Mainly on sealed roads with 3 days of soft adventure riding, Molesworth, Nevis and Hakataramea. There are 3 of us on a 1250 GS, V-strom 800 and me on the R1. I was going to buy or borrow an adv for the trip, but decided to bring the R1 instead as it enjoys the SI and I can do some good rides on the adv days.
Arrived in Blenheim yesterday after a very pleasant crossing on the Livia. It was one of those good days in Wellington, and just a slight swell after leaving the harbour.

Don't you look at my accountant.

I've done them both in the 4x4. It was an amazing day and a half of driving, with an overnight stay camping at Lake Tennyson for New Year's Eve. I definitely plan to do it again on two wheels sometime. Especially now that I have my late father's KLR650 in the garage.Originally Posted by F5 Dave

In the riders seat
Rainbow is the better ride of the two and at the St Arnaud end the Porika track is not far away

I have coffee table book (from my late father) of Molesworth, but yes want to overnight Hammer and do both. Will look up Porika. Must look up some mates in St Arnaud as they were building but never have spare time when passing through.

Its so easy to do both Rainbow and Molesworth .If you want something a little milder do the Braeburn from St Arnaud to Murchison as a gateway to the west coast. Can Camp in the Molesworth at lake tennyson or cold water creek in the Rainbow or of course overnight at Hanmer The rainbow has a couple of fords and a couple of creek crossings. Conditions can change very quickly there if it rains

I'm glad I wasn't on the bike when we met this guy in the middle of the road!
