Title: Monthly Coffee night runs PERTH
Post by: alchemist on October 16, 2013, 01:04:55 PM
For all those Perth folk out there.

I would like to see if anyone is interested in doing a regular evening coffee run into Fremantle and possible other locations since the weather is getting warmer again.

We could aim for the first Tuesday of the month if this suits everyone?

Meet at a central location say outside of Supercheap/Repco in Atwell/Jandakot at 7pm for a 715pm departure towards Fremantle.

Coffee in Fremantle via Coogee, then do a casual ride through the streets that's on the southern side of the river out towards the old Raffles Hotel, then take off from there.

Used to do this with a local group a few years ago that no longer exists, so would love to get this happening here.

Any interest ?

A good idea, but no good for me. I'm up early for a ride to Jkot for a 0630 start, then off again at 1500 to get home around 1600, and usualy in bed by 2030. Besides, I would have to battle the traffic again to go back to Jkot..

I need my beauty sleep, really i do..

Sounds great to me. I do a similar thing with a bunch of mates every second Friday during Summer.

Count me in  :thumbsup

Yeah please pencil me in as I don't seem to be able to attend any RTE events on weekends due to that never ending problem called work.

Wife goes to fat club every Tuesday leaving me at home on my own (sob).

Bike is getting a bit rusty and dusty in the shed due to lack of use.

Sounds like an idea.

Does it have to be a Tuesday though? I'm like Ray, I'm up at 04:30 Monday to Friday and living out in Midland, I wouldn't be getting home until close to Wednesday.

I'd be keen on this. Even if it moves (date or location - alternating north/south perhaps), as long as there was sufficient notice.... anything for a ride!
Title: Re: Monthly Coffee night runs PERTH
Post by: alchemist on November 13, 2013, 11:55:27 PM
Bummer it doesn't suit some of you, but for the rest there seems to be some slight interest with this.

Also could do a run from the meet point via Fremantle through to Hillarys along the coast every so often as well.  Used to enjoy that route.

How about we kick it off for a Hillarys run then, with a slight adjustment to the meet point to make it easier to find and easy for a fuel top up.

When: Tuesday 3rd of December, meet 7pm for a 715pm departure
Where: BP on Beeliar Drive, Success (near the Cockburn gateway shopping centre)
Route: Fremantle, then coastal route up to Hillarys for coffee, then back down towards Freo on the way home.

Hope some of you can come, will be great to get a few ST's out for the evening.

If your interested, please respond with your interest below. 

Cheers

Has there been any changes for this ride, is it still on and if so any idea where we will finish up.

North of the river is a new country to me.

Post by: alchemist on December 02, 2013, 08:51:02 PM
Sure is Trevor, happy to change the route and destination based on suggestions at the meet point, we'll chat about it there, but original plan to head up to Hillarys, have a bite/drink then ride back down towards Freo, then South St, you could head back from there, as I'll hit the freeway to head back to Rockingham.

ETA in Hillarys would be about 745-8ish,  Glen you could catch us on the coastal route up if you want?

Who else is keen?

Trevor - confirmed
Phil - confirmed
Glen - possible
Wombat - confirmed
BigTed ??

Anyone else ? sorry for the late reply have been under the pump at work.

Post by: alchemist on December 04, 2013, 02:16:08 PM
Was a great ride, thank you to everyone that came along!

Wombat, Trevor, myself and a friends son Ryan (Phil couldn't make it) we all left Beeliar and headed through Freo and up the coast to Hillarys (3x white ST1100's and a baby red 250 Ninja)
The weather was very windy and a little chilly, the ST's almost got blown over at one stage due to an excess gust that came from the ocean between buildings at Scarborough which was interesting!

Got into Hilarys around 8:10pm and met up with Pezzz and Glen, had something to bite, chinwag and headed off back down the coast and home again. 

Was a great night had by all, something to break up the week a little.   

Good to put some faces to the names and I hope to do this again, probably to a different location next time so throw up your suggestions?

Keen to go on another run later.

hahahah  where's your faith ????

Had a great night. Very windy waiting out on West Coast Drive for a while but was funny watching the cars come over the hill and then nosedive on the brakes when they saw the bike sitting there.
Always good to put faces to names.

Maybe somewhere South next or City through to Guildford ??? (Alfreds Kitchen is there ... :eat )

It was a great evening. A quick bevvy, followed by a gentle ride up to Kalamunda and then down the old Zig-Zag switch-back in twilight with a full-moon. Then headed to Guildford for some grub (not me - work to do).
I captured quite a bit of video - to be posted here soon. Thanks guys for organising it.  :hatwave

To top off the evening, I'll be getting a surprise in the mail soon confirming my lack of attention and frustration with the GPS getting me lost.... that was the first time ever I've run a red light. Luckily I had only moved about 5m into the intersection. Still  $150 + 3 points though. :||||  :spank  :cuss  :law

Spoke to Fiona at Dome, Mundaring this afternoon, closing time is 8pm, kitchen starts closing at 7:30, if ewe have a booking they can stay open later, I booked for 6-10 under Ozstoc. I suggest we do the right thing and try for 7ish as they will have to pay O/T.

Why not meet at Dome Mundaring at 7 then when time to go head back via the Weir and i will head down the zigzag to go home .....
Sounds like a plan to me ....   :nahnah

Oh.. i got some new globes today. Just Narva 55/60 +50 that someone on here suggested in the thread. SCA don't do any H6 globes so i stuck with H4. Hopefully they last longer than my previous ones. Just need to get motivated to put them in tomorrow.

That'd be either Yorkie or Wombat.

Thanks Pezzz and Wombat.  That would be absolutely terrific please!! Any fees I'm happy to pay :)  Perspex or ally either way. Thanks heaps. The road noise is driving me insane as I've been clocking up a fair bit of time commuting on the steed almost every day now.

OK for all you southern metro people I am going to the Dome Halls Head parade on Thursday night. Leaving Gosnells about 5.45 then to Murdoch for 6.15 then to Halls Head for 7.00. All are welcome as usual and I will get a table if I know some numbers. Coffee and eats. They close about 9.00 so plenty of time for chatting. Route down and back negotiable.

Thanks Wombat, Yep turn right onto Safety Bay Rd and Caltex is just up the road half a km from there. Then could just shoot through to Ennis ave on Safety bay rd and head south to Halls Head if that's ok?

He's keen, should have his bike back by then.  His name is Tom, thanks!

Ex police, 86,000kms full servicing by Honda until mid last year I am lead to believe.  O2 sensors and wiring is OK it is just the knock sensor on the RHS (FI 26 code) that is reporting an issue. Checked the wiring this morning and it was pretty below average.

It will be past my bedtime by the time I could get there, so I will have to pass.

I am getting old you know...

You could leave work  little early, have a quick nap at home then go straight to work after Dome and be there early for the next day.

Glen,

I knock of at 1500, battle the traffic to Kinross (yes, I know no-one goes there) and get home by 1600. After a nap, it would be time to get back on the bike and fight the traffic again, to get to a meeting point where we all then set off to battle traffic to get to some where to sit down for a while with a drink.

Then I would have to ride for yet another hour, so that I could have an hours sleep (not enuff thats for sure, I aint 18 any more) before I have to battlae the traffic for an hour to get to work.

Also, I would use a days petrol all for a cuppa... ( riding 2 hrs to have breakfast in the country is a different matter so I wont go there.. Oh wait, I was there the other suday).

Now where was I, I forget....... Oh well, it must be bed time.

P.S.

Its bloody hot.. :H :H :H

Looks like a great run. Will try to make next one. That ST1200 is a bit different from the Victory there Mitch.

Great nights riding. Agree on the venue too. Thought I might be there a while when the STead wouldn't turn over but all is good with a cool ride down the freeway along Mundijong road and back to Gosnells.
Thanks guys  :clap
