Just a slight aside...what a great ride that loop is!!!!
We (four of us) were up there for Labour weekend and we did the Coromandel to Kuautunu (sp???) trip...awesome, a real must do for bikers. Saw heaps of bikers too, even the Harleys waved back.
Enjoyed it so much that Storm(Waitara) said lets do it again. Just about finished the 2nd run and she had a low speed "off" when a cage cutting the corner came at her and she braked to avoid. Did a small superman as she was bucked off and broke a bone in her hand
Cage kept going though, but another decent one stopped to help her.
Bike came out of it real good too, and the value of good gear proved its worth...saw a few out there in t shirts and shorts...
Then to top it off, while going through to Thames for xrays along the coastal road, they saw a biker (not a KBer) dive for the ditch and wipe out big time...his 3 week old Beemer is a complete write off but he was unmarked (good gears again...). Twas another cage cutting the corner...deja vu???
Oh well...had to say something to get to post 200....
