Awesome ride. There's only 3 things stopping me do a ride like that. 1) I don't have nearly enough skill. 2) I don't have a KTM. 3) both of the above again. At least we get to watch.

Kia ora Chris, lovely Christmas present thanks 😄 Not just the riding magic but the memories of growing up in Palmy and Horowhenua riding around the farms, hare scrambles and enduro's. All a long time ago now however your video just brought back so many memories and desires to get back (riding in the UK and France now). You are a good ambassador for the county buddy. Take care mate and I wish you and your family a lovely Christmas and look forward to seeing you more in the New Year. Hope to see you at the UK ABR Festival if you are going again!! Mark

Merry Christmas! Hi Chris, I recently moved from Christchurch to Northland and have been struggling a bit to find roads suitable for ADV off-road riding. It used to be much easier and more convenient in Christchurch. I ride a Honda XL750 2023 and am especially interested in the dirt road at the beginning of the video, the one heading toward the snow-covered mountain. Could you let me know where this road is and how to get there? Is it a private road?

Great video Chris, loved the extra long one for Christmas. With all the bad press around KTM this reminds us all of what these bikes were designed for and can do (in the right hands). Amazing scenery and quality riding by all of the group. When it looks steep on GoPro footage you know it’s REAL steep 👌🏻
