Coromandel Ride<br /><center>5^th June</center>

Some of the folks from up north are keen to see this Coromandel place so we are coming down to the big smoke to try it out. We will be doing the complete loop, so plan on being out most of the day.

This ride will be for anyone who's keen to come, all speeds(we wait at all the turnoffs etc)no probs with slower riders.
WARNING: I will make it clear right now that there are fast paced riders amoungst us and there could well be the odd wheelie or two, so if you have a problem with either it may be advisable not to come. Otherwise we welcome all others.

Meet at the Papakura Autobahn at 9.30am, ready to leave by 10 sharp.
Prolly go via Clevedon (passing through about 10.15)-> Kaiawa.

This will be weather dependent of course....I'm not real keen on the wet, I’ll keep this updated. :niceone: fingers crossed.....
I've got a couple of whangerei-ites here so this is still a go. :niceone:
OK.Sunday 7am.We're ready,weather don't look too bad :niceone: so it's all on.....no wimping :cold: out now..... :devil2:

the only reason the will only be 1 or 2 wheelies is due to the fact that your wheelies last for kilometers.....

Im keen, and should be able to come...

[Mr Skid]

there could well be the odd wheelie or two :killingme:killingme:killingme

plan on being out all day....(first post upgraded again)

[dss3]

I'll meet you fulla's at kopu service station. Any other hamilholers going over feel free to shout out and we'll ride over together if you like. Meet at McD's on te rapa straight. Suss out time later

[justsomeguy]

Really DEATH??

Since when did you learn how to ride fast?? And can you really wheelie???



:msn-wink:


I shall help stop your bikes from overheating by making you take lengthy stops as you wait for me to catch up:yes:

[justsomeguy]

You should definetly come along. The Coro loop is one of the nicest rides I've been on. And despite what his name says - "Death" is one of the best guys to go riding with. The chap has helped me out heaps and I've learnt a ton of information from just talking to him.

[Wonko]

Is penciled in. Only reason I won't be there is if I get a better offer(unlikly at this stage)

[Warr]

Long weekend had planned on heading up to Whangarei. If that changes would be keen to join up as part of a Ham group.

[HDTboy]

I may be keen, got to do a clutch on my bike before then, and might be getting hungover on sunday, I'll know later in the week

[dss3]

Woops didn't realise that it was the long weekend. In which case I too will be heading up to Whangarei. Look out for a crazy cage driver in a late model Commodore haha :msn-wink:

WEll what can I say... but
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ok I am over it... I should be back riding in July....hopefully.

Hey you all have a great ride.... I have been and done the loop twice now and all those that havent ridden it will love it.... On the top of some of the hills there are the most amazing views to see.......
Oh and watch out for the bees... they like to sting ya over that way...lol.

All I can say is that Death does the most amazing wheelies... at a fast pace..... so be warned please do keep an eye out for the orange beast coming up from behind you.... Death caught me out once whizziing past me doing a wheelie....

Slower riders enjoy the ride and ride only at your pace, especially on the twisties..... :ride: :ride: :ride: :ride:

You all have fun and I shall look forward to seeing the wonderful pics.
:ride: :ride: :ride:

[Vagabond]

Hopefully I'll make it, don't think i've been on a ride with you since my bin.
I'll try not keep you waiting for too long at the intersections!
Perhaps we could get a photo of my cruiser on it's back wheel?

Catch ya Sunday.

[6Chris6]

Damn! Coro is the bestest place in the whole world (in my small world). I used to live there, and have driven between Coro and Thames about 200 or so times...and ridden it about 10 or so since moving back to Auckland and getting my bike, and I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. Adding in the loop across the hill now that it's sealed is just magic!

Work on the weekend dictates I won't be there though...have fun guys...

[Coldkiwi]

mmmmm.. Coro loop.... taaaaaasty!

might make that ride the final hurrah for my rear tyre!

i'll apply for leave with the wife :)

Nah mate you confused!! those are the rides MR organises [pt]

I went on rides with Death back when i was a noob and they are sweet as everyone waits for everyone and there is no pressure to "race" or speed, each to their own sort of thing

[justsomeguy]

Hahaha - You saying Death is slower than MR??? :killingme

Naa, they are both good riders. There is no pressure to race at any ride. Unless the rider decides for him/herself.

(I know you were taking the piss Alex)

[enigma51]

Cool I will be keen ..... if I have the bike by the then :Punk:

[Matt Bleck]

Sweet see you at the kopu tav. Whats your eta?

[nzkalt61]

Tink and I have just been down to Whangamata on our bikes and came back through the gorge to Kopu, a little damp but great roads in that area. We didnt have time to go up round the top to Corromandel, would be great to do it with other riders. My bike went into the shop today but should only be a minor, told the mechanic I needed it back by Queens Birthday weekend. Hopefully Tink will be able to make it too, shes working Saturday and Monday, but she will try to squeeze it in.:ride: :ride: :niceone:

[sarg]

sounds good we will plan on riding it :D

[Matt Bleck]

Sweet see you at the kopu tav. Whats your eta?


or should that be Kopu servo? timmy!!

[DEATH_INC.]

Sweet see you at the kopu tav. Whats your eta?
Usually takes between 3/4 to 3 hrs on a kb ride.......so aim for about 11am all going well.The servo will be better,but I'll guess you'll notice a big ass bunch of bikes turning up.....

[Matt Bleck]

[Zapf]

Oh and TS... please don't zoom pass me at XXXkm/h :whistle:

[ajturbo]

i just may have to get the turbo out......luke and i need a good blast to clear the air.....

[Riff Raff]

Hmm.... I wonder whether this ride would constitute "strengthening my wrist" after getting cast off before heading back to work????

[Two Smoker]

i'll apply for leave with the wife :)

dam..you have made me think of my back tyre..:no:

[Jeremy]

I'll come as long as nothing else pops up or I run out of money for petrol or it rains.

How many kms is it for the entire loop?

[chickenfunkstar]

I'll come as long as nothing else pops up or I run out of money for petrol or it rains.

How many kms is it for the entire loop?

Probably between 300 - 400 km for the whole day from Manakau, depending of course on the route taken.
Its not unusual for me to cover 600km for a day if I go to the coromandel, but I live ages away.

[NhuanH]

Sutage, I'll be there, will be happy to show u how to ride naked.... with head down and tail up. :Punk:
woo hoo! a nekkid rider at the beginning of June :cold: ummmm....is farting considered one of them trick exhaust valves these modern bikes have? :D or is that excessive emissions, y'know, non Euro regs?

[justsomeguy]

Also as well as if you dont like long wheelies..or being overtaken (like some the other week on 22) or people going a teeny bit over the posted limit, then I suggest you piss off home and stay there.
No fucking whinging after the ride that you felt pressured and you crashed or any of that shit.
Come along if you want but you are responsible for yourself, nobody else.

Bull shit - you guys should be more responsible. You make people feel too pressured.

I remember you last time threatening one of the newbies if they didn't keep up with you with a bomb that would go off if they dropped their speed below a certain limit.

And also you pulling wheelies all the time making newbies think that it was wrong to ride on two wheels, except while stopped.

Also what's with shooting at police cars as they passed you by???

You're setting a Baaaad example..............:no:


P.S: For all the idiots who take this seriously - this is a piss take. SpeedMedic is one of the nicest guys.

[justsomeguy]

woo hoo! a nekkid rider.......

Why are you getting so excited at a big naked ugly :devil2: ??

:killingme :killingme :killingme

You wont be doubling anyone this time, especially as your be doing the naked thing. I certainly will not remain behind you very long if your naked and doing the head down tail up thing. :no:

[NhuanH]

Why are you getting so excited at a big naked ugly :devil2: ??

[loosebruce]

Ah fuck i wish someone told me that last time i went for a road ride with Death 5 months ago or so.

Oh yeah i'm in btw, going to be a kin busy weekend but it's all good, haven't been out Coro for longtime and im missing it badly. i have no plans to put the TL to rest round there either for those wondering :ride:

I'll put my hand up and say that i'll be more than happy to cruise at the back with any newer guys that come along for a good part of it and help with lines or give tips etc etc, but it'd be rude not to eh stretch the legs of the TL a bit and um give the front tyre a rest at some stage along the ride, i got a new clucth to eh bed in ya see :yes:

Catch ya all there.

[PhilBilly]

Ive just moved in to Hammy so im keen for the ride. Dont know my way around much at the mo so any helpers would be fantastic.

[enigma51]

Im definitly in (if it is not raining) got the bike today

Bastard.................... * crosses fingers and hopes he has his back next week*

[Dutchee]

Any room for a couple of road legal traillies? (I think I'm meant to say slow, but that's just me). No guarantees as something may come up.

[enigma51]

Mate at least you did not wait for three months for fucking paint job :weird:

[2_SL0]

If the weathers good and I aint got nothing on, ill be in.

[Blackbird]

If anyone (god forbid!) has any problems on the ride close to Coromandel township and needs a helping hand, give me a call on 027 430 4156. I'll be up there at our bach and will have the car and we have a trailer up there too. We're heading up tonight and will be there until about 2.30pm Sunday.

you mean sunday the 5th of june? or this weekend?

[Blackbird]

Whoops - sorry about that. :weird: At present, we're up there EVERY weekend between the stated times working on the house and garden so it basically stands good whenever anyone is up there and the trailer lives up there :niceone: The only downside is that the 'bird only gets ridden there every few weeks because of carrying materials and cats! Occasionally, my wife relents and takes the car by herself :Punk:

[Jeremy]

Sorry, looks like I won't be able to come, I forgot about a prior commitment :/
Cya, next time.

[magnum]

keen as!!!if the weather is ok. :niceone:

[SPman]

If the weathers good and I aint got nothing on, ill be in.

Sooo....you'll be with Feint, will ya?

Head down, arse up and venting?

[2_SL0]

lolol, I will be somewhere towards the rear of the troop.

Sweet as,sudeep comes on a XR600 quite often,complete with knobbies etc,if you can keep up with him though I'll be real impressed......

