    Motorcycles boldly going where only Transpower (previously NZED) has gone before. John.
    Thanks NZED You are right John, especially the tracks I frequent in the north of the South Island. Molesworth, Rainbow, Porika, Breaburn, New Creek to Deniston, Jollies Pass to name but a few.

    Went to the top of the hill when I was early for the ferry last August.

    IIRC that was the first great road (of many since) you beat me to...

    With the right bike and the right tyres you can almost ride all the way out to the entrance to Tory channel. You can spend all day mucking round out there. Pick your tracks though, some of those tracks are very rough and steep.

    Thumbs up Loved it!

    New wee-strom in '06' took me over this top ride. Watched whales (2) from the top of the steep climb from the Bleinhem side. Your pictures are great. Cheers.
    When you take thousands of photos of your bike does the light from the flash weaken the plastic?
