Hi Sparrow

For places to ride check out my site: http://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/ There's some good roads just over the hill in the Wairarapa and I have a few of them shown on my site.

You should also hook up with the Wellington guys as most of their days rides are in the Wairarapa.

thanks eddieb,
I have just been there and it's a well set up site
but now am more after people who would be keen to get out there with me and try these out...
not keen to get off roading on my own yet as I have no off road experience so worried if something happens on my own... I wouldn't know what to do lol.

Hi Sparrow - you sound like a sensible man - not venturing too far off road by yourself

What Eddie said above - his site and 'Wellington Ride Outs - where to next' threads on this site and Adventure Rider under New Zealand - advrider.com

Look forward to making your acquaintance soon - cheers Aslan

Gday Sparrow, Your not to far from that Adventurous lot that lurk in the Hawkes Bay Area either. I get down to Palmy now and then on my beastie to see my daughter (One of those Uni Students that are always bleating poverty but always have money for parties) Happy to catch up one day anyway. HB has a huge network of back roads just made for Adv bikes.

Still trying to move on with the project, having to make new injector holders stronger better first attempt ended up in the bin second is going better. Road riding now ruffy rego on hold need to find a new low beam for the 1150 light apparently its a RH drive new guy at testing station noticed it its only had half a dozen wofs like it there.

I'm often bashing about on the V-Strom. Nothing too serious, just gravel roads etc. Also go for a run with a decent month generally once a month.
