Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[wickle]

BP refused to put a flyer for this http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...15&postcount=8 in their window. I suggest we think about changing our meeting point*. Why support those that won't support 'us'?




*Perhaps to Mobil, who were quite happy to display it? Only problem is the association that might come from the 'other lot' that meet there...

With reference to your poster! I manage BP Greenmeadows,I ride on regular bases have been meaning to catch up on one of your rides, I have organised posters for HB Classic Club bike show, Queens Birthday w/end posters to be put up in all of our sites, Big Boss rides too! So should be no problem he normally supports bike stuff in general including Cold Duck. Pop in and see at work (mornings)

Thanks. I will do that.
Just to clarify...BP Taradale Road were the refusers.
So it seems that the individual garage is the problem, not the company. Good to know.

fuck your'll have more luck with a bucket walking around town, local need haha around this hawkes bay yea right

[MSTRS:Me]

Huh?

[slimjim]

our club hold's alot of funrasing support rides and over the eighteen years of riding to these event's, you get to see a large number just drop away, unless KB's are that well grouped you'll be disappointed with number's that turn up, so when i read that you can not do it all your self , understand that alot has to be done and so many never come forward to help so few ,wish ya's the best

[MSTRS:Me]

So you are saying that few will help? That's ok...only need a few. Obviously you are not one of those few - or are you?

[slimjim]

obviously little few will , however i am not one of those few , was with the Few, as said wish ya's all thee best

Whooo WHOoo what a day at the track. We took the RG to the Taupo track for a shake down today. A precursor to the VIC club winter series. We have not tested since the Taupo spectacular back in December. So it was all a bit hit and miss.

The bike started so that was a good start for the day. 4 laps in to the first session we saw Speights_Bud slow and then the left hand was lifted as he headed for the grass. Gary and I had a sinking feeling. What the F**() has gone wrong with that bike now? We talked about all the things it could be and we could not get to the bike as it was sitting at the entrance to pit lane. After the track was cleared Speights_Bud pushed it over to pit lane and we realised it was outa fuel. How embarrassing.

We did some measuring and calculating and filled the fuel for the second session. Off to the track again. We had wanted to hit the 1.59s for the bike today. Speights_Bud got down to the 1.58 in that session and the bike ran like a train. It was just on song and he road it like it was on rails. Well done that man. We had some tyre issues after that session. The front was good but the rear was way to hot with bits falling off and with in one session the new tyre looked second hand. So out with the pump and the gauge. Lots of talking and bull shit and we changed the tyre pressure.

Off for the third run of the day. I saw the times come down again and we are so pleased with the way the bike ran. The tyre problem seems to be resolved. All in all a great practice day. I think we can say we are as ready as any team can be for the race day.


Well done Speights_Bud and we look forward to next Sundays race day. Hope we get of the start line. Missed you today George. Hope you are well mate.

Sorry about the grammar and spelling. Too stuffed to check it. See below for meeting time tomorrow.

Planning meeting at Breakers at 10.00 am for the Fund raiser for the Westpac chopper. Please come along.



Cheers for the heads up SlimJim. What you say is true but it is worth a try. We can only advertise a ride and if 2 bikes turn up or 200 so be it. Better than sitting on our hands and living off others. But thanks for the heads up. I won’t be so disappointed now when it fails. Cheers.
