[Ms Piggy]

Great news! I won't be around so have a fun w/e.

[Sparky Bills]

Would have loved to, But I might be going to Napier this weekend.
If not will prob do a bike shop tour to catch up with goss and stuff.
Might see you round! :ride:

[Motoracer]

How you getting down to Welly man?

[riffer]

Sorry I can't meet up TS, but for mine, I'd recommend the Rimutakas.

Paekakariki Hill is a good road, but potentially far more dangerous than the takas as you don't have a lot of visibility.

On the takas you have heaps more visibility, the corners are much faster, and although the road surface on Paekak is better, the takas give you much more opportunity to scrape pegs and generally be a total hoon.

Others will probably disagree and, of course, the takas are copletely out of your way.

How about - do the takas (takes about an hour out of your day), turn around at Featherston and come back again, go over Haywards and do Paekakariki on the way out of Welly.

Best of both worlds!

And will only take up an extra hour out of you day, which I guarantee will be worth it. You will love both rides!

[Quasievil]

Good luck dude, your love it, be a long ride home.
Go yeah a real long ride home!!! hey TS its not to late to get a new 05 ZX636? make the ride home a bit quicker

[StoneChucker]

I could be up for a ride. What bike you getting, or have you already said?
I'm not riding all that fast at the moment, but you can take off and wait for me :whistle:

I'd be happy top head over the Taka's with you, then I might go have a wander out to Martinborough. Bruce (VTWIN) may also come along.

9:30 you say? Let me know what you think.
Dave.

[jrandom]

Well, one way or another, on a GSXR600, I'm sure you'll beat *my* not-so-record time...

StoneChucker he is picking up a gsxr600k5 so he won't be fast straight out of the blocks

Only if TS decides to run her in gently. Otherwise it'll be 2fiddy down the straights and full banking around corners tearing away all of the chicken strips of a brand spankin new set of tyres! :Punk:

That sounds awesome Dave, im very keen for that, and as CelticNo6 said, i will probably go do the takas then go back into wellington then over piecock...will PM details later on :niceone:

My aim is to be rid of my Chicken strips by the end of the ride, but im going to gently run her in by the book (engine wise)...

Hey MR, you keen for a ride over Coromandel way in 2 weeks time? and are you going to taupo on the 12th of December?

[FROSTY]

hey TS --if it was me I'd take her up and over pie cock then stop after an houtr and let her cool down-I drove pie cock and its like daves SH22
windy and tight

[andy1]

Go over the Rimutakas, go up through the Wairarapa and the go over the Pahiatua track through Palmy back to SH1. 2 good runs in the first part of your trip.

Or you could go on up through to Napier, do the Napier Taupo and then SH1 from Taupo back. Adds about 90 minutes to the trip all up.

So many choices :wacko: should have booked a room and stayed for a while... will have to later in December

[andy1]

A good day blasting will sort the puppy out TS!

Dont be a KB pussy :killingme Jokes!

[StoneChucker]

I was hoping you were picking up a 1941 Suzuki GN125, with shoddy tyres and throttle problems... That way, I could keep up with you. I'm such a sissy, I drove slower than my gran would with my new tyre on, on Tuesday night.

Can't wait to see the bike, don't think I have yet.

[Velox]

Yep - I'm in. So about 10am at Wgtn MC? Woohoo - that you're moving up to a 600!!! Nice work.

[NC]

I have to work...More money makes Ruth a happy girl :D And the NC30 look a bit better... :laugh:

[Motoracer]

Hey MR, you keen for a ride over Coromandel way in 2 weeks time? and are you going to taupo on the 12th of December?Yea man, I'd be keen. Yep, going to the beach on Sat the 11th then going to Taupo in the evening. Staying at a motel then going racing on Sunday.

[Devil]

pharkin fuel is spencive! over 16 bucks to full the NC now!
$16 whole dollars. hah.
Costs $65 to fill my car and I get 300km out of it.

[bungbung]

$65 poor baby, I reached a new record : $104.something for a tank, of course I can get 600km for that which is not so bad.

[curious george]

Hey TS, try this way home!
It's the way I went, and it was bloodyawesome!!!
Take care in the rain and have fun!!!

[Jase W]

Is that the vinegar hill road?

[Hoon]

Yeah me and LooseBruce went that way on the way to Manfeild the other week. It sucked big time........in the van carrying 3 ppl and 2 bikes that is but it would be a blast on the bike. Lots of twisty bits with a suss looking tabletop bridge to practice your backflips on :)

[curious george]

Haha! jeez Hoon, that would be the worst road with a van full of bikes!!!
Yup, Vinegar hill it is, it's almost worth the ride down there for that alone.
Just an idea, any local or regular riders know a better way?

[Two Smoker]
