Not sure where you are in NZ but random weather site showed a range of 28-33C while many of us are <0. That is 82-91F. Can I come stay with you for a couple months?

Up in Auckland, Bob, in the North Island. It's about 27?C right now. Bright sunshine, dry, with a gentle breeze. Perfect riding conditions. In the South Island, they are expecting temps up to 40?C (104?F) in some places today... My work colleagues are heading to a distributors meeting in Cleveland, OH. later this week. Apparently it's currently -3?C (26?F), they aren't much fussed about it.

Love the look of a Kat with spoked wheels.
Nice bike, Darryl.

Riding under the super/ blue moon tonight.

Well here's the super blue blood moon outside my bedroom window at 6am this morning. It was 18F so I wasn't interested in dragging the bike out for a photo. It was about 6:30am EST and we saw about a 25% eclipse before it dropped off the horizon! Next occurrence should be in 166 years.....zoom on iPhone is not very good for quality.

Lurch, that's a cool picture. I got up to watch the event this morning but couldn't get any good pics of it. My neighbor's were out as well which was pretty neat. We had a telescope set up on top of my truck and enjoyed the morning. It wasn't even down to freezing temps here so decent morning to hang out.

Got a break from the seemingly relentless rain today so I took advantage of it!

Had to give her a rinse when I got home!

Those Van van 's look like fun! I wish I weren't in a place that in order to go virtually anywhere it involves a highway .. a really really fast one. Otherwise I might have to own one.

I think Dave likes his Van Van quite a lot - he sure posts a lot of pictures of it! And I agree with Boriqua; it does look like a lot of fun!

I adore the little thing! It is seriously the most fun I've ever had on two wheels... and that includes the sexytime my wife and I had in our garage on her old GSXR! :victorious:

I imagine it would be a blast in the desert.

Can a bike with 16hp actually "blast" anywhere? :-s

The benefits of life in the PNW. Today I had fresh dungeness crab. $4\LB. or $6 for a big crab. Season got a late start this year, usually Dec-Mar. Puts those east coast blue crabs to shame! A lot of work to get to the good parts but well worth it!

So is there a practical advantage to those balloon-y tires and elongated seat? They really do make the bike look cool!