[Dutchee]

Nope, can't keep up with him - he rides like a loon ;) I'm presuming it was him overtaking us when we were heading back from Raglan via SH22 - kept expecting to come round a corner to find him in a crumpled heap. I think we've seen you somewhere near Miranda doing a wheelie (we had a discussion later about whether the bike was orange or red) - I was impressed but had to remember to watch the road, not my mirrors (we were heading south, wheelie bike heading north).

[justsomeguy]

There'll be plenty of time to see Death accidentally lifting the front tyre as it bounces off a crest/bump in the road :devil2:

[FEINT]

Sooo....you'll be with Feint, will ya?

Head down, arse up and venting?

what did I do? :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

I feel I needed to clear up innocent FEINT's name and shame as the rider of nudity. It is that mad loon Zapf. Although it happens to me too, all these damned Asians look alike! :shifty:

[ajturbo]

what did I do? :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:


ummmm you live in auckland?????:rofl: :weird: :motu:

[Coldkiwi]

see how its done!? You're Mr Coromandel himself! I've seen you coming back the other way as the rest of us just start the loop in the mornings.

why do I get the feeling 'be good to catch up' will be closely followed by 'and overtake you as well'? ;)

Hehehe - no worries...... but nice of you for believing that SM actually managed to get a bomb that would go off if the newbies dropped their speed below a certain level and a gun to shoot police cars.

Mate considering what SpeedMedic does for a living I think he's a bloody legend/Hero/Great Guy/Top Bloke/All of the above.

How many lives and limbs you think that fella must have saved?? Probably more than half of us will collectively do in our entire life.

He's da man:yes:

Yup that's where I got it from - brains not yet developed a decent imagination yet.

Hey do you remember the opening sequence - in speed 2 I think......

There was a super hot scene on a ducati - well it looked super hot to a 13 year old who knew nothing about bikes back then........

Slighty off topic. But yip it was a black duke and he was dodging a whole lot of obsticles etc etc etc..... pretty silly really MI2 one (although corney) was better (Matrix2 even better still)

[Mr Skid]

And you have four so I guess that makes you a genius :not:Genius? Tired maybe.
I needed all four to satisfy your mum. She's a thirsty wee lass. :drinkup:

[Zapf]

And why are you standing at the curb??? Can't figure out why you need to cross the road?? Ask a chicken will ya........:devil2:

Sorry, I wear leather and you don't. You are just not my type...

and a chicken won't know what to do. :whistle:

[SPman]

Sooo....you'll be with Feint, will ya?

Oh bugger! Another cockup! Getting god at that lately!
Sorry Ming (got that wrong too?)...should have been Felix.

[750Y]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ i'm with that guy! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :rofl: :banana:

Hey knock it off You 2 or i'll.. ...i'll ...um..
actually I'll probably be sitting near the back keeping an eye on some of the newer riders, unless of course you two get too cheeky then i'll be forced to sick the 'wolf' on yas... dam, it'll be like a spoon in a bowl of fruit salad(banana/passionfruit & mango respectively)...8-)

[justsomeguy]

Genius? Tired maybe.

Ah going for the mum jokes again huh?? I though WINJA had copyrighted them all.......

Pretty poor originality there for a genius.

I hope I have back brakes by then and working indicators..... wouldn't like to miss the ride. You coming on your bucket-o-bits??

[NhuanH]

Ah going for the mum jokes again huh?? I though WINJA had copyrighted them all.......


Damn straight, he best step correct and leave yo momma out of this. Everyone knows she's my biatch :devil2:

Me and WINJA do have a standing gentlemen's agreement and take turns. We only let Mr $kid come play with one of the aunties.

Wowowowo - what's this?? WINJA is a nut - and Skid/Paparazzi is an equally foolish crazy bastard - but I thought quite highly of you NhuanH.....

Pity you guys all came from bad families------ so you gotta look elsewhere....:no:

what mis-information provided you with this conclusion JSG? :weird: This interpretation of your environment is remarkably similar to the time you provided navigational instruction to a group of riders.

Having bit of assumed knowledge is like a half eaten pie. You can still taste it, but you don't know what the cat has done to before you got there.

OK sorry for being so ignorant and thinking so highly of you - I shall now regard you as a total....:whistle:

And by the way I did not provide navigational instruction to anyone - I simply got lost and the others who were looking at my tailights instead of the road followed me like lambs.

Big thanks to Mad Guitarist for returning and showing us the way:niceone:

Hey aff-man you blind dickhead - did you read the fine print under my post......and the actual text


Thanks for nothing for the bad rep idiot.
JSG, you appear to operate in a realm of juxtaposition [mebbe this could be your next handle??]. You castigated poor aff-man for missing your attempt at a piss take, yet you are ready to dish it out without the blink of an eye?

By your principles demonstrated then, should I also unleash a potty mouthed session of Tourette's Syndrome???!!? A mindless tirade without any considered thought? Hmmm. Stopped to think about it. No, I don't think I will, because following your lead, I'd just have to rescind those negative sentiments a couple of posts down. Oh, and because I'm a grown up.

Your nomination for Compost flame warrior "just" seems wholly appropriate now...

