Rimitaka Caltex mmmmm I wonder wherethat is ??? I hope WT will ride so he can show us ....WT ??
Ive run out of fucks to give
Soo-deep
Loosebruce is a local anyway so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Forum whore
I'd like to know where it is too... haven't been that way in at least 20 years
on the up
Rimutaka Caltex is on the main road from Upper Hutt .
If you go up the motorway (up River Road) it joins up with Fergusson Drive eventually.
Caltex Rimutaka is about 800km's south of the turnoff to the Akatarawa Rd and the Kaitokes (the hilly road before the Rimutakas). It's about 600m from the end of the Upper Hutt motorway.
You can't miss it.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

yeah the 4th i mean hahahahha, i am down there for the whole week??
hey WT did you get my PM over the weekends???
on the up
Akatarawa Road is okay up to Staglands, I travel up there most weekends as that's where my in-laws new house is (next door to Staglands).
As for the Reikorangi to Staglands bit, can't tell you.
Only problem is the snow and ice at the moment really.
Just use common sense and you'll be sweet.
BTW look in your mailbox tomorrow for a nice surprise.

My Aunty had to drive over from Waikanae end about a week ago and said it wasn't too bad. Last time I rode over (about a month ago) there were a few slips & there are still parts of the road that haven't been resealed from the big storm back in Feb! But it's rideable.
I might pop up to Caltex to say "Gidday" :spudwave:

Do yourself a favour and DON'T use the Akatarawa road...
It's quicker over the Paekakariki hill road and Haywards not to mention more fun! You bike might be a lot nimbler than my Guzzi but mate, that road sucks on a bike. Even without the plonkers in house sized 4WD's than cannot actually get around the bends without crossing onto your side (there is only 1 side in some place) it's just nasty!
If I get my oil changed this week I might be keen if it's no longer artic tundra on top of the hill. It means an early leave from the coast though and I will have house guests and a hangover so we have to see....
