Taupo-Auckland on Street Magic

[R6_kid:Me]

Would you do it?

Given my new employment it has become economically viable (and logically sensible) for me to commute on/in something other than the R6 or the 2.5L 'Spirit of Scandanavia' Volvo so i'm looking at getting a street magic.

Only one i can find on trademe is in Taupo, knowing that its going to take about 7-8hrs+ of riding would you do a mission and ride a Street Magic back from Taupo to Auckland?

Yes i know it is easy enough to get someone to put it in a van and bring it up to Auckland for me but i feel like being adventurous (stupid) and giving it a try.

Would you?

[Fatjim]

Fuck yeah.


ROOOOAAAAAADDDDD TRRRRIIIIPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

[imdying]

I'd try anything once! Many back roads you can take? Don't want to be a nuisance or get squashed!

[The Pastor]

yeah bro, why the hell not, try and do 60k over the limit on a street magic.

Best thing is that it will only use like 5 bucks gas....

[R6_kid:Me]

I figured i'd go SH1 (or alternate) until i got to Ngaruawahia then cut across SH22, from there i'd probably have to look at a map book, but i know it is possible. Just means i have to use Great South Road and end up in West Auckland instead of short cutting across the Harbour Bridge. Would be quite an adventure i think.

[kiwifruit]

yeah why not
plenty of back roads to take, stay off sh1 man

sh1 north to atiamuri, take the whakamaru rd to whakamauru/mangakino, up the western rd to wharepapa and nice coffee, to kihikihi/teawamutu, then out the back to sh39 thru pirongia/back of ngaruawahia, turn left thru waingaro, up 22 to tuakau and puke, gsr into auckland.......

[R6_kid:Me]

Haha, wow! Street Magic to Aucks... that is a mission!

If you're crazy enough to do this and wanted break down support to Kihikihi I'd be happy to go along

Also, I know a back road to Whakamaru, might be about 10 mins longer on a normal bike though

[The Pastor]

One thing to realise is that this bike will be going at max speed for 8hrs..... I don't think it would last dude.
