If you're heading south on the motorway you really cant miss it, big blue signs with the ol food, toilet, gas etc symbols (note, you can only access it headin south, just in case that makes a difference to anyone...)

[Just beGiNing 250]

sweet, thanks for that. looks about a 35min ride from the center of auckland?? its gonna be an early one:sleep::pinch:

[zxcvbnm]

What sort of stuff do you guys take with you. I'm planing to travel light if I can with just the bare minimum.

[Choco]

that was me. I was pretty sure that it was you too after the second full arm wave across four lanes of traffic. very funny but then you got youre bike problems. hey might see you back tomorrow then

Had to make sure it was you when I saw you the second time :bleh:
What bike problems? :confused:

[Ragingrob]

sweet, thanks for that. looks about a 35min ride from the center of auckland?? its gonna be an early one:sleep::pinch:

Yep 20-25mins from Auck I guess maybe 30 :pinch:.

10Mins from my house :woohoo:

But as per usual, the closest one is usually the latest haha. I guess if I'm running it tight I will just call past BP and if I can't see any of you guys will head towards Kopu. Are we meeting anyone there anyway?

[Badger8]

sweet, thanks for that. looks about a 35min ride from the center of auckland?? its gonna be an early one:sleep::pinch:

ah bugger, only about a 10 min ride for me :)
Finally, a benefit to living in south auckland! :shit:

[Ragingrob]

Oh and what is the final decision regards the leaving time from BP anyway? Update main post, or is it the original plan?

[Ragingrob]

ah bugger, only about a 10 min ride for me :)
Finally, a benefit to living in south auckland! :shit:

:Pokey:

So where is this "South Central" then ay? I'm in Karaka... Why aren't we going for rides!!! Haha.

[Badger8]

:Pokey:

So where is this "South Central" then ay? I'm in Karaka... Why aren't we going for rides!!! Haha.

2 min from Mt Welly offramp, up the backstreets opposite Sylvia Park.
I'm always keen for a ride, just need a destination and an excuse... wait, just the first one! :2thumbsup

[Just beGiNing 250]

What bike problems? :confused:

oh i thought I read you needed a washer or summat and I presumed you werent riding cos i didnt see you after

[Just beGiNing 250]

What sort of stuff do you guys take with you. I'm planing to travel light if I can with just the bare minimum.

I'll be bringing:

camera
sunglasses
Some snack foods
Wipes for the visor
couple of socks and jocks
extra pairs of clothes
change of footwear for the evening (although toto was happy last time walking round in boots and shorts :cool:)
oh yeah and the towel and toohbrush yada yada
MONEY

We dont need a sleeping bag do we?

[Choco]

oh i thought I read you needed a washer or summat and I presumed you werent riding cos i didnt see you after

I was still there; we just didn't intercept each other.
It was only a week and a half where I had the front wheel off and was searching for the washer (all fixed now :D)

So what happens if one misses the exit?? Get off at Drury, go back up then off at Papakura, then down again??

Or just reverse in from the exit as I recall someone did last Saturday...

yes, so dont miss the exit. or do like ChocolateWheels did on saturday - drive the wrong way on the on ramp :D - he is mad that one I tell ya.

When Choco and badger get together - expect the unexpected - from drag racing, cow chasing, to weelies, and driving the wrong way onthe motorway. :lol:

UPDATE: MEET AT BP AUTOBAHN 7:30AM FRIDAY MORNING .

LEAVING TIME IS 8:00AM.


Damn that's an early start...


I'm on the shore, I see a few others are too - anyone interested in meeting up over this side first?

Yep I wouldn't mind meeting up with some other North Shorians first before going to BP Autobahn, it'll be really early though, like 6:30am or something.


When Choco and badger get together - expect the unexpected - from drag racing, cow chasing, to weelies, and driving the wrong way onthe motorway. :lol:

Well on Saturday someone was doing burnouts in the middle of the road, riding up and down the single lane onramp to SH1 at Pokeno, stopping in the middle of the road, etc. :crazy:

[TOTO]

Damn that's an early start...

HTFU :D

I wish to publicly thank PocketCracker for the awesome wheelies we saw that day - it was a privelage. :clap: I did my first wheelie ever - on the grass but it was still a wheelie



.................

[musicman]

When did you do a wheelie? I must've missed it!

[TOTO]

When did you do a wheelie? I must've missed it!

Choco and Pocketcracker saw it :D

It was on that on ramp that you mentioned that we stopped and turned around.

Thanks for showing us Your Big Ice Cream By the way. Its was very very good :drool:

[glice]

yea traveling light is the way to go. on the cape trip i took socks, towl, hoodie, jandles, water, muslie bars, cash, charger, and just wore my cloths under my leathers. good as gold.

I'm happy with 730, but crikey I live on the shore and wasnt going to leave till about 7, its only 40 od k and its on the motorway, should only take 20mins.

ok badger and choco looks like I'll let you guys ramain as the gravel champs, you need something to wave your flag about :lol:

[TOTO]

I'm happy with 730, but crikey I live on the shore and wasnt going to leave till about 7, its only 40 od k and its on the motorway, should only take 20mins.


