All welcome










Hey everyone, my exams are all finished (coz I'm in Massey :p) and I now have plenty of time for riding during the week for the next 4 weeks.

So if anyone is keen for a ride on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday (those the days I have off work) flick me a pm or post here :yes: and we can go for a pootle. Long or short I dont care.

Also if there are some new bikeys out there and want to go somewhere for a short ride or in some car park doing daughnuts, figure eights or emergency stopping practice I'm all in. I need some refreshing of the skills too.

I'm on the shore but I ride all over the auckland area so if you are keen , send me a PM or post here.

P.S. i'm busy this thursday helping a friend go for his learners on a bike but apart from that I'm gonna be riding around ;)

[Macstar]

At first I was tempted to write insults over my envy of your post-exam freedom and weekday rides, but I'll play nice. Have fun you bloody bastards! Let's hope the weather doesn't do what it has for the last two weekends and crap out so that us good working folk can also enjoy a spin in good weather.

His one wasn't pink in a previous life...

[TOTO]

I love the TXTs I get just before we go on a ride:

"I got to go Ice skating now so I'm not comming..."

"Hey we are all drunk so we cant ride..."

"I just woke up and got hangover and cant be bothered..."

"I cant ride, I'm shagging the dog..." :blink:

It must be the same kind of excuses GiJoe gets when he asks the kids why they haven't done their english homework .... ::spanking:


Big ups to Dakara for joining coming along for a quest into the unknown.
we were chatting around waiting for all of you lazyes to arive and from word to word found out Mr. Dakara has never done Coro loop before and seeing that noone else could be bothered to come for an adventure we decided to change the plan and head for the coro instead.

All was nice , we went trough miranda rd and had a bit of fun there, then on to kopu to gas up at the mobil and the Gas girl couldn't take her eyes off Dakaras' but while he was gassing up. I didnt tell him coz I didnt want to brak his riding concentration and causing him to bin. Anyhow we went nicely along the coast , saw the view, enjoyed the sweepers. Just came to coromanderl and we were told by firefighters and Police that ROAD IS CLOSED due to a crash. The much respected Westpack helicopter crew were there to lift the poor injured soul to hospital. hope s/he makes it. Anyhow we decided that there is no way we gonna wait for 3 hours on our bums and we gonna do Kawawa instead.

on to kaiawa and we went trough some cold cold rain :cold:. So cold it took me a while to find Mr. Spike when I went to take a piss. Anyhow , rain stopped as we pulled in the Kaiawa Fisheries for some fish and chips and a Mehga burger for Dakara. :D There were a few kids admiring the bikes, and there was one woman who clearly was nuts. She kept asking questions and not surprisingly she also liked matt's butt and even asked who was "Quasimoto". Dakara showed me some nice lines on kaiawa from which I learned and I am dedicated to go practice those again soon :niceone:

Just got into Auckz and it was only like 3:20 and we are both young free spirited sould and such as we are and also harcore bikers we decided he havent had enough of cold air and enogh adrenaline we decided to jump on SH16 and see how that goes.

Some fancy lane splitting past annoyed cagers, and mums preocupied with their scoolboys and girls to look at the road and we found ourselver in Riverhead. kept a close eye on the speedo as we were not sure if it was Mr.-Ginger-Beer-Delivery-Boys' day off but who said you cant have fun with the legal speed. Try do most of the corners at 100 and it is quite adventurous. off we ren up on SH16. We saw the sunset on our bikes - that was a majic moment. Some more sweepers and in to Wellsford to warm up.

Came back down via SH1 and back home. Total of about 550k we did today and those of you who didnt come and made excuses should be sorry.You missed out on quite alot of fun. Primo Day :2thumbsup

We could be Going for a ride on thursday again , depending on weather and other stuff. Keep an eye on the first post of this thread for Updates on Weekday rides.

TOTO over and out.

