Diamond Harbour gets a vote from me - as much as a ride to Kaikoura sounds great, i think my current skill level limits me to a shorter ride on more familiar roads - on a longer trip i might be tempted to try and keep up with others too much.

Yea yea, diamond harbour, lovely ride for my last for a while with you lot.
An experience cannot be proven, intellect and reason cannot prove the beauty of an awesome relationship with a motorbike.
Yee haaaa
I'll be heading back from the coast on Weds so may not make the WNR, we'll see ...

Hey Flip not good to hear about your health!!!!! If you're not better soon we'll have to get Roger to come and chear you up. He would get on well with your welsh terror.
Anyway, would your health be up to Evens, Port and around the bays???????
And remember ...... if it hasn't got one of "Uncle Flip's" prosthetic kickers it isn't a real motorbike!!!

Well, I'll be up for the short one - gave up the "500kms for snacks" runs after uni, and after $500+ for tyres last week I'm maybe thinking I should ration myself a bit!
also - cheeky comments, semi in-jest; applies specifically to the long-run crew but also to the regulars - make sure you've got the basics ... spare lights (esp headlight), fuses, tyre repair kit (Petra!), torch so you can use them, hazard triangle or flashers, first aid kit if you feel particularly responsible...
Have a good ride, wherever!

I had a Dr200 once, it was a good wee bike. When i sold it a chap turned up to take it for a ride. He asked what the gears are? I said "First gear is down" so he road around the back yard slowly and then said i'll take it! He handed me the cash and then rode off down the road in first gear and off into the distance!! Perhaps i was at fault and should have told him that it had 4 more gears that are up? I dunno you tell me?! lolWelcome Ben!

WORNG. according to the police the worst road in canterbury for motorcycle accidents it the bit from Hallswell to Little river. State highway 1 hardly rates a mention.
People that are too scared to ride at night need to get out more.

What are they intended to be? I thought they were a chance to get out, socialise, meet other bikers and go for a ride. Stopping every 20 mins for 10 mins is a yawn and sometimes some of us just want to go a bit further.
