anglia4 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Sooooo... Bucket Barry and I drove the entire route yesterday (14 hours!) and have the following observations: We can confirm you are all in for a fucking epic treat of a ride. The gravel quality and quantity is much higher than expected. SO. MUCH. GRAVEL! I'm gonna throw out a controversial statement and say the Pomarangi's are potentially better than the Motu road... There are 7 tunnels We saw no less than 3 of the "Caution - Extreme care - not suitable for caravans or heavy vehicles" signs Kiwi road is a little sketchy. We drove it fine in the landcruiser, but if we have a 2WD support vehicle and it rains then we might need to send that one around to meet us at the other end. These turkey's did it in a prius though! If its not raining it will be piece of piss. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morkster Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Interesting point there^ I'll most likely bring this as a support vehicle is 4wd.. Am thinking on bringing some basic tools, first aid kit, salvage ropes/strops, petrol can, and water too.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah discovered that wee curve-ball on the recky drive. We will be doing a lunch stop in Whangamomona, so will take the morning at a leisurely pace and aim for the 3pm opening. Its an easy run from there to Taumaranui. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learnt from last year on the Motu! We nearly needed to use it on the scout drive too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS125ER, but I didn't install the piston pin circlip properly so wrecked the cylinder... Facepalm. So it's now running agricultural spec porting with a TF125 cylinder (-2.5 to 4hp, depending on what online specs you believe). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglia4 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Stickers are on order. Patches are on order for those who ordered. The Whanga pub will be open and happy to have us. The Ohura Cosmopolitan Club are opening specially for Sunday lunch to make sure we are well primed for the Waitaangas & Kiwi Rd. Shits falling into place. I should probably get my bike ready too... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
