My riding buddies aren't free next year and I want to do a tour of NZ, on the road from Jan 7 - 21. I'm thinking of starting out near the tip of South Island and finishing by taking part in the DB1K (www.db1k.com).
I'll be riding a midsize dual sport (TE610 or DRZ400), spending time on dirt trails, carrying minimalist camping gear, staying in hotels every few days. I'm more focused on nature and distance than technical challenge. To get a flavor of what I am thinking of, see www.advtrail.com, trip report from my previous trip on the TAT in the US. I've just started planning, so there's a lot of room for flex.
PM me for more details or if you know someone who might be willing to join for all/part of the ride. I'm a brit, easy going, reliable, a solid rider. This will be an incredible adventure.
Also if you've got any route/travel suggestions, please post away!
