Thank you so much for you offer, I was told not to plan to much ahead but I expect to be in Invercargill and Bluff sometimes after new year that is not to far from you, sorry but this is first time I herd of Catlins. Man I got loot to learn and see. Planing to go down West coast and see Wanaka, Queenstown and Milford sound before I go south. I my stay first night in Nelson with one of KB . Will keep in touch. I wouldn't like to be hassle to you or anyone at this time of year so even if you got just place to park bike and put up little 2 person tent, will be much appreciated . I was told that most of camping grounds and backpackers are fool .

when the offer is made Din, it's not a hassle as i've found the biker community when tripping around, either down here (or when up in the norf)

have a great trip & take lotsa pic's & hope to catch up when you're down this way

Understand...Mate have a good ride....If you make it that far, then Milford is a must in fine weather....but cruise the road from Te Anau on, enjoy the scenery and watch for stupid tourists. Your daughter would be blown away by the mountains and valleys. My profile picture is between the divide and the Hollyford valley road to give you some idea.

Tel me about it I know what you saying I was just on my way to work tonight start at 6 pm , was running bit late but before MT Wellington of ramp north bound was blue and white GSXR 750 late model 07 on side of the motor-way I stop even that I was late to work. Biker have got puncher in new beck tire only done 50 km he show me big nail so I ask how can I help. He told me that at Waipuna at 6.30 he is got ceremony, because he just graduated so he was leaving bike there and ask me to give him lift to Waipuna. I told him I will have to go home and get my beck seat, on R1 only got caver. So I did go home and back to give him lift to Waipuna. He left his bike on side of the motor-way and told me he will get it home after ceremony. So dude if you are KB I hope you got your bike home before dark

.I was 40 min late to work but that is OK, good thing will come beck to me.
Regardless of me being late to work I have to do it, as I see him there first ting come to my mind was "imagine if that was me on trip around SI"

Yes I know what you saying about bikers community I help lot of us and you guys help me.

Hey Din, good on ya for getting out and doing the trip with one of your kids! It is an absolute pearler down there to be riding on two wheels of freedom. Gremlin and I did the trip last year and we had a blast (as well as not managing to kill one another!)

Here's the thread (if you can be bothered to wade through it) http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=89265

And yeah, after a graveyard shift, try to have a nap for a hour before leaving okay?
