Im keen. did it in 07 on my daughters DRZ125, it was fun, it rained a bit, just enough to make it real slippery was hard work for the little bike with my fat ass
on it, in the sand dunes, the bike was struggling couldn't get any speed up.

On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

Is the Tuakau Bridge the on with the cream concrete rolling arch's?
I know where that is if thats the spot. Will be there if its the right place!! about 8.30. Would be handy cause Ive got no idea how to get to the ride.
Cheers
Darryl...
told ya so
yea this one.
depends what way you want to go, says that its signposted from the mercer bridge but not tuakau, but if you go through tuakau you could just follow barty5s group
i think you just head for thundercross park, if youv been there, but instead of turning off by the cell phone tower go straight ahead on to waikaratu valley road, and there should be signs by then
we may just go where no ones been

yeah thats the one, will meet up there and follow the convoy..
Thanks
Darryl
told ya so
well what can i say,
it is true that if you don't bring tools you will need them
bike fouled a plug from idle in the carpark and my mates bike wouldn't start and after many failed attempts to start including towing it, it kick started and spewed about a litre of oil out of the breather
so off the three of them went leaving me there to sort my own shit out, waited awhile finally sorted out the fukin plug, i cleaned it with help from a late arrival, thanks mate your a legend, then set off down the road to the lunch stop, this is 12:30 now, bike runs fine after that, no dramas with plugs
so lunch stop, see photos
second part of the loop, the beach part was really cool, stupid camera was having a tantrum and wouldn't start, missed all the photo ops on the coast, the actual beach riding was awesome, practice from woodhill payed off
then it was like a screaming run back home, mostly 4,5,6 gear stuff except one slightly wet hillclimb that everybody got jamed up forget back at 2:45
overall a highly enjoyable ride, although i only did half of it, my mates assure me that the first was equally as impressive, if at all slightly slippery
also found that half way round the second part i had a flat rear tyre
there was a lot of carnage imo, one broken bike two serious crashes, one of them was a mate, hope hes ok and thats only what i know of, so probably more
but definately do it next year,to scott and mr cycles for the ride