[Dakara]

Hahaha! +1 for the writeup! Although I would of rathered not knowing where those gassies were looking :stoogie:

Tripo was showing just under 530k's from Autobarn till when we parted on the motorway, so yea, 550 all up sounds about right! Which officially makes it the most time spent on 2 wheels for me in a day :2thumbsup

As for the old Woman at Kaiawa, "Who's Quasimoto?" I hope she was just reading my gear else Quasi may have a secret admirer :love:

Now, I need a beer! :beer:

[Ragingrob]

Fucken brilliant guys! Gutted I had to work. Gonna make my bike all shiny tomorrow morning before I head into town, poor girl hasn't been washed after 4 days and 800k's of owning her :(

[Choco]

Sounds like you had fun!
Shame i had school and work :weep:
Next time!

i'm not trusting you any more...:no:


bla bla bla *excuse* .....bla bla bla *excuse* ....bla bla bla .....:bash:


Now I know how Macstar felt on sunday when people he was supposed to go riding with bailed on him...(sorry isaak). :doh: Still havent been on SH22 :angry2: :crybaby: due to being a fucking a babysitter.


So anyone serious about riding that wants to join me tomorrow ?

You can trust me. Last thing I knew you blasted off somewhere yelling something from westgate, I rode all the way to helensville in torrential rain to find you. Then turned around and rode back in sunny conditions, i then waited at westgate for twenty min then went to mission bay and did a little ride by myself. Don't worry you don't have to be a babysitter bro, solo riding isn't half bad :baby:.

As for excuses, maybe I'm not hard enough to have a blast through really bad conditions, or maybe it's just my self preservation instinct kicking in. The new tire is good, the bike doesn't slide and is good in the wet now, unlike the death machine it used to be.

Today was not good riding conditions, i rode through a fuckload of rain and heavy winds in the arvo. Oh and my exhaust heatshield fell off the bike while i was riding, i fixed it on the side of the road though. Have fun on sh22, you and isaac can ride and be crazy together, I didn't fuck off for no apparent reason bud.

[Macstar]

Have fun on sh22, you and isaac can ride and be crazy together.

Hornets all the way bro!

I'd be keen on Thursday as well dude. Tomorrow I've gotta be home buy 2pm as I sold the cage and it's getting collected then... (downgrading to help pay for the CBR :niceone:)

[TOTO]

I'd be keen on Thursday as well dude.

Finally some takers :banana:


... solo riding isn't half bad

rode to mission bay did you, you took the twisty way I imagine :rolleyes:




As for excuses, maybe I'm not hard enough to have a blast through really bad conditions, or maybe it's just my self preservation instinct kicking in. The new tire is good, the bike doesn't slide and is good in the wet now, unlike the death machine it used to be.

That why when I left the petrol station I said: I'm gonna be a second - gonna get you some sandpaper.. :argh:



Today was not good riding conditions, i rode through a fuckload of rain and heavy winds in the arvo. Oh and my exhaust heatshield fell off the bike while i was riding, i fixed it on the side of the road though. Have fun on sh22, you and isaac can ride and be crazy together, I didn't fuck off for no apparent reason bud.

what did I say about the excuses. Stop it :spanking:


Hornets all the way bro!

So horny baby , so horny :love:


Thursday should be sweet

sweet as marmalade brother, we'll keep in touch :niceone:

[ital916]

Sorry if my riding style isn't balls to the walls. Yeah I will be riding tomorrow. I didn't hear you saying your going to get sandpaper, you were moving at the time and wearing a helmet..all I heard was "mmphphp". I waited for like fifteen minutes, I rode through all the carparks looking for you You know what I'm over this convo. I'll be keen to ride later in the week I have stuff to sort out.

[PirateJafa]

Oh god the sandpaper thing again.

What a fucking waste of both rubber and sandpaper.

Try scrubbing your tyres in by RIDING on them. :rolleyes:

[TOTO]

why do I have a feeling we are going to pointless drivel here.

Anyhow , lets call today misscommunication due to balaclavas :D

So suggestions for thursday ? lond trip down south ?


