[Big Chim]

Hey all,

Looking to do the coro loop this saturday, 3rd june, despite the dubious weather forcast. If its absolute shit then i'll call it off.

leaving at 8.30am at the shell north end of te rapa straight, hamilton.

If there is anyone else interested from out of hamilton PM me and we can sort out a place to meet.

Chances for stops and lunch will be had along the way.

Will be doing the speed limit.

Let me know if your interested here.

Anything i have missed let me know and i'll update this post.

um.. I may have to give this one a miss.. unless someone wants to lend me a 250 :p considering my bike is slow as a ..170cc.. might get my bike serviced in Thames on Saturday afternoon if possible.. but other than that, I don't think I'll be doing the loop yet..

[texmo]

You can do it on your bike Zero. Coromandal is made up of hilly,windy roads.

Most corners are to be taken at under 100KPH and theres really not many straights.Only short ones.:scooter:

yeah, the loop itself isn't the problem.. the problem is the long drive there, and then the loop, then the drive back..

[TerminalAddict]

I've already promised to meet someone at the track day in puke

[HDTboy]

Good stuff. see you then.

Re the Loop. I recommend clockwise, as you stay away from the lane next to the cliff face on the west side of Coro which is often stew with rocks or water running off the hills.

Looks like it'll be sunny tomorrow ! :)

See you guys in kopu. you have my number

[Zapf]

aya... see u then

[Toast]

Hey guys, great ride :niceone:

No one binned, so big ups for that.

The weather was not bad. A bit wet in places, especially the Kopu-Hikuais in the morning.

Everyone rode pretty well I thought. Esepcially you guys on the 250's.

I was pretty happy with my riding, especially in the wet, where I was getting pretty decent feel for the tyres' grip, and being fairly smooth coming in to the gas.

It was fun riding with you especially MR. Nice stoppie at Kopu too, quite an entrance.

Hope to catch you guys out for a ride again some time :niceone:

[Big Chim]

Yeah i had heaps of fun look foward to doing it again. Good see some old faces again and meet a few new.

[Motoracer]

Cheers bro! That's what it's all about. Lookin good! :rockon:

Fuck, you'd be one of the quickest guys in KB no worries on the road. I really didn't expect that. Nicely done! :first:

And I really didn't expect HDTBoy and Texmo to go that well as well. That was my first time out riding with you guys and fuck. Mighty impressed is all that I can say.

Thanks for a fun day and then night guys, I really enjoyed that. :)

Also thanks for letting me borrow your knee sliders too RoadRash, really appreciate that too!

Highlights of the day, Following HDTboy through the coast and Toast for most of the ride and then pulling some wheelies which were the best ones I have done so far. Still a LONG LONG way to go but learning how to wheelie is fukin FUN!!! Highlights of the night... Hmmm pretty much the whole night really... I had a great time!:Punk:

[texmo]

The highlight of the day for me was passing motorace on the outside and seeing HDT go up a gravel drive way instead of left at about 120km/hr(the gravel was fist sized), then see him fly off the seat over a bump and watching vtec make a very nice recovery in stead of sailing over the cliff top.

You forgot to mention that you were getting your elbow down at the same time and checking out the sceanery as well!

[HDTboy]

That was one Awesome ride, Good to meet you Toast and Alexis. I quite enjoyed letting you follow me along the coast MR, you're not as slow as I thought. Surprise rider of the day was Toast, dude you're very quick on that bike.
Texmo, I do what I can to entertain the crowds, even to the point of destroying my fairings and getting my shoes dirty.
Vtec, twas good to ride with you on the road, and see what you're like.

I also enjoyed going around the outside of Motoracer (anyone else?), and trying to kill Texmo at Luce Bruces Pizza Parlour (Dolmio grin)

Shit yesterday was fun, I couldn't really afford it, but it was worth every cent.
Will arrange the next one based out of Vegas and make a weekend of it

[texmo]

Sounds like a plan would be keen to spend a weekend in Vegas, I was a bit dissapointed I didnt get to see your feerings explode but I got to see a lot of other cool stuff so I am happy.

THANKS MOTORACER FOR CLEANING UP THIS MORNING YOUR THE MAN!!!:first:

[HDTboy]

Bugjuice got to see my fairings explode, so it wasn't wasted.

Damn straight thatnks MR for cleaning the mess up this morning

[vtec]

Yeah, was good fun. Was frustrated about my bike's handling, as I had that shitty tyre on the back, and the rear suspension seems to be way too hard, and was chucking me all over the place. Had a couple of pretty freaking moments including nearly highsiding it after I leaned it over too far, and went over the edge of the crappy rear tyre profile. Some very quick riders there, and was cool to meet all the fellas. Hanging out with a couple of beers afterwards playing the PS2 was pretty sweet, while reflecting on the day. Most fun I've had since my last race meeting. Catch you round fellas... and to the non-racer's... get on the track.

[texmo]

Just been annoying SVS with racing questions and hes been really helpfull I have filled out my forms and will send them away tomoro I am entering in the street stock and clubmans (b) on the 17th at manfeild. So I will be out there giving you shit jason.

[Toast]

Cool Tex, you're not wasting any time aye ya!

I'm sure you'll have a blast, and do real well at the same time.

I forgot about the fairing explosion thing. That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard...wish I'd seen it.

[LXS]

good ride & pace, able to put some faces to names..
highlight of the day being the after match festivities.

cheers

[Motoracer]

I also enjoyed going around the outside of Motoracer (anyone else?)

I think just about everyone else must have done. Even n4cr, who was not even on the ride. But surely GT4 on PS2 must count as well eh?


THANKS MOTORACER FOR CLEANING UP THIS MORNING YOUR THE MAN!!!:first:

You are welcome... but what about thanking me for trying to save you from your near death expierence at Hell as well??

[texmo]

Saving me??? hitting me after I had finnished choking is not considered help my friend.

[HDTboy]

It helped me lauf
