250cc Northland Loop - SATURDAY - 10 JANUARY 2009

[TOTO]

Ride Status: ON



What: NORTHLAND LOOP (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&saddr=auckland&daddr=helensville+to:wellsford+to:dargaville+to:op ononi+to:kaikohe+to:twin+bridges+to:whangarei+to:w aipu+to:Mangawhai,+Northland+to:wellsford+to:helen sville+to:auckland&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=-36.13122,174.468384&sspn=1.561681,2.469177&ie=UTF8&ll=-36.117909,174.14978&spn=1.561945,2.469177&z=9) (note map is just for general directions) - like coro loop but up north and more twisties and more sweepers. Basic route - auckland - wellsford - dargaville (gonna try to void the long straights by swapping for back road twisties) - waipua forest - Opononi (LUNCH PLACE) - Kaikohe - twin bridges - Wellsford - Auckland.

When: Saturday 10th January


Where: Meet at shell westgate (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=88469&d=1204718424) 8:30am for a 9am take off.


Who: Aimed at 250cc bikers but larger bikes more than wellcome to join. I'm doing it on my 250cc hornet as I like the way I can run the twisties. Ride not recommended for people with less than 6 months riding experience.


Pace: Licence keeping speeds - I'm not gonna do licence loosing speeds. Everyone else is welcome to ride as they like. This is a "ride whatever pace is comfourtable for you" ride - meaning that slow cruiser type people are more than wellcome as are MotoGP riders... If there are MotoGP riders comming, feel free to run ahead of Mr. TOTO and wait on the turn off or whatever makes you happy.


What to expect: twisties, sweepers, more twisties, more sweepers, twisties, twisties....did I mention twisties...:).


Stops: every 100 - 120km for fuel , and lucnh stop at Opononi :drool:

Warning: people are free to ride as they like, however, anyone who endangers me or any of our fellow riders will NOT be tolerated! You been warned!


Expected time back: late afternoon - 5-6pm...


Note: People wishing to join for just part of the ride are also more than welcome to come along.


Note 2: Ride is weather dependent. If storms or yucky weather is expected, ride will be postponed for the following saturday. Please keep an eye on the RIDE STATUS on top of this post... any changes to the ride status will be updated in thread and in this first post.

[TOTO]

modified it just for you Badger :)

[Reido]

keen! hopefully this time the weather will be better =]

edit.. noticed its "Northland loop" not Coro loop
still keen =]

[TOTO]

well yes, hoping so. that why its weather dependent. in saying that you can cane twisties in the wet and its sometimes more adrenalin, knowing you have the unknown Xfactor. Xfactor being - "Just how far over do my tyres let go...?" lol

I'll be in for another 250 ride! You guys don't cut each other up and can cruise below the 140 mark... I likey :)

[sinned]

827kms in 8 to 9 hours? And stay at licence safe speeds! I don't think so. To be back by 6.00pm means a 91Kph overall average.

Nice ride wish I could do it. Just plan for it to take a lot longer or ride really fast with short stops.

dont believe google maps. this is an ESTIMATE route. and google put some roads where I didnt need it. its about 500 - 600 K tops, with decent stops for relaxation.

[fizbin]

This ride has been tested before and well approved. Was good fun last time.

We did it last time where it was doing it's half sun, half showers behaivour and it was still enjoyable.


Hope to see a good group there i guess, will let you know next year sometime. (Love saying that at the end of every year)

Yeah, that map is completely stuffed up, but does cover the general route. I think it's doubled back on itself a few too many times, heheh

[xwhatsit]

Oh goodie, I liked joining in last time. Apart from those Dargaville flats it's a lovely route.

Waipua Forest -- fuck yes.

Better get a new chain before I go!

[TOTO]

More acurate map of the trip (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&saddr=auckland&daddr=helensville+to:wellsford+to:dargaville+to:op ononi+to:kaikohe+to:twin+bridges+to:whangarei+to:w aipu+to:Mangawhai,+Northland+to:wellsford+to:helen sville+to:auckland&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=-36.13122,174.468384&sspn=1.561681,2.469177&ie=UTF8&ll=-36.117909,174.14978&spn=1.561945,2.469177&z=9), but still just rough directions. Details are not noted on map. So trip is about 550 - 600k :D

will be avoiding the dargaville straights this time round.

