I may be wrong, but I have an idea that back in the "good old days", the likes of Robert Holden, Peter Fleming, Dave Barrett and the Hiscocks got it down to around 7 minutes?
Someone who was around and knew them better than me may like to correct me.
Being frustrated is disagreeable.
But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

I guy I knew in Upper Hutt claimed to do 8 mins bridge to bridge on a Norton Combat Commando. But he was a bullshitter about everything else, so I took that with a large grain of salt. Had the first 750 Mach IV in U/H. Last name Wallis.Originally Posted by Lynda Blair
Having said that, though, the road was far less congested (no logging trucks for a start) and the police presence was a lot lighter 30 years ago - and the Hiscock brothers were very good

We're talking the '80s here. Still not bad on GSX1100s and the likes.

now where's some dirt!
Damn, this sounds like a pretty cool road. Might have to have a look there sometime.We're talking the '80s here. Still not bad on GSX1100s and the likes.
Back then the road was probably worse aswell, but there would have been less cars.

The road was better 10-20 years ago. Much, much better. It's a rutted, bumpy, badly surfaced, crappy piece of congested junk now.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Forum whore
Far less cars and trucks (take away all the logging trucks for a start), road surface might have been better (less truck damage), etc. Even the petrol was higher quality back then.
OTOH tyres were nowhere near as good as they are now, frames had several hinges built in, suspension was crap (think of Honda FVQ (aka Fade Very Quickly) shocks on rollerdoors.

Would you kick out your wife/husband that you've loved for many years just because of a few wrinkles?
