I'd have to agree with you on the type of road though..
I love lots of tight technical corners, sweepers, Camber changes, undulations, drop offs and a minimum straights

Hey, i was planing on going this sort of way sometime saturday, anyone keen.
Linux users: need a tool to load your mp3 player?
Yeah do that road a bit. There's some country roads off it that are pretty cool. I used to peddle them when I was a young(er) lad.
kinda
A lot of real tight corners piss me off. Up's and downs and good flowing shit is where I'm at. Where you can get your groove on and dance with the lady
Just got a call today that my stranded VTR in Napier is now repaired. Wasn't a coil, CDI , blocked jets , worn carbs ,short in the electical system , rectifier but was the throttle sensor. Was telling the cylinder to fire when it wasn't ready too. Why it was only doing it after 2 hrs running or when the bike was hot or travelling at 150+ beats me, but they say its running fine now. Just gotta figure out when to get her home. Flat out @ work at the mo including weekends for a lil while. Be great to get back in the saddle
If you don't know where you are going , any road will get you there ............
yeah......nah. Thanks for the offer but looking foward to a good blat home, might just make up for missing out on most of the castle point ride. Not fun at all watchn ya mates continue on while your'e figuring out ya next move with a half dead bike. :slap:

Yeah man, narrow roads with bad vis and wide + swinging trucks give me the heebies at times - clostrophobia - though its allot less frightfull on the 10 for some reason.. Not sure why that is
Hey at least you got it back on the road and it wasn't catastrophic! Sounds like a bus there, ride back mission i'd double you but you'd loose me on the way back

Nice open Napier - Taupo Highway .....your 10 Vs newly tuned storm , be a good battle but think you might have me on the straights. Also a recipe for a walk home without bikes I feel. Just want a good solid run, nothing too mad ...........

here's a little combination of some favourite roads I've hooked together :
Pokuru rd - Te Kawa rd - Wharepuhunga rd - Lethbridge rd - Bayley rd - Ngaroma rd - Mangatutu rd - Maihihi rd - Otewa rd - into Otorohanga - Waitomo valley rd - Fullerton rd - Oparure rd - Mairoa rd with lunch etc,etc in Piopio
I Used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass
Those are good roads and i especially like Fullerton rd - Oparure rd - Mairoa rd..
I also like to tack Barber Rd & Rangitoto Rd on at Otewa Rd and come out in Te Kuiti (Beter veiws going the other way though) I'm not too schooled on all the roads south, southwest & west of Te Kuiti though
Barber rd & similar roads are abit tight to throw the BB around on ( 250kg fueled + my muscular frame = @ 350KG) particularly at pace so best to nanna along on them type of roads until the more flowing roads come along....
