Let me think? ...... Yeah now I remember, we were coming down Lees Valley Road and then Okuku River Road and the Okuku had two or three branches in the riverbed. They looked easier as they were. Near the finish line Pete decided to do a small turn for the spectators.


Naw, I just saw the big rock there and the inner voice said : Go For It! :whistle:

A day on the Golden Bay and Cape Farewell.

A front yard sized rockgarden version of the local topography, crinkled and sharply ridged

Helping hand by the MotoCamp manager, pointing out the best spots around the top of the South Island.

Yeah I've recovered from the shame of this epic bin and am back!

Sorry guys, was away in Thailand getting my teeth patched up over Christmas and New Years and then into work so excuse my absence from this thread. Will make some after the fact comments and posts over the next few days. As you can see it was an epic trip.

On this corner I was going fine coming into the corner until the "Please slow down" sign got me target fixated, I shat myself, and the rest is history.

Mate, no shame at all in a stunt of that caliber, a true stand-out performance :smilie-wave: :icon-guffaw-::icon-guffaw-:



Happy with the Thai dental work so far? (just in case anyone asks....that pretzeler and the dental stuff are not connected!)

Good to see you back on the boards.

Those were the last of Ant's pics I've got, most of his shots from here on are already in the thread/ relevant days.

Man....what a trip those 3 weeks turned out :clap::clap::clap:
