    I don't have any rear tyres even remotely suitable for mud/clay work.


    I've got to get the XR road legaled...

    What makes you think we did? 2.5 - 3.5mm left on a T63 wasn't terribly suitable.

    Fun, yes. Suitable, nah

    That's it alright, motion blur: fall down get up fall down get up fall down get up. No wonder I'm confused.

    I nearly fell off laughing. Actually from where I was it looked like you backflipped over a bank.
    I missed it, dammit, too busy taking an excursion of my own. But you did well on the boggy clay climb up.

    Padmei you better watchout for the boi racer laws... sustained loss of traction indeed!

    .

    Sweet my DR250 might have a place...if I ever get it going. Best response was a couple of loud bangs followed by white smoke coming out the exhaust for a couple of minutes.

    Oh and the DR-Z is back up for sale

    Gidday Atawhai. I know that scene well and I'll be seeing it this weekend. (My in-laws live about 2km further north)

    What are you NN fella's up to on Sat Arvo? Anybody want to have a coffee in town somewhere? I wont have the XTZ up there unfortunatly so cant go riding. Might have to nip off to talk to a man about a dog later in the arvo though

    Cheers R

    You can borrow Gonzo for a blast if you want - if I'm not cleaning it. You won't be insured tho!! Let me know.

    Chances are I've prob done work at your outlaws house. 2 ks north would be just past sewerside dr.

    Yeah, stay in touch, sounds like a good idea.

    I had enough of work today so went for a slow cruise up the Maitai & halfway up the Maunga. It was absolutely stunning. There were completely frosted fields I stopped to crunch thru. Would be a great photo for a tag but I didn't have a camera with me.

    If you get the chance & want to see another side to Nelson, get a long there in the avo. The best thing was there was no sunstrike tho there was ice on the road hence the slow pace.

    Also got to sit on a 990 Erzburg SE thingy today.
