Since there are so many active Feilding Riders out there this thread has been set up as a place to touch base about who's doing want and for when a helping hand is needed.

For Friday Night's Manawatu Ride, Feilding riders can meet at the Railway Station at 5:40pm. weather permitting.

So what do they actually do for this club meeting night? I might come along if it sounds interesting

And Yes meeting at the railway station sounds like a plan

Um...... Drink, discuss rides, discuss events, Give out stupid awards to stupid people, drink, go home.

Are you calling them 'stupid' because your jelous you havnt got one?

I could even get one, but I don't think they know who I am. So I might be lucky.

Make yourself known

I don't think I'll be the only one that's binned this month. The arse off award could be up for grabs

If you're lucky you may get it for your 'roadside inspection' on the last ride

Good idea starting a Feilding forum, can anyone join? I lived in a caravan (don't ask lol) in Feilding for awhile if that counts

Not a bad place to grow up either.

Oh no! I might know you. Nah, it's too big a place.

A big place??? You are talking about Feilding eh

Nah I am probably too old to know a young whipper snapper like yourself....

Age is relative, and I've got some of them too.

Caravan's are cool. We'll have to have a get together. It's Friendly Feilding, we're not exclusive.


My Condolences to the Family and friends of the young lady who died. These things always hit small communities hard.

Feilding Riders - For anyone interested on doing the Friday night ride a reminder to meet at the Feilding Railway Station. then through to Ashhurst to meet the plebs. A good chance to get to know each other.

Good o. Lauren and i will meet you there What time you planning on meeting? Found it in the other thread 5:40 it is

Five hours and forty minutes post meridian.

Awesome to touch base with some more Feilding Riders tonight. Thanks Melissa and Simon for joining us on the ride tonight. Nice to make new contacts and share general bike knowledge. A very enjoyable route.

A Local police (lady) decided to tail us all the way from Feilding to Bunnythorpe and then most of the way up Stoney Creek Road. Not a nice lady, expecting us law abiding riders to do something wrong.

We must set up a decent weekend ride for one weekend.

Sounds like a good idea Im busy for the next few weekends...but sounds good!!!

Hi all you bikers I'm not sure were I should be, as I Live on Rangitikei Line, oh what the hell, who give a shit were you live, I just what to ride when ever I can
Will not be riding Friday as I will be taking 16 German Shepherd's to a show in Hamlton this weekend. I know I will miss a good one.

Welcome to the site

I also wont be out riding on friday cause im going to be in Hamilton aswell There must be a calling

Will be nice to meet some more Feilding riders sometime

I'm pretty sure its not a problem where anyone lives, its more the fact that so many of us are turning up out here in Feilding. Aeeing as we keep passing each other everyday, Kat thought to set up a place on here where we can actually meet and pass info etc.

I ride with the guys out Ashurst on the Friday rides, with a bunch of MV F4 and R1 mounted guys from work on some weekends when we go play on the Rimutaka hill in Wellington, with a couple of guys and girls on 600s who hit the Feilding back roads most nights after work.

Everyone else knows others as well, why not all hook up, share routes and have a blast!.

This weekend maybe wet, plus the Final round of the Vic series is on at Manfeild. Thats where I will be if we don't ride up north this weekend. Pretty sure Dani and her crew will also be there as well as Cowboyz and co working on the crash crew.

Ha, ha. I thought I recognised that face on Friday Night and that blue bike. Did those leather pants end up fitting OK.

ACtually. I am no longer on the crash crew. Will not be going over to manfield this weekend.

What leather pants

I was thinking of doing the Rimutaka loop on the weekend but I also need to check out Horrocks park just outside of Wanganui. forecast is for 2 more days of rain though.

Are any Feilding riders interested in touching base over the weekend, having a few drinks and looking at possible rides over the summer?

Possibly. One problem though will be the types of rides people are looking for.

i.e. Mellissa likes the idea of a cruise down the highway to other towns to visit cafes etc. I'm sure a few others enjoy the same. While myself and a few like minded enjoy hitting the twisted stuff fast. Then there is the other crowd that likes doing the epic journeys from hell.

