View Full Version : Auckland: Maha 400
Maha
10th September 2008, 15:41
Looking like a rather spankin' weekend will fall upon us this coming weekend.
I have a feeling Sunday may be the better of the two.
Leaving Warkworth Mobil at 10am.
Destination is Kaikohe.
From there, whoever wants to do the forrest can.
Alternative is back down twin bridges or SH1 to Waipu/Langs/Mangawhai.
First regroup will be Maungatapere.
Second regroup at the bridges.

I have a feeling sunday may be the better of the two.
I will limit this ride to the first 400, no exceptions, no late comers.
One other thing, i have no idea at this stage as to where the hell i want to go but who cares, at least we are out there doing it right?...
Anyone can do this ride, no special needs to be intimidated about my 'powerful as' honda, it goes slow too ya know!

Paparoa rd is rough as at the south end due to repairs and subsidence, but there was no loose metal around.
Old Russell Rd is in good nic, only one wash out.

Do you lot have any faint idea where you're going to? I'm off to north Auckland / Kaipara way on sunday trying to learn how to ride my new toy in the gravel and if you lot are stopping anywhere I may be able to drop in and put some faces to names.
Vaque hints or clues are all I need otherwise I'm sure at some time in the afternoon I will be looking for a pub, probably Warkworth or Puhoi on the way home.

Here is the 'txt' er 'email' er whatever (not a pm :innocent:) I got from Mr D...
Mangakahia (Twin Bridges) is not too bad at the moment. Not much it the way off road works, but watch out for the potholes and peametal washed on ta the road, especially leading up to and going North for the Twin Bridges. Road it with Laava and the Use-less-ly Last Sunday. Best thing they did was stopping the brigdes to regroup as it brought the pace down past the bridges. There was a few messy corners (potholes & peametal on blind apexes) just North of the bridges which needed ya Bike brain turned on.

shite i thought as much.
thought i was late so i sorta gassed it a bit.
i found a couple of corners just before the bridges that were a bit tighter than i saw,had to back it in a little.
a little dodgy a km either side of the bridges eh.
lucky i came home highway 1, as i blew the left fork seal,she didn't like the lefthanders after that,the wrists are feelin it a bit.
nice ride tho,i will have to do it again

Ok, I admit it, I made up a word today.
Well it is not a made up word as such, it has a real clear meaning, specially used they way I did :yes:
My made up word was the result of combining two words together, I promise I will try harder to formulate sentences in future.
The result of my lazy mouth/brain combination saw me very clearly ask Draco if she wanted a root? :o
Not sure which one of us was more surprised actually :lol: there was a moment of absolute silence before we both started laughing :killingme
Mind you she is Hawt, hawt, hawt, loved the lap dance babe :love:
What a fantastic day out! Good to meet a few new faces too, and extra good to see some we have not seen in ages!
The two word combo that tripped me up today;
rain suit - root
See anyone could have done that! :sunny:

it's good to ride up north every now and then; reminds me why i rarely bother
too much traffic, too much road works, not enough options
south is always better

Maungatapere and Paihia, where we had a pit stop. Lunch at Paihia, we finally found it.......eh Laava???.....:whistle:

I prefer the picture of the pretty 'white' bike myself.....;) and as for that photo of those two rude women I think Laava could sell that one.
Great day with a great bunch. I find the wee Harley doesnt really like falling into potholes too much. And as for those damn cows taking up the entire road...I am sure they will make great steaks one day.
The traffic came to a screeching holt just past Puhoi for no reason that I could see. Nice to be able to just go round the outside of them.

Nice ride with pleasant company. Cheers all.
I went to Doubtless Bay after I left you lot at the Paihia turnoff.
Finally got back to Ak. on Mon night.
Avon Storm on rear is worn out. Less than 5000kms. Won't be putting them back on.
Hey Laava, when I saw you down the bank I thought you had binned. Couldn't figure out how your bike got where it was for an instant. Kind of spoiled the shot as I stood the bike up and slowed considerably. Could have got a good lean on if I realised what you were really up to.:woohoo:
