" would of been nice to see it restored to its former glory & finally ditch the Magog image its held so long.

Not that I there,yes it'd be nice to see it done up. But hey the Magogs have been part of the scene there for over 30yrs Oh & definately a 4 hr journey from Wellington to NP, one of the most boring rides/drives in the North, & theres the odd boy in blue on the way, especially between Hawera & NP

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck FUCK!

Aucka loffa to New Plymouth is about 3 1/2 hours by bike


ps: turn off at the BP around Ngarawahia which comes out @ Otorohanga (saves a bit more time) but be careful around Te Kuiti (on the straights coming in) as the local cop is well known to be the worst in the country for handing out fines.

30yrs is long enough, time for a change, besides they are all old n grey now, gone are the days of 30+ HD's lined up outside.

Keep ya eye out everywhere round there. The only reason some say its boring is because high speeds are very easy to do, hence its well patrolled.

Only reason some say it's boring is because it is, nice big straight roads with only a couple of spots that are interesting !!!

Coupla things:

While riding to Stratford the other day I could have sworn I saw a sign advertising a National Motorcycle Expo next Easter. So that looks like business as usual.

Also the hotel is actually the "White Hart", which is why there is a carving of a stag on top.
