    Since when do I need an excuse?

    Since January 15th, I have put the required km on, and from about 4000km, she now stands at 9930km, going in tomorrow for her 10k service.

    My route stands at about 3184km (I have yet to do my final check, with latest mapset etc). Very happy to hear Kurow is open again.

    Some people out there think you need to be crazy to attempt this, however my imaginary friend thinks you must be crazy to miss out on this ride.

    It appears tonight the city s cordoned off between the one way streets, but by morning the cordon will go out to the 4 avenues

    the airport must be opening in the morning as air nz is putting on a 747-400 Ak-Chc for anyone that needs to get there

    Air NZ has also generously offered anyone needing to get to or from Chch to any other NZ airport until friday for only $50

    What shop is your bike at ?

    My KLR thinks it's a Hyundai - running happily at the red-line hour after hour.....

    My Big bike has developed an electrical problem that is too late to be fixed. Look out for one heavily loaded GN250
