And the lil dude from te puki Cheers for just being cool pillion ! *QUOTE go faster Watching speedo climb over 200kmph* this is when where passing cars already on the back wheel ! ~

Highlight of the tour , I gave toto my gixxer for a blast .. he takes off like a cut cat liftz wheel , rounds a corrner exceeding all bylaws and meets a cop mid cornner , Well he had stopped de mounted the gixxer and was making his way for the tall grass b4 the cop could even blink ! ....

Now i think i managed my mission to wheel stand ever where, scare small children and woman , say Yes plz 10001 times, get a date from sum random back packer girl , shreed a tyre, ride from whakatne to cycle treads with my bike ant Break neck angles , Even filled cycletreads with beautiful Tyre smoke !

Well my baby just got a post trip check over , and sum new feet !

Ready for the next 1 ... i urge all that can make a day ride ect to come along as we seem to have delivered yet another brilliant ride , tour ,,,,,

[glice]

yea that was a cool ride, I always enjoy riding with you guys. thanks to toto aswell, another well organised ride. I just wish I could have come the rest of the trip, I need a job that doesnt work saturdays!
cant wait to see the rest of the photos and hear about the rest of the trip.

p.s. Id love a ride too pocket I'm still not sure I belive 214 on the hurricane

[pocketcracker]

just put sum brand new dancing shoes on my girl , so yea most welcome to take her around the dance floor when ever ya want ,

you went past me i was doing approx 140ish i then speed up and sat inches off ya rear wheel and held that position for least 5-10 seconds where speed leveled to 207 but at that stage you had de throttle for the slight hill then reapplyed the throttle that kinda leap frogged you ahed a few feet ! So i guesstemated it at 214 as i had to accelerate to 215-220 to recatch ya but my speedo at that stage was fluttering , as wasent holding speed ,

Ps, my speedo and my navman gps speed scensor are with in 1kmph of eac other so i know for a fact ya hurricane can do 207- 206 !

[TOTO]

Ok , just got back, as after I left you falks at PsychoTreads I decided I hadn't ridden enogh for the day so shot off to Papatoe and back.

The trif was primo. I loved the whole lot of it. The company was fantastic and I was very pleased to see you guys who came on the last tour come again. I was kinda sad the rest of you couldnt make it but hope you will join us for the next one. O yes there will be another one. Not confirming anything as of yet but leave your Queens Birthday Long Weekend (5 juna if I'm correct) free


Highlights:

*Doing the whole coro loop was just awesome - hadn't done the whole thing for a while (more than 2 weeks). The twisties going to the lookout are always a nice warmup. Badger , you should also do that part backwords , its a whole new world of fun.



*Having a ride on the GSXR10000 - man that thing has some balls. First thing I did was to stall it as I was so nervous about starting it that forgot to put back the side stand. Started of in first, twisted my wrist 3cm was doing 97km/h in a 50k area and trats forst gear. Just got out of 50k zone - 2nd gear - 130, thirs gear 169k, 4th got up to 221 but that was by accident. Every time I pulled the trottle the bike surged ahead, whick pushed me back, which caused me to pull the trottle even more. Took me some serious effort to slow down.I think I broke the sound barrier on a couple of ocasions. I was doing 137 around that corner when I spotted the cops - I was thinking that will be a hefty fine, but luckyly was not. Was shaking from the adrenaline for about 30 minutes I had climbed off the GSXR. I cant get a 1000c bike tho - I don't have the willpower to keep my licence for more than 3 days or do I mean 3 hours. Big thanks to Kyle for that.



*Going for a night time Stroll with MusicMan and ChocolateWheels into the darn, and on the gravel again to get to the sacred maory lookout place. Did some burnouts there. I tried to kidd the giant maory gods ass, but unforunately I wasn't worthy as the ass was too high up for a small white man to kiss



*Doing the gorge on the way to gisbourne was godlike - we really had a nice pace going trough there.



*Going to the East cape Lighthouse - gravel is my friend now, I can almost keep up with ChocolateWheels on the straights. Imma get me a GN and go adventure riding.



*3 hours or so of night riding yesterday to get back to whakatane. Those windy roads and so many 35k corners were quite a challenge in the dark. It was so cool. Had a few hairy moments but it was a huge learning curve.



*PocketCracker talking to Brass-Trebles parents ( not knowing who they were)--> QUOTE "Right, I'mm of for a shower and a wank, see ya" - saying it in their faces. That was a priceless moment.



*Coming today back to auckland in the pouring rain was soo cool for me - was wearing my waterproof gear and had good tyres (not like Kyle ) and was warm and dry. felt untouchable . Will ride in the rain any time from now on



*Going to PsychoTreads, going over the bridge we had a cop company who was wating for Pocketcracker or Music man to do somthing but they were good boys and copper was left empty handed



*The burnout at PsychoTreads was cool got a vid but gotta figure out some blurring issues and will post it up.



Big Ups to Gordon who came with the van and was our guardian angel. He is the man. I hope We will meet you again and will have the chance to buy you a beer or a box of. Your are the man Gordon.


Resizing pics now - will upload in 15 min or so.

Hey Andy , it was great to meet you brother. So cool to have you with us. I feel sorry you were not with us for longer. I hope you will come to our West Cape tour next. Great vid too. Thanks. Ride with you soon.

[doozy]

It was a great ride, shame i couldnt do the gizzie bit but oh well ... the corro loop for the first time was scary, exciting, awesome, everything! I think I went through every emotion on that part of the ride. Looking forward to doing it again ... one of the highlights was definately Kyle's shit story, every time I smelled something funky on the ride back I wondered if it was coming from the side-ways gsxr I could see in front ...

Thanks Toto for organising and huge thanks to Gordon in the van! What a legend!

Awesome! I didn't know you were videoing otherwise I would have given the bike a few revs... hehe

If you were videoing you should have shot off ahead with the rest of the group then, instead of staying at the back with me and the GN's.

*Going to PsychoTreads, going over the bridge we had a cop company who was wating for Pocketcracker or Music man to do somthing but they were good boys and copper was left empty handed

I thought you were right behind me, checked the mirror a few times and saw you and the pack right behind me with the cop beside me, then checked my mirrors again and the cop was right behind me and you guys were behind it! What happened there? You guys slow down?

That wanker was going to clean me righ off because he didnt check hid blind spot and started pulling in my lane when I was following you. you would think he wuld do it since he is a cop. Afetr that i shook my head and mentally gave him the finger. Decided to ride behind him with my high beam on in his rear view mirror - so hopefully he sees me. fucking prick. Glad he didnt touch you guys dou.

Actually... I think it was a she (which explains the poor driving skills). Looked over when I was beside the cop car and saw the cop had neck/shoulder length hair, didn't see the face properly, but I don't think male cops have long hair?
