Actually FF, you are in luck! We are still going to hoon around all day at the track on the 23rd April the Friday. Next day on the 24th the Saturday, We'll be doing the SH22. From my knowledge, I think Saturday is your day off now for riding isn't it?

P.S. Shit I am rude!! This post is about a ride for this saturday not about the 24th! I'll fill you guys in, closer to the date.

I might be in if you guys are going around the coast might be able to meet up somewhere need to put some more k's on the new bike. and the 600 go primo around the kopu compared to the old 1100.

Clevedon's just out of papakura heading west...
Best you guys from down there meet us at thames,prolly around 10.30ish....
If it's easier,maybe we Jafa's should just meet at the autobahn.....let us know what you want to do

**k14** · 14th April 2004, 15:31

Yeah, the autobahn sounds like a good place to meet, if that isn't too far out of the way for everyone.

So is it autobahn at 9ish?

**Cajun** · 14th April 2004, 15:49

and thames about 10.30??? for me then
good thing misses has to do accountant book work

**dss3** · 14th April 2004, 15:53

10.30 ish at thames all good for me- have to get up early for a saturday though.

**Cajun** · 14th April 2004, 16:32

Where in thames should we meet??

**dss3** · 14th April 2004, 16:46

The big servo (shell/caltex??) on the rh side of main road?? Fair bit of room and they got food. mmmm pies...

MR, if its the same John I'm thinking of, I dunno whether he's retarded or not- I just know he's awfully good at buggering off into the distance at any time!

as for my gsxr blowing up... not likely with the roads as slimey as they are right now. went for a thrash with zed down SH22 and it was so slippery I think i only had the throttle hard open twice. I was trying too but even when being gentle the back stepped out about 2 ft (so I'm told!) under accel.

Interesting point about the GSXR's being thirsty. Compared to Zed's new CBR on Sat, mine either has a damn small tank (but not likely at 18 litres) or is trying to playing drinking games with all the other bikes!

Hmmmm, funny that. I thought it was just mine cause it has some race mods in it. Tank size is definetly not small. I put 19+ dollars of 96 or 98 in it every time.

Last time when MikeL on the CB400 had used 6 dollars of fuel from the last petrol station, I had used up 17 dollars for the same distance.

I don't know if he put 91 or 96 but its a huge difference either way!

Well I would love to do the loop but I have seen KBers definition of "slower riders" so i guess i will potter somewhere else. Have funs guys

**PZR** · 14th April 2004, 22:15

I,m keen and I beleive some other friends are keen as well (Weather Gods permitting). So have I got this right?
9am Saturday at the Autobahn
9.30 At Clevedon shops
10.30 at Thames. Is that the one at Kopu by the bridge or in Thames itself?

I was doing this run on Saturday by myself anyway as I'm off to Taupo so it will be fun to have company. I'll just have to get out of bed earlier dammit
Anyone know of cheap accomodation in Taupo Sat night?
Is anyone else going to watch the Supermotards race in Taupo on Sunday?

You'll be ok if you want to come,we don't mind waiting every so often,so if you want to come don't be shy.
O.K. Autobahn 9 > 9.30 ish sounds fine.
Forget Clevedon,we'll go another way

I was prolly thinkin of kopu (I'm geographically challenged

)the one just over the bridge across from the pub
