What's good around Palmy North?

Post by wsnownz »

Moving up to Palmerston North area soon. Looking to get myself a 100 series cruiser after a couple of 70s and a 90.
It might get a lift and some aggressive ATs but that's about it. Where are good spots to look around?

Cheers

Definately join a club there is a few in the area apart of one myself. Opens a lot of doors to go to some nice areas and a good chance to meet some new people.

North range road is a good mikd track. Was getting a bit chopped up last winter but not too bad. Takapari is always a nice shiney truck run up to the a frame hut. And past it all the way to the swamp.
