    That sounds like a good ride. I haven't been further that way than masterton.

    Thanks for the warning on my tail light, i've had problems with it in the past, its a loose fitting. I thought I had fixed it. One day i'll get around to wiring up an LED one. With 150cc's of shear grunt having people running into the back of me could be quite a problem.

    Fluid dynamics assignment turned into an all night mission, but got it in ok. It was so much better having the day on the road with you gentlemen than in front of the bloody screen.

    I'll let ya know later in the week. With the kids with kids moving back home -rearranged the shed last evening to accomadate their belongings-and baby Hans's 1st birthday on Sunday I think finances/time/attention is going to be a weeeee bit tight.

    there are some fantastic roads out east of masterton. Your 150 will love it out there.

    I was having trouble with my taillight a while back. In the end I just run new wires and hardwired it on. Can't think of any instance where you don't want it on anyway.

    watch that comboman.. I ride without gravel consists of about 45km of the stuff. I can only imagine how much gravel will be on a ride with gravel on it.

    it is because with NZ stupid buy/sell laws anyone can "buy" your bike with just the number plate. ie. Some dodgy guy surfing the net. Sees mouses number plate on his bike. Goes down to the post office and pays $20 or something like that and he now owns that bike. Then he goes to the bank and takes out a loan using that bike as collateral. He can because the registration is now in his name and he can prove that you sold him the bike - even though you have never met him and have no idea what is going on.