I'm leaving 6:30 - rather be a bit early than late.

[Choco]

yes, so dont miss the exit. or do like ChocolateWheels did on saturday - drive the wrong way on the on ramp :D - he is mad that one I tell ya.

When Choco and badger get together - expect the unexpected - from drag racing, cow chasing, to weelies, and driving the wrong way onthe motorway. :lol:

:D
The exit snuck up on me and I couldn't change 3 lanes in about 20m, so I pull over, watch to make sure it's clear and cruise up the off ramp :whistle::innocent:

One of these days I'll get Badger to show me how to wheelie...

[TOTO]

I was trying to wheelie today but I guess I dont have as big balls as badger.

[Choco]

It's all about technique :(
Technique which I don't have lol

[musicman]

I was trying to wheelie today but I guess I dont have as big balls as badger.

I would imagine your bike would be harder to wheelie than a GN250 though, being much heavier.

[Badger8]

One of these days I'll get Badger to show me how to wheelie...

Any time mate. Best practice is taking off from lights around town, i usually get the front wheel off the ground just a touch when goin hard :) (or to that point where it's still touching, but steering doesn't do much, all light and feathery)


I was trying to wheelie today but I guess I dont have as big balls as badger.

Toto has it right, it's all about COHONES!!! :laugh:

GN is 135kg (ooficially). Dunno how much the hyobag is, but she's got more power... apparently... :whistle:


ooh, and i got myself some awesome new pants today!
Workmans quality waterproof overtrousers. normally $150, reduced to $20!!! Gotta love clearance tables :D they even fit comfortably over a pair of jeans, awesome! no more working in soaking wet jeans, or having to wear overalls around the office on wet mornings :)

[nevets]

Yep I wouldn't mind meeting up with some other North Shorians first before going to BP Autobahn, it'll be really early though, like 6:30am or something.

Same place as we met last saturday. 6:30am see you there.

[TOTO]

Na , they are overpants. You put them on top of your normal pants or jeans or leathers. There is armoured waterproof pants I saw in Holeshot today but they were $300bux so i said - f++K that. The ones I'm getting take like 30 seconds to put on. really handy. Weill always carry them together with my waterproof lollipo jacket. O I'm wearing my lollipop jacket on the mornings now, so i'll be bright and visible for you peeps . got a high viz vest for my pack rack too. got a spare high viz vest if anyone is interested. If someone wants it for the ride , yell out now.


Any volunteers for TEC by the way ?

[EJK]

Ooooooh so you are not a slow-type rider anymore huh? :devil2:

[TOTO]

EJ would you be TEC for us ? :rolleyes:

[Ragingrob]

I'll volounteer as TEC for the Coro loop if ya want Todd, so noone has to be TEC for the whole 3 days. As long as MY bike doesn't cut out it'll be all good haha!

[Choco]

I will probably be floating around near the back (unless we hit gravel or crazy steep hills with twisties :laugh:) so if I end up being TEC while the bigger guys scoot off thats fine. Just be aware that I cant catch up if we're out of cellphone coverage :(

[The Pastor]

just make sure you got everyones number, and they have yours :)

[glice]

whats the forcast? how much rain does there need to be for it to get called off? and when will it be decided?

[zxcvbnm]

I'm heading down today since I don't want to travel from Whangarei in the morning. I'll probably meet up with you guys at the entrance to Thames or possibly at the BP if I stay in Auckland.

[TOTO]

Here is friday for you. nO RAIN EXPECTED.

http://www.metvuw.com/forecast/2008042318/rain-nzni-2008042318-30.gif

Tour will not be called off. Third day is expected to be a bit wet so I encourage wet weather cloting for day 3. Looks like day 3 may be straight back home with no fancy stuff. We will decide that when we get to it.

[TOTO]

I'm heading down today since I don't want to travel from Whangarei in the morning. I'll probably meet up with you guys at the entrance to Thames or possibly at the BP if I stay in Auckland.

[Nagash]

Hey guys,

I wish you all a very enjoyable trip. I was gonna come down and see you off but my cunt of a boss has decided to open shop on ANZAC and scarper off on holiday, so that's what i'll be doing.

Wish you all the best of luck and I hope it turns out to be as fun and enjoyable as the last one, I'm sure Todd (as long as he gets a few pointers where he's going) will once again pull through as a great leader.

Bitch about the weather but hey, it's winter folks. Shit happens.

When you come back on Sunday drop me a text and we could go to a pub and share a few beers. I'll keep in contact with Todd over the weekend to find out who's binned, so remember. News spreads fast..

Have a good one guys :niceone:

:mad: Argh! I'm cursed now :weep:
Next tour you ARE COMING.
I haven't ridden with you since the corro loop and that was ages back,
but you will have your modded FXR RRR and will leave me for dust :laugh:

[Badger8]

So... care to share with us where we could find these overtrousers?

Blackwoods Paykels, Ororke Rd in Penrose. Apparently they had some more there (that i didnt see at the time), but they were like 6XL or something. The 4XL's i got fit comfortably over a pair of jeans on ME, so i think those 6XL's would be a bit big for you mate ;) :D


Are they armoured?

Nope. If you want armoured waterproof pants, go cordura. It's what i'll be riding in tomorrow if you wanna check em out. Soft armour in the hips, solid armour on the knees, big zips all the way up the legs (great for getting them over biker boots), waterproof as anything, and good abrasion resistance (not as good as leather of course, but more than enough for round town) Set me back 120 (i think) from motomail, they had to order me in some man sized ones tho :bleh:


Gave my bike an oil change and a clean last night, and managed to scrape some of the crud off the exhaust from the last tour, so she's good to go. I'm a bit worried tho... i started hitting 2nd gear wheelies today :crazy:
My first Coro loop! :woohoo:

[Choco]

I'm a bit worried tho... i started hitting 2nd gear wheelies today :crazy:
My first Coro loop! :woohoo:

NO 12 O'CLOCK ONES lol
about half 10 is good enough. :yes:
Mate, you're going to love the loop :D

[Badger8]

NO 12 O'CLOCK ONES lol
about half 10 is good enough. :yes:
Mate, you're going to love the loop :D

I'm gonna try my hardest to restrain myself, dont wanna do something stupid way the hell out in Coro. I've been taking it easy since i'm riding with a bung leg, but was nipping around this afternoon and felt the front lifting in 2nd a couple of times :eek: might need to look at re-adjusting my clutch cable a bit tmrw, will see how i go once i get in the groove :)

Cant wait for the loop eh, been wanting to do it for a long time, just never got round to it :yes:

[TOTO]

You will go around it tomorrow :)

You will have to show me your technique for wheeling... you sitting on the pillion seat is probably a big factor :P
I'm off to bed folks! See you bright and early tomorrow!

Ba-doom-TISH! :laugh:

Probly doesn't hurt... :shifty:

Tis pretty easy to do, she's got more than enough power to bite ya in the balls if you turn her loose... as i found out :weep:

I'll keep in contact with Todd over the weekend to find out who's binned, so remember. News spreads fast..

It's his bike, said he dropped a chain.

[BASS-TREBLE]

Thats my might Gn

A few links in the chain cracked and let go.
Thank god for the van as it happened about 30 mins north of Tolaga bay.

Whoops, didn't see you already said that..

It wasn't Kyle riding the GSX'R was it? He said he'd bring it out but I didn't actually believe him..

[musicman]

Just got home, damn it was an awesome trip!

Thanks for the tour guys! :niceone:
And thanks to TOTO for organising it! :2thumbsup

Just realised I didn't take any photos... :Oops:

[musicman]

It wasn't Kyle riding the GSX'R was it? He said he'd bring it out but I didn't actually believe him..

It was Kyle on the GSXR thou, yes. With a bare rear tyre. The guys have the pics of the tyre, it was pretty crazy that he rode back from Whakatane on them!

[Ragingrob]

After his burnouts and skids on the first day I'm not surprised it's damn bare!

[pocketcracker]

just got home , Well what can i say ....

1st off thank you toto for the organisation,

AND THANK YOU TO ALL THAT RODE WITH US .. Exspecially Gordo as the van was a god saint !

And the lil dude from te puki Cheers for just being cool pillion ! *QUOTE go faster Watching speedo climb over 200kmph* this is when where passing cars already on the back wheel ! :)~

Highlight of the tour , I gave toto my gixxer for a blast .. he takes off like a cut cat liftz wheel , rounds a corrner exceeding all bylaws and meets a cop mid cornner , Well he had stopped de mounted the gixxer and was making his way for the tall grass b4 the cop could even blink ! ....

Now i think i managed my mission to wheel stand ever where, scare small children and woman , say Yes plz 10001 times, get a date from sum random back packer girl , shreed a tyre, ride from whakatne to cycle treads with my bike ant Break neck angles , Even filled cycletreads with beautiful Tyre smoke !

Well my baby just got a post trip check over , and sum new feet !

Ready for the next 1 ... i urge all that can make a day ride ect to come along as we seem to have delivered yet another brilliant ride , tour ,,,,,

Ps , I Need to Sh*T ! HEHEHEHE its a private joke ,, Damn green zinger burger !

Cant wait to see photos guys !

[glice]

yea that was a cool ride, I always enjoy riding with you guys. thanks to toto aswell, another well organised ride. I just wish I could have come the rest of the trip, I need a job that doesnt work saturdays!
cant wait to see the rest of the photos and hear about the rest of the trip.

p.s. Id love a ride too pocket :devil2: I'm still not sure I belive 214 on the hurricane

[pocketcracker]

just put sum brand new dancing shoes on my girl , so yea most welcome to take her around the dance floor when ever ya want ,

you went past me i was doing approx 140ish i then speed up and sat inches off ya rear wheel and held that position for least 5-10 seconds where speed leveled to 207 but at that stage you had de throttle for the slight hill then reapplyed the throttle that kinda leap frogged you ahed a few feet ! So i guesstemated it at 214 as i had to accelerate to 215-220 to recatch ya but my speedo at that stage was fluttering , as wasent holding speed ,

Ps, my speedo and my navman gps speed scensor are with in 1kmph of eac other so i know for a fact ya hurricane can do 207- 206 !

