Queen's Birthday South Island ADV Ride

[Trials Rider]

Another vid



Matt seemed to be crossing the river OK so I thought I would get the chopper, cool machine

[NordieBoy]

yeah I was thinking along those lines - that and a plastic bag over the exhaust you could push through that no problems

I bunged a rain-off glove over the muffler.

I reckon a roll of duct tape would be just the ticket, tape up the exhaust and intake, would work treat.

Two guys turned up in a Toyota Surf, hoped out, parked up, used a sat phone and then the helicopter, there is a lot of mine exploration going on so I will put two & two together and seven but I would say that's what it was.

OK now I will tell the truth, they heard about a bunch mad bastards trying to ride across a river deep enough to launch a boat.

Honest that's what really happened, ask any of the others

Hi there DR Girl

The South Island boys would probably expect me to say something like "Us Southies are as tough as nails..." but little do they know, I am actually from the backblocks of the North Island (Waikune National Park)

There are plenty of dedicated riders NZ wide happy to endure a bit of cold or wet weather all in the aim for a good ride maybe its just a case of the softies needing to take some advice from good old Chopper

The water wasn't really that cold.


Anyway a good pee warms things up a treat.