Peace out

[TOTO]

West coast? Piha...

too short IMO ....south east :clap:

[ital916]

can someone post up the map of the route for the coro loop? For those that have never done it.

[gunnyrob]

Hi Toto, would be keen on a moderate trip as I will have Ramon. Also wish to be back in time for the ATNR. Open for options, will stay tuned.

[ital916]

I'm only angry at the world *as the tag says* because of all the idiots that inhabit it :lol:, grrrr DUSHY SMASH *hmm I wonder if I can get purple expanding motorcycle pants*

[Macstar]

You can take SH 16 up to Kumeu, turn off to the coast hit Bethels beach, then cruise along Scenic drive out to Piha and back along Scenic drive to Titarangi village for lunch at Hells Pizza. That would be a solid 2-3 hr ride and some of the best cornering practice you can get.

I do this route quite often and it is bloody awesome!

when I shot through kumeu yesterday i didn't see a turn off to the coast, where in kumeu is that.

[Macstar]

Turn left on the road that goes over the railway lines in Kumeu town, then take the first left again and then it is sign posted form there on (from memory).

[TOTO]

Hi Toto, would be keen on a moderate trip as I will have Ramon. Also wish to be back in time for the ATNR. Open for options, will stay tuned.

Oh cool - Havent seen Ramon since the last hollidays. I was thinking maybe half coroloop - a nice 4-5 hour ride with a good stop over at Goroglen for refreshements.

Nah mate I'll be bloody keen have not had a good ride since 2 months ago...new ride?:love: it isnt as horny as your bike though...just need to sort out the suspension settings within the week so I can ride it in the weekend.


I thought I was the only one who found that funny when it was first said! Anyway, it would seem two other pikers took their litre bikes the twisty way to Mission Bay on Sun rather than the Coro loop...:bash:

Hehe...I am doing all I can to scrub my front bro...will make it up to you for the next coming ride...:grouphug:


too short IMO ....south east :clap:

Darn stuck in the office with paper work...and the sun is nice and bright :sunny:

[ital916]

I'm doing a coro loop tomorrow, so can someone post up the route, pretty please otherwise I'd prob get lost haha and being a guy I don't read or carry maps.

[Dakara]

too short IMO ....south east :clap:

Yes sounds good, wanna get back before dark this time as the lights on the Hyo are sheeet :crazy: :lol:

There's a map in the SMC ride thread here:
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=77051

Although I think it might be a shortened version (yet to do a full loop myself).

[Squiggles]

Do the full loop, i.e. not the kopu hills, go down through whanga to waihi then across the gorge to paeroa, then back from there...

or you could do a figure 8 of the loop?

[Macstar]

So what's the deal Toto? I might take a day off this week and would be keen for a pre-coro loop loop to compliment the Coro loop I did on Sunday :msn-wink:

[Nivosus]

i have all next week off so id be keen toddy!

[Timati]

The weather is looking rather mint for the next 3 days starting today - http://www.metservice.co.nz/default/index.php?alias=auckland

Anyone keen for a ride?

Sounds like a very workable plan........:scooter:

[ital916]

sh22 kicks ass! Very nice road, some dodgy downhill corners though with gravel and moss. Tomorrow is gonna be a sick ride too *rubs hands gleefully*, the front has scrubbed in nice, bike handles well now.

[Timati]

Is anyone riding tomorrow? Where/When?

[TOTO]

Thursday 10/JULY Coro Loop.

Anyone willing, meeting me at BP autobahn papakura 10am.



Dakara you will be sweet bro, by the time it gets dark we will be already on motorway or already home.

Bring your hot clothes tho gents as the weather is mint rainwise but freezing cold dry wind is blowing.

I had two layers on plus my Cordura jacket with its winter lining and still froze my butt off. Oh thursday i will be wearing half my wordrobe :cold:


p.s. I miss my fairings :cold:

[Timati]

Toto,

What time do you think we'll be back? Have to be back at work at 5 p.m.

