      I wonder what difference you would see. Bikes more polished and controlled by system, more road/ council regulations who knows. Not many old bikes there. Could count them on fingers of both hands . Still really awesome rally and for me start if cold kiwi adventure for years to come

      Yeah. I usually ride solo do it's hard for me to stop as I just want to keep riding. So doing this filming makes me stop and appreciate the scenery and slow down a bit. As I don't smoke 😁🔥

    You gotta watch out for those steel belts in the tyre doing the burn out, I saw a guy chop his number plate in half in a few seconds one year. was cool.

    Dutch mate of mine used old car innertubes as bootcovers looked stupid but worked . he also used tread of tyres to make soles for his clogs, again looked crap but good grip

    Wow $2.72 for 91-oct I imagine about $3 for 98-oct😔😔 that's disgusting... I done the cold Kiwi from Palmerston North to waiouru when I was 18 years old (about 1992) with a group of about 12 of us that all worked at Higgins
    Edit: I’ve lived in Australia since 1996
