    Hmmm can't say i've seen any careless speeding thru residential areas on any of the half dozen Coro loop rides i've been on over the last year, everyone always slows right down when the speed signs appear entering the towns, respect is shown. And if that ride of yoshi's is the one i'm thinking of then that was a bit of a disaster in more ways than one!

    Track is good seperates the squids from the real riders, any one can seem fast on the road. The only diffrence I find between the track and road is you do the same corners over and over, so if you have half a brain you can rember how you took it last time what works and what dont.
    In saying that I have only been on the track 3 times.

    oh, it would keep up with the 250's and be fun in the twisties for sure!!

    yeah, would be a lot of fun, but i dont have decent rubber... back is almost on indicators.... and the fxr is almost ready to be sold so i can get a bigger bike... so trying not to put many kms on her.....
    i'd come for sure if i had another bike.... maybe like a ZXR250.....

    The beauty of Coro is that the cops can't snap you on the good bits.
    Just take it easy through the towns and the lower speed zones and the straights and save it for the twisties. Many of the tighter areas you'd be quite hard pressed to achieve license losing speeds or much over 20kph ontop of the open road limit.

    Yep, easier said than done. There's even a few little wee shorty straights in some of those real twisty bits where, errrmmm, ahhh, nuff said.

    BUT, I have always stuck to the limit through the 50 and 70k areas the last half a dozen times through. Korn can vouch for that as he has too.

    Ok, I've registered, weather permitting. Smoking Joe may be along as well as a couple of my mates. Hope Coroglen has had a pre alert on 20 odd hungry bikers descending on their premises, to clean them out of buns, eggs, steak, bacon, lettuce, carrot, cheese, beetroot, pineapple.... drool, dribble, dribble...
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.
