Yep, might make it past Kopu this time if my bike doesn't "see Red". Could play hide and seek with the HP cop we saw last time.

Yea for sure, i'll play seek then i play "get the f#$% outta there" my demerits situation aint all that shit hot, neither is yours!! Just gotta make sure i don't come across any of those nasty roadside gardens that have big rocks that disable your bike when the side stand clips it and the kill switch pops out, oh the shame :confused2

Good one - look forward to seeing you again MR. Will you be travelling a tad slower on this "different" machine?

FF: pukekohe - Tuakau - Pokeno is a bit boring with all the township traffic.
Try this:
Off motorway from Pukekohe off-ramp, left to Bombay Hill and take the winding road towards Hunua range, then right towards SH2. Then at SH2 turn left towards "the castle" service station (the one with good ice cream).
Just before "the castle", turn right towards Mercer. At mercer, cross the Expressway and straight towards SH22.

That'll give you a bit of twisty bits on Bombay Hill, Hunua Range, between SH2-Mercer, and between Mercer-SH22.

P.S.
Might have a little bit of construction on SH2-Mercer link, but the twisty in Hunua is definitely worth it.

P.P.S.
for a bit of twist, try getting to Bombay Hill through Old GSR. Watch out for the cops, though.

So, out of all of that Mr Marmoot, are you coming tomorrow? If so, you can lead the way...
