EASTER 250cc TWO Day Tour Up North

[sinister^]

Dude, you're scary enough on that little fixxer. Never knew they could go that hard! Just watch out for the ruts next time

Fek no man lol

The most funniest part was when someone was talking about lamp shades as your light and how you would use it as a indicators. Lmao

Well this tour has been exciting for me even before it began. I had been looking at weather forcast website( www.metvuw.com ) and finally in the last week I was able to see that weather was gonna be nice and therefore we could make the tour happen.

I'm really glad that many people joined in. Us 250s and 150s (crazy ones) and the big boys on their super lightening fast toys.

Some highlights of first day ...

jacko2 turning up with his thunderous sounding SV1000 - man that was just music to my soul

about 20 bikes leaving from shell westgate with me in the front - my first tour and I get to lead - wooooohoo. I felt 10ft tall. All people on their flashy fast and gorgeous bikes and I lead them - woooohooooo

Seeing Bomma and Macstar carving up those corners on the 16. That was majic boys , i wish i could have played in the same sandpit as you. Unfortunately we are still in different kindergartens

Also the Lady on the SV1000 ( that also sounded fantastic) and her Husband on the GSXR1000 - you guys just made the trip to warworth so fun , watching you dissapear behind the horizon at gazilion Km/H and then quetly and modestly waiting for us slow nanas to cath up on the next turn off. You guys were brilliant. And Fast.

Twisties to and from "Big Ass tree" were nice ay , just gorgeous.

and also twisties leading to kaitaia and that gorge - man that was brilliant.

Saw Macstar and Pocket Cracker do power wheelies - wone word - WoW

Hit an eagle with my shoulder but lucky we were both all good.

The twisties before Kaitaia were just the cherry on the cake for that day riding. Sinister kicked my ass on the twisties. Sinister , you dont need a bigger bike bro , you need a smaller one so we can keep up. I recon you still kick our ass on the twisties evern if you were on a scooter.

O by the way Sinister - I would strongly advice you to invest in some leathers or at least anything that has armour in it. After I foind out you were just wearing jeans and jeans jacket I kept praying that you dont come off your bike coz it would have been a mess to deal with. My 2c.

Second Day...

Thaose roads leading to the cape were as someone quite simply put it close to "bike orgasmic". That was the first time I've been able to take a corner at 137. Smooth

Gravel - not too bad, BUT LIMESTONE GRAVEL - F*****g Hate it. All those stoned the size of apples. Had an "oh Shit" moment on a number of times but luckyly - kept it upright.

Badger8 and chocolate wheels were just champions - completely gunning it trough the gravel and leaving thick dust for us slowies to brethe

The Cape itself was brilliant - View, people, kids admiring the bikes - just great. Climbing back to the carpark in full leathers carying a helmet and a backpack - that was not fun. me and Badger8 were moaning about it all the time.

Damn 20 more ks of gravel on the way back. The whole gravel experience was a huge learing curve for me. I still cant say that I like to go on gravel on my road bike but I can say that I'm confident enogh to go driving on gravel should I need to.

Seeing Cocolate wheels ride the gn with 132Km/s - priceless. Man those GNs have some guts.

The harley riding gang with the name whatever it was ...(nagas , what was their name ?) were just so fear inspiring. I espessially pulled over for them and every single one gave me a wave- that was just sooooooooo cooooooool.

Day 3...

nagash Cracked me up with his leaning off tecnique... fantastic.


Those were nice twisties we did today were cool. My new favourite route.

Woodcocks was great to be done today. I did it 3 times today thanks to Drider97 and his blown tyre. One mans loss - another mans gain - thank you.

I rode Chocolate Wheels GN250 today - I felt like a true brue harley rider - that thing was sooo nice , comfourtable and I was able to look at scenery - that was soooo awesome thank you Chocolate Wheels for that experience.

All in all a fabulous tour.
I want to thank you all for the great tour coz it would have sucked doing it alone.

We all should also thank Jacko2, Pocket Cracker, Macstar and Badger8 for taking turns on being TEC and looking after all of us.

thats my write up of the trip, i'm currently resizing the photos and will post them here very soon...

Thank you All

Those Suzuki boys will never let you live that down

Scary thought that a 600cc sport bike is appox twice the top speed of a GN


Bugger I missed this one boys. Would have loved to be there. Had to make do with a couple of rides up Old North testing the camera instead.
