Will be sticking to gravel routes mostly = less loopies in cars out to spoil my fun.

+1 then back to Chch via the Rainbow with wifey and gear on the 5th (I'm allowed 1 day of rest before I get a sore arse again).

I'll look out for ya....thou.....I have absolutly no idea wot the fuck yoall looks like....

A full left arm wave. Usually give other adventures a good wave. Alternatively just look out for a blue Super Ten (twin head lights). Good chance it will either be bro or I as not many S10's about.

Oh look another one who didn't read the question correctly or can't tell his wheres from his whats. Also noted is that judging by the bikes listed in their profiles both the confused ones are black top riders. I wonder if that's a trend showing up.

Well, looks like I'm heading west in the morning then south toward and eventually through Haast, Wanaka give or take and I expect to go back up past Tekapo on the way home in time to prep the bike for the Dusty Butt run in Nelson then back down to Chch in time for work on the 5th

Heading off around 1st Jan for a ride up the East Coast from Whangarei to the cape, down the west coast as far as Dargaville then back to Whangarei, doing as much beach, gravel, non-roads and coastal roads as possible over about 4 days. Will try to track the route and post some pics. Just me on the XR6 and son Matt on his XL250Degree - should be a great adventure

Also off to 'The Farm' tomorrow for a bit of off-roading with Matt and some of his mates - always a great time out there. It's his 21st so we'll be out there all afternoon and evening.

Have a great time everyone...

Boxing Day trip: Timaru - McKenzie Pass - Haka Pass/Valley - Dansey's Pass pub for lunch (they didn't stint on the ham in the ham/cheese/tomato toasted sandwich) - back to Timaru. Cuppa (plus ham sandwich - it is Xmas, after all) with the folks and back home to Chch. Stunningly fine weather; suitably bug-splattered in bike and body. Spent yesterday fishing the Clarence (by 4WD, sorry) and saw half a dozen or so dusty bikes heading to/in Hanmer Springs. I can see a collapsible spinning rod, the TDM and the Harper end of Coleridge in the very near future, possibly Lake Taylor, and into Erewhon. Summer breaks, dusty roads and mountain views, gotta love 'em. And now, the lawns....
