Kind of cheating, but it was too tempting to add a crap photo of my own:

Hmm. How does this work? 5ive had the right shot 4 hours before Moi... but admits cheating...

Used to have a need to be very careful over that until I put the PR4s on.
I never had much of a problem on pr2s or 3s Driving sensibly and within the conditions. But when giving it a bit of a fistful in the hopes of making a pass on the best passing stretch for ages the 1300s have a habit of suddenly spinning the rear.
No problem if upright but you can find you suddenly occupy 2 wheel tracks after all... DAMHIK.
That is the trouble with great tyres you take them for granted.

Oops... my bad. Looked at his and didn't look close enough... thought it was an old photo but it's not.

So, I've removed my photos and allow 5ive post a new tag.

I have worked out where it is, but it sounds like swb might get there first.

Yes, I've pulled off at that spot a couple of times to take pictures - it's a pretty mean spot for a sunset. But it's a fair challenge getting back onto the road afterwards.

aws, what a wonderfully composed photo, I like the way you used the bike as one side of the image frame and got the reflected colours of the sunset onto the bodywork of the bike to expand the image.

Now you would have thought that was a very clever tag given it's just been constructed.... But you'd be wrong :nono: :)

I only knew it instantly because a friend of mine posted a shot of it on her FB page the day after you tagged it - pointing out how new it was!

OK, here we go. Bit unsure about this one. It may draw blanks, but it's worth putting up if for no other reason than to pay tribute to the original owner who had the testicles to build it! :clap: I have a backup tag if this one is too tricky.

Get home and discover the earphone cord is dangling in thin air. Damm a grands worth of S7 Edge gone.

I'm sorry to report that what initially looked like a flesh wound proved to be more serious. 'Edgey ' complained of a loss of feeling in his lower half and I suggested he just needed a nap to get over the excitement of the day. When I woke him it was clear just how serious the injury was.

He always told me he'd rather burn out than fade away and be sold on Trademe. Surrounded by close friends, he spoke of his exhilaration every time he was placed in my bike jacket pocket. The sound of the Norton bursting into life was something his Huawai friends could only dream of. He just wished he hadn't wanted to feel the wind through his case that fateful day when he decided to take a peek out of my pocket. With a heavy heart I switched of his life support yesterday. But I'm happy to say he was an organ donor and doctors were able to harvest both his SIM and SD card so a little piece of Edgey lives on. :)

Yup, sure can. Although it's quite narrow, so sometime when there isn't a lot of other traffic makes it easier to get the photo. Also, it might be locked "after hours" - I haven't checked.

The Botanic Gardens and Totara Park are connected, so you can pretty much claim you were right.

Bought it a little over 5 years ago with about 15,000miles on the clock. Averaged over 30,000km a year since then. Had to get the odo reset when it hit 99,999miles (digital doesn't roll over like the old analogue). Done nothing to the engine. Just a bit of carb work and the usual consumeables. Apart from using a bit of oil (always has) it's still running sweet. I fully expect to have to reset the odo at least one more time.

You figure out where the last picture was taken, go take a pic of your bike there and post it.

Then take another pic of your bike somewhere totally different and post that one too.

We then all try and figure out where your new pic was taken, etc etc.

[Moi]

Ok, how dot you play this game?

Really easy to play...

If you know where the "tag" is then you go there and photograph your bike in the same place - you claim the "tag".

Then off to somewhere else - within the Auckland Council area only - and photograph your bike and post the photo for others to work out where it is.

The first to put their photo up has the tag and so on...


If you know where Big Dog photographed his bike, then you go there and take the same or as close to the same photo with your bike and post it before anyone else to claim the tag. Then you go to another place and photograph your bike and put up the "new tag".

Have fun!

A quick games a good game. I've uploaded the tag picture to google maps. If you find the right spot one of the photos will be the tag...

Here you go.

Note there is a bit of easy gravel involved. If the Norton can cope no reason any other bike can't. Tag is within 30mins of the last one...
Lookout at the end of Ihumatao Road. Looking towards the Manukau Heads - not that you'd know it from my photo.

Huh nice one.

Had me stumped, thought I was looking for something facing Coromandel ways. :lol:

I hadn't really looked for the first picture, but I did think I'd be looking for a bend in the road rather than a dead end. The second picture showing the Manukau Heads was a bit of a giveaway.

Struggling to get time to get out and get a fresh tag for the long weekend, so here is one I prepared earlier...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170205/9097a11e31b50da5464bd1c36a82c3bb.jpg

Everyone stumped - or just haven't had a chance to get out yet?

Know exactly where it is and was only there a few days before you took the picture, won't have a chance to get out that way for a few weeks though...

Not stumped either.

Just no chance of getting there

Have a vague idea where it might be...

But have been a wee bit busy

Cape Palliser.

Cape Palliser.

the gravel was a welcome sight :crazy:

did you make it to the top of the lighthouse? with all your gear on?

It was very, very hot when I went up there over Xmas

Really, I don't believe you :facepalm:

It would have changed in the last year or two, as they were modifying it when 2 of us when to this spot.
those times are gone :brick:

If I was in the right place (couldn't get close enough to tell) I almost got it last night but the damn gates of the lookout close at 5pm :angry:


Unlikely to head back there any time when it's open so please take it and we can get some momentum going again...

[iwilson]

I'm assuming I know where it is.... I certainly didn't for the first few weeks until I hope the penny dropped....
