    Someone has to reply. WELCOME.

    Yes, sadly it is quiet here these days. Once upon a time we discussed motorcycling and shared ride stories and bike reviews . It was enjoyable to be here. Now it is dominated by Political Analysts

    The idea behind getting the Suzuki 125 was to

    Ride 90 mile beach, as if I got stuck in soft sand I should be able to retrieve the bike and if it fell over it’s not too big to pickup, I been to Kaimaumau on the bike when I master the art of putting up photos I will add them

    How did you go at Kaimaumau?

    That silica sand sucks! Well, the dry stuff does.

    I rode 90 mile Beach with some lovely young thing on the back in a bikini (her not me).

    The GS1100 wasn't a BMW, it was a suzuki tourer. Up through the Creek.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I wasn't here. And no one can prove otherwise.
    Please help keep me in leather and on tarmac - it's good for my ego

    I did it on my 05 ZX636.

    It was great fun, but nobody told me about the marshy stream at the end

    Funny, it was quite clear when I did it, which was fortunate as I kinda went from one 'island' to the next.

    Lovely young thing is putting the kids to bed shortly.

    lived in Rangiputa back in the 60's, only liveable house on the beach - was the old post office, no tourists, no holiday makers, no woke pos, no anybody - no power, pervasive smell of kero from the lanterns, remember the dragons face when dad brought a kerosene fridge home, the old orchards hidden along the beach produced great fruit, the mudflats down the harbour had great mud oysters-flounders and rays, many of the rotten old homesteads were full of bush honey - pretty simple living for a couple of bush-kids

    Kaimaumau - caught my first GTs there

    thanxs for the memories
    Be who you are and say what you feel cos those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind.