Well, that’s the first time I’ve been labelled a hypocrite. The post for which I was "bad repped" was a piss take and actually had the sentence, "P.S: For all the idiots who take this seriously - this is a piss take. SpeedMedic is one of the nicest guys."
Hence when Jonno by mistake took things pretty seriously no doubt due to him being tired after a long day I leapt at the chance to call him an idiot. He is the first ever KiwiBiker I met and he has helped me a lot when I was buying my bike and with my learners test, etc. So I know him and his background quite well and know how far I may go when innocently jousting with him. I'm slightly surprised seeing you act as his advocate when he needs no standing in for.

I know Rhys too pretty well and have met him on several rides and think he’s a pretty swell chap as well, I feel he has a great sense of humour and a stand up comedian type attitude to life.

Winja I have not yet met but he and I have quite a few funny little harmless exchanges on the forum where we try to try and make each other look more foolish by picking every thing under the sun to tease each other about.

Felix and I share a love for similar aspects of automotive culture, which has resulted in many an interesting conversation, which inturn helped me get to know him a lot better personally and I must say he and I have always been on the best of terms. Inaddition he has offered me a lot of advice on several rides, which has greatly improved my riding and helped me.

Now maybe it’s acceptable in your personal environment but from back where I come from it is VERY disrespectful when a stranger insults your mother.

Compared to the others you are a complete stranger to me.

I was quite surprised when Rhys responded to my comment calling him a four eyed genius with the statement: "I needed all four to satisfy your mum. She's a thirsty wee lass." Whatever that means it didn’t seem too offensive, "typical Mr Skid, " I chuckled to myself. My initial comment to Rhys was in response to one of his characteristic wisecracks. No hard feelings yet. But then I noticed that he changed his "bike title" to JSG’s mum…. that raised my ire slightly but he has now changed it back.

You first responded to a comment I made poking fun at Felix and portrayed yourself as some sort of authority figure, your language was filled with a lot of connotations from the Star Wars movies; not too surprising and actually quite witty given that the latest Star Wars movie is currently in theatres.

However you next post:

Damn straight, he best step correct and leave yo momma out of this. Everyone knows she's my biatch

Me and WINJA do have a standing gentlemen's agreement and take turns. We only let Mr $kid come play with one of the aunties.

Did make me feel rather indignant. I tend to get a bit sensitive when someone calls my mum their "biatch" and says that they have a standing gentlemens agreement "taking turns". Especially when that person is A STRANGER who I’ve had next to no connection with on KB.

I’ve read quite a lot of posts on KB and cannot really remember any that matches yours for its combination of degenerate delinquency.

Piss take or not - would you have said this to my face?? Well you practically said it before 2000 people. Sure WINJA has his moments but his posts are always laden with innuendoes and conjectures and never as blatantly demeaning as your outburst.

Next you call me a mindless, foul-mouthed, helpless-hypocrite suffering from a compulsive tendency to unleash a series of rank rants at every available opportunity. I fail to discern how you came to such a perspicacious conclusion.

You also mentioned that "unlike me" you think before you act, yet unless I am mistaken it was you who chose to juxtapose yourself into an online conversation that did not concern you with a rather "potty mouthed" intrusion.

So now I wonder who is the charlatan [mebbe this could be your next handle??] releasing mounds of compost.

I would like to request you to please refrain from including any members of my family in any rejoinder that you deliver. You may however include me in any tirade with as much vehemency as you desire, as a matter of fact - go for it.

[justsomeguy]

Four minutes...... nooooo

How could you believe that I saw you with a bomb that could go off if the newbies dropped their speed below a certain limit and a firearm that you discharged at police cars........

Hehehehe........

To all KB'ers in general:

All water under the bridge for me -

Tease me all you like, I'll take it; just leave my mum out of it.

:oi-grr: Hey guys keep it the thread in line with the subject is would ya !!
Aiight, nuff red sed in dis thred. Mesa gonna listen to Uncle Quasi’s advice ‘cos he’s big, bald and evil. And he has an evil green bike.

I shan’t continue on this subject beyond this post and be vilified for simply being the last man in with an already worn in “yo momma” gag. Well enough post-whoring has already been done, by my meager standards :banana:

JSG, you sweating it too much fella. Look around, this is an InterWeb forum. My tender typing fingers and eyes are surprised that I have provided the worst example of “degenerate delinquency” (nice wordsmithing by the way :niceone: ) in this thread, let alone throughout all posts in KB land. Like my cousin Wong from Hong Kong sez: “rerax”. Dunno, it might help going to bed earlier? And big, long RSI inducing posts like your eloquent response might wear you out for riding.

At least some KB readers have had some entertainment, eh Kawagreen?

BTW, who is this Charlotte, and wouldn’t she want her own handle?!!?

[Segues back to thread topic:]
Dang, hope this ferocious weather system passes over before Sunday :cold:

[justsomeguy]

Yeah sure mate.......

Hope the weather is better awesome riding roads those......

Good to see it's all in the past. by the way no one called you Charlotte...... too much reading got you dyslexic??....save your energy and brain cells to concentrate on ....hehehehehehe......:nono: ......:Offtopic:

See you around and keep it shiny side up.....

