    You should've ridden the bike then, instead of sitting on it on a trailer.

    Yeah, its shite alright, don't do it, you will hate it, all those twisties on sealed top grade roads for motorbikes... stick to your car and get carsick instead...

    There is a top pub at Whangamomona that is bike friendly/mad...

    From Whanga toward Taumarunui there is a 10k (give or take a k) of firm compacted gravel road but the rest? Nah, it'll scare ya.... don't do it...

    Just do it. NO SHIT, the best road I have ever ridden. Did that about a week after we left you guys.

    12km of hard packed gravel, but the other 138km is farken awesome.

    instead of paying bills just drop a note in with the bill saying "sorry I am not paying you this month but I wanted to go riding" and hope they are very understanding bikers.
