    After 5 years of no bike I was asked to help pick up an Indian for a friend. I had to pillion on his other 2014 Indian Chief to go get it. took 5 mins before i was silently screaming in my lid. oh yeah. then i rode a Cheif. Having never ridden a "cruiser", it was the easiest bike I have ever ridden. A nice 50 min ride on the incredible torque machine back home had wanting more.
    about two months later.
    Wifey insisted I get another bike for sanity. so I got a 2007 ...
  4. The Half

    24/09/16

    After much planning to produce ‘the half’, it was finally time to ride it. ‘The half’ being the ‘North Island 800’, an NZ Distance Riders offering to ride 800km in 12 hours, which is being run in conjunction with the North Island 1600 24 hour event, although for some reason, I’ve never heard that referred to as ‘the Full’.

    The event isn’t scheduled until 08 October, but as one of the organisers, I had decided to ride it early to get the checkpoint photos for ...

  5. There and Back Again - Another Hobbit's Tail

    From: 19-20/03/16

    Things have been pretty busy lately, both at work and on the biking front, doing prep work for this year’s Nth Island 1600 in October. My big job in that area right now has been fine-tuning a route, then preparing the Rider’s Guide, which was all but done except for the sample checkpoint photos, (although it did have streetview photos in there for now)… So a plan evolved.
