yeah i went at 50k/hr not 100 as you dont want to labour your engines for such a long time, at least put fresh oil in them before you set out!

I'm more sceptical of this H100S Super to be honest. Described by every person I've talked to about it as "unreliable, full stop". :P

rather, i'm not as frighteningly skinny as you

cheers, hopefully that shouldn't be the case! PM me your number and I'll put it on the list

We need beds/couches/floor space/shelter in wellington!

problem being the ferry wont get us there until 1:35 AM, on a weeknight.

either that or a place to stay in picton, and we catch the 6:25AM ferry

Pshh, thus speaks the man who couldn't hold a 59hp bike on the road, so had to get a nice learner-friendly RVF.

Anyway, back to the main point. I think me godparents still like down in Welly somewhere, but I'd rather not rock up to their door at 2am with a long-haired bloke, lest my reputation reach all new lows.

C'mon Wellingtonians, we come bearing alcohol!

it got stolen!

anyways, i'm not the one who feels so inferior he has to kit out his vfr with obscenely loud carbon exhausts

ANYWAY, the problem with the morning ferry is if we miss it, the next one arrives at 1pm

Only after you threw it off the road into ditches and power pole plantations - TWICE!

And as I recall, you were going to buy a filthy red and chrome one instead, 'cept ye were too poor!

The problem with catching any ferry the next day is it'll be throwing our itinery right off already. Even catching the morning ferry, we'd be looking at staying around Masterton I guess? Maybe Palmy North if we push it (Oooo, throw the bikes over the fence and do a few laps of Manfeild I reckon!).
