And my Fat Girl is parked out in the wet while a freshen the front end of a mates VL1500....was a bit soft & mushy, could not loan it to a fellow Valk rider like that Wink



I did manage to get a ride in this morning before the rain, and it should be fine again tomorrow, once I have fitted some new fork springs to a RocketIII  Tourer for a mate it will be time to test his and ride some more Cheesy

I would give up a body part* to have some time riding my Valk across your beautiful country... Very jealous!


*Nothing major, like my left pinky finger maybe... Wink

Its a great place to ride, the only downfall is the roads can be a bit susceptible to land slides, or coastal washouts in storms....the last few days has been really wet (with breaks) so you need to ride with caution.... still plenty of fun roads though Cheesy

Lots of patched roads around ATM

West coast of the South Island is typical of that, one main road in many places, 110 cars had to overnight after they got trapped Thursday... a bit of hard case local reporting

My wedding ring is The One Ring and I have a tattoo of Quenya Elvish written in Tengwar with a quote from Lord of the Rings (In English "Not all who wander are lost")... I'm sure you'd have no idea what parts of NZ I'd wanna ride around in... Wink

If you take the back road way, the trip to Hobbitton is quite enjoyable (not that I have been on a tour, just been past it)

The general area has great roads of the main roads Cheesy

Well the forks work better with thicker oil and 10mm of preload, still no valkyrie though, not as nimble and the much large sized bike Tongue
