calm down guys.....im just getting my excuses for the speed of the 650 in early....since i notice from the photos you all have big 4's.....cept the guzzi of course...
Yep, they is a big heavy lot of bikes for sure. Riding with them - It is like being the coal cart on a freight train. Of course you know they can't park them up too long at the beach eh? After about 20 mins all these hippies in wetsuits come out of nowhere and start trying to push them all out to sea
Dodgyiti Yep, they is a big heavy lot of bikes for sure. Riding with them - It is like being the coal cart on a freight train. Of course you know they can't park them up too long at the beach eh? After about 20 mins all these hippies in wetsuits come out of nowhere and start trying to push them all out to sea Coal cart? I dunno if you were that much of a burden, though I did notice you seemed to need to shift load from side to side to get the old dear to stay on the track around corners. I gotta say I thought it was very brave of you to venture near the sea again,.. given that boats seem to confuse your old guzzies with moorings
LOL Oh Croc that was a low SLIMEY blow! Guzzies an moorings! he he eh, sorry Dodgyiti, but that was funny. cmoore sounds like a lot of fun, perhaps not this Sunday, if we're all going East to meet up with the jmk's at Kaiaua. Were there Hippies at Shelley beach? eye didn't see em. In case there isn't a post up yet the jmk's of Hammytown are riding to kaiaua with the Hamy Laxed out Riders and Ulyses boys and girls this Sunday! So if anyones interested in a nice jaunt about the coast road post em up!

Mr Moore, you just have to go back in the thread to find the story. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...=75928&page=17 I don't have any inerlecekual property, for that I would have to be an interlectaul? Or this is eaiser- Quote: caseye LOL well you see it begins with "Once upon a time" on the Coro loop ride. Anyway we had two riders down but not out,both suffered but walked away, their bikes, well not so lucky. I'll let the pictures the others post tell the sorry story about the guys beautiful Moto's. So the Blast from The Past Riders event for today was cut dramatically short when two of our number were involved in a freaky accident that involved a large bump in the road , a car and boat combination and some unfortunate road positioning as a result of hitting this large bump. Good old Dodgyiti was almost able to come to a complete stop before the sickening realisation that the trailer and boat coming towards him on his side of the road were not! So in the finest tradition of self preservation he laid down his trusty stead and sheltered behind it, a move which I am 100% certain saved his life. The boat and trailer flipped over his bike, sending the boat catapulting over the bank and onto the rocks below smashing it up terribly. Injuries here, one biker with two broken fingers a puncture wound to one of them(courtesy of the hurtling trailer and boat hitting his hand on the high side of his handle bars) and a broken upper arm bone.This rider walked out of Thames Hospital with us some 3 hours latter. As did his friend and fellow Moto rider who nevertheless also suffered a sore back injury and most probably a dislocated shoulder as a result of taking the ROCK bank on the other side of the road instead of putting himself directly in the path of the oncoming car and boat and forcing them into Dodgyiti. This action meant that his Moto suffered terribly but that he and Dodgyiti were going to walk away, I salute his decisive and painful decision to almost certainly destroy his beautiful bike and make sure as best he could that there were no others involved, unfortunately no one could have predicted the boat trailer jack knifing and still collecting Dodgyiti. This was to be the BFTP Riders last ride before Christmas and it was going extremely well, we had 9 bikes and ten riders attend a very early morning start in Manurewa for a leisurely trip down the back roads of Papakura and then up the Paparata road to Maramarua and on to Kopu where we rendevousd with another two bikes and riders. All was well at this point except that we lost ol Steel Rider, last seen heading in the direction of Coromandel we think? Where are ya Steel Rider? Also our resident hard trailer(Surfer) who had toiled magnificently with bumpy roads and fast sections (which only make his bike vibrate even more) turned for home from here too, after wishing us all a safe and glorious ride. Well the ride stopped just out of Thames with the above accident happening. Our riders did a great job of making sure traffic was controlled and getting medical assistance to those who needed it, assisting the Local Volly Fire brigade and attending Ambo's and Police. We all got to watch the local recovery driver simply drag the poor old boat up the rocks ripping it's outboard in half and tearing the topsides completely off the hull, mental note don't let that lot tow or recovery anything! Van courtesy of (Max headroom) and his son arrived and we managed to stow both battered Moto's inside and get them to safety. All in all I believe that without the two riders involved both keeping their heads and doing what they did we'd be talking about a a very different outcome. I'm pleased to be able to say that everyone who left this morning has by now arrived safely back home this evening though two of our number will be nursing injuries for a few weeks to come. Dodgyiti ol Max has all the pictures before and after mate so i hope he puts em up soon for you guys. PS: as if it's not long enough already but I had to say this. Many thanks to all the other bikers out there who stopped and enquired after our guys and made offers of assistance, special thanks to the unnamed man on the Castrol Honda who offered his premise Thames Honda(I believe) and a vehicle to recover and store the guys bikes, though a generous offer we had already sorted that by then, but THANKS again.
aahhhh...the boat story....caseye did mention it..over steak and chips i think at huntly??......i didn't realise it was you guys....thanks....
