Will probably end up confiming what I already know that is the Coroglen Pub Burgers are the best

[Kornholio]

Oooh la la the full Coro circuit coolio... actually I think the Waikino pub makes burgers now and if they are anything like their pizzas we have a real competition on our hands... Whats up with these Saturday rides all of a sudden, Sunday is the best day for riding :D

[Mental Trousers]

Everyone is being considerate and leaving Sunday for you to go to church mate.

Well its my turn to miss out. Just checked my roster and I'm working..Bugger. Guess you wont be needing that extra size tube of roid cream after all Steve.. Mind you the way Fish looked the other day I suspect he might have had a bit of a pucker factor going that may need a bit of medical attention. :rofl: Better bring it along just in case he turns up..

Cool, I have been getting out to re-aquaint my self with riding and shit after quite a long lay off, I am happy with my pace but don't know whether I am a "nana" or capable of riding at a speed where I can be comfortable going places with groups of other riders.

On a 24 yr old bike

Maybe just a paranoid demented old basket.................potential "nana"

Where do people meet for this.........what time.....

[Scouse]

Autobhann on the southern motorway between papakura and dury at 09:00 its all at the top in the first post

[SwanTiger]

I'll hopefully have a suitable set of two wheels for this ride however I'll wait to see how things un-fold. I'm definitely looking forward to any excuse that see's me downing another of those fan-fucking-tastic burgers at the Coroglen Pub.

Mr ZRXER, are you actually going to show up for this one, hmmm?

What kind of ride did you anticpate this to be? Fast/Med/Slow?
I was going to coerce some newbies out and spend some one-on-one time with them.. Would that be ok?

Pretty bloody fast I reckon. Anyone got a radar detector on their bike? As long as there's plenty of pub/burger stops then there'll only be 5 minutes difference between the slow/fast.

Sounds like there will be some slower riders there though.

[DMNTD]

Anyone got a radar detector on their bike?

Yes...:yes: Weather pending I'll be there.

[texmo]

Yes...:yes: Weather pending I'll be there.

Same here yo...

[beyond]

Hopefully I can make it weather dependant. I don't mind the rain on the loop, done it a couple of times in the rain but it's cleaning up afterwards that gets up me snotter.

Anyways: WARNING: because of complaints from the locals and drivers on the loop, the area is apprently being heavily monitored with the brief to get speeding and dangerous bikers.

So, I don't think it will be as fast as most will like. I suspect there will be lasers and/or hawks on the shorter straights and the bits you can really open up on.

:( :(

They're coming to get us, you don't know where, you don't know when.
Full flak jackets, anti Tazer devices, laser jammers, blinders and radar detectors advised at all times.

Why not manage the situation and in built up areas ensure that the limits are adhered to, I mean the time blackyoshi had a lady ranting at him and everyone took off wheelying etc was hilarious but prob didnt help, I mean the fun bit are where the cops wont be so not much point ruining a good stomping ground by providing the cops easy quota filling material by blasting through 70 zones etc

Who knows might end up being the boy who cried wolf if all the cops see is behaving bikers each time they come out for locals complaints


procrastination from report writing is so easy!

[DMNTD]

When did Texmo give you the learn??
Don't know mate...short term memory can suck sometimes:innocent:


Guess we wont really find out till taupo track day will we?
For sure man...Never been on a race track and look forward to learning a bit from anyone that can ride better than me...IE a lot of people!!

[SuperDave]

i would come, but the Fixxer isant up to a coro loop..... :(
i want a new bike!!!

You're kidding! I wish I had taken my old FXR out along Coro, it would love those tight twisty stuff! If you're running some decent rubber on your FXR you should be able to hold a decent pace through the tight twisties!

I might come along to this one, see how my week works out.

[Zed]

And if that ride of yoshi's is the one i'm thinking of then that was a bit of a disaster in more ways than one!

[texmo]

For sure man...Never been on a race track and look forward to learning a bit from anyone that can ride better than me...IE a lot of people!!

Track is good seperates the squids from the real riders, any one can seem fast on the road. The only diffrence I find between the track and road is you do the same corners over and over, so if you have half a brain you can rember how you took it last time what works and what dont.
In saying that I have only been on the track 3 times.

[Nicksta]

this will not be a flat out high speed run and there is probably going to be quite a few 250's coming along so bring yer FXR along failing that I can offer you the pillion seat
oh, it would keep up with the 250's and be fun in the twisties for sure!!

