Oh shesh! Does that mean I can spank him if I do that?

Don't be a pussy young man, sit the 6r in the AM and then take your weener in one hand and the throttle in the other and head for the happy place of racing fuel and squeeling tyres. Help the older sibling in his pursuit of the ultimate lap (not hitting the wall again HEHEHEHE, you know of wot i speak)
You have now, my young apprentice sufficiant skills to master the long haul ride without the use of training wheels and leakproof underwear, all you require is the wrath or blesing of SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED to complete the task. I can unfortunately not attend due to the need to make an appearance at work for the collection of money.

Buy a map before you go , as you have no idea of how to get to your destination you may need it. Have a good ride

Well, sucks to be me... I'm going to have to take the wagon.

I have my license test at 11:15am, I need to get to a diagnostic medlab in Mt Wellington just after that to have my Mantoux test (checking for immunity against TB) read, and have to catch my youngest for his birthday for a bit, so in all safety I have decided 2 wheels is probably not the best option for me.

GUTTED!

You have angered the biker gods and thus you have been punished accordingly! Tch! Oh well, least you get to steer one handed whilst having a drink and a fag between the fingers and fiddling with the radio and adjusting your mirrors and .... oh you know it!

I blame my sodding brother for dropping this on me unexpectedly!

On the plus side, I got myself a styley new pair of gloves before the squash got put on the plans - nice and warm, and apparently very waterproof... I sense a Tui ad...

if you're on the main road it's pretty easy riding, the good thing about doing a longer haul like that is you can get into a real groove - it's all experience in the end
i'd make a stop in tokoroa and then again in turangi perhaps? (or even more often)
i'd definitely check the forecast tho...the odd shower is no worries but you dont wanna be doing the vast majority of it in the pissing rain...

agreed. but Would only be stopping in tokoroa to check the map and see where you went wrong.

If I was doing it I would go like this....

Jump on southern motorwayand follow it down to Ngawhaihia (sp?)
Turn right at the BP station to follow a sign that says "to otorohonga" (you actually turn right over the railway lines and then immediately left.

Follow that road to whatawhata. You effectively go striaght through whatawhata but actually have to do a left right thing there cause the road doesnt match up.

Keep following your nose till you hit otorohonga. turn right down to te kewiti. This should have taken you about an hour and a half.

Follow through te kewiti till the service station at the T interestion (think its a BP) turn right. Go out to 8 mile junction. turn left (it says tamuranui)
Follow your nose.

Sooner or later you will be in waioru and then striaght down the highway to feilding.

All up it is about 5 and a half hours at legal speeds. Really easy road. 8 mile is fun. lots of open stuff if you want to get places a bit quicker.

I would probably refuel in te kiwiti (I know I have spelt it wrong) and then again in wairouru.
