Steady as she goes... 24th/25th May

**R6_kid:Me** · 21st May 2008, 23:19

Rather than 'break' my GSXR1000K3 in, i'm gonna take the 'steady as she goes' approach. So far it's just been around town, and very barely got to stretch it's legs on Scenic Drive the night i got it road legal, but that was two up.

Needless to say, the once very racey looking 'im a fast guy' raceAttacks (thanks to twosmoker) are now starting to show some rather fatty chicken strips that The Colonel would be proud of.

So - Auckland crew - who want's to join me for a moderately paced, by still somewhat reserved ride this weekend. Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting, somewhere in the greater Auckland region.

Four options so far - North to Mangawhai via SH16, South-East around Clevedon/Whitford to Kaiaua, South to Coro Loop, or South Westish on SH22.

Who's keen and where should we go?

Chicks allowed? WhiteBelt and I would be keen on Mangawhai.

Old people allowed? Noel might be interested.

Sorry no chicks allowed, so you will have to stay, but your boss is welcome.

hmmm do you think i can convince the missis to let me go on a long ride 2 weekend in a row?

**more_fasterer** · 23rd May 2008, 09:33

If the weather permits, I'm keen. Give me a text G once you've decided when/where cos I ain't got no internet outside of work

Who's keen on a BIG ride... The Stranger suggested this

Up 16 to Wellsford,
up 1 to brynderwyn, down 12 to Paparoa,
up Paparoa road to Oakleigh,
up 1 to Old Russell Rd,
Up old Russel Rd,
Down 11, across 1 and 12 to Kaikohe,
Down twin bridges to Maungatapere then Otaika,
Very Short hop down 1 to Oakleigh,
Then back down Paparoa rd and 16 etc

Sunday is looking like the best option so far. I'm keen on the above ride depending on how the bank account is looking. Otherwise Kaiaua looks like it could be a bit of a hit?