You're kidding! I wish I had taken my old FXR out along Coro, it would love those tight twisty stuff! If you're running some decent rubber on your FXR you should be able to hold a decent pace through the tight twisties!
yeah, would be a lot of fun, but i dont have decent rubber... back is almost on indicators.... and the fxr is almost ready to be sold so i can get a bigger bike... so trying not to put many kms on her.....
i'd come for sure if i had another bike.... maybe like a ZXR250.....

[SuperDave]

The beauty of Coro is that the cops can't snap you on the good bits.
Just take it easy through the towns and the lower speed zones and the straights and save it for the twisties. Many of the tighter areas you'd be quite hard pressed to achieve license losing speeds or much over 20kph ontop of the open road limit.

Yep, easier said than done. There's even a few little wee shorty straights in some of those real twisty bits where, errrmmm, ahhh, nuff said. :)

BUT, I have always stuck to the limit through the 50 and 70k areas the last half a dozen times through. Korn can vouch for that as he has too. :)

Ok, I've registered, weather permitting. Smoking Joe may be along as well as a couple of my mates. Hope Coroglen has had a pre alert on 20 odd hungry bikers descending on their premises, to clean them out of buns, eggs, steak, bacon, lettuce, carrot, cheese, beetroot, pineapple.... drool, dribble, dribble... :)

[Ozzie]

But it's all ok now.

Picked up a screw in the rear tyre Thursday night, thought that was the end of my plans for my first coro loop ($320 for a new tyre), but no it wasn't.

Cycle Treads in Takapuna, open Sunday's, good move.

Got my wheel off on Saturday, wipped over the shore yesterday, patched up for $25 bucks, wheel's back on, a few test k's this week, all set for Saturday.

In regards the loop, how many k's approx?

Getting kinda close to the time of month where I have to give my X her share of my pay, so budgetting gets a bit of an art lesson.

Oh, and taking the point of the 20 or so bikers, can the first one there get a burger put aside for me? With all this talk of GP's and Track days, I'm certain to be last, and don't want to miss out on a feed.

[beyond]

The normal loop through Kopu-Hikuia, up to Coro and back to my place, Drury, through Ararimu, is around 450-460kms. The Saturday Burger run is going through Paeroa-Waihi-Whangamata and then the normal run. That will add about another 80ish K's.

Darn good run though. I think speeds are going to be well down on normal with the attention most good roads are getting lately. :(

[Ozzie]

Cheers for that, two > three tanks, a beer and a burger, can handle that!

[Scouse]

i'll come along and be 'bait' :sunny:So are you comin along Bloomer.....?

[Ozzie]

Yes, I know, too many questions, and it sounds like I'm trying to rush, but.....Do we have an ETA for Auckland on the return trip?

Been offered some tickets to go to the rugby, of course I have my priorities right, but want to let the guy know whether I'll go or not.

[_Gina_]

Have said I will come along (weather dependant, cause I'm a fair weather kinda gal ;) ) but will clarify by saying it will be either me or stify as we are a one road legal bike family at the moment....

So I have my fingers crossed for the coin toss.

be keen for a ride never done the loop:scooter: :scooter: cant wait:headbang:

[beyond]

Ok, just heard through the grapevine that the local constabulary are definitely targeting the Coro loop. Because our ride is in the forum with ETA's and ETD's they know where we will be and what times.

I have also heard that two bikers ended up walking home from the Coro Loop in the last couple of days. :(

So, the Coro GP as we know it, is over :(

I would suggest that if we all value our licences we are going to have to make sure they waste their day. Out with the training wheels, disconnest two spark plugs, shove a spud up the other exhaust if you have two and ride like a nana.

This will serve two good ends.
1. Saving copious amounts of gas in order to buy more burgers.
2. reducing the death toll to the local wildlife: birds, bumble bees, blow flies, midges and slow natives.

Sound boring? :( :( :(

I expect there will be a large group of us 2moro with a mixture of different styled riders present, especially if the sun is out in all it's glory, so reducing our speeds would be the wise option. :yes:

Speaking as a Coro resident, it's all you young out-of-towners on sprotsbikes who get us slow old tourers a bad name:nono:

How are ya Matt?:laugh:

[Zed]

...us slow old tourers...:laugh: haha i've ridden with you remember!

All is well with my soul tks Geoff, may catch you around lunchtime 2moro?

