West coast is a hard one with weather. If you can get great weather, it's so so beautiful & fun. If wet, yip, what you had. Loving the editing, bloody good & the sound tracks. Well done guys!
Fantastic job guys ,yes we are so lucky to have such great roads for bikes on the West coast and as you righty stated not an extreme amount of traffic for a main highway!🙂
Great vlog Paul n Elaine, I even learnt a new language lol, kudos to all of you crossing that bridge, my chicken feathers came out just watching Elaine, even my I pad got vertigo lol❤
Broken hill is much dryer this time. I even got sunburnt. But it’s cold. Only 20° so cold. Hahaha Heading off to Cobar tomorrow once again couldn’t get accommodation at Nyngan. Luckily got one at Cobar. Might also head up to white cliffs.
Paul I did nine months of non stop drizzle over there in the 90's had to purchase a bloody boot & shoe heater cupboard to keep the dam mould from growing all over them in a night. New nic name for you mate... DOWN POUR 😎 That swing bridge is a circus act hey gotta get Elaine to do a bungy jump next lol
Love your videos. People come to NZ and always talk about how green it is! Now you know why! Shame you didn't take on the Takaka Hill northwest of Nelson. It climbs to just under 4000ft, Harley heaven, with views you wouldn't believe.
Feeling your pain at the start of that day … days like that where everything goes wrong .. just better to get back in bed . But turned into Great vlog guys !!!!
Birdsalls leather craft, taren point NSW, have a leather spray with silicone in it, $38 , enough to do 10 jackets easy, as a harley rider an saddler, I used it on my jacket, makes it fully waterproof 100%
It’s the west coast of the South Island , did you not do any research. 😮😮😮 It always rains . I’ve ridden that coast in excess of 25 times , 3 times in the sunshine . Always pack your wet weather gear . Enjoying your vids
@@TheHarleyRoadshow strange and wet . Must be an Aussie thing MDB does the same all the time and moans no stop about how cold he gets - he loves the drama though . Ride safe and enjoy our awesome roads
Bad weather is all part of the adventure ounce had 15 days straight of heavy rain I was screaming at the Sky on some days but it was all part of the experience Mango
Oh no you missed the best scenery on the coast. The coast road north of Greymouth then the lower buller gorge is stunning. Great watching tho, but what the hell is up with those people coming onto the bridge! Crikey so rude 👍
Lewis pass on a Harley! You've got big balls sir. That road is a slippery b*tch and trucks pass anywhere they can. Just please don't do Arthur's pass on the Harley, that Otira Viaduct has nearly killed me twice. Glossed over brakes in a 1986 2WD Hilux with a 500kg load on the back makes you wish you packed a spare pair of undies!
@@randyranderson1621 yes mate it was pretty bloody hairy, Arthur’s pass was a perfect day when we rode it, didn’t get to the viaduct though, thanks for watching
@@TheHarleyRoadshow yeah she's pretty wet. Westland received around 7m of rain annually which is similar to the Amazon for pretty much the same reasons

Yeah still loved it
Another great video Thanks for taking us all along .
Thanks for watching
If ya in the west coast on a clear day of weather franz is amazing. Do the chopper flight onto the glacier. Just like melbun
Yeah we just got unlucky
Fantastic job guys ,yes we are so lucky to have such great roads for bikes on the West coast and as you righty stated not an extreme amount of traffic for a main highway!🙂
Yeah we were surprised with the lack of cars but very happy about it as well
Great video guys! Can’t wait for the next one! 😊
Cheers mate
Franz Vegas to Greymouth the best roads in New Zealand to go on a road trip. Love them
So did we, can’t wait to get back there
New Zealand is Just Beautiful !! 👋🍺👍
Sure is
Great vlog Paul n Elaine, I even learnt a new language lol, kudos to all of you crossing that bridge, my chicken feathers came out just watching Elaine, even my I pad got vertigo lol❤
Cheers mate, I wasn’t very popular after that 🤣🤣
@@TheHarleyRoadshow lol, you got a great girl in Elaine , I’m sure she’s forgiven you brother 👍👍
Many thanks, I saw the RG sticker & the jeans. Sorry they aren't water proof, hopefully dried out fast enough I hope.
I needed a wetsuit that day
Yay awesome can't wait,
Yet to ride in Lewis pass but done Arthur’s three times, go figure.
Fantastic part of the country, can’t wait to get back.
@@PanRider939 yep amazing
nice work guys. Just one question...did Elaine pop back over the swing bridge again to get the bike?😆
Yep, but if we filmed that it would’ve been an hour long video 🤣🤣
Yes and was just as scared 😮
That's a great run. You should have only run up to Hokitika. A good place to stop over especially because of the scenery. I ride a M109R.
@@samrichards670 nice choice 👍

Didn’t really worry us, the rest of the time weather was perfect

Turned the wrong way in Greymouth, missed one of the best rides in NZ 😊😊
Gives us an excuse to come back 😂

@@will-i-am1605 another reason to go back
Nice to see some of NZ. It’s on our bucket list
Definitely highly recommended it
What tyres would you recommend for the rain? Have Dunlop D402's on my softail now but need a new set. Cheers and awesome vid.

I felt your pain Elaine on that bridge... I would have crawled over, much to Reggies entertainment 😂 Great video guys! x
Elaine was nearly crawling herself 😂

Franz and Fox are both rain forests, hence the weather. The sun always comes out in NZ.
We had perfect weather otherwise

Thanks it wasn’t easy 😮
Despite the heading you did not go over the Lewis Pass
We actually got to the Lewis pass but didn’t film it because it’s in the next episode
Oh no you missed the best scenery on the coast. The coast road north of Greymouth then the lower buller gorge is stunning.
Great watching tho, but what the hell is up with those people coming onto the bridge! Crikey so rude 👍
Lol I know, one after another after another
You give our pie a 7 I give you a zero for the swingbridge
🤣🤣🤣
I can't believe you rode the west coast without wet weather gear. Where did you think your were going? 😂😂😂😂
@@waikukujk you don’t have to be stupid but it helps
👍✌️
Thanks 🙏
Who would ever go to the west coast without extreme wet weather gear?
Me
A shit day on the bike is better than a good day at work
Every single time
Need a bike with built in roof
@@tonyroberts6334 lol, that may be an option
OK its officially a curse, you need a rain exorcism !!! ...................................................JB..
I agree
