Tauranga to Paeroa Street Races 19/2/06 [Archive]

DingDong

24th January 2006, 17:16

Working backwards so as not to scare you off with the start time...We'll be in Paeroa at 10:30am via Kopu - Waihi (breakfast at 9am)
This means we'll need to leave Tauranga at 8am.

Myself, Darrell and Allan are confirmed to meet at Bethlehem at 7:45am

We will travel at an almost legal pace so we dont have a reoccourance of Deno's day last year:Police: , but Im not your mother and you can do what you want.

The twisties between Waihi and Kopu are always fun, but the ride tends to get a little quick... remember a good day can turn ugly faster than the fastest bike.

Comming back we'll be heading to Matamata for another feed and home over the fun fulled Kaimai ranges, unless we change our minds.

If your heading our way your welcome to join up, smaller bikes are welcome too... we'll wait at all the turn-offs :ride:

Wont be joining you folks on the ride up after all. Oportunity has come to go to the races with my dad who is in Hamilton. So gonna go with him since me and him havn't done anything together for a few years now and I am desperately trying to get him back on a bike.

But may see y'all there.

Cajun

15th February 2006, 20:20

Sweet as Saul, i am lazy i like plug and play ones, still pretty cheap all in all, if i could get the factory plugs i would make them myselfs. but alais can't

but $35-$40 isn't to bad really to take it back to stock if need be(our bikes are under warrenty) so best to be able to remove stuff

Caught up with Weestromer but never saw any other vegas guys, met spankme, Deveant (sp?), aff-man but didnt catch up with Frosty cause Im too slow(thanks for taking our gear dude)
Heaps of KB shirts out there... nice to see... I need to get me one.

Thank you Oilboiler, Saul, Jessy, 2much, Darrell, Alzkapows,wybmaditie (sp?), Kelvin and friends and blackbird2 for a most enjoyable Sunday ride...

kiwifruit

19th February 2006, 19:47

had a great day,
started out with me bouncing out of bed at 6am
on the road at 6-30
made it to tauranga by 7-40
fairly sedate ride thru to wiahi for a much needed pie
got the learn from saul (theres no sprinkles :P 2up, w00t!), 2much, and darril after breakfast thru "the kopus"(?) YOU GUYS CAN RIDE!! :niceone:
at the end of the twistys b4 we went over the hill (not sure exactly where we were) recieved a stone in the glasses from a certain racetech rear on a certain resprayed gsxr1000, smashed them... could have been worse and it didnt ruin my day at all like i thought it would when it happened.
over the hill was back to a more sedate pace, managed to ride straight over a BIG bump in the road at around 80mph mid corner, big tank slapper.... kept the power on and came out of it sweet as. phew!
more semi sedate corner carving and tin top passing with blackbird2 (another sharp rider!) to the next stop where most enjoyed a beer, i thought i better not as i wouldnt have wanted to stop!
onwards to the street races
Thanks dingdong for putting it all together, had a blast!
nice to meet you all and look forward to doing it again
Regards, Allan.

ps more pics to come :)

Hey to the person on the Hyosung cruiser, did a older guy with mid-length greying hair ask you about your bike before the racing started? Cause I only saw one of those there and me and my dad were looking at it and he asked the rider what he thought of the bike.
