At the weekend, I rode with some great mates from Coromandel through to Napier, across Gentle Annie, down the Forgotten World Highway and back to Coromandel. Aren't we blessed with such fantastic roads in NZ? On those roads, my Street Triple more than acquitted itself against the 1000+ cc bikes my mates were riding and it makes for a great 1-up tourer as well as twisties scratcher.

For anyone who hasn't done these roads yet, photos and ride report here:
