[Macstar]

we're a wee bit slow, i think we got to whangarei @ about 2:30?


Forgot whose but it was a blue R6 that had a wee off, just enough to disable it from riding (hole in lhs engine cover), came off on a RH corner that has a few problems on peak rd, all good apart from that

whada slow guy ehab! and there were people willing to give ya some $$ for petrol!

p.s. dont know what happened to macstar after whangarei? lost him at bk!

Yeah sorry guys. I went into Whangarei to find the ellusive BK but gave up after driving around in circles, so dropped in at a bakery. By then it was 3pm and I had to be back in Aucks at 5pm - so gassed it back, but I thought you guys had already left anyway... I was racing back thinking I'd catch up to you guys! Ah well.

I'm going to have a chat to Nish today. If we do another Coromandel ride, I know those roads well and could offer to lead the faster group on a well-planned course with one of many scenic places for a lunch stop.

yea the coro loop sounds like a good idea.
i could organise somthin with nish. and Macstar you can lead. i know stephen might also now the root, or he could atleast use his trusty map
and lead the slow group.

We finished BK and started our journey back around 3.40pm. Glad you are safely back. I am sure on the next ride we won't lose you. Things were a little slow for the ride after riders been lost. wonder who was leading the lost group .

Squiggles was telling me of his plans for a coro ride next week. Darn we knows I cannot resist the temptation of coro-loops...

I wouldn't recommend it. Some of you need a looot more practice on sweepers for starters before hitting the coro twisties.

[motorbyclist]

anyone keen to go down to new plymouth? i'll post new thread

[Squiggles]

I was thinking coro loop for the big bikes in a couple of weeks, just one group and not this coming weekend, not the wee ones as its a big ride and could very easily turn sour if they dont know what they're doing


did the whole loop last week on tuesday

Hi all,

It was a day of firsts for me.
First time ever past Wellsford and therefore first time to Whangarei. It's Beautifully up there, I need to go up and have a good look around.
First time I've ridden with a group of that size.
First time I've come across a crash, other than myself.
First time I've seen bikes fall over at gas stations (I won't name names, partly cos I can't remember them or I didn't find out).

I was having a relaxed ride back with the CBR250RR guys when I realised my bike had ticked over its 1600Km brake-in period. Sorry guys If I scared you flying passed but i had to give it some stick and feel the power for the first time. Plus it was getting a little dark with my tinted visor and I still had a wee ways to go.

I also got to check the range of my tank. I was with the small group that got lost. Without filling up in Wellsford, I was riding somewhere around Dargaville with the fuel light on. Pulled into the GAS station just out of Whangarei (didn't know we were just out of Whangarei) I put 16L into the 17L tank

Cya
