    See ... I have less than 20 litres - so Opotiki to Wairoa is a risk ...

    But you should easily do Wairoa to Havelock North .. and maybe even as far as Waipawa on Middle Road with 22 litres ...

    I have done 52 many times (08 GC was the worst @ 2am) Did it on the way home as I wanted to check out Weber Rd for a change on the way down

    there where a few weary looking faces once we hit Masterton, drunken teenagers everywhere freight train of @ 12-15 bikes scared the shit out of them but most of us couldn't be fucked dealing with them so got the stamp & went up the road to the other gas station where it was nice & quiet.... cool ride to Pahiatua & over the saddle
