28/05/06

Howdy

Weather is looking like its going to better than otherwise forecasted(not surprised) so how about a leisurely amble around the Coro loop(clockwise) and will be going via Whangamata and Waihi so if Aucklanders want to they can head off across Kopu/Hikuai and home that way if they want a shorter trip as will be a longish day

Meet y'all at Kopu at 10:30(start time negotiable in case of tauranga nana's wanting a bit of xtra kip :P )

All welcome and remember to ride at your own pace :yes:

[boomer]

Have fun buddy, i've got the kids in the morning so i wont be going no where till after lunch :scooter:

[Kornholio]

Dunno mate you guys are gonna have to sort that one out between yourselves ........

[Highlander]

Tuesday would be better.

[Matt Bleck]

ahh stink bro... would have been choice aye.... but I got ta look after the bloody kids.

once where warriors is on....

[Kornholio]

Have fun buddy, i've got the kids in the morning so i wont be going no where till after lunch :scooter:

If ya gonna be late why dont ya come over the Kopu/Hikuais and meet us at Coroglen...should be a boomer(lol) day tomorrow :blip:

[Waylander]

Don't have the fuel for a ride that long.

[Highlander]

BayRide won't let you take the R6 for that longer "Test" ?

When is the happy day?

[Waylander]

Only let me go 50 miles or so from the shop and they would let me have it for a full day if I asked. Nah I just can't afford to put gas in it to ride that far. Quik trip up the Kaimais a couple times or blat to Rotorua maybe but then would be a stretch to get to work.

Soon as I find a second job I bring it home.

[Highlander]

Get a second job and you'll need me to take the R6 for rides for you (just to keep the oil circulating of course).

[Waylander]

Haha no. You see I have the fortunate disadvantage of being young. I can go for a long time with very little sleep. Night rides are more fun anyway, less traffic.

[Highlander]

Being a shift worker with a family I can function surprisingly well on little or no sleep too.

[Kornholio]

Haha no. You see I have the fortunate disadvantage of being young. I can go for a long time with very little sleep. Night rides are more fun anyway, less traffic.

All this and you cant make it on a nice Sunday ride......:nya:

[Waylander]

Saving for a new bike means little money left over for rides my friend. Hence why I am getting another job.:blah:

I'll leave you to organizing your ride now.

[babyB]

gez korn cant ya wait till its :sunny:
then i could :banana: out on the road wiggle:moon: ta get a :ride:
but l:whistle: like i gonna :2guns: as ya:scooter: round :doobey:
:bye: :thud:

bugga 3 icons too many :-0

[2much]

Sorry guys, not gonna be there to slow ya's down on this one. Got pitbikes to thrash!

Have a good ride.

[kiwifruit]

Im gonna have a sleep in :)
Have fun & Take pictures :sunny:

[ZeroIndex]

Road Rash is organizing a smaller run around Hamilton area, which will be kinder to my wallet - AKA: I won't have to take it out of my pants to put any more gas in my bike :)

Hope you have a good run, and I hope there are no bins..

"What relationship is your son/daughter to you"... "Brother/Sister'?

[terbang]

Oh Bollocks missed another one..Bloody working..

[Goblin]

Coro turned it on once again:sunny: Leaving Vegas it was foggy and drizzly but it always rains in Vegas. Had my ball & chain on the back so it was a bit of a struggle for the rat to keep up. We both had a most excellent day so thanks for the great company guys....even the :sick: :spudwow: .
Cheers BB2 for the escort home. Was good to have you clearing the way for us. Got pissed on between Waihi & Katikati but fine the rest of the way. Geez those twisties after Whanga are as slippery as a wet slippery thing.:shit: 'tis a totally different ride in the wet.

[Kornholio]

Yup got pissed on between Waihi and Paeroa...leathers kept me dry tho...Spud just wanted it to all be over lol :sick: ...
Cheers everyone for turning up, nice riding and chinwagging with you guys

I think there might have 1 or 2 guys that were quite glad you had Alex on the back Kel or might have got a bit embarassing for them lol....anyone count how many times Spud spewed? hehehehe

Cyas next time :spudwave:

( i think korn was feeling abit lonely)
Korn is never lonely with his fish'n chip. Spud was the lonely one:sick: wonder if that'll teach him:drinknsin

Scracha, glad ya didn't nearly crash today. Once was enough eh? No good ending up in the field...or the paddock...or was it the pitch? Did you need the wet gear in the end?

That was this year's pant staining moment...I guess I was overdue one as Summer had been pretty incident free.

Fields are for farmers, pitches are for football (and rugby :-) players and ged only knows what a paddock is for. In any event, it was a nasty gravelly bit. Rear tyre is a nice bald square shape now. I'd like to blame the SOB's 80's suspension and shagged tyres but to be honest I think I lost the front end on the carp gravell ridden road surface and in trying to keep up with a certain blackbird hadn't left my usual (huge) margin for error. Did I mention (again) how much I miss my TDM.

Bizarrely, even though I took the wet gear I just managed to miss all the rain on Monday morning. The weather ged's must have been smiling on me.

Blackbirdy bike was fast on the straight bits, amazing on the brakes but a bus around the corners (rider must have had quite pumped up arms with all the braking and pushing it around them hairpins).
CBR600 was embarassingly fast for a SOB ridden 2's up.
Bumble bee bike was just......fast. Hope rider has good medical insurance.

Put-put that most impressed me was the stealthy red VTR. Just looked so effortless even when ridden by sickboy.

Pardon my French but what a fuckin nice day it was...good roads, good weather and good company.
