edit: trip complete

I'll be riding Dave Gale's Sport the last couple of weeks of January over both islands (my second time there). I won't know my schedule or even final nightly location to any degree from day to day, but it can be nice to know there are Guzzi riders in the area. Locals will be able to track my ride here when I do start out (from Auckland).

Safe travels Daniel... and I don't even have to say "be sure to take plenty of pics..." I'll keep an eye on you. I hope to do the same, same time next year. I've been promising Dave I'll come over, but life has had me too busy the last two years.
 
Re: riding NZ Jan 17 - 28

Yes, I've checked it out. It's well worth the effort. Found it by accident when trying to kill some time waiting for the ferry to get back to the North Island.
