Nice looking part of the world.
I'd love to find a nice part of NZ to live.
But too many commitments here.

Its a bit of both, hills at the back of an inlet.

So here's an update on the handling since the conversion...

Fitting a new Pirelli Route made a huuuuuge difference! Now that is scrubbed in and I have put enough miles on the bike to get to the "ride it like you wear it" stage I have to say that I am very pleased.

It feels way more stable at all times (except on gravel but I'm getting used to that) some of my least favourite corners are now much easier to deal with and its faster and smoother through the twisties.

Overall it feels badass and I can't stay off it
