Hey Guys, good to hear from you again! While you were overseas we (wife Jill and I) did actually pass through Wanaka on tour of NZ. I brought my HD Sporty across from Aus, and our friend Allistair Meikle from Gore arranged a Honda 400 for Jill. Jill also has a Sportster, which she needs for work, and was intending to bring it also to NZ.
But we made a mistake and engaged a shipper called Get Routed! And that would have kept both bikes out of Australia for 5 months. This "organiser" had his own program after he had our money. So we had to settle for the Honda for Jill.
But I still had my HarleyBoy! Toured 16000km and still did not see all of NZ, but did ride the Piano Flat cattle trail, and Skippers Canyon!
A 4WD driver at the top of that canyon said "I've been driving this canyon for 30 years and I never expected to see a Harley come up that hill!".
73 year old rider, heavy motorbike, loaded down with touring gear - what could possibly go wrong!?
