This has been a great thread, I've enjoyed all your wanderings, and it's given me an incenntive to explore east of SH1...I've always thought it was just boring flat land and straaight roads. So, why have you sold the bike ?

Thank you awa355 for this thread and for sharing your adventures with us. For me your posts have shown to remind me what beauty exists in our countryside sub-102 km/hr.
I hope this isn't really the end.
I too, as others have said, will miss your ride reports and photos. Thank you for taking the time to put the reports and photos together. All the best for your retirement. Cheers.
all the best Arthur, hope you win Lotto, and buy your dreambike !
Thanks for all the ride reports.

Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

I drove back from Taupo to Auckland this afternoon. I am completely over SH1 and SH27 / SH2, so when Google Maps suggested a route through Whakamaru, and Te Awamutu, I thought, why not.
Very enjoyable drive from Taupo to Te Awamutu. Would be fun on a bike, especially Waipapa Road.
The distance was actually less than SH1, and I doubt it took any longer given all of the roadworks on SH1 at the moment.
Our Central North Island IAM group had a cracker of a ride through the Waikato back roads in January. We really are blessed with some stunning roads with virtually no traffic. This is the route we took on Google Maps : https://goo.gl/maps/AcSWHhstJHF2
Wow, useage of the ride/Tour reports have died off. I still recognize a number of names after three years.

Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.
Murray, caseye, good to know you are still around. Retired, and loving it. Everyday is a weekend. Taking photos is my enjoyment now. Local sports, widelife etc. Healthwise, hasn't been great for those around me. Cancer has attacked my wife, taken one sister, with another on her way out.
I'm still ticking along but sad to see so many from way back to now falling by the way.
