    Sorry I can't meet up TS, but for mine, I'd recommend the Rimutakas.

    Paekakariki Hill is a good road, but potentially far more dangerous than the takas as you don't have a lot of visibility.

    On the takas you have heaps more visibility, the corners are much faster, and although the road surface on Paekak is better, the takas give you much more opportunity to scrape pegs and generally be a total hoon.

    Others will probably disagree and, of course, the takas are copletely out of your way.

    How about - do the takas (takes about an hour out of your day), turn around at Featherston and come back again, go over Haywards and do Paekakariki on the way out of Welly.

    Best of both worlds!

    And will only take up an extra hour out of you day, which I guarantee will be worth it. You will love both rides!
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    TS

    I could be up for a ride. What bike you getting, or have you already said?
    I'm not riding all that fast at the moment, but you can take off and wait for me

    I'd be happy top head over the Taka's with you, then I might go have a wander out to Martinborough. Bruce (VTWIN) may also come along.

    9:30 you say? Let me know what you think.
    Dave.

    Only if TS decides to run her in gently. Otherwise it'll be 2fiddy down the straights and full banking around corners tearing away all of the chicken strips of a brand spankin new set of tyres!

    That sounds awesome Dave, im very keen for that, and as CelticNo6 said, i will probably go do the takas then go back into wellington then over piecock...will PM details later on

    My aim is to be rid of my Chicken strips by the end of the ride, but im going to gently run her in by the book (engine wise)...

    Hey MR, you keen for a ride over Coromandel way in 2 weeks time? and are you going to taupo on the 12th of December?
