Melb/vic Member's..read This!!!

Hey all:hellobye With summer drawing to a close,thought itd be a good time to TRY and organise something down the track for an ALL IN cruise before the crappy weather kicks in. It was thrown up oin the air at a recent ride we were all on from Ari about booking out Phillip Island for a trackday,and as great as that would be,not everyone would take their bike on the track and not all are intrested in a track day-so I figured a daily cruise would be the next best thing. Alot of us have commitments which over the last year(Ive been here for 8 months:p)has made it near impossible to organise a ride to get everyone together on one day for a ride. Im never the one to organise a ride,but Im hoping that this attempt will work out and we can get EVERYONE along for the ride. Those riders Im reffering to know who I mean,but I'll TRY and go through all those who Im reffering to,please excuse me if Ive forgotten some names: BluR1(Greg),UwishR1(Troy),Shane(forgot your nick bud),R1power,4niktor(FABIO!!),JJJR6(Jords),Lord_Phat(Mick),ChickR1(Haylez & Sam),R1Girl(Ari & Dale),Zerowun(Mono king Pete),Daniel_R1(Muscles),R6toR1(Rossi-Luc),Skyjo(Eujinn),Rick(from Balls),PaulR1(Paul),Enlightned,ExtremeR1,zx6aust (George),Ari1000. If Ive missed anyone,sorry but its hard to remember all the names. If you have a friend,neighbour,relative,WHOEVER that rides...bring them along for the day aswell,as itd be great to get as many riders as possible. As I said,and as we've all spoken about on various rides,itd be awesome to get everyone along for a ride,so just hoping that somehow between Dale's race meetings,Jordan's bike races,Dom's work hours,Dan's gym schedule,Greggy leaving some street tyres on his bike for more than a week etc etc that we're able to somehow work out a date and get all,or as many riders as possible along for one end of riding season MEGA cruise.:rock In regards to where to have the ride(Reefton,GOR,wherever..),if some are thinking "Naah,I wouldnt want to get stuck behind a slow rider etc etc" We can organise the inital meeting spot,go for the cruise and BEFORE getting to any twisty/difficult sections,we can organise a meeting spot at the end of the section so that nobody gets lost or feels like they have to keep up...good idea?? Well Ive started to try and get the ball rolling for this,hopefully there'll be enough feedback and members that would love to attend,so lets see how it goes. Cheers. Pete :thumbup

sounds awesome! reefton is my preference all i need is my bike back and i am 99% for being a starter :)

I'll be in it for sure dude ...but for ease of so many riders and traffic i personally think GOR would be better to keep the group together going from previous experience down reefton way . Too hard to keep the guys together with all the friggin traffic lights and Melb traffic in general . beside nothing beats 100 or so k's of twisties if you go to Lavers Hill that the GOR provides. Amount of twisties per K's travelled nothing compares to GOR i think ...my 2 cents anyway , i know most of us have ridden this way together at one time or another :riding

:sneaky :sneaky Actually about 40min from the twisties Troy ....reefton doesn;t bother me .....just the traffic is a bitch and i remember last time we all rode . i'd actually prefere reefton cause it's something different for me , but twistie wise ....can;t beat GOR for the distance traveled ....i think :confused: ...ask Pete [ zerowun]or Dale they have been everywhere

I dont mind the gor its just there always seems to be so much traffic there.:fork :boom

definitely a good plan! when and where is all i need to know and i'll be there! cheers pete

yup im in....just let me know:yesnod my preference is for reefton.....sorry Dan but GOR blows with the amount of traffic there:dunno or else i seem to recall Ari or Dale saying something about some other roads that we all havent riden as yet....cant remember where though:confused:

i know some awesome roads aronud gippsland that i have been promising you all to go to. they are more flowing bends, think of reefton as broadford style corners, these roads are more phillip island style corners. :thumbup if you want we could all head down there, not much traffic, and awesome flowing corners. :)

Some good ideas so far kiddies:jump Keep em coming,also possible dates??? :thumbup

possible dates??? any weekend aslong as it not raining and not over 32 degrees:yesnod :beer

ok 15th February if thats ok with everyone ...sooner the better instead of dragging it out for weeks , and hopefully the weather will be good...by the way Dom.......whats the new color scheme your doing your bike i read and have you done it ??????

