personally if the weather is sweet then i'd be keen on the second option.

what do y'all think?

Sounds Good - I'm favouring two too, unless there's a rain storm or something....

Only been to Muriwai twice and that too over a year ago in a cage- look forward to it.

Someone please bring a camera.

And hey Crashe - Please don't say no right away - please decide later on if you want to come depending on how you feel?? It may be a bit demanding though......for as you know the roads are a lot tighter than last time.

speed wise crashe and any other cruiser should be sweet, its just through the corners. I'll have someone stop at each intersection where we turnoff.

**awesker** · 16th July 2005, 21:05

Scenic Drives ok but if you ever want to try a REAL road head south.
I'll understand if you'r a bit nervous, fast windy roads more than 3k's long can have that effect.

What's this road called...... and Scenic Drive is not just OK - it's the best damn road in the world..... yes it is- yes it is -yes it is

No I'm not a total idiot - just a partial idiot......

I could tell you, but you wouldnt belive me...
If your ever up for 4-500ks one day let me know.
Tis hard on a 250 tho... And your bike will suffer, so will your backside!
I know a nice little link to SH22, on to Raglin, very odd loop round to Mirandar (sp?) Twistys back to Clevdon...
And yes, you can go through The Kopu's if you want a little more!
Tis a long day, and you will be in pain,
Make pain your friend!
The grin takes 5-8 days to subside.
And I'm on a 250 bandit! Easy pray for you!

I;m in - maybe sometime in mid -late August or maybe even early September though....got too much to do till then......

Don't know about you being easy prey...... I've only been riding for just over 6 months... gonna get my restricted soon as I'm gonna hit 6 months of legal riding in a few days......

And I'm a slow to slower-medium paced rider ...

Me? slow as a wet week, ask anyone.
Slower than a herd of turtles wading through peanut butter I am!
I have to leave home yesterday to get to work tomorrow I'm so slow!
Old people in zimmer frames pass me at speed!
Anyway, speed is relative.
