Heads up for Kiwi guys
This might be worth a look if you're thinking about coming down and sampling the great SI roads this summer.
Great weather at that time of the year, Central Otago roads are just awesome, Bannockburn Pub is a very cool place and Tim Hanna as a publican has to be an excellent idea.
That place has the potential to be a Bikers Mecca if he turns out to be half as good a host as he is an author.
Anyway if you're not that keen on camping, PM me, we're about 35 min from Bannockburn and have a couple of spare rooms.
Cheers

Does Santa have to deliver on the up side first and then go home and install wheels on the sleigh, to deliver on the down side in the summer winter??
One thing I do know is...you can ski or ride a motorcycle 365 days a year...you just need to figure out how to get there.

Now, if I had put that up in the main board you would get all these young pups with 600's turning up and doing stunting stuff, and they would bring their friends with Gixxers and it would just be very annoying, cause they would be loud and they would dis me etc etc.
I try very hard not to let my prejudices show but sometimes I can just be a right grumpy old pr1ck.

All good and fine when you're in the office with the aircon going flat out but not quite so clever when you have to go and do some fieldwork.
S'all good, I guess one of the reasons we live here is that the seasons are so different; give it a few months, I'll be whinging about how fecking cold it is.

Grumpy old *****????????
I thought that was my job in the family you young upstart. Even if you do look like an old geezer in your daughter's graduation photo.
Same offer stands if any of you are in the North Island either in Hawkes Bay (east coast) or inthe winterless hahahahaha capital Wellington gateway to the South Island and some of the greatest bike roads anywhere.
Wish you all a merry christmas and a happy and safe new year.

Yeah bit toasty Steve, currently 10:40pm and just on 27 outside. It's kind of OK when you are just kicked back and relaxing but I have really struggled the last few days at work.
