Gotta love the southern alps.
Gotta love the southern alps.
decided to do a wee round the mountain run.
stopped for the oligitory smoke break at Opunake...
Despite having the numbers, there is always a crazy man in the mountains that none of the tribes will go near! Always aim to be that man.
yea mate, bought it last year in anticipation of not being a sport bike rider, due to my lacking in the built like an italian pimp department! passed my full test last week so it has been touring all over the Naki this week.
it is in midchange at the moment so it looks a little shabby but all the bits are slowly turning up for it...

Thread's slowing, so here's a prod.
Running in the Tuono out to Akaroa plus another from a while ago. The now old RSV4, ZX14 and a mate on his ZX10
Took a weekend trip down to Wangavegas. Rode through the night to avoid the heavy rain, which was partially successful most of the trip, and landed there 3am. Not much to see.
Return trip I went up over the Desert Road, not having ridden it since my last Kiwi, not sure which year, but it was at the old six cross.
The mountain was splendid, clear blue skies, almost not traffic until past Taupo.
The first part of the trip was just sublime, the way it should always be.
Then I hit AK traffic building up for rush hour. nuff said.
Pic taken Taupo waterfront back towards the mountains, stopped for coffee.
Did you try the hole in one golf raft?

Nah Bro, I did my usual trick of leaving home without enough dosh to actually get home again. Had to ferret in the bottom of the tank bag for coinage for the coffee (priorities right?)
Thankfully my fortnightly salary went in at noon so I could continue on my way.
Hmmm....maybe I could get a helmet cam detailing such a trip. Gotta be good for at least three utube episodes huh? Reviewing the latest greatest windscreen, or go fast mod should fill up another half an our of bandwidth.
