Check this map, Is that the route you mean?
If so I think dual purpose wheels, no point going with street bikes if they can't keep up
Although not too keen on doing this route solo, esp out of signal.

Yep. Perzackerly that route.Check this map, Is that the route you mean?

I did it solo on my SV650S. Didn't get eaten by goblins or anything. There's only about 11km of unsealed road IIRC. Course, the day I went it had just been graded so no wheel tracks to ride in...wouldn'cha know it!

No washboard roads though!
I will need to test my reserve works ( haven't had to use it since I got the bike), My bike has a range of about 130km on my 7L tank and a 4L reserve That I haven't used. Will drain it and put fresh juice in it. Should be plenty of gas (will fill up at the station on the way to Kawhia).
Whose keen to come? 17th or 18th, which ever day is preferred.

It's the season. Every late summer - autumn they always do that.
Maintenance, as well as burning budgets to ensure they are seen to "need that much money" so the next year it's not cut.

Weekend cruiser
woohoo didn't realise it was that much of a loop the back roads sure do take awhile to get through...Just did a big ride with Nev around south Waikato.

Great road. First half of the trip the roads were amazing, second half had alot of gravel patches and trees in the road.
Definitely doing this ride again. Highly recomended, might be best to ride out past Kawhia then return the same route to avoid the less than quality roads on the 2nd half of the loop.
Best sunday cruise in a long time
Anyrate I second the best sunday cruise .. had a bit of everything:
maniac car drivers overtaking haydes55 while he was overtaking ...
cars on our side of the road...
trees on the road ..
parts of cliff on the road ..
new road works .. everywhere
dead animals on the road ..
live animals on the road .. horses, and bulls
The weather was perfect.
Coro loop sounds like a plan ... anyrate up for another ride out that way soon
Mr. Responsible
Also butterfly in my face and a bee inside my helmet with meThe first half was brilliant riding, second half was more adventure riding haha
Weekend cruiser

I have not done the kawhia GP in ages.
The DRZ-SM ate it up, used to grind the pegs on the 1st ER.
Sidewinder had a tankslapper so bad this bars dented his tank there too.
Most bins wins
Mr. Responsible
I plan on no bins on the road. If we include speedway crashes I win, was always told since I started when I was 12 "If you don't crash you aren't trying hard enough"... Needless to say I definitely tried hard enough. Alot.

does not sound like your trying hard enough on the road then

Best ride to ragtown...or one of them
I never kept a time, maybe 25min on the GSXR1000, but I have never done a balls out run!
