Anyone keen for a CORO This FRIDAY 31st OCT ?

[TOTO]

As per thread name. Seeing that weather is supposed to be nice , I'm keen to do a CORO if I got a company of at least 2-3 people.

Any takers ?

RIDE IS ON :niceone:


EDIT - Ride details: FRIDAY 31st OCT

Some of us North Shore boys are meeting at BP Onewa Road at 8:45 and leaving at 9:00am

Going to fuel up at BP Autobahn at about 9:30 - 9:45 and we shooting at 10:00am. Anyone keen can meet us there.

Planning to be in Kopu by 11:00 - 11:30max. So if anyone outside of Auckland wants to meet us there, you can wait for us at the Mobil Petrol Station at Kopu from 11am.


Loop Clockwise as per usual. Lunch at yummy tavern at Coroglen. Plan is to do the whole loop and even stop at the gold mine for a look.

I do not recommend the loop for super novice riders i.e. less than 6 months constant riding experience. apart from that all welcome.

I'm going on the baby hornet, ride will be kept at legal speeds but not slow as a nana in the corners. In saying that , Anyone is wellcome to ride how they like (i'm not your mummy) and also have no problem waiting for people on the turns :niceone:

Weather forcast is looking quite sweet, but ride is weather dependent after all. Final Confirmation of ride going ahead is going to be in this first post by 8:00am

man you've got waaaay too much free time on your hands todd......and where the hell are you getting money for new tyres from?!?! im dreading the upcoming change of tyres i'll have to fork out for...keeping a very close eye on the old bank balance :oi-grr: :weep:

[shingo]

man you've got waaaay too much free time on your hands todd

My thoughts exactly.

And surely you have some exams to study for as well, or you're some super genius that can cram in a semesters work in one night. Wish i could do that.

[PirateJafa]

Somewhat interested.

Ooooh a Coro loop, eh? Sounds like an appropriate "last ride" on the Zeal before chucking it on Trademe...

[kevfromcoro]

slow down......

Had one exam today - 3 to go , but not till monday anyway. Going to all lectures and taking detailed notes about whats on the exams = less revision time


Somewhat interested.

Wicked :niceone:

bloody awesome yet the SMC usually hops off sh1 long before it on the straightest, most boring miranda route imaginable

[Blackbird]

Keep your eyes peeled in the hills just north of Wilson's Bay. When I went down to Thames on Tuesday, there were some patching crews working up there and they hadn't done a good job at all in cleaning up the pea gravel they'd scattered about. Might be ok by now but better safe than sorry....

So you are not actually joing us at all. Man your posting so confusing I must admit , so many dots and commas without an exact answer. And I was beeting myself coz I'm foreign :blink:


You're getting from Drury roundabout to Kopu in 15 mins? :chase:

Drury to Kopu is 100km. 15 min it means he is averaging going 400km/h. Thats takes some skill :clap:

[Gubb]

He wants to meet at Drury instead of Autobahn, with enough time left to get to Kopu by 11am.

I'm keen. He will be at Kopu at 11am anyway.

how the hell do you get that from "will be at dury roundabout at 11am"??

[cave weta]

the last of the twisties betweem Whiritoa and Waihi was being sealed today-
it wont be finished by tomorrow but once it is it will be Lurvelly for the rest of the summer!

watch out for marbles and big yellow trucks with flashing lights

[cave weta]

And any bike problems on the loop- RING ME 021 205 7266 I do salvage and storage for bikes in Waihi. cheapest rates.

[musicman]

lol, last guy to do that ended up selling to insurance... and cancelling the new cbr600 he had just laid down a deposit for until his wrist healed up enough to allow him to continue work

Ah, but he ended up with a 2006(?) ZX6R, much better than any CBR (in the looks department anyway, damn those 05/06 636's are sexy!).

[motorbyclist]

did he? havn't actually heard from him since

user name was Dakara wasn't it?

[musicman]

did he? havn't actually heard from him since

Yep, Dakara, he got a 636 not long after the accident, before his wrist was healed enough to ride it. Can you imagine having a 636 sitting in your garage but actually being physically unable to ride it? I'd probably be just sitting on it all day! :lol:

[motorbyclist]

ah yeah i remember reading about that!

poor bugger, lucky he only broke his wrist though:crazy:

[PirateJafa]

Sorry guys, looks like I'll be doing other things. Like liberating my bikes from a certain school.

[kevfromcoro]

Did any of you guys peel off and explore the road that goes round the northern edge of Coro Harbour? Saw a blue and white multi (250?) go past whilst I was in the garden.

Hope your pacemaker is charged up buddy. I should do the loop more often.

Did anyone find out who the two lassies were at the castle? Lol

The rear tyre is now 25% canvas and the front pads are like rizlas.

[nosebleed]

Good ride, thanks TOTO for getting that together. Bit of a rocky start but we got there, it's all good on a Friday. Wee bit longer than I thought i'd do so now I've got a Panadol/ Codeine/ Volataren and every other bastard pill loaded day.

Good to meet Scracha (some good wit there brother "He rides an Italian Bike he'll have an AA Membership") and Kev - sure Kev went back to find those girls at the Castle to see if they wanted to come over for Sushi as well - Poon Hound!

Bad luck with the Hyo Gubb - and big ups to scracha for going back to find him.

lucky buggers! I had school :weep:
Pic's or it didnt happen by the way.

Nobody had cameras, haha, and I had my friend's camera but I'd left the memory card at home :pinch:
TOTO has a couple of pics of the big L&P bottle at Paeroa in his phone though.

It was a nice ride, good to meet you guys, being an Asian I had a hard time understanding some of what scracha was saying! :o Hahaha.

[TOTO]

ucky buggers! I had school
Pic's or it didnt happen by the way.

you sound more and more like Ej :)

[nosebleed]

...being an Asian I had a hard time understanding some of what scracha was saying! :o Hahaha.

mate i still don't have clue what he said all day.. i just nodded and laughed at the appropriate times :2thumbsup

edit: i did understand the turning to me with - "hurry up you useless twat!"

[scracha]

Only guy I understood was the Scotsman with the BMW..... You kiwi's all talk funny like. Top moment was the 2's up action on the 250 hornet. The coro loop probably isn't the best place for a pillion virgin.

Was looking forward to carver and ducatihard giving us noobs the learn.

Musicman....gawd that thing is gutless even for a 250. Pretty wee thing though (and yes, i'm talking about the bike).
Kev....practise makes perfect (sashimi wo tabetai desu yo!)

Oh bike thang....haven't got a bloody spanner big enough to get he rear wheel nut off (single sided thing defies physics i tells ya).

fuggin bbq rained off........... :argh:

[Gubb]

Ah well.

Pottered around in Thames until 2.30 when the missus turned up. Headed back to the B&B, got the bike.

Finally got home at 7pm after dropping off the trailer and being stuck in horrendous traffic.

Took off all the fairings, seat, pulled out the plugs. From what I could see it wasn't a piston.

Loaded it up and dropped it off to Spectrum, they will have a look when they get a chance, but being a mechanic down, that won't be till late next week.

Gutted.

Awesome meeting Scracha, Nosebleed and Kev though.

I think Nosebleed passed us on the Harbour Bridge at about 6pm.

[EJK]

It was a nice ride, good to meet you guys, being an Asian I had a hard time understanding some of what scracha was saying! :o Hahaha.

Yeah me too I had some difficulty but just laugh at the end of each full stop and it's all good :innocent:



you sound more and more like Ej :)

Hes got the same job as me too

[TOTO]

here you go choco - proof that we were there :wari:
