Hey all,
after the spectacular ride to Whanagmata couple of weekends ago, the fullas at Wild West are keen to have another blat, this time to Dargaville.

As last time, they welcome any and all riders, of all sizes, age and skill so if you are wondering if this ride is for you, IT IS!!

Meeting point: Wild West Honda, 3018 Great North Road
Meeting time: 9.30am for 10am departure (trust me after getting left behind last time waiting for Isaac who showed up at 10.05)
Distance: 515km in total

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I didn't want to create a whole new one just for what I'm about to say:

Just to let the SMC crew know: If off to Oz on Thurs for the rest of October. Looking forward to a ride you with fellas when I get back and hopefully on my new motard (just dropped off the KTM to mechanic today to be sorted while I'm away). So make sure you guys plan a tight twisties ride for early November. Sweet!

Depends how you ride it....more like 50 bucks...
there is a long stretch of open road which you can take the bike to the max speed...in that case you will be eating fuel fast...

if yours runs is anything like my gsx250,$20= 300km + thrashing!

but you have a cbr250 (baaaaad call

) with there high reves at 100kmh then $30 will only get you half way....

but then again i never had a cbr250 so im not too sure. but it might make it on $30, take an extra 20 just incase.... hahah

I use spent 50 bucks on my last trip up there on the 929 but we went to Whangarei and we were doing exciting speeds.....

my average fuel consumption is 23km/L hence for the 515km that the ride is for i would need 22.391 L of fuel, at approximately $1.70 per liter cost = $38

is that round town or open road or a combination??

my ol vtr250 (oh i miss that bike

) gave me near 30km/l round town, with me burning off at every light but was shithouse out on the open road coz of having to be in high revs all the time.....

smaller bikes = more efficient round town but shithouse on open road

so true......!

**klyong82** · 18th October 2007, 20:34

CBR250RR's will do just fine on the open road sitting at 8000-9000rpm 6th gear doing 100km/h....besides bikerboy has a Roo Roo Roooooo Racing Exhaust. but yeah bring as much money as possible you need money for lunch too...

am pretty broke aye!! have to ask my bro for some money lol just bought a new leather jacket

and spent quit a bit on drinks last sat

last ride up north i spent about 35-40 bucks and i was reving it 19k and most of the time it was on 14

i took the silincer off so it sounds louder and feels a bit different.

hopefully ill get my front brakes fixed on sat.
