Laxed out rides

[smoky]

had a wicked ride today - did the back roads thru Pokuru - Waitomo Valley Road then the back road to Poipoi - then down to Stratford, and back up the Forgotten World Highway, back Taumarunui, Waitomo to Hamilton

There was no rain, good roads, and very light traffic

We live in a spectacular country don't we, the views were awesome, the bush was lovely, we saw mountains, sea, all sorts of trees including kauri, old pubs, rivers and streams, rolling country side. No cops.
Some days just happen well.

best thing to do would be pop down to the Te Rapa tavern on Wednesday night, burger and beer for $7 (I think) - and meet some of the group.

No, but the ACC Motorcyle crash stats include your fuckups so we pay :P Bastard!! hehe oh that looks fun!

My weekend ride was from Hamilton to Tauranga, then to Rotorua, visiting family and friends With my new tankbag YAY!! Oh it is soo weird riding with it! But it fits my shoes and shorts and is great for those not so twisty rides

totally agree. we have some awesome roads and scenery. You gotta get out there and explore. Nothing like charging through tree-lined twisties, hearing your bike. Just like riding through tunnels only a million times more betterer

Having just spent a week touring this lovely Island of ours it sure puts life into perspective when you see what nature has layed down before us literally at our doorstep... we all hear of Canyons that are as wide as Masterton, Waterfalls higher than the commentary box at the cake tin & of course Highways with no limits, but to be frank there is a REAL beauty out there one we can visit anytime we fancy, it won't cost the earth & you can get there within a few hours of leaving home, One you can share with that special someone or by yourself... which everway you want to serve it up our Island is FOOKIN AWESOME PEOPLE !!!

So when you are out enjoying the roads this summer just keep in mind how wonderful NZ is

I did this ride yesterday morning - just under four hours duration (one coffee stop), all at legal speeds mostly anyway. It was very tempting to continue north and go round the top once I hit 25A...BUT I had stuff I had to do in the middle of the day so like a good boy I returned to do my duty...fukkit!

A small group with some good ideas, will discuss off line.

Man - I have forgotten what it is like to just go for a ride for fun.
A ride that isn't a commute to work.

We should form a political party, put candidates up in the Hamilton electorates, and campaign on common sense issues like ACC, like no wire rope barriers in Waikato roads, like stopping police harassment.
There should be a congestion charge on all vehicles except bikes on the Coro loop, Kawhia Harbour and Waingaro to 22 roads - reducing the amount of other vehicles using those routes (even think about making the Coro loop one way). that should dramatically reduce the amount of accidents on our roads for motorcyclists

I'm sure there's a bunch more policies we could come up with that would appeal to the general populous

Who's with me on this
