I had such a good time on last saterday's ride that im gonna head up and do those sweet roads again!
i will be heading round clockwise me thinks,
will start from kopu at around 10am.
Anyone who wishes to tag along will be more than welcome.

Curious - the Coro-loop is around the Coromandel Pen? A one day trip?
Ta.

bugjuice

13th March 2006, 13:02

yup, one day or less.. depending on how quick you are ;)
last time, we set off at 9am from south Auckland, and most were back in auckland around 3.30/4.. a few of us (me included) turned back and did the best bits again, and got back to auckland at 5.30

Probably a couple of hours in total of stops.

KF, why don't you go anti clockwise, then go back again from Coromandle?
That what we did last weekend and just loved all the twisties..

I'll have to see nearer the time, if I can go. Bit broke at the mo!

kiwifruit

13th March 2006, 13:03

Yep, round the coromandel loop,
one day trip (its not all that far),
will stop for lunch (in coro prolly) and refreshments/smoke breaks quite often.
I also plan to sit on the side of the road at some point and take pics of any bikes that might be with me, was so pleased with trevs shots on the last ride, i thought id do the same for some others :)

13th March 2006, 13:10

it's just the east coast is peppered with 100/50/100/80/50/100k zones most of the way, and that's just boring. There's a few twisties as it goes from the coast up to the coro town, but there that and then some over the other side.. that's all.. just my 2¢

kiwifruit

13th March 2006, 13:16

ok, then we do the eastern side, from kopu thru to coro
lunch in coro then back again
:done:
now you better be coming mr bugjuice!

Kopu to Coro road is shite at present with lots of road works/resealed pieces 1/2 across road & lots of loose chip on road.
Better of to do what some of you did last weekend and go back over hill from Coro to Whitianga and those from the South go back through Whangamata the rest back over Kopu- Hikauai.
Just my opinion.....the ride from Coro to Kopu was shite because of the loose crap.

Waylander

13th March 2006, 17:30

Stay off of 25A. Don't know if it was there when y'all went through on saturday but today when I cam through there was a section that was nothing but gravel and fist sized rocks. Right in the midst of the twisties, like they had torn up the whole road section. Not pleaseant if you are on anything other than a off-road bike.

bugjuice

13th March 2006, 17:32

ah yeah, we did that.. just have to slow to 150 while passing that section. It's only a k or so, get over it.. ;)

Waylander

13th March 2006, 17:35

Nah mate this was much worse. Normally this stuff wouldn't worry me on my bike when going about 50Kmh but even that didn't feel very nice. My bike was wobbleing all over these rocks so your's would be... interesting.

kiwifruit

13th March 2006, 17:38

thanks Waylander,
thats the bit from coro down the west coast ya?
I think i will be going round the other way to coro then back the same way....

will you be attending per-chance? :)

Waylander

13th March 2006, 17:43

Nah this is the section that comes from the west coast across to Kopu.
Circled in green. Not sure what section it is or how far in cause wasn't paying much attention.

kiwifruit

13th March 2006, 17:47

hmm, u sure its that bit circled in green?
i cant remember any dodgy bits thru there...

Waylander

13th March 2006, 18:05

Must be something new then (and hopefully fixed by next saturday) since I can't remember it from saturday either. There was another section that just had some small loose gravel on it on saturday though maybe that is what y'all are talking about.

I did that section twice 2 days ago, and I'd do it again now.. it's really no biggie, just have to slow down and be careful. The rest of the road is well worth the 1k or so of metal

Hey Kiwifruit, that road turns into Fairy Springs Rd. and on Fairy Springs there's a BP Express across from a Challenge Servo. I'll be there at 7.15.

Sweet??

Ok, who from Auckland is going and if so I take it we are meeting at the Shell Service station at Clevedon at 8.30 am to depart at 8.45am.

Then we meet the rest of the bunch at Kopu Service station, do the Coro anti clockwise but head back the same way from Coro through Whitianga again, right??

Should be ok to make and might be able to get some more together as well.

yep
will be leaving kopu by 10:15ish
stop at coroglen tavern for a drink and a smoke
coro for lunch, prolly the same place as last saterday?
twas the first time id been up round there so i don't really know...
any suggestions appreciated :)
then back the way we came

after coroglen, i will head off 5min b4 everyone and set up camp on the side of the road somewhere to take pics, so look alive :spudwave:

16th March 2006, 20:14

Cool,

I am assuming that the roadworks between Kopu and Hikuia will now be sealed and loose gravel everywhere. Can't avoid that but heading up to Coro on the East side through Coroglen is anticlockwise and IMHO the better way to go, which is what you are doing :)

The West Coast from Coromandel to Thames has some nice twisities BUT has a lot of areas of new seal in patches which just happen to be in the best bits and right in your riding line. So best avoid that side of the Coro and just head back the same way through Coroglen after lunch at Coro.
That's the best part anyway aye? :)

The group from South can head back through Whangamata if you want while us Aucklanders can head back through Kopu

kiwifruit

16th March 2006, 20:23

Yes,

Aucklanders meet at Shell Service Station, Clevedon at 8.30am departing 8.45am to ensure early arrival at Kopu service station in order to meet the rest departing Kopu at 10.15am.

