Under 250cc group ride - anyone keen?

**Addict** · 5th December 2009, 23:40

I went on my first group ride last thursday on my cbr 250, felt like a bit of a knob around all thest frigin fast bikes so thought i might put this out there.

I am keen on a easy cruise with other bikes of similar power, thinking something like a 1 to 2 hour jaunt through the country around some nice corners.

Possibly the coast road to miranda or papakura-clevedon-maraetai-botany finish up at cock and bull or something?

Suggestions?

Mike

Final route:

Depart 10:30
Stop clevedon & Kaiawa & finally Cock & Bull.

(AARRGGHH, fuck it I am having insane difficulty tryiny to stick in a google map!!! so fuck it!)

Chapel rd -whitford - maraetai - clevedon - kaiawa - miranda - maramarua - hunua - clevedon - wellsford - botany.

Hope to see you all there and safe riding.

Mike

Yes, would like a cruise at a 250cc speed.

But don't give up on the Thursday night rides, I'll be back with the south auckland lot in a couple of weeks, I ride a bit like the nana I am and it would be great to have some company at the back.
Don't worry about keeping up with the big sports bikes thats not what the group rides are about

Ok, next sunday then.

Route suggestions?

Probably no good for me next sunday,but I reckon we should have plenty more learner rides,cos you can't compare a piddly 45hp against all those 180hp+ Sports bikes that most of the experienced riders have.

Yes that is why im as slow as a snail I can only go 20kph max boosted out with nitrous so I will be TEC sweet.

**steel001** · 6th December 2009, 15:06

Keen to join the ride as well if thats cool, whereabouts are ya headed?

Kaiaua is always a good ride, or could go further say Kaiaua , Miranda, Ngatea, Thames.....Pauanui

If you can convince everyone to do this route : kaukop, wellsford, mangawai then back to silverdale I will buy you lunch, you cant say no to country fried chicken.
