Sunday 13th Nov - Coromandel loop

[Krayy]

Will be keen on the December one.
Out of cast and healing well, but dont have the musel to change gears or hold bike up.
And I will need to get out of 1st

Good to hear you're on the mend. As to gears, I'll be in 5th (top on the VTR) for most of the way myself. Problem is, I can't stop myself from yanking the clutch and trying to go up 1 more cog while I'm riding, as if it will just magically appear

[R6_kid:Me]

if i have the R6 on the road i will be there.

O how i tried...but you bastards where just to quick....pity i did end up passing you on that Turkey infested corner

Sweet I'll be up for this, have not been out for a blast for ages. I had almost forgotten there are roads out there that don't lead me to work!

I have been in New Zealand for 11 months now and still not managed to get around the Coromandel........

Good things come to those who wait though eh?

[Drunken Monkey]

Medium = ~110-120ish on the straights (not that I condone any kind of law breaking, but my speedo is waaaay out officer, I swear!), so you probably wouldn't get out of second

Erm, that would be a slow ride...

[Goddess of Goof]

Sorry can't go that Sunday - I'm manning a stall for my work at the Seniors Day Out so it will be Zimmer-frames and wheely-bins all morning for me.....

sad to say

And a friend's engagement BBQ all afternoon.... :spudguita :hbd:

Have an excellent day guys, and :-

NO-BODY BLOODY BIN IT PLEASE, OR ATTACK THE ROADSIDE TREES !

You done the coro loop before?? I'd imagine you'd be going up and down 4 gears from corner to corner - on quite a few corners. 110-120 on the straights will probably be the slowest speeds... but there will always be someone waiting at turnoffs.

Will do my best to get my bike in shape and turn up.

Well seems there's a few of us up for it so it's all good to go at your own pace.

I've had a bit more practice on the NINJA (yes yes... a ninja) and should be a bit faster this time than last.

I was even getting overtaken by the guys taking the photos

I'll bring the duct tape Gareth

Sweet as. Coro loop is the last of the popular Auckland rides I have yet to complete. I take it the ride is a long day?

actually, Coromandel has NOTHING to do with auckland, and never will have. you can visit, but leave it as you found it, you big city, power hungry, waikato river water drinking louts....


if you kill at least 1 possum on your trip though, you get a day's free membership to the Greens.
