Lookin for Wellington tree riders

[Ride it till the red]

Im still keen for a ride and can go almost anytime, just let me know when and where guys.

Whats the moonshine track all about, is this private land or can any1 ride it? and where is the entrance?, i have a permit to ride karapoti but the more places to ride the better, especially if they in the upper hutt area.

Take it easy guys

Moonshine track is run by the KMMC. Have to ride on the organised club days etc etc. Best to give them a call if keen, number will be online somewhere if you google Kapi Mana Motorcycle Club.

Top of Brooklyn hill at the windmill carpark this Friday arvo if your keen on a ride. Going up to ride the MX track up there with a few mates and your welcome to tag along. $20 per bike, MX track and some trail riding too. We'll probably arrive about 5 and ride for a few hours (with numerous stops to talk, eat, drink etc obviously). Can get me on 0274285176 if need be. James

Hi mate, I'm keen for a ride on karapoti sometime ... i'm very slow though and bike unfit (list goes on and on)

I usually struggle to find time but try to go whenever possible even alone.

BTW I'm also on upper hutt.

Cheers,
Pampa

Hey Pampa,
Sounds good mate, the more of us to ride with the better.

Kezzafish and i went for a ride at karapoti during the week and im not the fastest rider either and hadnt been on a decent ride in over a decade so was pretty rusty and not that bike fit either so i wouldnt worry to much (Kezz kicked my ass lol) but i still had a blast it was a real fun ride and i opened it up where i could. was good to meet kezz (top guy and great to ride with), im always keen to ride as it sounds like alot are from the welly area, is just catching up when every1 is free, but i can go almost anytime so always keen just message me and will always get back to ya.

A big thx to Kezza, thanks for showing me Karapoti mate i had a blast and was great to meet and ride with ya, will have to do it again soon and also hit the firebreaks i was telling ya about, mabey we can drag pornstar along with us lol.

Excellent, I'll be in touch. Karapoti is great and much better during week as less people around less risk of someone coming other direction ;p

I'll try to organise myself and let you know.

I think it would also be a good idea to post here whenever ride is about to happen so we can see I we can join in, what do you reckon?

Speaking of that...... Bit of a tale to tell.....

Last monday I got a message from Pornstar about going for a ride, I said yes and that was the start of it!

Exhausted from riding Sat and Sun I rushed through getting the bike ready and out to Karapoti, we unloaded and Pornstar suggested link track then rollercoaster then home. I looked at a bald rear tire and sceptically agreed. Bad move number one on my part.

We headed off up the gorge and I was just starting to wake up and feel good on the bike when oh fuck, oh fuck he hasn't even seen me, oh fuck he's not braking and I'm braking so hard I'm on the front wheel and can't turn, oh fuck that hurt! Result was oncoming rider looking a bit shady and having his radiator and shroud pulled backwards and me having a sore hand and a bent front disc.

After a bit of straightening we headed on. Bad move number two on my part. After riding like a muppet along the main tracks I eventually found Pornstar at the start to the link track and we headed in. My bent front disc continued to make braking a real problem and slideouts constant and it wasn't long before I realised my hand wasn't getting better infact it was getting worse!

By the summit it was decided that we would finish the track then head back the easy way. Pain, pain and more pain all the way back but we made it. An eventful little ride albeit probably quite a boring one for Pornstar. Round two once I'm recovered is at a mx track ay mate?

Taking this weekend off to rest my hand hasn't been much fun but with any luck I'll be sweet for next weekend!

Moral of the story, Karapoti deserves respect and shouldn't be riden tired, with bald tires or after a crash. Oh that and I need to get one of those fancy KTM things for tight bush tracks, Pornstar and his shiny bike made things look effortless and he wouldn't stop bragging about the hydroulic clutch... Bastard!

[Rocketfuel]

Ouch Red thats gota hurt lol,

Totally aggree about respect karapoti, way i see it is if you see cars or trailers in the carpark take even more care than normal but always assume someone coming the other way.When Kezza and i went out was my first time to Karapoti so i was pretty slow and cautious on the way in to the orange hutt and then kezza took me on an interesting way home up this huge ass hill they had cut a track in, what a blast to say the least lol, feeling a bit more confident on the ride home i started to open the throttle alot more and i had a blast on the uphill parts all the way back, was a great ride for us cause we didnt see anyone on the track just a young blonde in one of the rivers lol.

Hope your feeling better red and not to sore still, i felt your pain just by reading your post and i was thinking about pain everytime i saw a hairy part of Karapoti (almost all the way lol)
In any case Karapoti is a hell of alot of fun and i was a bit of a Nanna on the downhill sections but i got back to the carpark in 1 piece lol


Need to get out again real soon was alot of fun riding with kezza so hopefully we can catch up with you and pornstar for a ride sometime

Have a good 1 and hope the hands better soon!

[pampa]

Good to hear you're alright-ish ...

Yeah I'm always worried of that happening, even if you go slow there not guarantee the other one will

Also I couldn't go three days on a row usually too knackered after going once :LOL, not that the missus will let me

Well its safe to say the lads had an excellent... adventure/ride yesterday, It was Kezzas idea to take the mountain bike vine track that litarally turned into just bush after riding down a narrow creek for a whiles, the 450 boys were not fully happy, then after finding our way down to a river we followed that for a K or 2 until we found the way into the forest, a bit of earthwork was needed to prep the scoured out bank, Dave and Darryls moral support from atop their bikes was invaluable, then onto some more open tracks and a long uphill drag (450 boys much happier now)that got up to 100k resulting in my little orange bike melting half my indicator of from the exhuast. then an old enduro loop/one long rut(the cut out tree ledge was primo) then some more fast stuff that resulted it snake bites to the rear tube, so pulled into orange hut for a quick patch job. after that it was staircase/ rock garden then home with a flat front.
All in all Primo day.(oh yeah, then of ta work)
