    This wont make the bike faster but it makes life easier in the US. Take a heap of NZ 10c pieces. Not only do they work as quarters in toll bridges, washing machines etc but they also make great gifts to people if you make up some tale about the tiki head being good luck.

    Hmm, moral dilemma here what with my occupation and all but thanks for that info!!

    USA

    Forgot to add, off to the land of septics in a wee while, going to take a copy of BRM and KiwiRider to show the Yanks (and for Waylander, the southe'n boys) what riding is like in NZ.
    Hope to access a 'puter from time to time to keep up with WINJAS ravings and to let you know what I'm up to.
    Plan is: land at L.A., cruise up the I-5 to Canada, drive back over to Sturgis in South Dakota then weave our way through Idaho, Kansas and other various states then a 2nd honeymoon in Las Vegas (discreet veil drawn over the preceeding there) then cruise around through Utah, Texas, New Mexico ,Arizona etc and back to L.A. and home.

    Hope to return with some good bits for the Sporty and a '66 Thunderbird.

    Then catch up with the Ch-ch crew at Magpie rally two weekends after we get back.

    Enjoy the trip SD. Don't too much, and have one hell of a good time.

    How long are you away for?

    Thanks for the wishes Malcolm, we're away for THIRTY-THREE days, yee-haa!

    I guess we won't see you at the Magpie as you'll be away riding up North - or have I got my wires crossed?

    Will catch ya sometime anyway (got 10-11-12-13 Dec off, may inflict ourselves on you - maybe other Otago KBers could also ride up, what do you think?).

    Yes, we will be up north when you get back, but I am off for the weekend of 10 - 11 December. The evening of the 10th is also the Chatto Creek Club's Xmas dinner (at the Chatto Creek Tavern of course). I'm sure I can arrange the roster to get another day or two off as well, so you would be most welcome to join in.

    Does that mean an invitation to the Chatto Creek do or is it a 'members only' event?
    And what about the idea of other KBers heading up to El Rancho Jantar for that weekend? Or is it a bit of an imposition?

    Visitors to the Chatto Creek Xmas do are most welcome. It might just pay to ring the tavern in advance and let the publican know how many extra to cater for.

    As for KBers heading for our ranch. No problem at all. Plenty of tent space, and of course one spare room with double bed for the first to claim it.

    Sounds like C.B. and I will be there, any other Otago KBers keen?
