Laxed out rides

[mister.koz]

I have seen allot of new riders on 250's and other riders who aren't so keen on racing or trying to keep up with the super sports looking for some organised rides around hamilton.

I am on a zx6rr but i am looking to enjoy a relaxed ride rather than race anything.

Was thinking of getting a group started for a ride or 2 a week when people are keen.

Weather pending (http://metvuw.com/forecast/forecast.php?type=rain&region=nzni&noofdays=all) i would like to organise a ride for a couple of hours on sunday.

I am thinking somewhere in the middle of 11am to 3pm starting at the garden centre in kahikatea drive with a coffee, will be on everyone to decide where to go but i was thinking raynes road - mystery creek - cambridge - morrinsville and hadn't thought any further :)

Anyways, drop a message in here if you are interested.

The group that is behind the original thread by this name have requested that the site Moderators keep this incarnation of the laxed out rides thread closer to the thread topic. So from now on any posts about racing should be posted in the Racing forum, any posts about crashing, juvenile heroics, waving your arse at the law, pissing contests etc can be posted in PD. Basically if it's not about a relaxed ride or socializing around the Hamilton area it doesn't belong in this thread.

The Moderators will be keeping a close on this thread from now on.

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?

Just checking...who are you referring to as "they"? The people who are already "part of the group"?

Me personally, I just got annoyed with people not paying me their membership fees...how am I suppose to fund my expensive habits?

Who's looking at riding this weekend anyway? Shit, just remembered I'm out, heading to the 'naki and I'm not even allowed to ride the bike!

I failed to embed it majorly, but that is what Met service thinks of this weekend.

Being the weather man and general know it all as I am, It is going to be fine with fog lifting at around 10:30pm to patchy clear sky's, chance of drizzle in the bop and coromandel region.

I am keen for a slow ride!.. firstly got to get my ass motivated to pickup a 32mm socket and adjust and lube my chain.. soo lazy lately :(

Hey man, nice! i am in the same boat, the demon has almost eaten its tire already... dammit...

Looking clear for this weekend surprisingly enough, nothing planned as yet suggestions welcome!

I am thinking (if i can get a tire before friday) going for a roll this week too.

Had this idea a couple of weeks ago:

Jolly Good show ol chap...

Not too sure at this stage, Weather dependent as always, I am keen if the ride is not too big.. still a bit twitchy about the insurance aspect of the bike.

I was hoping for a route that is not too covered in leaves and shady spots etc.. does not leave many interesting routes but I am sure we will come up with something at the pub :)

It is loose twisty metal for the first 1.5-2km then it is sealed however it was not very well swept when I went through there on the car last (4months ago). Tight blind corners, not really that fun but different none the less.

nah, its hard enough to keep the back wheel on tar seal on the 10 let alone stones or gravel.. pass!

I am keen for a ride this weekend been a while since i gave the bike a good pasting but is my bday on saturday so going out with the missus. might even have some new bling on the bike by then.

I myself don't have any roads i particularly dislike.. however i do get bored & sore riding along any long straight roads

SH1, SH2, and other long, overly caged roads with cheese cutters :)

[ckai]

To be honest, I find Arupini Rd a little boring (pretty much the opposite to Slofox :)), and I get bored with long straights as well.

Anything that involves constant throttle at 100 km/h is a little lame for me. And before anyone goes there - riding any section like that at 200km/h doesn't make it any less lame.

[slofox]

...depends on HOW you ride it, ckai...don't spend too much time on it...if ya know what I mean...:whistle:

Try Ouruwhero Road from Otorohanga to Te Awamutu via Pokuru if you want something more interesting...watch the humpback bridge just south of Te Awamutu - I took it a little faster than usual this morning, stood up on the pegs as I went over and just about rotated forward over the handlebars...added interest to the ride...:laugh:

[Spazm]

Does anybody get a bit unsettled riding down narrow backcountry sealed roads with no road markings on it ?

I know i've heard a few people say that it's not fun meeting stock truck and trailer units on them. And my only motorcycle accident involved a car doing a 5 piont U turn on one 30mtrs after a blind corner in a 100km/h zone.. i nearly stopped before the impact.. I still love the roads though

[Leyton]

I do not mind them too much, one just has to keep well left and slow down for crests and most blind corners.

