give us an insight into your most rediculous ride

You must be keen. I found 45 minutes on my UZ125 was as much as my arse could handle.

A year or three back, 2 madmen from Orks went to ChCh and rode an old Suzuki A100 (I think) back to Orks. There a thread on here somewhere in the form of a diary...

Yep, I followed this as they posted and it was indeed epic. Riding two up to Wellington on that bike, pulling wheelies through road works.

If you have a chance the thread in this last post is worth a read.

They could have published a book.

Another EPIC are the boys from Whakatane riding across Africa, from bottom to top then to London. No electronic navigation gear, crappy bikes, 250 trail bike and two other old bikes. Anyone whose ridden these sorts of bikes for a few hours would know this journey was epic.

They even made the journey into a movie.

Just to divert a little. 600k's on a Jog is a major effort, but at least he's sitting down with the engine doing the work.

I wonder sometimes at the cyclists with loaded up front panniers, a handlebar luggage bin, two rear panniers loaded up and hittings the Parapara's in a head wind, and having to pedal ! Are they REAL men or just plain dumb??

Think I'll take the 50cc anyday,
