    Yeah, what happened to you on Saturday? Get lost going through Upper Hutt or what?

    As for fork seals, you're not the first to do in a fork seal on the taka's. I burst one completely going over there for a ride with Jim2, MarkNZ and Paul in NZ.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Sounds exactly like my bike. Mine has non standard mirrors cause the standard ones stick out for miles and look ugle as. I just can't see nothing out of mine, so its a good excuse to travel at a speed > the cages.

    That wind was pretty bad down this way as well, couldn't go too much over the speed limit without getting blown around tons
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    Mine are standard mirrors... stupid things... might get a bar-end for it

    I nearly got blown into a bloody paddock at one stage... would've been nice if it came from 1 direction but it wasnt. swirling all over the show. on one particular straight i was leaned to the left about 15 degrees to go in a straight line!
