    French Rego 1150GSA in Wellington

    Just spotted a French reg 1150 GSA cruising through Welly central. All loaded up with a couple on board.

    It had a URL on the top box but I didn't catch all of it. www.worldb***.com I think it was.

    http://www.worldbees.com/ No its not a sting operation It is a man by the name of Gilles Ratia.
    I dont think he was involved in the Rainbow Warrier affair so he should be safe to approach

    Also passed a sweet looking RD03 on Friday in Lower Hutt...it was in the back suburbs so must be a local owner? Looked in really good nic.
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    Probably not.

    Just passed them going down the Wangamoas toward Nelson half an hour ago.

    2 up, GoPro camera on the side of the riders helmet, panniers and www.worldbees.com on the topbox.

    Does anyone else here find it strange that so many have seen the same bike at different locations? Maybe there is more than one and those damn Frenchys are planning something devious and using lots of bikes to throw us off the scent.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Something I'd expect from Padmei really.
    He's probably having cold showers to sooth the welders tan

    I left him a message last night and he replied last night so he is checking it regularly.
