Down with bouncing!
This is going to be a big ride. Haven't been on one for a while. Looking at highway riding with some twisty roads thrown into the mix. Plan goes as follows..
Leaving Ashhurst at 8am.
Apiti
Kimbolton
Magaweka (I know its spelt wrong)
Tiahape
western access
taupo
napier
home
Figuring on 10 hours.
All welcome.
Meeting at Meanies or Ashhurst Service station.
Buller gorge Rocks
Looking forward to it, hope the weather stays nice

Got a work related piss up on Saturday night so getting there at 8am might be a bit of a problem. And 10 hour rides? The only guy thats really going to enjoy that is the Cruiser rider with the highway pegs me thinks.

nah, you can tour on a sportsbike. Not hell for leather but cruising is possible and comfortable. Besides. The past few weeks have been smaller runs for sportsbikes so have to have one weekend for the criusers.

looking at discovernz travel map gives the following results.
PN - taupo 239km 3 hours 35mins
taupo - napier 140km 2 hours 30 mins
napier - PN 176km 2 hours 40 mins
so that makes 555km and 8 hours 45 mins. Averaging a massive 63k/hour
So we will throw that one out and say. 555km at AVG 95k/hr will be just under 6 hours. Far cry from the 10 we orginially thought. (May be a detour enroute somewhere to make up) Smoke, fuel and food stops will probably make an 8 hour day.
The instructions are simple...
Taupo - Napier 2hr30min ???? 1hr45min is a slow trip
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
I blame the Labour Government
if I came along it would be a 12 hour ride with all the fuel stop you would have to a make.Just biding my time waiting for my license to come back and going for some sneaky rides while my girlfriend is out the house. hehehe

If the weather good, I'm all over it like a fat kid on a donut. The service station is the one by the main road yeah?
