Fishing. And if that doesn't go well, I might fish some more. Then, get the bike dirty somewhere, that's usually pretty successful

Methinks you are talking about the Kauaeranga valley. The gorge in question is a little further south, on the way to Waihi or Katikati.

​Picking up the DR800s and then sadly looks like I am having to put my kids down...
The GSH brother and Sister are old now and I have been putting it off for some time, so will have to do it.
To take my mind off things, a ride on the Saturday and Sunday will be in order I think.

Really sorry to hear about your kids Mark, I guess they are the 2 we met years back at Waiouru? Life can be cruel.
I have a 15yo topo who is deaf and has arthritis badly in her hind legs, otherwise fine, for now. The inevitable is looming but.
The ride will help, only briefly, then back home.............................................. ................................
Sincere condolences.

sadly looks like I am having to put my kids down...No, not for the time being.

Thanks for that and yes, you did meet them.
But.....They are still with me. I changed my mind after some great response and help/comments support, whatever we call it here on Kiwibiker....
They aren't ready and for what it is worth, they sort of told me and have looked me in the eye and all is good for the time being...
Once again thanks...
