A poke in the eye with a sharp stick to the first person to point out they can do it faster on a sport bike.....

EDIT

Seems the above comment is being takin out of its intended context, Its not a challenge for someone to do it faster, Its an acknowledgment that a sports bike would tear though there at a much faster rate of knots, I was merely trying to headoff 100's of sports bike riders pointing out the obvious.

Dont know about a sprotsbike but have done it quicker on a chook chaser.:Pokey:

[redeye40]

Great footage of a great piece of road,oh and I'll take that poke in the eye thanks:laugh:

[MSTRS]

Hey, the fences there are 5 wire and batten jobs!! Always thought they were 6x1 butted palings....:dodge:

[skelstar]

Shit the start is a bit dull so didn't watch the rest sorry. Man those video-wipes were a bit tiresome ;)

[tri boy]

Yay. My old scratcher road in the eighties. Upuck to Raetihi time used to be in the low 50min area if my memory recalls correctly.
Rg500s, RZ500s, CBXs, GSXs etc
Twenty odd mates caning it up to the old Falls store.:Punk:
Lost a couple of mates due to crashes:(, but we all knew the risks.
Ministry of Works use to do a good job keeping it open and in good nick.
Modern day trucks have destroyed the surfaces, and some of the drainage systems arn't working too well.
I'll take that poke in the eye:shutup:

Perhaps the children and Ghost rider superstars like yourself should have your own forum to post worthless fluff in? Its not a race, Its a ride on a HD.

Its no skin off my nose if its not to your interest, How long exactly has the world revolved around you anyway?

Live long and prosper,Ghost Rider Superstar.

Lmfao.

The mentality round here is easily worth the admission price.

[Cr1MiNaL]

calm down i think someone mentioned who can do it faster or something so i was expecting some l33t riding but instead...... if he didnt i wudnt evn hav bothered posting... rofl. MA BAD enjoy ur HD !

[Headbanger]

Go back to school, That post is atrocious.

[Headbanger]

Anyhow, The point I was trying to make about saying they can do it faster was because its a redundant statement, Just about any rider could do it at a faster rate of knots on a more capable bike.

Believe it or not riding a HD though that section of road (once the hill starts) is a bit of a handful.

[MSTRS]

Believe it or not riding a HD though that section of road (once the hill starts) is a bit of a handful.

Surely, you just give it a bit of a handful, and the rest is history, as they say??

[Goblin]

Believe it or not riding a HD though that section of road (once the hill starts) is a bit of a handful.Bit of a handful? Bit of an understatement.:shutup:

You completely miss the point of a cruiser...

[Katman]

:yawn:Is it finished yet?:msn-wink:

[Cr1MiNaL]

You completely miss the point of a cruiser...

and .. coming from u, I'm mighty ashamed :zzzz:

[kiwifruit]

nice perspective
what sorta cam is it?

[zeocen]

Coming from me? Not sure what that means..

Just because I have a 'sports bike', doesn't mean I don't appreciate other models, it's called variety. Was a nice video I thought, showed some good scenery.

[Cr1MiNaL]

O.o OK MA BAD !!! geezzz *mumbles to himself who can do it faster...etc...*

[Headbanger]

Its a dedicated helmet camera purchased from an American company a couple of years ago.

Seems they now have a New Zealand distributer http://www.helmetcamera.co.nz/

If you click on my Youtube profile there is more helmet camera footage, Though off road. (and on an ATV which should upset the purists)

[Boob Johnson]

I just watched it, have travelled the road many times, cool vid man, perfect music for the badboy harley image :Punk:

[Groins_NZ]

Good video - haven't been up the Paraparas for a while now (6 months?), love riding it except for the jewed up road surface. Thanks for posting.

[Winston001]

Astonishing at how good the anti-shake works on that cam. You're on a Harley yet it almost seems smooth....... I mean, how likely is that?? :innocent:

[Headbanger]

No doubt it can be attributed to the couch that serves as my seat.:Punk:

[mdooher]

:scooter:Not bad... try to leave your turn ins a little later though... you seem to be being thrown to the outside on your exit...:scooter: nah just taking the piss, I doubt I could a pilot a harley so well :yes:

Coming from the Raetihi end, is the sign that's on my avatar. That's where the twisties are. The sign is 15 k from Raetihi.

(I know you were taking the piss, but someone else might be interested.....)

[Headbanger]

Hmmm...Seems that since I posted the link for the company that sells the cameras they have removed the NZ page.

This would be the next nearest.

Though for a lot cheaper you can just buy a comparable bullet camera.

Great vid. I enjoyed it.
I'm not a Harley fan but would love to have a naked to do just that sort of thing...

[boomer]

pervert...

[oldrider]

I enjoyed your vid for what you intended and the naked bike made it even better but the music man.....! Far out.....!

I wanted to hear the Harley note not the music note!

We went through there last trip up North and I wondered what the fuss was all about but we were riding slow and rubber necking!

Your vid was interesting and gave me a better appreciation of the road.

Thanks for posting it I enjoyed it. :yes: Cheers John.

[Edbear]

Cool vid! On our last rider through the Waipoua Forest with a C90. two Softails and a Low Rider, the Low Rider arrived 5 min after the rest of us at the Opononi lookout and he muttered , "Now I know why it's called a LOW RIDER!"
