NZ Trucking Radio says a whole motorway was so fucked earlier this year, that it’s not being fixed. Just closed for ever …. is that right?

Andy's better placed to comment. I think it's an East Coast North Island road damaged by cyclones and with a history of slips.
With the exception of bridges, most South Island roads are in better nick.

Nah, he’s too busy working out how to reduce the slop in his front sprocket.
The amount of red wine that project will require would sink a ship.

Messing about with the clutch too... now it might be engine-out! Dunno about red wine, but there'll probably be a bit of claret before the work's finishedNah, he’s too busy working out how to reduce the slop in his front sprocket.

As far as roads are concerned, they're a bit up-and-down, like the Ashburton Bridge aye Greg? The Brynderwyns up north keep falling down all over SH1 so that's no longer even got a finish date, don't know about the East Coast, the rest is ok as long as you stay out of the potholes, and allow time for detours.
Meanwhile the bucket is still performing

Working on it, got an offer in and I had provisional finance approval but it may need an additional oral application, since lav repairs don't come cheap...

I’ve a feeling I know who the finance department is ….. you can oral application details to yourself though

Stopped at a small clasic rally this weekend. Just a few bikes, but these caught my eye. Eicher was a Bavarian tractor maker that was popular here in the 50s and 60s.

And here's another rarity. It really is that much bigger than the 912 behind it. Same engine output though.....

Indeed. I once saw one that actually had a 5l V8 under the hood, instead of the puny 2l 90 hp V6...

I imagine the V8 would push it just over the hundred hp?

Those Pantahs surely are a unique approach to custom motorcycles!! Love the sense of humour.

Agree. Even the typical tractor approach of paint everything company colours. But how many looking at them would realise they're a joke ?
I know a couple of Ducati nuts who'd not approve. Vigorously.
