Hi MR, Ive done about 300kms so far, not to much but that will change this weekend, if 22 is closed I will probably want to go down around the bennedale mangakino road and back up through Te Awamutu way, you keen for that?

As to riding this weekend. A few of us are doing the Coromandel from Tauranga on Saturday, staying in Coromandel town overnight. If anyone hits the Coromandel, look out for The Man on his 916 with (dirty) red mohawk and myself on Honda with rabbit ears attached to helmet.

Hi Slim, long shot here, did you used to own a TRX as your guy having the 916 reminds me of a girl guy riding around the east cape a couple of years back we saw them out at the lighthouse me and my mate were on day four with dirty grubby adventure bikes we all had a chat at the end of the road by the light house, I think we were invited back for drinks to there freinds house who was on the back of the 916, just that they were from Hamilton, was it you guys ?

Slim

3rd August 2004, 10:03

The simple answer is that I've never owned a TRX, and the East Cape road is about the only main road in the North Island I haven't yet travelled. :)

The Man only brought his 916 in February and it's got a single seat unit. The guy you saw didn't have a huge ZZ Top-style beard did he? Cos I know of a Tauranga couple where the lady has a TRX, although I thought her man had a Guzzi. Hnmmmm.

Hey there Brett

Congrats with the bike. I could well be keen for a blast in the weekend - depends on the weather really. Will keep an eye on things throughout the week.

I don't mind any roads just as long as it is hell twisty with minimum straights. That's cause I wana ride the XR again and it's not that much fun sitting at 140-160 with sore arms fighting the wind!

P.S. Road conditions doesn't matter on the XR, it's so cool. I don't mind if there is road works, gravel, big bumps or even jumps (that'd be pretty sweet! :D).

Me says goody goody. However, how many Aucklanders want to get to Kopu via Clevedon, Kawakawa Bay, Kaiaua (sp?), Kopu? We would have to allow an hour from Clevedon?? Let me know & we will make a plan for the 1st stint.
