Yep, Im in.
If im not at Boriny Honda at 10, I will catch ya at BP Autobahn at 10 plus. Maybe meet you there too Din?

[reemit]

Great blast today. Lots of curious examining of tyres at each stop indicates what sort of ride it was.

[DidJit]

Indeed. :yes:

Cheers to the fellas waiting up at the start — I know it cut into your riding time a bit — but what a blast, eh... Beauty! :sunny:

[DIN PELENDA]

Yes that was lot of fun today, but we have to cut ride short , got kids and wife waiting, if you know what I mean. We just manage to get to Tuakau on last drop of gas. I'm just happy to get my self and bike home, after that slide:shit:, one on graver bit on my side between car tires which send me to other side of road to other slide:gob:, manage to keep it on road bit of luck there.

Great effort Sharper for getting new tire and join as for ride mate.

We're happy you kept it shiny side up too mate!:niceone:

[sharper_XB]

Cheers to all of you guys who hung around waiting for me to get the new back sticky bit installed, big ups to all of you, pity it took so long. mental note to self dont rely on shop to open early to get tire installed prior to ride, its going to spell disaster.

Anyway; they are more than half shagged already.

The sign of a damn good ride!

[DIN PELENDA]

I thought I was your only Din lol

[diggyduo]

Weather looks good for tomorrow....could be one the last great days of our endless summer....

New tyres fitted 'an all.

... Anyone got any suggestions where to go for nice ride? I'm running out of ideas, done just about all of roads x2.

I've got a destination in mind — it'll require a full day pass though! At least 6hrs in the saddle (return), but probably a bit more.

I'm going up Korumba's way plus a bit more to Mokau to see a mate. If you fellas wanna join me (and you're welcome to), I'll be leaving Shell Albany at 930(ish). Not sure of the exact route I'll be taking yet, but the aim is to take in the twisties.

See you at Shell at 9.30 got idea (suggestion) on route, how about thought Coastville Riverhead Hwy , Peaks rd, Kaipara hills-flats road , SH1 to Welsford for gas, over to Mangawhai, Kaiwaka or Waipu.......................................

[diggyduo]

Yep. See you there.

[reemit]

Yep, Ill be there,

[reemit]

Thanks for the ride today lads, bloody awesome roads up north. Not sure what reached the limiter first, me or the Fizzer. Dins limiter was adjusted a bit lower than normal with the young'un riding pillion. Hes made of stern stuff that young lad, no real complaining after 500km on the back of Dins R1. Looks like Diggyd wore out 200 bucks worth of tyre in one day, thats one week's worth of groceries down the gurgler.

[DidJit]

Yep, cheers for the company, fellas. You guys gotta do Russell Rd one day (if you haven't already) — seriously non-stop, tight twisties with some spectacular views along the way. I did about a third of it to get to Mokau, and it was, like, wow!

Some pics attached of my mate's "backyard." (Excuse the quality, they're just phone pics)

Oh yeah, I think I need new tyres now as well... :whistle:

[reemit]

Looks great buddy, def worth another trip. Tyres worn out , new tyres - or new bike, thats the dilemma. Will they last till after the end of the month? I just watched Beyonds Coro loop too, as we spoke about, great vids.

[diggyduo]

I don't mind living on rice and mince for a few days - fair sacrifice if you ask me......

Reemit, appreciate the efforts to get me home on time!! Would have been well early of you had wheeled the ape out for the day. Definitely scoped some great tracks...and looks like DidJit found some more further north for the next expedition. Great piccies.

Din; you're a hard man having to starting work after a day like that!

Ciao 4 now

[diggyduo]

Not remotely related to the SARSAR, but - seen this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUlX4qavDTk&feature=related) guy? Reckon he needs some pilot road 2's - they might help with his wet weather riding. Looks like splitting is legal in Greece too:eek5:

He's totally barkers of course, but pretty amazing bike control nonetheless.

[reemit]

He's totally barkers of course, but pretty amazing bike control nonetheless.
Maybe he's mates with this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-QIFGRYPzI&feature=related or this bloke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e12lEzK2qec&feature=related

[diggyduo]

That gannet dog is classic in the second vid....

I'm bacheloring it this sat if you gents are heading out again. No curfew for once, so it's a shame you are locked up Din!

