Well I tried! I got to Kaiwaka then had a buellstop. It,s like a fuel stop in that you stop, piss and spend money but you don,t get to continue! Lucky I have a wife and ute and trailer!

No not going. Not sure what it is but suspect it is one of the major relays.
Oh and yes to axle stand, may as well pull the bastard right apart eh if it is going to play games!

Time for some update!
Now I am on my way down to Wellington to catch a ferry at 6:30pm.
My stay in Auckland has been awesome thanks to all my friends (I can't name them all! Too many!). I've had a great time catching up with the old friends and meeting some new. Apart from meeting friends, all I can remember is eating food Christchurch don't have
On Saturday morning, Toto, Gremlin, Gijoe1313 and myself went out on a ride to Kaiaua for fish and chips (Laava couldn't make it!). The weather stayed quiet untill we left for home. It was a blast of nostalgia going back to places where I had my early days of motorcycle riding.
On Saturday night I caught up with Mom, Maha and Laava for laughs and nibbles. Once again thanks for the warm hospitality.
Just before I left Auckland I had the time to finally meet Kiwifruit. What a good guy he is!
Now my trip is nearing it's end, it's time to slowly enjoy the road to I get home I couldn't have done this trip without all my friends in Auckland really. Might have to think about moving to Auckland! I'll start looking for a job maybe
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Auckland trip complete!
Total estimated distance: 2489kms
Total fuel cost: $403.94
Total food cost: >$100
Best moment: Meeting friends old and new.
Worst moment: Dropping bike in Picton.
Favourite road: Wanganui to Otorohanga via SH4 and SH3.
Least favourite road: Desert road, Turangi to Taihape due to cold weather.
It's been such an amazing week, riding across the country meeting great friends along the way. Once again thank you to everyone who has supported me :-)
Bike is now in need of a good full service, tyre is still decent (I think I can squeeze out 4,000 more kms) and I need a hot bath and a nap.
Taupo lookout.
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Awesome that you had a good trip. Great photos. Think the one in front of Ruapehu is my favorite.
