No, not heard any yet! There are some really good roads here, let me know if any forum members ever want a riding holiday here. Either bring your bike or plenty of options to hire. The suspension upgrade and brake delink has been great. The Sargent seat was a recent purchase and has been noticably better on the longer days of the ride, when we are going over 500 miles distance. -
Annual rally held at Idaburn in Central Otago, New Zealand. Have been to around 10 of these. In the old days, approx 3,500 bikers camped in tents, surrounded by snow. These days, more like 2,000 bikers, some choose to stay in hotels nearby. Not a lot of snow and definitely warmer.

My favourite (other than the VFR) is the NSR250 down the back, I should post a photo. It is my mc28 with an R6 front end, Tyga Movistar fairings and a 300 kit. Finished as a Kato replica. The RC30 is kind if the VFRs grandad and is still sublime as a roadbike -
Thanks :-) The VFR has just clocked up 100,000km, so it was time for a wee overhaul. I followed mellowdude's writings and purchased the VTR1000 fork lowers off ebay, as well as the CBR600 F4i brake setup. Fitted .90 springs (I weigh 82kg). Initially it did feel a bit choppy but once the pace got faster, it was so close to perfect I thought that I had better not touch it. Fitted the Akrapovic that used to be a slipon on my 2000R1 but was just lying in the garage once I went to a full system. There is a 929 rear shock in there (another ebay special) that I had regassed and a slight modification to the high speed rebound.
