Bottom of the North Tag-O-Rama

[Paladin]

from what i've read they were probably more worried about getting hit by broken bits of bike falling and hitting them

Either way they were shit scared pussies then! hahahahahaha!!!!

Good fun sprint up for the photo and back so wouldnt be late for the meet up rest of the days ride - thanks lads!

(Somehow I knew Laxi didn't have the balls to get there first! )

Now, where to leave my new tag

Either somewhere real obscure, or somewhere thats really difficult to ride into, or just somewhere in the middle of nowhere

How far North can I take the bugger?

Are there any rules - other than far away from where a roadie can get it!

Taking it far away will just slow down the game,doesn't need to be obscure either.
Somewhere interesting (scenic? historic? iconic?)

Twotyred's comments are good(below), however.....

If you go north tho, Bart would be VERY happy to tag it for you as he's dying to get in the game! And hopefully he'll bring it back in a southerly direction so the tag doesn't end up in Tauranga!

Just have fun with it! (hip hop lyrics not mandatory!)

Bryce & I passed 6 Roadies comin back over the Takas tonite, they were just piddlin along behind a line of cars like babies waiting for mummies titty; they couldn't keep up with us dodgin thru traffic - one tried and even he gave up eventually, we too good for him on our agile, go anywhere machines!

on a serious note, that attidudes the same as the boy racers have, and you call me a kid saw this on another thread and thought of you, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle...id=26072310001

I'd rather be a live "pussy" than a dead hero!

I didn't say we were being reckless - just applied positive mental attitude, as opposed to wimpering along in 1st gear behind the cages!



I didn't do any unsafe passing manouvres at all - gave that bullshit up years ago - I don't pass unless I can see clear road ahead - I leave that to the boy racers on their 26 yr old 250's that they just about afforded by saving up their paper round money!!

And I definitely wasn't filming Bryce in front of me, altho I was tempted to get the new camera out, and video the roadies in my mirror gettin smaller!
And I wasn't doing over 170kph - then again my DR might not even do over 170 downhill LOL!

(on a serious note; the reason I don't own a big road bike is cos I WOULD have to know how fast it went and since the road is chock full of unobservant wankers in cages & Pukeko birds with dubious road crossing manners, I aint up for makin my two young daughters fatherless!)

Definitely mate!

[Woodman]

Truth is that is why i am not that comfortable riding on the road.

[junkmanjoe]

its not the road, but how you treat it.

I almost did that just outside Masterton (coming in from Castlepoint) at 200 klicks. Went to pass a Range Rover. Didn't realise there was a Mini in front of it. Range Rover pulled out to pass, I went into the grass to avoid...Kept it upright, how I don't know...Sold the Kawasaki, went to a BMW basically to slow down...that was nearly 20 yrs ago now.

[junkmanjoe]

my rules.

if you abuse the road it will get you in the end.
ride strong and stedy, not lose and crazy,

Why do you think I went from litre sports bikes to itsy bitsy dirt bikes. As I got older, I realised I really didn't want to be sprayed off the road with a fire hose.
