    I never will get the whole skipping onto the oncoming lane deal.. If you stayed in your own lane you'd get more of a chance to get more leans on right?
    Nice road though.

    hmmmm, I got half way through the first vid before I got bored, do you get it up to 200, pull a wheelie or start to corner from the left hand side of the road? Just so I know if it's worth watching the rest later? Cheers.

    I'm sure it's a good video and the tossers on it think they are 'God's Gift', but life's too short.

    By the way, my limited Honda exposure tells me that they make excellent bikes and the quality control is a better than most. I don't think the ancient 'Gold Wing' thing has done Honda's image much good. It was a long way ahead of its time and perhaps an alternative brand name would have preserved the street image.

    Nice road though.
    He was maintaining the massive corner speed

    Looks like a nice bit of playground, personally i'd be heading the other way through it and finishing at Mangatanoka!

    Your opinion doesn't matter.


    I know my Honda sucks, but the last few I had were great and I'm pretty sure most are too.

    Who'd trust someone's opinion with a name like your's anyway.

    Im sure some of you guys just dont get it ...... How someone rides their bike is their own personal thing , its not all about how far over you can lean it or how fast it can go , its about the rider and the bike coming together and not apart from doing some stupid shit like pulling wheelies out of corners and trying to hit 200k on a peice of road that you have no business going that fast on and riding beyond your personal abilities (which are different for us all) we all would probably ride the same peice of road diferently..... does someone that rides slower than you and may take different lines than you mean that they dont enjoy their ride as much as you do..... of course not.... its a personal thing for all of us..... Also riding to your own abilities and not someone elses idea of a great ride is so important, I mean we have all had those momments where we have come in a little to hot or been late on the breaks and said (oh shit) in our minds to find we come out ok the other side with just a (phew that was lucky) And luck is just what it was not great riding , if it was great riding there wouldnt have been that phew momment because you would have been in total control. I have no doubt there are much better riders on this forum than i will ever be, and im just fine with that and im quite happy to pootle along at a pace that suits me... not you.
    I had fun making that video without going outside what i was comfortable with at the time ...... Really just wanted to share the ride with you all, if i wanted to WoW you all i would have posted a vid of rossi or some other star doing some amazing shit......... Ramble over ....Ride Safe and have fun

    Yes, I do agree with you.

    We all have quite differing limits and abilities.

    Where was that ride?

    The road looks familiar.
