I just returned from doing the Forgotten Highway with the AKL KB gang. Left at 6 AM, from Masterton, joined the group in Taumarunui and stayed with them until Wanganui including New Plymouth and around the mountain along the coast. Returned home after 16 hours and 920 km. I am still stoked!

We had a FKN AWESOME TIME ! We had 19 bikes!!

Anyone reading this thread and wondering if you should do the trip or not, JUST FRIGGIN DO IT!!!

I'll write up a Ride Report on the AKL group thread, tomorrow, with pics. Have a look - more pics to come from others on the trip.
