South Auckland Riders Saturday Auckland Ride

**DidJit** · 28th December 2010, 07:28

Yo! Just seeing what the interest would be in a SARSAR excursion to HD on the 3rd of next month (next Monday)?

If not the track, then maybe one of our "normal" rides. I hear Diggyduo has been exploring roads for us up north and would like to show us his finds.

P.S. Great photos, Din! Looks like y'all had a good day.

I'm in either way......and keen before than for a ride too when the wx clears.

Din, you thinking of mortgaging the house and getting a new Duke 1198?

I try few times negotiating that with my wife, always end up with me getting hiding.
Be good to catchup with you, before you disappear again.

That I am — you just can't do on the road what you can do on the track. Having said that, I think the general consensus is that we go for one of our rides somewhere on the 3rd. I need to save for CSS and my rego next month anyway. And it seems there may be a few others joining us for a ride as well.

Are forum newbies welcome on these rides guys? Arrived in Beachlands from the UK after my missis decided she wanted to come home and loving it so far, especially the weather! Bought a new Honda Predator just before Christmas which I'm still breaking in and I need to get some miles in so that I can get the first service out of the way. Be good to meet some Kiwi bikers and take a look at some good roads, how long does the Coro loop take to ride?

Welcome to KB, Badgerclarke.

Newbies are welcome as long as you remember the mantra, "Ride your own ride."

Don't try to keep up if the pace is too much — the Leader will always wait at intersections for everyone and the Tail End Charlie brings up the rear no matter what the pace of the other riders is in the group. Conversely, respect the pace set by the leader and don't try to hurry anyone along. Also, check out the Group Ride Guide.

The Coro Loop is one of the best motorcycling routes in NZ (although at peak holiday times less so). It takes about 5–6 hours to complete from our rendezvous (not that we're ever in a hurry to get it over and done with — the scenery is just fantastic!)