[Fishy]

I just heard that this happened on the stretch of road between Whitianga and Kuaotunu.

Keep your eyes peeled guys, the're out there.

[Blackbird]

I just heard that this happened on the stretch of road between Whitianga and Kuaotunu.

Keep your eyes peeled guys, the're out there.

There are HWP cars and a mufti operating out of Whitianga. I think the northern end of their territory ends around Kuaotunu. Unless some extras have been shipped in, the only Coro police vehicles are 2 utes, neither of which have radar. Mind you, you really wouldn't want to cross the local cop, John Morrissey. Great guy but an old fashioned copper - hard as nails. I've also seen HWP cars from Te Mata south to Thames in recent weeks so they definitely are raising their profile.

[beyond]

I just heard that this happened on the stretch of road between Whitianga and Kuaotunu.

That's exactly the area I thought they would be intent on targeting.
Good high speed sweepers with nice straights in between before you get to the twisties, if heading anti clockwise. That stretch is an ideal trap, but there are many others of course. A mufti? Bet it's an old beat up Bongo 4WD with a supercharged V8, packing a 50mm machine gun under the sump and manned with six armed defender squad in the back. :)

Not kidding, there was a Mazda Bongo working the Southern Motorway a while back.

[Scouse]

I will make sure we cover this off tomorow morning before we head out

[DingDong]

Getting a new tyre put on at 9:30am... leave Tauranga at 10am... get to Waihi at 10:40am, catch and pass Korn at 10:55am:rockon: ... catch and pass Fish at 11:05am:rockon: ... (I'll do it tonight in my dreams:dodge: ) well its a plan anyway... I'll be scrubbing the rubber tomorrow and will head that direction, If I see ya I see ya...

One things for sure, I cant eat more burgers than anyone living in TA

[scracha]

At a mate's in Whangamata this evening. If one of you chaps would be good enough to ring my mobily tomorrow when ya's get here. Sure there could be a beer for your trouble (don't all fucking ring me tho <g>).

Oh...moby no: 021 022 54495

Oh and the road between Waihi and Whanga is pretty #$cked, lots of potholes and tarmac missing on the apex's from the 4x4's and trucks, etc.

yeh right, catch me if you can piggy. Got my stash sorted and everything, gotta love knowing rich aucklanders with holiday properties.

[RM125king]

so where abouts do we meet at 9.00 am. the autobahn? where is that?

[Ozzie]

Southern Motorway, just South of Papakura, big BP servo and maca's and stuff, before Drury.

If you pass it, no 1 - you are blind, no 2 - either double back or wait at drury, think we're heading off there anyhow.

[RM125king]

sweet as thanks i will be there on the r6

[Kittyhawk]

Yes...:yes: Weather pending I'll be there.

You better be there, I might make it, but wont be in the leg warmers :nono: Took off the exhaust and now it sounds very sexy.

[Kittyhawk]

:innocent:
There will be plenty of bikes on this ride so the piggy to bike ratio is well down, I think if you go normal on the straights and leave the quicker stuff to the twistys then you'll be fine. (Tight twisties at 110kmh is cool).
Gonna be a fun day

What are the chances of getting caught with out my exhaust on??? :innocent: :innocent: I had to take it off as the bracket is stuffed from my crash..

[Richard Mc F]

i is quivering in anticipation...........mrs is on the piss tonite..........she better not be expectin any sympathy.........i will let the Duck idle past the bedroom rather than the usual heavy duty throttle blipping to warm up heheheheheh

[beyond]

so where abouts do we meet at 9.00 am. the autobahn? where is that?

Errmm,

ZRXER is heading out through Ararimu, so won't be getting off at Drury but at Ramarama which is the next exit after Drury.

But the Autobahn is easy to find. First exit after the Papakura turnoff before Drury.

[Scouse]

Well its not bright and sunny but its not raining either so its all go see yose at the Autobhann

[RM125king]

weather is perfect on the coro

[unhingedlizard]

Sorry, didnt go to this. only woke up at 10am. See y'all next time

[sAsLEX]

Sorry, didnt go to this. only woke up at 10am. See y'all next time

[Scouse]

What a good fuckin ride there boys and girls not to many rozzers no body got stung by the revenue gatheres sorry about that brake aplication at Ramarama speedie there was a oinker in a plain holden with a lazer thing but now I realise it would have been for the Traffic coming the other way anyway thank for coming along all of yose

lol, shut ya mouth you raving homo.

