i did this trip in 2 days, the return trip was done from kaitia to the cape, back to kaitia, whangerei, then orewa that night.
that was 15 hours straight riding on a moped with a top speed of 55kph

good on ya mate. there's a lot of naysayers and fun police that diss on you, but you're out there doing it, learning and experiencing. you probably did more k's in 1 trip on that jog in a few days than some wankoff fun police do in a summer.

Nice vid there Carver! Legend Top effort. Like the passing of the bikes in the gravel! Bet it was a laugh of a ride.

[ManDownUnder]

Carver, that was cool!

Pure fucken class man...

[JMemonic]

Carver you normally don't rate in my book I am going to be brutally honest, I have read your antics and seen a few of the vids but this effort I had to green rep you for.

Good effort.

A very good video there Carver.

Alright first of all, you are crazy/ brave having done that trip. Also secondly whoever the camera man was, they have some very good skills on video photography (or whatever thats called).

Also the part when you say infront of the camera, you didn't really say "Umm..." or any sign of hesitation, which is excellent.

I havn't really seen a bikers video like this since the Long Way Down/Round. I actually watched the whole video and I enjoyed all of it. You have my kudos.

I havn't yet checked the one on the Google Video however little more speaking would have been really entertaining. Very nicely done

Frankly speaking, how did you feel when you over took the DL and the other bike on the gravels? haha

P.S. When you are going to do another adventure like that let me know, It wont be much but I will sponsor you with some fuel money. An epic video.

Nice one bud.

Can I have your babies?.

the one on google is currently being worked on.
passing the vstrom was a laugh, the scooter was real good on the gravel.
there is no camera man, just me, with the atc3k on the side of my helmet, and people i asked to film me, morcs did the bridge stuff, some randoms did the beach and stream stuff...
i wanted to make a vid for you guys, you are my biggest fans

[limbimtimwim]

I loved it. Thanks.

Was it toldlessly boring riding the Jog on the highway?
Isn't it illegal to ride on the motorway / Harbour Bridge if you can't do 100km/h?
Didja fall off or get stuck on 90-Mile Beach?
Has your arse recovered?
How much fuel did you use?

Y'know, I sometimes think that you're a [insert name here], but I take my hat off to you for embarking on an epic adventure like this. Well done!
It's what biking's all about, innit?

I laughed when you passed those guys on bikes - they obviously hadn't twigged that the best way to ride on that road is to keep your speed up. I went up there with the vifferbabe on the back of the VFR, and soon worked that one out. Even dragged off one of those quad racers (must've been a noob).

I was tempted to ride all the way down the path to the lighthouse - it was earlyish in the day, and there was no-one much around to tell us off, and it was quite a hike back up the hill carrying all our gear.

yeah, it was
the cops said sweet if i stayed in the slow lane
it was funny, i was going full tilt on the jog
i fell off on the way back down 90 mile beach, it was high tide, the scooter sat at 15-25kph for 2 hours, the slime the sea deposits is super slippery.
my arse was prepared by the "scooter culture" video.
seriously, yes, it did hurt after 2 hours.
to get there i used about 30 litres at a guess.

Passing those other fuckers on the road up to the lighthouse...

Well. That takes me back. I flatted with a guy in Christchurch back in 1967 who had a Puch scooter...which he rode down to Chch from Hamilton...not sure how long it took him but he did get there in one piece...nice ride Carver...
