    Thx for the vid mates. Glad you could see a peace of the true NZ. a Fact was mentioned: pies are ok. NZ does not have very good pies. They lack behind the world. NZ is an awesome place. Sooo many good KIWIS, true people with good intentions and a good heart, and beautiful places to discover. I am an immigrant from RSA. Being here for 15 years. In another 15 years, I might be considered to be a KIWI. LOL. Luckily, it only rains here now and then...Pinocchio!!! There is sooo much to see and experience in NZ. Outside of AKL, life begins. a Wonderful land full of opportunities. Aotearoa, the Land of the long White cloud. GO NZ!!!!

    That was epic and worth a thumbs up! . The drone footage was right up there with MDBs, say gidday to Danny for us mate. The South Island is a very pretty little Island. Hope you liked Christchurch, we had to rebuild it a while ago due to a couple of big shake ups and most of us here in the south think it`s a vastly improved modern and great looking town. The North Island is just as interesting and you`de be welcomed back for that tour. Ride safe.

    We have all this beautiful scenery in the United States and Canada as well. Every summer I ride around North America, mostly U.S. and visit and camp and motel for at least 3 months. This year I took my Son who rides but was able to get 6 week vacation from work. The great thing about the US is there is so much more. I liked New Zealand but it was so small over quickly and cost a fortune. My experiences in Australia as well as Africa and South America on motorcycles were very good. Just need to know where to go.
