Sealed all the way! Very nice, I love that road, but haven't done it for a long time, hunted off it too, there used to be a lot of deer about as well...... It's on my list again for when I next up North. Thanks for the video. 😎
@DustyVisorMotorcycles Thanks for watching our video, yes I'm sure you should do it again now, will be a completely different ride for you now, but just as enjoyable I bet.
The Gentle Annie road has a terrible reputation -- at least from the 50's, 60's & 70's. It was unsealed, very twisty, and had plenty of bad spots. I drove over it in in the summer of about 2005 from Hawkes Bay to Taihape. By then, the greater part of it was sealed and the rest was a fairly decent unsealed surface. I enjoyed the then very easy drive.
Great Job, loved the commentary and the places you go are so exciting, bring on more adventures, love to see them.
ST1300, Napier-Taihape. Now I want to do it the other way. Cheers.
I rode it on my xj600 some years ago prior to sealing. It was in great condition
Mangaweka has my brother too. Cheers.

Great ride. Ridden through the Annie a couple of times in DEEP snow.
@@dennishardy4402 Thanks, that sounds crazy mate!
Great video , but sometimes the music overpowers the audio commentary. Just a heads up!
@johnturnbull8573 Thanks for the feedback, will aim to improve
