As Chanceyy said, all flavours and sizes from 250's up, with cruisers, tourers and sprotties.

As for numb arse....it's a cruisy ride with enough nice roads and opportunity for stops to alleviate this. I don't recall any complaints last year.

Was hoping to be heading down to the south Island for a tiki tour but work commitments seem to have scuppered that for the moment. May just have to contemplate this one to ease the pain.

You'd enjoy it Kenny, it's your kind of day out. Plenty of riding as well as plenty of time to shoot the breeze.

We after much deliberation I have decided to do this again. ...But I will take the hyosung 250. I have a couple of spare beds here if anyone needs a place to stay near the start line and secure garage too. PM me if you want a bed for the weekend.

I've done my vote thing to get it out of the way and heard that 30/10 might be a significant day to NZ Sturgis attendees.

Here's to adding an FJR to the list! Just hope that USofA tyres (or is that tires) are built to handle Fields Track, SH41 & the Forgotten Highway.

Whats a `blingy few bits' ?????

a change to one or two bits from standard or xtra's

Also have room here and a huge garage to store ya bikes and Im only 5mins ride from the meeting point This will be my first decent ride on a bigger bike as my last bike was a 1982 CX500 shadow....slow but fun to ride had custom BMW fairings on it so made it unique.