[R6_kid]

Well!!!! That was bloody awesome.

mynameis rocked up at my place at 8.10am and helped me oil my chain and gave me the hurry up so we could catch up with hurricane_r for the ride out to the Autobahn.

Ride started off good chilling out at around 110kmh through the first few roads after Aririmu. Started thinking the ride was gonna be gay with shitloads of straight roads... got to Paeroa and a few of us were thinking WTF are we doing? Got to Karangahake Gorge only for it to be clogged with cages. Then some more straights before getting to Waihi and discovering the road to Whangamata, that was fun, first time i've ever been over there.

Decided i'd wear my draggin' jeans to 'slow me down', well after that stretch of road i was kicking myself for not going with leathers as some of the corners were just asking for a bit more pace and a bit more lean (and maybe some accidental knee down).

Was also my first time doing the loop backwards at any decent pace on a bike. I'd done the bit from Kopu-Whitianga one time in the dark/wet on shit tyres so today was kind of like another virgin ride.

With my experience at Taupo fresh in my mind, confidence in my boots and heat in my tyres i picked up the pace and stuck with Boomer and Speedie for a bit, then somewhere along the line Kornholio and the other boys came past and took of with speedie. Boomer had sore nuts or something so was kinda off-pace but still going decently quick on that Honda (which he still cant wheelie any good :zzzz: )

Introduced hurricane_r and RM125king a fair pace heading up over the hill from Whitianga-Coromandel which really good fun as always, both RM125King and myself were well impressed with hurricane_r's ability to throw his little 250 around making sure he didnt get left behind, and making up for it in the corners when he did lose us on the straights.

By halfway down the coast we were a bit stuffed so pulled over for a rest, which turned out to be a popular place as everyone else decided to join us! Cruised the rest of the way down to Thames/Kopu at 110ish and generally just let the bike do its thing. Then we set off on the long and slow SH2 to head home.

Had a couple of hairy moments, like when i hit a 'rift' in the road when i was leant well over, a tad over the speed limit, which resulted in my bike being on a line 1.5ft to the left of where it was before.

Was sad to see a couple of people come to grief at different points, hope that dude on the ZXR gets it sorted ASAP, GSXR600 - take your time dude the 600's can bite ya as you found out today :shutup: , and to Beyond's mate on the R1 - wtf happened dude??? Your bike wasnt looking too happy but was good to see you were ok.

Cheers to all those that turned up, both for the good pace, the fun ride, and the shit talking at the stops! Thanks ZRXER for organising it. I had a chicken burger at Coroglen, apart from the wait it was quite good.

[Kornholio]

Lol see ya I told ya I wasnt Superman eh Boomer... pity it had to be right in front of you lol....heh try following those black marks ...Finally got to meet Chris(DMNTD) and a few other familiar faces... awesome as always Beyond and Zed and others....oh and becareful not to touch other peoples toys eh Zed :p

[Turtle]

A great day had (apart from my now aching back)....thanks for the organisation there ZRXER..do it again anytime.Was good to put some more faces to names and catch up with others.and the coro scallop burgers rok.

P.S. hope to see yr faces again next weekend at Okarierie.

[Kornholio]

, and to Beyond's mate on the R1 - wtf happened dude??? Your bike wasnt looking too happy but was good to see you were ok.



WTF!!!!...it was mint when i last seen it at Coroglen???

[Kornholio]

P.S. hope to see yr faces again next weekend at Okarierie.

Where the fuck is that you rickety old man? :D

[R6_kid]

WTF!!!!...it was mint when i last seen it at Coroglen???

thats because he dropped it after coroglen.... :shit: :shit: :shit:

was about halfway up 'the hill' maybe 2km back from the top lookout, on the way down the coast from Coromandel town.

[boomer]

i'll let you tell the story but i honestly thought you were putting on a show for me until.. well.. :gob:

Bling to you mate!!!

[Leong]

What an awesome ride!! Thanks for organising ZRXER. Good weather and apart from road works near Miranda and one patch of seal repairs somewhere between Tairua and Whitianga the roads were in great condition. Bit of a wait for the burgers at Coroglen, but well worth it IMO.

Great fun thru the twisties between Whitianga and Coromandel... absolutely loving the Gixxer. Got a good close up view of the road surface a few times and finally got rid of the beads of rubber on the edges of my front tire (leftover from it's time at Philip Island), but on the right side only.:innocent: After the SV I thought there would be less engine braking with the IL4, but I found myself using just second gear thru the twisties so there was plenty. Only one bit of drama on the way home near the top of the hill after Hotel Du Vin where the back end slipped out slightly on the slightly muddy surface, and even that wasn't a big deal. Good to meet a few more KBers!!

[Kornholio]

. Bit of a wait for the burgers at Coroglen, but well worth it IMO.



They said if we give em notice next time they will put more GIRLS!! on to cope with the *ahem*load :D

'twas funny, you'd taken the lead most of the run then decided to let me through.. there was not a CHANCE in hell i was gonna go front when i had Fish all over my ass :third:

[Richard Mc F]

Awsome day out, have not pushed the ducatasauras like that before ( only had it just over a month) or myself ( 10/12 year break) fuck the list gets bigger...rebuild front fork....sticky tyres...steering damper..........sigh...new rear shocks, one is puking oil out.

Or do i need one fuck off fast jappa toy again..........divorce looms.

Again great day, put a few "names" to faces but as creeping old age will do to ya I have C.R.A.F.T. symdrome ( can't remember a fucking thing) I will need to meet ya all again some time.

P.S was in the box seat for the bike that went into the ditch, beats the crap out of motor sport on tv

[jtzzr]

CHEERS Zxer, , Had a Fanfuckintastic day ,put some names to faces , Duckaddict on his 2fiddy (good going mate), Leong on his beast (god bless your radar), DMNTD/TL (might give you a hand to paint your pad in Opo ,when?) RichardMcF (yeah you ride like a real nana( I DON`T THINK SO)) and Big B (nice lines on the way home) and got to meet Blackbird at his little hideaway in Coromandel (thanks for everything Geoff) and Kittyhawk (you go girl ) yeah could you go put a muffler on your bike I might be deaf (just kidding I am deaf , NOW) , and Thanks to everyone else who I didn`t get to talk to , especially the guy on the r6 when the copper was coming at us at , just after Miranda,(our lucky day). CHEERS:rockon: Sorry almosy forgot FX Chief (If you need eftpos technology , talk to this man , nice talking with you Steve).

[Kornholio]

Dude that was some great riding on that ol duke, sounded awesome and got a lot of keen eyes peering over it!

Fuck yeah man he was going great :D

[Zed]

So much for 'The Great Coro Burger Fest', I ate a toasted sandwich!!

Twas an awesome ride today, I think we averaged around 25 bikes, good riders too. Loved those roads from Waihi thru to Whangamata which I followed Beyond on his GSX1400, mate you can ride that thing and you've got a great riding style around them corners too! :yes:

Coro Loop was in fairly good nick today, but about 20kms heading south from Coro town as i'm blasting up the hill toward the lookout I rode over an obscured bump in the road which threw me out of my seat and moved the whole bike kinda sideways about 2 foot, scared the living daylights out of me! Gixser was following and said it was quite a sight, pity your video camera wasn't working mate!! :shit:

Good to see a couple of Norfland boys make the effort to come down and join us, T.I.E and DMNTD. I'm glad you're happy with your new Aprilia TIE, a few more rides like today and you'll be well acquainted with it! Hope you got back to Whangarei safe n sound 2nite.

Was fun riding with y'all again, looking forward to next time. Couple of crappy phone pics attached.

[jtzzr]

Hey Zed was that you taking it easy just after the autobahn? Pulling the mono(nice)just wondering.:shit:

[Zed]

...oh and becareful not to touch other peoples toys eh Zed :pYes well....that was the first time ever that i've been publicly told off for touching someones bike! Here I was chatting away with 3 or 4 other bikers, completely surrounded by bikes in the Coroglen pub carpark, and all the while I was subconsciously opening and closing the petrol cap key flap on someones bike when the owner came up to me and in a rather dry serious tone said "go and play with someone else's bike!" :nono:

Well I won't do THAT again in a hurry lol!

[Zed]

Just got in. Zed, that lump is probably the one my mate G hit on the R1.
Couldn't be seen and he hit it on a tight left hander. Tossed him into a full on tank slapper which he couldn't get back under control. Threw him into the other lane and as luck would have it, a van comes around the corner. It wasn't looking pretty for a split second but G managed to wrestle it the left a bit to avoid a full head on, but hit the side of the van real hard, then went down and over the bank. :(

Sorry I didn't stop all, but had to get G back home. Just as well I did, he has a broken hand and a major Heamatoma on his leg and is in hospital.

