Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Let us know your plans. Certainly up for an adventure through there...
Without being silly what would be the earliest best month to venture through when there is less likely to be snow, ice and pesterlance ??

Last time I went across that road was to the '06 or '05 Cold Kiwi. No problems at all with the weather.
A lovely bit of road even on a GS1100 Suzuki.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

Did it once on my Bandit and enjoyed it as is but it's gonna be a bike magnet for sure once all the seal is down. Great corners, great views, great country, great ride!

I for one cant wait untill its sealed, although i can see the pleasure it would be on an adventure bike
Guess it will be a little like the forgotten highway

Adventure bike? e.g. whatever is in the garage at the time. The number of evil handling big road bikes I have punted down that road. Will be sad when they seal it but thats progress I suppose.
IMO one of the North Island's best roads full stop.

That's another great piece of road. Different type of scenery though.
deploy the yak!
bloody oath
sealed sections are already top class - the rest will only make it better

the gravel bits are what keeps most of the camper vans away. Once its sealed it will end up clogged with tourists. And then the cops will start going over in the hope of picking up a bit of revenue.

Just faidin away!
One of the few roads in NZ that I haven't even actually been on, at all!
Dammit. Will have to take the Tiger through it before they seal it. Shouldn't beat the Tiger though! (smart arse comment lol read your post. ) Cheers, John
Not so crazy ....
How long do ya reckon it will be before the trucks have rooted the the new seal surface? Better off leaving it gravel for the adventure cowboys....

Tar seal = campervans. Next they'll be sealing the Tangarakau Gorge. Gahh!
