Crikey - there are loads of riders up in Tasman. you can even get a Mentor up that way. (Nearest KB Mentor to Southland is 2 hours hard riding away.)

Is it just me or have there been a few people that have mistaken Southland for Southern or South Island? Just looking at the membership for the group and seeing a coupla northeners from Dunedin or thereabouts

Big loads of riders headed south past Chez Scumdog today at about 10-11am and then headed back up the road late afternoon, they SEEMED to have been coming from the Catlins direction when I saw then, may well have been coming back up from Southland region - any idea who/what they were?? (like what riding group?)

Delhpinus was down that route today.Would have been around that time too. I wonder who else was with him? I went out for a ride - was gonna meet them but got as far as Mataura and turned back for a number of reasons (bike pissing oil, Jez had woken up and wanted to come out for a blat, Wife wanted me to have a picnic with the family etc.)

I need a new gasket for the left hand engine casing.

well i tried embedding a map of where i ended up riding today ... but couldnt get it to work proper like >.<

so heres a link for it instead

i was actually intending to go to Clifden then down to Tuatapere ... but im glad i didnt, that wee back road was good fun, and there was no one else on it

Good route Jez, I tend to forget about Western Southland but there are good roads over there.

In the meantime sounds like we need to get a few tubes of araldite around to McJim to seal up that oil leak.

i love Western Southland ... the further west the better, but alot of where i want to go wont be suitable for any road bike, in fact itd be tough on most off road bikes as well ... hell with it, get some good boots and a rifle and ill show you where im talking about
