If you go over Takaka Hill just think F5 Dave will be doing this in his van, If the road dont put a smile on your face then thinking of Dave doing it in a van will.

Thanks Doug. Has anyone told you that you are a heck of a nice guy?

No? didn't think so.

Think the only other road I’d be more disappointed would be the Kauri forests & the road into Kaitaia.

Maybe I could make Bec drive & throw the bucket in the back of the van for a mountain assault?

Excellent idea I can see it now "The Takaka Hill Bucket GP" just let us know the time and date

We had a Ducati club run up there a few years back and had a coasting race from the top down to the Rat Trap where we recieved quite possibly the worst service ever seen in a pub in NZ,wouldn't suprise me if thats why it burnt down

I'm riding up to meet her on Friday the 4th and the plan is to meet up and head off to Hanmer and soak in the hot pools if anyone else is keen.
