    Yes. There are many I wish to ride but the loop is the most fun I have ridden.

    in the north island my vote goes to awakino gorge for smooth flowing road or mangamokos (sp?) up in northland for a tight road. Havent been down south island on a bike so cant qualify.

    The Awakino Gorge is not, and never has been, on the "central plateau". Anybody who can't get basic geography right doesn't deserve to have their lame-arse poll voted in.

    The BDOTGNZA are offended.

    Only done it twice, but it's a great little piece of tarmac.

    Takaka Hill.

    Rimutaka Rd.

    either will do nicely.
    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.

    wasn't too impressed with that stretch... hamilton to kawhia is quite a nice stretch of road... after pirongia that is

    springs junction to murchison (highway 65) and as cowboyz mentioned above, the awakino gorge is a ripper too - i like the faster flowing stuff better than the tight twisties generally....i also liked highway 4 between eight mile and taumarunui...

    From an engineering point of view, the Otira Gorge is hard to beat
