Great place

[merv]

I went here on Saturday but unfortunately didn't have time to do the Motu Rd through to Opotiki. Just went in and out at the Matawai end - all sealed road. Checked out the Matawai pub and figured they hadn't heard of customer service so ate at the nearby cafe instead.

you weren't with a whole bunch of other bikers perchance, we encountered a whole lot of guys on bikes on sunday morning in the waioeka gorge, ( just before matawai) three of them had their heads and torso's on our side of the road on a blind corner, very very scary, if it was you, please be careful on the twisties, that road has taken the lives of quite a few of people I've known.

I found a great place to get the knee down...

Nah weather was so shitty down Opoutama way we left our gear drying at the camp and did a cruise in my Landcruiser on Saturday.

we live 1/2 an hour approx from there! I see the weather was typical LOL!, it has to be one of the coldest places in the north island short of waiouru I reckon.

Obvious fake though, no one is admiring your skill and adept comprehension of balance

Hey Merv

C'mon you wuss - I've done the Motu Road in my Subaru 2WD 1600cc - scary shit - you should see the dents in the exhaust shields on the underside of the car. "Watch that feckin' rock" says Hubby - :eyepoke: "What rock" says I
Not as scary as the Wanganui River Road to Pipiriki in a Maui Campervan tho

Was a time problem but don't worry I will do the Motu Road sometime. It was legendary when they used to use it for Rally NZ, but I guess I'd need to stay in Opotiki or somewhere and do the round trip.
