Say you have another bike also.
You should be keeping that bike.

Too old and knackered (me that is). Thinking along the lines of a DR650 or old airhead Beemer. (Pipe and slippers time...)

hey, bugger off, my add was #1.

buy a Ducati and live a little before you have to buy sensible.... and slippers.

Hi John.
Sorry about that.
Can't buy a Duc. It is red and you know how I like to blend in with the background.

Your Suzuki looks good ( for a fat porky 80's bike)
Would strip down to 200k's to take classic racing...
Get a BMW R80GS, get your slippers muddy

You live on one of my favourite roads I commuted over it for a year or two.
I drove over it today

GLWS, tasty Zook you have

The road to Mangamarie is great - apart from the traffic... I like the road from just north of Pahiatua to Pongaroa. From there any road is fun.

Might need a drill for that.

I admit that I do like the look of the R80/100 GS. They are shooting up in price though, and with my dirt skills I am more likely to get muddy elbows than slippers.

There's a hell of a lot of good roads around there, I used to go Eke-alfreton, up to Pahiata via Tirumea and over the track as my daily commtue (even though I was slightly north of Eke on the highway...)
99% of the roads out to and from Pongoroa are magic
