Weather is looking good for the weekend.:sunny::niceone:

A few of us from HMCC are going for a ride Sunday leaving BP tristram at 10am, destination unknown but around 200-300kms.

Usually ok if anyone wants to tag along but not really for beginners.

I might tag a long if I am back from Auckland. New tyres on the bike so they need a run.

[STJim]

Join with Ulysses on Sunday 26 May for a Bennydale Loop. Meet Cambridge BP 9.45 am for a 10 am departure.
I will put a Calander event in the next few days. PM me for more information if required

[sil3nt]

Saturday looks like it might be fine.

Thinking of heading to Raglan. Probably go Ngaruawahia - > Waignaro - > Raglan - > Home

Have crossfit in the morning so probably won't leave until 10am.

Good idea. We've got our fingers crossed that the one time we'll be able to go up this year we won't be waiting for chains. We sold the Subby for a ute. We considered a 4wd one but they're an extra $5k roughly and that can buy a shit load of chains and season passes! I do miss the subby though. Thank god I sold it to the folks ;)

Cheers

[Murray]

I am now road riding again but at the same time Trina's bike is "on hold". As such I do not foresee me or the Clubroom crowd organising or promoting via this site too many rides over the next 3 month period. It also becomes difficult with changeable weather etc.

Jim will be keeping the thread updated with Ulysses rides and if anyone wants to organise a Sunday ride or any other ride Go For It.

Once we get to better conditions more rides will start appearing as I know everyone who went to last years New Year Eve party ride and Auckland anniversary ride and some others we went on are keen to do it again!!

Still anywhere between 8-18 people turning up at the Te Rapa on Wednesday evenings from 5.00ish onwards, if anyones got a free evening. Early September the clubrooms will be shifting round the corner to a new swish location in Sunshine Ave

cheers and safe riding

Come on Muzza, I could get lost in Hamilton if I've got to go off da main road.

Go to the old Te Rapa Tavern - knock on the door and no one will answer!! As you leave the carpark turn right into Te Rapa straight and head north. 100 odd metres down the road is a roundabout, turn left at the roundabout and 100 metres down the road on the left is the new Rapa Tavern OPENING EARLY SEPTEMBER.

Basically at the back of the first turn on the Te Rapa race course

Lots of bikes on the "Raglan Raceway" today. Hardly surprising given the sun, little wind and cool air.

Bikes sure seem to like cool air.

Yeah I saw you heading out as I was coming back in.

It was a beautiful day for a ride today, so just a short hop from Waikanai to Christchurch. Tomorrow will be have to be the Lindis Pass road. :innocent:

I don't know if you guys recall but a few years ago I rode down from Auckland on my 400cc Burgman scooter to join you on a Sunday ride.
Now I've moved from Auckland to Morrinsville - I'm back in the Waikato!
I'm trading the Burgman in on a Suzuki RF900 today (Friday) - going to need to give it a good ride at some point!
I'm gonna need to practice my riding at legal (mostly) speeds, gotta get used to about the same weight but about 4x the power.

So yeah, I might be keen on a nice relaxed ride with you guys again.
Maybe not this weekend with the crappy weather, but I'm sure we will get a nice bit of riding weather at some point in the next few weeks.

Didnt you do the lighthouse run with us??? A lot of the group have now got bikes on hold (Donna's the latest) and Sundays have lately and in the foreseeable future been crap, but hey look forward to catching up again as we head into the longer days.

Mind you, after watching today 2 suicide jokeys on their R1 and GSXR 1000 doing a 200 mph flyby on the I-75 between cars with tees, shorts and sneekers with no skid lids I decided i did not want to ride anything around here. Roads are mainly filled with middle age fat gits riding their HD road kings with no lids and just shorts and hawaian tees made me nearly puke. :eek5:

In the hottest weather in NZ I'll still wear Dragin' Jeans at least and my leather jacket with winter lining removed and my summer gloves - I like my skin to stay on my body.
I've seen videos where someone is riding in shorts & t-shirt, the thought of doing that makes me cringe.