[ital916]

I am doing a coro loop tomorrow timati, will be heading thorugh kawakawa bay then kaiaua then miranda then kopu then the coro loop but not the full loop the half loop *which is long enough*, I have to blast through scenic drive later on to meet the missus *don't ya love people who live on great motorcycling roads haha*, now how the fuck do I get to kaiaua.

[TOTO]

Toto,

What time do you think we'll be back? Have to be back at work at 5 p.m.

if you gotta be back at 5 Id say you may or may not make it. Not sure 100%.

most likely you will be slightly late.


I got an idea, call sick ... I've heard coro loop is very medicinal ... :doctor:

Shooting into Motomail tomorrow to look at some new lids after I pay for the rest of the bike, and money allowing may get some Winter Quasi gloves as my M2R ones are horrible in the cold, nevermind the wet! Rest of me is usually not too cold with enough layers...

Hrmmm, should prob pick up some chain lube before the ride also. She's looking a bit dehydrated :rolleyes:

[motorbyclist]

Turn left on the road that goes over the railway lines in Kumeu town, then take the first left again and then it is sign posted form there on (from memory).

that's a very roundabout way that cuts out some awesome swanson backroads

gimmie a txt next time you're out my way! jeez! i'm always keen for a waitakere loop - only have to leave my driveway rather than this 2hours on the motorway towards uncertain weather BS


So what's the deal Toto? I might take a day off this week and would be keen for a pre-coro loop loop to compliment the Coro loop I did on Sunday :msn-wink:

well, was hoping to break out the dirt bike but i guess i'm gunna have to go for a pre-half-coro now

though for time reasons, given SMC/250 pace, i doubt doing a whole loop and/or all the pre-roads via miranda is going to end before dark....

keen for a half loop, but will have to see how well i wake up in the morning:D


excuse me if i go tearing past half way round the coro

[Choco]

Thursday should be sweet, I just hope it's dry!

[musicman]

You're kidding... after having to work in the great weather we've had so far this week (and for the rest of the week), you tell me we're gonna be having hailstorms this weekend?! :mad:

[motorbyclist]

yep, weather will turn to shit on friday night

but will clear up by sunday with a bit of luck:)

the problem is they can't realiably forecast more than 3 days... i've been carefully watching the forecast the last two weeks and they keep changing it, usually for the worse:(

Yea it's looking like shit! I get my forecasts from multiple sites (flying) but the only one I can link here as it doesnt require a login in Metvuw:
http://www.metvuw.com/forecast/forecast.php?type=rain&region=nzni&noofdays=5

That's the 5 day forecast, generally it's less accurate as you look past 3 days, but at this stage it's showing to clear about mid morning Sunday, but I wouldn't hold my breath as it's of a course a weekend...

[TOTO]

sweet as. See you all willing 10am autobahn.

we may even see Dushi's classic pocket rocket :drool:

My speedo was reading 110! :confused:, i'm confused..hey choco we need to do some motorway roll ons and see what the error on my speedo is, it just tends to read whatever the hell it feels like. Sometimes 70 is 80 etc.

As for the coro loop it was FUCKING AWESOME, I did my OWN pace and had a freaking ball. Those corners are just gorgeous in the dry. Keen to hit it again on the next dry day. Kopu hill in the rain with heavy winds and zero visibility was fun :lol: *not*

A BIG THANKS TO TOTO, FOR ORGANISING THE RIDE, HE HAS HE:PED BOOST MY CONFIDENCE NOW I"M BACK ON TWO WHEELS. BIG UPS TO YOU MY BROTHER.

[TOTO]

*smile* :D

[gunnyrob]

Cheers for another great ride guys, Ramon had a ball and we made it to the ATNR with 15 minutes to spare.

Hope all the drama got sorted with little difficulty. Big ups all round.:Punk:

I got a speedohealer on my bike which I can recalibrate my speedometer if I change sprocket size or tyre size. Cool item...I did read that every bike speedometer out of the factory floor has an error of about 5% or even up to 10%.

