Lone Kauri Rd

[crashe]

geez Dave, keep some of the great roads secret!

Neil Finn and the other celebs who live there probably won't thank you for sending droves of noisy motorcyclists to their quiet little neighbourhood

;-)

Tis also where the Rt. Hon. Jonathan Hunt MP used to live.

He donated some of his land for a bottle of wine, so that the local kids could have a school out there. "Lone Kauri School"

He sold up a couple of years ago after living out there for years and years...... as he is now based in the UK.
Brought an aprtment in the city.



Tis a nice road out there to ride on..... been out that way a few times.

Any way of saving youtube vids, so I can take it home and watch it later??

Sweet! Not one-way, I thought it was until I saw that cage coming the other way around the corner; heart skipped a beat there, lol.

When you came up behind that Civic, where you were looking was very telling -- thinking about doing an inside-corner pass, lol?

That is a mint road. I had a client who lived on that road, and I was project managing the construction of her bed and breakfast. This resulted in often getting to head out that way two or three times a week for about 6-8 months. I got to know those roads incredibly well, every bump and pothole, and occasionally took the bike out there or my nissan 200sx and had some fun on those roads. Got to be careful though, it is a two way road. One of the trucks we were using for the construction of the B&B had a head on with a cage. heaps of cages treat the whole road as if it is theirs, and without fast reflexes you can have some insanely close calls.

Enter the URL into http://keepvid.com/ which produces a download link.

YouTube videos are Flash videos (.flv) so you'll need an FLV player. I'm using Bitcomet FLVPlayer at the moment.
