Neither the bike nor the place appeal to me. :doh: I prefer value, 06 Tiger and Otematata! (Read: I am a cheap bastard) :devil2:

>>Otematata<<

Ahh - the night I spent in Otematata. Just hanging around outside the barber's shop watching haircuts till the power went off. Those were the days.

[Big Dave]

Actually - I was telling someone the other day - when I first moved to Tasmania the radio used to go off at midnight. TV was done at around 11pm and radio not long after.

I'd just moved from Sydney where nothing closed - ever. You could still get a Burger at 4.30am.

The Barbershop, it closed in about 1970, I had forgotten we had ever had one! :lol:

But of course you jest, you were never here in those "good ol'e days"! :whistle:

Oh yes, (sigh) the good ol'e days, just got my registration for our wee Toyota Townace truck, $398:45!

What a bloody rip off, $302.32 ACC and it hardly ever goes on the road! :argh:

Yeah well - I misunderstood your post and thought that is what someone else said. I wouldn't have been as rude to you - so, sorry.

Regardless. It's one of my favourite motorcycles. That's my opinion.

Beautiful the pair of em,a bloke on the TL forum has an old silver Honda 250 Motorsport (cant remember the year but its the first of them) thats used daily to get to work n back,would dearly love to restore one.

[Big Dave]

I am going to go back out to the Greybeards when it starts up again.

Firstly to rectify the biggest stuff up I've made at the Journalistic caper so far. Lovely gentleman and 25year KR reader and I relied on electronic capture and got his name wrong. Self inflicted face palm.

Secondly because they are such photogenic beasts and I want some more of those portraits and the dirt flying action.

This was the first outing with my new Nikon. I rather like it.
