    Actually if you loosen up the throttle cables so it can't go past 50 odd kph then they can be registered as a moped.

    It's just not much fun on the beach with all the power now available though.

    You could also strap it onto the back of the XTZ so you couldn't be called a trailer faggot

    That may well be bodged on to my 125...

    I don't have a 125 yet but maybe I could restrict the 250's carb by 50%.

    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    Trade me seems to be a bit light on road legal sub 125cc bikes that are cheap enough to not care about destroying.
    Who is the one asking Q's about that Kawasaki farm bike?

    I agree. Got an automatic search set up that emails me new listings and all I get is scooters. Not really going to cut the mustard on a adv route with lots of water crossings etc.

    I watched the Top Gear 'Vietnam special' the other night, and now I am sort of keen for the lo-cc challenge. I reckon a nice legal AG100 would do the job.... We had a legal one at a farm I used to work on, I wonder how many others get/continue to be registered. Thankfully my own big bore AG175 is safely in Dunedin with my sister now, or I'd be frantically removing the '175' decals off the side panels.... Will there be enough postie bikes and GN/SR 125s to go round, I wonder? They do seem scarce, at the budget I am thinking of.

    More ideas needed. Has anybody got any good ideas for accommodation for the two day riders in the area around Lake Onslow, Lake Poolburn, Alexandra? We could just stay at motels or camping grounds but that really isn't in the spirit of the DB1k to date.

    Access to a one big or a couple of smaller bachs (or is it crib down that way) at Lake Onslow or Lake Poolburn would be more fitting. Shearer's quarters would also be an option.
