South Island Trip Day 1

The first day on holiday is always a hard one. We where tired after working so hard. This was a day of strait roads and bad moods, but we got some footage. Day 2 is much happier, i promise. lol

Nice roads, nice weather and no shakes so far. Fantastic trip guys. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@abritablondeabike]

Thanks Volgnit. It was an epic trip. The footage gets progressively better as the trip goes on as well. 🖒

Great video you too, I've got New Zealand on my bucket list and this video just makes me more determined to get down there. Looking forward to the rest of the trip.

So looking forward to this, looks amazing. Is the snow on the mountain tops all year round? Oh and thanks you two for taking us along.

[@garysmythe9545]

Great video thanks guys. Particularly like the mix with pillion views from Kim's Cam - nice touch. Must say wasn't aware of sea bed rising - had to replay that part of the video just to take that on board !! Looking forward to the next update - keep them coming. Take care

[@abritablondeabike]

Yea it's unbelievable. All the boats are in the port surrounded by huge rocks.

Always nice to see a Honda Pan European! Great video guys! I power the GoPro and GP10 using my Anker powerbank for all day videoing. Looking-glass forward to seeing the rest of the series. Ride safe.

[@abritablondeabike]

Yea I have a similar set up. just haven't figured out where to put my power bank. 🖒

[@ThomasOzOsburn]

Great video. Would love to ride in the southern hemisphere.

[@abritablondeabike]

Thanks mate. 🖒

[@fdlpodcasting]

You two really seem to enjoy your Versys! I'm torn right now between the Versys and the Tenere. Keep up your video blogs! I know it is time consuming, it's obvious you enjoy it! ;)

[@abritablondeabike]

Hi Rob. Yea we do enjoy it thanks. The Versys is pretty good but no bikes perfect. It's pretty close though.

[@OldManTony]

Nice video, glad to hear you didn't have any personal issues with the earthquake, ironically it sounds like it has made the trip more interesting.

[@abritablondeabike]

Thanks Tony. yea it did make it more exciting. And we did feel some pretty big quakes where we stayed the first few nights.

[@redbitter1232]

The first rule of moto-vlogging: You can never have enough go-pro batteries. lol

[@abritablondeabike]

It took me 5 years to get round to buying second batteries. 🙄🤦‍♂️🤣👍
