• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Pegasus to Mt. Cook - NZ Rides

Hi all,

to "baptize" my new 2012 RSS, me and my wife took a nice ride to Lake Tekapo and Mt. Cook, in New Zealand. The occasion was to join the Starlight Festival, an astronomy event held in Mt. Cook Village. It didn't turn out to be good weather for that, but we enjoyed the ride very much nevertheless.
A few links for background info:

All in all we did 800km in 2 days and came home with a big smile on our faces. We loved the ride and how comfortable is! There is no going back to 2 wheels now!

Shot a couple of pictures along the way as well!

I spent 2 months in NZ on a Honeymoon about 18 years ago....almost didn't come back. Went from North tip of N. Island to South tip of S. Island. Hiking, Mountain Climbing, stomping around on a glacier, River Rapids, Bungee Jumping, even a terrifying helicopter trip thru a narrow canyon. The marriage didn't work out, but the trip was one of my best memories ever! Nice people and beautiful Country. Lucky You!
 
Thank you! :)
We are very lucky to be living in NZ, yes! It is an amazing place that takes our breath away every time we are out and about!
More pictures to come!
