Farewell TDM...

[NordieBoy]

Nah, based on Stretch's recommendation...

What's that front tyre?

[Oscar]

What's that front tyre?

Continental TKC80.
I'd highly recommend it as an adventure tyre.

I'm tending toward the "go large" plan meself.
I'll keep you posted.
Yer Mum's place looks nice (bit classy for those Kiwi Rider yobbo's probably).

Cool. I could tee up accomodation at my friend's station out the back of Matawai, the shearers quarters are pretty salubrious, & they have a new hunting lodge out the back that is awesome, but not very accessible on a big trailie if it's wet. Getting that far might make it a bit of a long day though.

Cheers
Clint

Congrats, Oscar. Is that the litre V-Strom, or the 'Wee-Strom'?

Don't forget to change your profile.

Thanks man, it's the litre bike - I've still got my LC4, the V-Strom is for the road or long distance adventure stuff.
I basically wanted summat I could ride to Wellington on, but could still take the "adventure" route, say through Whangaehu...

It came with a lowered seat (which I might put back to standard), and a big screen which looks naff* but works really well so I'm looking forward to some long rides.

Feel free to publicise his name so we can 'reward' him for being 'so nice'.

Nah, he's just young and stupid.
'Sides I got a bike to pick up....

Outrageous - but then, I've thought about sending you red for that haircut....

No problem, you make it so easy

[Oscar]

I make it easy for you to be a wanker?

Met with the publisher and the stunt man this arvo - he made noises like 'leave pass' and 'getaway' with a worried look on his dial - after conceding that the TDM was a possibility and then having the coversation subsequently hijacked by Stretch and footage of Rileys Skid marks.

HE was concerned that it's the same weegend as the Cold kiwi and a manfield day - relevance to the price of eggs - I'm not sure.

Call it the germ of a plan then. What dates you got?

[k14]

I make it easy for you to be a wanker?

Yeah and also make it easy for me to piss you off

They were impressive.

Stretch did like the V-Strom, we couldn't get him off it the other day on our jaunt. It was the 650 version though.

Yobbo's we are not, that is hurtful. Uncouth maybe............

2-4 September.
I can't see what the Cold Kiwi has to do with it, either.
