Ordered one of those adjustable air-dams for the DR, cool stuff, aye? :)
It'll add some much needed down-force

That one was still a baby....add some 28" hoops and you can just about walk underneath the bloody thing, too :doh:
No idea what's legal around here, but there's 1000's of them all over the place.
Mum picking up the kids from school on a stripped-bare 650Burgman, modded seat to take 3 bums, fat hoops, open zorst, unregged, bandanna and thongs, no helmets, kids in school uniform....couldn't get the camera out quick enough.

More pics coming....

Underbelly, Oahu West Coast

Homeless, squatters, dropout shelters along endless prime bays and beaches, security guards in every local servo/ school/ community ctr....and the $1000/night Disney Resort on the spit to the far right, fenced 10ft high with barbed wire right down to the waterline.

Hard to say. Plenty of effort visible everywhere, collections and signage etc but Honolulu is its own bubble.
We're also somewhat tied up with family stuff which doesn't leave much room for news and other stuff.

Restrooms are easy to reach as one can see! Does that mean a glass of that stuff and off you go.....? :oops:


"Restrooms" in that place should be rather labelled "launching pads" ...their stuff sure packs a punch. :-()

Back in the saddle from today with a pile of pics waiting to go up.
The super-smooth and ahead-of-time return crashed with a nasty surprise when pushing the suitcases through the door last night and be greeted with the disgusting stink of the place.
Apparently the freezer had packed up shortly after we left....what a f*&^g mess.
Busy day today then, but will get back on later this arvo.
