Manawatu Rant n Rave

[NZsarge]

Doesn't look too bad out toward the coast and that's where it's coming from. Though what I can see will be overhead in 20 minutes. Don't know what's beyond that???

Cheers mate, i'll have a bit of lunch and a shower and head over, sick of being couped up....

evil bastards.


Manfield was mint today. Very very wet and was very busy on crash recovery. Good day though.

How was the Bacon and Egg pie, and Banana Cake ??? Did you enjoy???

Yeah I might just do that, don't expect me though, i'll text you to see if it's ok before I drop by if I do.

Afternoon all.
Suppose its about time i introduced myself.
Im Matt and im not quite an alcoholic. I used to live in Hamilton but moved down to Feilding so my partner could go to Massey Uni. We both ride, i've got a little Hyosung GV250 which i have out grown (can upgrade in a month or two), and my partner had a CBR250RR until it blew bits out the side of the crankcase.

Im pretty sure i have met some of you briefly before, Warr, TerminalAddict, my partner and myself came down for a ride a while back, and met up with some KB'ers at a pub in Palmerston? I believe someone had a 2 stroker there?

Anyway, I thought it was about time i got out and started going for rides with the KB folk down this way, rather than outings by myself. I used to ride with the Hamilton folk nearly every week until we moved, So its about time i started again.
Whens the next trip ?

Welcome, yes I was among the ones that you meet. Chanceyy was the one with the 2stroke, but no longer she now has a Bandit 1200.

Just keep an eye on this thread or http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=73009 as this is where rides are posted.

Sad I know, looking this far ahead to the next ride but however, long range forecast is looking ok for next weekend, sunday is probably the better option at this point. Anyone have any ideas?
Here's a couple of thoughts:
1. Loop from Manawatu through the usual route to Masterton then over the Taka's etc back up the west coast.
2. Usual route through to Masterton then out Castle Point and back.

Can anyone tell i'm bored!

Howdy.

Best upgrade to a Yamaha then

I'd be quite keen to do the Rimutaka's, though it depends on where the cross over is to the west coast. I don't think I ever want to ride the Akatarawa's on a bike. Scary enough with four tyres!

Hi Matt and welcome! It wasn't Rex's bar you were at was it? That's generally where bikers hang out after rides on the weekends.

[banditrider]

Hopefully weathers better tomorrow. Have you hit the 20k yet?

Nice all the way to the plains. Had fun on Highway 50. Put wets on at the plains and came back in blustery and very wet conditions. And still the Pirelli's hold on (phew!). New ones going on on tuesday.

Sitting on about 20,600kms now - will catch up to Cowboyz any day now...
