Oh wow. I've always wanted to do something like this on old disused railroad tracks. Ever since I was a kid and saw old spur lines leading someplace god know where I've wanted to be able to do this. There was a caboose parked on an abandoned spur near me, I wanted to live in it when I was 11. I wanted to use the old hand-pump work carts you saw in old movies to go down the tracks, now that I'm lots older a golf cart looks like a much better idea! Count me in when I can do this someplace closer than New Zealand!

In America they're called speeders. The National organization is called NARCOA. They arrange insurance and places to ride. Riding in one is cool as fark.

Why not not-walk into Mordor when you can not not-ride a golf cart?

That's friggin cool. I've ridden the Forgotten Highway (on a GSXR 1000 :D ) and I tell you, that's some remote bushland. I'd mention Whangamomona too, but I can't spell it. Fun to say tho.

90 miles at 12 miles an hour pushing the pedal the whole way? It sounds like it would get incredibly boring after a few hours. Not to mention painful for the ankle and annoying when you come up on the asshole in front of you who wants to stop every 100 feet to look around (I'm assuming the gold carts actually ride the rail and you can't go around someone).

I was at my parents' place in rural eastern WA a few months ago and we saw these things go by on the track through town and were wondering what the hell they were. And now I know. Thanks.