I will be there if the forecast is fine aint too keen on riding in the wet with no back brakes...... and it's also the day my car club has it's monthly drive --- :Punk: so rain or shine I should be out on the road somewhere......

Ah SH25 pure magic those parts......:love:

If this ride goes ahead then I'll be at Clevedon by 10am. Death indicated earlier they should be flying past between 10-10.15

Death indicated earlier they should be flying past between 10-10.15Flying? I don't think the pace is going to be that fast...is it? :shit: jk

You can go flying on the bridge just leaving clevedon heading towards maraetai, gave me a hell of a fright the first time.

Right,ya bunch of woosies,I've got kalt61 and tink here all the way from whangarei in this shitty weather we've had today,so you lot better show up tomorrow.....
We''ll do a pickup at clevedon...

So what are the predictions for the weather and is there a pickup in Clevedon?Looks to me like there's enough pink up that way for all you boys to get picked up.

[loosebruce]

Well i just got home from work, now it's off to the garage to resurect (sp) the ZXR as the TL's got an electrical fault somewhere and aint going anywhere in a hurry, i'll be there rain or shine provide the wee 2 fiddy starts and holds together. Unlikely, but i'll give it damn good go.

Hope to see you chaps tomorrow.

[loosebruce]

Well the ZXR is back together in one peice, but i can't get the thing started, it will start only the ground is too wet to get a push start by myself (plus i aint all that fit anymore), by the time the wheel gets grip it hasn't got enough momentum to keep it turing over, if my flatmate gets home soon it'll be a peice of piss, but he aint home to 3am, have to see in the morning i guess.

[loosebruce]

Alright, big ups to Mr Skid, who saw my post and rocked round to my pad at 3am to give me a push start :niceone: cheers Rhys, i owe ya one.
So i should be there, now to try and get some decemt sleep before the morning, getting to sleep wont be an issue, after pushing the TL for 20mins today then working my arse off for the whole day and pushing a shitbox ZXR up and down the street half the night, i'm pretty poked..........

[Mr Skid]

Last I saw of Bruce was him heading off towards the motorway on a dodgy lookin' ZXR after we sucessfully bump started it on our last attempt.

LB's departing words to me were "I don't think I can flip this like the TL" :wacko:

Well the ZXR is back together in one peice, but i can't get the thing started, it will start only the ground is too wet to get a push start by myself (plus i aint all that fit anymore), by the time the wheel gets grip it hasn't got enough momentum to keep it turing over, if my flatmate gets home soon it'll be a peice of piss, but he aint home to 3am, have to see in the morning i guess.

ya girls blouse, my bike died outside the shops last night in the rain in front of a group of people, only thing to do was to jump off and push start it, whacked my head on the mirror though jumping up on to it!

Anyways looks fine enough outthis way, one annoying cloud in the way but sheĺl be right

[Teflon]

Just did some quick maintenance and ready to go. Steering head bearings are poked, but should be alright.

[joflo]

teflon, i would like to come along from hamilton, what time and where?? joflo 0210439058

[XTC]

Last I saw of Bruce was him heading off towards the motorway on a dodgy lookin' ZXR after we sucessfully bump started it on our last attempt.

LB's departing words to me were "I don't think I can flip this like the TL" :wacko:
They always start on the last attempt..... :killingme

[Ixion]

They always start on the last attempt..... :killingme

Not for me. the last attempt is the one where the engine fires, splutters and dies despite my frantic blipping. Whereupon the bike promptly falls over in a heap with me trapped underneath it.

After that I stop trying and go and fix the bastidge properly

[enigma51]

Thanks for ride death inc it was good

Well CBR1000 John came along, so there was many wheelies and stoppies.... and ofcourse death did heaps of wheelies...

[Teflon]

Excellent ride, a part from my coil issue. Cheers to the people who stopped and offered help, and thanks Bruce for your mechanical assistance.

[2_SL0]

I had a nice pleasant cruise at the back of the pack. Apart from being stuck behind a police car for a while. :no: :yes:

[oldfart]

Cheers for organising the ride Death_Inc. Nice pleasant cruise in the country side

[Zed]

[loosebruce]

What a day, what a ride. No one else seems to have put a ride report so here's mine:

I went to bed at about 4am after putting the finishing touches on the ZXR250, finishing touches you say, yeah well anyway. Got up again at 9am, (not a morning person at all) Got me shit together knew i wasn't going to make AB by 10am, so missed the first group leaving there, thinking i'd have heaps of time to make up i stuck to SH2 then off to the coromandel with my bum up and head buried behind the fairing, hang on i had no fairings, anyhow by the miracle of not seeing any police en route i got to kopu by 11am, only to find the Hammy posse and a group from Morrinsville. No auckland crew, after waiting 15mins we all figured someone had chucked it down the road already, but no, they all turned up just after 11.30am, feuled up we all took off towards coromandel township, i started at the back and was slowly working my way up the convoy along the waterfront, and got clear road for the first hill, right time to see what this little sucker can do...

