Coro Loop

**shafty** · 20th April 2008, 22:36

What a FAB day on the Coro - rode from Tga clockwise with a local club to Tapu for lunch - and carried on solo to do the loop - long overdue. I wacked 52 bux of gas in the tank in Coro - if you passed an ST with a silver top box (does my ass look big in this?) that was I. Thanks for great passing Guys, I didn't once spill my drink.

Great day Paul sorry I couldn't stay a bit longer but had to get back for a birthday party in Taupo.
Good to catch up with Bruce & Steve and the other reprobates,

Thanks to Steve & Gordy for the company home,

Till next time

Were you two-up? If so, I was following right behind and got a serious giggle going on when I saw you being all about giving the 'bus the learn through the gravel...

That is why it is better to refuel at Kopu. But, if the tank is low........

**marty** · 21st April 2008, 09:41

i put $20 gas in at Coro. for less than ten litres........

Thanks Paul for sorting such a fantastic day and also to the other riders for making my day so enjoyable. I think that this day should be a template for future rides and it certainly restored my faith in large groups. I was considering dropping out and very glad that I didn’t.

I met quite a few new faces who I would happily ride with again. Special mention to the orange Z1000 and pillion (sorry bad memory for names), was great running with you guys, good lines and good pace. Bike of the day for me belonged to Buelbabe, awesome custom graphics

I split away at Coro and took the opportunity to call in and see one of my riding buddies (Blackbird) who has recently shifted from Tokoroa. Great to catch up and thanks for the ear plugs. Ha was quite freaky to see pics of me posted in this thread by Kev from Coro while I was still actually on the ride.

Nice ride down the coast and home.

Stunning day.

Andy

Actually that was my 07 CBR600RR that you were following, ridden by Duckaddict. ( Not that Raj's arse is not sexy ) We'd swapped bikes at Coroglen. I was on his black GSX-R 750 following you. And that possum was a big fat one!!! Good to see that you didn't lose your composure after that!!

It's great to see such a fantastic benchmark set for future KB rides. My faith has been restored.

Anyone got any suggestions how we go about collecting names to go in the hat?

**gtr boy** · 21st April 2008, 10:11

Thanks Leong - I knew there was a bike swap thing but just couldn't remember who was on what!
