I'm after one this weekend for a trail ride near Atiamuri.
What locksmith in Napier did you get it from ?? :spudwhat:

Sorry I wasn't able to get back to you sooner (I was taking the long way back from Phillip Island......)
FWIW I got my extinguisher from 'Bay Locks', in Carlyle St.

Talking about extinguishers. Did you read this??

The $10 million ride

A USA trail rider has been presented with a massive bill for a forest fire which authorities claimed was started by his motorcycle, which had no spark arrestor.

Here is what the AP wire service had to say: The US Forest Service said it plans to bill a teenager about $10 million to pay the costs of fighting a 16,000-acre wildfire.

Ryan Unger, 18, was cited last month for operating an off-road vehicle without a spark arrester, which officials believe started the August blaze in central Washington. Besides burning thousands of acres, the fire destroyed one home.

The Forest Service is required by law to try to recover costs of fighting forest fires. The state Department of Natural Resources has paid about one-third of the total $14.9 million it took to extinguish the blaze.

"It's not something we take pleasure in," said Maureen Hanson, administrative officer for the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forests. "We understand a lot of these people don't go out to start a fire."