[DidJit]

Dunno if I'll be able to make tomorrow. Gotta get new tyres.
Didn't quite get the 12,000kms I was skiting about either...

[Cristian]

Anyone keen this saturday for a run?

[waitup]

Hi Mate - I just checked and discovered I got 15k out of the tires on the ZZR1100!!! . Not bad considering.

That ride up north looks pretty darn good. Will have to check out next time I go north.

[waitup]

I am leaving it up to Didjit to text me the next time you guys head south and do a Waihi-Coromandel run. I will meet up with you at Paeroa. :scooter:

[reemit]

if you gents are heading out again.
Anything sorted for Sat? Ive got other stuff planned but that can wait if theres a ride on the offing.

[reemit]

I'm coming out for a tootle. Are you meeting Drury or Albany?

Wouldn't mind a Coro loop run today.

[diggyduo]

Sha weet. Is it alright down south? Bit wet up this way.

[DidJit]

Swing by Drury Tires on your way through if you do. I'm off there now to get in line.

Weather's fine here. :sunny:

[diggyduo]

Cool. See you all at zee Bee Pee (and you at the tyre shop didJit)

[Cristian]

You guys have a great one Coroloop is to much for me and I dont have the time to do it. Ride on.

[DIN PELENDA]

You guys have a great one Coroloop is to much for me and I dont have the time to do it. Ride on.

Remember last time we did it and stop at BP to fill up, we meet that group of hardcore riders, you probably notice guy ( Paul ) on black zx10 (riding same bike like u). That was guy taken by cop doing u-turn.

[DidJit]

So how was the Coro today, gents?

[reemit]

So how was the Coro today, gents?We didn't wanna tell you mate, but since you asked, Sorry it was bloody awesome. Dry as, not much traffic, no radars. My old fizzer only worked right once the tyres were up to temp so there was a bit of squirming going on to start with. We went the long way to Coro town then the long way back for good measure. Back past the chippy, bumped into Idol taking inthe view near Kawakawa. We were even able to take in some other sort of 'scenery' too at the Kopu public house establishment.
DiggyD needs new tyres again, can you recommend anywhere Didgit?

[diggyduo]

.............:sherlock:

Met some guy that rode 1200 kms to do the loop today too, how's that for commitment.

Anyone wanna go back to the Kopu pub?

Yes please!

[DidJit]

Glad you had a great ride with some entertainment for good measure. You know I'd have been there too...

Managed to fix up the mirror, indicator and brake lever myself, so BBII's rideable (at least to work and back). I'm getting it properly inspected on Monday to make sure there's nothing wrong. The shop says they'll pick up the tab and make sure BBII's back to how she was before their "whoopsie." Sometimes shit happens, sometimes we make mistakes, but good on them for taking it on the chin and wanting to put it right.

1,200kms eh? Good on that man! No excuses for us all not to check out Russell Rd then one of these days... :D

[DIN PELENDA]

I wold love to join you for ride guys, but stuck home with kids, wife have to work and I'm at work now , so better get my sorry ass back to work.

[diggyduo]

Hi Din, good on ya for heading to the funeral on Friday. Sounds like there ended up being a decent turn out of bikes for such a terrible situation.

There's always next week for a ride!

As an aside, one of the less pleasing things Reemit saw from the pub was a silver hilux mufti heading past the gassie. First time i've seen a farmers wagon being used by the law (un marked anyway)

[caseye]

Din, I know the protets thing has been done to death but here we go again, the Auckland Action Groups main antagonists, Mom and Maha the M%M's have an event planned for next Saturday the 1st of May 2010.
I'll be leading off a bunch of riders rom the BP Autobahn at Papakura and there will be three other groups converging on the Domain and then Queen street, then off to Mission bay for lunch.
As many riders as we can get would be appreciated.Though the laws are being changed and the ACC levies will be raiseed there is No reason in the world why we should take it sitting down.
Also these rides are going to happen regularly and we'd like to increase everyones awareness of the pending Bikhoi 2 this coming November 2010 of course in Wellington once more.
We are intending to keep these issues alive and in front of the general public and the minds of as many bikers as we can.
Your continued support and turning out is appreciated.
Heres a link to the event and a place to sign on as attending.