15th Feb....damn you Dan....thats like only a day after my track day...ever heard of giving a guy a rest:finger hmmmm colour scheme will be staying basically the same....just a different red and i will be getting rid of the stripes on the back...will also have a three layer pearl effect to it and stickers.....not done as yet...waiting to start it after my the track day:yesnod

15th of Feb sounds good to me(any date does really:yesnod),will just wait and hopefully get some more feedback from everyone and see how it goes:dunno: I wrote down about 20 riders,so hopefully if we can get a majority of them(say about 15 or so)& it'll be a great turnout:D

the GOR would of been good too, all the way to either lavers hill or port campbell.. that is a real ride :)

:boobies :boobies :boobies Woo Hoo.... group ride... about time...:jump :boobies :jump There are some totally berserk roads out around the Brisbane Ranges... beautiful road surface, fast sweeping bends.. and no cops to be found.... I can't believe none of you know about these roads.... they are INSANE.... the Brisbane Ranges are out towards Aneiki (spelling????) and Merideth....just a suggestion....we would probably all meet at the Point Cook servo.. which would be fair for all... and then back towards Bacchus Marsh, Merideth etc....i'm sick of typing....if you need any more info ring me or pm me...:boobies :boobies :boobies

i'll just follow....infact if i gots Haylz and Ari both infront of me i follow you to...........damn who the hell cares:dunno........mmmmmm chickies in leather:yesnod :boobies :beer

I am not sure if I can make it that day but let you know closer, cos busy with my little girl. Safe riding... fr.

will still have slicks on probably. track day on 13feb:( :lol

ummm you forgot me.. i will probably be in melb around this time if i am luky.. but should def be about the weekend after the 15

Well thank f***k for that,i finally found this thread.Pete(ozzy)mentioned it on another thread and it only took me 75 hours to find it:eek: How is everyone good i hope been a long time.Bout friggen time one of you bastards got off ya ass and organised a ride.:D I think Gor would probably be the most suitable for such a ride cause most if not all have been there at least once so people getting lost would not be an issue and like Dan said it's difficult keeping a large group together through the burbs with traffic lights every couple of k's.Reefton is good for a hardcore blast and like troy said it's my preferred ride but GOR it a close second especially the fast section from Apollo Bay to Lavers Hill:jump :riding As far as dates goes it would be good if we can make it the 15th cause i loose my licence for 3 months on the 19th (thanks to the mutha f****ing bracks government and their "safety camera's"). Good onya Pete and i'm lookin forward to catching up with you all soon.:thumbup

i still don't see the huge issue about getting a bunch of bikes out to reefton? :( meat at shell @ lilydale... there is four sets of lights on the way to reefton... two of which are pedestrian and never activated :p :dunno i love my reefton, dammit :D

so this is going ahead on th 15th?? damn i am gonna have to get my ass down to melb earlier than planned. :D

Good Too see someone else knows about the brisbane ranges awesome roads but lots of bugs and a few cops around there recently [ it wasnt me i swear !!! :blush ] But the Gor sounds good too and its not so far for me to go so i got no excuse for not coming along for the ride b! :thumbup :riding :bandit

lets just hope the EPA havent got a trap set up in apollo bay like they did last time we went :dunno

Hopefully I can make it boys and girls. Will have to do an oil change on the Saturday and see if I can borrow some cash off me mum for a chain a sprockets. hahaha

hey Jordan....i have still got my original sprokets and chain....they only did about 8000 k's...if they fit an R6 n u want em let me know??

thanks Dom, but my sprockets are a different size. I think my rear sprocket at the moment is a 46, R1's run less than that, so I would have no take off. Killer top speed but. Thanks for the offer though. :thumbup

no problemo mate :D

Good to see a few more people wanting to organise the ride,and come along:yesnod Looks like the 15th of Feb is a good date for now,might as well start a list to see who can make it on that date: 1-Pete(Oz_R1_D) 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- 7- 8- 9- 10-

(yes I am a psycho) and Bugs, well just another source of fibre really...... Not that you need it around here, cause you guys give me the shits.....hahahahahahahahahaha And Dom I think you'll have to ride pretty slow to follow my :butt I think Ari would be the best bet.....:riding Get a rabbit up ya

what time are you all leaving? Doesn't look like I'm racing 'cause I have to drive me mum to the airport, but I won't be back from the airport until 9:30am or so. Or are you all leaving before that?

Or are you all leaving before that? we havent even decided where we are going Jordan so i doubt a time is already organised....but i may be wrong:dunno

if we do the GOR, count me and harga.r1 in, if reefton, still not too sure about that.

Originally posted by Paul.R1 if we do the GOR, count me and harga.r1 in, if reefton, still not too sure about that. Hey Paul, Seeing as alot of people want to goto GOR,but are not 100% sure as its a kind of boring ride there,perhaps you and Rick could suggest an alternative route to GOR;seeing as you boys ride there frequently:yesnod PS:Keep the numbers going peoples..its looking good so far:thumbup

yeah there is a alternative route which does not go through geelong.. turn off at little river, some back roads, then through moriac, deans marsh, lorne, apollo bay then lavers hill depending on time.. :)

Oh and i bet i love reefton more.......:makeout

Having said that i'll also say that i like to ride new roads that i have'nt been on before and there is a system to keep a large group together. This sytem is called corner marking some of you will have heard of it or know how it works.This is how it works,you have a leader,a person who knows the route and is quick enough to keep the faster riders happy.The leader is not to be passed,when the leader makes a turn the person who is behind the leader stops on that corner and everyone turns when they see the corner marker.When the last person comes through he gives the corner marker a thumbs up to let the corner marker know that there are no more riders and it is ok for him to join the group.This is repeated at each turn and works a treat as long as everyone follows the rules. ps:Dom i had a job at 200 Queen st. today and parked next to your bike.Man that Leo Vincci race sytem looks badass dude.I love that look of the high rise systems without that s bend where the muffler is joined onto the rest of the system it is so superbike.

Cheers Rob

Pete, me and Dom know all about people getting lost after we went on one of the Ford rides with Dan and people from Ford. We had no idea, and neither did anyone else. :lol Mike, there may only be 4 sets of lights from Lilydale, but considering we usually meet in Nudawading, plus getting there, there are a billion sets of lights. Not sure where you live, but for me and others like Dan, that = a long ride before we even get there.

oh yeah and depending on what time you leave, i'm not sure if I will be able to make it in time.

baaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh i dont care where we go :rant......lets just make up our minds and make this a definate so peoples can organise themselves....otherwise i am going to reefton by my lonesomes:(

Originally posted by 4NIKTOR baaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh i dont care where we go :rant......lets just make up our minds and make this a definate so peoples can organise themselves....otherwise i am going to reefton by my lonesomes:( meh, ignore my opinion on reefton anyways... my bike probably won't be ****ing back anyways :rant :argue :bash :boom :cryin

Damn Mick i just realised....you have never been on a ride with all of us (or any of us for that matter) before....lets hope you bike is back soon then:yesnod...... any word on it yet?? Pete the cornering system sounds like a top idea aslong as everyone sticks to it...Jordan and myself can vouch for it being a complete waste of time when people dont know or care about it though:yesnod

i'll ride anywhere i don;t give a s**t either just someone makea decision...you only have one week left you know . Shell servo Westgate bridge say 9am ...meet me at 9:45 Caltex servo Begining of Geelong and on to GOR ....lunch at Apollo Bay and on to Lavers Hill, then back to Lorne for a rest break and home after that ...should be around 3pm or so ?? what you guys think ??

