Hi guys :motu:

I am keen for a ride tomorrow and I am looking for someone to hook up with.

The chaps who I would normally go riding with, are going out on Sunday and that is not an option for me (fathers day).

So even if you are an aucky we could meet at the kopu Mobil or whatever.

There are heaps of rides we could do from just the Kopu loop, the corro loop or around whakatane way.

If you are keen just post and will see how we do :clap:

I've got to be in Rotorua at or before 11, So i'll be going the way that I've posted, and won't be going too slow (for a 250), not sure what time I'll be at kopu, maybe 8:45-9:00, I lose track of time on the bike

If you see a blue Blackbird at Kopu somewhere between 0900-0930, it will be me on the way to Coromandel. Couldn't miss such a fantastic weekend so I'm on the bike and my wife is in the car. hehe.

Mate you are going to be a bit early for me to catch you at the Kopu Mobil

Thanks though. Might see you going the other way. :chase:

Morning HD.

Yep It was me (gave a you a wave) and a mate. He was on a yellow VTR 1000s. Had a great day. Did not see one mr :sherlock: at all. Not that it would have mattered :rofl:

I heard your bike playing a merry tune, very nice.

I saw a couple, but I was doing a fairly sedate pace at the time.

Thanks, I go by the rule of "if it's not singing, it's not happy" there's 19'000rpm, it'd be a shame to let a few go to waste.

Will have to organise a few BoP based rides when I move down (next week)
