sth NZ tour Feb 2010
My daughter moved to Dunedin in June and I am planning a 4 week visit in February. My flights are booked to Christchurch as this seemed to be the ideal place to hire a bike and start a tour rather than Dunedin.
As I'm quite short I'll probably end up hiring a BMW 650GS Single or Twin with a low seat. Getting my own bike shipped over seems like hard work and wouldn't cost much less than hiring a bike.
My daughter has passed the first restricted license test and hopes to buy a bike before I arrive so she doesn't have to go pillion but it doesn't matter if she does as I am used to it.
My daughter has toured the south before but I haven't been at all.
I have numerous guide books but what I'm really looking for from HUBB members is recommendations of doing something or going somewhere that isn't on the usual tourist route. Especially if there are some wonderful biking roads not to be missed. We'll probably camp or stay in hostels.
