I finally met Joe in person yesterday after flying to West Virginia - after a year of so arranging things online.

After yesterday sorting out luggage, setting the GPS up and with Joe's help planning a nice route to BikeFest in Pennsylvania, I spent the first day riding his bike today, and will post a thread elsewhere once I am organised. Thanks Joe for your country hospitality - and it was fab seeing the brill photo's of your NZ trip - I could see your grin getting bigger and bigger while recalling your adventure!

You should tell him to come back and cover some of the roads he missed the first time round...

Yes, every time I think of the NZ tour I do smile. Even though I could not keep up with the Ducatis. Payback is hell though, Pete will have me ST for 6 weeks!!
I hope he enjoys mine as much as I enjoyed the Orient Express. I'm shopping hard for dual sport.

Highlander, if I return I will call you for another guided tour.
