Hey all... I'm getting my bike and hopefully gear tomorrow :D Hopefully I should be confident enough in a few weeks, possibly a month, to start going out into rural roads. So if that's the case are there any people in Taupo who want to go for nice and easy rides around the Taupo area? I was thinking maybe we could go out Oruanui, Aratiatia, Mapara Rds etc.. probably not in one day, but those sort of roads lol. Please PM me if your keen :)
Thanks,
Jaz

I'm learning, and I'm slow. I'm in Rotorua, but BF lives in Taupo, so I'm down that way fairly frequently.
The bike is currently getting repairs, but I'll let you know when it's fixed and I'm going to be down your way on the bike.
Along Poihipi Rd to SH32 and back to Taupo along Whangamata Rd is a nice ride for a learner as well.

Yeah right............on a ZX10...........??
I'm old and slow, does that count?
Besides you might need some "protection" from all these young bucks!
Seriously though I am usually up for a ride anytime so long as its slow, slow or slow and has frequent stops for coffee. One of my young staff members and his fiancee both have bikes and are both on learners (although despite that he rides better than me......bstrd!) and would probably be keen to ride with you.
P.M anytime.

Now you've got the bike and gear come along to the track-days coming up at Taupo. They are only 3 or 4 weeks away and you should be more than confident enough by then. There is a novice class so don't be worried about being the slowest one out there, I'll be there on a GN and i've only been riding a few months

I am thinking about coming out :D... but I'm not too sure if I'll have the cash to be able to do that.
