Just got back a half hour ago, was great to put some faces to your KBer name, what an awesome days riding with you guys thanks. Sorry guys, but the video camera didn't record any video footage :crybaby:(something to do with the memory card crapping out) like EJ eating a muesli bar while riding through the twisties

Pic 3: The Ninja next the "awesome Ducati".


Crap about the video camera Deano.:oi-grr:

Those last two would have to be the funniest moments for the day. :laugh:

Anyone want to compare the amount of k's they did today? (I took the long way home and managed 490!!!):shit:

That was THE BEST ride ive ever been on, great weather, great roads, great bikes, great food and great company. :headbang::woohoo::Punk:

Thanks to all who attended.

Looking foward to another if it happens again.....

[kevfromcoro]

Hey u guys..still got the lollys for ya......

Regards KEV

[EJK]

lol too bad Deano couldn't take video of me eating a musli bar lol
eating musli bar at 100kph... price less hahaha
I also ate a whole pack of multisers from Thames to Kev's place :D:D


btw carbacca, did you see GIJOE stopped on the SH1? lol
At first, I rode pass him, then I thought "omg I can't just leave him there!"
So I went for the nearest exit (which was like 4km away!)
head back...
exit again...
got back on SH1 Auckland...
got to GIJOE, but Donor was already there! lol

Aargh the award coulda been mine! lol I was gonna be his saviour of the day! lol
I couldn't even helped him anyways lol


What else happened... lol

Acording to my visual calculations, Out-law almost got head-on collision while passing a car about..... 4-5 times! lol careful next time ey? :lol:

[deanohit]

Awwww man Kev, thats nasty, those things were horrible, but give one to Tatts again for a laugh.

[deanohit]

What happened to GIJoe?

[MidnightMike]

MidnightMike: Nice to see you :) Nothing much to say cause you were wayyyy in front of me riding fast while I was named Charlie lol
Well it was good to see you :) Nice riding!

Hehehe :banana:

All good, someones gotta be at the front, so I though I might as well make things exciting, for me anyways. :rofl:


I can remember your kb name, but the guy from waikato on the GPX: (Can someone tell me what his kb name is)

- You sure can ride that thing, especially since you have only had it for only 1000km's
- Thanks heaps for letting me chuck my jumper in that massive tail bag, made the ride a lot easier.


Sweet, lets keep putting up photos in the other thread guys...

[carbacca]

great ride, thanks for the company everyone. my whole body is sore and i wanna just jump in the shower and go to sleep.....but no had to give the bike a quick clean and lube the chain etc before i put it away.

i set my trip meters when i left BP papakura this morning. i think its 490 something as well

GIJoe apparently ran out of gas about 500m from takanini offramp, i cut across two lanes to get off and find a safe place to drop him a phone call, and hes all good so i left him to it.

[EJK]

Oh, some people said to me "Why the hell do you need two days to do the loop?"

Well... the BBQ was AWESOME, the sunset was BEAUTIFUL, fresh mussles was DELICIOUS, talking was FUNNY, and all other community activity was just *cannot be described in words*

lol
It was priceless night.

BBQ Menu:
Roasted Fresh Mussles
BBQ Patties
Marinated Lamb
Marinated Chicken Kebab
Pork chops
Sausages
and one EGO Mango lolly :D:D

P.S. BING FOR EVERYBODY WHO WAS IN THIS TRIP!!!!!!!!! :D

lmao! Yeah, others should try one!;)

[deanohit]

Those last two would have to be the funniest moments for the day. :laugh:

The funniest for me was when I had my head down on the tank trying to be as streamlined as possible with the bike revving it's tits off and blasting past that cop in the blue car at 95kmh:bleh:, Bet I looked a right idiot.:doh:

[scracha]

Awfully superdooper good to meet ya'll. Kev, top bloke...what can I say. Is the proper word "cunt" lol.

Nice touch with the teddy bear. Shame there's no pillion pad aye.

What ya'll missed was my shiny uninsured Ducati's back end going completely sideways (almost full lock) on a junction that was littered with gravel and me shiting myself as a result. I was like "ffs...I've been a good boy and sat at 90 for the best part of the day and this happens". I'll bring vegetables to the next BBQ instead of meat. I still want to know who brought the sweeties (lollies?).

Still can't believe Latvia Sergei preferred the sound of a scoobaru over the Ducati tergi's....that's just wrong.

Oh...my face is REALLY sunburnt.

