Glen and I are going to do a South Island stint in March with our best mates Tig and Marianne Martin. Obviously we’ll post a page on our trip later. In the meantime this is a post on our last trip in March 2007. OK it’s a long time ago but it’s worth recording. It was our first long trip and on our first bike after about 20 years out of the saddle.
We rode with Tig and Marianne down to Wellington. They couldn’t join us in the South Island so we completed the trip alone.
This post is just a few photos without much comment, just to whet our appetite for March. <Click on any photo for an enlarged gallery>

Doing last minute refinements to the Harley to keep up with Mad Max on the upcoming South Island trip! We are looking forward to it.
I’m a man of moderation in all things, except moderation. Should be a great trip. Hopefully the weather is OK
