Motorcycle ride, Port Hills, Christchurch, New Zealand
31-01-12
Easy ride around the Port Hills which separate Christchurch and Lyttelton Harbour.
We went from the centre of Christchurch through to Lyttelton, around the bays, through Governors Bay, to Gebbies Pass then along the Summit Road and back to the Governors Bay Hotel.
It was a beautiful evening. The cold weather was trying its hardest to encroach on the summer evening and where the two met there was the combination of sun, heavy dark clouds and rain.
Unfortunately, because the sun is so harsh here, it was still quite bright under the clouds as the sun strove to shine through so the white balance of the Gopro went all out of whack, replacing the mixed and embattled sky with a plain grey as you can see in the video. Such a shame.
Time to test out the CPL Gopro case again methinks and sort the associated sound issues out...

Snow Fight at South Pacific Motorcycle Tours New Zealand
A New Zealand motorcycle tour company taking some time out to enjoy the snow and blow off some steam, oh and throw snow balls at each other (including the bosses) a cold snap hit Canterbury July 2011 and resulted in snow down to sea level, a big contrast to the New Zealand motorcycle touring season which can get up to 40 degrees celcius.

Akaroa, New Zealand motorcycle ride
This is the famous Akaroa ride from Christchurch to Akaroa New Zealand. It's a one way trip to the French settlement of Akaroa nestled into the volcanic hills of the Banks Peninsula. Only 2 hours from Christchurch in the South Island, this is a fantastic place to visit at the beginning or the end of a motorcycle tour or motorbike vacation. This is a frequent stop on our New Zealand motorbike tours and is loved by the locals as well as the rest of the world. Join South Pacific Motorcycle Tours as we show you just a snippet of the great ride that is the Akaroa run.

Motorcycle Tours in New Zealand by Ayres Adventures
We’ve been sharing this gem of a motorcycling paradise with riders for eight years. Word is getting around – as riders who have experienced New Zealand return to tell friends of their discovery. They rave about well-engineered roads, incredible scenery, friendly people, world-class food and fine accommodations. What's it like to ride a motorcycle in New Zealand? New Zealand seems to have been designed by a motorcyclist, for motorcyclists. Tucked away at the bottom of the South Pacific, it is the hidden treasure of the motorcycling world. In New Zealand, it’s never necessary to “pay your dues” in order to reach great motorcycling roads – they’re all great! The landscape changes with nearly every turn. A single day may include rugged mountains, lush farmlands, volcanic plateaus, ancient rain forests, pristine blue lakes and the sparkling waters of the South Pacific and Tasman Sea.

11 Day Motorcycle Tour of the South Island of New Zealand with Paradise Motorcycle Tours.
We finally made the time to sort through over 3,000 photos and hours of GoPro video to put together a collage. We tried to keep it as brief as possible while also telling the story of a 14 day trip. It’s mostly for our memories but we thought some friends and family might enjoy watching parts of it (see timeline below if you want to jump around). Also a note about photo quality - most of these were taken on the back of a motorcycle doing 50+ MPH, so these aren’t really art shots ???? And honestly, photos can’t really do justice to the incredible color saturation and majesty of the scenery that IS New Zealand. But if you want to get a feel for what the South Island is like, we'll hopefully take you on a journey.
IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTE: This video has very rich color and some highly detailed shots. We noticed that when you play back from youtube, you may have to adjust the playback settings to see it properly, or Youtube may convert the video and it will look horrible (washed out and blurry). Make sure the playback settings are set for 1080P60 HD. The default “auto” setting will probably downres to 720P and then it looks horrible!
