    The Kaiaua route is pretty, you can also go home from Kaiaua via the back roads (Kaiaua rd and Hunua road) if you have spare time and want some more twisties. Otherwise the motorway route is good and straightfoward at the end of a ride if oyu are tired.

    but that'd be a waste of petrol

    going the fun way they could spend 6 hours getting to kaiauia for lunch and motorway back (or vice versa)
    Second Squiggles. You're dreaming Motorb if you reckon you could do the half loop in 4 hrs main highways or not. My best time with a lunch break and petrol stops is around 5hrs-5.5hrs - not that I am the fastest or anything. Anyway, these guys have sussed out a new route so not relevant anymore.

    i am so excited about this ride. i think we should nominate an asian to bring a camera.

    i'll don my most unattractive rain-pants-in-a-bag and the leg admiring tagger can get his(?) foot out of his arse. sorry, did i say arse? i meant mouth.

    EJ can be our cameraman, like what he did in Huia trip.

    You gotta get Knee armour or proper pants to protect your nice legs just in case

    There is short legged small size pants now in Wild West Honda, do you wanna go and have a look at it? It should be $150.

    Ummm yea planning to do it same time as coro. Maybe Coro group can meet us at uni after ride? Assuming we gonna finish in similar time ???


    Now it's bit of problem...
    Remember we are planning to do little trip to Huia sometime between 3-5JULY to take 0-100kmh Vids? Can we do both rides done in same week?

    I rode my bike pretty hard round the loop when I was trying to reach and save Bomma's ninja (RIP now).....I used my rear brake so much that half way down it was not working anymore probably reached boiling rate and would not stop the bike... So I hope all you guys have proper brakes for the ride especially you EJ...

    Thanks!! I can't bling you at the moment I think. Will do that when I can

    That was interesting exhibition. Altho I wanted to see GSX1400 doing burnout. All I saw was smokes and skid mark
