the above picture was taken on the way to Knob's flat and after 2 weeks on the thumper I knew exactly what they meant.

It was a good bike for all the gravel roads.

Will put some more photo's up when I find them on Photobucket

Mountains and mist and I just come over all emo, wasn't anything to do with the GS I'll tell you that for nothing

Nice write up and pics, never realised NZ had mountains!

[Spud]

Highest is over 12ooo feet, the mountains run mainly down the west coast and it fairly flat on the east coast, that's why it's full of "Jock's", lot's of Scottish names for roads and area's. Great place for a holiday hence the mileage done on the South Island alone. The place is about the size of the UK but with about 4 million Kiwi's in it. You can go for hours without seeing anyone 

Glad you enjoyed the shots Sin

cheers Spud

Deceptively good little bike,  you could rag it everywhere and still get 65mpg, just could've done with another 10bhp
