Awsome day out, have not pushed the ducatasauras like that before ( only had it just over a month) or myself ( 10/12 year break) fuck the list gets bigger...rebuild front fork....sticky tyres...steering damper..........sigh...new rear shocks, one is puking oil out.

Or do i need one fuck off fast jappa toy again..........divorce looms.

Again great day, put a few "names" to faces but as creeping old age will do to ya I have C.R.A.F.T. symdrome ( can't remember a fucking thing) I will need to meet ya all again some time.

So much for 'The Great Coro Burger Fest', I ate a toasted sandwich!!

Twas an awesome ride today, I think we averaged around 25 bikes, good riders too. Loved those roads from Waihi thru to Whangamata which I followed Beyond on his GSX1400, mate you can ride that thing and you've got a great riding style around them corners too!

Coro Loop was in fairly good nick today, but about 20kms heading south from Coro town as i'm blasting up the hill toward the lookout I rode over an obscured bump in the road which threw me out of my seat and moved the whole bike kinda sideways about 2 foot, scared the living daylights out of me! Gixser was following and said it was quite a sight, pity your video camera wasn't working mate!!

Good to see a couple of Norfland boys make the effort to come down and join us, T.I.E and DMNTD. I'm glad you're happy with your new Aprilia TIE, a few more rides like today and you'll be well acquainted with it! Hope you got back to Whangarei safe n sound 2nite.

Was fun riding with y'all again, looking forward to next time. Couple of crappy phone pics attached.

Yes well....that was the first time ever that i've been publicly told off for touching someones bike! Here I was chatting away with 3 or 4 other bikers, completely surrounded by bikes in the Coroglen pub carpark, and all the while I was subconsciously opening and closing the petrol cap key flap on someones bike when the owner came up to me and in a rather dry serious tone said "go and play with someone else's bike!"

Well I won't do THAT again in a hurry lol!

Just got in. Zed, that lump is probably the one my mate G hit on the R1.
Couldn't be seen and he hit it on a tight left hander. Tossed him into a full on tank slapper which he couldn't get back under control. Threw him into the other lane and as luck would have it, a van comes around the corner. It wasn't looking pretty for a split second but G managed to wrestle it the left a bit to avoid a full head on, but hit the side of the van real hard, then went down and over the bank.

Sorry I didn't stop all, but had to get G back home. Just as well I did, he has a broken hand and a major Heamatoma on his leg and is in hospital.

Tomorrow I go back to a local farm to get his bike with his brother. It may be a writeoff.

G is a real good rider and I honestly never thought I would see the day he had an accident

Other than the two offs and the blown motor on the kawa, it was a great day.
Good to meet more people and a great run. Thanks Steve.

Far out! That is the same *bump* I believe Paul. When I rode over it my 1st thought was that it needs to be repaired. A couple of other riders had a small scare over it but you obviously have to hit it in a certain area to get the full brunt of it! Real sorry to hear your mate had a close call with death today, but glad he is still alive and in good care now. Please send him my/our best wishes.

Beyond, I hope all is well with your friend , you`re having a bad time of it aren`t you mate .

**Ozzie** · 16th September 2006, 23:26

Geeze, the second off is news to me

, really sorry to hear about it, please pass on my regards.

I did take a couple of little pix with my phone, they won't be great, but they did get all 33 bikes in. I will post them on Monday, didn't bring my lead home.

Had a great day, sorry i missed the full loop, maybe next time. Was great to meet a few more people, if i go on enough of these who knows, i might get to the point when i know everyone that went on it. I'm a bit shy you see, don't get around much to chit chat, a few new faces each ride.

Great day, 10 points for the organiser, hope to see you all again soon.