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&day=2010-5-1&c=0

I hope to see many of the regular SATNR and SASR's as possible here on Saturday the 1st.

[DIN PELENDA]

Thanks for that caseye, but I not going to let Nick and ACC spoil my weekend ride. My self not keen on riding to city and Mission Bay and I rather do 22, Coro,.... or ride north and check that Russell rd. Anyway if anyone keen for protest ride go for it. But if any of you keen ride south, we can meet up at BP at 10am, if anyone like to ride north we can meet up at Albany or west-gate. Lot of options there any suggestions are welcome. I not going to protest ride maybe next time but not on my Saturday ride this is third time M&M put it on same day as SARSAR ride and not even send me invitation to it, and Nick can go fuck him self , I don't think whatever you do now is not going to make any difference, but good luck to you all , let me know how you get on with it.
Ride on !!!
Din

Not too bad, on non scrubbed in tyres it would have been tough. Bit slippery did some good roads though, we decided that the clouds further north looked like impending doom so wimped out and went back to Dins for a tasty BBQ, yum.

26 litres would probably get me to Wellington....................if i rode like a girl!

It's butt ugly tho

[DidJit]

Iffy. (http://metservice.com/national/maps-rain-radar/rain-radar-forecasts/rain-forecast-3-day)

Why did you go there, is it anything to do with street-fighter's , I think they base in Tauranga and you can get some fairing's from them. Hope that one can fit and if you going to have indicators on back, you can have my back light, ether way.
How is that young couple.

Yeah, great ride guys..cheers!!!

I actually enjoyed that gravel excursion. Compared to the old ZZR the new Honda negotiated the twistie gravel no problems. Usually I am scared on gravel, but found myself opening up the throttle a little :eek:. Was a great ride and enjoyed travelling some roads I have not done before. Good to catch up with you Din!!

Thanks guys, I really enjoyed today. As for the slips, well....non event really. Coro loop lived up to its usual expectation, beautiful weather and besides a few other bikers enjoying the conditions surprisingly quiet for a weekend (I thought).

[GreyAngel]

sorry guys, it just wasn't my day....

[DidJit]

No need to apologise, mate; don't worry about it. You were doing fine from my point of view, but good on you for calling it if you didn't feel it was happening for you. See you again another time. :niceone:

[caseye]

GreyAngel, the words"ride your own ride" are uttered at every SATNR ride , theres a reason for that.
We'd rather someone called time and rode home than they tried to push the envelope and ended up crashing.It's never been about going as fast or as slow as anyone else, simply enjoying the company of a few good men and Women on a pleasant pootle in the country side.
Hope you enjoy the next ride.

Hi guys, just to sidetrack you a little, I have organised a Ulysses weekend at Miranda and thought I'd ask you lot about a suitable ride that would take 1-2hrs at medium pace, from Miranda and ending back there? Never been down there myself, so am looking forward to it and have been told it is a great place to ride around in. Thanks Al.

Ok here it is you fullas and fullesses, a few of us from the SARSAR rides have decided to have a day out at the track on SUN 19th of Dec at Hampton Downs. So save your pingas and come and join us for a day on the track. the 200 smackaroos entry fee for a day on this track is well worth it, they run 4 different speed goups to cater for all levels so if you have a full set of leathers or a zip together 2 peice leather suit, leather gloves and proper boots you are quids in, otherwise beg, borrow or pilfer some (they do offer them for hire as well) and get your arse out there and join us. check out the hampton downs ride days website for all the info you need, google it you will find it and make your booking. Hope to see a few more of the regulars there.

Yeah mate look like this tread is dead, I love to come and join you for ride but my wife work taking kids to rainbow's end I have to be there.

[sharper_XB]

Fuck looks like I will be riding with my other mates then, Scott and his no friends. Have a good one at rainbows end with day whānau hope they don't enforce the height restriction on ya and don't let you on the rides

[sharper_XB]

So peeps, whos still planning on attending this?? from the look of the long range forecast we might be better to do the Saturday 18th rather than the Sunday 19th, looks to only be light showers for Saturday, if you are worried about a wet track forget it, Hampton is sticky if its wet or dry, trust me I've tried it in both conditions.

You still keen?

[DidJit]

I'm booked for the 19th, bro.

