Motorcycle Adventure Turned Trail 2006
Posted by admin | Under Motorcycle Bikes Monday Dec 1, 2008
It’s more of New Zealand. The Christchurch Kiwibiker Adventure crew go on a Dual Sport adventure which turns out to be very slippery and better suited to trail bikes.
We started on public roads and finished on private land for a small pre arranged fee. I’m glad I was riding my CRF230 (trailered it to the end of the tarmac). Others road in from Christchurch on F650 Dakar, F650 Funduro, a DR650, a XR650, TTR250, CRM250, WR and some others including our English friend the Tourist on the Africa Twin 750 who did real well considering he had very road bias tires.
This is the rest of the ride on which I submerged the CRF on one of my earlier videos.

Fantastic video. I also have a crf 230 ( not the dual sport model) I ride a BMW r1150rt on the street. Why does it seem there is always someone trying to say we are polluting too much? Volcanoes pollute more in one hour than all the motorcycles of the world can in a year. Love to join you if I ever get to your corner of the world.
No National parks …
No National parks in this video. It’s all public roads and private farmland.
We paid a toll for the farmland access.
Having done a bit of cycling and more hiking I must say I prefer the thrill of taking a motorcycle on my adventures now days. It takes a lot more energy and requires a different skill set from other modes of travel such as pedel power or walking.
I’m glad that …
I’m glad that offroad motorcycling is restricted in Finland’s big national parks. These guys are riding pretty nicely, which is good. But still I wouldn’t like to spoil crystal clear rivers with chain/motoroil and clean swamp meadows with half meter deep spoors.
It’s more rewarding to get to these places by hiking/cycling without destroying that beautiful scene. Respect.
Awesome! Thats …
Awesome! Thats whats motorcycling’s all about! I really REALLY need to get another off roader!
Good job man, great gids.
Next time you go round the Lyttelton harbour, get in touch and I’ll come join ya!
Thanks.
The camera …
Thanks.
The camera I’m using is the same kind of thing as you find at
helmetcamera com au
or
helmetcamz co nz.
It was mounted on top of my helmet (that’s my favourate position when sticking it on a helmet as I don’t like the slight angle when it’s put on the side of the helmet
The helmet camera sends an analogue signal to the handicam in my backpack which records on to miniDV tape.
Was a great day out …

I had a fair few …
I had a fair few tools and spare bits like a tube and patchs, tie wire, zipties, assorted nuts, bolts etc, small can of WD40, spare sparkplug, some Quickmetal putty, spare chain link, a rag. All the standard stuff along with survival things like my lunch and survival blanket/bit of first aid gear.
We had to use 3 chain links to fix one guy, but if you keep an eye on matainance, chains and cables etc shouldn’t give any trouble. He was new, didn’t know any better.
i bet everyone …
i bet everyone involved were glad you brought a camera like that.How many extra parts did you guys pack?
