I got talked into buying a wagon.
It's green. It's been painted with a large brush. It doesn't have a wof, but luckily it makes up for all of that by leaking oil, yeilding much rust and having been owned by a tinkering Barry who liked to make 'improvements'.
For anyone who cares (crickets........) it's a 1965 Hillman Super Minx Estate, with 1600cc's of asthmatic Rootes group cast iron, with 4 or the floor (that's an interesting story in itself as to why the gate is the opposite to the labeling... why is 1st where 3rd should be?) Green vinyl interior and 4 bald tyres.
Of course it was in Christchurch. I'm in Auckland.
So I sent some OSGCs in to negotiate on my behalf.
Nek minute
You can see some amazing indicators and projector spotlights already in this photo showing just how great the accessories were going to be.
From there, it was put out to pasture with some other treasures in a field so that we could discuss the stupidity of buying it.

That leaky hose you got is not a factory fitment, rather an after-market oil feed to the head.
Some barry's reckon triumphs need them. Others say it's a waste of time #sharn etc.
I wouldn't feel bad about blocking it off with the right thread bolt and some thread tape and loosing it if it's being a pain.

This one also has a flashing orange light on the back to alert other road users that you've stopped to have a piss / roll a durrie / sharn the benefits of 2 extra strokes.

Nice! Is that on of the CT's that were used to collect rubbish off the road? I used to see one driving around Hamilton every so often.
Probably? Although the key-tag says Telecom, so who knows. Doesn't have low-range like farm-spec CTs which I'm not too worried about. Seems well serviced too.

Because everyone else has a
CT110CT50 and @UTERUS says they are good, I grabbed this low mileage example from Turners auctions. These have been going for stupid money lately, however when an auction ends on new years day and everyone is still too dusty to bid, some bargains are there to be had.It's blue due to ex contractor and has only just been run in at 103k.
Rack box has since been removed and seems to go pretty well. A+

I ran these on kape:
$20ish buck on Ali. Link
Went pretty hard for what they are. Not the thickest canvas in the would. I slapped a mega sistema plastic container in each side to keep stuff waterproofs. Was roomy enough for all the tools and extras I needed.
I'm sure someone has a photo of it on my bike, but I can't seem to find one soz.

Hey Team, JB gave me a rough outline of the track, i converted it to a route and then re converted back to a track so it hugs the roads we will be going on exactly. Ill have a garmin 64s on my bike displaying this incase people get lost but if anyone else has some form of garmin GPS and wants to know where we are going each day download the GPX file from my dropbox in the link below and just chuck it in ghee (to your device).

You can also download GPX viewers that slam that shit into google maps if you have a mobile phone - I know this works on android, unsure about apples. /Better living

I kinda liked that i could beer scooter/walk to my bed from Smash Palace after some sharns and quite a few handles.

@BLIZZO is pretty good at making google maps you can download to your phone with a route.
You can then download the maps and cache them prior to leaving so you don't need signal.
