Kia Ora Triple NZ from across the ditch.

You really have some fantastic and spectacular country side to ride through and enjoy and you've picked the right machines to do it on. 🙂

My better half and I are in the process of arranging a push bike ride from Mt. Cook to Oamaru (Alps to Ocean) around 320kms in late April - getting cool around that time?  Really looking forward to it as the scenery in that part of NZ is pretty special as you would no doubt know.

Would love one day to motorcycle around your neck of the woods in the North Island.  I believe that the Bay of Islands region is a 'top of the list' area to visit.

Let us know what your wife thinks of the SP?

Hi there yes that will be an awesome scenic ride and yeah late April will be cooling off big time . Hopefully dry for your ride we should have run out of rain by then it’s been hosing down here for weeks !! Bay of islands is good but very busy roads now . We prefer central north island around the mountains with a bit less traffic . Alison is loving the SP already . Cheers Neil
