    Mud huh mate?! Should have got the trail bike!

    What a trip mate, reminds me of some thing a guy said one time:
    "Some times it takes a whole tank before I can think straight".
    True huh?
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    Hey! When I mentioned doing it to you (after you pulled me over in your plain-clothes car), you said `don't be silly, it's a 250 with drop-bars'.

    He's on a frigging FXR and he gets an invitation? Where's the justice?!

    Coppers, eh

    Your not the first to be bitten by those tracks in Kawakawa, I used to live there and it happens heaps, seemed to happen more in the old days than now.

    I try to cross them as close to a right angle as i can, its a lot harder on the north end of the town. Watch out for the wheel eating holes on the south end when it rains to. They still scare me now, once my cage got caught on them.

    Pics!

    Here they are!

    Pic 1. Just before reaching the Gravel (mud) part of Cape Reinga
    Pic 2. My historial pic!
    Pic 3. Mud!
    Pic 4. My tourer

    Yep, I did not have my proper camera with me this time. I took it with my phone camera (Hence the can't-be-botheredness of 4 pics on one trip )