[bismarck]

Hi, I'm that gisborne guy
these are the photos and video I took:rolleyes:
Nice riding with you guys!

http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=OjfW8iF5efo

[pocketcracker]

awsum vid andy ! ,,, whoz that hoon on the gixxer i wonder HEHEHHE ! now how do i save that video so i can watch it over and over with out having to dl each time ?

[TOTO]

Ok , just got back, as after I left you falks at PsychoTreads I decided I hadn't ridden enogh for the day so shot off to Papatoe and back.

The trif was primo. I loved the whole lot of it. The company was fantastic and I was very pleased to see you guys who came on the last tour come again. I was kinda sad the rest of you couldnt make it but hope you will join us for the next one. O yes there will be another one. Not confirming anything as of yet but leave your Queens Birthday Long Weekend (5 juna if I'm correct) free :D


Highlights:

*Doing the whole coro loop was just awesome - hadn't done the whole thing for a while (more than 2 weeks). The twisties going to the lookout are always a nice warmup. Badger , you should also do that part backwords , its a whole new world of fun.



*Having a ride on the GSXR10000 - man that thing has some balls. First thing I did was to stall it as I was so nervous about starting it that forgot to put back the side stand. Started of in first, twisted my wrist 3cm was doing 97km/h in a 50k area and trats forst gear. Just got out of 50k zone - 2nd gear - 130, thirs gear 169k, 4th got up to 221 but that was by accident. Every time I pulled the trottle the bike surged ahead, whick pushed me back, which caused me to pull the trottle even more. Took me some serious effort to slow down.I think I broke the sound barrier on a couple of ocasions. I was doing 137 around that corner when I spotted the cops - I was thinking that will be a hefty fine, but luckyly was not. Was shaking from the adrenaline for about 30 minutes I had climbed off the GSXR. I cant get a 1000c bike tho - I don't have the willpower to keep my licence for more than 3 days or do I mean 3 hours. Big thanks to Kyle for that.



*Going for a night time Stroll with MusicMan and ChocolateWheels into the darn, and on the gravel again to get to the sacred maory lookout place. Did some burnouts there. I tried to kidd the giant maory gods ass, but unforunately I wasn't worthy as the ass was too high up for a small white man to kiss :killingme



*Doing the gorge on the way to gisbourne was godlike - we really had a nice pace going trough there.



*Going to the East cape Lighthouse - gravel is my friend now, I can almost keep up with ChocolateWheels on the straights. Imma get me a GN and go adventure riding. :)



*3 hours or so of night riding yesterday to get back to whakatane. Those windy roads and so many 35k corners were quite a challenge in the dark. It was so cool. Had a few hairy moments but it was a huge learning curve.



*PocketCracker talking to Brass-Trebles parents ( not knowing who they were)--> QUOTE "Right, I'mm of for a shower and a wank, see ya" - saying it in their faces. That was a priceless moment. :devil2:



*Coming today back to auckland in the pouring rain was soo cool for me - was wearing my waterproof gear and had good tyres (not like Kyle :rolleyes:) and was warm and dry. felt untouchable :). Will ride in the rain any time from now on :)



*Going to PsychoTreads, going over the bridge we had a cop company who was wating for Pocketcracker or Music man to do somthing but they were good boys and copper was left empty handed :rolleyes:



*The burnout at PsychoTreads was cool :jerry: got a vid but gotta figure out some blurring issues and will post it up.



Big Ups to Gordon who came with the van and was our guardian angel. He is the man. I hope We will meet you again and will have the chance to buy you a beer or a box of. Your are the man Gordon. :niceone:


Resizing pics now - will upload in 15 min or so.

[TOTO]

Hi, I'm that gisborne guy
these are the photos and video I took:rolleyes:
Nice riding with you guys!

http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=OjfW8iF5efo

Hey Andy , it was great to meet you brother. So cool to have you with us. I feel sorry you were not with us for longer. I hope you will come to our West Cape tour next. Great vid too. Thanks. Ride with you soon.

[doozy]

It was a great ride, shame i couldnt do the gizzie bit but oh well ... the corro loop for the first time was scary, exciting, awesome, everything! I think I went through every emotion on that part of the ride. Looking forward to doing it again ... one of the highlights was definately Kyle's shit story, every time I smelled something funky on the ride back I wondered if it was coming from the side-ways gsxr I could see in front ...

Thanks Toto for organising and huge thanks to Gordon in the van! What a legend!

[musicman]

Awesome! I didn't know you were videoing otherwise I would have given the bike a few revs... hehe

If you were videoing you should have shot off ahead with the rest of the group then, instead of staying at the back with me and the GN's.


*Going to PsychoTreads, going over the bridge we had a cop company who was wating for Pocketcracker or Music man to do somthing but they were good boys and copper was left empty handed :rolleyes:

I thought you were right behind me, checked the mirror a few times and saw you and the pack right behind me with the cop beside me, then checked my mirrors again and the cop was right behind me and you guys were behind it! What happened there? You guys slow down?

[TOTO]

That wanker was going to clean me righ off because he didnt check hid blind spot and started pulling in my lane when I was following you. you would think he wuld do it since he is a cop. Afetr that i shook my head and mentally gave him the finger. Decided to ride behind him with my high beam on in his rear view mirror - so hopefully he sees me. fucking prick. Glad he didnt touch you guys dou.

[Just beGiNing 250]

Great weekend lads...

cracker had the tyres to prove it :rolleyes:

[pocketcracker]

fastest music man rode all weekend and it had to be racing a copper !

Quote " Phsyco treads asked me to Please refrain from doing burn outs and leaving darkies on there premises, Also they have no air conditioning in the building and the smoke rose into the building and sat ! ,,


I replyed Well then thats gotta be another 10% off as looks like you have my rubber sitting on ya shelfs so that must be a trade in ! , HEHEHHE

Got the post check , chain lube and scot oier filled , new tyres and a coffee for $399 Im friggin happy !

[TOTO]

Great weekend lads...

Actually... I think it was a she :rolleyes: (which explains the poor driving skills). Looked over when I was beside the cop car and saw the cop had neck/shoulder length hair, didn't see the face properly, but I don't think male cops have long hair?

[mapsanji]

Hey TOTO and guy's, thanx again for a awesome trip down to east cape glad to see you all made it safe home....and for pocketcracker...well it just won't be the same without him.

Martin it was great to have you with us. You were great guide trough tauranga. thats one city I would get lost so easy. Come to think about it I get lost everywhere easy :) LOL did not miss the chance to do it on this trip :D

Discovered some uncharted gravel teritory around Ruatoria :banana:

[Ragingrob]

Looks like you guys enjoyed the rest of your trip! Cheers for having me along on the first day, was a lot of fun. Haha that fog was interesting heading to Kopu! Gotta love the coro loop only part I could say that wasn't amazing would be the twisties coming up to Whitianga, they ones where the road is like falling apart. My front slipped out a couple of times through those corners cause it was getting air! Damn scary!

Ha, talking about roads falling apart, heading back to Auck via Miranda shit there's some shocking parts, Shingo, Badger and I just cruising round the corners and suddenly there's a massive kinda hole in the road measuring about a square metre! Managed to (just) avoid the damn pit.

Hey Badg sorry bout leaving you once the motorway began, just really wanted to get home ay lol had damn sore legs.

I must say, it only takes one trip into Auckland via the motorway to see how poor the driving ability is... Saw several cagers blindly changing lanes, swerving back into their lane when they realise a car is already there, people not letting others merge, useless indicating (or none), and 1 million people barely watching the road.

Anyway, cheers guys!

[TOTO]

It was shokking even more today when we were getting back. everyone in a hurry to get home from long weekend and just driving like they are on a holliday in india and have a death wish. Mind you I had to do a run to papatoe to see a my babe and sorry to say was kind of a dick but we all are at some point. :whocares:

[glice]

yea everyone is always trying to kill use ae.

man I wish i could have come to gizzy, the ride home from waihi was pretty boring besides the gorge. those kids at the gas station stayed with me till I left a bit after you guys, they wernt impressed with our lack of wheelys and burn outs, riding that chopper was a bit of a laugh.

any more photos to come, interesting photos at the kumara statue (something your not telling us toto? :lol:)

I spent most of the time on the way home by myself, but when I got to the motorway I spent ages with these guys on 600s doing about 150-170k! it was good fun.

[TOTO]

What time did you make it back to the Shore?

[glice]

What time did you make it back to the Shore?

got back around 430-5ish hung around in waihi for a while and stopped for a piss and to put warm gear on in ngatea and just cruzed most of the way.


I heard you were a bit of a dare davil

yea I had afew lose times during the day where i got a little silly :shit:, dam good day tho.

[TKDSKIP]

Cheers for organising a sweet ride TOTO.Really enjoyed the gorge on day 2 that was a steaming good pace you set. Good to meet the rest of the guys, hard luck with the chain Dirk, the GN racing was a hoot.
The roads down the coast are stunning if a little treacherous, big dips mid corner and stuff. Im sorry I missed the lighthouse but had a absolute blast going from Te Araroa to Opotiki, apart from the stock this has got to be one of the best roads I have ridden, 160kms of sssss. Huge day in the seat might need to upgrade the CBR seat squab. Cheers for the vid Andy(i need to get my taillights going)

Have fun guys catch you on the next one.

Yeah, there were some interesting patches on those roads alright, amazed we didnt have problems in the morning with all that fog and holes :eek:

No worries about leavin me behind, the poor ol ginny struggles a bit doing 110, especially up that long hill just as we hit the motorway. Besides, once ya hit the motorway there's no more wrong turns for me to make :D

Saw more than my fair share of bad driving on the way home too, but my highlight was passing two other guys on bikes (one a ZXR250, one a CBR250), go the mighty GN power! :laugh: I dont think they could believe they just got passed by a GN, and tucked in behind me for the rest of the way :2thumbsup

[Choco]

Nice riding with you guys!

Damn, I really do stick out the with Fluro on :pinch:

Thanks for another awesome trip! Kudos to Toto for organizing it but also to Pocket for his burnouts, Musicman for letting me ride the Zeal, Justbeginning for giving me a run for my money on the gravel, Bass-Treble for an epic GN race (until his chain broke :laugh:) and to all the other guys that came along!:niceone:

Oi, Pocket, we need to find a long, straight and dry road so I can try your GXSR :whistle:

Can't wait for the next one!

Choco.
P.s Still the fastest GN :first::woohoo:

would've been good to be with you up those hills heading to the lookout, i was absoltely smoking it once i got in the groove. we've gotta tag team it next coro loop :yes: (GN coro loop anyone? :D)
I was riding like crap after lunch (just wasnt in the zone, something felt weird, dunno if it was me or the bike) so thanks for chillin with me at ye` olde` snails pace. Always comforting to have some company :yes:

[Badger8]

Oi, Pocket, we need to find a long, straight and dry road so I can try your GXSR :whistle:

Ooh, and speaking of trying out bikes, took a ZXR250 for a test ride tonight :)
Loved the engine, hated the ergonomics. Just couldnt handle the peg position.
Just made me realise how good of a decision it was to go for the mighty GN! :2thumbsup
(Wouldn't say no to a proper blast on yer GSXF tho cracker ;) )

[glice]

Oi, Pocket, we need to find a long, straight and dry road so I can try your GXSR

na have a go on gravel to compare it to the gn :devil2:


The roads down the coast are stunning if a little treacherous, big dips mid corner and stuff.

that sort of stuff doesnt scare me so much anymore, just ride it out and shell be right kind of attitude works well for me.

did you guys go right to the light house? or just as far as the photos?

I was chucking around the idea of a GN corro, Could be a fun thing to do on a clear weekend...
I know what you mean about not getting into the groove sometimes, didnt feel it once on this trip which was awesome :D

:shifty:

There was one hell of a drop at one stage! Bottomed out my rear mid corner and my feet and ass said goodbye to the bike for half a second :blink:

Nah, there was this dirt walking track.... but it was locked :weep:

Yeah, it was really weird, first time i've ever really had it like that eh. Just was NOT feeling it all afternoon. Stuffing up corners (especially entries) real bad, and messing up shifts etc. Didnt enjoy the run over the hills back to Kopu like i should have, just concentrating real hard to make it through in one piece with a car up my ass that didnt wanna get past. Was just glad to get home and get off the bike (:shit: never thought i'd hear myself say that!) Was bloody glad to have some company for that return trip eh, thanks again Rob and Shingo! :niceone:

The cape reinga tour was great on the other hand, got better throughout the day, every day, and was really in the groove the whole way, was awesome. probably just as well i didnt go the whole way then

All good man I was just cruising aswell, didn't feel as into it either for some reason, Shingo took that last hill hard it was good to see! Lol that's why I opened it up on those first few long hills, to get a bit of a gap before he caught up and overtook! Man that sun on the way home was pretty terrible huh, glad I had my tinted visor ay! Bloody Shaun managed to get his sunnies outta his pocket and put them on while riding, I couldn't work out what he was doing ay haha!

It sometimes happens to me, I usually just pull over somewhere pretty for a break and have something to eat (eating helps fix lots of things :yes:).

You would have come out of it at some stage, pitty you didnt come coz you missed an awesome race between me and Bass-treble :jerry:

Oh yeah, gotta love the tinted visor. I dunno how i ever rode without it eh :)
Would've been interesting to see the ol sunnies trick. I have seen it done before, and dunno how they didnt crash :eek5:, i have enough trouble doing it with gloves on when fully stopped and using two hands!

[glice]

yea i almost ran off the road twice :pinch: when I just lost my grove entering the corner and then got straight back into it, it was weird. (i actully left the tarmac and almost went off a big cliff/drop!)


There was one hell of a drop at one stage! Bottomed out my rear mid corner and my feet and ass said goodbye to the bike for half a second

Nah, there was this dirt walking track.... but it was locked

I get bounced out of my seat quite a bit, used to scare me.

oh too bad you couldnt get to it, would be cool to go round to all of them in nz.

[shingo]

All good man I was just cruising aswell, didn't feel as into it either for some reason, Shingo took that last hill hard it was good to see! Lol that's why I opened it up on those first few long hills, to get a bit of a gap before he caught up and overtook! Man that sun on the way home was pretty terrible huh, glad I had my tinted visor ay! Bloody Shaun managed to get his sunnies outta his pocket and put them on while riding, I couldn't work out what he was doing ay haha!

I remembered the downhill section heading back to Kopu well as i chased a white Harley through there on my last coro loop. I was keeping up with her too apart from the straight bits, when a twist of her wrist would open up a huge gap bloody quickly.

Plus i knew they were the last corners before we hit the boring straights heading through Miranda and sh1.

Putting my sunnies on was fun to do, almost dropped them a couple times. But i got them on in the end, even though i had to let go of the bars for a bit to do so.

All up it was a good ride for me, best part being the hill heading towards Tairua. Rob set a nice smooth pace with myself, the guy on the NSR250 and the guy on the hornet (sorry forgot your names) following. Many will disagree with me on this but i like that hill the best and will be going in the opposite direction next time.

