http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ure-Ride/page8 Words can't really describe it...the pictures and videos kind of can...but you really had to be there. Awesome weekend with good company. Pushing bikes and people to the limit...well in a low key, adventure bike kinda way. But fair to say it tested some of us, myself included, both in riding skills, stamina and decision making. Videos to follow. ...
So I'm at VTNZ getting a WOF on the AT and the dude goes "so what's this - is this Honda's attempt at a Dakar bike is it?" followed shortly by "Is it a twin? Oh yeah it is...doesn't sound like it..." Since I didn't have the little sticker in my hand at that point I had the sarcastic conversation in my head...

So here's a couple of pics from my ride up Altimarlock (Awatere Valley, Marlborough) two hour ...
I guess I'll find out soon enough, so like a few things I've done in life, I'll charge right in and see where it gets me...not that I'm expecting it to get me anywhere. Kinda like a dear diary I s'pose...mixed with a loudhailer...to anybody willing to listen. Kinda queer I reckon.
