Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[Dooly]

An idea.

BP Clive 11.30-12, Tuki, Kahuranaki, Patangata for lunch?

Takers?

[Dooly]

Would that be a right hander going up the hill about half a k from the shingle?

Yes, a RH that went tighter & tighter. Did'nt get to the shingle as we stopped when John dropped his TL, but I think it was close to the shingle.

Could'nt believe it either, fuel light came on on way home from the Classic Club, only showing 130kms done on the ride!!!
Thats worse than small tank VTR1000!!!
Musta been using the gas pedal a bit.

Shirl did 160 km from Havelock return. So think your odometer must be out

And the corner was a Left handed one. Was right when we went back down the hill though

John crashed on a LH, but my one was before and a tight RH.
But LH on way back......

Got a small tank on my Duc and a digi odometer.
But I reset the odometer when I gassed up at Tamatea, so 130 from there.

Think I'll stay home and get the DR going and have a hoon around the paddocks.

Cancel my previous thoughts about a ride.

[crazyhorse]

Ohhhhh, that's sad. Although we did have the thought of calling in to say gidday, but will need to see as have some things to do first.

Nice day to hoon around your paddock too

Remember to get your dirt bikes ready for the 20th, Next week…….Sunday………. for a ride on the farm. I have picked an interesting ride on the farm tracks. Some is hard some is not. Mostly on tracks but some tracks are a bit ….ummmm…. ruffish. We can help each other around if needs be. Than I will point you to a big hill and you can go and play. Oh yea, you can play in the bog if you want. You bringing your 4x4 Tod? You cold show them how real men drive.

Would be good if you have safety stuff. It is up to you to wear it. I will lead you on an old AG 200 so you will have to let me get well ahead

Might be in for that Steve. Will know later in the week.
The DR is going sweet, had a good thrash today.

Can bring the missus's Honda XLR125 if anyone wants to use that.

When are you back from Chch? bout time we had a beer

Simon has probably already put your dirt wheels back on

[speights_bud]

i might pop out to the farm for this, the lil' KLX140 will do nicely for a pootle if G4E doesn't mind Bex will be up so might have to take her for a ride

Had a chat to G4E, i'd be super keen to try out a few laps on the Tard at buckets if you don't mind

Yes you can use it but you will not be able to carry Becks on the ride I had planned. Maybe you can take a group on an easier ride and I can take the harder ride? Or vice versa
Was going to go up the zig-zag in the George over the top down the blackberry face along the flat up the second to end face, far end via the far face, along the middle track , up the hill cross over the top of the George and down the woolshed side. Will that ride work for this group? But not really a pillion ride. You could lead the same ride but take an easier rout as not all might like the harder ride........?

I just found this on the home page,
Theres more if you follow the link

The Group Ride Guide


Group rides. Many like minded individuals meet up to share their passion for sport, ride some excellent roads, enjoy the company of old and meet new friends and talk shit. Unfortunately, all too often however these excursions are marred by an accident – or worse, we lose a friend.
Make no mistake it is a dangerous game we play at the best of times, but there are some things particular to group rides that can catch out the unwary.

An approach was made to the wise and powerful Mental Trousers to try and find a way to bring together a group of folk from a broad spectrum of KB and see if we could reach a consensus on these factors and what could be done to mitigate them.

What follows is the fruit of those discussions. A set of guidelines which we hope, if adopted and followed will go some way toward reducing the risks associated with group rides and make them more enjoyable for all participants.

It is hoped that organisers will state that rides will be run in accordance with The Group Ride Guide and provide a link to this in their announcement and/or calendar event posts. It is anticipated that the guidelines can not cover every situation nor should all be applicable to every ride. But please, let people know what to expect so that they may make an informed decision as to whether they should attend the ride or not.

I won’t name names, I think MT has access to a list of all participants, and some, for various reasons wished to remain anonymous. As you know, trying to get consensus on any given topic from more than a couple of people can be difficult, so for my part I would like to thank everyone for their co-operation, time, effort, ideas and constructive input. Well done guys.

Yea no worries mate, just make yourself known, might try and pop out on saturday the 3rd, but probably not as will be helping out with the 6 hour, but sunday for sure, hopefully itll be sunny and will put the slicks on, but ill let you know either way.

The old man has a drz250 to play on, got a set of kx forks on for a better ride. He hasnt been off-road on my tractor as yet, he's a bit worried about the front wheel popping up on him all to quickly, or getting into trouble and then grabbing a hand full of power...
