Looking for people to ride with in Whakatane/bop area

**Dirty Heathen** · 22nd November 2009, 08:13

Posted in the meeting events but no reply's so thought I might try here.

Looking for people to ride with mainly I guess other 250 riders as more experienced guys on bigger bikes would not enjoy the slower noob riding pace.

Not looking to organize massive groups rides hopefully maybe just get a group of 3-5 of us for rides or even a couple of people would be good.

not looking for idiots to ride with safety first.

None of my mates have bikes so looking to meet some new people to ride with I am 31 and married so don't worry this is not a attempt to meet females lol by the way.

bro. Try out some of the Mentors on here. You will find that most guys on bigger bikes always have time for noobs of any age or stage of riding. We all started somewhere

For sure man its always really good to ride with people that are a lot better then you as well as good way to learn.

But would be nice to find some people to just give a call and go for a ride somewhere.

Hehe, many of the females on here are 41 and ARE looking for nice boys, so you broke a few hearts there I'd say.

Get all the local riders you see on KB, and send them a friends request and a PM regarding what days you are free for rides. This way they can get back to you at their leisure when they are heading out. Or else just get on your bike and go see people - that has always worked, bikers or not.

Mattian is right.. many fully licensed riders are quite happy to pootle along behind you and keep things quiet and safe.

There are rider games to get involved in too, like Tagorama, so tee up a tag buddy and go get those tags.

I wouldn't mind kicking off a local drinkies evening at some regular time and/or place.

yer for sure Steve would keen to meet for drinks get to know some local riders for sure.

But yer if you or your wife daughter and going for ride let me know would be happy to tag along of thats ok I saw you guys in the beacon family shot about acc was a good read hole bloody family off Hyos

I see your daughter riding past my workshop most days cruising along past the hub she stands out on a red bike with red gear.

**CookMySock** · 22nd November 2009, 14:00

Yeah thats her, bro - off to school. She loves her Comet. Did you know the lad has an after school job at the car yard right across the road from you? He has just bought a loud GT650R which I expect him to be on ASAP after he gets his full license this coming week.

Well lets have a go at a regular biker drinkies evening. Where?

Steve

Ahh hard case is that your boy?

Seen him over there heaps there was a yellow hyo 250 over there the other day.

Ahh as for where maybe the crack? nice sitting out side on a nice afternoon but not fussed they have nice meals there as well.

Is there even a MC club down here I think undies organize some rides.

I just ripped my forks off today got a leaking seal and might get them re-chromed as well so bike might be off the road for a couple weeks rust is around the top but I see some pitting further down would rather spend the extra now and get them done them end up having to do seals every 6 weeks.

Yeah, that's my bike. He sold his bike in anticipation of getting a 650 but he gets his full license in the next week, so he'll be riding his latest acquisition.

I'll be selling that bike soon, since Steve will be getting my 650 Comet sorted as soon as the motor gets here from the States

I'm looking forward to it......

Crack should be ok. The bar needs to have a supervised license, so the youngun learner riders can come along with their parentscough. We got kicked out of one bar coz of that - wasnt very pleasant.

They sell food I think as far as the rule goes you can have underage people there if they sell food.

**TuonoTom** · 23rd November 2009, 16:51

Hey I just got home (to Whakatane) and I'm always keen for a ride. Flick me a PM and we can organise something.

Tom

nah mate, they have to have a supervised license or underage are out. Best if someone just asks. Doesn't matter too much the first time, or if we are seated outside anyway,
