    Pukekohe trackday (23rd) and Coromandel Ride Sunday 25th

    After thinking this over i'll plan it better for later in the year, with a proper BBQ and organised rides.

    However i will still do:
    Friday 23rd is PUKEKOHE RACEWAY OPEN DAY - $90 or free to watch
    - either way i suggest coming to watch, i have had a blast both just being there and also going out on the track. It's a lot different to road riding and you will learn heaps.

    AND

    Sunday 25th (Coromandel ride)- Plan is to meet at Papakura Autobahn at 10am and leave by 10.30am

    We will go Hunuas - Miranda - Kopu - Coromandel - Whitianga - Tairua - Kopu - HOME (either back through miranda - kaiaua - kawakawa - whitford OR Hunuas OR SH2 dependant on what people decide and what time it is)

    Going to be a big day but it is hugely enjoyable.

    North Shore crew, meet at 'the pad' (between holeshot and cyclespot) ready to leave at 9.30am

    Safety will be a priority and you do everything at your own risk, [insert motoracers disclaimer thingy here] - basically just do it all at your own pace and dont ever go out with the idea that you have to impress anyone (unless its off your bike )

    Im hoping for a big turnout of 250 riders of all descriptions, the ride up to wellsford is a good warmup to a REALLY REALLY enjoyable day on coromandel - which i will probably do at about 85% as my rear tyre is getting a bit down the the good stuff.
    This is open to all riders tho, lets see if we can bump the 52 bike record we have so far!

    Friday's out (fucken horses and money).

    Sat looks good. Will see if I can rev up a few Whg Dudes and Dudettes.

    KB BBQ Bloody good idea. Over due. Now where can we find a sucker, arh humm, I mean cool Dude/ette that will let us drink piss and chase their cat at their place

    Sun would be good if I stay over in AK, and the hung-overs not to bad. Although I do find a good fang seems to deal to a hung-over (until it catchs up with me).

    Cool

    Gareth - we could still have the BBQ at your place...
    By the time you get home from work just after 8pm, it will be in full swing..
    Please check with your mummy and daddy first if its ok.

    There is gravel out the front for Mr Skid... so he will be happy.
    A nice driveway to practise burnouts on... So WT and LB will be happy.

    Grass down the back for the others to do donuts on..

    Yep perfect place...

    So BBQ at Gareth_D's on the night...

    Will have to see about my place for the bbq, my olds were a bit iffy last time i mentioned it. BUT i will ask!

    Yeh, sorry about the shortish notice. I might just change it to BBQ and the Coro ride on Sunday... then do a BIG HUGE MASSIVE weekend properly in a while longer, i wasnt intending on it being a huge KB meetup like the KB BBQ or Waikato Rally, just a big weekend of bikie stuff

    What do people think of a meetup at say Mission Bay or Browns Bay on the Saturday, just for a catch up and piss around. The BBQ's are there and we can play some ultimate-frizby or something like that?

    Dam, I liked your earlier Sat plan better. I was looking forward to meeting you guys half way again, and having a fang with you all on my turf

    yeh sorry about that, for me personally i wont have enough cash to do it all anyway if i kept the original plan.

    Like i said i will plan something for a bit further down the line with a few good activities over a weekend and include a proper KB party/bbq in with it.

    Sounds awesome. I'll be in on both days. The Coro loop is a great ride. Nice and twisty and very pretty too.