:dunno

I met one the other day, we got chatting... took a photo for you...

mmmm yummy bummy......... :ugh

i second that :iamwithst

if you want to go to Moe way, i know some good roads, turn off at yarra junction, powelltown, trafalgor, then via gippsland twisties, or go through reefton, buxton, yae, eildon, skyline road etc? that chick on the other side of the table aint bad ;)

GOR is still the best though ;)

Good to see some more names added to the list:yesnod Jordan,what time do you think you'd be able to get down to the shell servo in Geelong at buddy??? Personally I dont see any drama's in pushing the time back to give Jordan time to come along aswell,considering he is one of the original guys on this Melbourne section:fact Well now that it seems we have a date organised,guess the exact meeting spot,and time is all we're missing at the moment:D As far as exactally "WHICH" way we're going to go,and where we intend on riding to..maybe it'd be an idea if at the inital meeting spot(say Caltex Geelong)a few of you guys(And girls)that know some roads can throw around some ideas and suggestions and see what everyone seems to like the best:dunno: Looks like some people forgot to put their names down didnt they:yesnod. 1-Pete(Oz_R1_D) 2-Sam+Hayley 3-Troy(uwishgixxer) 4- Dom 5- Rob(R1Power) 6- Daniel 7- JORDAN<< 8- PETE<<< 9- ariane 10-dale 11-EUJINN??? 12-PAUL?? 13-RICK?? 14- 15- This is looking like its going to be a fun day:D Cheers. :thumbup

Thanks Pete, I’d appreciate that. Do you mean the Caltex where we usually meet Dan? I can be home from the airport at 8:30am, which means I can be in my gear and out the door by 9, which means I will probably be at that servo at 10:15-10:30am. Is this too late? In which case, if anyone wants to meet perhaps at the shell servo before the westgate at 9:30am for the trip down there, if anyone will be on same time frame as me?

No probs:thumbup Yeah either there,or (Im not sure yet) the Point Cook servo(Shell)so everyone can cruise down together:yesnod As I said,I cant see any drama's at all why it'd matter if the time got knocked back a tad. Just trying to make sure as many people can attend as possible:beer

Im in :) Can't figure out where you guys are goin or where you are meeting. But hey im sure ill work it out

Dan sounds good to me buddy but like Pete said we should give Jords tome to get back from airport. The guys from melb can meet at the point cook shell servo and leave at say at 9:45 and be at caltex servo in Geelong at 10:30. Just hope we get some nice weather and it looks like it'll be a ripper day.

Ari my girl you are on fire:fire I feel I've been dethroned as the queen of smut and bad taste..... You go girl...... And for all you blokes who are complaining about where to ride and wont ride if we dont go here or there..... GO EAT A DICK, I'M SICK OF YOUR FU*KING CRAP...... if your only going for the ride and not the meeting up of other forum members..... Why dont you go down to Phillip Island instead.....that way you can do all your fav corners and we dont have to put up with ewes.... Have a nice day..... And Ari if we did go to Moe and these blokes got a root, they might not be sooo fu*king tempramentle..... (no I cant be stuffed spell checking) :rant

hmm someone didn't get any last night? :finger :D :vanish

Hey boys and girls ...waiting for jordon is never a hassle ......pushing the time back is good for me , you can have 2 meeting groups one at Shell Westgate Bridge ...and the other at the Shell Point Cook , you guys just organise a time , i'll be waiting in Geelong with a few guys aswell hopefully about 6 or so ...should be an awsome gathering for some serious tongue lashing ......by the way guys ...ego's at home and ride safe , i don't want to see anyone going down that day !!!!!!!! This is a freindly meet and ride , not a race challenge ....i know everyone is pretty cool with that , i just don't want to see anything happen to my friends.:thumbup :riding

ok so the GOR it is:yesnod thankfully a decision has been reached:D Hayley i gather your tantrum was aimed at me and in my defence i didnt say i wouldnt go somewhere because i dont like it.....all i said was that if no one could come to a decision as to where we were going then i would ride by myself to where i wanted to go....sheeesh so much agro around here lately :dunno

Morning all. :) Thanks guys for waiting up for me, I really appreciate it. :) Hayles, relax babe, can't wait to see you and Sammy out there with us. :) That goes for all also that haven't been out with us before, we look forward to having everyone meet up and have a bit of a chin wag, and a bite to eat somewhere, probably Apollo Bay for lunch i'm thinking? Obviously depending on time. :) I'm really looking forward to this. I think the last time we had a ride this big was the one where I crashed, just under a year ago. Hopefully we all stay rubber side down and will be home in 1 piece. :) JJ

i just realised i put too many smiley faces in that post, i must be in a really good mood. :lol :lol

