    A Tent is acceptable but a cabin means that I dont have to drag the tent around with me. My Mrs used to have the need to goto hotels or motels. I got pretty annoyed with that (Im not sure exactly why, but I did). I suggested that we bugger off home again because I did not feel that he was having any form of holiday. She now accepts staying in cabins, Im still working on her regarding tenting. Will organise a holiday just tenting down the beaches etc. Reckon I'll let her know about the time I c=want to ut the tent up? Yes I can put it up by myself....

    We like both; Having 2 bikes helps heaps, with the tent going on the packrack, with the actual pack facing the front of the Meanstreak (over the seat), and with hard luggage on the ST, its super easy to camp; Fav spots include Tapu - in fact anywhere with a pub within a stroll - cheap meal and some coldies to soften the ground!

    Another fav is country pubs - a great way to meet the locals. We did a month round the Sth ISland this way, had some classic nights and a room from as little as $30! Ofcourse, they know you are a captive audience for their food and drinks, but we were willing victims!! Also a great way to learn of magical biking roads.....

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Are you a homeless person?

    Let's all chip in and raise some money so Kickaha can at least have a nice warm cardboard box.

    He'd have to make sure it was insured, just incase Motu decided to run it over in his kiddie killa Pajero.

    Only if you star in my latest Bum Fight movie.

    Edit: Wait a minute. You've still got the same bike. How do we know this photo wasn't taken today?
