    The seat off the later model is a bit thicker in the padding and slightly more comfortable,by Italian standards anyway

    Hoki Rally - afterwards...

    Well, C.B. and self dined gracefully with the Ch-ch rabble and others in Hokitika after the rally then carried on to Westport, good windy bits near Punakaiki area, fuel up and scoff at Westport (with Mr Big of the Nelson Maccs franchise - his bike was worth more than about three of my best toys put together). Headed off to Karamea, a mighty fine piece of motorbike road met us at the halfway stage, twisty bits to Africa and NO advisory signs for any of the bends which went from 80kph in 3rd gear down to 25kph in 1st gear - all in 100 metres of road!!! brakes were hot and so was the rider by the time we got out of the twisty bits by Little Wanganui, last bit was a bit less dramatic 'cos was stuck behind new-ish XR6 'coon that was moderate at taking corners.
    Got to Karamea and found almost all the accomodation taken by the Nelson 4 Wheel-Drive Club (Bloody 4 x4s, always in the way) Had a GOOD nights sleep then headed off this morning, fuel at Westport, a beer with a bunch of biker types (owners of the dancing fool at the Woodstock rally, ZZR will remember seeing him) and then lunch at Reefton, more bikers there too - but a little more 'upmarket' than I'm use to hob-knobbing with ( found out it WAS Nelson Anniversary weekend this weekend - hence so many bikers out and about).

    Now at Maruia Hot Springs for the night, had a long soak in one of the pools (rated 'rapid cook' in my scale of things) followed by a cold dip and then a cold beer, yeeehaaa!!.
    (Bloody C.B. has already started into her G&Ts, I'd better go and catchup!!!

    You've got some great photos on that website too. The U.S. trip must have been awesome, although you must have had a sore arse after 43,000km on the DR - that's around 360km per day every day on the bloody hard DR seat.

    I will be at the Vincent and HOG Rallies as well as the March Hare. Funny I have never worked out the daily average for that trip . I didnt have any seat problems. Barb who I bought the bike off is the owner of www.alaskaleather.com and she had stripped the original seat and widened it then recovered it. She also supplied me free of charge an Alaskaleather Butt Pad. They were also my principal sponsor for the ride. I done 3 x days off 500 miles ( 800km ) on gravel each day and 1022 miles in a 24 hour period with no major ars problems. The ride from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay and return was a gut buster. I was physically worn out for a week after that ride. I have a ride report and pics on www.advrider.com do a search for " Kiwi heading to Alaska in Ride Reports . The Jeep trails in Colorado and Utah are just heaven on a DR. My best day I covered 140 miles and went over 6 passes all over 12,000 feet high. Next time I will lower the gearing and put on more suitable tyres. Cheers Toddy

    I remember the guy you are talking about Scummy - at least he wasn't as bad as the guy SuzyQ and I saw at 4:30 on Saturaday afternoon, he was ready to collapse and and bring up his lunch.

    BEAMER89, riding with us is no guarantee either, ask D

    best bet is to stick with 30Utd or SuziQ..... eh SuziQ??
    At least they take notice of the loud beeping that seems to pre-empt the blue and red flashing lights.
    And besides you get 2 for the price of one, with SuziQ having a direct line to 30UTD for advance warning
    See now THATS the real reason I wouldn't pass you through Arthurs pass

    I forgive you Rashika - though zzr could have passed us both and shown me the way!!!
    30UTD does come in handy with his warnings - the best thing is he may get a ticket but I won't!!!!

    yeah I dunno why he didn't pass us huh? He did mention something about a headache... maybe it was the hangover getting thru
    or maybe there was another reason for following a couple of cute chicks?
