    Its all sealed now. We rode thru there after Pissed Penguin and there were a few places to be sealed. VTR loved it, 2nd gear wheel spinning, had to keep stoping so me mate on FJR could catch up.Its a great ride. Papatowai would be go good stopover. At Golden Bay stay at Pohara Beach Camp. Dont stay at one about 2 km north of Mussel Inn as they ripped me off for $24 for me and me HOG for 1 night in a tent and then had to pay .50c for 5 mins hot water in the shower. I would have normally told the old bag to go fuck herself but it was pissing down and didnt want to ride any more. When leaving Motueka take the west bank down the river as its a bit more scenic. Turn off is 5 mins north of town. Cheers Toddy.

    That being looking at maps, while drinking whisky (or your favourite beverage)?

    Remember to recheck the route you thought sounded great at 1am the previous night....

    MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    And we could hire Multistradas and ride naked, and force Italian villagers to decide which is uglier: Ugly Naked Jim, or the Multistrada!

    Blackball

    We staid at the Blackball Hilton for a night during our trip. It was pretty good except for saggy bed and sore back in the morning. Food was great - delicious, locally made sausages, mmmmmmmm.

    Here are some images of some of the places we staid including Blackball and Makaroa which I mentioned in an earlier post.

    Makarora is a great place, cheap jet boat rides too.....

    I'm sorry I'll be missing out on the f(a)un, but myself and Jim2 will be on a "naturalist" (what a wonderful euphemism...) tour of Italy.....
