This is definitely an attitude I've noticed and for many it's the only place to go. The repetitiveness of doing the same ride is what made me think I never see cruiser/sport tourer riders doing that particular route. I guess it's the difference between checking out scenery and going for a blat.

North Shore Cruiser Group are going around the Coro Loop this weekend....

Seen plenty on the loop. Just not in large groups, but in 2-3 bike mini-groups. Quite often two up and they all appeared bloody happy!

The Fazer gets a bit crossed up there. The XS850 was a hoot round there though.

The Coro loop is heaven on earth and if the sight of road signs warning of many corners to come doesn't get the hair on the back of your neck rising it's time to hop back in the car

I actually like the idea of a fang round the Loop on a cruiser cause it would be fun at a lot lower speed and therefor a better chance of keeping my licence.

You raise a valid point. I've just not seen too many riders with the urge to keep their licences!
