Although it's not my Uly, I had a blast. Definately the way to travel! I was so inspired by the heated grips, that I put mine together last weekend. I bought a low bar, and threw a 2" riser in for an ideal cockpit position. I'll put pics of that up later... But first, enjoy the NZ pics!

Cheers!

Great photos! Looks like MTB single track heaven!!!
I'm guessing it must be somewhere near Vana? DD keeps talking about that place.

I think as long as you've been neutered they'll let you stay.

I probably should have tagged my pics as to where they were taken. The MTB ride was from cooks cove to portage, then into wakura (forgive my mutilation by spelling). Then I took the tiger from Nelson, Punakaiki, through Alfreds Pass, styed in Beale. Then on to Kaikoura through Oxford (to avoid the wind blasts). Turned around in Kaikoura and took some nice twisties a bit inland from my northbound route to Lewis Pass, where I stayed over in the Japanese Hot Bath in Mauri. Third and sadly the last day i rode back up to Nelson.

Very nice pics! Must have been one hell of a trip!

I like the "keep left" sticker on the Tigers dash. Why some people refuse to drive on the correct side of the road is beyond me! Just kidding!!!!!
