Have a look at my web site advroutes It has a few to start with but the locals will tell you about other places to ride.

Cheers R

Hi Fred

We met in Picton outside the bar on Thursday evening.

I have used the advroutes web site a lot - there are some really great rides on it - highly recommended

cheers

Saw Fred going the other way the other day and today his KLR was parked up outside DSE in Nelson.

My cellphone is sooo bad at photos I'm almost ashamed to post these

It's held together with red insulation tape but it's still waterproof and still works.
I've got some older searchable maps on it but I think they're only of the South Island.

I upgraded to a Garmin Quest and use this one for a bit of GeoCaching.

Do you use the bar mount?

We could meet up somewhere tomorrow but I'm off to Dunedin at 4:30pm.

If we don't get together I'll leave it at Murray McLean Motorcycles in Vanguard Street.

Have a play with it and if it's going to work for you then have fun. Otherwise just drop it back to the shop.