[idleidolidyll]

nah

keen on a ride but not a track day

gotta run the new thing in

[Crazy Steve]

Ok here it is you fullas and fullesses, a few of us from the SARSAR rides have decided to have a day out at the track on SUN 19th of Dec at Hampton Downs. So save your pingas and come and join us for a day on the track. the 200 smackaroos entry fee for a day on this track is well worth it, they run 4 different speed goups to cater for all levels so if you have a full set of leathers or a zip together 2 peice leather suit, leather gloves and proper boots you are quids in, otherwise beg, borrow or pilfer some (they do offer them for hire as well) and get your arse out there and join us. check out the hampton downs ride days website for all the info you need, google it you will find it and make your booking. Hope to see a few more of the regulars there.

Sounds like fun Sharper...But for $200 I could do a fair amount of riding else where....Sometimes I wonder where they get there pricing from and how people can afford it...:(

To be honest I still wouldn't do it. even if it was $100...I know Im tight ! !

But then I have done alot of Suzuki Trackdays for $30 and some for free.....:)

Crazy Steve.

Not trying to piss on your day I really wouldn't mind doin it, but the $200 could be better spend elsewhere sorry..:violin:

[idleidolidyll]

You guys have a nice day Sunday: i'm riding tomorrow to get a few miles on the beats and Sunday for Gary's memorial.

Got the grandkids over the 'break' so I probably won't get many chances to ride again after Whanganui right through to the weekend of the 8/9th.

Just some photos from Wanganui :

[DIN PELENDA]

What a day.:sunny::woohoo:

[DidJit]

Yo! Just seeing what the interest would be in a SARSAR excursion to HD on the 3rd of next month (next Monday)?

If not the track, then maybe one of our "normal" rides. I hear Diggyduo has been exploring roads for us up north and would like to show us his finds. :D

P.S. Great photos, Din! Looks like y'all had a good day. :yes:

[diggyduo]

I'm in either way......and keen before than for a ride too when the wx clears.

Din, you thinking of mortgaging the house and getting a new Duke 1198?

Mate you are hooked on track:innocent:, love to join you but even normal ride is sometimes expensive for me(I love all my kids but damn they can eat, I see if they can go hungry for few days)
Ride north for change be good.

I try few times negotiating that with my wife, always end up with me getting hiding.
Be good to catchup with you, before you disappear again.

[DidJit]

Mate, you are hooked on track :innocent: ...

That I am — you just can't do on the road what you can do on the track. Having said that, I think the general consensus is that we go for one of our rides somewhere on the 3rd. I need to save for CSS and my rego next month anyway. And it seems there may be a few others joining us for a ride as well.

[DIN PELENDA]

Thinking of doing Coro loop tomorrow, anyone keen ?

[m3rl1n]

howdy , yeah i as considering the coro loop aswell .

[DidJit]

Chores, chores and more chores for me tomorrow, but still on for a ride on Monday.

[Badgerclarke]

Are forum newbies welcome on these rides guys? Arrived in Beachlands from the UK after my missis decided she wanted to come home and loving it so far, especially the weather! Bought a new Honda Predator just before Christmas which I'm still breaking in and I need to get some miles in so that I can get the first service out of the way. Be good to meet some Kiwi bikers and take a look at some good roads, how long does the Coro loop take to ride?

[diggyduo]

Hi gents.

Welcome to KB, Badgerclarke. :) Newbies are welcome as long as you remember the mantra, "Ride your own ride."

Don't try to keep up if the pace is too much — the Leader will always wait at intersections for everyone and the Tail End Charlie brings up the rear no matter what the pace of the other riders is in the group. Conversely, respect the pace set by the leader and don't try to hurry anyone along. Also, check out the Group Ride Guide (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/107628-The-Group-Ride-Guide).

The Coro Loop is one of the best motorcycling routes in NZ (although at peak holiday times less so). It takes about 5–6 hours to complete from our rendezvous (not that we're ever in a hurry to get it over and done with — the scenery is just fantastic!)


... Can chuck some snags on the BBQ for ya if you end up this way on Monday.

:drool: :yes: :rockon:

[Badgerclarke]

Cheers sounds good...let me know where and when and I'll join you on Monday.

[DIN PELENDA]
