The Inaugural Gixxer Club Ride

**2much** · 28th January 2006, 22:14

Seems to be enough interest so we'll make it official......

Ok, obviously alot of us think this is a great idea, so lets see who's willing to put their money where their mouth is.

Here's what I propose:

The first Gixxer club ride. February 6th (that's Waitangi day) We'll do the coro loop. JAFA's, oop's, I mean Aucklanders,

will meet at Autobahn at 1000 then will meet up with non-JAFA's at the Kopu pub at 1100.

This ride will be GSX-R's only (including 'Busa's), the only exception being WT if he wishes to come. It was his idea after all, and we all know where his loyalties lie anyway. (Anyone got a GSXR they can lend 'im?)

We'll do this one as a trial and if it works out, then there'll be more to come.

The destination is flexible, I'm aware that some would rather it was up north, so we'll run a poll and majority wins.

So it's time to stand up or shut up...... who's in?

**UPDATE**

Here's the plan (tks Qkchk):

When: Monday 6th Feb
Time: Meet at Shell Westgate @ 9.30am leave at 10am.

What we intend to do:
Ride to Paparoa where we will meet up with the Northern crew (4 Gixxers at this stage) @ 11.15. Do some hell riding in the Dargaville/Whangarei/Kaikohe area. If you think the Coromandel Loop is awesome, come up North and be re-educated! Come on you flacid lot, we want to get as many Gixxers as we can!!! Guaranteed to lose those chicken strips!! A ride not to be missed.

I'm in but can only offord to do a Northern ride at this stage.
Keen as for anywhere else in the future though.
Can rustle up another 3 or so Gix'rs from up this way too.

Location aside I will join for a short while [Post op weakness!].

Why waitangi day???

I'll prolly have the Gixx sorted by then but I got other shit on.....

**dv1nt** · 29th January 2006, 07:32

ok so the poll closes th day after the ride.... guess it's a fore gone conclusion then... asides the tin canz towing caravanz, boats and shite like that!!!! although that'll keep *555 busy

while making it harder for th fuzz to respond, sounds like a good ride.

Well someone had to grab the bull by the nuts and do something rather than just talk about what a great idea it was..... This is what I came up with.

But I'm open to suggestions, if you've got a better idea speak up........

Oh, and tin cans are just mobile chicanes

**aff-man** · 29th January 2006, 18:02

Sounds like a goer....

I'd be up for a coro loop cause the fuzz will be all over the north.
Mobile tin cans will be a problem but it just makes life more interesting...
Hopefully will have the new sprockets and brake pads on so will have to try them out
