I look forward to many more days like this, and meeting you guys out on the open roads.

Welcome Stuart, and nice bike. Been here (NZ) 22yrs now. You havent 'started yet' mate, seriously. I know there are some awesome roads up round the 'tron, but wait till you come down to the Wairarapa and the 'Taka's. Then once you've cut your teeth up here, I have to agree with 98tls, I lived down South for 14 yrs, and even having ridden through Europe and lived in the UK, I have never experienced biking like the South... the roads are just awesome, especially when you know the area and can start using the 'local's routes going places'. In 1992 when my Beemer arrived from the UK, I had to ride from Dunedin to Inver's... My wife told me I was like a boy with a new toy. all I could go on about was I only passed 5 or 6 cars in a 2.5hr ride.... As much as I love the riding up here ('rapa etc) when you ride to Milford Sound, through central Otago, even the scenic route to Te Anau or to Queenstown, it's just bloody awesome!

Took some doing I am sure you can appreciate!
