    Whanga

    1. Sitting at the Whaga pub when we were approached & asked who rides the Busa. Turned out the man has a busa himself modded with 999Ducati front, K5 swingarm together shortening the wheelbase 150mm, but what was amazing was he produced his business card which showed his company Braking Italia (braking.com) manufacture the wave rotors I am running.
    2. Whanga Road Lice
    3. Naki built vehicle drove 100km of backroads to get to Whanga. Runs 350 Chev & auto to Commodore independant rear.
    4. Goblin's friend 'The First Lady' of Whanga -(Mert the presidents wife), made herself known with wine in hand (she had had a few & not over the road at the pub) providing a few local colorfull stories. I'm sure Goblin will add to this.
    A good ride in good company Cheers folks

    What more can I add? She sure loved her wine!

    Not only did the guy's company manufacture the rotors....he designed them! The people you meet at Whangamomona eh. Made it a very special day for me.

    Just received an e-mail from Bruno Greppi (owner of Braking Italia) with pics of his modded Busa.
