I had my first out of town ride on Sunday.
I'd met up with an old school mate a while agao and discovered he also rides, so we aranged an out of Auckland trip.
Headed up to the Puhoi pub for a cold drink, and further up to Warkworth for lunch.
It was good fun. We're both learners and proudly displaying our L badges to boot, but that didn't stop up from crusing at around 100 most of the way. But I can't help but feel that I would have liked to have been going a little faster.
None of the corners seemed particularly sharp, and I never seemed to get much lean going.
My initial concerns about bits of gravel round the road edges came to nothing.
Can anyone recommend any roads round Auckland that you can practice throwing it into the corners on.
I had a go through the twisty bit in the domain on Saturday, but encountered a red Silvia coming the other way at probably 80kph on the wrong side of the road...so I'm not sure I'll head back there again