I am not fast anyhow so suites me just nice :)

The only part I do not like about them is gravel, wet spots, cow shit etc..

[HACHET]

any road is good in fact the knarlier the better lots of tight corners blind crests long fast corners all good fun (im easy)

[Spazm]

(im easy)

We know :)

[Spazm]

I'd have to agree with you on the type of road though..

I love lots of tight technical corners, sweepers, Camber changes, undulations, drop offs and a minimum straights

Just got a call today that my stranded VTR in Napier is now repaired. Wasn't a coil, CDI , blocked jets , worn carbs ,short in the electical system , rectifier but was the throttle sensor. Was telling the cylinder to fire when it wasn't ready too. Why it was only doing it after 2 hrs running or when the bike was hot or travelling at 150+ beats me, but they say its running fine now. Just gotta figure out when to get her home. Flat out @ work at the mo including weekends for a lil while. Be great to get back in the saddle :scooter:

Hi Guys & Girls

Back from a few days away. took the car down to wellington via Forgotten highway. Its a great road and I think you would all love it. Only concern was the 12 km of packed dirt road. The council fix the holes by dumping shovel loads of gravel in the holes and leaving it for the cars to flatten down. 1/2 of it had just been done so bit of a pain. Whangamonamoana republic was pretty much as expected and we had a good meal at the pub!! leaving Taumaranui you have a 155 stretch of petrol free road so if you ever do it make sure you fill up. Catch up with you all on wednesday night and if weather looks good for Queens Birthday lets organise a ride. Current long range forecast for the Saturday is great, not so good the Sunday or Monday.

Oh yeah, my favourite road is the Te Rapa straight from garnett Avenue to the Te Rapa racecourse entrance!!

I took my test bike for a ride up past the lakes to Te-Kawahata, then over to glen murray (?) (good road)
half way down the 22 it pissed down.

still kept the pace up though and made it back to hams in good time.

the bike i had was excellent!

The GSXR had no wheels on it from the wet trackday!

Riding in the wet fast is good fun!

The gravel thru there is not really a challenge to ride on, it's pretty hard and open, no sharp bends or inclines or anything that requires any more skill than average.
I wouldn't let the small amount of gravel put you off a fantastic ride like the Forgotten Highway

[rideon]

when youve done the 60-70 K's from the New Plymouth coast road, through all the back country of Ohura & on out to the forgotten highway, all of of it deep horrible metal , the hard packed stuff was like tar seal And yes we were on the VTR. 1 st gear was even too high at tmes!! stinking hot summer day, bike got hot & stuffed the back tyre. The only tar seal we found was on a very steep section that obviously vehicles wouldn't get up if it was metal. Saw some pretty wicked parts of the country though. 12 Kms of hard pack - no sweat & the gorge it runs through is pretty wicked. :2thumbsup

Totally agree with you both - no real problem at all!! As stated it is packed dirt and good to ride on. The only problem was they had just gone through 1/2 of it and chucked loose gravel over all the holes and left it. Have to organise an overnight ride to the Naki!!

[WhatThe???]

[Murray]

I know what you mean I though it might be over....but like a dog with a bone or a cat with a mouse....its not....

Just the time of year - getting cold and dark

Sunday looks like it might be fine - so lets look at a ride. Any one interesting meet at the Hotel 10ish & leave 11ish

maybe a shortish one. I'm thinking Raglan for coffee, back through Waingaro way, turn of through the quarries to Huntly and back down the back roads. Couple of hours

[WhatThe???]

sounds ok but I dont think we will be around for the weekend. daves taking his truck out for a roll in the mud :P and is making noises about going to rotorua again.... but then again I never know whats going on lol

Yeah man, let's dust off the bikes! haha (that could be just me though). A good leisurely cruze would go down a treat.

[Warr]

Tag added .. you can be thankful I didnt add this one for bit of a challenge

[Dargor]

Looks like you had a good afternoon. I should have skipped class, they seem to have the aircon stuck on the "too hot" setting, good day for a ride.

[SilentNinja]

in that case excuse I, yea im pretty sure its chinese I cant find any info
on them. We got it off trademe from nexa auckland ltd from what I understand they sell various crap from vacuums to bikes.(as it was a fight to get the manual) Its lucky if it gets to 100k and isnt much faster downhill lol. It looks kinda like a cbf. I guess its ok for a learners bike, gotta admit though the Hyosung was better.

