Chanceyy’s excellent South Island adventure

[Trudes]

Well done you!!! Wicked nice photos too! Glad you had a great time and made it home safe and sound!

[chanceyy]

Great story,neat to read others' trips,can use info for own rides etc,shame about the petrol range,nice background sky showing in pics,must be summer coming SOON.

cheers tony hmm hopefully petrol range will be sorted soon, Betsy is in mechanics to get seals around power valves sorted (oil splatter) & pipes decoked which should make her slightly more fuel efficient

fingers crossed

nah not boring at all! And next time you are in town, theres always a spare bed here if ya need it. Was very cool having the RZ along on the Akaroa GP, and you were doing well riding it, goddamn does she smoke when she wants too!

Cheers for that ... & come on you love that two stroke smoke .. Betsy just wanted to make sure you remember wot it smelt like since ya was not on yours

you would absolutely love that road its in great condition .. just pity bout the number of cars .. but with the number of bikes I think some were intimidated to move over & let us pass without to much hassle .. then of course you get one who has to break hard on the apex of every corner

Great read,glad you enjoyed it.Those Hundaless are awsome eh,spent many hours riding em when a young fella although they have taken a few good bits like the Hawkswood S bends away which is kinda sad.

let us know when ya ready Carmen .. am sure barry & I will come with ya ... I remember those first nervous outtings very well & if Barry is on the boat I will come keep ya company for sure

Betsy just wanted to make sure you remember wot it smelt like since ya was not on yours

Ahh but the difference being we use AVgas and fully syn oil, the smoke and smell is so different... but riding with you and the smell of your mix along with Jonny and the classic Kawa's and RD's that were out it was like a real through back in time, on departure from Akaroa the road ahead was one big smoke trail... awesome.

Speaking of awesome, reckon your effort was just that and equally an awesome effort for the old RZ a 25yr old stroker to have ran with out a hicup, bloody mint Chanceyy and Betsyy
