The Great Lower North Island Loop Ride

[McDuck]

Would I be okay dong this on my L's, just dont want to get pinged for going over 70, as the chances of that happing are quite high

Also not keen on removing plates as that could cost me even more in the long run.

If you are riding in a group and not riding like a dork the cops will let it slide.

No need to worry, and no need to remove your plates. Trust me, you are better off to ride with them on. More dollars if you ride without and get caught.

Mcduck5n is correct. Unless you are riding all over the place, on one wheel, and all erratic like, and with a grp, it's not a big concern........

So most welcome..... Whole ride is "Learner friendly", and it's not going to be at a cracking fang it pace....


PS. If youre thinking of coming - http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/ca...&day=2008-3-15

Plonk ya name on the list. Just gives us an indicator on numbers....

As a genral rule if a moron would do it, it is a bad idea. If you ride 'boring' you will be fine.

Now it was a decent thread before that name was mentioned.

No more thanks



Thanks for the edit out

Pace is not a problem. As explained, not going to be a fantastic land speed record attempt. We will be cruising....

And as for the bunks............Well gunna leave that one alone.........

Cruising is good I'm still learning so I'm still playing things safe and keeping the speed down. Should be a good trip looking forward to it.

If you are not happy on the highway i would not recomend going. While this will be a 100% safe enviroment, it is a long way to be not happy. I recomend go for a ride with a few of the other guys going before hand...

Experience dictates that nothing is 100% safe. It is what you make it .... ensure your bike is up to scratch for the trip ... and that you are fit ... those are two things that will help.

[McDuck]

hhhh ya ok, i will reut that,


'this enviroment will be about as safe as you can get'

Okay just to make this clear.......!!!!

Those wanting to come along on the ride are most welcome...L's R's or full's

If you are NOT COMFORTABLE doing road legal speeds, (posted speed limits) then it may not be for you.

You ride at your own risk, just the same as if you were riding by yourself.

There will be someone acting as a Lead Rider, and someone who will be TEC.

And everyone will be riding to their own capabilities.....


Okay, sweet, no dramas, no hassles

Want anything else, ask the horse direct, don't listen to the horses arse...!!!

Cheers and have a nice day
