In respect of lane splitting there was no change in the way I was riding when going past the police vehicles and any other vehicles and the commentary also makes it clear that the main thing about lane splitting is be safe and don't be a dick about it. Thanks for watching.

Hope you enjoyed your run around the loop, it’s always a good day 😎

Same as me on every count, hardly ever been stopped and as long as you lane split sensibly without putting yourself or others at risk they tend to leave you alone. Cheers 😎

Cheers, thanks for watching 😎

Yup, I have to agree, at the very least a crime of gross stupidity

Exactly 💯 😎

Thanks for watching, agree with everything you just said 😎

definitely got to look out for the imp grottos 💯 😎

exactly the sound I was going for !

@@HughBeRiding what sound is that knobbs or bobbs

Good some good film from yesterday's ride which might just make it to the UA-cams one day 🤣

yeah, it was one of those great weather late winter rides 😎

I was passing mate and looking in the rearview mirror there was no single soul being impeded by me. Strangely hardly anybody is keen to zip on past a highway patrol car which is doing 98kmh in a 100kmh zone, hence the cautionary approach.

Well spotted 😎🤘

kiaora brother Pauly, nga mihinui, I just subscribe to your karakiatubey

Hi, I couldn't say whether it's "the best" setting but I use HwyNoK mode which means I won't get alerts from K-band which includes fixed speed cameras, red light cameras, mobile camera vans BUT is also used by a huge array of other GPS/Navigation/Radar devices mobile and fixed which will completely overwhelm your radar alerts. I tried it briefly and it was not a great experience. None of the penalties for those enforcement-based K-band activations include demerit points and that is the thing I am most keen to avoid. What the HwyNoK setting will pick up is Ka-band which is used in Stalker Dual Radar units deployed in enforcement vehicles all over the country and will most definitely include demerit points if you are unlucky enough to be stopped and ticketed. I suppose in the end it comes down to whether you want alerts going off ALL the time or only want the most painful stuff to be brought to your attention as you are riding along. As always, it's your own decision. Cheers.

@@HughBeRiding Thanks mate that makes sense. I live just out of Cambridge and ride Raglan, Coro loop and the epic country roads we have down here and the only alerts I have got so far have been railway crossings and travelling behind some cars as it picks up the sensors. I would imagine motorways would be very different story. I appreciate your advice. Great videos!

thanks mate, glad you enjoy them

Cheers Ian, see you on the next one 😎🤘

Cheers TJ, took me a moment to recognise the corner marker at Waikoukou Valley Road/Old North Road intersection 🤣 Great to see you back on the road with us😎

Actually 27km if you ride by the most direct route but we prefer to take the long way around and on this ride I clocked up 143km door to door while anyone riding from the south shore would have travelled further. Our regular casual Saturday rides usually average around 130km-300km while our monthly longer distance day rides will typically cover around 500km-600km. Just saying.

Glad you enjoyed it 🤘😎

Thanks for watching 😎

You betcha 😎

A surprisingly common problem 🤣🤣

good one Jimmy

Sounds like an amazing ride. Great way to make some everlasting memories 😎🤘

Epic ride ❤

glad you liked it 😎

that's what I thought too 🤘

Stretching the legs 😎

Who hurt you as a child ? I'm sorry for your suffering

And I have no illusions about what the AM or any of those other cars could do if they wanted but they didn't. I'm a motorcycle rider too, just trying to get home safely. I think your ego story might be a bit of self reflection. Ride safe.

@@HughBeRidingActually, NO, you don't think that. You just have to give some kind of smarty-pants response. Confirming what I wrote about your ego. Ride safe, and respect the double-yellow line AND the speed limits.

Looks like $300k well spent to me

💯👍👍👍👍👍👍

Well you just have to work with the hand you are dealt I suppose. Ride safe ! 😎

We stopped to put on wets in the gorge and by the time we got going again mayhem was already happening on SH2 so we changed course and came across that gas guzzling super car which later became a speck in our rear view mirrors 🤣

Absolutely, it's exactly that and in my opinion safer for the motorbike rather than the alternative of being in stop start traffic waiting to get rear-ended

True that! It's almost like they threw down quarter of a million plus on a car and then got too scared to drive it. Great looking car though 😎

You can say that about almost any driver in any vehicle on the road

😼🐭

Yeah, that is certainly the case and a good enough reason to love being on the bike, especially when the countryside looks so amazing🤘

Cheers, yes, you certainly need to keep your mind on the job and anticipate a few moves ahead 😎

Good news for you, there's plenty of gravel and potholes too on the state highways 😎 Doesn't seem to keep the Harleys or any other bikes from touring though

😎 🇳🇿

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for commenting 😎🤘

thanks for watching 😎🤘

it's a tidy little road, certainly get's it's share of trucks 😎

Cheers Leon, looking forward to go back and spend more time in Motorcycle Mecca, that place is amazing

slowest overtaking move of my life 🤣

there is no fast lane dopey well when the speed limit is 100kph only a right lane to pass slow traffic or sit at 80 t0 90 in the other 2 lanes.

yup, was really holding up hundreds of cars impatient to speed past the highway patrol

@@HughBeRiding haha I noticed the speeding cars as you passed the at under 100kph REEEEEly rushing aight..

Nimble not noble😂

thanks for the tip, you certainly know how to do things properly

Yeah, I suppose it depends on who you run into. I have been pinged by zero tolerance roving units before with no sense of humour on 3kmh and 4kmh over the posted speed limit. My policy is don't give them that chance to make an example and get their quota.
