Your favorite twistys.

He was very lucky,that used to be the home of the local fire brigade.
A year or so ago there would of been a small fire engine parked in it.

Very lucky, it could of been a very painful experience!

Although they would be the second best people to crash in front of (2nd to an ambulance).

Christchurch to Akaroa GP. About 80km's, ranging from flat wide-open straights with full throttle sweepers to tight 55km bends, then Akaroa hill which must be about 20 km's of very tight corners, then throgh to Akaroa on a hilly medium to high speed section. Its ALL good.

I second that

A great road in otago is the run from Outram to Middlemarch (you can carry on and join up with the pigroot to Queenstown if you like). Very unusual to see a cop on this road but it does happen sometimes. It is a lot of flowing hill work with fast sweepers and a good road surface. It can get a little slippery in summer when the tar starts to melt and it is ofted gritted in winter (snow, ice etc). Round trip about 180k. Petrol available at Middlemarch until 5pm every day (or it used to be everyday).

Middle road, Hawkes Bay! Actually, most country roads in HB for that matter!

If I don't feel like going out for a long ride, there is a nice short twisty at the end of Tamaki Drive (which is a nice ride itself on a sunny day). Riddell Rd (look under “West Tamaki Head”) has some pretty hard left, hard right, hard left, etc.. cournering . It’s pretty short, bet sweet. It’s an urban area with school, so take care.

if you look in the very middle of the whole area by the green i spose reserve in think it might be dingle dell? is fern glen road now theres sokme serious cornering practice ....keeps you on your toes....especially after you understeer and hit the cliff like i did...hint don't ride trying to do tight corners....with a broken arm in a cast ...not pretty hit it slow luckily but damn is that road fun huge hairpins and banked turns drooolll highly reccommend fern glen road

There are so many good roads, where do you start.

For a quick blast, 5 mins from the end of the Nor Western Motorway is State hwy 16 Riverhead. This used to be a nice little ride although I havent been recently. It has multiple fast sweepers, tighter multiple corners, undulating terrain, short straits. Over quite quickly 15mins or so, people often turn around and go back and forth a few times. The ride to Piha or a strop over Scenic Drive from Swanson to Titirangi is good. Slow to medium speed stuff, windy. Just watch for wet corners some of which can be heavily shaded by the bush.

Out South head for Maraetai, Kawakawa Bay. Follow this same road (its the only one) in a loop, right down the coast into the Firth of Thames before heading inland to Pokeno then back into Auckland. Stop along the way and soak up some of the scenery, its awesome. On top of the bombays just by the caltex I take the 'Old Great South Rd' back as far as I can. Its great fun and runs near parallel to heavily policed and congested state hwy1, a last open road with a few bends which become Great South Rd at Drury. A

The road to Port Waikato and State Hwy 22 are great, but 22 is in alot of disrepair at the moment. Gravel on corners, a big steep earthworks section which would be nasty in the wet from either direction. Even on a Saturday the road is mostly empty of cars and people. The coast section just near the river mouth is a beautiful piece of road. Curving along the very edge of the coastline, cliff on your left, Tasman sea on your right, a winding, fast, smooth on yer side road. Any bike is fun on this road. A good bike is blissfull.

The Manuwatu is also awesome. But I'll need some more time down there to name a great one.

Middle road, Hawkes Bay! Actually, most country roads in HB for that matter!

Last weekend I discovered Highway 16 from Araparera to Warkworth is now sealed the whole way through (West Coast Rd. through Woodcooks Rd.). It's marked as the Kaipara turnoff.

If you want awesome twisties and something new on a course a lot of us do regularly try that.
