Doug Shields jumps at the chance to tour New Zealand with superstar DJ Carl Cox on the latest Ducati motorcycles.
I'm holding a golf club on a small ledge almost 1,500m above sea level on New Zealand's South Island.
The Eyre Mountains lie in front of me, the Remarkables range is behind me and Queenstown – adventure capital of the world, no less – is to my right.
I soon learn that extreme golf is just one way to kill an afternoon in this part of the world.
I tee off and look expectantly into the powder blue sky – but the ball, pathetically, limps over the cliff edge.
Carl Cox is standing behind me and roars with laughter.
The superstar DJ is taking a two-week break from his current tour, which involves 140 gigs in 25 countries, and I have been invited to join him and his friends riding around New Zealand's two islands on six of the latest Ducati bikes.
Oh, go on then.
