That was far too short a paragraph to describe the best motorcycling roads in the world. Please try again with more feeling.

The ride from Queenstown, over the crown range to hawea and on to Haast over the Haast past is with out a doubt one of the most outstanding trips you can do in the south island - the scenery, corners and road surface are nothing short of awesome:yes:

Its oK to mention the traffic now that we are also starting to see traffic problems down here. I had to wait and give way at the SH8 intersection on my way home from work the other day. That made for 4 other vehicles in only 10 km. :shit:

Ya no kidding... I saw 1 doing a speed trap in the south Island. There were way more in the north. BTW - the weather was pretty nice too and I was there at the beginning of August.

Nothing to see here, its all bull shit, pot holes, long straight roads, comparable to the desert road for scenery:whistle:
