    Yeah, for peace of mind. The plan for the 400 is to explore every corner, nook and cranny of the South Island possible so really want to have the reassurance that the motor is fresh with the ability to reliably handle as many K's as possible.

    The crazy thing is, I have spent over $5,000 fixing up the box and rebuild in the last 2 months, that's effectively half a brand new DRZ400

    Will be hitting you boys up soon, hopefully the Nelson crew are open to a Christchurch KB'er tagging along on some of your adventures

    I have just purchased this fine set of wheels, currently fitting a motor and a set of knobblies, hopefully this will satisfy the requirements for me to join one of your rides



    Will be in touch once complete

    All the best

    Oh, and that's a third thing, you have to be willing for every other member of the group to thrash the living daylights out of it, I'd advise some extra cable ties on the coffee machine...

    Umbrellas? What are you talking about? They are the dual external reverse induction air modulators from the vertical descent control system, this allows me to handle drop-offs up to 18 meters, I thought that's how you guys rolled up there?
