With such lovely days over this early autumn period we are really enjoying getting out there and viewing the ever changing scenery.

Seasons are reversed South of the Equator.

I drove the whole South Island when I visited in 2000. Would have been nice to have my Vespa along! Loved it down there!!!

Hi guys thanks for the replies, yes the opposite seasons makes for interesting reading throughout the year, hearing about the bleak winters that some of you experience while we are enjoying the sunshine certainly makes us feel that we are quite lucky seeing we can ride our scoots all year round whereas I believe some of the members lock their rides up for several months, Bugger!!!. Our winters are cold but nothing that a bit of extra clothing cant fix and we do not get weeks of un-ride able roads a few days in some areas but never weeks. Nice to hear you loved our South Island Dave and by the sound of it you had a good look around, I hope the mainlanders treated you right, it certainly is a special place with not too many people around to spoil it either. It is great motorcycle country, scooters, sports bikes or big cruisers. All the best, Owie.
