    Ridden to Stewart Island from WHERE????

    I wouldn't worry about going onto the island for a ride - a tank of fuel would give you a weeks riding over every road three times- there is not a whole lot of road on the island.!!!!

    I just went over on the catamaran a fews years ago and walked around over there. Only got the shuttle bus to drop us back to the motel when we had late nights out. I think all up there are something like 14km of roads over there - a scooter maybe, any bike larger it would be frustrating I would say, though I know people do take their bikes over there.
    Cheers

    Once when there I saw a V-Max parked up at the wharf area with the keys still in it - I guess no worries about bike theft THERE eh?

    Who would want to steal a V MAX though?

    Use your imagination SD.
    He obviously can't go across the strait.
    He'll just have to ride around the other way.
