Dunedin 250s

[blairh]

Hi guys! I'm keen to go for a good ride tomorrow (Saturday), nothing too insane but up for a bit of fun.. maybe head south, or in to Central a bit.. Roxburgh/Lawrence etc.. Weather forecast is looking fantastic so I'd say just take it as it comes.

Anyone keen to come with me? It's much more fun riding with others and I'm keen to meet a few more local 250 riders!

If you're keen, post in here or PM me and we can work out a route that suits.


Those on bigger bikes of course welcome to come too but I'm aiming this at the more n00b riders that aren't quite fast enough for the main Dunedin Rides thread yet! =)

Hi

Yeah I'd definitely be keen but I'm still waiting for my bloody bike to get fixed. They're waiting on another part to come in from Japan so they say. Maybe in a few weeks when it's running and legal (rego, wof). It's annoying too because I'm heading up to central this weekend anyway to go fruit picking but now have to drive my mum's corona.

[blairh]

Oh gutted, was hoping you'd be able to come - we need to meet eventually! haha.. what's wrong with your bike? Gimme a PM when it's back up and running.

Hi Blair

Yeah, It'd be good to go for a ride. Bit tied up tomorrow, I'm sorry to say, but I'd be keen to take a raincheck on that...

Taieri Plains makes for a good ride, so long as there aren't too many impatient tin-tops out and about. What route did you have in mind?

Cheers

Wasn't really sure, was just keen to get on the bike, hit the road and see where I end up! I've only been on a couple of big rides before so probably sticking to fairly main routes.. down to Milton, head inland towards Roxburgh.. see how far we can go before we have to come back!

I've gotta be back in town by about 5pm at the latest (goin out for tea) so probably leave mid morning.

I'm always up for a ride though, so PM me when you're free =)

Hey Blair,

Thanks for the invite for a ride tommorow, would love to come but i've already got a fishing trip locked in! Also my wee scorpio 225 may battle to hold on to the ninja a bit. May get back too you later tonight if the fishing falls through.

How are you finding the ninja? I've loved learning on my scorpio from zip experiance at all, but now 4 months on i wish it had a bit more bite around 100kmph, i want to buy a dirty cbr, but torn on the idea it's going to be 20 years old!

Anyway, keep me informed of rides as am keen to have a nudge. Enjoy it!

Btw, i went from Dunedin to Outram, up to Hindon, then to Middlemarch, and back via Maccrays quarry and then Palmerston to home the other day which was fantastic and tons less cars than the main routes around.

Cheers

Ben

Yeah please do - I've only had the bike for just over 2 months (my first bike) so riding fairly conservatively too, I'm sure you can keep up.. I certainly won't be in any hurry!

I'm loving it. I've done just over 2000km now so it's fully run in, so I can really start pushing it hard - I'm always suprised how much power it has for a 250! (Not that I have anything to compare it to). I'd be interested to ride with you and see how it goes!

Yeah that sounds like a good trip.. I'd be keen to do it with you (haven't been on many of those roads before so good to do it with someone else) - let me know when you're next free!

Cheers - I think I need a bit more time to give everyone time to keep the day free etc...

Hey man,
It looks like most people are busy, but turns out the water up the coast is really murky and so diving is off, so if you're keen for a casual ride up to middlemarch tommorow 12ish, then i'm keen. Or just save it for next saturday, what ever suits!
Cheers
