Mate it happened about 2 weeks ago - sold the DR-Z a couple of weeks before that too. Ideally I would still own it, but y'know how tis.

Was on TM for a while and so got it shipped down here. Given it a light flogging in the river beds here but the official photo shoot will be waiting till I get some tyres with tread so I can show her who's boss.

A few quirks with it (like 35W BA20D fitting bulbs - european std) and will have another rack at balancing the carbs this weekend, but tunns of grunt, rides better when ridden hard and is great on the road.

Cheers, B

Oh mate, jsut dying to giver it a right seeing to in the rough stuff, but it's hard enough staying upright on the road with the tyres it's got on at the moment! My luck, went to get them swapped yesterday and someone else had bought the rear I had my eye on...wasn't up for the $150 and wear rate of a D606 that was still there...

Now I feel really good about buying D606 front & rear yesterday! :rolleyes:

If I can just get them on today or tomorrow, at least they'll be fresh for Orongorongo on Sunday, mmmmm new knobbies!

A picture of yer bike in snow makes you look like a hard bastid...the truth is that a minute after that was taken I launched the 950 of that berm and binned in the car park...

[Woodman]

So if a pic of ya bike in snow makes you a hard basted does busting (or pushing) through snow drifts make you legendary - pics here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1683682&postcount=43)? None of us dropped our bikes either :bleh:

Should have gone for a look see up the Bossu Road again today but every bugger has his bike in bits.

So Zerax and I shot up Altimarlock this morning. I still reckon its an awesome ride and even better with it being all rutted and rocky - real adventure riding that stuff is. Bit of snow up top, bit of a joke about not wanting to break down out here with no food, no water, start raining, dark etc etc THEN whaddaya know - a flat rear tyre on the Africa on my way back down! (&*&&*$@% no tyre levers, no patch kit.... what a noob.

So it was a slow ride home with a very loose tail end - 60km or thereabouts. Lucky the rear was f*cked anyway.

Cheers, B

[zeRax]

awesome ride up, awesome sights as per usual, brilliant bit of road imo :P and i was dying to ride too ;D, gogo flats :X eep

Light dusting of snow on Mt Climie (behind Upper Hutt) on Thursday. Getting a bit nippy outside tonight. I suspect this years winter is going to be a cold one. Looking forward to the Brass Monkey!

[DerekP]

A dusting of snow in the south also. This one taken near Lake Onslow. Fantastic ride - great weather
