I hear what you're saying Seb, but unfortunately there is influence from a higher authority.

Ever since you guys were here there has been a nagging pressure to blow out the window at the western end of the house and replace it with a door to that part of the garden. I seem to recall that was your "really good idea".

Succumbed to the pressure last week and had the aluminum joinery guy in for a price.

But of course that will only be the start, once another outdoor access is in, I assume we will need new paving and outdoor furniture, probably another outdoor fire, shade sail etc.

Thanks heaps for your landscaping ideas, it's all big fun if you can just bugger off back to Aussie and not have to make / pay for it isn't it?

We're here to help TK. Just think of the favours Mrs TK will bestow upon you................

And we're flat out knocking holes in things as well - the en-suite de/construction will start in the next couple of weeks. But we have to knock and cut through 600mm of solid stone.


Oh yes, that I am sooooooooo looking forward to!

Cheers, SB

Just ruminating about the absence of a certain Mr Naga_Thai - the spiritual godfather of this bike.

Naga to the Bat Phone.............

We all have our crosses to bear mate.
I seem to recall a couple of weeks ago that you were very happy about those thick stone walls, because they helped keep the daytime temps down.

As always, be careful what you wish for.

Nice find there, i bet there ain't many 1kf's about now of any age with that sort of mileage!

Good luck with getting it all up together and on the road - definately a keeper i'd say.

It is all together and running sweetly.

I'm not going to register it (although I have all the legalese import papers) I'll take it on a short run soon, just to make sure it's all good!

Cheers, SB

Plenty of bikes to choose from TK,

As for registration, we'd take the previously approved NZ method where at least one of two bikes should be legal!!

You'll just have to guess which one

Cheers, SB

Not a bad plan Seb, whilst it's not my job to worry about minor details like registration etc., I would suggest that the PC Plods will always look at the big bike and generally overlook the little ones.