Trying to cater for these diverse groups will be interesting to say the least.

Feel free to either swing by home or set up a cafe breakfast in Feilding this weekend to sort a plan if you wish.

TerminalAddict will be down on friday night. But for some reason he wants to go home early on saturday morning for loving or something
If he stays for a bit longer, could go for a ride

I was going to catchup with Chanceyy this weekend so maybe we could head out with you guys?...I mean I am from Feilding so I must be able to come to the Clan gatherings too??

Sounds good. I don't like riding in crap weather so that'll be the decider for me. Can't wait to see these cool bikes. What day were you planning. Forecast has changed to heavy rain Sat and Showers/sun/cloud Sunday.

I like that clan bit. Maybe you could all sell your houses and move to a city I'm going to build to protect you from the world LOL.

Can you build a race track in this city?

Yep Race track, but no passing lane.

Weathers looking good for tonights ride. Meet 5:40 at Railway station if going?

Yes tonight should be a good night.

I think Sunday would be the better pick for a ride but with the weather the way it has been....Saturday good be even nicer!!
I have mega weed spraying and lawns to do...as well as the Chinese laundry needs attention so no doubt I will just go riding .

Daughter off to swimming competition in the Hawkes Bay (ex's weekend) so no kids either....

Sunday is looking way better than sat .. mind you nice wee flick down the road tonite .. just got home as a few spits came down .. perfect timing

Looking at a ride this afternoon leaving Feilding.

I still have to check out a park/resrve just north of Wanganui, but might just head up SH1. Anyone interested? Checking back about 12:30

Tempting.. but study beckons.. havent done anything since paul got here.

Heading off about 1.30 today from Mobil Manfield. Across to Wanganui, up the River about 10km, Back through Turakina, Marton, Hunterville, Vinegar Hill.

I just got back. Nice ride by myself. Lots of bikes out.
Met a cager coming passing headon over curved bridge just out of Hunterville, otherwise everyone really courteous, pulling over etc.

Good economy. I used to be able to beat my mate on his 750F with my Bandit for economy but it was never that good...

cool. it was a nice day to be out and about. Hit some of the back roads with sarge, meanie and bonez. Magic. Got some video of sarge doing what hes good at. Just checking the files to see if there is anything that is suitable for online.

Sunday Morning Ride. I'm going on a quiet (secret) ride tomorrow morning, about 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Then Interclub ride in afternoon.

Leaving Feilding BP @ 9:30. Heading through Ashhurst, Aokautere, Shannon. Coffee at back of levin then back through Tangimoana Road, Mount Lees and Feilding for lunch.

Then to PN - BP Metro at 1:00pm for interclub ride, finishing at Ashhurst Domain. A nice opportunity to meet other local riders.

Anyone interested in coming along is welcome.

Yeah i'll come along on your secret ride (which you posted details about ) Not sure about the afternoon ride just yet

Hi All
Who or what are the "Feilding Riders". Is it a club ,are a group of like minded people going for rides on a casual basis? Are you make pacific? Do you have club nights?
Is this a sub branch of another club? Do you have a ride list?
Sorry for questions, I did the 800k in a day ride but don't belong to a club.

Thanks

Gidday there, did the 800k ride myself last year - missed this year as I was crook.

The Fielding riders just happen to be dudes from Fielding who ride together - nothing too organised (well, unless something has changed). They pop over & join the Manawatu crowd on Friday nite rides (6pm Ashhurst Mobil) etc.

We're just another totally disorganised informal group of motorcycle riders, mostly all belonging to different groups or not. All ages / genders.

This is just another avenue to keep in touch, post rides, maybe socailise occasionally and offer mostly useless wisdom.

I belong to Central Districts Motorcycle Touring Club but haven't done many rides. It's handy to know other locals who just want to cruise occasionally.

Great to hear that you did the 800k ride. I'm not quite at that stage yet.

Perhaps a pre Christmas or New years drinks need to be sorted.
