling his bike backwards down the pier.

We're a dedicated lot.

[Mystic13]

As for the near misses here's the thread over at adventure rider that the Wellington guy borrowed from and the Wellington thread. makes interesting reading.

So you heard them. I'm guessing you probably gave them a bit of a fright. it's not often a guy comes a pier kitted in motorbike gear, wearing a helmet and with his bike for a fast getaway.

lol.... that would have been priceless. And scary.

Nah they didnt mind at all. I didnt make too much noise - didnt wanna ruin the harmony. I was just snappin away.

Yep the plane is gone and we're waiting for the new tag.

If you've seen the pic of the plane you'll see the guy that got it wandered down at night, rode the bike through the pedestrian access and past the locked gates to get his shot next to the plane.

I can see that there will be no obstacle big enough for these guys. We're collecting some interesting night shots.

We've recently discovered that there are a few gifted members using electronic tracking like google and google earth. So I'm learning there are others ways to find things.

Unfortunately some also thumbed through the electronic stuff and got way too many options instead of the White pages book that you physically turn the pages on.

The thing is finding it's feet and over in the social group there is a list of "other tag-o-rama threads" that give you a good idea of what's going on.

I suspect the current holder of the tag is going for a longish ride.

All good fun though.

its a good game.

Mystic13, I dont own the paper white pages so have no other point of referance except electronic.

So it's up and ready for you. I'm guessing you'll have no problems finding it with the detailed route info provided. And I have included some good biking roads for ya.

I'm sure the weather will be kinder to you than it was for me. Tomorrow looks like beaut weather as well after 9am.

GO GETS IT YOU FUCKING AUCKLANDERS

[Mystic13]

Here's an easy tag.

In Auckland City

South of the bridge
West of SH1
And East and North of Carrington Road, Mt Albert Road, Campbell Road.

It's a well known motorcycle sculpture.

It's in a fringe city suburb. So Clockwise that would be Parnell, Grafton, Eden Terrace, Kingsland, Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Herne Bay or Freemans Bay.

If I was to cut that number down I'd say you could put the suburbs into alphabetical order. Take the first 4 and discard the others. So you're working at the lower end of the alphabet.

Good luck and hopefully we'll see the pic soon.

You need to post over in the social group.

That's fine by me. I wasn't thinking of the old Auckland City Council area, rather the new Auckland Council area [supercity boundaries]

Outside Eden Park on Walters Road

Not sure if this will work - fingers crossed - https://www.google.co.nz/maps/@-36.8736538,174.7444896,3a,75y,144.8h,83.06t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sq_txzIjTPwW4j-gypCkbAA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Well it did... I am surprised...

An afterthought - as Auckland Council area is as large as it is, might be worth giving an area such as the old council areas before supercity days...

Outside Eden Park on Walters Road
Thanks. I was trying to think where a Rugby statue would be in Auckland. Pretty obvious now that you mention it.

[rambaldi]

Sorry this took a little longer than expected. I didn't think my bike was up to fording the motorway home yesterday, in what ended up as a pretty nothing storm at least when I would have been travelling.

Turns out, rather than having the rest of today for the next person to grab, I couldn't even get the spot I wanted so this will have to do:

While you're down here check out some of the local roads. Not hugely long but some hidden gems with very little traffic most of the time.

Bah! Didn't even realise you could get down to the lake there. I was completely off in my searching as I didn't recognise it from around the other side.

I knew roughly where it was. My wife identified the water on the left (not part of the main lake) that's used for canoe polo. We know it as we've launched our kayaks from there a time or two.

Worked it out after all. It's amazing what you can accomplish with Google Maps and a bit of Street View. Although it took an educated guess based on the angle of the ground and distance from the Sky Tower to get me in the right ball-park.

Couldn't quite get the bike in the same position due to the carpark filling up, but it looks like I did manage to get some of the same cars... :)

Go up and down the link often, but see the other side of the bill board.

Initially I thought of City Works Depot, but it was too close to the Skytower to get that sort of distant view. Then I was thinking of the Wellington St/Union St area, but couldn't think of a carpark in that area. I was scanning around on G maps looking for possibilities and saw the location, but wasn't familiar with it and couldn't think why there would be such a massive sign there. So I spent ages browsing billboard company websites trying to find out where their big billboards are before I resorted to Street View - what a waste of time - should have gone straight to Street View.

I must say, it was a tough tag given the lack of detail visible at night.

Looking forward to the next tag now. Hurry up you lot...:)

You'll probably need to zoom in a bit to see the subject of this photo. It has a long history dating back to 1900 and was the focus of quite a bit of controversy in 2006 (to be fair - it's often the focus of a bit of controversy).

For one thing it used to house a football stadium that fell down the bank...

Small detour on the way to work this morning...

Newmarket Park off Ayr St.

Fark... you beat me to it this morning. But at least your tag was right around the corner on Laxon Tce :bleh:

Made it to Laxon Terrace today too, but looks like I left it too long before posting. I even hung around long enough to capture a down train going up the hill as per the original tag.

That next one's going to require a bit of work methinks...

Another spot I've been known to lunch at - near a good bakery. Probably won't get there till Monday though so it's wide open until then at least.

Left work yesterday ...

Purewa Rd. Meadowbank.

Nearish to the Meadowbank Bakery (its on hte way). Nice run for lunch when I'm in the mood.

Can't say I've ever seen myself from behind so I don't know. No problem lane-splitting though.

Hopefully you've not forgotten that you owe us another tag...

Nah, one thing led to another and I haven't had a chance in daylight yet. I have one in mind that I'll likely get tomorrow morning.

I think I know the place but don't recall the sign. Question is can I get there during daylight before daylight savings begins?

So where was it? I'm guessing south, but not familiar with that sign.

Harrisville Rd. a few km from Bombay. The bike is right on the intersection of Harrisville and Jericho (northern one as Jericho hits Harrisville at both ends - one's in Auckland and one's in the Waikato)

The over banding where the white car is the location to me when wet:
On the DR it is the beginning of a gentle drift. Sometimes both ends.
On the 1300's it barely warrants a mention but when it does is magical.

Used to have a need to be very careful over that until I put the PR4s on.
