thats an INCREDIBLY good ride.

But the Catlins is good too.

If we come down to Dunners on 85 we can get to Bluff via Catlins on Thursday.

Suggested Catlins Route/ Photo ops HDC?

Not HDC,
However after Pig Root etc head from Alexandra down the Clutha river (on the road hopefully!) to Beaumont, veer right and carry on down the river to Riviera of the South.
Again, turn right and head south on the main drag until you see signs saying 'Invercargill via Catlins Scenic Route' or similar, turn left this time, carry on out of town and do as the sign said.

Viola' you'll be at Invervegas. (And I won't, cos work, the curse of the drinking man, is taking up my time this weekend)

I like that Scummy, and your work would be the curse of all other drinking men too lol

...... if you catch them that is.

Dave - where is the 'motorcycle' in Christchurch if one desires a perve before you hit the road?

I look at the pictures and think "WTF is wrong with Americans...." but then maybe I'm really wrong and I should check it out in the flesh.

At a private address unfortunately. Maybe we can park it in town for a while on the return trip.

I look at it and see hot rod x caddy. It's been fitted with 'shotgun' pipes too.

Dang, nice piccies there of some of the action, the Britten shot was primo!

Sorry but that Victory has to be the ugliest motorcycle I have ever set eyes upon!

Maybe the proof of the pudding is in the eating but it is not a good visual experience for me!
