Early start out of Auckland, circa 6:20am. Weather outlook a bit dodgy but had to go. All good. Made way to Thames then Coromandel for breakfast. Met an interesting cafe owner/worker who had ridden from the UK to Dubai via Iran. Great gravel then on the 309 to the East Coast, then the Coroglen Tapu road - which is one of my favourites. All up a great trip. The gravel was muddy. A bit loose on the front at times, but all good. Home by circa 2pm, after buying some cat food ;-).
The #supertenere went great as always. Totally planted. A good mini #motorcycleadventure , not really an #advrider , but some good fun. #motorcycletrip to #coromandel always very very scenic.
Funny #cardo story for a future video. Embarrassing.

The stops and the views are part of the deal, thanks for the follow along

I should have stopped more to smell the roses ;-). Thanks for your comment.

beautiful Coromandel

@motogusnz Год назад

Sure is. A special place.

Bit of a grey wet day through the gravel!! Stunning scenery though.

@motogusnz Год назад

Thanks for that. Probably helped keep the traffic low, which is good on those roads ;-)

Nice variation on the traditional loop. Careful with the front brake!!😉

@motogusnz Год назад

Thanks Stephen. Definitely easy on the front brake. The surface didn’t seem tooo bad. No obvious clay patches which you get on some. A bit more predictably loose ;-)

We are the kids at Kawhia in the ute

@motogusnz Год назад

Classic. And one of the most amazing places I’ve visited. Not in this vid, because this is the Coromandel- but presume you mean the previous one where I went to Marakopa and Kawhia. Thanks for that. Actually, I was back in Kawhia yesterday.

Good to see someone else who doesn't think they'll melt in the rain on their bike.

@motogusnz Год назад

Haha. The rain seems to clear the roads from other vehicles too - which is great on some of those roads. It’s why I like riding Coromandel gravel in Winter. Summer must be a nightmare

What fun! Doing a clay road in the rain 😂 How many times did you have to put your feet down 😂 Stunning but.

@motogusnz Год назад

Thank you very much for that. Ha ha. I kept my feet up. Maybe once out for some balance but the Super Tenere soo heavy I’d just be letting it go and jumping off ;-)

Can't wait for the "embarrassing " story 😉

Very cool videos. Question i have is how do you get your audio of talking in your helmet to the go pro?

@motogusnz Год назад

Greetings David. Thanks for you comment ;-). My helmet audio involves the following bits of kit: 1. A Ulandi GoPro case that holds the GoPro and 2. the GoPro Audio Adapter. 3 It needs the trrs to trs audio plug converter. And then 4. A lavalier microphone with a furry cat on the end. I might do a little vid on my set up. But I do have an old GoPro Hero 5 I think. The latest might be a bit different. You can search lots of Motovlogging setups. I do have an expensive mic which I think helps.

What tyres are you rrunning

@motogusnz 5 месяцев назад

Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross AX41. About to move to my 4th set, I think. Previously Continental TKC70s and 80s on my GS. The AX41 gives up a ‘little’ on gravel but feels better (compared to the TKC80) on road cornering and braking (way better). To me, anyway.
