Popular Post Shakotom Posted June 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2017 It's finally time for the first Auckland Scooter ride! so grab your junk out from the back of the shed, get it running/remove the baffles and raid your local op shop for a denim vest!SAVE THE DATE! Sunday, August 27th. A decent jaunt around central Auckland, starting in Ponsonby with a coffee and including a cruise down Queen Street, Mission Bay and the Auckland Domain, ending back in Ponsonby for a refreshing beverage. This event is hosted by Moped NZ, the ride will be lead by Mopeds, However, the event itself is open to all mopeds/scooters/small bikes. The older, and more chopped up, obscure and brappy; the better. However, new and standard mopeds/scooters/small bikes are welcome and encouraged. Speeds won't exceed 60kph, there will be several stops along the 40+km route for photo/maintenance opportunities. Safety is paramount and your responsibility, so just make sure you've got your wits about you, Helmet, 'current rego' etc etc. ride at your own risk-we are not responsible for you- you are your own problem. The ride starts at Service Denim 208 Ponsonby road MOREINFOADDEDHERE: START TIMES. Plan on meeting at Service Denim at 1030am for a departure time of around 11. For the true Aucklander Experience there is a coffee shop (Rocket Espresso) right by our start point and you should have enough time to grab a extra skinny decaffee soy mochalatte to sip on whilst leaning against your moped and intimidating passerbys PARKING. For those of you who are coming from out of town or don't trust their scooters enough to ride in, there is free car parking on the side roads in the surrounding area off Ponsonby road and there should be enough space for trailers ect. Find somewhere to park, unload and ride up to Service Denim. We will be meeting out front of service denim. There's two car parks and hopefully one will free up for us to meet in/otherwise just pile on the footpath. Finish point will be in about the same place. GAS. There are a couple of gas stations close to the start point. It's about a 40km loop planned so make sure you have adequate fuel. Mobil 565 Karangahape Road Z 5-9 Williamson Avenue BP 47 Jervois Road And there's a few on the route if need be. DURATION: When we did a run through the other day it took about 3 hours to do the loop. Including stopping for lunch and sharns on the way. Plan on stopping for lunch -fish and chips ect at mission bay. Link to Facebook event : https://www.facebook.com/events/1881486295446572/?ti=icl Pretty much just a low key disturbance of Auckland City and a chance to meet some others and try get the scene in AKL going Spread the word, any questions, just ask here, or ask @Shakotom, @GuyWithAviators Or @MopedNZ. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mop Head Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Pining so bad for this ride. Been a long time coming. Rain, hail, shine, meteor shower, rangitoto eruption; nothing can stop this from going down. Here's a photo from the last impromptu Sunday beer ride in The Mount for good measure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
