Awesome ride with so a few people on it. I really must do that right someday. Thanks for posting.

Yeah. It's amazing how remote some of these roads feel. You can be out for half the day and only see 1 or 2 other vehicles.

Lovely scenery there - beautiful area! I'd *love* to retire in an area like this, as long as I had a decent car to get to town for groceries once a week or so! It'd be soooooo relaxing!

I agree. It'd be great to have that peaceful lifestyle. Probably need to stock up the pantry in case the roads close.

So many free range chickens! East of state highway 2 from Welly up to Napier is one of the few places i have never explored in this great place,,,,,

There are quite a few roads along that way. It's rather annoying that there isn't a coast road.

Great video with some nice riding. Thanks for posting. You mentioned 50/50ish tyres - which ones do you have? Tractionator Adventure rear with Anakee Wild front works well on my F800GS.

Cheers. When I bought the new bike I had them put on a set of Pirrelli Scorpion STR. When the rear wore out I replaced it with a Mitas Enduro Trail (much cheaper than the Scorpion). I'll have to replace the front soon and am not sure what I'll go with. Everything is determined by my bank balance nowadays.

Great Video, thats a route I have never been down, you travelled through some pretty wild country there, I have been down the Glen Ora Road, and normally travel back to PN via the coast road and then on to Pahiatua, thanks for sharing

At one point I was wondering whether I'd accidentally turned on to a private farm track. The Spur Rd must have only just opened after some major work.

I think their coop must have been damaged in some recent bad weather.

Haha, thanks. It's not always the case. The navigation on my bike has a tendency to send me around in circles (mainly if there are road closures) or even lose my location altogether. And I have a very poor sense of direction.

ride riding, what bike are you on, handles that gravel well

It a Tiger 900 Rally. The bike handles the roads better than it's rider. ;)

To everyone who says the only good roads are in the South Island... maybe not

The scenery might not be as grandiose as it is in parts of the South Island, but it's still worth exploring.
