North clockwise Coro Loop 18/08/07

**beyond** · 6th August 2007, 18:05

Oh, Coro loop is around 350kms from Papakura Autobhan and back again.
Some of the best motorcycling roads in the country though this time of the year is not always the best time to make the most of them unfortunately as there's damp bits and green bits but more than made up for with heaps of loverly twisties, open sweepers, short straights, pretty bits and nice burgers topped up by a few very boring straights that need to be crossed to get there. Bout sums it up I think??

Oh, don't buy gas in Coromandel as it's .18c a litre dearer than anywhere else.

Ride your own ride and the guy in front of you owns the road. Simple really as the difference is all there, between your ears.

What a sensible and uplifting post B!.....

Well said B,

Went to whangamata a couple of weekends ago and the roads were fine just got watch out for the shade bits and close to the cliff face where the drainage are good and its running across the road (only one spot on the way to waihi)

Korn, must be a real bummer being out of the loop

Also as ZRXer has mentioned this particular ride will NOT be a balls out yee ha.
I'd believe that if you're comfitable riding around the 100kmph mark then you'll have a blast and learn a heap from some more experienced riders.

Just my $92875798475.05

what he said....
how ever i would like to add: just ride to your abillity, find out where they are going to stop and catch up with them there. dont try and keep up with the big bikes, most of the guys with them are very experanced with riding the coro loop. its there play ground.