I was out visiting the bike shops today - was a bit nippy I must admit. But saw many bikes I would like. Damn it!

[SilentNinja]

Hello everyone, just letting you all know, im probably selling my bike, due to many things, mainly police collage coming up and the need of more space for transport, so if anyone wants or knows someone looking to buy, my Blue Ninja 250 is up for grabs.
PS- Im keeping all my gear as i know ill be due for a bike once im out of collage!!

sadly yes, its a bit of a shocker.
at least with the speedo reading 10ks too fast I can pretend its going faster lol, and its definatly not made for corners...

looks like you did get lost. Don't know how you managed that from Hams to Raglan. Jamal caught up with us and Leyton thought it was still Saturday???

Good wee ride 6-7 of us counting Mr Dargor MIA and Jamal.

[Dargor]

yea, but then i got destracted by the computer store. had to get a mem card for my phone.

[WhatThe???]

so ive been told :) i think it was $2300
good old trademe, the sellers reckon(originally) the retail price is $3995(then dropped to $3495) im not sure if they have any listed...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-198904628.htm

well ok I looked and they do, and what do ya know they have dropped the price coz it seems they are trying to get rid of them lol. They sold too many via $1 reserve id say and now people know they arent the best for the price when you could get a fxr for around the same or a bit cheaper. And they have tried to make it look good. Id NEVER deal with these people again, and id be lucky to get a decent trade at a proper dealer.

Yeah that is good stuff. I just have polyprops at he moment. I am thinking of trying to find a windproof underlayer, seems it is the wind that gets me more than the actual cold.

Are you wearing icebreaker under your leathers? If it is straight on your skin does it itch much? I don't really care if they aren't breathable. Not wearing them long enough in one stretch for it to matter :laugh:

You asked for it - HTFU

[insomnia01]

Normally through the winter I can get away with wearing x2 layers of thermals. leather pants with shower proof trousers over the top this keeps most of the chill out, having just returned from a North Island escape
( which was covered in black ice, fog infested, single digit riding weather ) this setup kept me sane around them there mountains

[QUOTE=Murray;1129227210]Hi Guys & Girls

Back from a few days away. took the car down to wellington via Forgotten highway. Its a great road and I think you would all love it. Only concern was the 12 km of packed dirt road. The council fix the holes by dumping shovel loads of gravel in the holes and leaving it for the cars to flatten down. 1/2 of it had just been done so bit of a pain. Whangamonamoana republic was pretty much as expected and we had a good meal at the pub!! leaving

Came back home this way on Tuesday, gravel section much better now than when Jamal & I did it a month or two ago........ the difference being this time ??? imagine riding on black ice but in a mud colour :gob::gob: the view from Tahora saddle rest stop was breath taking, the three sister's in the far distance had a nice cap of snow on them all, magic

[Spazm]

icebreakers?? where they from??

You can get them at R & R Sport in Hamilton & many of the good outdoor pursuits stores.. they'll cost you an arm and a leg but they're supposed to be pretty good.. Ice Breaker have a couple of outlet stores in Auckland which can save you around $50 a shirt.. It's Merino wool and it's much finer than most other wools

nice vid,
id be hopeless to review it lol but if your keen have a chat to Dave if we go to the pub.

Yeah man the wind is the killer, i found the rainshell i got stops the wind nicely, of course the bike's off the road at the moment so i can't say conclusively that it works really well hehe

I haven't got icebreakers yet, saving as they are pretty serious on the cost side but polyprops do a fairly good job :)

Soft cock here can tell you all about them ;) He's still not convinced they're worth the money. Never buy icebreaker at normal retail prices. It's always on sale and bivouac sells old stock online for good value. Otherwise make a trip up to Dorkland and save a bit at the outlet.

You can get base layers for about $80 (discounted) and Jerseys sometimes for $90 (normally $250 at least). It's just thin and awesomely insulated. That's all I wear under my gears in the winter. Polypros smell too much and then they start too itch - any merino (icebreaker) doesn't really. If you hate wool - merino is better.

In saying that, only cool people have icebreaker. Probably not for you Dom since you're in team Yamahahahahahaha.

Murray - trippy clip - were you reliving your '70's Trip Sessions again?

