Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[Padmei]

i found cornering on gravel on schmidt arse puckering - still do in fact - always worried about front washing out on the big (powerful) bikes

[JATZ]

Bike on the back again huh? Good times all over again

Cheeky B***ard.....Why I oughta....

It's just easier to eat an icecream on a sunday drive when in a car, not as messy

[Underground]

Yup, can get in via Mt Duppa. Its not a bad ride Mt Duppa and a good way to miss a heap of highway when going to blenheim.

I went through the Mot Highway and dry weather road then st arnaud, then home. Was nice although am having confidence issues cornering the BMW on tar. Got owned by a guy on a DR650 in the twisties and pretty sure he wasn't even trying.

steering head bearings!

On the other I had to be a wanker & pass a couple of oldies round the outside of a corner on the Whangas- their riding was painful to follow...
Why the confidence issues on the tar? A DR on the twisties is a pretty good mount tho.

I'm happy to go in & out of the old whanga rd but was unsure how far past the carpak I had to ride to find the bit that drops down onto the old rd. I still remeber my slide along the tarmac there.

I can never remember how far to go, you just end up there, eventually...

now that's a lean angle right there

[Muzz67]

yep, it's one thing to scrape ya knee,, scraping an elbow another thing altogether.

Not often an 18hp bike can do a 2nd gear burnout on a dry sealed road...

Or a donut

[Padmei]

If I didn't know you guys better I'd be thinking you're making fun of me. i've got road tyres on now so I will be able to go round that corner faster.

[NordieBoy]

Or a donut

You've got at least 20hp though...

[Padmei]

Going in to Mt Duppa again to find the Whangamoa rd. Will report back later....

Well i found the old Whangamoa Rd again. It wasn't past the Mt Duppa carpark - there's just lots & lots of gorse past that - ouch.

Will post up on the adv therad

[Muzz67]

Anyone up for a ride during the week? Muzz.

[NordieBoy]

need a hand shifting the emporium? Jenny says the house is taken care of. I have a big cage trailer now.

[NordieBoy]

Cool, the Emporium can be shifted slowly as we're renting out the house but keeping the shed.
I want to build benches/shelves etc in the new Emporium first...
