I hope they didn't use the R6 as a mower to do the lawns G.

Best you keep a track of the K's mate

You coming to Wanganui Boxing day?

Well, I didn't put my hand up to host this and none of you buggers did either, so I guess that Christmas socialising is not a happening thing here in HB, this year.

yup we did have a blast eh dawg!

i thought i had better post a couple of pics as i see the dawg hasnt.

the steps above lead to the lighthouse in the pic below, damn they were steep eh dawg. good job they had a bench halfway up!!! (needed about another 5 "halfway" benches tho!)

the lighthouse up there is the most eastern point of the north island isnt it? if so then i think i have covered the 4 "corners" of the north island quite well.

below is the awesome view from just outside our hotel/motel room of hicks hay. talk about the wop wops aye rob lol!

and who says that sportsbikes dont go offroading??? we did about 40+ ks of gravel riding

all in all i had an awesome ride, learnt a few things on the way too which is allways good

thanks rob!

And a happy Christmas to you too, Lee. It's good to see you out exploring this fine nation's nether-regions. 714 steps up to the lighthouse at East Cape. I bet you didn't count...
