250s' Coro Loop: Auckland, AND/OR Tauranga etc. Saturday 20th December

[BANZAI]

Shhhhh.... I'm normally really good at NOT doing that... but today, I did it a couple of times... bugger... must have been that I was using all of my concentration to keep up (and failing at) with a GN250 ! (never thought i'd say that! )

i cant talk though, cause me too.. bloody GN XD
and i had a bit of trouble with a few corners >_>

Muwahahahahaha behold the mighty GN!

it wont be the cable bro, it will be the speedo DRIVE, one of the washers would have worn too thin and the gearing doesnt connect (from experiance) go to Atomic Wreckers or similar and ask for one and LUBE IT before you put it on. chuck me a Txt/Pm if you want/need more info.

You reckon? That thing attached to wheel is squashed into forks and cable is in wront angle so it looks like it caused it to snap off. From my experience this is my 5th cable lol

I expect all of you adventurers to show up on the 250cc northland loop ride on 10th of January, for even more twisties and fun times. If I'm not mistaken EJ is still gonna be in auckland on the 10th of jan so maybe THAT will be his last auckland ride if we lucky for him to grace us with his presece...
oh EJ you are a LEGEND mate. KB legend

Gahhh thats like day after I fly to Sydney

What the bloody hell have you boys been doing to your poor GN's? I'm bigger than both of you put together, and i thrashed the living snot out of mine and she never skipped a beat...

So whadd'ya reckon Choco, is Banzai up to our old pace of getting saddlebags and pegs down on every other corner all the way to the cape?

Ah, but Choco set the GN land speed record, and Banzai beat it, so they must've been riding harder than you were.

I count four hands on the ground! = BINS

...& choco and I demonstrate that looking through the turn assists in preventing Imaginary Bin.

Hey I thought it was a knee down photo... someone hasn't got their knee down!!

That's coz i eased off when she hit 120 on the downhills... i felt sorry for the poor ol gal after having her tapped out for three days straight

[fizbin]

hmm... first chain and sprockets, next clutch cable... How many k's to go now til it spits a piston?

if it is to go at said 17,000kms then 3950 to go!

I didnt manage to make it either. Went less than 1km down the road on the bike this morning to do a bit of shopping, and bloody hell my thumbs hurt. Wouldnt have survived a ride of any considerable length.

*cough* Pussy HTFU *cough*

Must be a hyosung thing.. Here's looking at you Fiz.

oh yeah make fun of the guy whos bike is going to die in a couple of kms

Thanks to EJK and the guys and gals out there who go off their arses (instead of 'just thinking about it') and endurded the sun, rain and wind.

It was a pleasure to ride with you guys, this would of been the first "group" ride I have been on in a long time that no-one cut each other up and kept themselves under 140kph. The pace was fine with me, just the occasional car or slippery surface to bring the speed down to 80 - 90kph. It was great to see everyone riding their own ride.

Thanks everyone who took part as it wouldn't have been such a neat ride without you all! Well done EJK, goes to show you have some respect out there!

Heh just foundout that cable come undone at where it attaches to speedo lol

Nha I don't go hard on corners compared to you two. I can't scrape pegs on open roads(occasionary in urban riding tho )

Can't i'll be down south raising money for the Choco's Big Bike and Associated Expenses Fund (anyone keen to donate?)

He's getting there!
I think with a few three day tours he'd be up to scratch

The mighty few rode the roads
Where others feared to ride

Their spirit of riding showed,
And their courage is not shy

Three cheers for these few
showing biking colours true!

Thanks for the awesome ride guys. I'm quite surprised at the pace that we keped on the last stretch from Kaiaua to Clevedon, you all did quite well.
Everytime i stopped to let you catch up you were all there before i could turn to look.
Look forward to riding with you all again. See you on the Northland ride.
Thanks EJ for the photos.
