Its a bit late to be putting this threat up, but Im getting excited about my next few days.
I started a weeks annual leave on Friday afternoon, travelled to Auckland to pick up my 17yr old Aussie daughter at midnight, who has come over for her first ever motorcycling holiday with her mum in NZThe past few days weather has been premo as we prepared for our journey, starting tomorrow. Yesterday we did a quick blat out to Tutukaka, 75ks in total so a short ride but a fast one. The bike is sitting beautifully two up on the road (mind you she's all of 50kg, so her 50kg of clothes on the back for the next four days should work out well, I'll take a toothbrush and change of tee-shirt
), I trialled it with our luggage last weekend when we decided to do the coro loop, definately need to adjust the suspension for my solo day rides, but with weight on the back Im so much more confident on it.
Anyway, tomorrow AM we head south from Whangarei, destination Rotorua. My girl has a friend there, and has never seen south of Auckland of the North Island. One night over at Rotorua and at this stage I plan to do a quick zip down to Taupo Wednesday morning, then head for Tauranga Wednesday afternoon, catch up with some family, and hopefully end up in Whangamata Wednesday night. Thursday I want to do the Coro loop getting to Auckland Thrusday evening. I'll probably be looking for a bed Auckland Thursday night or roll on through to Whangarei that evening.
So, not sure what that distance works out at, but Im sitting on 4,800ks at present and went and booked my 6,000k service for a couple of weeks after I get back. I'd love to do the Miranda turn off again ending up in Clevdon, but the cool thing about this jorney is it doesnt really matter where we end up, its the actual journey that counts.
Any KBers out there floating around for the next few days looking for some company on the road, I'll be there, looking forward to seeing all your local turf in Central North Island.
