Nurmbar 2!
Thank Aewilliam for being the start of the show!
Freaky how similar it was to the last corro loop

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.

Thanks man, remind me on the next trip and you can become a star

As for camera fitting I recommend good old fashioned trial and error!
My mount used a spanner, part of a window latch, two random washers sourced from different things and half a meter of ductape so get CREATIVE!

Practice makes perfect eh?

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

Yup...kwaka was moi - don't tell the plod aye!
helluva easier to handle than the RS
And more shiny "Candy burnt orange" seems to be official Kwaka-ese for it...

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

touche! 9ish is a sweet start!

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

The rider of Spidey the horny hornet was 2wheelJunkie aka Kyle.
I believe others are referred to as mini-Bomma, but alas Kyle it aint.
Guess it would be up to the namesake to decide who gets to acquire the venerable title of mini-Bomma, if the namesake-ee was accepting of it.

Nurmbar 2!

bah, futile attempt to remain unrecognised with different jacket!!!
managed to keep my arse on the sat this time tho...more or less...
in the clip from previous Coro loop, did you back off the gas or did i wring on more?!?!? heres hoping i DIDNT wring on more...cos that would be dumb...

Yup, true dat.

i got the learn

but you got 2 more cylinders than me! *forgetting about the extra 400cc i gots...

looking to more uphill twisty action when possible aye...outside school hols if it reduces the likelihood of close encounters of the caravan/SUV/MPV/non-bike kind.

If only if it wasnt for Transit New Zealand and those long stretches of kink-free road that lie betwixt Symonds St and Thames...

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

i find mounting it on some foam helps cut out vibration

movie maker is a nightmare

and yeah, youtube is a pain but there are guys out tehre who have found good settings for encoding that mean youtube doesn't rape it so badly

ehab "organised" the ride, jafa defaulted


9:00, while reasonable to the rest of the general population, clearly isn't ideal for the student population, especially when that means leaving home at 8:30 on a saturday morning


then again, this is just because we are pretty slack...

Haha, bumped into Ehab at about 10ish at Autobahn with Kyle and Dan. Didn't know David didn't make it. Anyway, agree that someone should take the lead in running the rides if no one turns up or at least have a forgivable excuse or face the consequences haha.

9.30 is a good start I reckon. Not too early not too late.

[PirateJafa]

You skinny prick.
I'm AVERAGE, 50KG's is NOT NORMAL.

Tell that to weight-watchers, chubby.

I did make the ride.

I wasn't intending to take charge of the ride else I'd've been careful to ensure I didn't turn up with a splitting hangover. Generally if I want to run the ride, I'll organise it from the get-go, rather than on the day when the original planner decides he can't make his own ride.

Leaving uni at 9AM is a pretty good time. Assuming you don't piss around too much, it usually means that you can hit Whitianga around lunchtime.

[ehab2weelr]

yea u can post the pics cuz. i binned but this time i didnt do anything wrong, it was like what happened to the viffer just slipped from under me round a bend at like 20kh just like that i was sliding on my ars or more like tumbling all over the place according to kyle. not too much damage but still some money has to be lost some time....hahah

[Blakomen]

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

I'm totally up for it I need moar practice and turns practice and practice and practice and practice! Hell it doesn't even have to be coro :P

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??

I guess I better start saving $$$ then

I went home at...uh, I don't remember, Jafa will probably remember, I'm not particularly familiar with the route - I don't think it was actually half way either, maybe 1/4? 100km or so in. The little slice of country corners I did do was fun, but yeah, I was pretty much out of my league in terms of powar and skillz

by the way, where would you recommend to get the tyre changed? cycletreads?
