View Full Version : Coro Loop Today

Evening, SportsFans.
I stayed with my sister in Whangapoua on the Coromandel Peninsula last night, and today after a lovely lunch in Whitianga, we made our way home via the Tairua-Thames road. I was really enjoying the beautiful weather, and the fantastic road, until I came around a blind corner in a series of bends at around 2pm, to see a group of bikers overtaking a couple of cars downhill. The lead one was right in my lane, heeled over, and headed straight for me. If it was not for my braking and swerving left, you Sir, you complete and utter fuckwit, would be DEAD.

It may be lucky that I was not on my VFR but in my new car; if by some chance, you happen to be reading this, Mr FW, yes, it was that black Passat R-Line wagon that you nearly collided with. Thank Mr Bosch for his excellent ABS brakes, and Herr VAG for his wonderfully engineered automobiles, and Signor Pirelli for his very sticky P7 Cinturatos.
My wife was not happy - she would've been devastated had you been splattered, and I would not have been happy had my few months old car been damaged either.

Yes, the Coro Loop is a fantastic ride/drive, but it is not a racetrack or playground, and the basic traffic rules still apply: KEEP LEFT, especially on blind corners. The law is clear: You should not overtake another vehicle where you do not have clear visibility throughout the whole manouevre.
Leave your testes in your wife's handbag, and your bravado on the dresser, or save it for the track.

Fuckin' cagers.
Well, the vifferbabe was rather freaked out because she was surprised I wasn't fucked by this errant motorbicyclist.
It wasn't the only piece of motorcycling overtaking fuckwittery I observed on the road, but it was the most near-death one. Had my car been a truck, the road toll would have been up by 1 at least (although his fuckwit mates were a few metres further back and popped back onto their side of the road in time).

wow so you had to move your little feet to push the brake pedal and you also had to turn the steering wheel! I feel sorry for you and I offer my apologies in the name of all the motorcycling community of the universe. We should work together to straighten all the roads so that you won't have to do that anymore.
I'm so sorry. sorry.

Yep it's always annoying when as a biker you're out in a car (or truck in my case) and you see leisure time riders playing on public roads...in a manner that would better suit a racetrack, and endangering the public. You're not the only one who gets grouchy over this kind of crap...:no:

The weird thing about my close encounter of the near-death kind was that usually when subjected to unpleasant surprises like that it's a great shock and I tend to freeze. I was actually completely calm, unlike my wife. Dunno if RacerDude was so calm and stain-free.

I know this is Kiwibiker, but I really have to say, my car rocks! :niceone: (I think my bike's sulking though; since I bought the PissHat, the VFR's feeling rather rough. Still goes as well as ever, just feels... not quite right, for the first time ever, in its 120,000-odd km life...
Still, here they are together, snuggling up like best buddies (like our doggies):

Well, actually... As a species we are social animals. Like many species of "higher" mammals, we gather together for a number of reasons that were programmed into us by our biology; together we can prosper more than we ever can apart. Citys are a natural extension (admittedly a rather overblown one) of that natural grouping behaviour. It is in fact those that choose to live in isolation that are "not normal". However, I'd be the last person to judge someone for that choice.

1- and you've got some kind of evidence that cities create/cause/breed/have anything to do with prosperity?! been to otara lately?
the last time i was in JAFA land i walked past three homeless begging, two guys asleep on the street and a group at a bus stop wanting to bum smokes off me. highly prosperous. all in the half an hour i spent walking across the bottom of town.

2- you clearly don't share the definition of "normal".

The thing with cities is that the minority things become more apparent. I'm not saying that cities are all positive, just that in a population of over a million a few people on the bones of their arse become more evident.

Normal: conforming to the standard or the common type
About 90% of the world's population live in cities. By the above definition this is normal.

Anyway, my point is not that cities are wonderful; they have their good and bad points just like any other living space. My point is that to judge an individual simply based on where they choose to live is a form of prejudice and only exposes your ignorance.

