DESTINATIONS WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
SHELL - MURIWHAI - KAUKAPAKAPA - WARKWORTH - SILVERDALE - EAST COAST ROAD
This is due to the current conditions on Scenic Drive being apparently very very shit and not good for learner riders. As this is a ride for learners/250's/newbies i would prefer that we enjoy our time and as such would rather avoid Scenic Drive purely because of the risk of binning it.
The ride has also been shortened as i have been advised that the previous 400km+ ride is simply too long for inexperienced riders to cope with.
Other more experienced 250 riders are more than welcome to break off and follow the previously planned route if they feel the need too.![]()

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
Can I come?Originally Posted by gareth_d
I used to be a newbie and I used to own a 250
back in 1977
I just know you're going to say "No". What about if I bring a lump on the back? Disconnect summat (handgrip heaters? accessory plug? headlight bulb?)
Put the zorst restrictor back in?
Huh??
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....![]()
Well , I'm still a learner. Have been learning for 40 years. Don't know much yet (Used to think I knew it all - then I learned a bit more and realsied I knew next to nothing) . *And* I own a 250 !.Originally Posted by vifferman

Ok people i scouted out the road suggested and to tell you the truth its more fun than the road to wellsford. It goes across kaipara flats to warkworth which takes you through some real nice bush and farmland. Apart from the odd truck and some shit on the road it was awesome fun. Some really tight twisties and tight ass road like you see no the rally thru the alps in europe.
Gonna be fun if the weather holds. Work beackons me so i must leave you.
Vifferman you are welcome to come if you really want too, Just be warned it is gonna be a kinda slow paced ride.

Oh you bad boyOriginally Posted by gareth_d
.... talking naughty things about my sweety leetle woad......
I've just been down it and comforted it that you all are not going to be playing with it on Saturday. It has forgiven you and said that it will let you go this timeespecially as it doesn't want to scare any new riders...
However it has told me that unless you plan another ride down in the near future it will get very angry.
It is very sad that its big brother Mr 22 is slightly sick and damaged and has asked me to tell you all to give Mr 22 your best wishes...
EDIT : For all you dry humourless prunes this post is a bit of a pisstake......
PS : Gareth old fella...very good call on not subjecting newbies to "The Drive".... let them face it when they are a bit more relaxed on their bikes.

Uh..... can somebody who's done these roads please tell me if I'll be able to return to Henderson by 3:30 pm??Originally Posted by gareth_d
It is very important that I do get to henderson by 3:30....
Thanks,
JSG
JSG did the ride today from my house - whenuapai - 16 - old north - kaukapakapa - warkworth road - SH1 - motorway and it took less than 2hrs total. So if you add in Muriwhai at a bout 45min -1hr on top and perhaps east coast road instead of motorway you should be back on west by 2pm-2.30 with good time to spare mate.
