New Zealand High Country

Went to this haven of motorcycling to see my son and grand daughter, best excuse a man can have, and hired a 650 Vstrom. There is a book by Mike Hyde you can find details of here:

I was given a copy of this book by City Motorcycles, the rental company who allow use of their machines on tracks and gravel roads, which I used for 2500 Km out of the main tourist areas. This is Lake Benmore viewed from the Black Forest Station track.
I don't want to go on about this as I wasn't using a Morini for this adventure, but at least it was a V Twin.
I asked for another copy of the book for the club library, but I don't think we have one anymore.
If anyone has the chance to go to NZ then try to get on a bike and do some riding.
Thanks for listening.
P.S.
The Vstrom had done 107000 Km, 2006 Model. The company reckons they are as good if not more reliable as any BMW they have used.
