---------------------------------------------------------


Hi there,

I feel like going around Coro this Sat the 2nd, anyone want to join me?

Happy to do the north loop or south loop - not both as I have to be back home by 4pm latest.

There will most probably be a newbie coming with me so newbies are most welcome.

Cheers,
JSG

OI! Whats with the cross posting! Thats a no no,but maybe you didnt know, will let you go this time.

Sorry Speedie, just don't have the time to be bothered with politics.

Any of you actually interested in riding those roads turn up as advised.



Not a dig at you G .. hope you're doing well.

Working two jobs now 75-80 hours a week and trying to fit the gym in and a few other things...... no time to be a full time online KB'er.

Take care mate :spudwave:

[wybmadiity]

Have a safe enjoyable day folk's

Yo JSG, team muppet was planning on heading out that way on Saturday mate, looking at being in Kopu ready for departure for 11ishpm.
Mite see you out there, i can't be arsed doing the whole back roads from botany through to miranda, takes too long. But yeah i'll be at kopu for 11pm with Daryl and a few others. Not fussed on which loop, although i much perfer going kopu, whanagmata, waihi, whangamata, kopu if you do the bottom loop, the K gorge through to Paeroa is shit, short and policed!

[beyond]

Might be able to sneak out :) Have to see but like JSG can't be late that day, preferably back by 3ish for me.
Loosebruce has a good idea. The roads to Waihi and back are awesome too.
If we do Kopu to Whangamata to Waihi and back the same way, makes for a shorter ride than the North Coro loop and we still get some great roads we get to do twice minus the over policed 80kmh K Gorge. Good thinking Loosebruce.

Those that leave Auckland, what time do you plan on meeting at the Autobahn Papakura?

[loosebruce]

Good thinking Loosebruce.

Thats a first :mellow:

Plus it'll be good to get out that way again now, before holiday traffic takes it's toll on the roads round there, knee, peg, pipes and whatever else scrapping the deck through a corner to find a campervan doing 4kph halfway round :shit:

Should be a mint day, and yea the bottom route as suggested is just as good (if not better IMO) and a fair bit shorter than the full loop, good days riding. Plus Hikuai (sp) to Whangamata just gets no better in terms of roads :Punk: and for the late comers like Dss3 it'll be easier to hook up with the group.

Just my thoughts, whatever you choose JSG :Punk:

na - you do have a good point. I too love the short loop and with my time constraints it would be the better ride.

Meeting point changed to Autobahn Papakura.

Leaving there at 9:30 pm now.

So we should easily get to Kopu Mobil by 11 am - probably have time for a quick pie and coke or protien bar and orange juice...:innocent:

Be great to see you guys there.

[scracha]

whanagmata, waihi, whangamata, kopu if you do the bottom loop, the K gorge through to Paeroa is shit, short and policed!

The K gorge is fun even within the speed limit. As for the rarely to be found filth, slow down on the boring straight bits and you'll be fine.

I plan to be at Kopu around 11am. It would be best to meet us there.

[beyond]

Ok, I'm down for the ride but won't be there if the weather is dodgy.
As soon as the BT020's that came with the bike are worn off, then I won't mind the damp, but right now, riding in less than dry conditions makes life just a little too exciting. :)

Olivia, we will easily make Kopu at around 10.30 am, if we leave Paps at 9.30am. So we will have time to suck some suds and scoff a maggot pack before heading to Hikuia-Whangamata. :)

[loosebruce]

Weather looks to be clearing up by Saturday, be good to catch up again Beyond. I know myself, eyetie, motoracer, dss3, and a few others are heading out, so it should be a good un. The roads are in mint condition round there, and some of the nasty corners have been hotmixed :yes: the grip is awesome, it was hard to get 170hp to unstick the rear :love: cat eyes and knees dont mix though, still hurts today!

[Big Dave]

Do The Toy Run Then Go For A Ride.

[kiwifruit]

See you guys at Kopu, i might even have a pillion :sunny:

Yeah, hope the weathers good alright. Be neat to catch up with you guys again and Kiwifruit with a pillion :) Who's the pillion? Pavlova? Kiwifruit goes well with pavlova. :)

Cats eyes :( Not good to hit with your front tyre going hard out into a sweeper either. Knocks the front out a good foot or so before it regrips thankfully, but stuffs your line and has you heading for the bank real quick if you don't get her back on line. I can imagine what they would do to knees even when they are encased in good leathers :(

Hiya Saul,

Great profile pick too, by the way.

The K gorge is fun even within the speed limit. As for the rarely to be found filth, slow down on the boring straight bits and you'll be fine.
