Sh22

... blah blah rhubarb custard yakkity ... Never mention the livestock, eh, GiJoe1313?

Well the other posters have covered those details and appellations of SH22 in detail ... Riding SH22 many times in my formative halcyon days of pootling gave me the courage to head out further and afar ... and as I have said to those in earshot, if you can ride SH22 carefully and well, it'll prepare you for many of the atypical lanes of freedom, which grace our fair lands!

Blah blah, ride your own ride, yak yak, watch the conditions, rhubarb custard, ensure your bike is maintained, harumph needle nardle noo, maintain concentration, coo coo coo coo, don't push past your ability, etc. etc. ad infinitum ...

So, X-Whatsit-formerly-known-as-Xerxesdaphat ... when we going to ride SH22 together again?

I remember sh43 when it was like that

Me too - it really was the forgotten highway back then...and if you got stuck in there you very well may be forgotten too.That's what I was thinking as I went through there in the mid '70's.

Yes, but you're wrong.

Would you rather ascend or descend? That's the nub.

The beauty of sh22 is that it is simply awesome road with awesome scenery - but you never know whats around the next corner - fallen trees, slippery pine needles, road works etc.. makes for a challenging ride.

You're wrong sir. The beauty of SH22 is that a lot of KBers find it repulsive. That keeps it quiet, exclusive, and pristine.
Trust a few nubs to go down there and we'll have so many radars so quick that our skin gets suntan in the middle of the night from the radiation.

The beauty of Megan Fox, however....hmmm....I heard she has toe thumb.

You are right. I forgot to mention the quietness - Last time I did it was when B.O.T.S was on, so naturally all the police and other bikes were around the paeroa area hehe

We just came up sh22 from huntly on sat after doing the Kaiaua roads too and it was a damn wicked way to finish the ride.
