Further to the last post. This is a variation of something that my mate Sean and I have had on several of our bikes. You can just about see it on this old photo of one of his:

Inspired by @bayport_moto s post I thought I'd share this.

The first Spyder had a warning card above the speedo which it would prompt you to pull out and read every time you turned on the ignition, I assume this was to meet some weird safety law in some country or other.

I modified mine and would leave it out when parked up

I mentioned previously that the TT2000 didn't quite go to plan. As this was my tenth I decided to do post about it.

TT2000 2025, or "Holes, Avoidance of"

TT2000 2025 or “Holes, the avoidance of”

There are times when I really wonder if there’s a little bit of my brain dedicated to self-sabotage, and gazing at the backend of my Spyder ...

May Allah ease your pain and fill your heart with peace.

Te rangimarie me te aroha.

My parents sent me a photo and I noticed in the background part of their noticeboard including some of my early bikes from back when I lived in the UK. I'm guessing they must have been taken when I visited them as I wasn't into taking photos back then.

Left to right: The front of a Honda CB400-4, Suzuki Intruder 800, Royal Enfield 350 Bullet, Honda CB550-4. There's a few missing (more Honda's and a Jawa) so I'll have to ask if they have more photos. #motorbikes

Was great to see how well this Union Hall at Runanga had been repaired. When I last saw it it was in a very dilapidated state.

The signage is certainly just as relevant today as it was back when it was built.

As you can see things didn't quite go to plan this TT2000, fortunately help was at hand (well in field) and so was able to get back on the road and finish the event.

Lots of east coast this time with just one foray to the west coast clocking up 2788km's in total.
