    The Scrambler is now officially amphibious.
    It falls over on land, and in the marine environment.
    If I could get it to "Hover", the military would be banging on my door.

    Looks like the Waiheke run will be between xmas and new year. (there will be another visit after Clints ride). I will put something up in the Meetings thread this week.

    Nice job mate, so it was a successful shakedown run, what did Kanny think of it on the gravel?
    Hi I enjoyed it.Have to admit scary going down hill when going round corners with the loose gravel. A total granny.But not bad i think for a 1st timer.Just have to practise.Triboy has being great.But think he needs to head to turn off point so he can go at his speed and enjoy.After all thats what its about,Dont wont a divorce yet

    Yea, let him go his speed, when I was riding with him, he absolutely blasted away on one stretch, no way was I trying to keep up, I was like he's moving!

    Great to hear you are going at your own pace and loving it, thats what it's all about!

    Now time for another Wild Turkey, (for inspa...insperat.....for thinking)
    Here y'go, for a model. They even used tan seats , too . I have said many times that the GN250 and its cousins would be jolly good on gravel.

    Excellent pic Ixion.
    That is the style that never will age.

    One little extra mod is under way. Went out to the local wreckers, and got a FZR250 sidestand to compensate for the extra height.(about 40mm longer). Just got to modify it a bit, and Bumble will have a safer lean angle on the stand.

    Ok, guess I'll be bringing my own billy next time then!

    I do like dino's thinking though, you'll have to watch Kanny doesn't get to far behind.
