    How many k's you run up?, I bought a new w650 2nd jan this year, just got the 5 k check done last week. Love the feel of a new virgin bike. We got 6 vehicles at home, an the W is all I drive, she's mine, all mine, although "her-in-doors" is gettin a tad jelous, specially since we get married in less than 2 weeks. Ya think she might have a point???..... Na... thought not

    Welcome to KB!

    You are looking a bit under the weather... time for another day off sick to recover. Tell the boss Dr Swoop says you are entitled to this under the "mental health" act.

    Howdy all.....
    Got a couple of thou on the clock and lovin it ....Had a sickie yesterday and shot off up north turned off at Mangamuka bridge and headed out Ahipara via Herekino then went on 90 mile beach all the way up (low tide) to Te paki stream bit un stable at times through some softer sand but just cant describe how awesome it was.Stopped at the Bluff for a breather on the beach and was swamped by some pommie riders off a bus (poor buggers) .They were wishing it was them.......bloody good day....took a long time last night to clean me bike...worth it.
    all the best on your wedding day w650....dont mention your ride on yuor honeymoon ay.......

    good to here you gave her a good wash afterwards... ......well done.......... I avoid sand cause sand = salt = rust = bits fallen off = loss of value.
    Nice roads heading north - a good variety of straights and tight curves. The Mangamukas are a good twisty gut wrencher.
