Waihi Falls and Makairo Track traverse

#1702

well this ride happened as planned. The track was challenging especially for those of us who sometimes allow our fear to limit us. As evidence of this my fallen eleven fifty when I slipped on a cambered single track 😳


This ride in the company of 2 Dakars, 5 DR650's, an Airhead (two up), an HP2 and a KTM 540EXC reinforced to me what a challenge the big GS can be in less fully competent hands.

As always the scenery made it all worth while along with good company and lots of fun pushing oneself hard in the gravel sections.

Once again, an excellent adventure 😀 😀 😀

Was some pretty gnarly ruts on that track, eh Stephen!!!

Had a great time, good bunch of guys to ride with, let's do it again soon.

I see I am going to have to move to Wellington, or perhaps I am just in with the wrong crowd. I wish I’d been there. Thanks for the report and the pictures.

Alex, a move to Wellington is not such a bad thing 😀 and we’d be delighted to have you join us riding when we make the trek up for the Kaipara Adventure over Labour Weekend.