One suggestion. When all the details are finalised (i.e. time and place to meet). can we have it posted in this Local meets and events thread... http://r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=66630 So that its easy to find, rather then searching through all thoses pages of :rant Cheers Rob

No probs Rob ...ok guys ... let Jordon organise a time for you Melb crew to meet up as he will know best what time he'll be hom eand ready to ride ...what you think Jords ?? just post a time and meeting place to finalise this ride

hey guys i am taking the whole of next week of... and god willing i wont have to come into the office for anything....that being said i wont be able to check out the forum beacause i dont have a computer at home....so when everything is finalised for the ride can some either give me a call or txt me to fill me in on the final details... thanx :thumbup

no probs buddy will do ...have a good week off ...not too much drinking though ....lol

thanx mate:thumbup

*saying this with as much of an ego as possible* :cool: "Say,with this many turning out for a ride that I organised,maybe I should organise them more often":epimp :lol ONLY JOKING PEOPLES!!!:thumbup Cant believe the amount of feedback,and amount of people that are taking the day off(ie:leaving vacant for a ride)to come along for this one. Realy looking forward to this one for sure:jump Had a chat with Luc(R6 to R1)and he might be coming along for the day aswell,as his bike is back on the road and in one piece:yesnod Haylez Im not sure where you got the impression that people didnt want to ride here or there,I think that with "where" we are going to go being up in the air for a week or so,some may have been getting a lil restless an suggesting places they thought wouldbe the best place to go... Anyways,Im sure that everythings been sorted out and look forward to seeing you and hubby at the ride:thumbup Have a great weekend everyone,and once agan-thanks for all the feedback and input from everyone organizing this ride. Seeing as we'll get aquainted with each other,and without any dramas during the day,maybe a night out for everyone MAY be the next idea somewhere down the track:dunno Cheers. :fork 1-Pete(Oz_R1_D) 2-Sam+Hayley 3-Troy(uwishgixxer) 4- Dom 5- Rob(R1Power) 6- Daniel 7- Jordan 8- Pete(the older i get the faster i was)zerowun 9- ariane 10-dale 11-EUJINN??? 12-PAUL?? 13-RICK?? 14- Draggy 15-Rashid(IBOTY) 16-Luc(R6-R1)..??? 17- 18-

Any decision yet on the time and place we meet on the 15th? To enable more riders to attend we should have a decision on this ASAP. Cheers Rob

ok, here are the arrangements. For those that want to meet at the Melbourne end, come to Shell Servo on Geelong bound side of the westgate freeway for a 9:30am sharp leave. Those who are meeting at the Shell Servo at pt cook turnoff please let me know, and we will swing through there. I presume we will be at the Caltex in Geeling at around 10:20am-10:30am, so Dan, if you would like to meet us there with your mate's that would be great. My number is 0438 930 662 for those who don't have it, give me a buzz if there are any problems. Thanks. JJ

Hey all, just a reminder about this Sunday, anyone who is meeting at the Pt Cook Shell Servo, LET ME KNOW so that I know to swing through there to pick you all up, otherwise we will just go past and not get you cause we won't know your'e there. I'm all psyched up, I hope you all are. :thumbup

see u at todd road shell servo.. 9.30 is the right time?

yeah no worries Paul. I will be getting there about 9:15-9:20am. I would hope to leave pretty much on the dot of 9:30am so the other guys we are meeting up with don't have to wait for us. As I understand it from Pete we will go through Pt Cook Shell at around 9:40am and pick them up. JJ

Originally posted by blur1 intellectual skills:confused: ?? what the. you cant even spell it:lol now go brush up on your spelling AND riding skills!:yesnod I thought I'd be like you and not worry about riding skills and concentrate purely on accessories.......

this topic is about the ride on Sunday, have a look in another post where i have a rant. hahaha

Originally posted by chickr1 I thought I'd be like you and not worry about riding skills and concentrate purely on accessories....... well at least your spelling has improved:sleep and i'm off to phillip island in 5 min to actually USE my skill, unlike some! and as for accessories... what your tassels and basket? :lol :lol

My god shut up the both of you! Who cares, seriously? This is a topic about the ride on the weekend, not who has more crap on their bike!

