I finally got around to posting summat.After going for some time with a shed full of Austrian bikes, I've come over to the dark side...Actually, I've still got me 950Adv, and a 1981 Xt500, so I'm hedging my bets.Here's my baby:

Hi Oscar, how is the new bike going. It certainly looks like a beauty. I didn't know you had an XT. Every now and then one pops up at trade me and I start drooling again. I am thinking of organizing an Airhead GS only ride. A full day or even overnight, as much gravel as possible, but with enough time to smell the roses. I guess the Waikato area would be the best choice, even though it's a bit out of my way these days. I am also quite keen to make an excursion to Pouto Point, as I've never been there. That's going north of course.

suppose the good thing about having an airheads only ride is we would not need a breakdown wagon or have posts about final drives terminating for the next week. ::)

I am not sure how many would be interested. I know there are some airheads hanging out at Kiwibiker. Raglan/Kawhia would be good. It would also be easy to extend it into a two day affair by staying at Awakino or Whangamommona and then heading across to Taumaruni via some of the neat back roads over there.

There are a few airheads where I work. Trouble is, none of them ride motorbikes.

Guess it's the last time you'll ever wash it then: I'm sure that you will reckon Junior is old enough to be your bike valet by the time the next wash cycle rolls around.

Have you sold it? Make sure he keeps it covered in cling wrap, while he rides it back down to foggy bottom.
