Horizons Unlimited - The HUBB - Pictures from our ride through New Zealand

Hi all,

This is sort of an introduction plus some pictures of our most recent ride through the south island of New Zealand. My wife and I have been avid readers (but lurkers) on HU. The RTW trips posted here have inspired us to take longer motorcycle trips further and further away from home. We're not at the point where we can do our own RTW adventure yet, but we're chipping away at the "W" part, bit by bit. :)

This winter, we toured the south island of New Zealand by motorcycle and I've finally put our blog entries and pictures online on our website http://www.ridedot.com/nz. Here are some pictures from our trip:
