Guy Fawkes Auckland 250 ride, BBQ + Fireworks

[WarlockNZ]

Nice one Mav

10 points for organisation...come a long way since the first one, hehe.

The route was really awesome, cannot believe that we have such good roads out here in the east.

Was really good catching up with some of the KB's that hadn't been seen for a while and also putting some new faces to regular names.

Looking forward to seeing those vids Rookie..

Cheers for the ride guys, was a great ride, especially on a day where I didnt feel like going too hard. Was good fun playing with the fireworks, especially the few that went in unexpected directions!

Nice photos there warlock, especially 15. Surprised the world coped with having so much awesome present in only 2 bikes. Love to know what tristan was doing in #12. Hurry up and youtube that video gareth!

Cheers again for the hospitality and organising the ride mav, thats a nice pad you've got.

Thanks Mav,

Making your pad the landing base for the bike squadron was appreciated! Cheers for the drinks and watching the fireworks bang off was good - riding home, hardly any cages about

Got to the motorway and there was smoke just wafting across from all the explosives being let off around!

Missed the ride today but will hopefully get to ride with you all again sometime soon!

Very handy little ride, and just what I needed, nothing long like a coro (which needs an early wake up) and still a bit of fun to be had.

Spent some time at the back being TEC with Warlock, and trying to offer the odd riding tips etc, then spent a bit of time hounding a slippery little 250 in the twisties

Cheers Mav

And a welcome addition you were as well .. loving that bike .. hmmm ... i'm looking forward to getting something with some more "get up and fuck off"

Wow, looks like it was a zxr party, i shouldve added mine to it. Unfortunately mine has its brakes on the floor and its gonna get its forks ripped off 2mrw for a bit of tinkering. Also dirty old work got in the way Any of you zxrers wanna give me a hand to pull it apart?

Cheers mav and everyone that turned up! Was an awesome afternoon and the fireworks were pretty cool in the end (as was the little random blat around the empty carpark).

Big ups to Rookie who has improved heaps since i last saw him out riding! Good stuff bro.

The 250 rides are coming along good, was fun to hang out with you guys as well as heading off for a blat with Tristan - that guy is too fast!

I'll try and get that video of Ardmore quarry up and posted, until i get a new computer i wont be able to do much with the other video except for watching it on the TV, i've watched some and its come out really good.

Cheers again to Maverick and the 250 crew, good to see some dedicated riders coming through!

cheers mate

Man you suited being on the 250, seriously man i think you need to go back to your roots....come on admit it - you had a blast on that thing.

Part of me really regrets not making the 250 ride on 5th Nov but Faaaaark that Taupo full track rocks!

Did the commute to work this morning weary but felt more in control than usual - it's good to get a bit closer to the limits of your bike - allows you to fling it around a bit more.

Feel really guilty about R6 kid talking of new 250 dedicated riders and I didn't bother my arse turning up eh? Shame on me.

Next time fellas eh?

Well i didnt go, but it looked and sounded like a hell of a lot of fun. Ill definately will have to be there for the next one


Interesting looking at the photos.
I rekkon that Evo 9 in the carpark would give most of you a good going over in the twisties. Just food for thought.
Also thats some great kiwi thinking for the video set up.! haha it'll probably be real shaky, but hey being there is everything
Anywho.

Probably catch u guys on the next one

I'm sorry??, did you just mention a car on a bike forum ??? dude ... bad form ... BAD FORM... you should have been paying more attention to the bikes man ... if i didn't know better i'd say you were a closet boy racer.

[Tickler]

Er...um...yeah - like - it's got a 2 litre Turbocharged engine and lots of little computers telling the wheels when to stop and when to go and really fucken short service intervals and costs about 20 times the price of a 250cc used motorcycle so fuck yeah, it might just keep up with a 250cc imported bike with a Learner on it coz it only needs a moron behind the wheel to keep it on the road at insane speeds (the car does all the work not the driver) whereas the bike requires talent, precision and guts.

Now now ... be nice ... keep the scotsman in the cage (not a reference to cars).

Hes a young lad and dosn't know the joy of dragging off a tricked out car at the lights on a 250 ..
