jeez, I know it was raining heavily, but I didn't realise it was heavy enough to need a raft on the roads!

I did but I think she's moved from there.Originally Posted by sil3ntwar
From Te A I'd go down thru the dam country and across Artimuri. Come back over the Mamakus to Okoroire, have a couple of cold ones then return via French pass. Not fast roads but heaps of corners.

she said she would !!
Heres a map of the loop I did on Xmas day
Awesome day for it, if you ever find yourself over in the bay region 1 road you have to look at is Middle Road, you can jump on at Havelock North & follow south through to Waipawa then onto to Waipakarau then route 52
I Used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass
Blue is BETTER
That's a cool route. And you avoid all that boring shit around the Manuwatu area.

Girlfriend going for her license on Sunday. Given her two quick lessons at the uni car park across the road. She hasn't dropped my bike yet! She is getting fairly good at starting and riding around and even changing gears (never driven a manual car...well once or twice but we wont go there....). The guys at RiderSkills in Auckland will get her going good. Their bikes should be much easier for her to learn on.

I'm in on this first one for the year on Sunday week, though I will be staying in Auckland that previous night I am really keen.. I'll plan to wake up in Auckland, ride down in time so's not to miss out on breakfast and join in the fun
I thought I thought that
only 1060
Thought it would've been longer than that; the other week a couple of us did Hamilton thru Opotiki to Gisborne and around the East Cape back to Hamilton in a day - just over 960 k's, 10 hours riding, 11.5 hours all up
Lifes Just one big ride - buckle up or hang on
Weekend cruiser
Anybody keen for a ride tomorrow??

only it took me 12.5 hrs (10am - 10:30pm) or 11hrs riding.. also shows how far out my speedo is as the bike says i did 992km

What bikes were you riding? Back in the late eighties, Our group, the Matamata road riders did a similar run. We headed over the Kaimais to Tga, down to Whakatane. Around the cape to Gisborne, back thru the gorge to Opotiki, over the Mamaku's.
Coming thru the gorge late afternoon was interesting. Half the corners were like riding into black holes due to the sun in our eyes. I did the trip on my XZ400 with a pillion. Three others also had pillions. Took us about 12 hours, 880k's back to Putaruru.
Is quite satisfying to complete a decent run without incident.