If you happen to miss the Clevedon rendevous, then make sure you are at Kopu service station at 10.00am or no later than 10.15 am.

You are going to miss some great roads by not coming through Clevedon.
The roads from Clevedon to Kauiau are nearly as good as the run from Whitianga to Coro :)

Never mind mate. Will see you at Kopu unless you change your mind???

Yeah, I know them. But I'll do the Miranda Rd instead this time.
Too much excitement isn't good for people my age.

Now the secret is, when you are feeling really sloshed and know you want to go on that ride tomorrow, you creep off to the loo and feed it some carrots and peas and then come back out and do it all over again. :blink:

Sorry, didn't really get to say hi to you Swanman.

Was a good ride, well at least the small part I got to take part in. A bit of wet weather didn't manage to dampen the ride.

Must admit I was abit concerned with the 750 that seemed to be stuck on my arse for alot of the trip back thru Whangamata.

Bruce, I hear you pretty much did the loop twice, doubling back all the time!:laugh: Sorry I didn't get to catch up with you. Next time.

Cheers to Saul for the company and keeping me on my toes. And a big thanks to Allan for organising the ride.

Special mention must be made of Olivia, who's riding is improving in leaps and bounds..... god help me if she ever finds the hiding place for the Gixxer keys.

But yeah thanks for the company when i was stopped:Pokey: maybe catch you's out and about, the GSXR is going into race trim, so i'm not sure how much road riding i'll do for the time being?

I wouldnt say Deaths 150kph pulling it up on the 750 effortless, man that thing sitting on the limiter in 3rd and tryiing to snap the clip ons off as he yanks it up, that man needs a 1000cc :shifty:

Nah mate, I was talking about the ability to do that on a thou, not death doing it.

Never meet Death or seen him in action, but fuck me! if he can do that at 150k's on a 750?? That's damn impressive, he'ld do some serious damage with a 1000.

That was a bloody good ride, good to meet some of you finally. Thanks to beyond for showing what naked bikes can do
No thanks to the tosser heading up the hill before Coro, stuffed up the first three corners and then got worse. (Me)
Luckily I got all the rest reasonably right, the shiny bits stayed upright.
I've got to get rid of these Macadams, a new set of Z6's is waiting to go on.
Finn and I went back through Thames, there was a bit of gravel around but it wasn't too bad.

Was good catching up with you Lou.
I like your Bandit. It's a real nice looking machine.

Yep, some days ya riding can be spot on and for some reason turn to crap on a few corners. We all get that from time to time. But, I reckon you rode very well. We both know our bikes are no light weights either but they go real well when pushed considering.

I really have to work on my ground clearance issues. My side stand, front edge on the pavement foot, is half worn away along with the foot peg bolts. Some time I might get some 330mm Hagon rear schocks which jack things up a bit to get some more ground clearance.

I think you will like Metzler Z6's. They hang on real well. Not as good wear rates as the Michelin Pilot Roads but they should be good to you.

To right.... second corner after you passed me out of clevedon with bike cranked over and sparks flying was all I needed to stay a bit back (well that's my reason and i'm sticking to it)

My bike got lower today but then stuff started falling off:no: :stupid:

You were riding fine Lou. You were fast, smooth and safe... until we hit the motorway traffic and you turned into an angry monster. I get the feeling you don't like traffic very much. :msn-wink:

Not anger, just some traffic splitting skills I learnt at the Govt's expense.
Are cars the new chicanes?

What a good day!
Sitting here with a bourbon, Day Off !! :banana:
Yes was a bit of a tiring couple of days, arrived at work soaked, lucky I keep back up clothes at work!
Was my first time riding most of those roads and can see why it is so popular. Think I need to ride it a bit more to help improve my riding. ;)

Let me start with you KF, glad you organised the day, good effort for the early morning departure. Some great photos there, but I must say, where the hell do you hide that thing!!:mad: A few sneeky pics there 1 of which I owe you a :kick: for! Thats a shocker!:Pokey:

Was good to meet alot of people I havn't met before, was nice to have been chasing you all around and thanks for letting me tag along.

Good to see you LB thanks for the great stoppie displays, Awesome!!:clap:
Aff, what can I say :wari: Great to catch up! ( or should I say a bit more practise and I might be able to!) :yeah:

Was nice to have Saul and 2much catch up for a bit. Always a pleasure. :yes:

Cheers :wavey:

Yep, I'll most likely be up for it. I'll try to keep my Saturday arvo free so that I can actually join the KB crowd and not have to take off on my own again.

Sunday definatly better for me, day off, might be going to edgefest but ride round coro sounds like a good option. Not going to commit but would say it's almost a definate. :)

Probably won't get out before the stunt day...... do you know they want $170 just for a little old brake lever....Sheeeesh.

Go the wreckers...shouldn't be hard to find one for your model...failing that, aftermarket. Get from the US, or that Motostyle place in Mt. Eden seems pretty good, not much costlier than the US places on eBay.
