Oh sorry, you said Waikato...my bad
Besides, I don't really know the names of roads, I just remember I like them when I'm on them.

Right... So has anybody got any roads that they don't like ?
I myself don't have any roads i particularly dislike.. however i do get bored & sore riding along any long straight roads
Should be out riding
SH1, SH2, and other long, overly caged roads with cheese cutters

To be honest, I find Arupini Rd a little boring (pretty much the opposite to Slofox
Anything that involves constant throttle at 100 km/h is a little lame for me. And before anyone goes there - riding any section like that at 200km/h doesn't make it any less lame.

...depends on HOW you ride it, ckai...don't spend too much time on it...if ya know what I mean...To be honest, I find Arupini Rd a little boring (pretty much the opposite to Slofox
Try Ouruwhero Road from Otorohanga to Te Awamutu via Pokuru if you want something more interesting...watch the humpback bridge just south of Te Awamutu - I took it a little faster than usual this morning, stood up on the pegs as I went over and just about rotated forward over the handlebars...added interest to the ride...

Does anybody get a bit unsettled riding down narrow backcountry sealed roads with no road markings on it ?
I know i've heard a few people say that it's not fun meeting stock truck and trailer units on them. And my only motorcycle accident involved a car doing a 5 piont U turn on one 30mtrs after a blind corner in a 100km/h zone.. i nearly stopped before the impact.. I still love the roads though
270 Degrees, then Joy & Repeat
I do not mind them too much, one just has to keep well left and slow down for crests and most blind corners.
I am not fast anyhow so suites me just nice
The only part I do not like about them is gravel, wet spots, cow shit etc..
