Seconded - if I make it... Don't usually feel the most comfortable trying to do tricky-dicky riding thru the semi-residential metropolis that is TaiTap, just too many "bonus points" waiting to happen (cyclists, 4WD tractors, mud, animals, riding clubs - 4 legged not 2 wheeled, la, la, la...)

Ya right, my last rig was a Ivco Strelis, full auto, but I never drove it like that to boring, so the choice for quick shit was there, still the computer does all the clutch work, even auto revs the engine in down shifts... was like it was posesed, but would I want to go back to a ranger?

Well by the time I got there and back I had remembered how to drive a crash box. Left a trail of grouched gears and a few complete misses along the way.

I still hate road ranger boxes.

Around the bays to Diamond Harbour it is, I will have foster son Zac in the side car so its going to be a slow trip for me.

Sorry to love you and leave you lads (and lad-ette) but the bike was misbehaving a bit so headed for home whilst we were close ...
Hope you had a great ride. Rather, I hope you're still having a great ride as you'd be reaching Governors Bay/Diamond Harbour as I type ...
