Coro Loop

[BarBender]

Great Coro Hook. Thanks for organising it Paul.
Enjoyed my first spin on the new ride and catching up with a few mates.

Unit - You're an awesome lady letting your boy to come out and play. Hope he's pulling his weight for the next week! Enjoy the track day.

Thanks to all for making it a safe day.

Well I gotta add my 2c.
Been on this forum for a couple of years now and the reason I joined was to meet some new riding buddies ... however I very quickly became disillusioned when I read thread after thread about KB group rides that people were binning on.

SO this was my very first KB group ride, and on the Carnage Loop no less!

It was an awesome day and I was really impressed with the quality and courtesy of the riding.
I preferred to sit at the back where there weren't any log-jambs... and had a great ride.
The only downer for me was having a really stiff left hand which got progressively worse as the day wore on, the hill over to Coromandel was agony...

But on a brighter note, my little blat on the 1125R Buell was bliss, CHEERS Blackbuell!

And big thanks to Beyond for organising the day!

So who had a chat with the cop at the bottom of 1 tonne straight? I had plenty of warning for that one, but another one 2 minutes up the road? Just as I was getting back into it? That's just plain nasty

Yup, you aint one of the usual suspects and I have to compliment on your awesome paint job (oh sensible riding and all those sort of compliments too) but your bike really is a stunner..!

Huh, I like it. Film in fast forward mode (just for effect eh). Slooow down... Past the cop.... Back to fast forward mode again.

Just heard from DMNTD who has reported a great day with no bins, fantastic.
We were both looking forward to the day when we got to the Karangahaki Gorge and the rear wheel bearing in the MV shit themselves
Many thanks to the services of Michara Motorcycle Rescue who came and picked the bike up. I knew Chris was really looking forward to catching up with everyone, so I MADE him carry on with the ZX14 (equip with brand new tyres) and I returned home with the MV.
Sounds like my tyres are truly scrubbed in and sounds like it was a great day

Shit! Is that so? Chris spent the entire time at the Coroglen telling Barbender and I, and anybody else who would listen, that when his bike crapped out, he TOLD you that he was taking your bike for a DECENT run (for a change ), and that you were doing what you were supposed to be doing i.e. what he TOLD you to do! .......I told Barbender that he was all shit!

I remember his chest being puffed out at the time he said it...

You too eh? Bloody too many pies...the both of you!

[BarBender]

They let you have internet access at work?

[jrandom]

Bloody too many pies...the both of you!

Someone shoulda told me there were pies; I would have shifted out of second gear and got to them first.

Congratulations Unit!
Free trackday coming your way

Courteous road user, as always
Courteous giving up her day on the bike for Chris

Yes well I should not go on more rides as Nodrog pointed out!
As I didnt actually attend the ride I didnt think I would be in for any prizes. I cant thank you guys enough for this prize, as we are not the most $$ rich people in the world (but extremely wealthy in many other ways) often I dont go to track days as we cant afford for both of us to go. I love the track days for enhancing my riding (greatly required) and I am very very excited about the opportunity to attend.
And for those who are wondering? NO FREAKING WAY will I be giving it to Chris to use

Well you know he does have a reputation to keep up, and besides it was actually a selfish move on my part, imagine this, getting home after a great day out with everyone to a grumpy partner (we are talking about Chris now) who has been sitting at home all day with a broken bike in the garage, giving up my ride was the better option
But seriously, I know how much Chris was looking forward to the social side of catching up with all his mates, and when I offered him my ride he asked me five times if I was sure, and was quite prepared to go home.
Fantastic everyone had such a great day, and KB managed to restore integrity with the Coro ride
