    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.

    hmmm, I think the tank might be ok, the Bars are pretty good - Probly bend the frame mounts though, and I dare say actually f*ck the bars. The rear side plastics are tragically brittle and breakable though...

    ahhh, you're right. Must be trailiebike shocks ... or he'd already f*cked the original front wheel doing more of the same.

    Went for a ride on some of the dirt bike trails on the edge of the waimak last weekend. Should have taken a video camera cause the Tranny, 950A and S10 were romping along them! Would have been a cool video. Road bikes aye - guess somebody should have told us "road bike" owners these things first!

    yeah, I reckon, otherwise I wouldn't have tried putting it up zeRax's hill on Sunday! Yes it is as steep as it looks.

    Suffice to say, I only made it half way up...I just need to identify the correct laws of physics impeding me so I can devise a cunning calculation to overcome them.... I have a sneaky suspicion it will involve the square root of DR-Z.
