Cheers FREE2B, Im originally from Kerikeri in the Far North

Sum nice roads up there too ... tho havnt been up there on the bike ..yet..

Welcome-always good to have another rider. Plenty of runs coming up -organized or disorganized!

Nothing like a bit of disorganisation to keep everyone on their toes

Welcome Snappertrapper. Lots of riders here in Dunedin. At least one of us is out riding over the weekends and week days as the weather allows. Keep an eye on this thread for the next outing. Hope to meet you soon.

Thanks guys... good to hear the bike scene is strong down here. Northland has some good roads like you said but you don't get the big open spaces and lack of cages that you get down here. I could not believe how quite the road out through middlemarch was...

[Mutley]

I could not believe how quite the road out through middlemarch was...

Thats probably because the wind out that way can blow you of the road (eh Xaria)

[FREE2B]

Yep can be nice and quiet thru there. We have some nice bike friendly roads that dont see much traffic

[snappertrapper]

Haha yeah it can get a bit windy at times hey.... My girlfriend just got her first bike a wee FXR150 I took that for a test ride yesterday and experienced a bit of a head wind on the way home!

We do do a few learner rides, and practise stuff... (did one last friday actually) she is more than welcome to join in

Yep Its well known for its wind alright not always like that tho ... haha must have been a bit hard going alright on a wee bike

I will tell her that.... shes got a RM100 and has done a bit of riding on MX tracks but this is her first Roadie.... so its all pretty exciting for her. More fun being in control of your own bike even if it is a 150 than perched on the back of an R1

with yet more of the white fluffly things...think my bike is a sheep magnet!! at least I missed these ones

You should try meeting a bull in a mini (AT NIGHT!!) Youre the magnet G. & of course That Cruiser!

So what colour was the mini the bull was wearing and did it cover enough. AND what bars do you frequent to see this kind of stuff.

Actually Mutley it doesn't say that the BULL was in the mini...

Hey guys, im pretty new to Dunedin.... done a few rides through middlemarch and then back around the loop through Palmerston. And the big loop through Lindis pass another time. You guys have got some awesome quiet roads down here... Hoping to get out a lot on the scooter over summer so might catch up with a few of you guys!

One of the best things about Dunedin is that in every direction there is a good ride. North: The loops out Palmerston etc, East: the Peninsula, South: Southern scenic route, West: Middlemarch and central otago. Really different roads / weather / traffic in each direction too.