[deanohit]

Jeez mate, you take care of that beautiful Duke!!
Was good to see ya again, ya bloody had us in stitches all evening!! (well, the parts where we could understand ya)

[PirateJafa]

PirateJaffa: [snip] ...riding :)

Heh, I was just enjoying cruising slowly at the back of the pack with you guys for a change of pace on that leg - I figured we'd been stuck behind the blighter for 20 minutes so what was the rush in overtaking him now? :P


Acording to my visual calculations, Out-law almost got head-on collision while passing a car about..... 4-5 times! lol careful next time ey? :lol:

So that was why you were sitting on my arse for most of the trip - using me as a crumple zone huh? ;)


GIJoe apparently ran out of gas about 500m from takanini offramp, i cut across two lanes to get off and find a safe place to drop him a phone call, and hes all good so i left him to it.

Ha! You shoulda filled up when you stopped by me at the gas station in Paeroa ;)

Pity the excitement happened after we'd split up to head home, although I had a beaut cruise from Paeroa back to Aucks - hardly dropped below 130 the whole way, and not a cop in sight!

A+++, would trad- I mean, ride again. Excellent work EJ! :niceone:

[EJK]

does that mean "A++ Highly recommended, good trade, will trade again"? lol

good ride ya'll... I'm taking a warm shower and watch some Charlie Chaplin and then head to Coro... No, I mean bed lol

[carbacca]

you lucky. my trip back from paeroa involved lots of sunstrike, cages travelling at 80k, debris flying off the back of dump trucks etc.....

[gijoe1313]

Well finally got to answering in this thread! :lol: Yes, I did run out of go-gas a scant few hundred metres from a servo, the crapola thing is I could hear fuel sloshing around in the tank still (sigh, those damn tank designers making a dip in the tank so you can't actually use the last litre or half or so! :doh:)

Donor came and bailed me out with a nice 5 litre fuel can and we talked shite on the side of the moronway as EJ skidded to a stop 200m down to see how I was :rofl: Carbacca did pull over and give me a call on the celly but it was all good!

Anyway - my fault, if'n I wasn't going quickly and pootled along merrily, I'd have no probs with the milage (but I guess winding it on uphill past the slower cages is a biker thing! :whistle:)

Great trip since I managed to fit in two visits around the Coro loop :woohoo: I only wished we left at an ungodly earlier hour so we could do the Tauranga/Kaimai/Te Aroha route (I guess I will do that next week myself ... it's a hard life)

Kev, you are a bloody legend, you exemplify the kiwi hospitality and your mate make you both a pair! Dang, will miss the deck when you no longer have the place (secretly, I love riding the cable car :msn-wink:)

Only had two pucker moments - going around the twisties past Coro town and coming around a blind corner and the traffic had stopped.. emergency braking! And I had my eyes shut hoping no-one would ram me in the rear! (ooer! :o)

The other was heading out to Whitianga through from another set of twisties and a frikk'n cager comes around a blind straddling the center line. Evasive! All sweet!

And oh yeah, the sweet sound and sight of a Ducati thumping up the hills always brings a grin to my face! (I laughed at the Commodore rozzer who saw a motley collection of wannabe bikers tootle past!)

Good to see that everyone was sensible on the trip and hope to do another ride out in the near future with you all again!

Pic1 : The start of the Auckland Crew riding down on Friday
Pic2 : Bikes beneath us on the deck ... :love:
Pic3 : Yes, very Village People ... I see young men, staying at a place I know ...
Pic4 : Deanohit decided to test his tyres traction-adhesion limit in the morning dew on the grass ... bent, but nothing we didn't know about him already!
Pic5 : The Scotsman needed tae whet his whistle wiv'a brewski!
Pic6 : Bikes on the side of the road ... so purty!

More piccies to come

Nice twisties there... lost couple of corners but all GOOD !

who ever added me a reputaion

..wow, just... wow.

please explain why is it RED !?

[Out-law]

Oeeee I forgot to tell... I had A bit of a problem on my way back !!!... I was in North Shore, took the grevil rd exit, went through the roundabout at the speed about 40km/hr and All of sudden My back skidded out to the left, then to the right then to the left and so on(Didn't drop the bike). so I started decelerating and slightly applied my front brake. as soon as I stoper I had a look at my rear tire and It was flat so I pushed my bike to the nearest Petrol station, got the tire filled with air, drove to home, and by the time I got home It got flat again.

Nice riding there... I didnt see you skiding out :(

[Out-law]

Only had two pucker moments - going around the twisties past Coro town and coming around a blind corner and the traffic had stopped.. emergency braking! And I had my eyes shut hoping no-one would ram me in the rear! (ooer! :o)


HAHA :calm: I remember that ! I slammed on my brakes, locked the rear :wari: and stoped like 5cm behind you... :banana:

Wish I'd have been out with you lot. Was off work sick all week. Pouring nose inside the helmet isn't much fun. Good thing Halo came out to keep me distracted from the beautiful riding weather while I was at home. I think sitting at my desk looking out the window all week would have broken me :2guns:
