    The bikes were a nice touch and thank god they didn't make the ARCEE, the pink female bike my daughter liked, a Buell as was rumoured! An MV Agusta F4 is a much classier choice!

    Thought that rego sounded familiar! I just checked my old log book Al and I did my first night jump "#249" out of DAS back in 92!

    I figured you'd probably had a few adventures in her Al She was a beast back then, and I had a memorable day dropping blokes and blokess's out of her in Masterton with Mac. I'd never heard so much screaming coming from out the back in my life I'd love to open her up these days. Did you know she's had a STOL kit and speedbrakes fitted - Fark!

    350hp would get it off its arse! From memory, it was never quite as good as our Manawatu weapon KVZ. Though that did have a habit of dropping a cylinder on take-off. It'd always kick back in when the power was cut a little!

    flying is something that you should not be doing with your fingers crossed!

    Now that doesn't surprise me KVZ. Never flew it but got offered it a couple of times. I knew the bloke who ran hunters around in it all the time. He had some great trips down south Amazing some of the machines that are still around

    I think the only two concerns we ever had back then were "This isn't going to cost us more is it?" and "Who farted?"
