Its only about 2 hours to Gisborne, you'll be sweet bro, leave around 10am(?)

[munta]

yeah i was thinking leave around 10 that would get us back around 2- 2:30ish

[bones135]

I just want to do the ride, ill work in with everyone else.....long as i get a break & a coffee before we come back then all good

[munta]

now thinkin about maybe leaving around 9 - 9:30 with a quick stop half way. also anyone who comes is welcome to come to my place in awakeri after for a coffee or beer or somethng and and bit of a chat. let me know if this suits. cheers

[bones135]

Works for me, long as my bunks made im happy :lol:

[K-C]

9.30works for me, where to meet?

[munta]

was thinking about meeting out at awakeri gas station and heading out white pine ways and maybe coming back ohope way

[bones135]

Sweet as, sounds good to me.....how many more coming????
November 4th, 9.30 Awakeri gas station :2thumbsup

[Bassmatt]

Hoping to make it, can't say 100% this far out.

[trailblazer]

i will try make it but also cant comfirm just yet. I know on the saturday my young fella has a comp day at athletics but at this stage the sunday is free unless the boss decides she has plans for me.

[bones135]

Sounds cool, nice little group....just hope for a sunny day

[munta]

sweet just let me know later next week so we know how many to wait for etc.

[Banditbandit]

Its only about 2 hours to Gisborne, you'll be sweet bro, leave around 10am(?)

The road is good - I rode it a couple of weeks ago ... the slip area is fine - a short piece (hundred yards?) on the rough bit - no hassles ... but it's not two hours ...

[Banditbandit]

was thinking about meeting out at awakeri gas station and heading out white pine ways and maybe coming back ohope way

Oh ... as you were ... from there and that route it's probably 2 hours ...

[bones135]

Only ever driven it once in a van, looking forward to doing it on a bike

Up or down the gorge will be fucking fun on an R1 ... if it's your first time on a bike watch for cars coming the other way .... every time I've ridden the gorge section at least one car has come round a corner on the wrong side of the white line ... give yourself a little left in case you have to dodge ...

[bones135]

Cheers for the heads up, hoping for a fine day & as for me personally....not going to be racing anyone....just looking for a great fun ride with plenty of twisties.

[bones135]

Long range forecast seems a bit of a puzzle....one shows cloudy rain etc, another shows nothing but sunshine.....hoping for the latter :drool:

[bones135]

Still forecasting rain for Sunday & Monday......even if fine Sunday & rain Monday i will pass as im not riding all the way
back to Whiti in the rain, done it twice & it sux.
Maybe postpone till better weather forecast?? duno.

[K-C]

Same, not fun if is wet!

Would love to go on this ride with ya'll, alas the bike is at Bayride getting fixed up after someone decided to back into it. That was nearly 8 weeks ago, took friggin' forever to get the insurance sorted.

Anyways, should be ready next week, so I won't be able to make the ride on Sunday, but I would definately be keen to go out for some weekend rides with anyone (sports bikes) in the Whakatane region.

Bugger to read about the bike getting hit....nothing too severe i hope?

The beauty of insurance aye. Normally the way, the cosmetic shits always the dearest.

[trailblazer]

I would be keen for a ride on sunday if it aint raining. I will do the coast trip aswell if it goes ahead. If the forecast for this week is anything to go by it will change for the better.
