Well its not Duc related but worth a mention, I just got back from the South Island of N.Z. A mate and I did a 2 day Off road tour of the Canterbury area. It was awesome. If anyone is even slightly interested in riding off road and is heading that way I could not recommend it highly enough.
Check out some of the pics.

Yes, we hired them there. I rode a KTM EXC 400, little domw on pwer to what I am used to but that made it more fun, plus not as sore from hanging on [moto]

Looks great, what was the trip worth?
I saw one here in Barrington Tops that looked fun also.

Late on day 1 I was ready to vomit in my Helmet! Pulled through and by day two I was pumped to do it all again. I should have prepared a little better and spent more time on my bike before I went but in the end the Guide (Grenville) was so good he just slowed or revved it up when necessary to make sure we were pushing the whole time but would still go the distance.
I recommend it.
Reminds me, I remember a while ago, Matty and Doc suggesting an off road ride with the Monster clan, Anyone else in Syd interested???

I have paid a deposit for one of his 2 day tours already if anyone is keen.

I'll keen as well. I had a look at some of these tours a little while ago. This is my new KTM. I put it through its (and mine!) paces over the long weekend.
I'm off to the zigzag railway with a few mates on Sunday!.
