Is the Napier-Taihape road sealed yet?

Too many good gravel roads have been stolen by the seal theives already IMO.

Well said that man, Give him a small orang-utan.

Apart from the gravel, you may get snow if the weather turns nasty.

Do you have Plan B?

I wonder if I can get me some dirt tyres to suit the CBR.

There's around 20k of gravel. Can be quite rutted due to truck traffic this time of year. Also fresh metal 6 inches deep on occasion which is fun on a wide tyred ride bike. Gravel gets kicked up by passing cars so there is the possiblity of paint damage on fairings. Nice ride on a clear day tough. The gouge at the Manga end even though sealed usually has rather large rocks lying over it. Done it a few times on the ol cb550 and Integra no probs. I'd give it 10/10 for variaty.
