Mac boy is made out of hard stuff, he's gonna ride it like he means it...

[Macstar]

Ha ha. I might just f^&&kn do the ride anyway as I've had a hell of a week and need some fresh air - but will let you guys know tomorrow morning officially on this thread.

Unfortunately my US-ordered Radar dectector parts haven't arrived yet, so will have to watch it on the Motorway and Hauraki Plains...

As for the BBQ - if the weather is shit, this will be postponed.

Ok, howbout we meet up at that time anyway and if weather is bad I'll go ride somewhere easier and shorter than coro.

Anyone who's not confident enough to go Coro can tag me along

I'm keen for that! I've done part of the Coro once before but that was in the dry, I wouldn't want to do it in the wet with my current wet riding confidence.

Have a work thing tomorrow so am probably going to miss the ride but will be there for the BBQ. Anyone have a poker set?

[Macstar]

Cops stole my license for 28 days today so won't be able to take this ride now!

Will change the reason for tomorrow's celebration to:

Managed to go 7 years without losing my license!!

As previously mentioned, will let you guys know tomorrow if the BBQ is still on.

I'm sure cops today were having bad day...

I don't want to take motorway for several personal reasons atm too..

But people who wanna go scenic drive do come along 9am at Uni gym!!! Perhaps take the normal way to get to Scenic Drive?

[Nagash]

Well I just managed to pass my full test today (good god it was easy),

So now my count down begins to how long I can keep it.. I was threatened with losing it a few weeks ago but managed to weasel outta that one so, so far a bad start.

[swee]

Really!? But you ride longer than me right??? I try to use motorway as much as possible for commuting coz it's faster, no lights and less bends lol

Ok let's try Scenic Drive this sat then!!!

ayee, nah i just got my bike a week before semester started.

How longs this scenic drive? KM wise for fuel hehe, and time wise as i gotta get back to uni after to study

Should be ther if i wake up // its not pissin down!

[Real_Wolf]

I think I might pass, simply cause of work till 12, new to learning, and bike acted up again tonight after the AGM.

Ironic that its acted up 3 times, and each time its been the same person who was there...... starting to get suspicious

another roundhouse related casualty mayhaps??

Scenic drive (to Piha Beach, may aswell stop at the beach..) from Titirangi is 23.5 km. It's quite short but it's a pretty good stretch of road, quite high speed at some points but more then enough tight twisties to keep people interested.

It's a really good one for newer riders aswell.. (And I live on Scenic Drive) so if you're keen to go for a quick blat and not do the whole coro loop, i'd be keen to join you guys on a Scenic Drive ride.

Not you is it? Could be a real issue

I'm out anyway... riding down quasi to get some gear...

Bad luck dude, why didn't you wait until your radar detector arrived before you did anything silly?

I thought Scenic Drive isn't so good for noobs? I haven't ridden it but I've read on here that there are drivers pulling out of driveways or stopping in the middle of the road around blind corners?
