Quick question, which is the best state highway for a bike to take from Palmerston North to Napier? SH50 or SH2?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
Dont know what to put here
50 is more fun......done!
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.

Then he will really like it on 2 just past the turn off to 50 then!
That is one boring piece of road from Takapau to Waipukarau.
Whats wrong Boob? The RF liked going around corners & TLs do!

Now whatever else you do, you HAVE to go SH50. That is one beautiful piece of road ... just beautiful. It's got some straights on it too. The tikotiko one is a boomer Boob.

Enjoy whichever you choose,Takapau straights are good but need radar on,worth a stop at Norsewood at the pub,great food and the Norsewear shop open?for warm clothes.Flick a text when near Palmy can grab a brew with ya,if not working,finish 2.30 Sat pm,sounds like you will be through Palmy though.

Interesting.
The most "attention getting" ride that I ever had was through that way and I was on an RF 900 too. The cross wind was unreal. Across the Takapau plains I was down to second gear, almost getting a knee down in the gusts and still getting blown across the centreline.
Boob, You convey the impression that you are a bit pressed for time on this trip, but if not, then from Waipawa north, there are at least 3 alternatives (apart from 2 and 50) that will more than satisfy any taste for corners.
I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
The instructions are simple...
Can be well 'watched' though, from Tikokino south to Takapau turnoff.
Many more than that...but local knowledge to find them is a must.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
