    Mate was having a dirty weekend in Taupo so I escorted him some of the way there & back.
    If you get interested in doing Palmy, Taupo, Napier, Palmy one "fine" weekend let me know if you want some company. 600k the round trip from door step to door step for me.

    Yep - have done it before and will probably do it again. A mate and I also did Tamaranui (sp), around back of the lake, Napier & back 1 day. Good ride!

    Highly recommended, also better than taking State Highway north. Sounds like you need to do a 1000 miler - great way to discover new roads etc. Not that great for catching the scenery - quite dark for a fair bit of it

    If my bike was a bit more comfy like say.....yours and Meanies I would do the Rusty nuts I reckon but not on this bike, i'm absolutely shagged after the 600K taupo block so I think a thousand miler ain't gonna happen...Not on the Ace anyway On a Concours or a FJR13 i'd be in I reckon. The main Issue I have with distance is I get a sore throttle wrist pretty early and a sore backside after about 90k, it's all managable with fairly frequent stops and I don't think thats cool for a thousand miler, for that i think I need a bike with little to no weight on the wrists and a bigger more comfortable seat a la Concours/FJR13
