    Do them all, bro!

    Yeah up through Murupara is good. Go to TeTeko supermarket and up that road past the golf club and turn right at the top. Go to Galatea store and thurn right there and go over the river.. Then onto Rotas and back through the Rotomas.

    Going around the cape is an epic trip, but its a long way ay, so plan to stop over around Tologa Bay area.

    yo. im keen for rides out. ive got a young un at home so need babysitter.well hes 11. anyhoo. im game. im really keen on technical aspects of riding......not that im a great rider.....i like to develop skills and not just idly ramble along. although rambling along is good sometimes. i went past opotiki towardss te kaha a cple of weeks ago, some nice twisties but man, they are some real boring long straights.....whos got a radar detector to sit in front?

    yer for sure grass got a spare bed if you need somewhere to crash the night could plan a trip down stay here then we can carry on down the east coast.

    Sounds good rapid as I say just getting my forks re-chromed so might not have the bike on road until next week but pretty keen on that ride that Steve pointed out back loop to vegas.

    And I agree long straight bits of road are much fun but that should have heaps of nice twisty i would say and some nice scenery.
