You need to throw a via or two in there...Chch to ...Chch....via Takaka and...um... Bluff....
"Oh that sounds like a nice holiday... how many days will you take?"
About.....1 1/2
As for lights...the more the better. Std lights plus 2 x 35W HID "Fog" lamps
The joys of solo night time rides...sigh....like 2.30 am riding out from Milford on a foggy night....not sure who got the biggest scare, me of the young stag that belted out of the bush in front of me.
Turning lights off, pfff...I hope no one else ever experiences riding a brand new and somewhat more powerful bike than the one you just traded in....at night for the first time....that has the kill switch where the dip switch was. In my mind I flicked the lights to high beam, but the motor died instead. Realizing my error, I flicked the kill switch back on....with a 1/2 open throttle....then every things got dark and exciting all at once when the front wheel went skyward, along with the light beam (It needs something to shineon and the road was not up there)....and my throttle hand let go of the grip because it was ill prepared for the other jerk while it flicked the kill switch back on.
With no throttle the power dropped off and the front came down quick and the lights came back on...but the other hand...the one still holding the left grip...had pulled the front wheel around...I still shiver when I recall the violence of the wobble....