Guys*you know what I mean*,if you feel the need to continue the tiff you have going between each other,please take it elsewhere-as Im sure there are alot of members that will be checking this section for info on the ride on Sunday and wouldnt appreciate it if this was closed. Hope to see you all there on Sunday,thanks :thumbup

Originally posted by jjjr6 My god shut up the both of you! Who cares, seriously? This is a topic about the ride on the weekend, not who has more crap on their bike! Actually its got nothing to do with theamount of crap, on ones bike (mine doesnt have any) but I would say Gregs does cause he is heavier..... hahaha ..... I think the topic is about the that that Greg thinks I cant ride.... which is true..... but I really dont care.... so I'm just givin it back to him...... So I dont know if I can make the ride... cause I might not have the skill on that day......

Originally posted by uwishr1 Im definently staying home if skill is required.:lol Troy,youre on a gixxer-so I think any skill you did have was washed away when you sold your R1 and jumped on that fugly bike of yours:finger Only joking buddy:thumbup Guys,this weekends ride isnt about skill,and who's the fastest and who has the better bike..its all about getting out with friends and having a leisurely ride and having a nice day:D If youre out for a race,head down to Phillip Island for a trackday or enter to race like Dale has(Gees he's getting faster and faster:yesnod)-this weekend isnt about big egos,so if anyone does have one either leave it at home or dont come. The last thing anyone wants to see,or be involved in anytime is an accident being caused by someone trying to race on a public road because his or her ego didnt head down to a track for the day. Can we please have an end to this lil bit of conflict,or as I said-if you feel the need to continue it,please by all means do so,but in another place and not here:) Thanks peoples..but if you dont take my advise,I'll send Troy round to yap your ear's off with information about gixxers:lol Cheers. :thumbup

this might be a lil late and just off topic....really sorry bout that to everyone but i have to make this one post: i'm probably the youngest person here....and probably in the forum as i just had my 21st last week. i've also probably got 1/10 riding experience compared to everyone else....but one thing i can say is, although it's barely a year since i've been riding litre bikes, i think...just think i can ride just as well if not better than one particular person on this forum who's bike mods costs can buy my bike. :lol even though i've never been on the tracks (which doesn't exactly excite me that much...probably cause i've never been for one :lol) i reckon it takes just as much balls and skills, if not more to stay alive at high speeds on GOR or reefton taking into account cages that go wide, gravel and the lovely ocean breeze. to the person who's being targeted by this....U KNOW WHO U ARE! hayley, i support your opinion on this matter. i hate ppl that try to spit on others riding skills irrelavant of how good they think they are! i loved this forum and it's members as they made me feel at home and like equals, even when it was obvious in the past when i first got my R1 01 that i couldn't ride for shlts - i love all u guys except for one, u know who u are :lol anyway, sorry bout that guys....just can't stand others bagging others about riding skills. cheers

Where did you all bugger off to yesterday? I waited at the roundabout to tell people who were behind all of us to go left, the back way to Geelong, and when me, Darren and Eujinn got there, noone was anywhere to be found. What the fahk??? :rant

:lol hehe, i'm sure Mr Accesories pulled at least a minute 59 but the time keeper was sleeping as it was a hot summers day. :lol don't pressure him too much or he might just come out riding with us to GOR one day to show off his "skills" to hayley hehehe

HI all, just like to say that i enjoyed the ride Sunday and meeting some new people.You guys ride a little quicker than my regular group whilst still being safe and mostly legal. Thanks Eugene for stopping to pick up my hat; apologies for leaving the group without any notice as I know how annoying it can be when a group just starts peeling off in all directions.(followed someone on a Hyabusa on a short cut thru Geelong and got lost) Looking forward to the next one

Ossyone..glad you had a good ride , hopefully there will be many more to come before th s**t weather sets in .....usually if there is descent weather we manage to get atleast 4 to 6 riders together for a squirt , so keep your eyes peeled thursday / friday for ride info , ride mostly Sundays . I think maybe keep this thread going for major info like our old one ...atleast we will all know where to go to for meets and rides and the WHORE element would have been worn off truely by now .
