    Piece of wees.
    I rode from Hamiltown to Chch in two days (break at Wellytown) and Chch to Tauranga in two days (break at Wellytown again), with no problems at all. (It was on a VF500, but the cc-age doesn't make that much difference, as I was mostly not hooning).
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Have you got some tie-downs for the ferry crossing? Not that you absolutely need some of your own as the Interislander's do provide them.

    Sounds like a nice plan. Make sure to pop in along the way to say Hi
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    No worries, if you are comfprtable on the bike just do it.

    One tip... pack what you need to take with you then devide the amount of stuff by 2. Most people take way too much the first time they go away.
    Motorbike only search
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - CRC AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE CRC. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
