  • really dont know what i was thinking trying to ride up a snowy mountain but i made it!
    I lost my seeing glasses on day one, then my front brake caliper bolts, then my speedo stopped working and i ran out of petrol... but i made it from Christchurch to Oamaru via the inland route. Day two set off on my own, almost got stuck in Danseys pass, my clutch stopped working, an hour ride that took 4 due to snow and the gates being closed with riders and vehicles stuck in the middle no thanks to having two different councils on each end that obviously dont talk to each other...but made it to the Brass Monkey Rally site in one piece! great to catch up with the familiar smiley faces and a quick helicopter ride. then home on Sunday with a detour inland due to an accident on the bridge... Rip Mike!!
    Would i do it all over again on the mighty gn250... absofuckinglutely! best adventure ever!!! #GN250 #NewZealand #BrassMonkeyRally Brass Monkey Rally
    The Brass Monkey Motorcycle Rally in Central Otago, New Zealand. attracts around 2,000 motorcyclists, its name comes from the expression "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" because the venue is extremely cold, being within 50 km (31 mi) of Ophir where New Zealand's coldest-ever temperature of -21.6 degrees Celsius was recorded.

Defo worth thinking more about getting a lil 250cc cruise around for adventures like this (although I love my Suzuki 650cc Bandit, it isn't quite as nimble on the ice) Is this the last year for Brass Monkey? 🙃

I've been in the snow twice on my Thruxton. The first was un intentional, the other well... mmmm.... also un intentional but I did do it to myself un intentionally. No tips though so that was good. Had I two wheels like yours I'd do it all again in a heart beat. Fun vidi! Much enjoyed! Cheers Yoyo!✌️
