Wow cool - thanks for sharing the photos they are great. A few years ago I would accuse you of doctoring the photos coz you have photos of the West Coast without pouring rain, but the last two times I been there it was glorious too!

Thanks! We've been really lucky with the weather on the coast, on our 06 trip we rode from Westport to Jacksons Bay with sun almost all the way & not a drop of rain.

Cheers Mate! I took most of the pics with my lil digicam, any with me in them (red jacket on KTM) were taken by my mate Mike. Neither of us are pros at all. Given a sunny day in a lot of the places we went you can point a camera almost anywhere & get a good pic!

hmm not good... if it's not ADV's end then there may be less chance of it getting fixed anytime soon

Thanks! The weather was good, we only really got rained on for about a 1/2 hr going over Arthurs during the whole week. The last couple of days are up now.

Cheers
