Regular weekend rides

[BoristheBiter]

We're doing Woodhill tomorrow afternoon. Should be fun. At least the sand should be packed down a bit so a bit easier for us noobs

It will make it heaps easyer to learn on, You will just get a bit wet.
Have a good day and remember trees don't move.

Have a god day im at hamptons getting wet
for those going off roading try not to get injured

And then there's Taupo on the 29th ....

so you booked for the 29th? I'm still trying to decide because it conflicts with the Northern Exposure Tour.... Decision Decisions.

[OutForADuck]

I'm thinking along the lines of:
cbr600rr 08/09/10, triumph 675 ,duc 848,, mv Augusta 600 or the new aprillia appeals

Hoppy.

Dude that would have to be described as an electic list if every I saw one.... you need to decide what you like, these things are radically different.

Personally amongst those the 848 is head and shoulders in my opinion, but then I like Dukes and Twins in general.... the 675 is a blast as a track bike but unless you are tiny not much for the road. my track photo's look like I will need it surgically removed from my butt afterwards

I also agree with Ntox 1000's make so much sense on the road...

Yes, I made the connection after I booked it. There is of course the option of moving Taupo from Sat Jan 29 to Fri Feb 11. Fridays are potentially less crowded as well as being 20% cheaper.

That was basically my list when i was looking, the Duc was too expensive, i didn't fit the 675, aprillia i couldn't find a new one and then the gixxer came up and was such a good price.
If i had the money i would go for the 1198 Duc.

How did you get on? getting ready to buy a dirt bike?
We can't be bothered to move as it is pissing down so it's a day of playing games,

As next week it is boxing day but is anyones keen for a ride just post up as M will be at work or Tues as M will be off and i'm sure we will go somewhere.

Bloody good fun. I started on the KDX200 (2 smoker with kick start) but I struggled with the ergonomics. I couldn't stand comfortably. And I kept stalling it at the wrong times resulting in having to pick it up and kick start it again. The WR250 was waaaaay better. I could have ridden that comfortably all day. We got absolutely soaked, but the puddles just made it much more fun. The only problem was the rain in the eyes on some of the faster sections. Tony was excellent giving us some training to start with then leading us around for a while. I'm certainly keen to get out there again

Man I so have to get back onto the dirt... but I 'm a coward.. scared I'm going to bash up my arm again. But the best skill dev ground ever invented.

Boris; 1198 is a lot of bike, 848 is alot more manageable (price as well), you better be ready for riding one of those babies, given the list would be a hell of a jump.

29th... decisions decisions... my friends in Taupo are away so I would need to book some accomodation, NET 2011 is on at the same time.. but then a good bunch seem to be lining up, including Emil with his Aprillia

I really want to do the Northern Exposure so am thinking Taupo on the 11th. Boris were you heading that way for something else? Or just the track day? Is the 11th out for you?

[Sharry]

Hey Greg, did you get many sessions in at HD before everyone packed up?

I was wanting come down and watch everyone but wasn't keen on riding that part of SH1 in wet and wind.

[OutForADuck]

hey Greg, did you get may sessions in at HD before everyone packed up?

No I couldn't be bothered spending $200 to play around a wet track... so I stayed home. Will look at the beginning of Jan to get out again before the next ART.

If your a racer you need to ensure you are fast in the wet.. if your a track day junkie you can comfortably pass

Boris.. Northern Exposure mate.. come meet more like minded KB'ers, ride great roads.. make up rediculous stories of near misses, swim home through torrential rain.... oh wait that was last year

[zealchick]

hmm might have to see if I can wing the Friday and saturday off work and just come for the night

Was thinking about heading south on boxing day ( not sure where too yet maybe coromandel?) where ever my wee girl feels like going :-)
if the weather looks dodgy and i decide to stay closer to home i'll be keen for a ride on any of the 3 days

Have a Fantastic Xmas everyone!!
