    Chinese GN wins First prize!!!! 15 Dec 07

    A 2006 Suzuki GN 250 with a giant snowman on the back won first prize in todays annual Raetihi Christmas parade. It was me! Woohoo!

    GN owners unite and celebrate! Our bikes can win stuff!


    Merry Christmas. I might need a new clutch for Christmas - was behind slow walking Scottish pipe band and was riding the clutch a lot, was a bit smelly by the time we finished.

    Luckily I didn't get busted for taking a pillion on my L plate.....

    Heh don't know, wasn't very keen to find out! But I hardly noticed he was there, and he was attached pretty strongly, courtesy of a couple of metal rods up his arse. (Don't tell the SPCSM).

    Even did a couple of u turns with him on, funnily enough.
