    Glad you got the original exhausts - haven't heard one since, about 1973, but I remember it as about the best sound I have ever heard from a m/c.

    Arrow Well.

    The garage has been tidied and room has been been made to accomodate the new arrival. Will be up AKL ways on Friday and take posession on the Saturaday morning. Should anyone want to catch up on Friday, give me a holler. However, I don't know my way about, so you might need to find me. Anyhow here is a picture of it where the bike is. I can't find my camera, I think Mrs IL4 has put it away, so God will only know where it is, except her.

    Arrow Phew!

    10ish hours driving the hilux, met with crashe and the dude selling and we checked out his collection. Whoa! There are going to be some MINT classic Japanese bikes for sale, I really feel sorry for the dude having to do the selling... All the bikes are minters, Mark started up the Z900 :

    oh what a bike and an awesome sound! Walked around the rather large shed drooling at all the bikes, although many had allready been sold. Sadly yet again I forgot my digital camera, so I went around with the cellphone snapping pictures. Had a yarn and we loaded the bike, had a bit more of a yarn and we was away home. Returned safely and the new arrival is settling in its new home.

    On the way up some tard failed to give way to a truck in the Awakino George tunnel and ended upside down blocking the entire road. Took 30-45 minutes to get going and after looking at the mangled wreck of a cage, I'm amazed no one is dead, in fact no one was even injured! Picks to follow, I'm tired and grumpy...

    Cool Mr and Mrs Inlinefour.........

    Yep it was great to meet the man himself and the lovely Mrs Inlinefour...
    A really nice couple..... shame about having to follow behind all that deisel coming out of the back of the hilux everytime the gears were changed... COUGH COUGH..............

    Mrs Inlinefour is going to have to get her own login name since she is also a biker.... she even eyed up my cruiser and sat on her to check her out.
    It looks like there is gonna be a Yamaha Virago cruiser about to park up with all the Honda's soon.

    There I was waiting on the Ramarama overbridge looking out for this hilux and trailer to arrive... I was surprised by the amount of traffic up on that overbridge as well. Tis a great view of the motorway traffic.

    Those bikes in the garage were awesome.... such a shame to see the collection being split up, but one of them has parked itself in the hands of a KBer.
    Some have already gone overseas to Australia.... which is a pity that they wont all stay in NZ.

    How's the hand?

    Ps. Always loved the little 350 four! I'd have one tomorrow if I could! They were referred to as a "jewel of an engine", which fitted them to a 'T'! Esp in red!

    Injectors need sorting and the hilux is overdue a tune. Been too busy spending all the money on bikes. Mrs has the idea for he login but has not done it as yet. Will probably not admit being the Mrs on the fact she knows I'm a bastard and she wants to get to get to know all without the stigmatism of knowing/being with me. Took some pictures but they are not very good, might need to wait for nadroj as hes the king of digital photography.

    Very very nice, even for a Kawasaki
    Hmmm, one of the truck drivers at work has a tidy one sitting in the back of his shed. He has just started making waves about putting a warrent and rego on it and trading it in on a touring bike.
