**carver** · 13th December 2005, 16:21

sun (18th) 2pm
the whitehall loop-170kms,some tight and twisty, some more open spots.
i hope the roads are in good nick, we have 2 GSX 250's going and my good o'l DT175s, so keeping up shouldnt be a prob.
any questions pm me or post a reply!
so far all of us are in the 16-21 years age bracket, but all ages welcome
i will have copies of the road names for the way to go if anyone is keen on that idea.
My dT's fuel level should be down into the MLs by the time its done!
cheers

Interesting riding in them th'r parts

**Waylander** · 13th December 2005, 16:46

If I can somehow work a miracle, I wont be here. But if I can't work the miracle, I'll be too broke. I hate my job.

**carver** · 13th December 2005, 16:58

wouldnt matter mate
we all decided to ban the early viargro's from ever riding with us...
NAh....just kidding...that would be Usless club style
if your heading to battele of the streets on boxing day we can organise something? yea?

**Waylander** · 13th December 2005, 17:03

Probably not gonna be up to much next few weeks since work has shut down. And seeing as how they were discontinued in 99 and mine is only a 93, that would make it a later model.

BTW, PMed this to a few other Hamilton riders I know, ones that may miss it during the short time they are logged on. So may get a few CBR250s and possibly some FXR150s to show up lol.

**Pathos** · 13th December 2005, 21:11

Will be there....

You can bo some of my gas, I only need the fumes

**Warr** · 14th December 2005, 07:09

Yep I'd be kean if I'm in town.
Tell us where you are leaving from

**carver** · 14th December 2005, 15:06

it looks as though we will be leaving from the service station along cobham drive, i cant remember what it is.
if your heading out of hamilton along cobham drive, you go through a roundabout indicating a turn off to the uni, straight after that is the gas station on your left (i think its a bp or caltex)
some one reply if they know what it is!
cheers
carver

**Waylander** · 14th December 2005, 15:11

It's on Cambridge road. Give me a sec I'll walk out my front door and see what station it is. Think it's a BP. You peaple will be a whole 500 feet from my house. lol

EDIT: Survey says.... It's a Caltex.

**carver** · 14th December 2005, 15:28

so 2pm at the caltex on cobbham drive this sunday

thanks waylander

Well last week I hit 132 kmph ....which on a machine with twice the hp you can probably do it in 4th :P

But I'll be careful too because I haven't riden this road before, almost over ran a 40kmph corner on the raglan run the first time i did it.

Most important thing is to look through the corner. Your head can only work out how fast you can take it if you can see where you are gonna end up and thus the angle involved. target fixation is also a danger if you're new. I almost got into trouble a couple of times because of it. Make sure you are always looking where you want to end up otherwise you don't balance the bike properly.

**Waylander** · 14th December 2005, 22:20

Meant to ask you earlier mate, ya think Peaches will be on this ride?

**carver** · 15th December 2005, 15:44

yea, peaches will be in!
if only you could come, there would definatly be no race pace:eyepoke:
hahahahh...just kidding amigo.
its some VERY tight twisty roads, but dont worry, its ok, nothing ya cant handle!
you will like it
oh yea, i have taken a fxr up to 157kph before, standard!