Thanks for that. It really makes me feel special.
Honestly though, this place (KB) is all about whining about other riders doing things on the road that don't look sensible and shit like that. The guy of course just wrote that post to show off his new cage and added in the story of the dickhead biker to win your interest. Every fucking day I'm out there with my bike (I don't do the coro loop on sundays though, too many dicks with german cars around) and every fucking day some cager does something completely stupid and selfish that could kill me. And one day they probably will.

I will admit that I wasn't there so don't know the exact details. However, if you're regularly not leaving enough room before a blind corner then you do us all a disservice. This is bad enough but to then belittle the car driver is beyond a joke. I enjoy a good blat as much as anyone but you need to grow up and stop using your bike as a groinal extension.

Look, Gianz, it's all very well being all grumpy and "feeling special that I don't belong to this kind of home made fun police bullshit", but no-one's forcing you to come here. And if this is a troll, it's rather inept. Either way, what do you hope to gain by it?

I said only that this particular biker was a fuckwit. What else would you call being on the wrong side of the road on a blind corner, when immediately afterwards there was a long straight?
Am I always "good and sensible"? No. Nor did I imply that all bikers are fuckwits, although I know how easy it is to make a mistake like this (it's a case of "been there, done that"). It's all too easy to let the speed creep up, the testosterone overide the caution, and things to turn pear-shaped. Also, I'm no angel, and if that makes me a hypocrite, it doesn't matter. If someone - anyone - reads this, thinks about it, and thinks twice before risking their life like this, then great.
Was I "waiting for something like this to happen"? No, of course not. I have no doubt that if I'd been less aware, or froze up like I have before in similar circumstances, or the biker had been going faster or whatever, that hitting him (whether he died or not), would have really fucked me up.
I posted on here, because either the biker is not a KBer (or is keeping quiet) and because my wife asked me too, because she was so shocked.

I'm happy to see that you're not going personal again (I probably write like a Neanderthal, but English is not my first language, nor the second or third).
I come here because it's supposed to be a motorcycling forum not a VW lover's forum. And I don't have nor want to gain anything. Is it so hard to understand that somebody has got different opinions? In this forum you get bad rep not for the way you express your opinions (personal abuses or stuff) but for the reasoning behind your opinions, that's why I'm proud of my red.

It mostly depends on who posts a thread such as this...most of the reply's in this thread are in response to your first post, rather than the thread topic, which in itself, shows that those who have read the first post, could not find enough provocation to respond to it.

It was only a matter of several years ago that a recently married father of one returning biker joined in on his very first kiwibiker group ride on the loop..he died in the same scenario as discribed in the first post.
Both his wife/family/those on the ride and the driver involve, will live with that for the rest of their lives. It doesn't always turn out favourably.

Vifferman -I can really relate to what you are saying.Back when I was Young and dumb (rather than old n stupid). There was no internet and cellphones were for Yuppies n builders.Even then the Coro loop was popular with bikers.My dad with his car with its 1970's brakes and steering was in EXACTLY your situation.He ended up driving over the top of a freind of mine who overcooked it the same way you describe.

Trouble is mon nothing has changed -The bikes are faster the roads margineally better and the cars steer/brake better -but people being people make stupid mistakes. All you can hope for is that THAT biker got one heck of a shock and might slow down long enough to stay alive awhile

it's only recently, like, within the last five years, that the balance has shifted from "more people live rural" to "more people live urban" and last i heard it was in the order of 80%, not 90%.

standard or common? again, it's certainly not a standard of living i'd want, i don't even think it is standard,
and as for common, well, common (legally) means universal, so, means everyone. as not everyone lives in a city, it is not common.

there are certain types of people who pursue certain types of lifestyle. those who choose to live in auckland, for whatever reason, are fucked in the head. there really isn't two ways about it. it isn't normal to sit in traffic for 3 hours a day, it isn't normal to have a 2m grass perimeter around your house that all you do is mow, it isn't normal to huff smog... it just isn't normal.

those who choose to live in auckland, for whatever reason, are fucked in the head.
Now, this is what I take issue with. Tarring individuals because of what you think of cities is discrimination, plain and simple.

