Hi, me Pete and the kids went thru from Gisborne yesterday to Whakatane, there were a heap of bikes on the road particularly thru the waioeka gorge, the scary thing was the amount of road these guys were using, we came round a bind corner to see three bikes all leaning hard into the corner and their heads and torso's were a foot or more on our side of the road, if it was any of you guys, be careful fellas, it scares the crap out of the average cage driver, we had nowhere to go but off the road , just lucky there was enough room on the roadside in that particular place. Quite a bit behind these guys were a number of slower riders some with pillions, great to see so many bikes out there, it was such a nice day over that way. cheers Lucy
