Welcome to South Island. You must be talking about NASS for new/ learner riders. Unfortunately Canterbury riders go into hybernation in winter

I regularly enjoy riding up and down Cashmere upto the Sign of Kiwi and about. When you see a blue bike that way, give me a wave.

Hey EJK , been waving at you last few weekends :-)

I will be selling my car so my missus can get one and I can get a bike again. It will be all I use to get around, come hell or high water haha. Will def be keen to get a ride or something started up as I don't want to waste those beautiful calm sunny winter mornings on the weekends.

Once the Skull Candy earphone go in and helmet on I can't hear much even my own horn which is about 115db.
And yes I can still hear Emergency Vehicles just not much else.

You should buy a bike that sounds better

You are too high on the smell of 2stroke oil to notice what anything sounds like aren't you?? How goes it and where and how have you been since ?????

Sounds good. Could make this one for Saturday 11th May, doing our usual via Waikari and Scargill Valley. As it will be daylight both ways we could do Scargill Valley on the way back too.
