Snooze time. ZZzZZzZZz

Snooze time. Too late of a night at the Indian rally. Ahhh love the quiet country boonies. Just lay down on a gravel side road and off counting sheep. #kiwiindianmotorcycles #indianmotorcycles #roundtheworldadventure

Stuff you see!!

Made out of tree parts. Pretty awesome and just sitting in a farmers paddock. #kiwiindianmotorcycles #indianmotorcycles #roundtheworldadventure

This was my breakfast.

This was my breakfast. No way was I going to turn down some local home kill steak. The Maori ladies cooking and serving were real fun. All the places we eat at are usually small, maybe around 1/2 doz tables but all the food is just friggen awesome. #kiwiindianmotorcycles #indianmotorcycles #roundtheworldadventure

This guy was looking for a spot to sit at so we invited him to sit at our table.

Well can you believe that we have found another bakery??? This guy was looking for a spot to sit at so we invited him to sit at our table. A real character. He's a farmer and could give a rats ass of what people thought of him. His shirt had 6" Dia holes in it and his left elbow had cow shit on it. Loved our time with him. Asked him how he liked his bacon and egg pie. He replied ahhh how should I put it, gay. Too much foofoo stuff in it. He spoke it straight forward Kiwi farmer style. #kiwiindianmotorcycles #indianmotorcycles #roundtheworldadventure
