Coro tomoro (Sat 4th March)

[Toast]

Just got some proper tyres on my bike today, so anyone who wants to join up for a brisk ride around the Peninsula, you're welcome to join.

I'll probably be hitting Kopu but about 11am.

Post here if you wanna come, and we'll meet at Kopu Mobil. Otherwise, I'll just have to enjoy it all by myself :)

I'm actually visiting my olds up in Manly right now. Planning to leave here at about 9am, so guessing I'll get to Kopu at about 11am. I could meet at the Papakura Autobahn or some such if you like? Probably about 10.15am I'm guessing.

[Kornholio]

Alas I am stuck at home today too...have a good ride fellas :)

[Toast]

Man, Kornholio and Saul, you guys would be about the only ones not out there today...tonnes of bikes.

The Peninsula was fine as always. I felt quite awkward with my riding at first, but figured out what I was doing wrong towards the end (hanging on to the bars too much), and after that it all became a heap more comfortable.

Cheers Zed, it was a great day. Do it again some time :niceone:

[Kornholio]

Yeah cheers, have been watchin bikes go up and down Old TeAroha road all day:(

A plus is that Ive just finished about 3 hrs washing it so she nice and sparkly clean now....Now I just wanna get it dirty again :/

You too mate. Thanks for the offer of joining you for the ride back. I'd have liked to, but I had to take an overseas call of the sort that you don't miss at 5pm, and didn't want you guys to be rushing your fush n chups.

Glad you all had a good day. If the weather stays this good, probably be doing it next weekend too. So may catch you out and about then.

[boomer]

No worries and yeah I'm sure we'll catch up soon.

Down at the pub in Waihi we saw a bunch of Ducati riders out on a club ride.. italian appreciation riders club or something.. some absolutely stunning machines, mainly Ducks but a couple of Guzzis and a RSVR.

This in teh flesh is the Fuckin Dogs Bollox!! it was absoultely beautiful...

[Kornholio]

Heard of cows?? :banana:

[2much]

Heard of Kawasaki.....?

Ummm..... last time we rode together I believe it was kawasaki on the menu???:laugh:

[Scouse]

Ummm..... last time we rode together I believe it was kawasaki on the menu???:laugh:Your right but I have heard of a certain 94 ZZR1100 on a recent kawhia ride givin some more recent gixer's the learn can you posibly give us any more details....?

[2much]

Oh really? that's news to me too.

The only time I recall the ZZR being in front of me was when I stopped to wait for the missus at the back of the group. After speaking to her, I managed to catch and pass most of the others until I caught Quasi, and decided to sit behind him as I'd cooked my rear tyre by that stage and the road was pretty shit anyway, I think the only one's ahead of him where Korn and the ZZR.

So I think someone's been telling you fibs..... unless of course, giving a 10min head start counts as 'the learn'.

On a side note, gave a ZX10R and a ZX12R the learn up the kaimai's the other day, that was fun

[beyond]

AAAAWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

A Coro loop and I learn about it now. :( :( :(
:crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby:

[Zed]

Cheers Zed, it was a great day. Do it again some time :niceone:Do it again fer sure. The Loop was awesome to ride yesterday as usual, a few spots of roadworks here and there but only a minor inconvenience. Good meeting up with you Toast, i enjoyed swapping the lead with you throughout the ride, you rode the 929 well and were getting around those sharp twisties in good time for only owning the bike two weeks! Let me know when you intend on going down to the track and i'll try and join you!

Did the Loop anti-clockwise for the 1st time and I enjoyed it more going that direction, stopped at Whitianga for lunch, and ended up parting company at Kaiaua where we saw boomers ugly mug! Thanks for the company Toast. :2thumbsup

[Toast]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention Zed:

1) solid wheelies :niceone:

2) massive lean when you decided to pass me and give me the learn on the approach to Whitianga :niceone:

3) extremely glad you came along, not just for the company, but to be there to tell me that exhaust was about to snap off, and providing tools to remedy the situation. Cheers again :niceone:

I am always at a losss why everyone goes clockwise, good to see another anit convert!!

The hill coming in to coromandel is much better tackled anti clockwise!

Depends on what you're after...downhill corners can be challenging and fun too...uphill gives lotsa confidence.

[beyond]

Anticlockwise is the best :)
