I do this route quite often and it is bloody awesome!

Sounds like a very workable plan........

sh22 kicks ass! Very nice road, some dodgy downhill corners though with gravel and moss. Tomorrow is gonna be a sick ride too *rubs hands gleefully*, the front has scrubbed in nice, bike handles well now.

Is anyone riding tomorrow? Where/When?

**TOTO** · 8th July 2008, 21:02

Thursday 10/JULY Coro Loop.

Anyone willing, meeting me at BP autobahn papakura 10am.

Dakara you will be sweet bro, by the time it gets dark we will be already on motorway or already home.

Bring your hot clothes tho gents as the weather is mint rainwise but freezing cold dry wind is blowing.

I had two layers on plus my Cordura jacket with its winter lining and still froze my butt off. Oh thursday i will be wearing half my wordrobe

p.s. I miss my fairings

Toto,

What time do you think we'll be back? Have to be back at work at 5 p.m.

I am doing a coro loop tomorrow timati, will be heading thorugh kawakawa bay then kaiaua then miranda then kopu then the coro loop but not the full loop the half loop *which is long enough*, I have to blast through scenic drive later on to meet the missus *don't ya love people who live on great motorcycling roads haha*, now how the fuck do I get to kaiaua.

if you gotta be back at 5 Id say you may or may not make it. Not sure 100%.

most likely you will be slightly late.

I got an idea, call sick ... I've heard coro loop is very medicinal ...

Sounds like a plan!

Shooting into Motomail tomorrow to look at some new lids after I pay for the rest of the bike, and money allowing may get some Winter Quasi gloves as my M2R ones are horrible in the cold, nevermind the wet! Rest of me is usually not too cold with enough layers...

Hrmmm, should prob pick up some chain lube before the ride also. She's looking a bit dehydrated

that's a very roundabout way that cuts out some awesome swanson backroads

gimmie a txt next time you're out my way! jeez! i'm always keen for a waitakere loop - only have to leave my driveway rather than this 2hours on the motorway towards uncertain weather BS

well, was hoping to break out the dirt bike but i guess i'm gunna have to go for a pre-half-coro now

though for time reasons, given SMC/250 pace, i doubt doing a whole loop and/or all the pre-roads via miranda is going to end before dark....

keen for a half loop, but will have to see how well i wake up in the morning

excuse me if i go tearing past half way round the coro
