i did this trip in 2 days, the return trip was done from kaitia to the cape, back to kaitia, whangerei, then orewa that night.
that was 15 hours straight riding on a moped with a top speed of 55kph

good on ya mate. there's a lot of naysayers and fun police that diss on you, but you're out there doing it, learning and experiencing. you probably did more k's in 1 trip on that jog in a few days than some wankoff fun police do in a summer.

Nice vid there Carver! Legend:Punk: Top effort. Like the passing of the bikes in the gravel! Bet it was a laugh of a ride.

[ManDownUnder]

:clap: Carver, that was cool!

Pure fucken class man...

[JMemonic]

Carver you normally don't rate in my book I am going to be brutally honest, I have read your antics and seen a few of the vids but this effort I had to green rep you for.

Good effort.

[EJK]

A very good video there Carver.

Alright first of all, you are crazy/ brave having done that trip. Also secondly whoever the camera man was, they have some very good skills on video photography (or whatever thats called).

Also the part when you say infront of the camera, you didn't really say "Umm..." or any sign of hesitation, which is excellent.

I havn't really seen a bikers video like this since the Long Way Down/Round. I actually watched the whole video and I enjoyed all of it. You have my kudos.

I havn't yet checked the one on the Google Video however little more speaking would have been really entertaining. Very nicely done :niceone:

Frankly speaking, how did you feel when you over took the DL and the other bike on the gravels? haha

P.S. When you are going to do another adventure like that let me know, It wont be much but I will sponsor you with some fuel money. An epic video.

[Madness]

Nice one bud.

Can I have your babies?.

the one on google is currently being worked on.
passing the vstrom was a laugh, the scooter was real good on the gravel.
there is no camera man, just me, with the atc3k on the side of my helmet, and people i asked to film me, morcs did the bridge stuff, some randoms did the beach and stream stuff...
i wanted to make a vid for you guys, you are my biggest fans

[limbimtimwim]

I loved it. Thanks.

[vifferman]

Was it toldlessly boring riding the Jog on the highway?
Isn't it illegal to ride on the motorway / Harbour Bridge if you can't do 100km/h?
Didja fall off or get stuck on 90-Mile Beach?
Has your arse recovered?
How much fuel did you use?

Y'know, I sometimes think that you're a [insert name here], but I take my hat off to you for embarking on an epic adventure like this. Well done! :niceone:
It's what biking's all about, innit?

I laughed when you passed those guys on bikes - they obviously hadn't twigged that the best way to ride on that road is to keep your speed up. I went up there with the vifferbabe on the back of the VFR, and soon worked that one out. Even dragged off one of those quad racers (must've been a noob).

I was tempted to ride all the way down the path to the lighthouse - it was earlyish in the day, and there was no-one much around to tell us off, and it was quite a hike back up the hill carrying all our gear.

yeah, it was
the cops said sweet if i stayed in the slow lane
it was funny, i was going full tilt on the jog
i fell off on the way back down 90 mile beach, it was high tide, the scooter sat at 15-25kph for 2 hours, the slime the sea deposits is super slippery.
my arse was prepared by the "scooter culture" video.
seriously, yes, it did hurt after 2 hours.
to get there i used about 30 litres at a guess.

My week is now fullfilled thanks to you JonBoy.....:clap:
There is room for you are your crew on TV eh?

Passing those other fuckers on the road up to the lighthouse...:rockon:

[slofox]

Well. That takes me back. I flatted with a guy in Christchurch back in 1967 who had a Puch scooter...which he rode down to Chch from Hamilton...not sure how long it took him but he did get there in one piece...nice ride Carver...:)

a guy has done all of nz on a jog, but he only rode for 4 hours a day, and covered 200k a day.
my longest day was 15 hours (9am to 12pm)

[Slyer]

[LittleJohn]

Awesome, loved it. Nice one.

[HungusMaximist]

As aways, legend videos bro.

