I'm lookin for a REALLY bumpy road!...

**Fishy** · 22nd February 2006, 07:56

Hey people,

I am currently working on my suspension setup and am looking for a really bumpy road, you know the sort that when you hit them they bounce you out of your seat. I know of a couple but they are a bit far away and the bumps on the road are hundreds of metres apart.

Does anyone know of any really bumpy roads or really bumpy patches on any roads around North Waikato or South Auck?

I have currently been testing my adjustments out on Ridge Road (Bombay) area but am wanting something a little bumpier than that. Met up with Firefight there last night to, bloody nice guy and look forward to going for a spin with him soon.

Is SH22 bumpy around by Pukekawa? I've never riden down there so I have no idea and can't be arsed going looking so if you can save me a bit of time by telling me where the rough patches are I would really appreciate it.

Cheers!.

Once you find it let me know, I have a few "friends" I would like to put on the bike and "feel" the bounce

Okay, options.... ride over Sarah a few times...she has bumps or

how about the Hunua ranges road from Papakura.......some nice rumbles on those 25k bends at the start to test your suspenders out on....

Hay Josh.

the road on that we took on teh way back from Paeroa, was bloody bumpy and really twistie... Grahameeboy or Postie should be ablt to tell you which one it is.. i believe riff raff knows as well..

**Fishy** · 22nd February 2006, 08:03

Nah can't ride over Sarah..won't get anymore ...errr ummm dinner!.

Yeah that part of Hunua could be an option I guess, how about SH22??

Its an interesting concept setting your bike up for a type of road that you struggle to find nearby anyway.

**enigma51** · 22nd February 2006, 08:16

try puke

Skelstar im with you sounds strange!

**Motu** · 22nd February 2006, 08:24

I could find you some,but you might not like how we get there...Heatherington rd has a big bump and a few slips,try the Glen Murray/Rangariri road too.If you don't find SH22 bumpy enough take any of the side roads,some turn to gravel,but you'll get a few km down the road before you chicken out.

Yeah I can see how you would find it strange, but I want to see if the bike isn't set so soft that it bottoms out. Ive got the front compression ok as I put a cable tie around the fork and have landed a few high wheelies on the settings and it seems ok but I want to see how the rear handles a good sized bump.

Does it make sense now? :spudwhat:

Hmmm

from what I have heard, 22 sounds like it might be a good place to take a look. Might go for a look after work.

Cheers

Bugger....you always go for rides when I have Natalie.

Ah so the Hunua road then eh. Ok maybe I will give that a go instead. Hmmmm

Oh yeah sorry Grahame I must admit I plan to go for rides when you can't because I don't want to put to shame but that big red suzuki of yours.
