Yep the carb was great. However the not properly sealed rubber ring seemed to leak abit... just a little bit nothing major. I also took it onto the ATNR (And dropped it once before refueling at ShellOriginally Posted by xwhatsit
Good job! Very jealous. Wish I had the money and time to disappear like that
FXR held up OK? How's that carb on the open road? Starting OK in the cold fog?) It still runs nice
Well I hardly could afford to do it so I stole my mothers credit cardMaybe that was the reason why she was keep calling me
Now, If I did not have a ski trip on Friday (Tomorrow), I would have gone down to South Island... No I'm not kidding...
Yeah thanks for comming. Well I guess the word "BBQ" is the Manawatu Magnet
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

Great write up EJK on what was obviously an awesome road trip and all done on a little 150. Just goes to prove that size is'nt everything. Well done.
Little ol'Hornet Rides again!
That little FXR is becoming world famous in NZ ... after all its been through, it has the heart of a true touring machine ...
Good to see the young'uns getting out and seeing the world as it should be, on the back of a two-wheeled steed and feeling the journey personally.
Great write-up!
"I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"
I'm beached as!
Great writeup, big ups for making the ride! Nice to meet you, and yes those Ashhurstonians do put on a good BBQ (if you don't mind the neighbours).

We talked crap for hours (Mom this and Maha that...), talked even more crap (Paintball this, 4 corner that...) and the night was set.
Dont beleive all that they tell ya down there EJ, only the good stuff is true, they dont get out much....and seeing new people make them laugh funny and talk with thier mouth full. Na good bunch eh? Cool right up and yeah sorry about the weather, but I paid Mr Hickey very well too have the sunshine....

We were mostly talking "Sarge, blah blah sarge blah blah sarge.... and blah blah blah sarge.... etc" haha. Maybe it was better that you missed it?

Best moment: When I saw the chateau

The trip was overall fantastic

As you said, this time I took more than one pic during my tripYou have been hanging around Gijoe1313 far too much...
Nice work!
I've got a short video too, it's not really knee-down entertaining but it shows some scenic of SH4 from Wanganui to the National Park.
May post it up later... or next week...
Ah, furthur note: Last night GIJOE was talking unusually ALOT about riding to the West and East... He was teasing me by saying "Hmmm should I ride my 250 or the 900". Psychologically speaking, I think he IS jealouse
Don't worry GI, you still holds the title of The Master Enduro
