Oh, and don't believe the speedo. Cool and '80's digital though it is, it's a liar. When it says you're doing 100 you're actually doing a lot less. I've forgotten the amount mine was out, but it was a lot. Like more than 16% if I remember correctly.

I'm used to my scooter speedo's optimism. XD
I'd like to see how off the FXR is when I get it, will be interesting.
Lol I'm going to be so mismatched: white helmet, blue and yellow bike, and black and pink jacket XD everything else is black
<3
Ok, we're either going up SH16 or SH1. SH16 is incredibly fun, however is a bit of a detour? Then through Whangarei, onto SH10 and turn off at his road.
I'm not the best at coming up with routes so any help is appreciated. XD Basically we're heading up near Kapiro Rd.
If we're going up SH16 BP Kumeu is a good place to meet up and fuel up.
Gonna have to leave at a semi-reasonable hour to avoid my 10pm cutoff.
Really excited to meet some new peeps!

Are any others tagging along? I wouldn't mind coming for a ride, at least for part of the trip, a bit of SH16, maybe to Wellsford...Originally Posted by Danae

and ive never pillioned before so i dnt think anyone would offer me that
maybe next timewe can start the 150cc motorbike club
<3
With any luck we'll be at BP kumeu in an hour, heading up to Wellsford, through Whangarei then to Kerikeri. Sorry if you don't see us/we don't see you
<3
Lol fail plan.
Anyone keen for monday? Also I am advised it would be safer to get an experienced rider to pillion up with us who can ride the FXR back. Any takers?

Phew, glad I didn't head out to Kumeu. I got all kitted up, then looked at the clock and decided I wouldn't make it in time, and got a big wave of "can I really be bothered?", and gave up.
