Hmmmm i have seen that tyre and wondered about that, is it just past the karikariki straight on the right?? How far down?? Do you just roll up and someone comes out to see you? Whats the deal bro? Sounds good i live in Rags, handy..

Yeap thats the one, if your talking about coming from Hamilton way. Heddon Rd. Yeah, we saw the tyre and just turned up, the guy came out and had a chat, we went back the next day with the bikes. The roads not very long, maybe a K down the road? you cant really see the track from the road. Its at the building site. Park there and you should see a lil bit of it through the gully and a few rugged little jump things on the far fenceline.

Some prick stole the tyre at the main rd though. It was fucked as well... Dunno who would have wanted that

Hiya all,
My very first post here!
I'm going down to Whangamata for the weekend (10 October) and wondering whether to take the old bushbashers with us. (XR200R, and DS80 for the kids).
Anyone know of a handy fun track down thataway we can tool around on?

Kimmys is pretty sweet now, went out there yesterday for a ride. Get out there quick before the whole place ruts out again though..

**leehoon** · 23rd November 2008, 13:10
