hey so i i geuss we shuld get this organised, ive got alot of study to do this weekend so i thought we could keep it local, as an initial idea of a ride, who'd be keen to meet up out west ways, like blockhouse bay or titirangi and do scenic drive then head to helensville from there? lots of twisties including scenic which is tight and helensville which has 200+ kph sweepers (not that we will go that fast =p). ANYONE KEEN!!!!????

I thought it was...

nah but my point was that even though he has a faster bike, which can accelerate faster than mine, even with some good straight bits I caught up to him in the twisties. But yea I suppose its sorta a silly thing to say since it only has to do with how good ones riding is and I happen to be better at cornering than him. So cc's is irrelevant
