Great pics - thanks for sharing. It is nice to take trips vicariously through those who actually do

5 - you will have to give us a comparison of your impressions of the ST versus the MV - real world thinking type stuff - not the Cycle World Dyno comparisons etc.

For the record, I'm not working on the bike in this picture. I'm just digging through the camera bag.

The bike was flawless, actually. Not a problem during the whole trip...

Other Motorcycle: one is enough but I'd love a thruxton just to use for cafe racing.
Extra Motorcycle: nah
wow

New Zealand is a beautiful place.
I've also travelled extensively throughout Europe, UK and Scandanavia but I stll think NZ has the best scenery I have seen.
I'd love to live in the northern part of the north Island. The climate is just about perfect!

Great pics! I think a trip down is in order, along with hiring a bike. Thanks for the great post!

It's bad enough that Scratcher's posts on Twins Hangout have got me looking at bike rental rates in Queensland. Now I'm checking Kiwi exchange rates. See America First my arse. I'm heading south baby! (Just a small matter of $$$ first).

Rarely have pictures, or a thread, on BHO made me so jealous.

Let's see some more!

I had a blast...

What no pictures of sheep or the very hard to find memorial to the NZ rugby world cup win? .... (sorry but being an Aussie we have to mention these things, its our birthright)

NZ is a very beautiful country, and to tour on a Triumph would be a perfect holiday IMO.
