April 2015 saw Mrs W and I, and Burra Bob and Mrs B B (from ADVRider) on a fourteen day tour of the South Island of New Zealand (NZ), but only one on a motorcycle, for me it was a Suzuki DL650 Wee Strom, and what a day that one was.
Why only one day? It helps if you don't leave your licence in your tank bag of your ST back home in Melbourne, or if it doesn't take 10 days for Express Post delivery for an errant licence to be posted to NZ. Anyway Bob and I picked up our Stroms (DL1000 for Bob, and DL650 for me) in Queenstown for an 8 hour / 200km day.
Destination was Paradise via Glenorchy where we met Tim & Bernie (north islanders) on a KTM (all in one piece) and a Transalpine (all in one piece of course - it's a Honda) and Bob provides some advice.
Paradise provided some views.
More views at Kinloch.
