Thanks for the ride the other night fellas, good indicating on corners, just what we want to see.

Come and visit the beautiful Hazard County!

Home of rolling hills, Surf beaches, Twisty roads, silly open road speed limits, and of course, it is New Zealands Premier Police District.

Hazard county (some people know it as Rodney) is located just north of New Zealands capital City, Auckland, and encompasses such glorious destinations as Helensville, Dairy Flat and parakai.

The main attraction of Hazard in recent times is due to the activities of a creature known as Ginga. There is mass debate over the number of Gingas, but most reports suggest one or two exist in the area. No other sightings of this species have been made anywhere else in New Zealand!

Although its taxynonymy status is uncertain, it is thought by some that despite being a New Zealand native species, Hazard's Gingas could indeed be closely related to European Gingas - but without the cross breeding with leprechauns.

Reports on its behavior however are sparse, but it does seem more active at night. It also has been known to venture outside of hazard, but the sources of this information are yet to be confirmed.

Behaviour witnessed thus far (from credible Hazard experts) Include: Entrapment, Bribery, Blackmail, bullying and lying.

WARNING!
Data suggests that Ginga's are actually caring creatures! If you are travelling too fast for its liking, regardless of speedlimits, it will punish you for your own protection! This is highly unadvisable as there is little chance for escape - it is very resourceful and will call upon its pack of minions to catch you via roadblocks in a cost efficient and constructive use of police time.

Hazard County Tours run weekly, departing Westgate Shell station at 7pm every thursday.
You can be assured that a Hazard expert will be on hand as your guide. Enjoy the scenery, and if very lucky, a Ginga sighting may occur.

Providing you have the balls and horsepower, and Ginga does not know you or your bike [notice I did not say 'taken note of your licence plate'-Hazzard county coppers are happy to lie], doing a runner is not to hard. Many participants on the ATNR [and Hazzard county pilots] have successfully left gasping commodore police cars in their wake.
You can do eet

Thursday 15th October...I plan to be there and learn all about this ginga stuff/thing/person every one mentions.

Meet some KBers and hopefully meet others heading to the GC on the weekend.

If anyone fancies a ride to the Cape leaving late afternoon Wed, over nighting somewhere a few hours north of auckland and then back in time for ATNR, drop me a PM. Pub / hotel suggestions where to stay a night 3 or so hrs north of Auckland would be appreciated.

Hiya boys and girls, now summertime is coming, we can probably expect some good turnouts. I'd like to refer you all to Noels thread The Group Ride Guide

If you are a noob to the ATNR, be aware it is for intermediate to experienced riders, and could be classed as technical.

The last thing we want to see is a cock fight ending in tears.