[WhatThe???]

Im not too fussed and like I tell everyone else, you dent/break it,you bought it. But yea Dave is really the one you should talk to about that and since he changed his mind and we never ended up at the pub, probably wont be able to pin him down till next week. Work n stuff....

If you over heat your self or your environment, you will take longer to get rid of the flue, bugs love the warmth for breading
The trick is staying warm but being in a mild temperature - dress real warm but don't sit on a heater

Riding in cold weather, dressed warm but exposing your lungs to all that cold air will clear you up

And eat lots of fruit







Wacky advice is free - no responsibility taken if you end up with a worse flu

The trick is staying warm but being in a mild temperature - dress real warm but don't sit on a heater

Riding in cold weather, dressed warm but exposing your lungs to all that cold air will clear you up

And eat lots of fruit







Wacky advice is free - no responsibility taken if you end up with a worse flu

Not a bad price really. People can't see the difference between the new bike price and how much of a steal they get a 2nd one for. Pisses you off really. It's because there's moron's that are selling their bikes for real cheap screwing the rest of us up.

Brooke will be disappointed though...she was hoping to borrow it for her full test...I shall break the news to her gently (of course she hadn't asked you yet haha).

[Leyton]

Far out! That was quick! Well done

[HACHET]

That sounds utterly terrible, but since you're at it, blueberry muffins will go down a treat.



mate, you're easily pleased. It's only a 10r! If I didn't have 2 bikes I would have leant you the daytona, but since there's another perfectly good GT in the garage you're welcome to borrow that....on one condition...you sell it :) (For what I want all to all you cheeky buggers).

You're welcome to borrow it though. Old rules apply.

You boys on your 675 triple dipple toys the thing is you couldnt handle a big boys bike

Blue is the colour of allot of things too, in fact while i was out getting jeans the other day i saw a nice dark blue blouse that would suit you well.

The other day after going for a ride on my 10 i noticed a dark blue blouse that made me think of ckai.

[ckai]

Sweet, completely forgot about you getting your bike back. I don't even know when she's meant to be going for it.

Maybe she'll eventually come on here and enlighten us.

...and like I was saying, when I was riding around the waikato...

:)

[Leyton]

What's this in relation too?.. now that I think about it... nothing really, nothing at all. Just trying for the top post count.

Oh yeah thats right, It was in relation to Bryce selling his bike soo quick.

[wysper]

I was thinking of maybe doing a short run out to the Okoroire (http://www.okohotel.co.nz/bikeshed.php) on one of the weekends soon. :scooter:
Haven't really thought of a route, maybe a bit of a loop?

Anyone interested? Any ideas on a good route to take?

That would be a good little trip. I'd say the missus and mior would be keen. Not sure on a good route to take. There's the obvious one down Arapuni Road through Puta-ru-ru. Dunno though.

You planning and feeding and watering there I assume?

And I agree, if it is fine it should be a good ride. This weekend isn't looking too good is it.

Hey Leyton, my bike goes in for a tune up with Speed Tech not next week but the week after, so for me that weekend might be a good time. The weekend AFTER the service I mean.

[Leyton]

Service all booked Next Saturday :)

[Leyton]

So not this Sunday but next on the 20th is good for you ?
It is good for me too, My bike gets done on the 19th :)

Nice to hear from you Brooke.. I was just reading about an approaching cold snap! I am investigating warm gear at the moment. I will keep you posted.

Lift passes that day where free so was jus $20 to get the board (student prices mind) $25 petrol money and $10 for fish and chips in Timaru at dinnertime.
Cant remember what the prices are for Mt. Ruapahau. Look it up online, youd be expecting to pay about $80 for a day pass though.

haha bling sent :) What was the official "base" score for this? There looks like some little peepers every so often. Is that Broken River? I've always heard that place gets some powder.

I would give you more bing for the t but of course it doesn't let ya.

How about a medal... :first:

The offical base is 90cm. On the trails youd be getting that, if you go for a walk up the edges it gets less naturally. The field was Mt. Dobson, one of the 20odd skifields down here. Its about 60kms inland from Timaru. I dunno where broken river is :confused:

Long term forecast looks great for Sunday (21st) so if anyone interested lets look at doing this route. leave Hotel at 11.00 (allows for frosts etc to dry out). Can meet at Hotel if $10 breakfast wanted at 9.45 and just talk some crap until 11.00 for those interested!!

