Well that's funny.. we were at the bar with EJ last night and told him not to bin.. The FXR already had a crack or two, wonder what it looks like now.

EJ says he's gonna keep on going, and that he's gonna finish his mission![]()
My vote for far and away the best section of SH1 in the North Island.
(Haven't ever ridden or driven SH1 south of Christchurch, so I can't make the assertion for the whole country, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.)
Glad to hear EJ's in one piece. Now there's a man who needs a Proper Motorcycle, stat.
kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.

To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
Wouldn't have been any better off with wider tyres hitting tracks the wrong angle.
One of the few things wrong with an FXR is the stock tyres - they are CRAP. Their size, however, has nothing to do with it. Just cheap, nasty hard compound tyres. Not sure if EJ has stockers or not...
I know what you mean about those tracks - over the years, I've seen a few bikes hit the ground trying to cross them.
He's not gonna enjoy the Mangamuka's today,- it's pissing down from Whangarei all the way to the Cape, and has been for a few hours, and looking at the rain radar - it will be for a few hours more...

Well arse.
Bang goes me chances of getting me corduras back for this weekend I guess...
At the 2007 Westpac Ride:
Donor: So ya glad you're a Biker?
Minnie: F**k yeah!
Poor EJ. Glad he is ok and still riding....
Don't just live to ride but ride to live.
I'm glad I gave him a bottle of HTFU pills the other night!
Told him if he could keep continuing his journey no matter what, he'll be right as rain (I guess I shouldn't have said that last part!)
Experience will be good for him, nothing like a road trip to the back and beyond (relatively speaking) to get his voice to stop squeaking and grow some hair on his chest ... :slap: Feck. He's asian. Disregard.

He's just made it to Kaitaia. He's heading for Cape Reinga after lunch.
He's still young and rebelious - perhaps this was his way of telling you to mind your own business
I can guarantee you that SH1 south of Chch is the last place you want to go. I doubt you'll find a longer, flatter, straighter or just more boring piece of road outside of the US.
The last bit coming into Dunners isn't too bad and I dunno what it's like south from there.
That's a good effort! Where is he staying overnight?
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
