NZKTM shows off the North Island of New Zealand - Video link

**Waihou Thumper** · 6th January 2011, 15:05

I thought I might show you some of New Zealand, in particular, the North Island and around Waikato and the lower half .....
I know there are lot of talented guys on here with video editing..
I have posted some views of my rides lately and want to share them with everyone. I will be updating this thread as time goes by and I also have a little bit of blurb with the video...
Some may ask, why aren't you posting on YouTube? Well, the reason being is on Vimeo I can still have my own music....So, don't watch the video, turn up the stereo and listen to some old sounds...
Here is the first instalment.........

I took the opportunity of the great weather and went up the hill.....
Tukino ski-field has to be a stunning road for a motorcycle.....It has creek crossings, sand and huge ruts and craters for the unaware.....AND at the same time you can hit speeds of over 120kph, but be prepared to brake frequently and keep your eye on the track.....

Is that some JJ Cale on the second clip? Been a while since I've heard that.

Sure is.....I like to edit music into the videos, sometimes of what I am listening to at the time of riding..

This is a compilation of various rides I have done over the years on my bikes. It features New Zealand roads and trails and some spectacular scenery.
I belong to a forum called Kiwibiker, a forum specialising in Motorcycles, riding and like minded individuals that love the thrills of two wheels and sometimes 4. The site can be found at kiwibiker.co.nz
I hope you enjoy the videos.
Any comments and feedback are welcomed. I am trying to develop my video and Photography skills at the same time as my riding skills.
