    Motorcycle "Rallys" that are not organised by motorcycle clubs seldom do well. Regardless of their location.

    I fucking hate camping !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    I ended up at Mt Cook a couple of months ago, stayed at the Hermitage which is a couple of levels up from tenting. If I stayed at the backpackers I would definitely try and con my way in to their all you can eat buffet breakfast. Legendary.

    As good as the ride is to Mt Cook ... apart from the camper vans, cops, and wind ... and more camper vans. You need to pick your days to go.

    Weekends are not those days. Too many of all the above ...
