Still have a soft spot for old SeeEnn - even if the one I had to ride was Blezards while he rode off on a posh Italjet.

Needless to say it went back cleaner than it came, (you could even see through the screen!) and with air in the tyres. But I loved it - it was all so wrong it was just right!
No door is closed to an open mind.
Except a closed door, which a mind can't open, but even a stupid hand can.

They are bloody ugly but they grow on you. Hard to beat for riding position.

Pickey I will take some photos of the run this weekend and post them.
Its a run to a open day at one of NZ best kept secrets . A car muesem called Southwards.
It is one of the best private collections in the southern hemisphere.
It started as a motorbike collection and has grown from there.
some really rare stuff .

Hard decisions. Just ride them anyway.
Fine or traffic penalty for me is less than registration cost.
I take the punt :shock:
