    Wicked day and great crew on the ride. Breakaway joined us on the way through the whitianga side. He did really good.

    Who picked up Raj's bag???? The lady at the gassie said "somebody" I dont know them. Hope it got back to you.

    Cheers fella on the R1 that was a great bit of riding.

    Catch you on the 22nd july Jaffar and crew.

    Great Day thanx Raj. Pity you had the radiator problem. Next time dude. Great ride to the dude with the 900. And also thanx to the guy and his daughter on the cruiser.

    Below is when we stopped for gas, with Raj aka YamahaR64Life (in the balaclava) looking all worried about the steam coming off the radiator. Then we have the resourceful vvestie standing in front of Raj's bike with his helmet on. And then there OzRobbo standing in between Raj and vvesie looking funky .

    Oh, and my bike in the foreground.

    Well shit happens eh mate! Hope that radiator is not too expensive to sort out properly
    Should have given us a heads up seeing you were up this way, stopped in for a coffee or something. We installed Maha man's Stebel today.........[/quote]

    Yea bummer, but at least it fixed itself ? or so it would seem. Next monday when im not working ill take it in to Yamaha, n get them to look at it. Perhaps spot weld it even, or whatever u do with radiators. Get them to give it the final check and pass it "long ride" worthy. Atleast i can ride to work tomoro n for the week, wuda been gutted without that. Need a radiator guard for sure. If anyone knows any good ones pls pm me. Hope its not too expensive to repair for sure, im too poor for these things

    Pm me ur addy ill save it in my phone, n next time I do the route ill call n perhaps come over even, u guys r gr8 company.

    N thanks Mahaman for ur kind words in the pm hope u can organize a ride next sunny day.

    Raj.

    Sounds like everyone had a good time! At least I've managed to do the Coro a few times myself so I know what people are talking (and feeling!) about.

    Bugger to hear about the stone, but that's the nature of biking I guess Good to hear you're going to get it sorted ASAP!

    And knee down phwoar! I think I'll have to get my pocket bike out and learn to do that too! (with sliders..and leathers methinks! )

    Dizzam, I miss my two wheels! (Daisy is getting her forks done at the moment)

    Hey thanks guys ! One of the many reasons I like biking with other bikers is just this... the feeling that u r not alone.

    Ps: Ill have u know getin ur knee down on that (07 race R1 pocket bike) is not so easy. sitting on it alone is an accomplishment it corners hard... Im thinkin I shuda brought that to the Coro instead of my R6 ?

    Go to repco and buy some "boy racer mesh" shit and make up a radiator guard. About 25 bucks should buy enough to fashion a gaurd for a few bikes and just zip tie it on....... or ask that grumpy old scot with the r6 what he did for his

    hi, na they don't fix itself. It'll come back at a time that you lease want it. Murffy's law. Next time don't ride right behind someones wheels your paint job will thank u for it too.

    Hmmm i noticed that i have no guard on my r6 either .... Think i might learn from your experience and get my bike a guard before the same thing happens to me!

    Sounds like it was a good day out, Oh and ya gotta love gettn that knee down
    i just really dont like cops!
