Thats pretty aweome to come across a plane on your gravel ride Marty.
Glad you are out there checking some routes. My 200 still in dirt mode at the mo, no lights, rego plate etc & v dirty. On to it soon as WOF due.
Yep, Denniso can sure make those slicks a fair hummmmm on the gravel. He would scream past me never to be seen. . . .
Me and my mate jim go for a spin most saturdays for few hrs, usually head for gravel/beaches. there dosn't seem to be alot of forrestry single track up this way that isn't closed off (by permit only). I'm from the south island originally so am not that familier with all where public riding areas. Anyone wanting to join us for a ride is welcome just pm me

hb rides sound good to me! dr and xr650s are both sitting a bit idle at present

We went through both those roads couple weeks back...found an open forestry road which we explored for 2k was awsome but always had the feeling we were tresspasing not sure what the rules are for paper roads? there are lots of roads/tracks around there though We also been checking out the Kaweka ranges which is simply riding nervana but all the roads have locked gates
....wherezz that track go
The rules for paper roads (or 'unformed legal roads' ) are: go hard
Just make sure you are on the actual paper road line, check out the WAMS website for maps & take a GPS. If there is a locked gate on a paper road you are fully entitled to go over/under/around/through-with-your-gas-axe unless a temporary (and it does have to be genuinely temporary) closure has been notified & signposted by the council.
It is good manners to inform the adjacent farmers if you are planning to travel on a rarely used paper road & be aware that it is lambing at present so some spots may best be left for later in the year.

I know it's a little way out yet...but I am heading over to see Steely Dan.. (I love 'em)
If there is some good riding to be done on some fairly non - technical gravel over that ways....then I might pootle over on the XT and not dash over on the SV
and that would occupy me for Saturday rather nicely
any suggestions appreciated
cheers
Hey DR Girl...I'm still here..just not riding much.. As Bart said this is my busy time of the year and hard to make plans..
Keep me informed and I'll see how my schedule works out

Living in the bay and just purchased an 09 DR650 and aim to do some ride outs this summer, has to go for compliance as the last owner let the rego lapse for more than 12 months
Will keep an eye on this thread.
