yee ha. dont tell me that u are going to mercer again marmoot???
what about the twisties in whanga. its been awhile since we blasted through there! ciao ciao

[doc]

yep I'll be there this weather is too good to waste

[Marmoot]

whanga is good but *heck* getting there is a bugger. Plus, after the meeting with copper around Kopu the last time (honestly) I'm now kinda freaked out to go through all those straights.

Hunua+Waingaro = 350km of twists

Whanga = 400+km trip with only 60% twist

Nah....probably next week

[bikerboy]

"Weather too good to waste", as usual it has crapped out in time for the weekend. Hope the guys have a good ride. Glad I went on Friday.

[Antallica]

Yeah, it's pretty much ready to piss down here in Whangarei as I type.

Hope you guys got a good enough blast though.

A few spots of rain on the way back, that's all. Didn't see much sun, though.
Great fun, a couple of minor mishaps but nothing too serious. Awesome roads!

[Marmoot]

't was better than I expected ('xcept for the cold....)
Good pace

doc: How's the bike n everything? Hope it wouldn't put you off riding with us again

MikeL: always faster on the way home, eh?

Yeah, I suppose I was being a bit cautious on the way down. Decided early on I wouldn't try to keep up with you guys, rode at my own pace, but still scared myself at a couple of corners. Not sure now whether the limitation is me or the bike... Still, managed to scrape the pegs more times on this ride than anytime previously.

[doc]

Yep great ride guys pity about the ditches tho, see ya next trip at my pace

[Antallica]

What route did you guys take?

[Marmoot]

Ended up going Hunua-Kopu-Hikuai-Whanga-Waihi and back the same way....I'm easily swayed

did You guys have a twin in the group somewhere?
I heard a multi revving out the other side of Hunua just after 11 then all i could hear was this big fat twin noise which drowned everything else out. I can always hear the bikes as they make their way through hunua. I was working as usual around home. it's always a tease and makes me wanna go riding when i hear them coming through.
