Ride tomorrow (27 November) to Kaiaua

[Ragingrob]

Gonna be fine again tomorrow so I'm keen for a nice short ride to Kaiaua fish n chip shop.

I'll leave Karaka about 10am and will be going via Clevedon where I'm happy to meet people :chase:

Then I'll plan to come back via the Hunuas :scooter:

Let me know if you're keen and where you wanna meet :woohoo:

Anybody of any skill level in the SMC is welcome as long as you have open road experience.

Mean bro!!!

Let's say Clevedon 10:30am, sound good?

Yep you can either jump off at Takanini and Clevedon is pretty well signposted all the way, or you could head out Botany way and come around the coast.

Cornering is an ongoing practice, every day, every corner :woohoo:

Here's a link of a way to get to Clevedon from the motorway - http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=-37.038188,174.91127&daddr=clevedon+nz&hl=en&geocode=%3BFSWRy_0do91uCilpfK-4sbFybTETcBJinW-muw&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=12&sll=-37.025854,174.965172&sspn=0.116491,0.224876&ie=UTF8&z=12

Sweet little ride consisting of me, Jafa, Shingo and Rayray. Beautiful weather and decent roads + yummy sea dog and squid rings. Love that last section of Hunua.

I agree, was doing much better after i decided to just follow your lines and down 1 to 2 gears XD

[Rayray401]

Also had the worst motorway ride on the way back, almost got plastered on a truck when some cunt in a commodore decided to swerve while txting. And some bitch decided she wanted to be where i was, so almost ran me off the road =.= Was there a prostate/breast cancer ride today? or some protest? I filtered through like 25 harleys and cruisers all lined up @@

Yep helps a lot keeping the revs up a bit in terms of engine braking for the corner so you don't have to use your brakes as much at all :rockon:

Yeah, i realised i was only revving at around 7k at first...then found out my revs goes all the way to 16 XD..redline was only 13k on the VTR..

[Real_Wolf]

heh, thats teh fun of 4 cylinders. Sadly mine is so badly in need of some work that it is essentially 13k revline in terms of power
