UPDATE:

Meeting at BP Botany at 11am to leave soon after to Kaiaua for fush n chups. See ya's there! If you want, pm me your number and if you're coming so we'll wait if you aren't there yet.

Approx. route - http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Botany+BP&daddr=kaiaua+to:Hunua+Rd+to:karaka&hl=en&geocode=FS6EzP0d1QNtCiFORZ55cqd5BQ%3B%3BFfiryf0dN-hvCg%3B&mra=ls&via=2&sll=-37.054081,175.093231&sspn=0.469078,0.955811&ie=UTF8&ll=-37.069423,175.089111&spn=0.468983,0.955811&z=10



Sup

I'm gonna wake up tomo to a damn sunny day and feel like a shortish ride for a break from study.

I'll plan to head SH22 as it's just down the road, but could be keen for Kaiaua fish and chips instead if others are amped for a ride but not all the way south.

Probably be looking to leave 10am or 11am, and be back 3 or so hours later.

Haven't hit the twisties in a while so will be riding my own pace enjoying the scenery.

So any of you SMC fullas or fullaresses wanna come feel free.

Learners welcome.

:scooter:

EDIT : Could be keen for anywhere up north or west too as I'm ending up in town tomo anyway. So SH16, Piha, whatever.

Bump! At the moment it looks like we'll head to Kaiaua for fish and chips. So best meeting place for people would probably be Botany BP (or Clevedon?), then head to Kaiaua via Kawakawa and then back towards Papakura over the Hunua's. I'll head straight to Clevedon and see you guys there if you meet at Botany cause otherwise I'd be backtracking.

I'm thinking max 3 hours all up including lunch would be a safe guess.

I'll be leaving Clevedon at 10:45am :ride:

Ugh, exam this morning (went horribly as I expected). Decided I needed to get outta here so I though that fush'n'chups in Kaiaua sounded mighty fine. Didn't expect to meet you all there though! I was cruising the whole way, too.

Anyways, pull up to see a bunch of bikers, some of whom I know! Lol! But I was hungry so Jafa and I stayed behind to enjoy moar chups.

Then rode home, me going INCREDIBLY slow through the excellent twisties. Fortunately no one was behind me!

BEAUTIFUL DAY!

That's a mint FXR Danae! (With decent rubber no less - since I'm nosy) I figured it was yours last night in CP36.
