My brother and I went for a good ride from Tauranga to the Waikato and back through Rotorua.
Heavy showers on the Kaimais, along with trucks and diesel on the road, was potentially bad, but both bikes were rock solid.
There are some good backroads in the central waikato, and then back to Rotorua and tauranga.
Also rained going into and out of Rotorua, for once the rain came as a welcome relief from the heat.
