Slow riders for Taupo 12th

[curious george]

Hey Guys & Girls, are there any riders who are keen for a slowish ride down on the day?
Mars is a new biker chick here, but is a bit shy about who to ride with.
My brother may make two, and another chick Clair may be three.

Hi Guys and Gals, Mars here, long time looker, first time poster.......
The ever curious georgous is such a honey for encouraging me to ask...so here goes...any minute now...is there anyone out there willing to "walk" me and 'Sangria' (my beloved bike) down to taupo on the 12th? You wont have to walk me back if you dont want cause one of my chickie friends who is hooking up with me there has already offered. She's a bit of a nutter though on her Kawasaki 6R (and I tell her that too!) but hopefully the walk down will give me the confidence to maybe canter part of the way back so she wont be too bored!

Welcome to KB Mars. Funny name for someone from Venus. I am sure someone from KB will offer to "walk" you to Taupo.

I'll be racing there so I am goind down in the van.

[curious george]

Hi MR, yeah the 750 is bloody awesome!!! It's actually a nice riding bike.
Plenty fast, but I find it quite cumfy as well now the double bouble screen is fitted.
I would like to get onto Puke when it opens, but the chicken in me says 'DONT!!'
I'm racing to, so wont be riding down, this was just to see if there was anybody else who wants a good days ride.

Hi Mars,
As it happens I am riding up to Taupo with a friend on the 11th and it would be great to meet up with you on the 12th! I'm a new rider and also slow. The only thing is I will be heading back to Welly on the 12th so depending on your plans maybe we can even just meet up for a "Hello" :wavey:

PM me and we can arrange a meet up time. :)

[6Chris6]

I'm riding down on saturday with a couple of riders. The more the merrier, even if we go a little quicker in places we will always wait and have lunch etc.

Hey Sudeep, is there room in your van for another bike???? Ill give you some gas dollars :niceone: Dont know if KK is going, so cant say im going until i know my bike has a ride down.....

Hey Mars, welcome along :niceone: I should be riding down to Taupo (but very early in the morning) and wont be going fast (wont have done the service on the 600 by then....)

[FROSTY]

at this stage I'm thinking i'll be heading down after work on saturday.
ill be in the race van or car and trailer.

That's me she's talking about!
Well, I'm heading North from Taupo on the 12th, to Bay of Islands via Auckland. So, either I take it even easier and wait for you guys to show up and head back up with you (my pace could probably best be described as... er... 'Regal'; 'tis a GN, after all!) or maybe hook up along the route somewhere for a coffee or.. something?
Too much of a coincidence not to say 'hi'!

[FROSTY]

OYY you-jas--u'd better stop in and say gidday

[jazbug5]

Well I'd better, then...

after all, wouldn't want you to sic Baby Bikie onto me..... *shiver*
(te he)

[FROSTY]

You could always flag Taupo and come with WIMA and friends on our Hokianga Heartland ride 11th & 12th. We awhi (care for) new riders goin as fast as they feel safe goin very well indeed, in a well schooled group, backed back and front by long serving riders. In other groups, well, unless you are with people who know how to ride a group (ie stagger etc), ACC reckon youre 40% more likely to come to grief in one. Having ridden with some nutters who think group riding means going round me on tight corners in the same lane, Im sorta thinking they might be right...

WIMA runs slowly due to the presence of lots of learners and a definite commitment to safety for all (but there is always a small group who go a wee bit faster!) I loved learning to ride on "rides" with the WIMA girls, did my first real ride just two weeks after getting the basic skills ticket (out west), even when I had to point out 70kms is BELOW 80kms on the speed dial!

Anyway, you would be welcome to join, Im sure...and for those of you who are WIMA or Friends, we're leaving Albany and Westgate 9am Saturday, going up via Waipoua Forest, staying Opononi (on local marae) that night, hopefully soaking in Ngawha hotpools at some point, and cruising some lovely roads both days.

Yea no worries man. You can slot your bike in my van.

[k14]

[Kwaka-Kid]

[curious george]

[Kwaka-Kid]

[Two Smoker]

yeh yeh nah its not work, well it is work too - have to work sunday night you see :S but anyway ill see what i can sort, will be good to see ytah again there george.
You can jump on the back of my bike if you want a "brisk" ride home......

[Firefight]

[twinkle]

I'm definitely going down on sunday morning. So who else is going down for sure? meet at the hospital at 7am or something?

[Mars]

Hey guys and gals, thanks heaps for the interest and welcome - you all rock!
I'm up for anything - leaving early as; catching up when you stop for lunch; meeting up at the hospital; going through hamilton; daytripping with WIMA (another day); joining WIMA (!); and meeting kindred L plate spirits like myself for conversations about how much oil is too much.
Let me just clarify that I am definitely a slow rider :baby: so if patience is your virtue just leave me instructions and lead the way. By the way, you do have to know the way too, cause i don't.

Papakura autobahn is the coffee shop next to the large BP service station, it has it's own motorway exit just after Papakura.

Chris

[BNZ]

Im confused?? What day are you meeting at the hospital? The racing is on sunday right?

Taupo has a pretty good nightlife but the backpackers can fill up pretty fast, especially with a track meet on.