I'd like to think I learn from the past ;)


edit: and also no planning on going trough Whangarei either, it was just more visual to plot on map, will be taking some back twisties instead.

[z99]

Hey is that for the New rider?I am going to do my road code today

[TOTO]

Hey is that for the New rider?I am going to do my road code today

I wouldn't recommend this trip for a novice rider z99, as it is likely to expose you to many road conditions and situations you are not ready for yet. This means that you will be in a very likely situation to crash and hurt yourself and possibly someone else. Therefore I would NOT recommend this ride for you at this stage :no:.

There will be plenty of Learner friendly rides trouought the summer, which I already know have been planned by a few of my mates on KB, so you will have your chance to get acustomed to open road riding in safe and secure manner, which will in turn prepare you for long rides like this in the future.:yes:

All the best with your test z99 :niceone:

[Neon]

I'd love to come along but unfortunately I'm out of town until late on the 10th so I'll miss it :pinch:

Damnit I'm away practically the whole Christmas/NY period and not on the bike despite my best efforts to make it so. :angry2:

Definitely up for some pootling action after that though. :woohoo: bring it on.

Me and my boobs are there!!!!!!!

[TOTO]

Me and my boobs are there!!!!!!!

don't forget your bike...:rolleyes:

[Reido]

didnt you learn anything from the last time you mentioned boobs.
this thread'll get hijacked into a "show us ya boobs" thread.

XD

[Nagash]

this thread'll get hijacked into a "show us ya boobs" thread.

If you insist.

To all the fairly newer riders considering going,

It is a LONG ride. And riding while exhausted and you still have a couple hundred kilometres to go is NOT fun.

So just think about what the longest ride you've done is. There's gonna be plenty of other rides this summer.

[rie]

Me want a bike, I in.


EJ can has motorsickle?

I'll be there - bike may or may not be themed with tinsel again - wait and see!

[Dealer]

Great ride on saturday guys. I cant believe our luck with the rain.
This ride sounds good, im keen. Have done the sh16 to mangawai ride before. only been from kaikohe to dargaville by car so will be good to do on a bike.

Already looking forward to riding through the forest shade.... damn these black leathers and summer! :sunny::sweatdrop

No liner in mine, so if its cold - your balls freeze, if its hot - your nipples melt.

I'm keen on this ride - I'll just be back from a 4 day pootle around the NI and rearing to go. Having just had a ride on my 250 cruiser there is no f'n way I'm taking that POS for this ride. I'll be on my 1200.

(Sorry to all 250 riders. Yes; my name is David and I am addicted to torque)

[madbikeboy]

Like a lawyer and bullshit
Like Ron Jeremy and a fat chick,
Like my evil ex and a shopping mall

I'm in.

Is it okay if I bring Scoot? I'll disconnect three sparkulators...

[Qkchk]

Im sure Qkkid will be pleased to have somebody to keep him company on the ride. As for me, I'll be hanging with the 250's. :2thumbsup

And who knows.. after christmas I may even have enough dosh for a new tire!

How ever with New Years piss to buy it's highly unlikely haha.

I tried calling the aa once, but they just kept going on about towing my car.. and I don't even have a car! Figured they were more drunk then I was so I gave it a miss..

[glice]

Oh definitely. I was just meaning it'd be no fun lagging behind because I could go out and do that any day by myself whereas with a group ride I'm keen to meet some like minded people, and hope to learn a thing or two from 'em all.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. Let's hope we have mint weather! :sunny:

[Nagash]

Huzzah, well Santa Claus was good to me.

Got that new front tyre, can't wait to run it in on the road trip i'm taking down to the coromandel tommorow.. in the wet... Riding it home in this weather with a pillion was interesting enough.

Oh well, means i'll be riding even harder on this one if I get the day off.

