G'day mate,Im up in the north island in Hobbiton Matamata,
Originally from Coventry uk.Yep they have Hobbits there too.
Hope you didn't get to much damage from the quake.
Glad you have been introduced to old Chizel,he loves Taxi drivers!

 

Hi from another Kiwi.

 

Changed those belts yet Dave?

 

Yep, did it the other day, I thought 8 years was long enough between changes.

 

Why am I reading this thread with a cross between Jonah Lomu and crocodile Dundee's voice in my head!

 

I don't know, but then I'm not a Mental Health Specialist.

 

you fitted that key guard yet? Probably not quite as critical as the belts mind.

 

I have cousins dotted around the north island, Lower Hutt, whanganui and mount Manganui. I've been over to see them a couple of times and toured (by car) both islands.
Met a good mixture of people from a multi millionaire to some drunk who wanted to knock my lights out! Great poeople and country, I'd go over again and visit my cousins at the drop of a hat, but never bother to come over here, so balls to 'em !

 

Yeah nah eh! Just found out the best way to fit it is to use bathroom silicon,so will have a go soon mate,fitted a carbon swing arm cover,exhaust cover,new belts,rechromed opening rocker fitted along with valve seal,new fuel filter,new mitchelin tyres,so all good for the summer,bloody raining now and it's a Sunday...bugger.

 

Bummer. Raining here to but its Saturday... Lil bit of rain won't hurt it. Mind you, I don't like new rubber in the wet at all. Still, you've got months of sunshine ahead.

 

This year the weather has been fairly shit, really inconsistent and changeable, I hardly ever ride more than 2hrs at a time so don't get too far from home. That's not me in my avatar by the way, (I wish it was) I stole the picture from somewhere a few years ago.

 

Hope that's not a bone from the extinct giant Moa you're munching on there Marshall?
I got a proper bollocking from a tour guide just for taking a photo, never mind eating one!

 

You should try these pies mate,I know the old kiwi is endangered but they only take the wild ones!!!

 

Not deported then?

 

No, Australia wanted him back :Hilarious:

 

Botany Bay??
