Slow riders for Taupo 12th

**curious george** · 3rd December 2004, 12:10

Hey Guys & Girls, are there any riders who are keen for a slowish ride down on the day?
Mars is a new biker chick here, but is a bit shy about who to ride with.
My brother may make two, and another chick Clair may be three.
Anytakers? :spudwave:

Hi Guys and Gals, Mars here, long time looker, first time poster.......
The ever curious georgous is such a honey for encouraging me to ask...so here goes...any minute now...is there anyone out there willing to "walk" me and 'Sangria' (my beloved bike) down to taupo on the 12th? You wont have to walk me back if you dont want cause one of my chickie friends who is hooking up with me there has already offered. She's a bit of a nutter though on her Kawasaki 6R (and I tell her that too!) but hopefully the walk down will give me the confidence to maybe canter part of the way back so she wont be too bored!

Welcome to KB Mars. Funny name for someone from Venus. I am sure someone from KB will offer to "walk" you to Taupo.

I'll be racing there so I am goind down in the van.

Hi MR, yeah the 750 is bloody awesome!!! It's actually a nice riding bike.
Plenty fast, but I find it quite cumfy as well now the double bouble screen is fitted.
I would like to get onto Puke when it opens, but the chicken in me says 'DONT!!'
I'm racing to, so wont be riding down, this was just to see if there was anybody else who wants a good days ride.

Hi Mars,
As it happens I am riding up to Taupo with a friend on the 11th and it would be great to meet up with you on the 12th! I'm a new rider and also slow. The only thing is I will be heading back to Welly on the 12th so depending on your plans maybe we can even just meet up for a "Hello"

PM me and we can arrange a meet up time.

I'm riding down on saturday with a couple of riders. The more the merrier, even if we go a little quicker in places we will always wait and have lunch etc.

That's me she's talking about!
Well, I'm heading North from Taupo on the 12th, to Bay of Islands via Auckland. So, either I take it even easier and wait for you guys to show up and head back up with you (my pace could probably best be described as... er... 'Regal'; 'tis a GN, after all!) or maybe hook up along the route somewhere for a coffee or.. something?
Too much of a coincidence not to say 'hi'!
