Tis a weird situation. Great tarmac being pedestrianized & yet the gnarliest, nastiest gravel roads with instant death drop offs are still 100kmh limit. Put knobblies on the bike, I did.

Yes, good idea! Still waiting for the outcome of the decision from the Porirua City Council but I expect the result is a forgone conclusion. Unless they have been bogged down by a multitude of objectors which I doubt.Originally Posted by george formby
Trouble is, is that in NZ regulatory authorities there exists a system of workers (rather like an ant colony) that is dedicated to the expansion and replication of more and more rules and regulations. In part this is to justify their own existence, but in order to maintain a facade, their work is justified as being in the Greater Public Good.
Unlike you and me, who sit about talking $%#@ on the 'net, these workers are dedicated to 40 hrs per week 52 weeks per year focussing their time and energy to implement more and more regulation to help you become a Good Citizen.
This is why, in about 10 years, all beer sold in NZ will be limited to .25% alcohol, cats will be required to have their teeth removed and be chained up overnight, your motorcycle's horses & torques will be emasculated by a devious device required by the LTSA and if you run over a possum on the road you will be liable to prosecution by the SPCA.

It's a residential road now and populated by people who don't respect the centre line. This speed limit will give you both the opportunity to avoid oncoming vehicles on your side of the road and for small capacity bikes to drop the big boys in the really twisty bits when those guys on their flash as bikes find out they can't even maintain 60km/hr over the whole length of the road and they've been relying on the throttle to look good.

As is the Akatarawas. What's the limit there again?
I should know, I went to visit the brother today, via Karipoti-Maungatuks etc. Not a radar in sight.

Oh I don't know, the Rimutakas are just about all redone with proper asphalt...almost suitable for go-karts nowNot as good as the Hundalees, of course I would never have raced through that

Whatever it is it'll be to high, that's a fucking goat track

I read here somewhere what the record time from one bridge to another over there. Not sure if the time was more impressive than the fact that someone survived the attempt without wearing a land rover.
