Hehe yeah it does sound great when they all take off in a pack eh all except the trumpys that is

Jus look out for the road works down that ways man. Not baaad just long and annoying.
EDIT: roadworks down there are gone according to a mate who lives there

Yeah man, blatted down to see my dad it was great the roads were quite good, only a couple of patches of road works and they were easily manageable i forgot how many trucks frequented that road... not much of an effort to get past them tho.

We rode around some of the back roads in naki (dad's 1100 is out of action so he had is xj400) there are LOTS of bikes down there... couldn't believe it!

I came back on saturday avo which was a faster run than on the way down (less coffee and there fore less pitstops) totally stuffed my line up on messenger on the way back, 4 35k corners were sweet then hit the 55 all wrong.

Bloody good ride!

I've got a plan to take a crew down mid to late feb, stay in new plymouth the night and pick up my old man and possibly others, do the forgotten highway and head back to hams

I am still working on the BP stations that have 98 to seperate the trip out right and i will sus out accommodation closer to the time when i have a definite idea of numbers. A chase car would be cool to hold onto gear but i am not holding my breath.

I was having a break at a rest stop when I seen you go by....all the bikes where in the region for the KB chateau/plateau run, I went home via SH43 on the sunday & at the whangamomona hotel there would have easily been 200+ bikes everywhere. Very keen on your naki trip, I will hopefully be heading down for womad in March also.. keep us informed & may see you fellas on sunday

Wicked would have loved to see the 200 bikes parked up! sounds awesome. I am thinking of planning the naki trip about 3 weeks out so people can see the foreseeable future clearer, will keep you posted anyways.

Same bat time same bat channel sunday, still don't know where we are going yet but i will aim for the 250km mark with a BP in the middle.

Thts a fair ride, yup go down the western acess. (out behind tokoroa) is a more exciting way to get down to taupo. Last I heard there was still major road works and a 10km-ish gravel detour at arahina (1/3 way through)

Quite do-able in one day. Did it once on my VT-250 by accident, only ment to go to taupo but get distracted and ended up in turangi for BK....

Waipapa Road is open right through to Mangakino again. No roadworks on Western acess either for now.( just dont tell anyone)

Medieval fest sounds cool. A bit far for the 1/2 day that i might be able to get off work, have fun.

Oh so it's like that is it? Gona off the green now? You just don't like it when they're in front on you! (says the n00b)

What's with the BP? Screw the fuel I want my flybuys. So far I've spent about $2 mil and I nearly have enough points for a toastie machine.
