Thought I'd rub it in.

Today I rode to Mapua from Picton.

But I went via Keneperu Sound and Collingwood. I took some pictures.

The road out to Portage is bumpy but fun. Quite winding. It's very similar to Queen Charlotte Drive. The seal ends not too far past Portage. I turn around there.

Takaka hill is always good fun. Made it as far as Collingwood and then came back to Mapua.

Can't be bothered putting the pictures up on KB, so just look at them here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...5&id=696495759

Good for you - and thats a nice ride you did today!

Ha yourself
holidays? ... just back and recovering
not only rode a harley down bitsa what's left of route 66 but, courtesy of a wayside lunchbar encounter with a bad batch of chilli, i actually vomited over merikan motorists across two states ....

so who's the proper biker NOW, eh?? i mean - vomiting over peops? from a harley? along the mother-road? i think i've earned my tassles!!

ps - can anyone tell me what the correct Biker hand signal is for "sorry mate, i've just upchucked over your back fender" ??

pps - allowing for airflow and its tendency to make one get one's own back throwing up in an open-face helmet is almost as nasty as throwing up in a full-face ... *sigh*

The "Marble Mountain" to Takaka and beyond, is always good fun. Are you going further south... Hope saddle, St Arnaud, Buller Gorge maybe ???

You have to get off and dance like this:

There are times, when hand signals... or words (if capable of speech) are superfluous...

But I went via Keneperu Sound and Collingwood. I took some pictures.

I did that road last February, just before hoping on the ferry. One of the best ride I've done this year! I am NOT jealous!

Seriously, enjoy your trip