[TOTO]

Wicked Josh. Will be good fun :niceone:

And this is just general directions map. some of the stuff on it we will miss and we will be taking some shortcuts, so dont be a chicken and come for a play.

[DarkLord]

[TOTO]

Ah I see.

Yup I'm keen. Will ask Gordy if he's keen too.

[DarkLord]

Hahaha you mean Raj I take it?

Don't call him that or his head will get even bigger :laugh:

He's just got a dirtbike but I imagine he'll still be up for some epic road riding.

At a glance I'd say it's about even, but speeds should be the same/similar so wont be too spread out. :scooter:

um.... where were we meant to register?
but 29 is awesome... should be a good ride, if any of you bring bad weather with you i will not be impressed... I didn't ride with any of you over christmas and had the most gorgeous days for riding, so yes it will be all your fault, its not like the weather is uncontrollable or anything!

Your exactly right Matt :niceone:

Don't you have some flight forcast websites from that you pilots use, that are more acurate for at least a week ahead ?

[MarkH]

Cool, I'll ride my Suzuki Burgervan.

600 or so kms shouldn't be too bad - I have ridden over 1000 in one day (Auckland to Christchurch).

Nah, not that I have access to anyway. The accurate forecasts I get are for specific to Airports and forecast up to 24 hours ahead.... which is more than I need since my flights are never more than 3-4 hours anyway :Punk:

I just keep an eye on the Tasman satellite and try to guess what's coming.... usually more accurate than the TV weather :laugh:

I wonder if that's one of the Scooters that has fooled me in the past! They're getting a lot bigger, and on several occasions I 've given them the Biker wave thinking it was a VFR only to find some little old lady looking at me like "wtf is he doing?" :stupid:

I also came across a Spyder on the motorway yesterday.... now those are just.... I don't know.... weird?

Busa's are definitely welcome... as long as you don't mind people gawking and drowling over your bike... let alone the ones like EJ who will finger the entire thing!

[TOTO]

just wondering if I'll be ok on this ride with only 2 months riding but I have just completed Auckland-ChCh-Auckland in 8 riding days?

There will be many things you have not come accross on the road yet and it puts you in a very bad situation that could cause you to get hurt , hence I would not recommend this ride for you.


there will be plenty of new rider friendly rides in very close future i.e a few weeks, so it would be nice if we get to ride with you on those.

[prettybillie]

When is the latest time you will make a decision of when the ride is on or not?

[GreyAngel]

I just checked the map again and yeah.. even if roads are good - 620km is way too much for me for one day...

[Cr1MiNaL]

you can call valentino rossi to come for a play too...;)


Hahaha you mean Raj I take it?

Don't call him that or his head will get even bigger :laugh:

He's just got a dirtbike but I imagine he'll still be up for some epic road riding.

Did someone call? :scooter: On that note someone I know has met Rossi, that's so not fair :argh:

I might be riding dirty clay tracks this sat but if the weathers mint and I feel like a play I will come. :woohoo:

[Dakara]

Did someone call? :scooter: On that note someone I know has met Rossi, that's so not fair :argh:


My other half has a picture with her and Rosi... even more not fair! :doh:

But yea, weathers looking baaaaad.... good thing me and Toto did about 550k's today :niceone:

Damn, better take it easy on friday night now! :doh:

[TOTO]

yea , I few drops dont bother me either :cool:

[Dakara]

To be honest, with the amount of melted tar on the roads from the heat this week, a few spits would probably be worse than a full on down pour!

Cheers

[TOTO]

youll be sweet i did the 250 coro loop with only 2 months exp and 2k

I dont think you should give an advise like that given that you probably havent been troughout the northland loop.:oi-grr:

The major diference is that coromandel loop is a tourist road with best condition of road surface and signage, while northland loop is maintaned less and has many more hazards.


Ive come down with the flu :( Having a sickie at home today, will see how I feel for tomorrow. Good chance I wont be firing on all cylinders. :doctor:

Bugger.

[GSXR Trace]

man tar bleeds are gonna be brutal... with the few hot days we have had, and the fact that its only suppose to get down to 18 tonight... means they will still be a hazard even early in the morning as won't have submerged and cooled again
