Any Wellington riders? (Adulf)

Hi Everyone, Wellington Rides

I've just joined and think the site is great. Me and a mate are keen to hook up with anyone in the Wellington region for weekend rides. If you live on two wheels, we are keen to meet you and go for a blat. I ride a Buell XB and my mate rides a Busa.

If anyone can give me some direction for good road rides clubs in the greater Wellington region, it would be greatly appreciated.

Great day to all.

Welcome to KB! If you look in the meetings and events calender/forum there are some organised Welly rides in there. Might see you around.

Hi ya Adulf!
Loads of people out riding in Welly, but not too many planned group rides due to the unpredictability of the weather and most of us are pussys.
There is often a regular Sunday morning ride that leaves the Caltex next to the Rimataka tavern at 10am on Sunday mornings. There's a thread somewhere about, search TCSMR.
Have fun, may catch ya at the top of the Rimatakas some time.

Wgtn KBer's are a VERY dodgy group! If you need a list of people that you shouldnt ride with then let me know.....

And it has nothing to do with the fact that you girls just love to gossip and spend all day in here right ?

Welcome Adulf - rides during winter are pretty hit and miss. Cause wet roads are not as much fun !

But on any given (fine) weekend, you will no doubt find some of us at the top of the Takas or Toppy's Cafe in Martinborough.

Just approach people and ask if they are a 'kiwibiker fag' - bound to get the right response !!

Welcome Adulf. Ignore the girls - I do. They're just like all girls, can't stop gossiping.

Watch the Meetings and Events thread. There's also rides leaving from Rimutex. Search for Rimutex and you'll find them.

welcome.
try this link for rides over winter

Hey guys,

Thanks loads for all the feed back. I can completely relate to the comment about changeable weather in Welly. but my goal this winter is to harden up and not take the car to work once (Thats the goal, not sure if it will happen but hey). Go hard or go home is my 08 crie.

I'm also keen to do a Taupo track day and get some pointers on getting the buell over, so anyone thats given this a go, please let me know.

See you at the top Welly bikers!

Welcome to the site.

This isn't a Welly ride as such, but a couple of us will be heading up over Queens Birthday weekend. The calendar doesn't show it but there's over 20 going so far and it was a great weekend last year where you get to meet KB'ers from around the country.

yeah I can vouch for that

I do need to get out on a ride soon as it's been way to long. Might even have to put the L plates back on the way I'm feeling

Welcome to the site adulf, I have made some fanTAZtic friends on this site, so get out there and meet some of the boys and girls.

I must say that its a real tribute to all of you. Coming along as a complete forum virgin, I've been really impressed to see what a really lively and positive bunch of bikers there are out their.

Thanks for all your help and I look forward to meeting some of you around the traps.
