Hobbits and Bobbits_NZ North Island _Nov. 2012

Early Nov. and most likely a crappy time for riding NZ....or so they say.
Bollox!
8 absolutely brilliant days proved the North Island a treasure trove of fantastic locals, incredible scenery, brilliant roads and a barrel-load of fun with a first-class crew. Oh man, how good was it??

All the pics and yarns...

Tell ya what, some of the locals are a bit strange





Hans came from Vienna/ Austria for this one...Crusty was along, yayyy!!, 2-for-the-price-of-one-Tim's , Bernard to look after the local angle, Goodie and yours truly.

A bit of an unlikely mob at first glance, but Christ, it all gelled within a few hours, then the laughs came thick'n fast.
As did the unbelievable roads and scenery!


First stop on the thick gravel of the Klondike Rd near Port Waikato























Found some weird tunnels






Carved some tar





Stood speechless, gawking into the distance....





Had a bit of a Holy Touch
