I'd never knock the Brass Monkey, its a good trip no doubt, but not enough seat time for my liking

so is this ride for South Island inbreds only?

[Transalper]

Bugger and, well, just bugger.
I dislike having to choose between two wants...
I will be staying home so that I may have money saved to get panniers for the Transalp which I want in time for summer.

[NordieBoy]

South Island inbreds and a selected few qualifying Norfies that have up-to-date visa's and can get through customs.

Might have to drop the 705's down to 13psi for that stuff.

any inbreds are more than welcome. Infact youd fit right in

Yep. Took it down the pylon track just past Horse Bridge on the right.
It's nice and light when lifting, pulling, pushing...

I need a foldable shovel...

I have an 86 XT tank here if you want to give it a try, might give you a bit more fuel range.

Might be worth a go. If the mounts are too different I'd go for the XR tank and seat combination I've got as it's a big Acerbis one for a 1981 XR500...

And looks... Ummm... Red...
