if u dont mind a noisy vfr tagging along then i might be keen. whoever organises it might tell us where to met etc. do we all shy away from responsibility? :cool2:

[Mr Skid]

I've got a kinda gutless bike! And I feel like my mental health (or lack thereof) could do with me going on a ride, I haven't done anything other than commuting for ages.

So is someone organising a ride this weekend?

Yay for gutless bikes! Yeah, commuting messes with your head.. I was trying to work why today, I think it's got something to do with not leaning over enough..

Assuming no one else has a better idea I'd say meet at the Autobahn on Sunday around 10am. Then head on SH22 and down to Raglan.

The more the merrier! I should probably admit that I don't know the way to Raglan via SH22 or whether you can get to Raglan via SH22, but it looks sorta viable on my mapbook.. Maybe I shouldn't lead..

If no-one wants to do that route, I'd suggest Whangamata, I at least know how to get there

Here's the Autobahn description from the site FAQ:

The Autobahn café is a common meeting place for Auckland bikers heading south. It is located at the Motordrome service stop on the Southern Motorway. The off ramp to this service area is just past the Papakura off ramp. You cannot get off the motorway at this service stop as the only place you can go is back on the motorway.

I know the way, just hope all the roadworks have been completed, had some scary moments a coupla weeks ago.

Great, well I guess you and your radar detector can lead the way then..

As of yesterday , no road works in progress on 22, still the odd bumpy patch
and all new seal is aleast a week old, the 150mm drop in south bound lane on windy ridge just B4 Vladis corner is well marked with 30 k/shoulder closed and cones on road, so its all good.

Yep, I am keen.
Gutless bikes are the perfect riding partners to keep me at a sensible pace.
Either that or just have a full time direct credit to the government every week

That sounds good to me, I haven't been very far down 22 before, but I've been to Whangamata etc. a few times.

Now I've gotta decide whether to change the oil and filter now or wait till after the ride (200k's to go before its done 5000km since last service).