Tomorrow I go back to a local farm to get his bike with his brother. It may be a writeoff.

G is a real good rider and I honestly never thought I would see the day he had an accident :(

Other than the two offs and the blown motor on the kawa, it was a great day.
Good to meet more people and a great run. Thanks Steve.

That is the same *bump* I believe Paul. When I rode over it my 1st thought was that it needs to be repaired. A couple of other riders had a small scare over it but you obviously have to hit it in a certain area to get the full brunt of it! Real sorry to hear your mate had a close call with death today, but glad he is still alive and in good care now. Please send him my/our best wishes.

[jtzzr]

Beyond, I hope all is well with your friend , you`re having a bad time of it aren`t you mate .

[Ozzie]

Geeze, the second off is news to me :gob: , really sorry to hear about it, please pass on my regards.

I did take a couple of little pix with my phone, they won't be great, but they did get all 33 bikes in. I will post them on Monday, didn't bring my lead home.

Had a great day, sorry i missed the full loop, maybe next time. Was great to meet a few more people, if i go on enough of these who knows, i might get to the point when i know everyone that went on it. I'm a bit shy you see, don't get around much to chit chat, a few new faces each ride.

Great day, 10 points for the organiser, hope to see you all again soon.

Yup that was me. Maniac and I lost you guys along the way somewhere, was with the repair crew, at the back of it leaving the servo, then Maniac had an oil issue, gave him a headstart and had a smoke, turns out shouldn't have bothered, Coroglen was only around the corner.

My Geography knowledge of NZ grows on a daily basis.

[Ozzie]

Where did you go Ozzie ? From where to where ,sorta lost everyone after Coromandel ,BigB and I went to see Blackbird.

I was in the last group to leave Coroglen, they left me in the dust. Thought everyone else was stopping at Whangamatta, so I didn't, thinking I would catch you up at Coromandal, stopped at a rest stop for a ciggy and a piss (damn beer). While I was there Maniac went past, caught him at Coromandal, we waited maybe 10 minutes, no one showed, so we legged it back to Kopu, and found the lot of you there.

So between the broken Kwaka, Maniacs oil, and redundant stops, didn't spend much time riding with the full group, but did enjoy it all the same. Was the first time over for me, thoroughly loved it.

Thanks Peeps for your well wishes to Gary (R1)

Just a quick update. I picked his bike up today form the locals where it was stored overnight. It's a bit of a mess but mainly cosmetic, with wrecked fairings both sides, headlamp missing and broken pegs etc The main part of the bike looks ok, frame and tank etc. It's a long drive in a van :(


As for Gary, he is in hospital waiting for surgery to pin the knuckle back to his hand on his little finger. His leg is badly swollen and the Heamatoma should settle on it's own in time and other than that, bad bruising.

In a way, he was lucky he bounced off the side of the van with his bike or else he would have gone straight over the bank, into a fence, down a steep bank and into trees.


Thanks again for the company and the ride folks. Leaving Coroglen to get home early for commitments went seriously awry for us, didn't it. :(
That is a real nasty bump on the corner which nearly caught a few out, by the sound of it.

Eerrrmmm, I have a problem, I cant get the feeler bolts out of my footpegs as they are all ground away. :( Might have to drill them now.

It was a good ride and again, a great bunch of guys and girls. :)

[beyond]

You rode that machine very well. Go man :)



Awsome day out, have not pushed the ducatasauras like that before ( only had it just over a month) or myself ( 10/12 year break) fuck the list gets bigger...rebuild front fork....sticky tyres...steering damper..........sigh...new rear shocks, one is puking oil out.

Or do i need one fuck off fast jappa toy again..........divorce looms.

Again great day, put a few "names" to faces but as creeping old age will do to ya I have C.R.A.F.T. symdrome ( can't remember a fucking thing) I will need to meet ya all again some time.

P.S was in the box seat for the bike that went into the ditch, beats the crap out of motor sport on tv

[Zed]

Eerrrmmm, I have a problem, I cant get the feeler bolts out of my footpegs as they are all ground away. :(Cheer up, the sparks looked great from behind! :niceone:

Poor Gary, I keep thinking of that horrible bump in the road and how it could have easily turned to custard for me! Did you get a chance to look at it closer today Paul?

