a few pics below from March as it took a while to get them off the camera (phone?).
6 of use made the whole trip from auckland to waimate via the west coast and 3 came back over the rainbow pass (inc river crossings). i rode over 2300 miles on the a10 plus riding the actual ralley on the GB400 in the pic that i borrowed off my son. my b33 was a backup bike that someone else made good use of. both my BSA's performed (almost) faultlessly - very pleased

Impressive mileage Mike, how long did it take you?
-
Worty it took the rest of our group 10 days to do 400 miles less than that total (ie 1700 miles plus the rally) whereas I extended the trip by looping back to christchurch to see my kids and do some hiking in the Arthurs pass region - so a total of 16 days. one of the many highlights was the rally day on the small honda which is a recently recommissioned 'shed find' - surprisingly fun.
by the time i got home could attest to BSA meaning bl**dy sore a*se.

Brilliant, I take it you were camping??
It's a good acronym for our bikes, usually anything over 130m leaves me with no feeling from the waist down *eek* *eek* Recently, I acquired an Alpinestar biker jacket from my brother-in-law. It was full of rubber protective things and foam rubber with holes in it. Whipped all of those out and put the back protector foamy thing down my jeans - no soreness after 220m *good3* *good3*
