    Tauranga rider?

    Hey

    I'm a very new rider and was wondering if there's any more experienced riders in Tauranga area willing to go out riding with me and give me tips/advice?

    That'd be super

    Or the road up to Kaiate(sp) falls, thats a nice little hill.

    And it has been about 25yrs since they did any maintenance on it too!! Not a great road for any leaner.
    No body move... I dropped my brain

    Yes lots more traffic now. I actually prefer the country roads around tauranga or even waihi and katikati.

    Agreed. I went out ohauti road once... Loads of roadworks and loose gravel everyone. Luckily I ride with caution

    Fairly large rider crew in Tauranga but the riding is a bit quiet at this time of the year. Go for a squirt over the kaimais to okororie where you will find heaps of bikers. The local crew meet at Drivers bar on 11th ave on a thursday night and we go for thursday night rides in the summer leaving from tauriko servo. Look up Tga Posuer Crew on facebook, you might find someone there willing to ride.
    Get rid of those NANA knickers, and FIGHTER it!