See the link below to the local Ulysses web site:

http://ulyssesclubwaikato.wordpress.com/runs-and-events-calendar/

The weather forecast for Sunday is semi reasonable. Anyone who wishes is welcome to join with Ulysses for a run north up the back roads to the Nikau Caves Café for lunch.

Please note there is a bikers $10 Breakfast at the Kingsgate at 8.30 am other wise leaving from Whatawhata Gas Station at 10.00 am:scooter:

[MarkH]

I went along with the Ulysses ride last Sunday - it was a good ride and the fush 'n' chups at Miranda were pretty nice.
I'm not sure if I can make it this Sunday though.

[leathel]

Nikau caves is a nice Ride, Was out there with the Fat Bikers not so long ago but from Tuakau end. Watch out for the goats on the ride.....one nearly ended up in my Saddle bags :P :)

Bloody annoying that. We were talking about this yesterday since we've been holding out to buy mum some more gear. Weren't too sure if it was on and it only said online sale on their website. So we missed out.

The real funny thing is I checked their site on my phone... Knob! How about using your bloody phone as a phone for a change!?

Would have missed it still anyway. We started talking about it at 2:30 so it would have been closed. Never mind

[Damantis]

I had a look Friday. Plenty of gear (mostly not leather) at that time. All I really needed was some more chain lube but that wasn't on special.

There was already 20 people in there. Needed boots and got some Dririder ones for $99 down from $249. Almost got some Technic boots but they felt as comfy as undersized Clogs. Also some Dririder gloves ( just to have an extra pair ) from the seconds bin for $20. The only fault is that one seam of the velcro wrist fasteners was un-stitched! An easy fix and a bargain for gloves that retail for $150.

I would have probably missed out if not for noticing it on Boyds Facebook page.

Amazing how they probably turn their slowest day of the year into one of the busiest. Also shows how much markup is in stuff when the distributor dumps it.

[5150]

I'm Baaack!!!

Considering Florida was 38° I think it was a dumb idea, but unfortunately work and bills were calling. Now I have a 2 week long wait untill all the bling I bought for the Bonnie turns up and then I can have some serious shed time and get the girl all ready for the warmer weather ahead. :banana:

I had seen something about the sale but was reminded on Saturday morning when I went in for coffee at Violet's in Lake Road. Our best score was a pair of riding pants for Mrs. STJim. I also picked up a pair of Summer gloves for $35. (Five Brand)

Jim, I read the notice at Honda Hamilton. I had first thought this ride was all done on the one day. The calendar on the Ulysses site indicates these 12 points can be collected over 3 dates in J, Aug & Sept. Is that correct, and are the rides done as a group ride, or done individually. ?

Good turn out last night at the club rooms.
Jim has a Ulysses ride on Sunday going to Pareroa stopping in the gorge for a break and Waihi beach for lunch and back via the Kaimai's. leaving at 9.30 from Hillcrest petrol station (I believe). A few of us have talked about leaving 11.00ish and meeting/catching up with them in Waihi if anyones interested

[BigAl]

:no:Rego on hold and have a maintenace to do, chain & sprockets, shock mounts etc but will get back into it once done.

Still manage go out for a quick fang in between.

Anyone know whether RoadRash (Nev) is back on a bike?

[sil3nt]

I just rego'd the bike for a year. Been a long time since I have done that. Figured it was a good idea commuting every day and all.....but now I get a ride in to work most days so the bike doesn't get used anywhere near as much :rolleyes:

Everytime I rego it I never bloody use it.

[Murray]

Twas a good ride, 6 of us heading off at 11.00 pm and through to Pareroa for a quick stop and no we did not crash into the L&P bottle. Do a google search if you dont know what Im talking about. Met up with Jim and the Hamilton and Tauranga Ulysses crowd at Waihi Beach for 1/2 hour or so but they didnt want to wait for us and shot through. Good ride back via wairoa road and Kerry led us all astray again. Lost us in Waihi Beach and Wairoa road. So much for GPS. Really good ride and as we start warming up and bikes start coming off hold watch out for some more to come.

[Geeen]

and no we did not crash into the L&P bottle.

That's coz its rather hard to ride a bike and eat NZ made chocolate through your helmet........ :D;)

So this is the area for rides in the Hamilton area, took me long enough to find it, hiding way down on the list after the Auckland rides.

