:mega: "HEAR YE HEAR YE" 250 owners from Tauranga, KatiKati,Te Puke.
I went for a ride today TGA over the Kaimai's to Putaruru, Tokaroa, Taupo for lunch and back through Rotorua Via Pye's pa road and home. Great day good ride. Would have been even better to have had some fellow riders for company. Is there any of you 250 rides out there that might be interested in a regular ride some place. Young, old, aged, and infirm all welcome. I'm talking about a cruise type ride.:calm: Anyone who want's a hell for leather ride don't bother not interested!!
The idea is not how fast we can get there and back but that we do get there and back IN ONE PIECE WITH NO BLOOD.
Give me some feed back and we will see what we can string together.:soon:

Hiya,

PM sent... There are heaps of bikers in and around Tauranga so there is always something happening. Also, take a look at meetings and events for the Tauranga crew.

Cheers,
M

Did the Tauranga - Paeroa - Te Aroha - Kaimai - Tauranga loop myself today, just because I could.

Not on a 250 but not noted for going fast, often out with my wife somewhere near on her 250.

Was a fantastic day for a ride (but then they all are!!).

When you thinking of going?
Wife and I are talking about maybe doing it Thursday (while kids are at school).

Took 2hr 15 from home to home today 180 ish km if I recall.

Another one we do often is Pyes Pa rd to Nongotaha, turn right, go over the Mamaku's (SH5), turn right again (SH28) then home over Kaimais. Similar length of ride. Great on a nice (any) day.

yeah I'm keen on a weekday ride if nothing breaks here. The chatroom is a great place to meet up before a ride, or the evening before.

Hey Highlander.
As much as I would like to be riding during the week I still have to work. Damb blast and F**k it. It is the only way I can find to keep the tank filled. Would have to be the weekend for me.
Yes I like the Pyes Pa, Mamaku, Kimai's run myself. I have an ex-sister in law (long story) in Nonogotaha (also a rider) go over just for coffee and home again.
Another good ride is Kaimai's to Karapiro turn off right at Karapiro road to Taotaoroa-Taotaoroa road back to highway 29. You can hang a left and go back to the Kaimai's via TePoi or cross 29 onto Totoman road to 27 hang a right then left on Langlands road to Okororie then Okororie road to 28 and then back to the Kaimai's.

That is the up side of shift work, days off mid week when every one else has to work :cool:
Down side is the number of weekends I'm either working or sleeping, mates all off for a ride and I'm sitting in the office thinking what a great day for a ride. :crybaby:
