More changes, thanks.
Very interesting talking to Dave at Taupo today. Looking forward to more tomorrow.
Another fine read Plum
Cool, I'm so envious.
Cool story, kids are so gullible Nice pics of the bike too, that is a lot of lean for a big machine!
Very much enjoying your tales. Happy and safe riding for the future.
Can't help you on the MZ's but I can't recall seeing any in my 10 years over here in NZ. I'm more interested in your CL400. Can you give me a review of your experiences with it. I'm particularly keen to know whether it suffers bad vibration at 60mph. Hope not 'cos I want one to play on. Ta
booked my place with the white trash man at TSS and looking forward to an evening of learning from a different perspective
Really enjoying your travels - thanks and Happy New Year!

Considering the complete lack of neat things it has stock, it's a trade down, and I'm not ready to join the grandpas yet

Seems we both had quiet years... Yes, the IAM systematic approach to riding is quite rigid, but as with many things, there is no hard and fast rule for every situation. It is more about applying the principles to every moment when riding and choosing the best position etc. I've even posted a blog too!
Sounds like a lot of fun, except the shooting stuff! Have a great time!
Looks like ya'll had a lot of fun and improved some skills at the same time! Win!
Good on ya Dad, proud of you. You keep 'em chasing ya tail!!!

Also, I always cover my brakes while commuting Ohhhhhh yes those are 2 biggies!!
The 2nd rider in the video must have been the fastest one to do the whole thing. Good stuff fulla!
