how many times you done the coro GP mark? every time Ive been on it the average speed was well over 100k's where ever possible.

Treating it as a race track is bit of a push, not even the worse muppets take racelines or overtake under brakes.... well i know of 2 riders ive ridden with who've done that.

the point is excessive speeding dose happen every weekend. (because its a flipping fantastic bit of road) and it carries a very high traffic volume. There have been a stack-load of fatalities on the coroGP

You put the best road in NZ and every man and his dog having a holiday and you're going to get problems.

I have been on a number of Loops Scott. 1 is a number right?...

On that day there were two bins, and I came away thinking 'whats all the fuss about the Coro Loop'? Half of its ok but its over rated, I didnt really enjoy it that much, been on far better roads to be honest.
And speed takes place everywhere, you would have your head in the sand if you think that was an unthruth.

Living on the Peninsula, I actually prefer not to ride there at weekends because of the poor riding standards of some riders. It really does give the rest a bad name. Weekdays are a joy though, with almost no traffic (and no cops

)

Yes the plus side of doing shift work (or retired for some

) .... that's why I see very few fools speeding around, don't really get to ride on mainstream weekends or holidays

Same here! Plus every three weeks i get 6 days off in a row. I prefer to do my longer trips during the weekdays as there is much less traffic and people around... especially in the popular recreation spots.

Wouldn't like to go back to a 9 to 5 Monday to Friday job.

Although in saying that I have't seen many twats riding like twats. I did take my kids up to Whitianga on the weekend in my black-smoke belching behemoth that should be outlawed cause it's a 4x4, just coming down into Tairua a fuckwit on a orange KTM passed me and TWO other cars on those windy bits.
I could only see the rear of the front car disappearing around the corners... fuck he only just made in! that was nothing more than just pure luck, nothing else.

what a fool!

9 - 5 couldn't hack that either, just 4 on 4 off for me.

well i live in Whitianga & travel these roads quite a lot with work & ive seen a few pillocks that should be on a track not a public road.
Most of the riders i have seen though are good & considerate, not taking dumb ass risks putting themselves or other motorists at risk.

Oh yes I have to buy another toy so having a 4x4 is worth it... used to have a car trailer, until I set fire to it, burning my rubbish... yeah it was made of ply! go figure! D'oh

I have only ever owned one car, my Mustang.. always driven 4x4's plus i did 4x4 trails so... hmmm was handy then

Wash ????? thought just a spary down with CRC or WD40 is called a car wash up your way? lol
