Riding records around NZ?

[FJRider]

I only know of one. The other one missed by 20 minutes after being followed by MoT for most of the way through Otago on his RE5.

However i don't think that trip could be done now as safe air no longer fly those old bristol freighters across cook straight cutting 4 hours off the ferry time between Wellington and Blenheim.

Oh, the one who succedded was on a GT750K

One I know of ... did it on a K100 ...

Done Maungaraki to Carterton in 35 mins in a car including dodging the White Swan on the twin bridges on the Featherston side. Silly night to be moving it. Did they not know I was in a hurry? Had an hour forty five to get the mother-in-law to the airport.

I only know one person in Otago with an RE5. . Do you know anyone Malcolm??

I know where there are Two Re5's in Otago!

Is Queenstown to Dunedin in two and a half hours any good?

Not me, obviously. A 'friend'.

or a particular section of the peninsula in 3min 20. on a 250.

I could believe the qtown to dunedin one with no problem.

The thing is though, where exactly do you measure from? if you are going to, or from Dunedin for example, The Dunedin city boundary is quite broad, and even measuring from say, the octagon, or the tip of the motorway where it becomes 50km, or lookout point, or, or, or could make a large difference in how believable/impressive an alleged run was.

I once did Mosgiel to Queestown in two and a half days on a Raleigh sports.

I'd measure to Stuart Street if I was going for a Guinness world record or something. As it is I rounded it up to two and a half hours by adding ten minutes and a bit because I live in Mosgiel. As does my mate.

I have heard people claim great times from a to b, but when questioned have admitted it was from town boundaries.

A book was written about a TV program that featured the entire length of state highway one. The author and program presenter ... made a statement that the full length of highway one (staying on the highway for it's entire length) could NOT be completed in any 24 hour period.

I know of two persons that HAVE completed said journey within the 24 hour limit.

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.

You're not supposed to tell anybody about manipulating Quantum Entanglement to circumnavigate the mainland. Ever. You might be able to get away with only a gentle birching IF you supply the rest of lodge members with a bottle of their favourite single malt. Might. I'm not promising anything.