[glice]

Oh yeah, gotta love the tinted visor

I just run a clear one with glasses, because i ride in bright and dark.

I just run a clear one with glasses, because i ride in bright and dark.

Bro, I found out last week that I can fit my clear visor inside the pillion seat with the visor going over both sides down the inside on the fairings! So I always have both visors with me. I was stoked when I came up with the idea haha!

I havent got one for my shoei yet, only had the helmet a couple weeks. I am pricing up some from overseas, as i want a gold mirrored one, but cant justify paying $165 from the shops over here.

[Badger8]

I just run a clear one with glasses, because i ride in bright and dark.

I used to, but found the sunnies cut down on my peripheral vision a lot (had to screw my head riiiiiiiight around for a proper head check), and were too dark when ya rode into shadows. The tinted visor i find is good in 99% of situations, but there's not a lot you can do riding straight into the sun :(
Have been caught out a couple of times after dark without my clear visor on me, the ol eyes water a bit on the ride home. And now heading into winter, the face freezes up a bit :pinch:

I hope that "smooth" doesn't mean slow!!! Was a bit touchy on the brakes that entire hill ay but oh well. Spent the entire time trying to work out who was behind me, I was sure his nsr was white lol but the front was like red!

Hey I'm keen to do a reverse coro loop sometime, as a group or just a couple of us would be fun too. Want another SMC learner ride soon to get James going open road on his Bandit too :).

[shingo]

It's a comfort thing for me, I find glasses cut into the side my head after a while.

[Ragingrob]

ha, sweet. I dont even have a tinted visor, I find glasses work fine. is there any benifit in wearing a tinted visor?

My glasses wouldn't fit in my helmet without killing my face so I grabbed a visor, damn nice on the eyes, I wear it most of the time and love it. Enjoy being able to give cagers a stare when I'm annoyed and they can't tell what I look like... Uncertainty = Fear :devil2:

id be keen to do a reverse loop, never been that way.

yea shadows are a bit scary sometimes, but i dont have any issues with my peripheral vision with glasses.

[glice]

It's a comfort thing for me, I find glasses cut into the side my head after a while.

my glasses have thin arms, so slide down in between my helmet easily.

[Badger8]

ha, sweet. I dont even have a tinted visor, I find glasses work fine. is there any benifit in wearing a tinted visor?

Glasses can get uncomfortable on longer stints (depends on the glasses tho i suppose)
Not such an option for those of us who wear prescription specs (tho i try to ride with contacts as much as possible anyways)
Less glare / odd reflections (i found them at certain light angles with the sunnies)
absolutely zero blockage of vision (again, will depend on the shades)
no crafty angles for the light to get on your eyes directly (again, depends on the glasses)

Personally, i find it a less distracting and more constant tinting of the view, which allows me to concentrate more on the road. Every part inside the helmet is tinted, and my eyes seem to adjust better to it.

Best suggestion would be try someone's lid that has a tinted on it (or pinch someones visor who has a matching helmet), and see if you like it. Personal preference i guess

ooh, yeah, i TOTALLY forgot the main one. INTIMIDATION! :devil2:
I'm not atall a meanie, but it makes an unbelievable difference to other peoples attitudes toward you when you have a tinted visor. People give you a wide berth, dont mouth of at you so much when you split past them. And if someone pisses you off, just point your helmet at them as if you're staring daggers and watch them STFU :2thumbsup

The pace was such that each corner just flowed on from the previous one. Have you ever read that article called "The Pace"? You pretty much followed that apart from the small uses of the brakes.

I'm keen for a reverse coro loop too, jst have to find a nice clear weekend sometime. Maybe during the break between semester 1 and 2.

[shingo]

If done right, you can also check out the ladies and not look like a dirty perve.

[Choco]

I used to wear shades and a clear visor but my old shades broke and the combination of new shades + clear visor meant everything went rainbow coloured and all the white lines on the road disappeared :shit:.

Tinted visor also means I can ride with glasses which is convenient.

I'm undercover bro :P na thats my waterproof jacket/windbraker. Works miracles. It was funny too , every time I stood by the side of the road, cagers slowed right down. Lane splitting is also very very easy with it. the cages split like that time in the bible when morpheous split the sea so all the slaves could go trough to the other side and work in the strawberry farms. The details of the bible are a bit fuzzy to me but you get the point.:lol:

Its not a stick man, its the kumara god. And dont you abuse him , he is my mate now. :yes:

Yep , you should have seen the burnouts. After that we had a run with some girl racers in a BMW that looked like a Jaguar (like a GN and a harley - private joke) and the girls were kind enough to play with us :rolleyes:

O the Gixer 10 000 you mean - Orgasmic sex on wheels. Now I understand why whenever PocketCracker gets off his bike tries to shag everything that moves. That bike just gets your basic animal insticts in you to come out.
When I got back to my bike and started riding I was like : "my bike is crap slow, I want the gixer back" :crybaby:

Na he told me about that one with his bike being stolen by a homosexual bear, or was it the one that it was stolen by a transexual beaver ? :blink:

Weird dreams that boy has. Choco , remember in your dream to chain the bike to something with the chain I showed you today in PsychoTreads.

