PM DMNTD (Chris ) he can tell you everything you need to know

[adiddy]

can anyone else help me out?
i need to know an approx time on bike at 110-120 witha stop for gas and light lunch/break

[DMNTD:Me]

As mentioned by PM it depends on which way you go and what you call a "rough rd" really dude.
Gimmie an idea of what style of ride you seek and how much of a hurry you're in and I could map out a boring quick commute or an awesome ye haaa ride through some seriously fun roads.

Chris is your man. He knows the norf like the back of his hand.

Anything between 4-4.5 hours is probably what you are looking at with one stop. I bypass SH1 until Wellsford and pretty much stay on it all the way into Kaitaia. You should only have to stop once for gas (probably in Whangarei or slightly after it)

Last time I was on the road would have been about 4 weeks ago and there were a few road works north of Whangarei. Early Saturday morning is probably the best time to go. You'll enjoy the ride from Kawakawa through Okaiau and over the Mangamukas into Kaitaia.

However - avoid any detours after Kawakawa as you'll probably run into a wild turkey, rouge cows, sheep, pigs etc.... Its farken wild up there!

Sorry Chris...in the time it took me to write that up, you and the Waylander had posted.

im hoping to see scenery but would rather leave the windy stuff for the trip home!
DMNTD was of much help and has made a rather wise decision!
Auckland 2 Whangarei , Whangarei 2 Kawakawa

As mentioned by PM simply contact me if ya want company as there's some styley scenic routes that don't take any longer that are nice at a "casual" pace.

Draw me a map to the residence of the 2 scumbags who robbed the Dutch couple... Might be time for a road-trip!

That will be a waste of time now wont it?
He is on a 250, all he's going to see of you is the back of your bike for about 3 seconds.
Mind you, may hear it for a bit longer.
