A little taste of America.....

Epic pictures dude. That bridge up thru the autumn tree landscape is just awesome. Wait, you call Autumn "Fall" dont you?, that's what we call it when Dover gets on a bike.

hehe, already been to NZ mate. Made a huge mistake and fell in love with the place.

silly you then... though we do still have some nice twisty roads to ride...

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

hehe, yeah I noticed. During my six months in NZ I was always thinking "wouldnt this road trip be great on a bike"?...........But the states do have TONS of curvy roads. Its just that you tourists from NZ always stick to the interstate highways and think those are the roads Americans travel LOL. Those are the roads Americans travel to go BIG distances......which is why they are called inter-state highways........but for everything else we really do have twisities.

Every time I hear people like Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear talking about how America doesnt have corners I just sit back and laugh.

But anyway, when I get back to christchurch the first thing Im gonna do is buy a motorcycle......Im not sure if Im even gonna get a car straight away. Hell, if all goes well I might just not need anything but a motorcycle.....especially with the weather in Christchurch. The only place better for a motorcycle would be the Nelson area.....but thats yet another great thing about NZ = I can get from ChCh to Nelson in no time!!.... Im gonna love that!

Here in my part of North Carolina we actually get snow in the winter so people tend to put away their bikes for about 3-4 months out of the year. Sucks. But it does make the first day you take your bike out after winter, usually sometime in March-April-May a pretty special day!!!

The whole SI is a treasure map of twisty roads, you just got to get of state highway 1. Oh and the canterbury plains. BTW ChCH can get snow as well...

NE way hope you enjoy your stay.

Whereabouts are you from? I lived in Morrisville, NC for quite a few years, and those were the years of the best weather I've seen (Isabel excluded). We had really crappy weather (meaning freezing rain/snow) for at most 3 - 4 days a year.
