Heya Vince
Can't drink  but may have a rum or 10 and some fine Central Otago Pinot Noir.
So far so good, difficult is something we don't see, everything seems so easy now after the trip, in New Zealand everything just works for the most of it....besides my life has never been normal so we don't need to stat now
Cool as in the Sahara and nice to know the Tiger performed well, expected nothing less they are a top notch machine to say the least.
If NZ is on your list mate you are welcome here anytime, as with the others the DR is your for the taking around Kiwiland.
Likewise with the rubber ...cheaper keeping it that way down.
Cheers Andi

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
