Obviously that comment doesn't include whoever was riding a smallish (250?) Suzuki through there yesterday morning - I had to overtake them in the end (I was in a car) because they were doing between 60-80kph in the twisty bits! It must have been the day for it because I overtook a Harley on the way home just south of Linton...

Do you mean SH56 - through Opiki? SH57 is the one that bypasses Levin and heads north through Shannon and past the Opiki turn-off north through Tokomaru. The twisty bits I was referring to are the very first section past the Opiki turn-off.
