Modern Baler Twine

Invervegas - or Invercargill to give it its proper name. I’d never been before but it’s home of Friends we met through No Fuss Events as well as home of Burt Munro of The Worlds Fastest Indian. Spook brought his parents here as a matter of great interest as we’ve always been convinced that there has to be a family connection.
But first I wanted to get to the Pacific Ocean that reaches across to Antartica. Chances are it was still going to be warmer than Lake Wanaka.

So much fun.
David and Nicky came over to take part in 10undertheben in 2007 and were great advocates of No Fuss. It was while back in NZ in early 2008, taking part in The Moonshine race with them that David’s mate invited Spook to come and work in NZ. Enjoying their hospitality feels like a wee piece of home - they make us feel so welcome.
Obviously Burts bike was on the agenda…..

I like to think that Burt would be very impressed with Spooks repair of the windscreen wiper. In days gone by it would have been baler twine that finished off the job - now we have the modern equivalent. Cable ties.

Soon as we get home, I’m having Spook DNA tested.
