What time was that? We arrived at Picton about 3pm so went by the fords probably about 2. Don't recall them being as covered as that

hi guys and girls , did the danseys pass this year on my 1250 BANDIT , no sign of the 10 foot snow driftsthat was rumoured to be in the pass, it was a great ride ,we ( the group of riders )worked as a team and helped each other out if someone got into trouble , the worst being dropping the bike in the snow . dont believe what you read in the papers as it was not that bad , the two guys i was with for the last section of the ride decided to camp about 2 ks from the pub , i forged on and got to the pub as we wanted to get to the brass , but as luck would have it the bike was too low on fuel to get to the monkey so we were forced to camp in ranfurly in the cabin that is booked each year for situations like we were in . so as you see it was quite an adventure for the experienced riders that did it , and then there was the guys that went past on the trail bikes with full knobbeys that did it easy !! thats another story ! , to the guy with the indian chief as the clutch had gone and well i hope all turned out okay , and the ducati rider whos bike decided to just get to hot and stop and well he beat me to the pub , that all turnred out good !, the best bike that was there was a1938 bsa 500 single who just did it easy , well it looked easy ! i wouldnt have missed this ride for anything in the world as it was an adventure of a lifetime !!!, but maybe not next year ?or will i
