Its only about 2 hours to Gisborne, you'll be sweet bro, leave around 10am(?)

The road is good - I rode it a couple of weeks ago ... the slip area is fine - a short piece (hundred yards?) on the rough bit - no hassles ... but it's not two hours ...

Oh ... as you were ... from there and that route it's probably 2 hours ...

Only ever driven it once in a van, looking forward to doing it on a bike

Up or down the gorge will be fucking fun on an R1 ... if it's your first time on a bike watch for cars coming the other way .... every time I've ridden the gorge section at least one car has come round a corner on the wrong side of the white line ... give yourself a little left in case you have to dodge ...