[beyond]

Hiya Matt,

Yep, I had a closer look. It's a set of ripples caused by heavy traffic. Gary reckoned his front forks bottomed out on them and of course it's right on the apex of the cornering line, so when you are well over, it's really going to upset the apple cart.

From behind, it didn't look pretty. I thought for a second it was going to be a head on. It turned into an instant full on tank slapper which just fired him across the road. Incredible he managed to pull it left a bit before collecting the side of the van. The van had bull bars at the rear which caused a lot of damage to his bike and where most of his injuries occurred.

Not much fun watching a mate go down. It seems to be happening a lot over the last year with Fishlayer, then Jason a few weeks back with the cyclists and car in our lane.

Other than all the drama, was a good ride though and a good turn out. :)

Good catching up with ya. Need to do the kaiaua loop some time and catch up for lunch.

All in all, one very lucky person. If I had been i front at that point, it probably would have been me as we ride very similar lines.

[sAsLEX]

it probably would have been me as we ride very similar lines.

But the van would of been worse off due to the mighty 1400 hitting it!

Glad to hear your mate came out in one piece! And where abouts is this hazard exactly?

How was the van driver?

[scracha]

A nice afternoon out. Thanks for calling me out to action Zxrer, I'm due ya' a beer BTW. Ricardo...nice Ducati and the ride was much more enjoyable when I wasn't trying to get the viffer to boogie with the modern tackle.

New rear tyre scrubbed in nicely BTW.

[mynameis]

And of course all the other riders as well. Awesome day indeed. Lots of fun around the twisties. Was my first time around the area in a bike and I loved it :) Great fun and heaps of learning to do and practice around the corners.

Big ups to R6_Kid and Hurricane_R. You ride that 250 pretty damn well and hope to get out there more with ya mate. Pitty I was sore azz after hours of riding on my ZXR 250. Yes I am way to big for that fella.

Had to take pain killers when I got back home and was deaf for the next few hours as well haha.. :) Bike got a good thrashing as well. Added some more oil today, lube the chain, and tyre pressure as well. Bikes good now :D

CHEERS Zxer, , Had a Fanfuckintastic day ,put some names to faces ,Big B (nice lines on the way home) and got to meet Blackbird at his little hideaway in Coromandel (thanks for everything Geoff) .

Had a great day out, but have to say that the bird makes you work in the tight and twisty stuff. Good to meet you John (I didn't think my lines were that good as I couldn't get into a rhythem) and to finally meet Geoff (Blackbird).

cheers

Brian

[jtzzr]

Nah you were doing alright mate,set a good cruisey pace , let me know if you wanna go for another blast sometime :scooter: , Regards John

[beyond]

Ok, for those who asked where the bad bump is, it's about 20km South of Coro, heading up the final hill before the big lookout. It's about 2km towards Coro from the main look out at the top of the hill. If you are heading from Coro towards Thames, it's on the left lane right in your riding line on a reasonably tight left hander. It has also been marked for road works but you can't see the markings or the bump till your on it.

As for the van driver; real nice guy. In fact very apologetic for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Didn't want details or anything to pay for damage and helped us get the bike on the road as it was down the bank a bit.
Shook our hands and said thank you very much???

That was decent of him eh? :)

[Blackbird]

Pleased to see that all you guys got home without getting nicked. Coming back from Coro yesterday, the Highway Patrol were out in numbers. Must have seen 10 between Te Puru and Tokoroa including picking up 2 mufti vehicles. Look out for a dark blue Holden or Ford (didn't see which) around the Paeroa area. It was sitting in Paeroa near the big bottle pinging people coming from the Karangahake gorge end. Also a black Commodore near Tirau. Thank God for the detector!

[GIXser]

Cheers ZRxer, for orgainising the ride after playing a bit o catch up with Limb (good riding two up bro) and Aff we finnally caught up in Coroglen, didnt bother ordering lunch, as we were some of the last to arrive, Sad to hear about Gary,( one of the best and safest riders i know), that bumb , hit a lot of us, including Zed, whom was about 10 feet in front of me, his rear shifted a good foot-and a bit, the front got a bit of a wobble on, but he hung on, and after "adding to the depletion of the ozone" he took off again like it never happened..
it was a shame most of the ride was very sparatic. 2 here, 3 there a cluster a bit further, very spread out all of us, but al least most of us made it back in one, good to see boomer, (mate the wheelies are getting better,seriously)
there was one joker who didnt like his bike fondled,,( hey Zed",) firk imagine a poor fella striking up a converstion with the guys missus, (all i want for christmas are my to front teeth!!!)
was great to get on the terps , with Mat,and Jono, and Chris afterwards,

until next time chaps

[beyond]

Hey Gixser,
I didn't realise it was the one and same as Gary and I rode with out of Clevedon with a group some months back. Back then you had the yellow Gixser of course.

