Mark, that is the first time I have watched this video...amazing road..Why didn't I follow you??? I reckon I could have managed it on the Himmy, not the Super Meteor! Scenery is stunning....man NZ is beautiful!
Well then I guess that if a 500 classic can do it then a HD-tourer could possibly make it as well??? Thanks for your realistic approach to this fantastic peace of road, well done
Did you guys have on/off road tyres on. DRZ 400-650 country in there would handle that mud easily but then you wouldn't get Legendary Status that you guys earned taking a Classic 500 over it,great stuff.
That was like watching history repeating itself from my ride through there with a mate in January. We too thought we'd avoided the deepest of the crossing and then I got stuck in that ditch too. A few of those rocks that were in there were probably from us! Really enjoyed the memory! Thanks for the vid.
Doing alright for a couple of wiskery old fellas, ( I’m one too!). How hard it is depends on how much rain it’s had before you go through, sometimes it can get really interesting, looks like you got lucky and had a really good ride, beautiful through there isn’t it, well worth a look!

Next rally in the South ... we will do it again with you - Im sure Dave would love to do it again.... maybe the other way next time...

Delightful video! Nice to have no "music" - just the engines throbbing away with the odd comment. Well done.
Wonderful adventure you guys did.

Hey Mark, fun video mate.

Enjoyed that!
Thanks for sharing this video.

No worries

I.ll pop over on my bullet from England. New Zealand can't be far? 🤔 Great road . Thank you. 👍🏻
See you soon 😂
Great trip though there we went through a few weeks ago.
Cool vid. At 11:23 is exactly where I waited for my mate and fell off the bike as I filmed him passing lol
Cracking video folks, if Enfields could ride mountain roads in India can do anything.
It's in New Zealand
Damn I want a classic 500!
This is what the 500 was designed for!
Thanks!

You go to the trouble to video the highest public road in NZ and you don't film the sign at the summit. 😵💫🤡