Truth be told your views on cities aren't that different to mine. I just refuse to judge individuals based on nothing more than geography. That's like saying only ugly people live in ugly buildings.

The green font guy is just trolling as he has nothing better to do with his time.

Funny thing is I moved OUT of Auckland nearly 35 years ago, and now find myself back in the shitty city due to the "super City" merger. Cant bloody win really :lol:

Mind you, my rates actually went down with the merger, so a bit of a silver lining :first:

Mine is not an Auckland thing though, it is the whole "city" thing I cant cope with.

Now this fucker on a bike down the loop the other day...

Lucky he is still alive to recount his close shave with a fucken cager eh?

i'm not denying it's discrimination, it's the same as i'd discriminate against a brown kid who wanted to borrow my shoes. same as i wouldn't lend a meth addict my sister, same as i deem people in rav4s to be sub-human or old-woman. prejudice, alive and well, and i'll admit to mine.

my judgment is flexible, as always, there's an exception to prove the rule. i know at least four people in auckland and at least one of them isn't a dick...

there are certain types of people who pursue certain types of lifestyle. those who choose to live in auckland, for whatever reason, are fucked in the head. there really isn't two ways about it. it isn't normal to sit in traffic for 3 hours a day, it isn't normal to have a 2m grass perimeter around your house that all you do is mow, it isn't normal to huff smog... it just isn't normal.

I live in Auckland, i don't sit in traffic for 3 hours a day, and never have, and i work in the city, i don't have a 2m grass perimeter, i have plenty of grass for our dog to play on, a basketball area, a theatre room, a barbeque area...the beach is five minute’s walk away, there are hundreds of shops, entertainment places and sports within 15min drive, hundreds of restaurants..etc etc...so thanks for the generalisation....as i have always said to non Aucklanders who seem to spend all their waking hours thinking of reasons to hate....we don't spend any time at all thinking about you...

Thanks for that. It really makes me feel special.
Honestly though, this place (KB) is all about whining about other riders doing things on the road that don't look sensible and shit like that. The guy of course just wrote that post to show off his new cage and added in the story of the dickhead biker to win your interest. ......
Is this a biker or cager forum? Or a police forum?

You are entitled to your opinion, as are we. If yours is that members on here are only about complaining of dumbarse riders who jeopardise others' road safety and rights then you need to take a bigger look around. Your post above doesn't lend you much credibility despite your protestations of your survival skills on the road.


I'm happy to see that you're not going personal again (I probably write like a Neanderthal, but English is not my first language, nor the second or third).
I come here because it's supposed to be a motorcycling forum not a VW lover's forum. And I don't have nor want to gain anything. Is it so hard to understand that somebody has got different opinions? In this forum you get bad rep not for the way you express your opinions (personal abuses or stuff) but for the reasoning behind your opinions, that's why I'm proud of my red.

Given that English is not your first or second or third language I suggest you might like to take a little longer to get the feel of this site - if you are a dickhead then you will most certainly find others here to hang out with in cyberspace. If even our resident cocks don't want to associate with you then you are likely to find yourself with little support. Improve those colloquial language skills and the nuances of speech and writing here if you want to be understood. Communicating in a language that is not your specialty (and goodness knows there are enough here whose language skills are atrocious even though English is supposed to be their primary language) is a minefield which you are treading very clumsily.
Oh, you don't have to feel too special, your situation is not unique. Write like a tosspot and you will get responses accordingly. Many others could tell you that is so as they've been on the receiving end also.

Having done the Coro loop today, I can report back that the only person on the wrong side of the road was a plumber in his van, coming down the hill towards Coro township.