Oh I didn't hear about that one! The first night it was falling asleep on the side of the road on the bike, then waking up right outside the backpackers which wasn't there before, and the second night it was going into tight corners way too hot and slamming on the brakes (at which time he supposedly hit the bottom of my bunk, but as I was sleeping I didn't feel a thing).

Yes, he has some weird dreams!

[TOTO]

Wonder if he is taking any strong medication at the moment ?

Yeah, you got your first experience of an IL4 that night, pretty big difference between them and thumpers eh? Even though they're both 250cc.

Wasn't Neo the saviour though, not Morpheous? All Morpheous did was ask Neo which pill he wanted, the blue or the red, and spent the rest of the time getting his ass kicked. :lol:

I thought the driver was a guy? I'm pretty sure it was, maybe he did go up there to shag the girl in the car (like we joked about when we saw a car coming) but we were doing burnouts there which ruined it for him, which was why he was being rude to us!

Steve doing a burn out.. and I always thought he was a good boy heh heh heh.

Very nice.

Kyle being as much of a prat as ever, good to see :2thumbsup

Looks like an awsome ride, well done Todd. Nice organisation. We'll have to go to the pub some time to sort out our next ride aye mate, I don't think there is a west cape and definately not with any decent roads.. but i'm thinking down to Wellington or a whole West Coast tour. Unfortunately i'm gonna be out for bloody ages..

This whole business is not looking good.. Me with no money, the guy who hit me doesn't look like he's gonna pay anytime soon. And it's all just not good for me.. Though i'm glad you guys had a good trip.

Nice one!

[Ragingrob]

Have you got the cops onto it man? Is the dude ever gonna pay up?

[Nagash]

Have you got the cops onto it man? Is the dude ever gonna pay up?

Yeah, i've got a police report and all the rest.

But it ain't the cops that get me the money.. it's the disputes tribunal.

And to enter a case I have to get more of his details (just his REAL name and his home phone, I have the rest, and the cops said they would go get that but my phone line was down today so I couldn't check..)

I rang his mobile the other day to get the details but as soon as I said who i was the cunt hung up on me so obviously he isn't gonna make it easy...

My theory is when I finally get to court he ain't gonna show, so then he'll be required to pay me $10 a week.. which for 4.6 grand is probably gonna last near enough the rest of my life..

Life's shit..

[Ragingrob]

Bloody hell, that's rats arse mate! hope the summons and the cops knockin on his door etc are enough to scare him into showing up to court. Little shits like that often get a scare and suddenly cooperate when they realise they're not gonna get away with it.

Hope it works out well man! :yes:

The first night it was falling asleep on the side of the road on the bike, then waking up right outside the backpackers which wasn't there before, and the second night it was going into tight corners way too hot and slamming on the brakes (at which time he supposedly hit the bottom of my bunk, but as I was sleeping I didn't feel a thing).

Yes, he has some weird dreams!

:pinch:


Choco will def find that piece of rd for ya and send you off on the land rocket ! Just promise to wear protection , im still scrapping toto jizz off my seat !

:devil2:


ChocolateWheels, you even stated that you were faster on straights and I was faster in the corners so we still haven't decided the fastest one.
Did I just say too much?


Hm... might need a rematch at some stage :jerry:


OOh, she's a dirty girl, isn't she? ;)

DISTANCES that Gordon recorded were

Day 1 : 481km
Day2 : 627km
Day3 : 314km

Total of 1422km

As I said this was on the van so I imagine that Kyles rear tyre did a little bit more than that.

DAMN that was a long second day! must've been some sore butts that night eh? :buggerd: :rofl:

[zxcvbnm]

I would have done 1800km then and I also used a liter of 2stroke oil.

I'm keen on West coast with tents for the next one:cold: It's only 333km (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=Great+South+Rd&daddr=new+plymouth&sll=-41.244772,172.617188&sspn=32.660422,82.265625&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=8) to New Plymouth.

there was noone as sensitive as you Badger, they all hard buggers and were not complaining about their butts.:devil2: We bikers for crisist sake, who said comfort comes into the equasion. We were fairly tired but not as much that would have missed on reverse coro loop if the weather was good.

Working on it brother. One dud showed me some roads on his map stat had "HEAVEN" written next to them so its gonna happen. :psst:

Tents are an option, and we will get a :mega: to help wake up process :)

I forgot to mention another higlight of my trip: On day 3 everyone was awake except PocketCracker so I go into his room and get next to him and shout as loud as I could GET UP . It was then that I noticed something jump up from the bed next to PocketCracker - it was one of the tourists we had to share the room with. She got an early wake up call :killingme and she wan't happy about that :stupid:

Good ol Kiwifruit :)
Yeah, i was a little shocked when i saw stock fron tire, then looked at the road surface and realised "Yeah, i got pegs down on roads like that with stock front"
It's so funny looking at the lean angle, and how much of it just comes down to hanging off. Just proves how great the GN really is :first:
