You best test one hitcher

Makes Auckland almost look sexy....scary shit!

Maybe because I'm an immigrant I see the place differently.
I live here by choice - and am thankful I can.

Yeah oldrider - It's still got a bit of a barge front - the bodywork is as wide as the handlebars - but it's very nimble.
I want to hate the handlebars - they just look so...something - but bugger me they work - they fit me, the hippie, kerry at motohaus - sm med lge - we all find them real comfy.

That muffler is something else though.

As the actress said to the bishop: Crikey, thats enormous... and look how far out its sticking.......


nice bit of kit though.

[Hitcher]

The Concours is on my list to ride. I must take a half-day off work and do just that!

[Big Dave]

Took it for a bit of an adventure this afternoon.
It does quite well on the dirt. None of the bodywork rattles and it's quite sure footed.

Power stands quite nicely too. Will hoist the front wheel without clutch work given a big enough bam.

Great photos. The viaduct is a great place dude.

[Bren]

Bugger, you get around on them nice bikes....perks of the job eh?

[Hitcher]

Is Kiwirider planning to give the Concours a Grand Challenge test? I'd pay to read that. (And probably to write it as well!)

Seriously, if that's an old mans bike then I'm a 60 year old stuck in a 25 year old body. Ever since I laid eyes on it months ago in a magazine, and a few weeks a go in East City, I've wanted it.

I wants.

Would depend on messers Kawasaki and their ambivalence towards the kilometerage.

Are they scared somebody might wear it out?

Noye, noye - the moderer wants to write da stori.

Perks of life!
Gotta be the best gig in gigdom. Just lately:









And my babies as well.




Just having a break from writing some of it up now. Back to it.

Mebbe one day - my gixxer thou vs your limousine - Taupo track? Loser buys the other a full tank of gas....

No no, think laterally. You can borrow my DRZSM, and race him in an indoor carpark (With ramps) and I lay out the track with roadcones.

Full tank of gas will cost BD $10!

We have a ST1300 at the moment as well.

Ross took the ST - I had 'Connie' and Osborne took the pix.

Ross and I were having a defacto slow speed maneuvering contest as we were wheeling the tankers around in the procession of U turns that a magazine photo shoot is largely comprised of.

These things with their wide balance and upright ergos are quite easy to wheel about if you have the confidence to do so.

Easier than the racing crouch on a sprotsbike. Well for Big Dave types anyway. DRZ hmmm - can I use my Buell.

Could cost JSG $30.
