Over the Crown Range - twice

[Rashika]

Takaka Hill is about as good as it gets !!
Mind you out to Akaroa, Milford Sound... all great roads.
Up this way Kawhia Harbour -TeAnga, East Cape, 22 in the dry!! , Waioeka Gorge...

Edit: No I didnt do them all today.. Sounds like you had a great outing Crash

did takaka hill over the weekend, man what a ride! on and on and on and on... it just never wants to end

Ya think I might add a certain class and elegance to the rally if I went????

you would certainly add another dimension to the event, THATS fer sure

[JATZ]

yip you gotta love that hill (takaka), like to shoot over it for a burger from the caravan after work on a summer evening, life dosn't get much better

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

You gotta get up to that Nelson rally sometime Scummy!

I hope to make to this one year soon

I hope to make to this one year soon

Same...I hate seeing these South Island post-rally threads that go on for hundreds of pages when I wasn't there.
Makes me think that I've missed out on something.

Should have told us you were down this way, could have escorted you round a bit
(or you did and I missed it)

How do you find the roadtec's? I've just put a sportec on the rear and will follow suit on the front shortly. I assume the roadtec's are harder and less sticky, but do you know by how much?

Hey Delphinus - yeah, I shouldve done, but wasn't too sure where I'd end up. Next time . . .
I'm really happy with the Roadtecs - certainly did me well on the trip and on my daily commute of 100km round trip. I know you can power on real hard in corners and I've not have any problems so far. I guess it is certainly more of a sports tourer than a pure sports. Some of the cop bikes use them too apparently - don't know what that says about them!!

Yep to all the above!!

Ha!

Did you do the Crown Range this arvo? So did I - in the bloody work cage... If you passed a white Mazda S/W with a ladder on the roof...

Fantastic road, eh? I prefer it from the Q'town end, those hairpins are more fun going up...

Yep, I reckon going up the hairpins is better too - and down the Wanaka side is awesome.
Managed to miss your white Mazda, but reckon that scrape on my new helmet must be off your friggin ladder last rh corner from the top :-)
