Coro Loop (27 Dec)

[Madness]

I'm keen.

I want to see first hand just how slow Carver really is.

Do you mean riding speed or mental capacity?

[Madness]

I can judge the latter from what he writes on here.

The weather is looking good.

[beyond]

Ok, weather looks spot on. Looks like Sidewinder who organised the ride won't be able to make it Not sure if Carver is taking on the role as organiser or not but if not....

Direction around etc will be discussed on the day for obvious reasons.
I'll be at Papakura Autobahn on the southern motorway at around 8.45 leaving 9.00 sharp and again route to Kopu will be discussed there.

Should be a cracker of a day.

Observe: there will be a plane or planes in the sky watching traffic and radioing ahead, increased presence on all roads and perhaps random stop points so it will be a mediumish run and speeds will have to be watched. I don't particularly want to spend the rest of summer walking.

Normal rules apply:
1.The person in front owns the road so if and when you overtake, do so safely.

2. No undertaking at any time i.e. passing on the inside of other riders unless they have made it quite clear to you that it is safe to do so and they know you are doing so.

3. If and when you overtake a car or other rider make sure that you check behind you first to ensure no one else is already overtaking.

4. Don't try to be a normal Kiwi by upping your normal pace to stay with a quicker rider. Ride to your own ability envelope. We want to avoid bins.

5. Enjoy yourself, have enough to eat and keep your fluids up (water) to stop dehydration.

this plane stuff has me a bit worried, i may just cruise this one.
no 200kph wheelies

[wbks]

Are you kidding or do liter bikes actually get the wheel up with a clutch pop at 200?

[loneranger]

No joke mate, they come up going alot faster than that too.Clutch or a good lip in the road when in the higher gears..

[wbks]

damn these restricted waiting times!!!

yeah, the gixxer will come up at 200 without the clutch, thats in 4th gear.
its tricky to hold it cause your hitting all the bumps on one wheel

Yep nice day ahead tomorrow. Great chance for a good number to get out and have a decent ride.

Wise words Beyond. I doubt any of us can afford to lose licences or need the extra bills care of the 5.0. at Christmas.

I agree about avoiding bins - those rubbish-bins are more solid than they look! Someone could really hurt themselves if you hit one of those.

Especially mini skips....

OKAY RIDERS -who else is going to keep me company at the back of this lot... I am bound to be the slowest given I am trying to keep my record of fines down to zero.

Any others keen for a more relaxed pace please feel free to join me.... so I don't get lost for a start!!
