I'll give this a shameless bump.
Hopefully they will have sealed even more of the hill by labour weekend.

I've let TSS know that the truck should be kept warm and probably parked up at the top of the Rimutakas.

:spanking: Don't swear at me! I have a perfectly good day out there, healthy mind and body (well as much as usual) a gorgeous bike in my garage but other what time management experts would call 'more important and urgent' matters to attend to than cruising in the sun on my bike.

There will be other glorious days I am sure......:confused:

Oh running out of gas about a k out of carterton and having the beast die about 20 meters from the servo was a bit scary too:doh::doh:

I was going to ask how that went. J-lo would be a handful to push.

Tell you what, Trying to get across the main road in carterton with bumper to bumper traffic and a bike barley running on 2 cylinders was very entertaining. After she died it was a nice coast in to the servo. :clap: for my dear old bike. What a noble steed she is a touch thirsty but a good horse non the less.