Not a hell of lot it seemed, the brakes were non exsistent, she weren't no TL for sure in the power stakes but it was a hell of alot of fun to ride, i caught upto sAsLEX and then a few others going into coromandel.
The climb up the hill saw me and twosmoker ring the shit out of our bikes in a vain attempt to catch John, (we can dream can't we) I make my apology now to anyone i duffed up going along that strecth of road some of my passing moves were a little keen......... so yeah sorry to anyone who might have an issue with that. Once we got off the hill me and chris basiclly had the throttle pinned all the way to whitianga, with no fairing i was stuck at 150kph on the flat, although i saw 170kph on a downhill, wayhey........
Lunch at whitianaga, blah blah.
750Y kindly lent me his GSXR1000K3 for a blat, and i took that all the wya to Kopu, holy fucken shit, those bikes can get along alright. I wont go into details but those who saw me knew i wasn't dicking around, it's one fast peice of kit thats for sure.
750Y gladdy gave me my beast of a ZXR back noticing there was one bolt holding the muffler on and the hanger had come loose earlier, arrr she'll be right mate, and i tottled off home, well to work. Halfway through Miranda and the ZXR picked up about 100 decibels as the muffler bounced down the road, dooohhh, running back to pick it up, chcuked it on my lap and then hightailed it to 750Y's place hoping, praying no cops saw me cause i wasn't exactly discret (not to mention the no WOF or Reg, ooppps). Made it with Dave not far behind, unable to fix the bike he lent me the Gixxer again to get to work.
Work was fricken busy and i was sore as #$%^ from being squished up on a 250 most of the day, i now am in the most pain i have ever been in and i can't walk very well.
But it was all worth it indeed, fantastic day, fantastic ride, and fantastic people to ride with, meet heaps of new faces and was great to get out on a KB ride after 5 months out of it.

Hope to see you all soon again.

Well first point you flew past me not caught up, must of been the fastest you saw on that thing all day, cause you sure didn want to break at the bottom of the hill!

The stoppies coming in to whagamata probaly didnt help the muffler much! how was the flatspot in the rear from your Mr Skid style backing it down a straight piece of road?

And lastly thats all the pies you've had over the past five months doing that to you




ZED, best bit of the day was coming down the hill eastern side of Coromandel, was all on my own and John caught up to me so I waved him through then tried to follow him through some of the tight 25/15 type stuff and managed to keep him relatively in sight, with him only pulling away when we came up on some "backmarkers" and my passing opurtunity was ruined by two nutters who shall remain unamed on a 250 and a 150!!


All in all a good day, seems no one had a camera, first time out after ages off the bike, well faster stuff so was good to get back in to it, was tired on the way home so held up some poor guy on a CBR600 forget your name, but we ended up having to ask a couple of lady cops( who had gotten a flattie and were waiting for someone to come fix it) directions once we came out of the gorge in papakura!

oh and here is a google pic http://www.artmagic.co.nz/Coromandel/Road%20to%20Coromandel.jpg

[NhuanH]

thanks again Death for getting our arses out there on the roads :niceone: Hope our KBers from up norf enjoyed it. The fella on the silver Gixxer sure looked like he was enjoying himself!

Awesome wheelies too Death. First time I've seen them with me own eyes, although I was only ever close enough once to see a nice one at Miranda :whistle:

Was a great :ride: , with a decent dollop of :sunny: served up. Especially for June. Now then, who's gonna claim to have the special (and successful) relationship with the rain god: Quasi or TS?!?!? And farkin 'ell - there was a lotta bikes! Someone get a pictorial account up soon please!

My apologies to whoever I was talking to and appeared vague or distant (erm, even more than usual...). I've had tinnitus in the right ear since Saturday and couldn't hear you. Only a fierce high pitched tone :(
Particularly to 750Y. Sorry Dave, I was meaning to chat more, but just couldn't hear shite. And I wanted to ride with you guys, but just couldn't keep up with you and Kawagreen - you were obviously keeping your finger off the reverse turbo trigger :rofl:

Bike of the day has to be Torque's K5 Thou :love:

Funny guy of the day: the Bruce of Loose. He must have run the equivalent of a marathon alongside the ZXR, trying to get it started :rofl: And I'm not even counting getting it going from westyville during the night!

My aim after this ride is to not squidify my bike further. No, it is to have it as spiffingly shiny as Kawagreen's! We both agreed that is why he rides at the back - he's stopping with his polishing cloth every 5 minutes! But I gonna stick to using my tyre pressure gauge fella :nya:

See y'all out there :2thumbsup

[NinjaBoy]

so held up some poor guy on a CBR600 forget your name, but we ended up having to ask a couple of lady cops( who had gotten a flattie and were waiting for someone to come fix it) directions once we came out of the gorge in papakura!


Silly me thinking everyone knows Hunuia rd except for me :niceone: Anyway it all turned out OK and we were on the right end of a conversation with the cops.

All in all a good day and the weather held out. Made the right choice putting on the leathers rather than the Cordura, but got to watch this rain that makes them shrink.

Seeya all on the next ride

[2_SL0]

I had to keep stopping and cleaning the bike, its got to look good for all the tourists when they take a photo of the cleanest 636 they have ever seen. I had a terrrible job coming into Kopu on the return trip dodging all the rain drops.
Soz anyone who got stuck behind me, I dont like that bit of road especially in the wet.

