This is the track I start and end every ride with, from my garage to the front gate!

Once I'm out through there everything else "is" an adventure, "every time" ! (for me anyway)

That hill in the back ground is the Benmore end of Black Forest road, just one of our many local treasures!

Livin in heavin.

Cheers John.

I have done this track, both ways in one day too

It was wet and very muddy, but we made it

Clint640 also did it from memory

In a 4x4 with a winch, but we did do it the man's way from the Tga side. I don't even want to think about taking the 640 through there. Maybe a 200EXC or a trials bike...

Cheers

As in the one that crosses the Kaimais from south of Katikati? I once completely submerged an upright TS185 in a puddle on that one. I was by myself, so had to haul the bloody thing out and clear out the water entirely alone.

I was late home...

dyers pass road-diamond harbour-purau-port levy-over the hill to little river-and then back to chch. Its about 100 km and takes 2 hours if you dont stop at the pub in little river, where they have nice food. Nice after work ride.

I have to be loyal.
Got to be Dansey's Pass, done it on foot, mountain bike, rally car, 50 times in 12 months, quickly, slowly, got pigs and deer off it. Turned back once due to snow. Dragged others back onto it. Helped those broken down and out of petrol.
Have lived (at times) at either end. What's this all about 'tough', 'hard' ?
Oh, yeah. Ridden a few bikes over it. It's my local summer continuious adventure ride, jees I'm lucky!
Yet to do it on the scooter. Cheers