[Leyton]

I am keen Weather Permitting Murray, My riding gear should be dry by then :P

[WhatThe???]

ooooo!!! we will come if its fine :)

aaannndddd....

anyone keen to go snowboarding let us know too, its boring on ya own...

[crazyhorse]

I have seen allot of new riders on 250's and other riders who aren't so keen on racing or trying to keep up with the super sports looking for some organised rides around hamilton.

I am on a zx6rr but i am looking to enjoy a relaxed ride rather than race anything.

Was thinking of getting a group started for a ride or 2 a week when people are keen.

Weather pending (http://metvuw.com/forecast/forecast.php?type=rain&region=nzni&noofdays=all) i would like to organise a ride for a couple of hours on sunday.

I am thinking somewhere in the middle of 11am to 3pm starting at the garden centre in kahikatea drive with a coffee, will be on everyone to decide where to go but i was thinking raynes road - mystery creek - cambridge - morrinsville and hadn't thought any further :)

Anyways, drop a message in here if you are interested.

Just because the others may wish to ride fast - does not mean that you have to keep up with them or cannot ride with them. If you all agree to end at a certain place, then perhaps they could have two routes planned, one for the bigger and faster bikes and they take a longer route, and one for the riders who are either learning or wish to cruise to the destination - often a shorter route. We have done this and all met up at the planned stop. Means there is no pressure on either group and everyone gets to enjoy the ride.

You are so unlearned http://www.brokenriver.co.nz/. Apparently one of the best for powder. I reckon there's more than 30 fields if you include the clubbies. There's a crap load!

MMm ride on Sunday? Might be a go depending on head status.

You're just a couple of millennia out of date here crazyhorse...and maybe preaching to the converted as well....besides, I love busting my arse trying to keep up with the loonies...:laugh:

In fact the LOR group works very well indeed - come join us one day!

I could be in for this !!

[mister.koz]

I could be in for this !!

I hope to make this one too, or i will be doing a longer route with less stops and more roads :)

[slofox]

I'll see what I can do as well. I have to be back in the Tron about 1.00pm but I can surely start the run and just peel off when I have to...

Idea for sunday:

Quickish route for those who can't be out all day.
* start 8:30 at rocket ham east leaving 9am
* Mclaren falls
* Greerton (coffee)
* vegas (gas/food)
* pirongia (coffee)
* the rapa (coffee)

Definately preaching to the converted there, we've been doing the "ride at your own" the whole time :) (since october) i would like to see dual rides as well so the quicker riders don't have to stop for so long and the other riders don't try and keep up.

See how it pans out.

[Leyton]

OMG, I had a closer look, That is FANTASTIC!

Leslie Road from the Manaku's, Is that sealed ?

Just add to the Laxed Reply : Yes we are indeed VERY converted, We are lucky enough to have sensible types both new and experience on the rides. Come along!!!! COME COME!!! Enjoy you will be welcome.

Two routes from you for the same day MR KOZ???? You must be cooking on gas!!

[mister.koz]

Its only the one, the other one requires planning, annual leave and somehow packing gear on my 10 :blank:

[mister.koz]

Besides, i have to get my post count up somehow :laugh:

[Leyton]

Hey Koz, I just checked out Leslie road, It is a Swampy Gravel road :) the sportys would be stuffed hehe

I have changed it a smudge http://www.motowhere.com/maps/route/Koz-s-Ride-changed-a-small-bit

Now time to cook dinner, I am going to try and cook what I ate last Sunday night MMmMmm, Chicken Cashew nut thingy I will call it.

[slofox]

I might do this so's I can be back in time to go to d'Auckland in 'tafternoon...

[rideon]

This loop goes nowhere Napier folks. Still hav a VTR down there waiting to be picked up ...........might be some snow & ice on the road by the time we can get there. Have a good one on Sunday & we might get on one of these again when she's finally home :cold:

[Leyton]

Eeek, Was just going to say give me the gas for the little Starlet and I will drive you down so you can ride up on Sat.

I would have suggested Rav4 but that thing would cost around $70 to get to Napier, and $70 back compaired to the startlet being humm prolly around $80 round trip.

Labour charge :

1 Pie + V per 150km
