    Right the ferry is booked and we are locked & loaded ready for the fun.
    Me & 3 mates are heading down to Christchurch on Wednesday to meet up with this interesting bike. Looking forward to taking it for a tootle. Hand shifter will be interesting and not as much ground clearance as my Ape but it will be cool.

    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    What front guard? its a leaf spring for the suspension.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    Will certainly be interesting to see, as to how the vin thing will go well its a small build motorcycle so there is some room there and as its the suspension spring well it could pass but then again the spring out the front like that could be considered a dangerous fitting.

    Is it heading down or are you meeting it just to look at it ? I would love to get up close and impersonal with a camera.

    Its being ridden down from Christchurch. We are staying at the proud owners place on Wednesday evening and we will doing a short haul to Geraldine on Thursday then heading down in Ivers from there on Friday.
    After the Challenge we are off to Hokitika and then back to Chch from there. Will be a great 1st ride for it.
    Im sure you will find us at the rally site. It will be the only one there!
