Yes it certainly is dry but I would rather have it that way and not pouring rain.. the camera position leaves a little to be desired. The top of the helmet is the better spot. Hopefully we will be back out on the road again soon.😮

You are so right about that highway with the lakes beside it making it a special road to ride and drive. I want to drive the Lindis Pass again someday.

It all looked very dry, Tony, almost like summer drought conditions. We've had very little rain here and the Port Hills are still quite dry.

It has been a long night....in Queenstown with siblings. Hope to get another display tonight. 19th we are in Christchurch, will phone you

You were lucky with the weather, Tony - clear skies all the time!

My siblings arrived today and are off around the SI. I am going with them as I haven't seen them since my brother's funeral. In Christchurch about 19th and will phone you. More Aurora to come. Keep flying.

Well done, Tony. I was expecting you to put something up! I didn't know you were off on your travels.

Awesome 🙏

Wearing the helmet is akin to being in a gas chamber.....no way out, visor up or down.

Glad you got past the truck, Tony. Take a clothes peg for your nose next time!

Yes I am experimenting with a few gimmicks that appear with the latest upgrades. Really quite confusing so it's obvious I should spend more time riding and taking videos!!!!! Then perhaps I can do better. I will be wearing the bike out. We have calculated that I have covered more than 250000k in 11 years.....pollution plus!!

Good weather and great scenery, Tony, a wonderful combination. I thought you overdid the gimmicky globe effect a bit, as it would have been nice to see more of the pass in a viewable format. Glad you had a good trip anyway.

Nice one beautiful kite

Promo`SM

Yes I think I am. Good at doing it too!!!!!!

Going round the bend rather often aren't you, Tony?

Yes it is an amazing camera. All packed in a small parcel, I suppose I look a bit of a nerd with it on top of the helmet but it gives the best view, and dare I say it....a view of the speedo.....but no speeding here.

Both are good cameras, Tony, but the Insta 360 is amazing. How do they pack such great technology into such a small size? And waterproof, too!

Might ride 50cc up......take a week or more though

A bit of a lonely ride, Tony, but very pleasant anyway. Hope to see you up here in the near future.

Looked like a lot of fun, Tony. I've never been to Waimate, but of course have passed it on the main highway many times. Maybe I should make a visit before it's too late. I noticed a lot of pixilation on your video, not as good as the usual quality. Were you using your latest camera, or had you reverted to an older one?

What fantastic weather, Tony! I hope your map-reading skills improve on the next section.

Great weather you have down there, Tony. Make sure to bring some with you next time you come up here.

A lovely ride, Tony -- no speeding involved, I hope!

That's certainly a lovely road to ride (or drive), Tony. Much improved in places since the big earthquake.

Perfect weather and very little traffic - you certainly struck it lucky that time, Tony!

Yes a stroke of luck, I checked the conditions on retiring and decided to activate the camera. Just as well I did. Detail quite acceptable for such a little camera.

Parts of that were quite spectacular, Tony. Well filmed!

Kaikoura coast at its best. One of NZ's great roads!

The weather was certainly much better than we had here on Monday, Tony, as you would have seen when you got here. If only it was always like that!

Hi Tony. So pleased your box rolled towards the grass and not the road centre. That was a great ride up the Kaikoura coast. One of my favourite roads with the ocean views.

Obviously built tough, Tony, like its owner!

That looked like a very good run, Tony. I hope the weather continues fine and gives you more such opportunities.

I was driving on the same road up to Pateroa last Sunday. I was in my new red coloured car. Did you see me ??

Good to see you out and about again, Tony. It certainly does look dry, and no doubt will be a lot more so when we get into summer.

Ayo semangat

Yes you are correct on both counts, video was with the GIT_UP not the best quality and I think the max for the sound is about a minute, interspersed with music. Hope to get out today for a ride so might get a bit of 360 footage...have fun I will

That may be music to your ears, Tony, but it gets a bit tedious to we non-bikers! Video quality was not up to your usual standard - different camera this time?

To be honest, some Conti pipe-mic instead of that shitty generic elevator-music would have vastly added to the clip. Half of the fun racing a Pantah is hearing her breathing - glorious times when Taglioni could concentrate on performance of the valvetrain insted of concentrating on sillily choking sounds and waste-air to unreasonable lows ... Anyway - very nice bike You got there. Thanks for sharing!

Enjoyed seeing the bike up close. Looks in showroom condition. It must be rather rare in New Zealand and valuable. Don't drop it.

Looked like a good trip, Tony, and things seem a bit greener than they were in the last few videos. Nice of Ellie to polish the bike so well for you - I hope you didn't get it dirty!

Another great ride, Tony. I've noticed that your recent videos seem to look rather too blue - something wrong with the colour balance on your camera, maybe, or perhaps it's the software.

Having ridden this route many times it is from Kurow to Otematata on the shores of Lake Aviemore and the lake offers great sailing.

At 33 degrees I thought you'd be riding in your bikini, Tony! Does Ellie know about the coffee lady?

A good ride, Tony, and it looked as if the weather was kind to you.

That thumbnail looks like a pepe the frog's eye

A great mix of classic bikes. makes from everywhere. Japanese, USA, Italian, British. Wondering were the location stop was?

Great that you had plenty of company for once, Tony. I was surprised to see you being overtaken, though! By the way, S T O P spells "stop".

Looked like a good ride, Tony, but I didn't see the pig!

Lovely scenery you have there, Tony. Beats ours by far.
