Auckland ride Tuesday 15th

**swanman** · 14th March 2005, 18:59

Anyone up for a ride tomorrow Tuesday? Not too far, not too short. Ex Auckland. Practice some wheelies, stoppies etc too. Whatever, I've got the time at the mo so might as well make the most of it.

Edit 1

How interesting, this is developing into a 2 part ride for me. One during the day the other a doss thing after working hours.
Firefight and riff raff, how about this afternoon early say 1pm and we can go for a blat my recommnedation is to meet at the Petrol station at Westgate just before the roundabout, from there we can work out a number of options. This earlier ride is cancelled due to lack of interest

For the doss/wheelie/camera thing I would suggest the same meeting place at say 6pm sharp (cos is getting darker earlier.) From there can find some easy straights, quiet too and doss about. Please bring cameras and whatever you have with you.

See you guys out there.

I have been for a recce and 1st pircture is of the road I have used many times and is still the best form the point of view of not much traffic, straight, good surface, long enough and very few houses nearby. The second picture is of a sealed lane no exit I found which is only about 200mtr long, but totally private, so could be a place to start off practicing for beginners, though is a little short for long wheelies and repetition stuff etc.

yeah baby

I have a back tyre to waste*..

I've remembered a pretty good straight if it's just practice you're up for. It's a 'service' road to a quarry, so it'll be dead outside of work hours. About half a k or so straight. Get a couple in, turn around, have another go.. somewhere near the big mount welly, but forget exactly where..

else don't mind..

*but I'm not going to be silly, so don't ask

If you'll gonna meet tell me where..... I'll come and watch.

Bikes a bit sick so wont be riding....

Make it Wednesday and I might be keen..

**swanman** · 14th March 2005, 20:02

Ah Rhys I was wondering where you'd been.

Bugjuice can do the after work thing in Mt Welly, but I reckon the roads up where we did the videoing around Kumeu are as close and have longer straights. Can meet up if you want and do that.

Anyone want to have a ride during the day??

Pap we'll see about Wednesday.

Justsomeguy can come and watch if you want, have you got a digi camera/video??
