Rimutaka Hill Road, diesel spill (27 September)

[James Deuce]

The only slightly dodgy section is the corners heading up from what used to have "Jim's Corner" sign on it. But bumpy and a bit of loose gravel. If you've got eyes, you can't miss it though

Would've been good if you wanted an insurance write-off!! (drunkenmistake is still in my mind muahaha) Just go zooming in onto the slippery shit and lose ya bike. Too late now you've missed ya chance

The Wairarapa side needs some treatment now. Lots of subsidence with bumpy corner entries and ruts.

Am I the only one who enjoys a challenging road surface?

Yes it's fine. The new bit is freaking awesome. They got rid of the bumpy, blind, fiddly, dangerous nadgery and replaced it with a bunch of perfectly surfaced sweepers and only one of them is decreasing radius. It's unbelievably quick up the Wellington side to the summit now.

New bit is almost too nice, haven't quite got the hang of it yet. Definitely gsxr/r1 country now, whereas the Buell used to have an edge. Still does on the Featherston side, particularly going up.

+1. Went up a few weeks back having not been over in nearly a year. Fantastic new stretch of road, and a slow lane to let cars pull over.

Something done right for once IMO.
