was there a rock slide, what conditions were the roads in?

[Nivosus]

Yah it was a good ride. Not really sure what happened in the end with the whole split up /shrug i went looking for the "starting group" after gasing up in whitianga but supposedly you had just gone straight through to tairua. So i obviously wouldnt of found anyone haha. After that i assumed the others had gone ahead. waited around for a bit sent some txt's then just rode through to themes again and met up with ppl again for the painful straight road ride back to akl haha.

photo's are kewl! no serious dramas which was good Nice to meet you ppl's hopefully can do something similar when exams at over T_T

or when there'll be another newbie who I can stick with while the rest of the pack runs away at 120km/h

Lets organise a slow coro run some time for all the gutless bikes, I have the same problem

[TwoShades]

Cheers everyone for a great ride, here's my single picture contribution. Not really many chances to take out the camera and pose really.

Was my first ride up coromandel and loved blasting up the coast until we got stuck behind traffic. Coro to whitianga was slower but just as good, shame about the bin though. From then on, everything started to ache and return trip didn't end up being as pleasant.

Pleasantly suprised how the bike went with my girlfriend on the back, at times like she wasn't even there. - I tried my best to shake her off but she wouldn't let go

All up great day! Hopefully I'll see you again next time I venture out.

Thanks for putting up with my crap riding for part of the way everyone - hope you all enjoyed the rest of the ride.

And thanks aewilliams for lookin out for me

I'll go on a ride when I don't suck so much, or when there'll be another newbie who I can stick with while the rest of the pack runs away at 120km/h

Come ride with me! (after you done your tyre, at least front one to Pirelli )

So you went home in half way yea???? How was it??

Friend request sent

haha yeah, not bad timing aye

Did you see me waving hardout to let you know that they already went to motorway?

oh crap...was it a Banzai at the traffic lights going trigger happy with the camera? i was thinking "bloody asian tourists" - lucky for the green lights, couldnt get my pants down quick enough to moon ya.

Yeah good timing fo sho! (late as usual i am...) or should i say, what the heck is with you guys leaving on time for once?!?! Wouldve had to be an immediate departure for Autobahn...and be subsequently lost amidst the 50 or so other bikes there (do i exaggerate?)

AND....If it wasn't for Choco catching up, there would have been no confident Coro-guide. Churrrs yaw!

So you on Orange Kawa? So not RS250???

I tried to take good shot but then that Audi came so I couldnt get any good photo eh....

shame about the bin though.

Who binned??????

[GSXR Trace]

Hey hope everyone and their bikes!!! got back to Ak ok without loosing any more parts! ???
Thanks for showing me the way, and sorry for being a little slow over the range after seeing the bin on a relatively easy corner... had to get my mind off going down and back to riding!

And sorry for leaving you guys in whitianga, but didn't know where in town you were, and didn't want to get left behind because i didn't know the way

[TOTO]

bin ?

fak !

[motorbyclist]

damn, you know you've been riding a while when you recognise crashes you see in demotivators

[Choco]

bin ?

I've got pic's but only posting with permission.

yeah the end of the ride got a bit messed up, ah well it was still fun!
Man i need a quieter helmet though! ear were hurting even with earplugs and then this morning at work the bloody 70000Db alarm went off right next to me, Twice!

[Timati]

Turned out to be a good ride although went as far as Thames and bumped into Dan, Kyle and Ehab. Was too wasted from the previous night of no sleep to continue riding...There's always next week :-)

[motorbyclist]

perhaps in the future we should have rides start at a reasonable hour

and if someone organises a ride they had better show up to run the fucking thing

What's a reasonable hour? Thought 9.30 was a good start and thought David took the lead to run the ride..

[Choco]

Why do A. vibrations B. Microsoft Movie Maker, C. youtube all have to kill video quality?

Better see where else i can mount the camera and do more 'testing' on open roads

Who was on the Hornet 900 in front of me? I totally forgot your name

Whos on that classic looking Kawasaki? What bike is it?

[TwoShades]

I thought the quality of the video was alright. Did you shoot any more?

If I'd remembered you were filming I would have tried to catch up to make an appearance.

Might have to try fitting a camera to mine next time.
