After 20 years in NZ I finally planing to do tour around South Island, I heard how beautiful it is and was advise from lot of my biking mates to do it. It is bit hard to leave wife with 5 kids, so I will take one 8 yo daughter with me. Just the two of us. Be good for her to see and share experience of trip with me, as lot of you KB's know me I always take one of my kids on ride, trips and relies. On Wednesday 23 I'm finishing 12 hr last shift 6am from work and be leaving Auckland 7am to Lower Hutt staying night there with my workmate family. Was advise and planing to catch early morning ferry to Picton on Thursday.. like to get to top of South Island maybe stay in Motueka first night and do west cost first. We got more then two weeks to do it so it should be enough time and leaving R1 at home ST 1100 will do the job. I got NZ motorcycle atlas to help me and few advises, taking tent and sleeping bags if we get stuck for accommodation. I have read some advices on KB,like taking you own tidedown's for ferry but if anyone got any other advise like what to take with me, what not to take, places to see, places not to go to, cheep accommodations or anything that will help me be much appreciated. I will have no excess to KB
no internet on ST1100 .
If any of you South Islanders or bikers down there see metallic blue ST1100 with distinctive visybike indicators on, heavily loaded and with small pillion at the back feel free to say hi.
I'm looking forward to it, ride on
