Not far off the truth actually!

The sad story so far:
Fuel tank - both sides scratched.
Rear Shrouds - both sides scratched, hell we'll call one gauged!
Rear Indicators - scuffed.
Front fork rubber covers- both scrunched.
Acerbis handguards - one gauged, one scuffed.
Front mudguard - gauged & scratched!
Engine casing - 1 weld + scratched both sides.
Mirrors - left side destroyed, right side well scuffed!
Seat - scuffed.
Reg plate - bent!

Not bad for 2 rides!!!!!!! Plenty of room for more character to be added yet!!!!

Hey the speedo works, horn is still on it and I think I have two new looking indicators, and the headlight isn't cracked,
what more do you want?!

Wonder what it will look like after 12 months of ownership?

At least all those scratches & dents are the result of having the kind of fun you can't put a price tag on - I'm at peace with it man!

(Little creamy what? You been at the Heineys already tonite? Geez.........)

I have just confirmed to the land owner we will be coming on:

SUNDAY 12TH APRIL with arrival at Orongorongo Station approx 9am.

Going on Sunday has allowed Eddieb to join us, so a special thanks to those of you that gave flexibility to do either day, much appreciated as Eddie had to miss Odlins due to heavy cold and it will be great for him to get out with us on a challenging ride after missing that!

Looking forward to it already!!!

Bumped - just for Joe, as he is too much of a lazy arse to look on the calendar or page 2 of the forum to get the meet time and place!

I dunno, the things I do for my mate!

Sheesh!