Brilliant 80's tracks to go with the music and I think the music really added a finishing touch to wrap it all together!

[beyond]

That was cool mate :) What a hoot overtaing those guys on the bikes. man they must have got a shock. Would love to have seen the looks on their faces.

:niceone: :clap: :first:

[DMNTD]

[Wingnut]

Classic vid. Hey whats the issue with riding the scooter all the way down to the grass at the cape. Is that against maori protocol or something?

Wouldn't be surprised! :sleep:

Good stuff carver. I enjoyed the video.

[icekiwi]

Awesome vid guys...
Bloody idiot carver....lol

[Paul in NZ]

Well done - pure class and darn good fun...

[NinjaNanna]

Credit where credit is due - well done dude!!!

If you were to market that right - you could turn it into an annual event like the postie challenge in Aust. I reckon it could attract quite a following.

Love the music too! And like everyone else laughed when you passed those bikes.

it sure is, well, i pushed it to the top of this hill, and that was apparently naughty!

[mikeey01]

dam fine effort.
:clap:

[Brett]

Foooocken top effort Carver. I am really impressed. Great vid. That little 50cc engine must have really struggled up the brenderwyns....how did that go?

Again, top effort.

[carver]

Again, top effort.

it sat at 50kph, but if you let it drop below 45kph, it would go all the way down to 25kph.
the downhills were silly, full throttle just throwing it into the bends!

[Rodney007]

[Switch]

Good shit dude! :2thumbsup

[mister.koz]

Now that was entertaining lol.

I heard you can stick a hairdryer (take out the heating element) on to the carbs of some older 4 stroke scooters and use it like a turbo :headbang:

[racerhead]

You are nuts man:clap: :2thumbsup:

Great vid, great trip :niceone:

[carver]

well, it now has a high speed variator, new clutch springs, new batt, new rubber, and a stinger type exhaust coming soon

[carver]

the guy i interviewed made me a poem.

hey, hillbilly john's the name,

some crazy handle i picked up the other day,
some crazy bloke
with a crazy plan

to ride his scooter
around the promised land video'd me,

then shook my hand

and called me a local of the hillbilly clan
now aint that grand!

well, im sure you folks would all die with shame
cause a label like that is sure to stick like clay

but dont you worry,
i aint too afussed

i can spit with the best
and i can sure cuss

so here is to you carver
i think its very funny and what they hell bro

we might as well make some money

[2_SL0]

Nice, :2thumbsup

[Storm]

Top marks for that effort, your arse must have been juddering for days!!

[carver]

it was not too bad, after about 3 hours in the seat it would be uncomfortable.5 mins of stretching and i would be in for another 3 hours

[Nasty]

great vid ... another enjoyable ride :)

[Qkchk]

Hey Carver, have you thought of showing this to Yamaha NZ? They might be pleasently surprised at how well a Jog goes (could be a marketing tool for them etc...)

[Slyer]

That's a good idea ^^

[Krayy]

Never thought I'd say this, but well done Carver!

Had to piss myself when you passed the 2 bikes on the dirt road. Did you get a reaction from them?

[gijoe1313]

Very good job, brought back memories of my experiences on the Cape Caper Challenge from last year!

I still need to do it again on Pippi, my little A100! Good blardy work there matey patatey! I love these sort of off beat things! :2thumbsup

[Morcs]

Wheres the full length vid? i want to see my dodgy riding!

[cowboyz]

Had to piss myself when you passed the 2 bikes on the dirt road. Did you get a reaction from them?

What reaction would you be looking for?

Having ridden the road and I know how amazing the scenery is whats to say that the two bikes he passed were not enjoying the scenery instead of going as fast as they possibly can?

[carver]

Never thought I'd say this, but well done Carver!

Had to piss myself when you passed the 2 bikes on the dirt road. Did you get a reaction from them?

nope, they were noobs to gravel, thats why they were doing 30k on a vstom/bandit
