I m halfway down an old shark fisherman s track on the Karikari Peninsula when the back wheel of my motorbike digs into a muddy rut and I m tossed sideways into a gorse bush.
I stand up. The sun is oven hot. The birds are singing and everything is still. A trickle of petrol runs out of my BMW G650GS. I have only a scant idea of where I am. Now, this is what I call a good holiday.
