at the dip before you climb up the gorge, a girlfriend and I had a very hot day ride just before the 5.10 min mark we decided to take a dip at the rest area, I mean strip off and into the cold water. A tourist coach pulled up as we were in the water, full of Japanese tourist, well that was a laugh, we casually grabbed our gear and put it on, the bus did not stay too long, we passed it on the other side of the Mahoenui Hill. I did a mad ride with a mate back in the 90s, he had a ZZ1100 I had the Yam FJ1200, he said he always wanted to see how fast he could go up the Mahoenui Hill, it was fast, I think we hit around the 230kmh going up and slowed to about 150 at the top, it felt like I could get off and walk. Yes miss my bikes and riding, thanks for a great video, a road I have travelled for many years in trucks,c cars vans and of course motorbikes
Hi mate looks like you have been busy. Got it on this clip studio.ruclips.net/user/videoaFfzPeuXnjg/edit Had to use music due to the wind noise. Thanks for watching.
