Good to see you still enjoying Mexico - I had expected to meet you at home now. Jill and I are staying for the second night in Wanaka. We are near the end of a 12000km tour of NZ, and then it is back to Aus.
I brought my Sportster across from Aus, and Jill had intended to as well. But we Got Routed, when the shipper changed the shipping arrangements and refused to refund the deposit that we had paid.
We ended up buying a 400 Honda for Jill, and it has been reliable enough, but whoever said that you do not need big bikes in NZ was kidding themselves! NZ is awash now with lumbering campervans, driven by people who fail to realise that they are driving a truck instead of their Audi.
With enough power (say 1200cc), I dont give a stuff: but poor Jill, creeping along behind.....
And she swears! Never knew that before we had intercoms!
Ride safe!