Good to catch up with you again mate. Shame the vid wasn't going well. :(

[R6_kid]

that van driver was probably the only reason hurricane_r, rm125king and myself didnt come to grief on the bump, he'd stopped around the corner his his hazard lights on and waved us down as we approached, only to see the R1 with one side fairing pulled back and the other covered in grass around the next bend.

[GIXser]

yeah bud" didnt gary have the "duc" back then,? i since bowled my yella Gsxr, i was on the same bike,in the weekend (just with race fairings)
please give my regards to Gary' and we'll have to catch up on the next ride--and i'll have me vid going--:yes:

[beyond]

Yep, Gary had the Bayliss Duc back then. He recently traded it in on an Aprilia Tuono so he could take his missus on the odd run as she didn't like the perch on the R1 :)

He won't be riding for at least six weeks. :(

I was a bit shocked to see him go down as he such a good smooth rider.

[TLDV8]

Speedy recovery to the injured rider.
Has anyone phoned or contacted the area council to bring it to their attention.If it is that dangerous in the dry it would be even worse in the wet at well below any speed limit.I would think if informed they then become accountable.

[terbang]

Looked like a nice day and by the sound of it you all had fun. Some of us had to work but hey I drove to Brisbane and back so it wasn't that bad. Bad news about the bins, get well and mend. It would be a good idea for someone to report the sag in the road to those responsible for its upkeep as we pay enough tax for that purpose.

[Kornholio]

That would be Mr Korn.....and, it isn't beer, it is oil!

He's looking at his bike, asking for advice as to where it should go.

Speed isn't eveything. You handle it darn well in the twisty stuff coming out of Whangamata when I was behind you and Gary on the R1 reckoned you were doing real well too. :) :2thumbsup

You are right, it is very efective in turning petrol into noise but a nice noise at that.

[Ozzie]

Beyond....How is your mate getting on?

[_Gina_]

So what happened to you ? no turn up ?
Sorry, had animals to attend to, bloody responsibilities of having two acres in the boonies.

Just a quick update as some have asked after Gary.

He is coming along okay. He sees the specialist again on Friday and they may remove the pins and fibreglass cast off his hand, hopefully. :)

His right leg is still sore and stiff but he is now managing to walk a bit more on it.

To give you an idea of how hard he hit the van, after hitting that lousy bump, his immaculate and well cared for R1, is a writeoff.

I was running my new Black GSX1400 in over the Coro Loop this last weekend and most those areas of bad roads South of Coro and before the lookout, have been spot sealed now and patches resealed. So be careful around there when you are out next.

The Whitianga to Coro hill is still pristine :) Gave my BT020's a good workout but looking forward to another set of Z6's or Pilot Roads as soon as the BT020's are worn out. They are a bit skitty in the wet.

Good to hear your mate on the mend! don't take much to write them off these days though with all the plastic bits on them.

Are the works signposted? And is it better now or jsut more dangerous?

[beyond]

Thanks Saslex.

Yep, the works were sign posted but you know how they stick out one sign for a whole lot of separate stretches. You just have to watch for the last one saying works end and then get ready for the next lot.

No, it's not better. They have gone from the normal chip seal that was quite nice to the heavy duty stuff they use on patch ups. So there will be a lot of loose stuff on top for sometime after the signs are taken down :(

I dunno about the rest of you but lately our roads are turning to crap. They are getting worse every week you go out. If it's not potholes on your riding line, it's loose gravel, dodgy repair jobs, hollows and lumps in the worst places.

Getting to the stage you need triple steering dampers alongside your triple clamps. :(

[Fishy]

Are the works signposted? And is it better now or jsut more dangerous?

Some of the gravel is signposted others aren't so it pays to be careful heading from the lookout point to Coro area.

[Leong]

Good to hear about Gary's progress Paul. Seems like a long time ago we did that ride... yet Gary is reminded every day....
