Another story
worth mentioning, came in via email... There's some dudes on their way to the monkey . they started in Wellington at the weekend and rode up to Parau, virtually in the Auckland metropolis, and then they're going down to Dacre, just out of invergiggle, and then straight to the monkey. the lads from Wellington, Tony Cottle and Tony Davies, with Bron on the back, are riding BMW r/gs models, if you didn't already pick it up its PARAU TO DACRE, the cheap kiwi version of PARIS TO DAKAR. |
