    FJ gets visitors

    Living in Paradise has its advantages ... everybody (of importance) comes visiting eventually. Each and every one on their own adventure. The dual purpose bikes are popular ... and a common sight on the roads and trails of this area

    But when they left this morning they were in such a hurry to get away that they took the most direct route west.

    The rider had no complaints ... He's still getting used to it.

    They did the Dunstan trail yesterday. Few Hornets have done that. They were heading over the Nevis today.
