Hi John,
Well I managed to get your message, by accident. While I was writing a message I tried opening the messages and it worked, doesn't make much sense to me but it worked.

Yeah bloody terrible I heard that you guys are expecting 200 mm of rain soon, better get a snorkel. 😁 I didn't think that cyclones were a thing in NZ but there you go.

Hopefully this will be the end of the horror show for some time.

Be safe.
Cheers,
stephen.

Hi John,

How are things going over there for you with all the disasters?
I heard Napier was and maybe still is cut off and the death toll is getting worse unfortunately, your ex pm doesn't live there does she?
Sorry I didn't get in touch earlier I ran out of time.

Take care,
Cheers,
Stephen.

I know the owner will tow the barge alongside the Beamsville. It was my plan to do it the last time out but a set screw on the drive shaft would not hold. Couldn’t fixit till back at home. It is one of the configurations I intend to do.

Did you move?

Ron here in Port Perry 🇨🇦
Did you move to a different place? The previous videos have been at a more remote location where the water levels changed, a launch ramp, a tree out over the water, and sand beach.

Hi John
Thanks for sharing the pic of the BSA's
I aways loved the BSA, almost bought a 650 while in college but couldn't come up with the cash. They are truly beautiful bikes. Hens teeth to find today.

Hi JB
The Pics you show of New Zealand are beautiful.
It does appear we have the same interests.
Your bike is beautiful.
Sorry to hear that you don't ride any more, my days of riding are numbered.
I started out with bikes when I was in my teens with a Cushman motor scooter.
Then progressed to a 750 Norton Commando. Later a couple Triumph 650's.
Finally ending up with the Harley.
My riding is just local, now. just putt putting around the neighborhood, avoiding traffic.
I find it very relaxing. Love the throb and the sound.

I know everything is going electric. But you can't beat the sound of an ICE.
I have a Harley Breakout. There is no way on God's Green Earth I would ever get an electric one!!

Hi JB
Thanks for the Vid. I love the planes. I never had the resources or an area to fly them much less the skill. Did try an electric Heli though, complete bust due to my lack of skill🙄🙄
I have seen some in action in my youth. I was especially taken with a radial engine Machine😁😁
Re the Vid, it amazes me how you keep track of the plane especially at those speeds😮😮
I was expecting a spanking when we started to talk planes😂🤣😂
