    No close calls

    Just for the record, I've done almost 1,000km in the Waikato this week.

    No close calls, no bad drivers, no incidents, no police issues, people waved and the bikes all went great.

    And I had a really nice time.

    Sorry.

    I did almost 1,000km in almost the Waikato this week too - I didn't see you,and wouldn't of waved if I did.In fact I saw hardly any bikes.All the roads were great (I don't mind melted tar) and all the drivers were polite (and I was able to miss all those that weren't.

    My first week in 12 years when somebody else paid me to do nothing.

    I've been covering the Bel Ray.

    Was out at Te Akau way today, Kimmys on Thursday.
    Been returning via 22 - or further west.
    There was only 1 corner with no line through the tar.

    today it was close to optimum conditions

    Toko Oko Rd - (or is it Tiko?) - Rangirirri out to 22 - is a Motu special at the moment - just been dressed and graded and has has an inch of ball bearings on top.

    I even had the Buell slightly crossed up on exits.

    The West Waikato is quite unique. I think the bike roads there genererererrally have more corners per Km than any other part of NZ.

    Audacious claim?

    The parameter would be 'as a region' rather than 'a road'.

    Buller, Takaka Hill eg are similar, but there are more 'great' roads there than other regions - maybe.
