XTC and I did a 4 day tour of the east cape area on our XT's.
Based ourselves in Ohope in the Bay Of Plenty.
Day 1 was getting their from Auckland went via Rotorua and the back way through the lakes.
Day 2 did the Motu Rd, Whakarua Rd to Gisbourne (for petrol), Wairoa (for petrol) then up 38 and round Lake Waikaremoana to Murapara and back to Ohope. A dam good ride for adventure bikes and a full days riding. The Motu Rd took us about 1.5hrs alone!
Day 3 we stuck to the seal and went round the cape and back up 2 thru Waioeka Gorge (lived in Whakatane for 18 years and this was the first time I did it) :weird:
Great ride for all.
Day 4 was back to Alk and family direct :woohoo:
1800km in the four days and the XT's did well. Will be doing that again, Motu Rd especially :ride:
