Waiheke ride?

[Damon]

Hey guys, i've never been to Waiheke and thought i'd go for a ride over there at some stage.

Is it worth it or are all the roads 50km? how much does the ferry cost?

Is anyone interested in comming along once i sort a date?

Miiiiight be interested...

i went across there on my old gpx250 stayed the night. going back a few years.
there a few segments of 80kph roads but they don't last long. a fair bit of lose metal. and they are slow windy bits. but overall i think its a bit of fun.
as long as your just interested in doing the tourist thing and not a race but a slow waddle. stop at a few cafe's etc, a bit of a walk.

but i think its a fun thing going on a car ferry with the bike and it's worth the trip.

the whole island can be covered in a day easily with stops. definately pick your day. as if bad weather has been a problem there the roads can get messy.

but hey its a bit of fun and something different for sure.

and give me a holla if ya serious about it for a day trip id tag along.
just need some warning.

Yeah,
It's a bit pricy.
I wanted to go just to see Moto-Kiwi [ the main man for Guzzi parts in NZ] but after being pillion on his bike around the island, it only took 10 mins to do a lap and its all 50km/h as far as I could tell, and real busy on the weekends.
Its almost cheaper to cross cook straight as it is to go there- crazy eh?

It's pootle around at low speed - but still very beautiful - better for a weekend at the beach than a day ride. 2 hours and it's all roads covered.

and they have some great places to drink at.
oh drink and bike thats just not fair.
things ya can't do together. ya want ya cake and eat it too?
but on their own things i am not good at. but the practice is the best part.