[Murray]

Well I hope they stick to it as well - it wasn't just hijacked by others, so who's going to say what is and isn't about socialising around Hamilton?
I think they just want to limit the thread to who is in their precious little group, or more likely who they would like to exclude from their group.
If there was a problem perhaps they could've PM'd offenders first requesting they discontinue posting that type of stuff on the thread, or at lest put a post up outlining acceptable and not acceptable subjects.
Perhaps they need their own web site?

Anyone for a ride out to Raglan, back through Waignaro/Ngaruiwahia this afternoon sometime? I'll only be on a 250 so nice and laxxed. :)

[ApriliaMike]

Hi Guys,

Was out today following the wife out in her blue mazda, for a day trip. im also on a much slower 250 so if u want to zip out again one sunday will be keen

[frisken]

If the weather is nice next weekend I'd definitely be keen for another ride out to Raglan. It's a nice ride now that the road has been fixed up a bit, and the Waignaro stretch has had a lot of work done as well, so only two or three patches of gravel then it's smooth sailing.

[leathel]

Raglin was our destination For lunch Sunday just been.. Nice ride back through 22, Up to Auckland for breakfast in the Viaduct in the morning first, great day to be on the bike :)

[haydes55]

I could make Rags and back. Caltex Dinsdale 10.00 - 10.30am?

I've stopped filling up at dinsdale caltex. My bike might just be sensitive to crap fuel but about 20km after filling up there my bike started spluttering and losing power. I drained the gas, switched to reserve (which was full of bp gas luckily) and filled the main tank at the next station and she's run mint ever since.

Interesting. I usually always fill up at Caltex (because I live right next to one) and my bike often splutters and struggles on cold, damp mornings. Always put it down to the weather, but I might try refueling at BP for a few weeks, see if that helps.

I've filled up at that caltex quite a few times before and it's been fine. But I got a bad batch and when there are other options, bridges burn fast. I know gas stations need to test their fuel for moisture levels (all petrol has water in it) if there is too much water in the petrol they should pick it up and rectify it. I'll take my business to a company who checks their fuel better. And I'm a big spender on petrol(I spend about $20 per week :p).

I don't often fill up there - just happen to live over the road so it is a good meeting place. Can't say I've ever had a problem when I have used their fuel though.

The only time my bike did that is when I used premium.......diesel, Still ran just wouldn't Idle, spluttered and lost power, About 40% deisel, drained it and refilled at the next gas station :rolleyes:

I've been using Caltex predominantly as that it is what is closest.

95. Always the premium.

[Geeen]

Haydee, I have the opposite problem, the speedie runs like crap whenever I put BP in it but mint on Caltex......

[ckai]

I've always had a negative thing with Caltex. I always get that dirty feeling with them (and I think they're slow to adapt business wise). Never liked their fuel but it's more than likely a placebo thing. Pretty much use Shell with BP than Mobil as the back ups. Brooke's not a fan of Caltex as well. Dunno what her excuse is.

I've been filling up there pretty much every week or so for the last 8-years and never had a problem, sounds like a random event, could happen anywhere.

Sold some vinyl, so, like the responsible citizen I am, I spent the money on gas for the bike instead of keeping it to pay the mortgage...as any sensible person would do.

Hamilton, Horsham Downs, various entangled roads, Taupiri, Huntly, Rotowaro Road, Waingaro, Ohautira Road, Raglan for a coffee and back to Te Tron.

I feel much better now.

OK, back to work you buggers. :devil2:

Awesome day for it SF, I too got out on the bike yesterday, Scottmans valley, Okoriore, Whites rd, Putaruru (to call in on mates) and return.

I should have gone for a ride yesterday, bloody good day for it, but my brain was all screwed up from going to the snow on Saturday and wearing shorts and t-shirt yesterday.

Turoa. Paps is for common folk ;-) Turoa was insane. You could go anywhere and it was soft. I don't think I used a trail all day. I wanted to catch all the fresh snow from the day before. Love that place after a good fall.

Did you use the holders?

[arcane12]

Long range forecast looks good. What did you have in mind? (Note it is fathers day - that could affect some peoples plans)

Possibly a south Waikato loop. Otorohanga, Te Kuiti, Bennydale, Whakamaru and back through Old Taupo Road/Arapuni.

