Great to hear! its our holiday next monday,Queens birthday or something! (thanks mrs queen great to be of the commonwealth!) :-)
one things for sure, those sports bikes dont look comfy compared to harleys!
if it was warmer here, Id buy myself a motorcycle,and cruise around NZs twisty roads! there are some 50km/h corners on main highways(which are 100km/h rated)! 1 lane highways for 500km with 5passing lanes!
Gota watch out for the highway patrol though,are cops are more interested in getting speeding revenue than catching crims! (they have quotas to reach /hr )
its hard to find a 2km long straight stretch :-P
