    Still nicer to look at than a bank statement.

    Might be handy if you live on the side of Mt Victoria. Even comes with an off road tyre.

    Well - I know people who would actually consider that. Wellington has quite a few walk-up streets (no vehicle access), it's bearable but OK until the renovations start... if you're paying tradies by the hour or hauling to skips while DIY'ing there might actually be a justification for buying something like this if it speeds the job up.

    The first thing I would do if I bought one, is get in to it, crack a beer open, turn it on MAX speed, and watch the sparks fly........(Literally)

    As much as I like the XJ550 and having had a few of them myself, even a stock mint one wouldn't be worth half of this

    That would pay for itself in the proverbial 5 minutes. A builder or similar would have that paid for in one decent hill job with difficult access. It is either one person fewer pushing shit all day every day or a faster job with the same number.

    Some time back I had the Council arborists around to do some work around a "sacred" tree on my property. The work involved removing a number of competing karaka trees. Originally they told me I'd have to remove the fallen timber.

    On the day though the team turned up with a brand new petrol powered wheel barrow - if you can call a barrow with tracks a wheel barrow. Then they didn't mind removing the fallen trees, they could all have a play with the new barrow. Just as well, they had a shredder the size of a small house in the street and they spent much of two days feeding karaka trees into it.
    There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop

    Oh god yes, too easy, ticks all the boxes - even exhaust wrap.

    Can someone tell me where to get "Golden Boy" tyres ?
    I'm assuming the sidecar crowd can tell us how to convert plain tyres...
