I'd be keen depending on the dates and route/destination.

JDMCBR is having a decent one on January 13.

First ride for 2010 to be held on Wednesday 13th to Palm Beach VIA McCarrs Creek.

Meeting at Harry's at 7pm for a 7.45pm SHARP departure.

Heading over the Harbour Bridge, Cahill expressway, Right onto the Pacific Highway, Right Mona Vale Road, Left McCarr's Creek Road. Onto Palm Beach from there.

Finish off at dinner at Dumpling King on King Street, Newtown

All welcome, best behaviour recommended. Please familiarise yourselves with the above directions so you don't get lost.

[RoNi_SiZe]

[Twincam16]

Any update to this - we should set a date, location and get a list of names

[rpm boy]

[RoNi_SiZe]

dare I suggest old pacific highway?

[Twincam16]

Im down for anywhere, comon boys dont be shy lol

I like the national park run. Great places to stop and eat/relax, good ride, a lot of it is under shad from trees so its good for a hot day

Nothing wrong with a 250 Perry.

Look at me, I've been on my full licence for a good while now and I still putt around on a 250!

I know you have but you have a decent car to drive now to compensate it ;).

[Twincam16]

CBR250's or CB1300's it doesnt matter, it should be a good ride! Weather has been good lately, not too hot

[bennjamin]

I'll be there if I have a bike that works :)

[Perry]

Whats wrong with it Ben?

[Zilli]

depending on when i would like to come along too!

[dogcrapau]

im up

[bennjamin]

Whats wrong with it Ben?

fuel pump failed awhile back , been sitting and needs a carb balance now too. Bleh its hard sourcing parts for a 21 year old bike lol.

[RoNi_SiZe]

Bah!

We need an executive decision on the time, date & place of this cruise.

Someone plz just dominate & do this!

I don't feel I'm senior enough as a member to do so.

[dogcrapau]

if the event is soon im up..

[RoNi_SiZe]

I'm just gonna throw 20th Feb, Old Pacific Highway out there. 11am-12pm meet there.

[Perry]

Where does everyone live? would be good to meet up before hand?

[Twincam16]

Marrickville

[bennjamin]

ofcourse. Organise a meeting point then go from there.

Great for a terrigal type cruise....none of this hooning thru the city n back.

[Twincam16]

Somewhere central - Homebush?

If we meet there we can take the one road... Centennary Drv > Roberts Rd > King Georges > Princes HWY... this takes us all the way to National Park entrance at Loftus - maybe head through natio towards Stanwell Tops... get some grub on the way

Its one long ride though... worth it though

Im up for anywhere though, never ridden to Terrigal before

[Perry]

I guess Homebush will be a good meeting point.

[Zilli]

20th is out for me boys sorry... but a homebush meet is great

[RoNi_SiZe]

bah I'm up for whatever, old pac or nat park it's all good!

[bennjamin]

Got a bike that works now - let's organise something cruisy

[RoNi_SiZe]

Let's!!!!!!!

[jdm_kid]

im in ! i can prob bring about 10 other people aswell lol

do it.

[Zilli]

i think before we consider doing such a thing, we set out some ground rules, give the route to interested members via PM, and ensure everyone has a good time...

what sort of pace is this ride going to be at?

Keep it at speed limit, its not easy when you ride in a group and one rider gets going and everyone else does the same - learners tend to push themselves too far on roads keeping up with the bigger/more experienced riders.

A lot of riders die on those roads speeding through twisties and commiting to the blind corners, there is also a heap of turns which are a lot sharper than you expect, too fast and you can run them too wide. Good thing is there are a lot of areas in natio which are 100km zones and open roads, easy to give it a run there.

Everyone who is in post up your bike details and we can edit first post

eg. Twincam16 - RVF400

[bennjamin]

imo

keep it an easy run no twisties. I want a lazy sunday cruze and no thrashing it.
I dont want to have to fully suit up....just normal jeans decent shoes and the normal gloves and a jacket. No need to show off or keep up with anyone.





Manly because my bike has less than 200ks on it and i cant hit HYPER VTEC yet.

Natio isnt just twisties, its a good mix, lot of shade too.

Too many speed cameras, cracked roads and straight lines going to Manly. Plus parking there may be a problem for 20+ riders.

[Perry]

I'm in Perry: cbr250rr/zx2r

[Zilli]

i agree... i think we need to make the route clear to all involved... im not even going to try to chase down a sport bike, even at speed limit... its not my style, and not what i want for the ride... if we want to gun it lets organise a track day...

So speed limit it is... In any case, depending on the size of the group, im sure there will be different people who will ride at different speeds.... and thats fine i guess
