Colsan mate look at a TTR 250. I have one and a great bike. Also you are not to far from Coromandel and great rodes all through there...

yes i concure, but i do recall you almost walking bowlegged from a 4x2 like seating arangement
with an upgraded seat for the longer trips she'd be a little rippa

Seat all fixed now....cut down air mattress and sheep skin. Love snuggling up to that sheep skin at night....

Knowing you have connections with the Land of the Rising Sun....
At least knowing the Japanese, the guys would all be smiles at the end of the day and will be telling tales for weeks around the Tempura....
Bit like us I suppose, the way I ride sometimes that video was close to home....
Especially after a hard day....

This is from Japan, they all had a good time by the looks of it and some of the footage is very funny indeed.
Adventure riding is similar to this sometimes.....
We all have to start somewhere and imagine doing this with 180Kg bikes....

In the dry I'd try that stuff on the DR.

In the wet I'd be pootling around on the XR videoing the carnage

Haha. Even I'm looking at that one. Pity I'm such a short arse. I'd need a ladder to get on it.
