BEARITS? , heck include China as well. They definitely aren't Japanese.
BEARICTS.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
I'll stay home then.
Enjoyed all previous comments.... one or two had me laughing into my breakfast cuppa
So what happens if someone turns up on a (say) metric cruiser such as a Vulcan 1500 and wants to ride around a public road at the same time (other than embarrassing all the hoggly riders)?
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

The Beach Hop is one thing, but I'm not sure what the locals will think of Whanga being turned into Sturgis for a weekend. Depends who turns up I suppose...
the dynamics of cars versus bikes at a big event are different. At least 50% of all attendees operate a motor vehicle on bikes, whereas with cars it's possible to have a much highre rate of sober driver. nowadays that doesn't just mean at night, the morning after is a concern due to the lower breath alcohol. Additionally and 'ride' is different, cars aren't as likely to try and pass everything they can, and the vast different styles of bikes means differnen levels of riding abilities and bikes adds to the risks...... There's too many people here take on another bike and rider that's far superior to their own set up and run into trouble.
Do they "allow" Japanese cars at the beach hop? I mean I like muscle cars and street cars and hot rods and I know people in that scene, but the cars I really like are Japanese. Plus I have spanners that will work on them. of course the big attraction is you dont have get the spanners out every quarter of an hour with a japanese car.

I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
When I heard the advertising it sounded like a bloody good event. Seriously good line up of bands!
Then it appeared that it's a convention for the chrome-polishing festishists' and arse-less trouser homosexual enthusiasts.
I will find another nice bit of road to use instead, at that time of the year...

I think it's a wise idea to limit the distance to be travelled to under 250km. There can't be enough tow trucks and mechanics around Coromandel to handle that many breakdowns in a single weekend if they tried to ride further. Keeping it to under 250km will ensure at least a few of the Hogleys can complete the loop.
Happiness is a means of travel, not a destination
I'll tell you what...... doing the Northern Loop is absolute heaven at present. A mate and I did it 2 Sundays ago and the lack of traffic was amazing, even before Hamilton district joined the restrictions. We went anticlockwise and whilst there was light traffic heading south on the eastern side, there was virtually nothing going in our direction. I think we counted 6 cars that we passed in the whole 200 km. Now with Hamilton added, I might just have to do a circuit tomorrow and have the place to myself
