it sure is an awsome road.
but remember this.....
the minute u dont respect the hill it will kick your ass as a lot of people have found out including me.

also watch out for cars pulling out of drive ways. That was something i never thought about until it hapnd to me.

keep er on two wheels and expect the unexpected and you'll have many great rides over the hill brother. :rockon:

And watch out for boy racers on your side of the road.
And watch out for Pajeros and other wankie-suvs on your side of the road.
And watch out for Joe Law on your side of the road.
And watch out for gravel on the line through corners.
And watch out for teenage girls on big horses.

The Paekak hill is fantastic but treat it with respect at all times. Don't know about other riders but I have great difficulty seeing through rock.

Good to see you like the hill mate. It's a good piece of road alright. Every now and then though you have to pay the rent however. Me and MotoXX have paid ours recently.

See you out there sometime.

:niceone:
haven't done the paraparas since the floods, is there still a road to ride??
another good road when riding north is SH54 (fielding to Vinegar Hill), very cool. will give you a good impression of just what your bike can do.
when i lived in welly p hill was our home track, me and the boys have a few home vids of us riding the hill. its a very cool road without parallel (that i have found yet)
but remember i have seen, heard and talked to many people whom have crashed up there and it an't pretty. i suppose thats why the fuzz parks up on the straight (porirua side) these days.

Its right outside # 465 on the heading north side. Hav a chat to sparky bills hes seen it. i havent seen it yet tho. apparently its in two parts where i got off the brakes to try and avoid the vehicle.

it was 2 weeks ago tho but i dont think it would be gone.
also i was out with sparky bills the other night and him and another mate knew the exact green landrover discovery i was talking about. both had issues with it before. :crazy:

Yep that was the piss up.
That 4wd has met me heaps. And my middle finger!
The skid marks of Moto's are gone, but the spray paint where they marked it is still there. That hill has claimed me three times so far. I know to repect it.
When you do, It is HEAPS of fun!
I saw lots of bikes that night, I might have seen you Darkninja.
I made sure I waved/nodded to everyone.
Was also good to catch up with Jimbo and his new bike at the look out the other night too.
When is my test ride coming?

Go see White Trash mate, I'm sure he can hook you up a demonstrator. The only people who can ride my bike are me and folk who can do 5th gear wheelies.
