I am not showing my husband the bike ones, that,s what he wants to get me on(off the farm that is). Once again beautiful pictures.did you do a photography course,or are you just naturally gifted in not chopping legs or heads off?Do you do alot of hiking, is that how you get to see beautiful scenery?

Learn't it as I go, I have a lot of really good ones, just not digital.
I take LOTS of photos, and then pic my favorites deleting the rest.
Digital cameras and big memory cards are great.
All of the pics are a mix, some hiking, some motorbiking, some in my 4x4, some from my boat and some from a chopper.
Silly thing is not far after having the bike photos taken, I crashed down the road at 70kmh, was a bit sore and slow the last 100km home.

Still uploading pics.

 

How about a chopper ride!

 

That look fun,my middle daughter would love that!

 

Or how about another motorbike ride:

And the best bit, relaxing with good mates and a few coldies at the end of the day!

 

 

Now there is something alot of folks wouldn't have access too in a SHTF scenario...a HELICOPTER!

 

Wow! What a beautiful country. I feel like watching Lord of The Rings all of a sudden.

 

Oh believe me mate, I've heard of the tail of the dragon and look forward to doing it one day!

 

That's horrible Te Hopo. How do you put up with it man

 

With great effort mate.

No pics today, been a full on day in the pits setting my mates race bike up for the season, 5:30am start, 6:00pm finish, I'm going to bed soon.

 

TH, what are the calibres of the rifles?
Truly beautiful country you have, good to see lots of running water and green vegetation. Makes a pleasent change to the opposite here.

 

A mix, I'm holding my .22 in the sunset pic, my .308 in the waterfall pic and the .308 again with my mates .270 with the wee Bush Robin.

you come n ride pleeeeeeeeeeeeease please please come n get me on a run of it...Its fun in a car but a bike would be way more kewl n besides we right close by

Sounds good to me, I'll be over in a few years.

 

Beautiful country damn you sir LOL.

 

Ok, I think it's a givin that if you want to see the best of NZ, you need a motorbike, heres why:

Theres more to come yet, just going through my many photos.

 

A wild Kaimanawa horse:

Spot the biker:

 

Great photos Te Hopo, it looks spectacular...and like you're having far too much fun! Thanks for sharing!

 

 

Damn, I'm running out of fresh pics, I feel the need for another trip coming on.

 

That's what I thought...



Yup...you're having far more than your share of the fun! LOL

 

Wow, those are amazing!! Very beautiful over there..........

 

What breathtaking, pristine, and magnificent country. If it weren't for the fact that I'm by the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, I would be envious...LOL. I would sure love to visit there some day.

 

Great pictures, beautiful landscapes! Thanks for sharing!
