Thanks for the kind words guys.Garry, if you know the terain, can you please send me a PM of some roads to try ... I'm very much a "new kid on the block".  After our trip I tried a the run down Oromahoe Road and convinced myself that the airhead needs TKC's  😀Alex, Wayne (of the F 650) told me that he spotted "an emaculate Basic" in Cycletreads when he had the bike re-shod recently ... there can't be too many Basics in this neck of the woods, was it yours.  As for the spirit of adventure and arranging a ride out, it sounds like a fine idea ... however, I do have one miniscule problem that can be solved as soon as I can find a potential benefactor whos numbers came up on the Big Wednesday draw ... anybody ... please ... 😀We'll keep in touch.Youngjim, ... gan on then bonny lad, but takin' 'bout Shields y' must be a sand dancer ... or woors yet a Mackum (translations availible by request) 😀Ride safe guys

Thanks for the kind words guys.

As soon as time and funds allow, the airhead will be getting a set of tires more suited to exploring the metalled roads.

Kaipara sounds like fun too, so I'll have to see what I can swing with the social secretary 😉

If I do see you guy's around and about, I'll try not to drool too much over KA's HP2 😀

Hi Folks,

I thought it was about time that I lifted my head above the parapet, as we've actually been in NZ for over 18 months.

After the usual upheaval of selling up in the UK, finding a job in Auckland; realising that I really didn't want to live in Auckland; moving to Kerikeri and buying a house ... you know the everyday story of folks from the UK having four different jobs, and moving house three times all in the space of 18 months ... well, things are finally beginning to settle down, so here we are.

I still post occasionally on the two UK GS sites, amongst others, under the name of Zebedee, but I'll try and filter some of the utter nonsense that I have been quilty of posting from my postings on this site 😉

There's me on the big bike at Pukekohe a while back ...



... and here's the little bike in it's former keeper's back garden
