How'd the walk go Dino?

I've been out in the van

all week. Found myself wishing I was on the bike many times! Although I did manages to do the 42T in it!

- but of course, I found helmet cam wasn't actually on over the main crossing & down the rock face etc! Got the attached though.

I've got to take some time off in Jan to - time to get the bike out again!!Lite you say? Hmmm, not sure if one can do that to a 990 can they

? Must swap it for WR or something!

I got a good lead for you if you want to go somewhere else....

The front is more the worry for me now.

Rode to work and back for the last 2 days on Suzi Girls DR650.

1st time on a bike for me for over 3 months, so that should count as an adventure.

Bout 30 to 45 mins at a time is all i could cope with before i started losing feeling in my right arm

Still was far more fun than traveeling in the Cage.

Good ride? Awasome day for it. I should have met up with you, I went for a bit of a ride out that way today.

Back seems to be recovering from surgery, was my 1st day on the bike for a month or so, can probably do a few easy rides now, just no rough stuff yet Dino

Yeah great ride. About 4hrs of riding. Roads were great and hadnt seen a grader recently. Had an iced coffee at Nikau Caves and talked to a guy and his misses who were riding 2 up on a tidy DR650. Does a bit of riding with the NGARNZ.

Heading down piropiro flats tomorrow for an adventure of another kind

still unable to decide on the car with mountain bike or the XR

Back in New Zealand again

Look forward to getting back amongst it. Brought the wife back with me so will need to do some stealthy negotiations and bribery to get out on short notice but I am sure I am allowed to play sometimes.
