I'll put in a dollar ...

[nathanwhite]

Alright photos are here. Unfortunately I don't have access to the same toolsets as before so they are lacking somewhat aesthetically.

EDIT: If you want to download a photo, pull up the one you want then click 'actions' then 'view all sizes.' There should be a download link on the page or you can right click and save image as. Give me a yell if you want a higher resolution.

Also no usage without attribution.

Deal. Jump on at Ahipara and off at Tepaki Stream? Bit of fresh water to wash any salt off, and a good hose down afterwards :msn-wink:

[LankyBastard]

Who said anything bout riding into the sea? That would just be plain silly. :bleh:

Yepper, been a long time that a person I meet for the first time says that to me for sure, for sure :o

Greetings all,

Cruised into Kaitaia today for the groceries and ..........

the Peria - Fairbairn section of gravel that most of you did twice on Saturday has now been completely graded over the last three days.

Great fun on a DRZ250 but wouldn't have been too much fun for those with less experience if we all had done it this afternoon.

The importance of timing.

I'm happy to join any one that wants a run up 90 Mile Beach on next years event.

Imagine doing it in the rain :eek:

It does not bear thinking about :lol:

[MarkW]

I rode home from Auckland yesterday afternoon - and hit solid rain from Waipu all the way home - ended up far wetter than I was on Saturday by the time I got home. Still 1,681km since leaving home on Friday morning.

And it was raining today as well - still is as I type this!

Rain actually binds a newly graded surface together pretty well - until you get to the point where there has been too much rain and you get slush - and on a DRZ slush is FUN!

Which is why I have more than one motorcle - and now I have two very dirty bikes to clean.

[newhere]

Now, ladies I am sure you would like to know this also ........ review pic ( IMG_0430_01_phatch one of doogles ) and tell me .......... is this fair no helmet hair???? :laugh::laugh::laugh::wait::wait::wait::wait::wait ::wait::wait:

Nothing on so why not?

Tomorrow is it?

[GravelRashKid]

Tomorrow (sat) could work. :woohoo: Coffee at Caltex Dairyflat 9:15am, depart 9:30am ?
I'm offline from now until Monday, so will run with this. :scooter: LMK by text any modification please - 0275 904 284.

[Maha]

Sweet as...will txt/post later...but leave time will be closer to 10am....its the fricken weekend! ;)

EDIT:....leave time 10am from the Caltex.

[nathanwhite]

Gonna have to pull outta this weekend unfortunately. Not going to have enough time for the ride as it turns out.

Enjoy yourselves now

[Glowerss]

You guys doing this ride tomorrow? I'd be keen if so.

[Maha]

Yip, still riding, lovely day out there, leaving Dairy Flat Caltex no later than 10am, or when ever we are assembled and ready.

[Glowerss]

Doh, shoulda gotten up early to check. That'll learn me to be lazy and sleep in on a Saturday :violin: Hope you guys had a nice ride!

[Maha]

Yip 300 Kms in absolute ideal riding conditions...Marsden roundabout had both front and rear tyres going left (away from me) at the same time....something on the road me thinks, the surface is sweet as.

[Maakz]

Aww Geez.. i was upn Ruakaka too to visit some peops who were doing the WRR. :first:Holed up at Bream Bay sports/campy ground digs. Missed yaz enroute damn, :oi-grr:headed back on Sunday with an escort who were gracious enough :baby:to babysit whilst my original chaperone buggered off with the boys! :rolleyes:Ah well,means i'll have to plan my own escapades away then, hehehe...:devil2: On an unrelated note, i have also come to the conclusion that some women who ride can throw down and ride like they were born to it, fantastic chikkyz-and other females who ride are just catty sour 'britches' who really think ur after their man, want their bike and their life...errr HELL NO!

This roundabout has a fine dusting of rubber from all the logging trucks apparently. I have been warned about it recently but have not experienced the drift.
You should have boosted this into a story about your epic heroics. Ie, I was doing 200kmh round the roundabout sliding both ends ...etc

[Maha]

The L's Angels Ride To Taupo II...is in the pipeline as an overnighter :yes:
Will be the same as last year but more ride control from ride organiser :shifty:
May look at a different way home, being the only change.

Feburary date TBC.
