    They must be selling you second hand ones Jim. I have been all over the country – around the South Island twice, 2 up with all the gear (hair dryer etc) a lot of the time, gravel roads too. Mind you, I just changed the tyres on my 4×4 at 100,000 Kms – so maybe I am just not that wheelspinning type of bloke !

    While on the subject of tyres, I am disappointed to be replacing the Tourances on the GS after a mere 25,000Kms. Is there anything better wearing out there?

    Don't be put off by a couple of people who may not be interested. Many of us are and appreciate the effort you put into it.

    Couple of recent releases that make good reading are: Lois Pryce – Red Tape and White Knuckles;  and Mike Carter – Uneasy Rider: Travels Through a Mid Life Crisis. Have a look at the reviews on Amazon for details.

    Thanks for that Alex. It's probably not so much the traction that worries me as the roads I am taking on at this stage arent too bad in terms of steepness. What gets me is that floating feeling when there is loose gravel on the track – it makes the shoulders stiffen and the mind flash images of impending doom. Do knobblies lessen that floating feeling?

    I got an Air Hawk seat pad from a distributor in Australia. Google the name and you will get the details. These were designed originally for hospital use but over the years have been adapted for pilots, truckies and motorcyclists. I find it great.

    It's the tie down points on the bike I am pondering. The R1200GS has a fair bit of plastic to avoid !!