[750Y]

neat ride yesterday, man that was a marathon. I was amazed how much stopping there was but it was good for the tailenders like myself to get the chance to catch up. thanks all...

[sarg]

had a great ride Death, Cheers!! always good to put faces to KB names.

[NhuanH]

Silly me thinking everyone knows Hunuia rd except for me :niceone: Anyway it all turned out OK and we were on the right end of a conversation with the cops.
SpankMe and Nhuan (to NinjaBoy): "Yeh, we'll take the coastal road back to Auks eh?"
NinjaBoy: "hokay, we do dat thang"

Sheesh, that's two rides in a row where you've failed to make YOUR agreed rendezvous point :wait: And of all of the thousands of miles in this great land, it's happened in the same area. Once, now that's an innocent mistake, but twice...? You must be one of those guys that thinks learning/storing items in memory are for those soft amateur hacks with no sense of adventure huh?

If you're not careful you might end up being dubbed "Just Some Other Guy" with that level of navigational prowess.

AND you didn't help the nice :Police: with her tyre?!?!What kinda ignorant bastiges are ya? :nono:
"Yes, occifer, I's bin a baaaad boy. Punish me now!"

Alex, you had no hope of remembering his weird Asian brutha name - or his handle. You got the bike right of course, and how is anyone meant to remember that NinjaBoy rides a CBR?!?! :weird:

/looney rant over :whocares:

[DEATH_INC.]

Thanx all,it was great!
Thanx to whichever one of you sacrificed the virgin(or fembot)to the raingods to keep 'em happy :niceone:
Good turnout,23 of us at kaiawa,then the hamilton and morrinsville crew as well,with a huge variety of bikes from the k5 gixx to some cruisers.
Met up at the ab,good clean run to clevedon to pick up a few others,then on to kaiawa,a bit damp in places,going through some of the tree-covered windys had a bit of trouble with the rear stepping out everytime I tried to gas it up to pass someone....so eased off til it dried out a bit.
Had a re-group at kaiawa then on to kopu (not too many wheelies...had too many hp related scares down there...) met up with the others then headed clockwise round the loop,dried out after a short time so took off in persuit of TS and john,passed a few through the waterfront then finally got past TS over the hill,caught john who seemed to be cruising at the bottom,then a couple of wheelies later stopped at coromandel fire station for another regroup.
Then off to whitianga for lunch after starting off after half the group had another good run,pissed myself passing bruce on the mighty 250,lying flat doing about 20kph :Pokey: behind TS. Got to whitianga (never caught john.....)for lunch. Another flat out run trying to catch john and the boys who took off after me (I was up the road getting gas),never caught 'em though and stopped at the whangamata turnoff to see off those that were going that way.After a while waiting and seeing a Quasi and crew off I decided to head back to see where everyone was.....not too far back found MV and others trying to fix her bike,had a look and it looks like the rectifier had shit cooking the battery....bugger.One of the boys arranged to leave it at a farmers shed and Wonko gave her a lift home.
Good clean run back,just cruised back up 2 (it was starting to rain and we had to uplift the rugrat from one of bruces workers who'd kindly looked after her for the day)got home not too late.
A bloody good day,you all shoulda come.
Impressed with MV's riding,come a long way from last time I rode with you,and Saslex,again much improved on the 400.
Rider of the day had to be Bruce on the ZXR250 special POS edition,after putting it together at 3am still put on a good pace despite stuffed tyres and no brakes :niceone:

[MikeL]

Well it looks like I missed a great ride. Had good intentions (although I had decided I wouldn't do it if it the weather was too foul). Took the eldest son off to the Car Fair at 8:30 (poor lad has a very naive and totally misplaced confidence in his dad's ability to spot a lemon). By the time we'd finished it was too late to do the loop but I headed off to Kaiaua in the afternoon on the offchance of meeting up with you lot coming back. Surely, I reasoned, you would all come back that way? Well I met up with SpankMe and Nuanh and we headed back together. Bad sunstrike slowed me down through the twisties on the way to Kawakawa, a bit ironic considering the rain earlier. Otherwise enjoyable ride home. Considering the overall weather this weekend it was better than might have been expected, and you guys were very lucky to be able to do the loop in the dry.

[DingDong]

Coro ride pics, great day. I have to thank the heavens for the radiator stop leak I used from the servo at lunch, (dont know what its called but its in a clear lip-stick shaped container) it worked a treat and got me home after a stone went through my radiator. I'll have it back on the road tomorrow afternoon.
Thanx to Death for organising

[hondacmx450]

thanx 4 the ride i liked it it was good to have a ride with some good riders and some better riders and some well thay looked good on one wheel hehehe but no one did that did thay

[Coldkiwi]

cheers for a well organised ride Death. Couldn't believe how many bikes we had at Kopu by the time we left! (must've been 40 odd?) I guess the clear weather had everyone on two wheels gagging for a dry road.

