Had visitors en-route to Brass Monkey - as they rode off I didn't feel envious at all - could it mean I have lost my motorcycle mojo after all these years?

How much does it cost to visit New Caledonia? (thinking like a sissy already)

Bought flights online on special for sane price as most national destinations....
will wing the rest,
my French is at least as good as my English......
So am pretty confident it won't cost all that much more then life in enzed...

A year ago, I rode my scooter to work (night shift) through most of the winter, 35k. I've aged a lot in the last 12 months. The biggest bugbear was the fog at 6am riding home. Using the car this winter.

Give us a report when you get back. Considering doing New Caledonia next time we hit a tropical island.
Merci beaucoup monsieur.

Done Raro a couple of times and it is great as it's just a laid back and easy place to be on holiday. We will go again for sure. Just aware though that we don't want to be blinkered by how great Raro is and miss some other good places. Looking at Tonga, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Niue. Done Samoa ... won't do Fiji. Tahiti ... too expensive.

Just to add some balance re Rarotonga, I was king hit by a pissed local I was trying to help and had three days in hospital to fix a fractured skull when I finally made it to a civilised country with an x-ray machine that they were willing to turn on. I will never go back there.

Just back from a fortnight working in Fiji, would go there for a holiday over any of the non-French speaking pacific islands. C'est bon.

We're heading to Raro later in the year. We have discovered that there is no Rarotonga TT lap record so we will be setting about to lay one down. Competitors are myself, my wife (a former nzsra winner & multiple battle of the streets podium) & a couple of other KB members who are both very handy on a bike.
This will be based on one full lap of the island on a AN 125 scooter from any start point, returning to that point.
For groups, bikes will be set off at extended intervals, between two & five minutes. Full gear essential.
results will be posted.
There's a good reason for Raro, to attempt to break our record.
