Most weekends, looking out, searching for those Hobbits MaxSwell. As soon as we see one ...

A good wash with fresh water will be required. This guy is in the same vein as Burt Munro as far as I am concerned, just getting out there and doing it.

The tag says build date 5/89. The seller claims Honda New Zealand received a diverted shipment originally intended for Great Britain. Makes sense as speedo in both miles and kms. The red colour is very red compared to my 1200. Gets noticed. Non bike people cannot believe its a 25 year old model.

Thanks Parksey, a great article, I have not done all the "almosts" of the author but he is spot on. The Lindis Pass for example ....

"The blat out of Omarama took me through the imposing Lindis Range along the very twisty Interstate 8, cutting through the towering rockscape like a black snake, twisting back on itself, dropping down, climbing up, all in second and third gear."

Whilst it is rare to see Hobbits, you will always find a good road!

... the roads are lying idle, just waiting for you ...

Thanks HS.

Stunning weather for the 2013 Burt Munro Challenge Hill Clim races

... And you guys motorcycle ... Amazing commitment ...

Great photos 2 x Aces. Much pleasure in viewing, stay upright! LR

Cheers HS, LR.

Cheers HS. I have just noted the white arrow painted on the road, it is a little obscured by the mirror of my bike. There is so little traffic and what there is are mainly tourists, they have to paint these to remind which side to drive! Motorcycling heaven.

I have enjoyed the photos and the commentary. With the right eye and a good camera there are some amazing backdrops on your trips. Quite cool and well done. Creativity wise though for names, you know nothing until you visit NZ, the island to the north is called the North Island, the other island to the south is called .... well try guessing ... Again thanks for the pics. Ride well.

A great find. Hope you intend to keep the original parts. Love to see a pic once the mods done.

Great posts and pics, I could smell the rubber. Looked a great night out, maybe it will get mentioned in Cycleworld.

Amazing view, awesome corner ... as long as you stay on it I'm guessing. Great picture, did you ride this corner and then just think time to U-turn and photograph that? Amazing country.

Top pic, how a VFR should be ridden.

i am taking it this one of those I have less beer money moments rather than the officer just admiring the bike.

Great looking classic

Very tidy job. Shows how classic the shape is. Ageless.
