How could he not be with attitude like that. Kinda like the Mickey Rourke (or Robert Downey junior) of bikes.
How did you come across that? Do you follow that guys pics? I only get to see half a pininterest page before it blanks off & wants me to join - quite annoying really when you only want to check out a pic or two...

Boycott over temporarily.
I went to Totaranui yesterday. Lovely, but was the slowest trip ever over Takaka hill. Quite iceyHad to let a car go past as he was travelling too close behind me and I didn't really feel like being run over if the bike went down.
May go somewhere tomorrow too.Maybe just a road ride.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

Don't bother with SH 6.....icy as. Big truck crash between Kawatiri & the Gowan, 2 trucks involved...

So, you're saying he's got addiction issues?
Was doing a Google image search (for Airhead Dirt Bikes) which took me across to Pinterest. Found Schmiddy at the top of this guys pinned images.
I've joined via Farcebook, just to poke around.

Cheers, Was going to keep out of shady areas so wouldn't have gone into the gorge anyway.
Oh really... Maybe I will spend time in the shed attempting to get the Benelli road legal, so it can be ridden further than just the odd hoon around the streets of Richmond. Its good to have an old bike in the shed to work on when your main bike is so gosh darn reliable.

Anyone had a look at the Glenroy Road? It goes off Matakitaki Rd and heads south down the Glenroy river. Looks pretty interesting..

You're right. It does.

Ive only been up so far....didn't get up as far as Thurlows. Who can be a bit tricky to deal with....
I don't know what they'd be like towards bikers. I could ring them....to see if its O.K & wether a key is required.
When were you thinking?
I'd be keen to come for a looksey
There is also the Downies Hut option which can be accessed from the Tutaki Valley South rd. Ive been there on Horse but that might be a more summery trip as the track is nonexistant in places & the river crossings could be tricky.
The manager of Mt Ella is happy for folk to head thru the property & its a choice wee hut (Downies)
A good loop would be to join the dots between Glenroy & Downies....would be worthwhile to talk with the relevant landowners at the Nardoo, Matakitaki Stn & Mt Ella,....

The http://wams.org.nz/ website shows public access along the river all the way so access shouldn't be a problem. The 4wd track is marked on the map to Branch Creek.
Not sure of when to do a mission. When it warms up a bit maybe?
I am therefore I do
Yeah ideally when its a bit warmer....the rivers are pretty low at the mo though....August is usually pretty settled round here, but come September it might not stop 'till Dec.
I will give the Thurlows a bell as the locals can be pretty protective of their patch, mainly because of hunters.That's usually why they lock a gate. Its one thing to chuck your MTB over one , another thing to chuck the KTM over.
I am therefore I do
I'll talk to a mate who'll have an idea of how far up we maybe able to get...
Moped rider
I'd be up for a look as well. A fine weekend in late August sounds good.
Scooter boy
Sweet. Late August could be a go