That might be your problem or it could be that the weather is so cold that you cannot feel your hands that you did not realise you are turning the throttle more than usual. Check your throttle cables to see if they are sticking etc.

[klyong82]

According to the forecast, Sunday looks great for a ride, Monday and Tuesday look alright too. Unfortunately I won't be able to make Sunday due to work (2PM-10PM).

So will definitely be going somewhere on Mon / Tue! Possibly Hamiltion via 22, or Kaiaua. Unless you guys are going there on Sunday?

Here's my highlight of yesterday's ride

[Macstar]

when we we're cruising to SH1 i was at 80km/hr pretty much constantly (by my speedo) what were you reading?


Yep, that sounds about right - it's bad enough doing 100kph, but 80kph? I had to leave you guys sorry.


Think I'll have to this one a miss :rolleyes:

You can come on the back of my Hornet - we'll have another go at that corner!

[Dakara]

You can come on the back of my Hornet - we'll have another go at that corner!

Mach 3 just isn't good enough when you can go warp speed :rolleyes:

[TOTO]

i gotta say I didnt enjoy the 80km/h stuff too but thats what you do for your friends with bold tyres and unworking head and back lights :)

O and I advice you all to invest in some clear visors for those "getting dark early" winter days :yes:

Tyre's aren't bald! There just as useful as a chocolate hammer in the wet :eek:
I was trucking along at 80 because every time i sped up to 100 you guys seemed to fall back and I couldn't work out if you wanted me to speed up or not.

and yeah, my own fault on the visor :doh:
Wasn't expecting it to rain, get dark, turn into fog and so on. :sweatdrop
I owe you big time for helping me out there man, could have taken me hours if you hadn't help me.

[Nagash]

Well, looks like I missed an.. eventful ride. Still, I had a pretty interesting weekend myself.

So when's the next one? Obviously not this sunday because it's gonna be bucketing down and after doing the coro loop in the rain once, while a great experiance, is not really something you'd enjoyably repeat.

I'm in with a grin for the next one..

Talk to the guys at Cycle Treads, Hornet ones are about $180 :niceone:
How do I know? I want some too :D
There not cheap, but oggy knobbs are some of the best you can buy

Yep, put my Oggys to test on the Hornet a few months back. Saved her from an insurance write off... Don't get cheap ones, they are likely to bite into the tarmac and flip your bike or snap off bits of the frame / engine.

[klyong82]

I got rg racing crash knobs.....bought from the UK paid $300 for swingarms and crash knobs.

[breakaway]

Just got back.

The ride was.... interesting to say the least. I got there, and by 10.30 it was just me and my mate. :crazy:

So we perused the map for a bit, and off we go. Got a tad lost and ended up at a Mobil at Pukekohe. After fueling up (again), I perused the map again, and asked the station staff if that was indeed the right way. She told me 'Yes, but be careful, watch out for the black ice on the road!

I thought "There ain't no way there's gonna be ice! It's nearly noon!".

Boy was I wrong. There wasn't much ice, but there sure as hell was a fuckload of fog all up SH22. It was so bad I couldn't see 50m even. Was very glad I wore my extra layer. However my pants had a rip on the right knee from my Port Waikato off so that was a bit unplesant with the cold air blasting in through there :(. We took it cautiously through there, and after almost 80km of thick-fog-slippery-roads riding, we got to the Waingaro Rd turnoff where we stopped briefly (my left side wing mirror came loose so I had to break out the onboard tool kit). We took some photos as well (Should be posting these shortly).

We then continuted towards hamilton along SH1. Boring and straight :yawn: Finally hit Hamilton, pulled into the BK and began chomping when I saw a couple more bikers (One on a the new Ninja and the other on a KTM of some sort) pull in too. Nodded at them etc :headbang:

And that was it really, after eating took SH1 North, back home.

[TOTO]

nice. sh22 is always a nice peace of road.

It is cold winter road tho , so extra layers of clothing required.
