This is my 7th motorcycle tour in New Zealand. It’s one of my favourite places in the world. For this ride I am returning to the South Island (Te Waipounamu). The South arguably has the best scenery although personally I think the North Island is right up there and has […]

This year my Norway tour more or less completed my ride bucket list. However I previously crossed off a couple of rides due to cost or being unsure they would provide the kind of riding I enjoy. I don’t feel any need to add another pin to my countries ridden […]
