Riding records around NZ?

[FJRider]

Was that the classic Stirling Point to Cape Reinga run or the official SH1 run from Awanui to Gore St in Bluff? That 120km or so might make a difference when going for a record.

Heard a few years back a BMW K1200 did the full 2000kms in 24hrs by using the Lynx hydrofoil to cut down the ferry crossing time.

It was not an official run ... but midnight to midnight. Stirling point ... Bluff, to Cape Reinga lighthouse carpark. Both people I know that did it were on separate runs ... not at the same time.

that was on daylight saving changeover night i'd bet?

Hell , did we even have daylight saving in those days lol. It was 1988 CBX750 when the road still went through Furgusson (sp) Drive as well.
The 7 mins was beaten by ahem.... the last of the mohechans. Them TZR250s were awesome.
