Which road do you own?

[HTFU]

I ride State Highway 31/39 from Otorohanga to Hamilton 3-4 times per week, I know the road pretty well and hardly see another rider on my regular rides.

I therefore lay claim to this road as mine.

Not only is it my most regular road but also the part from Otorohanga to Pirongia is one of my favourite rides. I actually like the higher speed corners over my other local which is the back road from Otorohanga to Te Awamutu via Ouruwhero - Pokuru roads. I could claim both but my favourite is that section of Highway 31.

If you also like this section of road (doesn't have to be your favourite just one you agree is a nice ride) and accept I am its most regular rider then green bling for me. If you to think you also have rights to it then red bling me (have to put in a reason) :Playnice:

Then - post the road you consider your local and that you think you can lay claim to (google map if you can). People can bling you green to acknowledge its a nice road and that yes you do indeed own it or red bling and try and make claim to it themselves. :Playnice: :2thumbsup

This is not a pissing contest on who rides it the fastest, rather who rides that section of road the most.

Verbena Road - Birkdale is totally mine.



GOOD LUCK TO ALL ON DEFENDING YOUR TURF!!!

[Grub]

I commute this road twice a day - I obviously pleased the gods once.

There are 157 corners between Grays Rd in the south and the stop sign on SH1 at Paekakariki, a journey of 11.1km's. That's
- 14.1 corners per km, or
- a corner every 70.7 meters

... it's just a barrell of fun and does gangbusters for your riding. I am past trying to do it at light-speed and now work on holding a constant speed (80kmh) for the whole road. That's not quite possible as there's one 25 and one 35kmh corner but man it focuses the mind and hones your techo skills.

[Maha]

From here to the Four Square, do it every day, I swear I could do it at night with a tinted visor. Only one corner to watch out for, by the Fire Station, can get ya if ya carefull...:sweatdrop

This is what the rep system is for surely ?:2thumbsup

I would say 22 as I love that road despite its foibles....... but I think I would be hung drawn and quartered as we all know our favourite Scot lays claim to that piece of tarmac/dirt/pea metal......

[Hitcher]

Cody Wyoming to Red Lodge Montana, via the Chief Joseph Highway (Route 296) and the Beartooth Highway (Route 212). Just a whisker under 11,000 feet above sea level at the summit. Grizzly Bear country. Allegedly the best motorcycle road in the USA. I don't disagree. How many times have you ridden around the top of a quad chairlift -- on a sealed road?

:Oi: You thieving bastard, that's MY GODDAM ROAD!!!!! I ride it several times a week as well!! It's part of my "petrol-saving commute" from Glenview to Hillcrest....:rofl:
BUT I usually go south on it since I live at the northern end.......so maybe you can have rights for south to north and I could have north to south.....OR since I ride it usually early in the day, maybe we could time share....? What time do you do the trip?
I will look out for you from now on - I am in the black gear on a red SV650S...and I usually wave....(if I have time....) How will I know its you?

And yes I do agree the best bit is between Otorohanga and Pirongia....maybe I will do it clockwise some time too......nice post BTW.....:D

P.S. I will have to try that back route from Otorohanga to Te Awamutu - thought there must be something better than SH3.....

I also like the Kihikihi - Parawera - Arapuni road as well. Can go up either side of the river to Cambridge but west bank looks better although I missed the turnoff last time out....

[madbikeboy]

I don't own a Jeep or BMW SUV. So, clearly since all those arrogant fuckers own the road, I don't own any.

But, owning a Suzuki, I do own the (Taupo) racetrack - :doh: (someone had to do it...).

[NOMIS]

the 35 km corners on statehightway 16 and the ones through kaukopakopa ( spelling ) did alsmost go a tad wrong after coming a bit hot into one . im sure I could get my knee on the ground through there if I had sliders.... not that im trying to I just love thoes corners

None, and all... they are all owned by the gooberment... which in turn since I am a tax payer I one of the bosses of gooberment... therefore I own them.. :scratch:

[hang0ver]

I'd like to think I own the Eastbourne bays... Only others I see on it are Scooteratzi & weekend warriors.

[martybabe]

Have a look at this, you'll see it's appeal even though none of you will know it. All the loops link together and the traffic is light. I tried to include it on all my excursions and every bike I test rode went through there for, ahem, assessment.

It's known as the clover leaf and I reckon I rode it more than enyone else, so I guess I own it.

I own the road from Tauranga to Okororie. Fookin woop.

Ridden the kaimiais ridiculous amounts of times. Used to get home from school and head up there untill dark.

Okororie I started doing more of a bit later, so someone could take the road from the turnoff if they want.

Scotsman Valley Rd :


Yeah - I like that one too...but i don't own it.....

I do SVR about 5 times a week, and onto Walton - more in the summer. Love the sweeping 100mph corners and blind crests - especially the downhill section towards Starkey Rd.

Apologies for quoting your embed Marty - I didn't expect it to reappear. I was about to edit it out but the shop got busy and I had to leave it for a bit to gather some revenue.......and so I got "the warning" instead.....it was a gen-u-wine mistake.......

You could have come up tomorrow and helped me put my new fork internals in. Then we could have seen who owned the Coro Hill. Either way, it would have been a good result with a Honda owning it:whistle:

Every day, 200km per week. Some sweeping corners, some twisties (along the Inlet) to keep you awake, with a few straights.

However plenty of other bikers travel it each day, so can't claim it.
