    Well bugger me. Gidday again to the little Katana that could.

    It is the same bike!
    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.

    It's lucky to still be alive. It's single NZ owner did everything he could to kill it.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I have a feeling I should know where that stretch of road is...

    Nice video Jim. Where were the start and finish points? Was trying to pick out a landmark

    It needed a soundtrack...

    She stood there bright as the sun on that Wainuiomata coast
    He was an Upper Hutt boy on his own
    She looked at him with those soft eyes,
    So innocent and blue
    He knew right then he was too far from home he was too far from home

    She took his hand and she led him along that rocky beach
    They watched the waves tumble over the sand
    They rode for miles and miles
    Up those twisting turning roads
    Higher and higher and higher they climbed

    And those Lower Hutt nights
    In those Lower Hutt hills
    She was looking so right
    In her nose-stud and frills
    All those big city nights
    In those high rolling hills
    Above all the lights
    She had all of the skills...

    Started about where Oakleigh St turns into Maungaraki Rd and finished halfway down London Rd.

    I put up a longer one with music and no "Jeebus" credits on the local "Concerned Citizens" Website.
