    Yeah hard to know, it's been a relatively common theme with BMW's (or drivers) for me.

    Saw a MINT R8 Commodore at kopu-hikuai turnoff, he gave it shit to show off then pulled over to let us pass. I was most impressed, it would have been annoying if he'd slowed us up in those corners

    When I did that loop, I went anti-clockwise. There was a BMW SUV tank-thing held everyone up on the section over Hikuai - Thames...had a line-up of ten or more cars behind and just pootled on without giving any space...

    Yeah and it can be hard to do frog jumps through 10 cars when everyone likes to climb in the boot of the car infront....

    haha I hope you threw your toys and really went to town? Just for shits and giggles. It would have been worth watching. Or it could be my sick sense of humour.

    yeah it would of been funny

    But I was on my best behavior - I really needed my license back today. I thought I may have to have my glasses on my license, but tried with out them - if it's not on there it's one less thing for the wankers to fine you for if they pull you over

    Cool ride on Sunday - 6 bikes 7 people left at 10.30ish and headed up to Coromandel Town for lunch. Great day for riding and great roads from Kopu north (only 2 of us had done it before). 330+ kms for the day and back in time to watch the Warriors capitulate again.

    Cmon guys and gals need to get those rides in before the weather packs in!!