Hmmmm, that sounds pretty good. If I'm not trying to learn how to ski I might come along. The weather looks absolutely beautiful on the weekend, so that will be a nice change. I'm sure my poor bike already thinks I'm only taking it out when it rains. :D

I'll have to give it some thought. around 300 kms? It will depend on how masochistic I feel on the day. I do need the practice though...(at the longer distance riding on my pain machine). I might even try to remove the pack rack, and soften the suspension. I'll post on saturday how I get on.

Your link doesnt work but this is what it should link to

k folks, heres the deal for this ride:
Meet at Papakura Autobahn at 8.30am for a 9.00am roll. From there we head south passing through Huntly and Ngaruwahia until we arrive at the Viands Bakery in Te Awamutu (www.viandsbakery.co.nz)
Hook into a number of the fine, traditional home made pies which this establishment is famous for then its saddle up and head north stopping off at the Waingaro Hotel for a pint of your favourite (www.waingarohotel.co.nz)
All up a full day on the road doing what we do best, riding bikes, eating pies and drinking pints.....who could ask for anything more..
I want to thank Leathal for putting this ride together, checking the routes and venues and generally be an all round good egg. Chipper work old boy....

What road from Te Awamutu to the Waingaro?? - could be a good ride if we meet up at Ngarawahia and do the loop back through waingaro

This one sounds a bit more my style! Plus not having to be ready to set off early in the AM tickles my fancy too... (If I have to get up at 6am on the weekend, it feels too much like work)

[leathel]

I was looking at doing a regroup on the way down where the rivers meet (the park) Ngarawahia

Way back I wanted to go Waingaro from the Raglin road but there are a few new riders heading along and if its wet the nice windy road might get a little slippery so will go in from Ngarawahia to the pub and those looping back south can go out to the Raglin road and those wanting a windy road north can do 22, I will lead back to Huntly

If the link works this is my intended trip, Might bypass Otorohuga and go down Te Kawa road

Hi guys, im in Hamilton and just picked up a road bike, I've been doing trackdays and racing for the past year or so on a gsxr600 and a hyosung 250, and been riding on the road for 10 years prior to that. Im keen to get back into road riding, I dont like going quick on the road as i prefer to save it for the track and often have the missus on the back..... How often do you guys head out for rides on the weekend?
Is there one organised this weekend? Im at the track allot so wont be able to attend all the rides but keen on the odd one.

How often do you guys head out for rides on the weekend?
Is there one organised this weekend? Im at the track allot so wont be able to attend all the rides but keen on the odd one.

Cheers Dave

If you follow this thread, rides will be notified regularly. You can come and go as you please. You will also find people notifying everyone of proposed rides at different times - these are usually just for anyone interested. I'll post up next time I want company on a ride - be glad to see you along.

[Murray]

Would you prefer shag-pile carpet and a revolving bed? Enough intimacy for ya? :grouphug:


Nah, I just think the high ceilings, extra lighting and cramping a whole lot of leaners in has made it sort of barnish. You will see when you make your annual pilgramage!!

No ride this weekend - next one is the blue rider ride next Sunday as I have mentioned back a few posts ago. There is a calendar entry for it if you click on the calendar option above. bit of a pootle but some pretty cool people to meet with up in Auckland and a good charity

Haha must do that soon actually. If we rehome the kids we'd never have a problem.

As long as your blue eye liner doesn't get wet and run cos' you'll end up looking like Alice Cooper and....hang on, that might not be that bad?

If the weather is good a trip back via the long way heading Dairy flat, Henderson or Coatesville-Riverhead highway ... Lots of options :)

Your link doesnt work but this is what it should link to

k folks, heres the deal for this ride:
Meet at Papakura Autobahn at 8.30am for a 9.00am roll. From there we head south passing through Huntly and Ngaruwahia until we arrive at the Viands Bakery in Te Awamutu (www.viandsbakery.co.nz)
Hook into a number of the fine, traditional home made pies which this establishment is famous for then its saddle up and head north stopping off at the Waingaro Hotel for a pint of your favourite (www.waingarohotel.co.nz)
All up a full day on the road doing what we do best, riding bikes, eating pies and drinking pints.....who could ask for anything more..
I want to thank Leathal for putting this ride together, checking the routes and venues and generally be an all round good egg. Chipper work old boy....

