Anyone keen for some bends at Riverhead/Coatesville on North Shore?

[racefactory]

Riverhead/Coatesville on the North Shore has some mean as country bends... anyone keen for riding up that way? Or is everyone here from the other side?

[R6_kid]

I'm in Greenhithe. Much more fun to be had slightly further afield. Send me your cellphone number in a PM and I'll let you know next time my TRX feels like cracking open a can of whoop-ass.

Got a license yet mate?

Sweet as roads around there.

Ridge Road
Wade road
Sunnyside road
wright road
O'briens road

just to name a few

[racefactory]

I'm up for riding over there ANY time.

Is there anyone else on the North Shore here?

[Slyer]

[motorbyclist]

aren't you selling that bike? might pay to take it easy...

hard to sell when it's buggered or impounded ;)

[jono035]

You sold the NC30 and bought a GSXR750?

[racefactory]

I've had a ZXR250 and another bike within this space of time too yeah. Just making a few bucks that's all. Couldn't make coro this morning so went up to riverhead today... great time, would be even better with someone else though. How did coro go?

[jono035]

Pretty good, turned into a beautiful day in the end.

really? I pretty distinctly remember you bailing out on motorcycles because it was costing too much what with all the buying and selling at questionable margins....

I asked him why he was selling the VFR when I checked it out and got told his dad was making him sell it because he couldn't get insurance for it given no full license??

[motorbyclist]

really? he had his learners over a year ago now didn't he? surely the full is coming up soon if not already.... or is this a jafa type time scale to get a licence?

if i'm not mistaken, that black viffer is and always will be a lemon unless someone actually takes a reasoned money-in-a-hole approach to fixing it.

Well, looks like my decision to buy the bike out of the 2 that had higher kms but much clearer history was a good one then :p

[Jonno.]

haha, is that the same vfr that had an L plate on it?

[motorbyclist]

LOL really?

I've seen one with a 250 sticker slapped over the 400 one

Yep, that's the same one all right. I think the L plate was in shards when I took it for a test ride.
