Attention Southern KB venture riders.(and interested Northerners)

A somewhat dainty way of holding camera there....

I wondered what the hell you were on about until I opened the pic and looked in the rear vision mirror. (lol)

Pretty pinkies there Keith! Cheers John.

DAYUM! John, some of those off-road riding pics look more than a little 'challenging'. I've never done THAT sort of riding before, ever. S'pose you would call me a sealed road [only] ... poofter-type o' geezer.

Be gentle with me when I get down your way, the worsestest surface that I have ever negotiated was up in NI back in January (sse attachment) and now, upon reflection, that looks kinda tame by comparison to what I might be letting myself in for come January + March '07 (gulp!):

That's the beauty of the South Island. No matter where you want to go there is a variety of road types to get you there. You chose the route that takes you on roads that you are happy with.

Yes and Jantar is right, given the right conditions of the day and you can ride them on a sports bike with road tyres but then conditions change so quickly sometimes that they can become impassable in an instant.
It doesn't pay to take unnecessary risks with dear old mother nature anywhere in NZ.
That has been my experience anyway and a lot of it learned the hard way too. (slow learner ) Cheers John.
