Waikato ADV rides!

[Oscar]

Do it.... This is all sounding rather draconian. Fun police etc.

No offense intended for the threds regulators, any I have talked to have been salt of the earth types.

Jeebus, it's not about fun police or regulators.
It's about a thread called "Waikato Adv rides!", where guys from Auckalnd, Wellington and Hamilton are crapping on about what sort of bike they want


Anyway - someone mentioned a local get together.
Who's up and where?

[Oscar]

Also - I've been asked to run "An Introduction to AdvRiding" at the HMCC.

A guided ride on a club night plus maybe a discussion and/or bike display afterwards.
Any ideas?
Volunteers?

What are the rules? ... Just so there's no confusion.

Basic common sense.

However, based on your inability to understand a simple thread title, you may have to get someone to explain that to you.

How's your PL insurance?

I don't know anything about the group you are dealing with but my involvement with N00bs on gravel has usually resulted in disapointment for someone, probably not the result you want (but makes for good photos).

If you're after something interactive and fun find a farm paddock and let them loose in there (possibly on a small trail bike) through a simple gymkhana course, provide a selection of short videos and beer.

Then arrange some short rides for those interested, you've got heaps of readily accessible stuff, gravel, beach, 42nd crossing etc

Fortunately, as far as insurance is concerned I'm in the biz.
Our initial thoughts are a guided ride from the Hamilton Motorcycle Club Rooms at 5.30 - 6 on a club night.
Say, out to Old Mountain Road and back through Lime Works Loop Road past Priongia.
Prolly 30% Gravel.

I get the bit about that this thread is for ADV Rides in the Waikato-that's why I am looking at bit after all, my point is really that the discussion was connected with ADV riding in the Waikato. Besides there's only a handfull of people that are active in this thread and who knows given that we probably travel the same roads we could well come across each other-as long as the discussion is vaguely on tiopic is it such ahuge issue?

Jeez, I can't imagine why people on forums like this would hassle you
One of the biggest problem with this board is noise to signal ratio, and this is a thread that you can look in quickly to see who is riding locally, and where (it is after all called "Waikato ADV rides!", not "ADV Bikes for the Waikato"). So I simply made the suggestion that if you'd like to discuss you choice of bike you start another thread.

[Keithf]

which is exactly the kind of comment that turns people off being involved in threads like this and participating and contributing for the benefit of all.

Let me know when it's on and I can put an advert up for it on my various places. Could be interested in attending too if it's open to non members.

and back through Lime Works Loop Road past Priongia.

Don't forget the koha required to use limeworks loop.
It can be paid in motorcycle oil packs, or left lil finger. Your choice.

Done:-) The alternative Waikato ADV riders thread

Maybe there does need to be a 'Waikato Adventure rides chit chat thread'.

Didn't mean to cause a fuss.

This is part of the reason I asked about posting ride reports on here, seemed like it was ok from the responses and non, that I got.... And they don't fit the scope you're talking about.