Had a great time despite a now fully rooted rear tyre and damp roads. I NEARLY lost something else (two gloves and jacket lost on one infamous coro loop ride last year) up the coromandel coast but happened to turn around in time to see my bungee cords holding my pack on had come loose. Course, stopping to tie it back on put me behind the second bunch and couldn't quite get past the bloke on the silver gixxer to give chase to death, TS & co.

made the mistake of taking too long to get organised leaving coro town too so again got stuck behind the silver gixxer descending whangapoa hill (why do some people not look in their mirrors?.. I have an excuse - mines fallen off!) but decided chasing the boys down the straights wasn't worth it and had the second stage to whitianga to myself. managed to make it back to Auck by 4pm as intended and only had two brief showers to contend with so really felt quite lucky to stay so dry!

Nicko - I'll be in this week to grab that rear tyre I think!

[Wonko]

Bikes, bikes and more bikes. I have a few shots of them all, will upload when I get my computer set up at home. By my count there were 25+ from Auckland, 15+ from Hamilton, at least 2 from Tauranga, one from around Waitukaruru. So in total something in the regin of 50 riders.

Great day for it, first time around the Coromandel loop on the bike. Nice good ride to Kopu, and leasurly ride up the coast. Stoped at the firestation in Coromandel, and then it was blissful ridding up over the hill. Words fail, the best riding that I have done in a long time. I felt intune with the bike, anbd the road, and everything was just sitting sweet. Toes were scrapped on both sides, everything was sitting pretty. I remember distinctly a group of us passing a red SS Commadore ute, all of us, including the ute, past license loosing speed. :whistle:

Enned up taking mv-senna home as her bike decided that it had had enough for the day.

All in all, the best day out on two wheels in quite a while.

Thanks Death for the great view of your undercariage before Kopu in the mirror.

[aff-man]

glad you guys and gals had fun...... i woke up sunday morning looked outside then went straight to the corner huddled down and started rocking back and forth saying "why me oh why me" after a couple hours my legs started cramping......... :weird:

hopefully will be on the next one :niceone:

p.s. I will be doing the coro loop the first sunny day after i get my bike back :yes:

[Two Smoker]

I had a good ride, gave John the chase in the twisties, but was still hard to keep up with him wheelieing out of corners under power... He was kind enough to slow on the straights so i could have a good blast with him in the twisties...

Had one scary moment, was going down a steep hill, looked at the speedo (wont say what speed i was doing) look up, didnt see the bump, and had the hugest tank slapper ive ever had :crazy: came out of it alright albiet with a slightly sore shoulder... But other than that was all good...

Was going to go through Hunua with the rest of you, but the Rg has a mechanical problem of somesorts :doh: (i think 25000kms of being absolutely thrashed does that) and i just nursed her back home the quiet way...

Rider of the day goes to John, FARKING FAST, but very safe as well. He was also very polite to cars when passing... Good to see that :niceone: Other rider of the day goes to Loosebruce!!! Man you crack me up, had great fun with you going to Whitianga!!! Both of us sliding it into and around corners hehehe!!!

Wheelies of the day go to Death!!!

Stoppies of the day go to Bruce!!!

Everyone rode very well, and sorry if i didnt...

[Motoracer]

Awesome write up Bruce and Death!

Hehe, I'm sure you'll fill me in on anything you've left out here on Wednesday...

I wish I could have done it with you guys but I was out of town. I hope I can definetly come along for the next big KB ride.

Good effort everyone for keeping it on 2 wheels or atleast one wheel for some of you! :niceone:

[sAsLEX]

Stoppies of the day go to Bruce!!!
.

funniest was the one coming down the hill in to whitianga

[NinjaBoy]

Use the force Gah, use the force. Do not let the Sith Lord lead you to the path of darkness!

Yes Master Nhuan, I obviously must take care not to stray to the wrong side of the force. After I got to Kopu everyone started moving just after I finished refueling and didn't catch up as to which way home.



how is anyone meant to remember that NinjaBoy rides a CBR?!?! :weird:

Everyone knows you're after my handle... but I'm keeping it in the vain hope that one day I'll own another Ninja...

[NhuanH]

... but I'm keeping it in the vain hope that one day I'll own another Ninja...

:raghead: good on ya, we'll bring you back from that dark Honda chapter yet... :raghead:

Or you could gift me the handle :wait: - just kidding, why would I want a handle people could spell readily? I actually live for the abomination and variation of my name/handle :o

:Offtopic:

[SPman]

Good to see John made it right around this time..:devil2:
Had to content myself with a brisk little run back up from NP
Really enjoy the run from Urenui to Mahoenui when its dry. The Waikino gorge was good today......
I really must take more notice of the speed meter in heavy traffic, as well .....

My thought on the cheese cutter barriers on SH1 between Meremere and Rangiriri....cops coming the other way CANT do a U turn to follow you! :whistle:

when you change your name?? the gorge can be heaps of fun especially with boy racers to play with! turn at otrahonga then take river road from Ngarawahia north is a little bit better route north(come out at rangariri), more twisties less cops.

Oh yeah...been that way lately.
Only 3 cops on that road this arvo. Time before last had 5 cops between Te Kowhai and Huntly, FFS.
Tonite I didnt give a shit about cops, so the ones I saw ignored me - at 130k+...why was that????

[Crazy Steve]

Great ride that Loop yes indeed... :yes:
