Great backroads - Napier to Palmerston North motorcycle ride

Описание: The Tiger needed it’s 10K service (even though I’d done almost 15K). The nearest Triumph service centers are at Tauranga, or Palmerston North. My work office is in Palmy so I could go there without needing to take a day off work. This meant that I could use the Sunday to make it a fun ride.
I have been along the Mangahone Rd, off the Napier Taihape Rd, a while ago on my old bike. On that journey I was trialing a Sony camera but had attached it to my helmet in such a way that it was looking down at the road for the majority of the journey. This time, with my DJI camera, I managed to get some footage that shows how awesome this road is. In places it feels like a budget version of the Molesworthworth Track. I took a accidental, but nice detour along the Moawhango Valley Road. This took me back to the Taihape Rd.
The second stage of the trip, Tahape to Palmerston Nth, zigzagged along some of the awesome backroads through Ruahine, Apiti, Utuwai, Pohangina, and Ashurst, before reaching Palmy. These road were narrow, twisty, and wonderfully scenic. It’s a great area to explore.