What road from Te Awamutu to the Waingaro?? - could be a good ride if we meet up at Ngarawahia and do the loop back through waingaro

By the way this ride is 29th September which some of us will join up with - Prob at Ngaruwahia 10ish

[arcane12]

Have a fun day! I am still in recovery mode from this cold. Plus it sounds like you will be up at an indecent time. If the weather is good I might have to see if anyones going over the hiils to Raglan for a coffee...

[IkieBikie]

Good fun ride with about 250 bikes of all kinds - 7 of us went up and were joined by M/M Caseye (thanks for the coffee) - and weather was pretty good all the way - stopped for a bite to eat at Mercer on the way back and heaps of cops from Huntly to Hamilton - 4 I think we counted and one with flashing lights on the side of the road with pete there?? He tells me they were doing a warrent/rego check on his bike as they had keyed his number plate into the system. Evidently he updated all on the Saturday so all was good!!

A good charity and Fat Max certainly makes for a fun day - though I lost him in the brief after he mentioned going past Burger King!

[Murray]

Did have a video but for some reason its now not playing so have removed???? Hopefully back again

Don't forget to put your clocks forward on Saturday night before going to bed otherwise you may end at the start two hours early.

its when the clocks go back that you end up early, Mate did that once and was knocking on my door at 4am to go fishing :rolleyes:

this time you would be 2 hours late

I had a mate who would always get it wrong, he would put his clock back at the start of daylight saving and would be two hours late. Our time would go forward an hour and his would go back and hour making a two hour difference.

Corrected time 7am, his clock would be at 5am making his actual 7am two hours earlier than ours...making him late....I think? better stop this my eyes hurt :(

Depending on who you believe the weather will either be good (forecast charts on metvuw) or rain (metservice).

I think my attendance will be 33% base on weather 33% on if I am hung over from Saturday and the last bit based on my desire to watch the rugby. (I will let you do the math)

LOR group - Sunday leaving Kingsgate Hotel Car park 9.45 to meet up at Te Kowhai (as below)

The rest is pretty sweet on the way down…. We will stop in Te Kowhai to pick up Waikato riders meeting there. The Pie shop is at the far end of Kihi-Kihi if you get lost somewhere. (http://www.viandsbakery.co.nz/)

Trip to Wangaro pub we continue south to Te Kawa service station refuel for those that need it (145K’s at this stage) then across to SH39 and back to Ngaruawahia BP service for top up for the rest of us (just over 200 K’s) and topup for those with limited distance. Then out to Wangaro Pub (http://www.waingarohotel.co.nz/) …


LOR will probably turn off at morman temple road on way back up SH39 unless anyone wants to continue onto waingaro

Have updated calendar

If you go to the pie shop and the pub it's around a 200km round trip to the Hotel. I am going to dither about this all weekend aren't I? I don't think I will be able to say for sure until I get home Saturday night (7pmish). If I am not there, I am not there, you can just laugh about my hang over! :P

full pie warmers :killingme the weekends are their busiest which is why they have 2 shops FYI as you approach the bakery on the down hill side there is a road to your left CHURCH STREET turn in here (dont park outside the bakery or on the side road ) & immediately to your right is a rest area you can park in ( heaps of room for the bikes ) which is off the main road & directly across from Viands :niceone: if I get all my chores done tomorrow I might join in :shit:

Yup they told me about that parking spot, they also preferred the Kihi Kihi shop as the stop :)

Mind you the concrete pad in front of the shop and the street parking outside the pad will fit a lot of bikes if its not full of cars ;)

[insomnia01]

I wouldnt park there to be honest & it always has a car or 2 there :sick: if its warm it will be cooler across the road as there is no ( or very little ) cover outside the shop, nice bush setting at the rest stop also but your fellas call just giving my $2 worth...

Weathers looking OK for tomorrow - should be done and dusted and having a cold one in the clubrooms by the time the rain comes in.
