I can't think of any equivalent road in Auckland. Do you *have* hills up there?
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

Yup. There's almost no straight bits for a good 15kms, tight 25km/hr posted corners going both up and down, the wind is a bastard, and there's all sorts of nasty surfaces to contend with ... then there's the cars, trucks and the shit they leave all over the road.It's a challenge, sonny. And you know how we love a challenge.....
It's just heaven....
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Nope, but we do have very nice alpine roads about 100-200 kms away from Auckland though.
Anyway, I wasn't moking your roads. I am dead keen on comming down and trying it for myself. I was just trying to imply the discription of a sterotypical marrige life as a joke, since you had mentioned husband/wife to compare with the road.
Humor isn't my strong point so just ignore me

Yeah right! With the marvels of modern technology they could light a bonfire, send up some smoke signals and have their mates ping you at the end. You're trapped like a rat in a pipe on this stretch of road. I guess you could always hide in a culvert or in the dunnies by the tearooms for a few hours...

It might pay to pack a parachute just in case if you overshoot a corner.
Looks nice btw, specially the winter shot

Now that's what a REAL road looks like!! Ain't she purdy?

Not to mention the tyres they used to ride on. Pirelli Phantoms had just come in, the Silver Dot ones were the bees knees (the super sticky ones literally had a silver dot stuck on them to signify they were Silver Dots). Nothing like the tyre choices we've got today.We're talking the '80s here. Still not bad on GSX1100s and the likes.
