The minority may ruin it for the majority on the "Coro Loop"

[FJRider]

Can you get fatal crashes that aren't serious?

Of course .. if you have NO PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT in them ...

If you do ... it becomes serious.

Wow this is so ghey! the road on the coast up from Thames is shit, narrow, got rocks and holes on it. Come around a corner and there is a car half on your side of the road because they're fat or cannot drive (or both)
Boats and caravans don't/wont pullover whether there is a pullover area or not (sure some will but fuckall because they like to hold everyone up, it's like they get a kick out of it)

Banning Aucklanders from there would result in an 87.96% reduction in fuel usage for St Johns.

Of course motorcyclists are never guilty of that.

In 1975 we were coming down a hill not far from Coroglen on a CB350 and a T500.

About 75 meters behind an slightly higher coming out of the last corner above Mike,I watched him tip the T500 into the sweeping down hill left hander an just carry on leaning until it looked like he was laying on the road.

Then I realised he was,,shit afternoon from then on..

Ridden it about 12 or so times since then,,fucken' neat road though aye.





Tightened speed restrictions on the loop have always just been a matter of time.

"Poor handling was a factor in 60 per cent of motorcycle crashes." Bloody Harleys.....

and I should know- riding for Baz Howie and all! I do passenger Tours around the loop often for Bularangi. also I ride a variety of other bikes on the same roads. Harleys two up on that road should be banned- Its fuckin dangerous. other bikes- carry on , as you were. Just concentrate on the task and dont behave like a cage driver.

I thought the coro loop was the one north of that, you know, the HW25 one that goes through coromandel... or do the tractors do a different one?

[st00ji]

given the loop appears to be mostly corners, accidents happening on corners stat is fairly meaningless.

i'd be more concerned if the ratio was leaning more towards accidents on straights TBH.

lowering the speed limit is a typical arbitrary response really, with the only results likely being increased levels of speeding, tickets handed out for similar, and road rage.

It's a holiday destination for a fair portion of the population above the Bombay Hills and a Tourist "must see". Have some paitence

Yeah the one up top is the loop, the smaller one in the picture is the "mini loop"

What AE4ME said.. and most of that has 25-35-55kmh corners that most people keep pretty close to (especially when its wet).

Since when would lowering the speed limit to 80 slow motorcyclists down? 80=100=120. They'd have to lower it to 80 and put 2 way speed cameras every 500m.

Why?

When I'm road testing bikes I usually wear less than them.

That is a file photo that they have used from a corporate ride we did at Hot Water Beach- the passengers are all offered jackets gloves and pants but some want to '
"feel the part" and just want the packet of Marlboros to tuck up the sleeve.....
This lot were Vodofone execs or Telecom from memory....
